Chapter 18 Truth or Falsehood?

The transportation department did not have many employees, numbering around ten in total.

The manager, a middle-aged man in his forties who had put on some weight, beckoned and called out, "Xiao Liu, come here for a moment!" after looking at Ye Cangtian's employment form.

"Manager!" a young man with a crew cut jumped down from a transport vehicle.

"This is Ye Cangtian, your new colleague. You'll be showing him around and familiarizing him with the work procedures for the next couple of days," the manager instructed, then turned and went into his office without saying more.

The flat-haired young man named Xiao Liu agreed with a smile, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and offered it to Ye Cangtian. "Brother Ye, my name is Liu Han. You can get familiar with the work by following me for the next couple of days!"

Ye Cangtian took the cigarette, looked the other person up and down, and said with a smile while holding the cigarette in his mouth, "Liu Han? That's a mighty and imposing name, doesn't quite suit you, though!"

"My parents wanted me to be a lone hero, but it couldn't be helped; I was weak from childhood!" Liu Han replied sheepishly.

The young man appeared to be in his early twenties and had been working in the transport department for two to three years. Although he was thin, he was spirited and spoke fluently.

Half an hour later, they drove off in a transport vehicle.

The work in the transportation department was simple: to distribute the goods sent from the factory to various hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in the city center.

These goods originated from the factories of Haitian Pharmaceuticals. Some were sent directly to various locations, while others were sent to the Haitian Building, where they were then distributed according to the orders of various hospitals and pharmacies.

Ye Cangtian sat in the passenger seat, listening to Liu Han explain the work procedures of the transportation department. He had a general understanding of his future work and didn't find it boring.

"By the way, Brother Ye, I haven't asked what you did before!" Liu Han asked while driving.

Ye Cangtian's lips curled upwards, and he smiled, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course, the truth!"

"Well, I used to be a mercenary abroad!"

"Alright, Brother Ye, I shouldn't have asked!"

Liu Han chuckled dryly; he certainly didn't believe it. He spoke with a hint of longing, "To be honest, Brother Ye, I've liked mercenaries since I was a child. I thought the life of being full of heroic spirit and forged in the fires of war must be really awesome."

"You watch too many TV shows! Awesome, my foot! What you face is either corpses and remains, or death and despair! You, forget it!"

Ye Cangtian shook his head and chuckled. Being a mercenary wasn't that easy!

Those ordinary mercenaries, despite earning high salaries, were earning it with their lives. Moreover, very few survived. Someone as frail as Liu Han would typically not last three days.

Soon, the transport vehicle arrived at the entrance of a hospital, a place Ye Cangtian had visited once before.

It was the time he sent Tang Yurou back to this hospital to work, and afterward, they were accosted by those street thugs, which eventually led to them being arrested by the police.

Liu Han drove the vehicle to the side of the warehouse and, with practiced ease, unloaded the boxes of medicine from the vehicle and checked them against the orders with the hospital's warehouse personnel.

Just then, a graceful figure in a white coat hurried over and asked softly, "Xiao Wang, has the nitrous oxide arrived? There are two surgeries scheduled for anesthesia soon!"

Nitrous oxide, also known as anesthetic, was a commonly used drug in operating rooms.

"Dr. Xiao, the nitrous oxide has arrived. It was just delivered, and I'm still checking it in!" the warehouse staff member replied quickly.

"Alright, please have someone send it up later!"

Xiao Yurou breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she finished speaking, she saw a familiar man standing nearby and exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Ye, what are you doing here?"

Ye Cangtian shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless smile, "Can't you tell? I'm a mover now!"

Xiao Yurou was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. She naturally understood what was going on. Haitian Pharmaceuticals was Tang Xinwan's company, and Ye Cangtian was her fiancé. Delivering goods for the company, although a bit strange, seemed reasonable.

"By the way, Dr. Xiao, all the other warehouse staff have left, so the nitrous oxide your operating room needs might not be sent up right away!" warehouse worker Xiao Wang said helplessly.

Xiao Yurou hesitated slightly, but thinking about the anesthesia needed for the surgery soon, she reluctantly said, "Then I'll take it up myself!"

"Let me do it!" Ye Cangtian said.

A box of medicine, weighing at least twenty to thirty kilograms, was difficult for a weak woman to even lift, let alone carry upstairs.

"Then thank you, Mr. Ye!" Xiao Yurou blushed slightly and also felt relieved.

Soon, Ye Cangtian shouldered a box of medicine and walked towards the hospital building with Xiao Yurou. The box, weighing twenty to thirty kilograms, was incredibly light on Ye Cangtian's shoulder.

Along the way, Xiao Yurou seemed to have something to say but hesitated. Finally, she spoke, "Mr. Ye, can... can I invite you to lunch?"

Before Ye Cangtian could answer, she continued, "Mr. Ye, please don't misunderstand. There are some things I'd like to consult you about. Yesterday, at the Tang family courtyard, seeing you heal Elder Tang made me have many questions."

She was a doctor, but based on the knowledge she had learned, it was difficult for her to understand how Ye Cangtian had saved Elder Tang.

Of course, it was not just that she was curious about yesterday's events, but rather she had developed a curiosity about Ye Cangtian himself.

Ye Cangtian smiled wryly and replied, "I told you, I don't treat illnesses. I'm just experienced in detoxification."

"My teacher said that poison and medicine share the same root, so whether it's detoxification or healing, they are actually the same!" Xiao Yurou said earnestly.

Her teacher was respected as a miracle doctor with first-class medical skills, yet the poison that even her teacher couldn't cure was so easily neutralized by Ye Cangtian. Naturally, she was very curious about Ye Cangtian.

Moreover, she remembered that when her teacher returned, he had mentioned Ye Cangtian multiple times with high praise!

Seeing the expectant look on the girl's face, Ye Cangtian was unsure whether to accept or decline. He could remove the elder's poison because he possessed a unique cultivation and circulation method in this world, but he knew nothing about medicine or treating illnesses.

Therefore, he truly had no way to explain it!

Just as they reached the fifth floor, they ran into Chief Physician Zhang, who was coming their way. The latter smiled upon seeing Xiao Yurou and said, "Yurou, let's have lunch together! I've reserved a table at a nearby restaurant."

Xiao Yurou shook her head, "Director Zhang, I have plans with a friend for lunch!"

Director Zhang then noticed Ye Cangtian, and his expression immediately turned grim. He stared at Ye Cangtian, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Is it him? Humph, this person is just a social scumbag. Yurou, you saw it a few days ago, it's best if you don't interact with people like him!"

"Director Zhang, Mr. Ye is not the kind of person you say he is!" Xiao Yurou hurriedly explained.

Ye Cangtian glanced at this guy, his eyebrows raised. This fellow always looked displeased whenever he saw him. Even an idiot could tell that this guy was pursuing Xiao Yurou.

He couldn't help but smile, then looked at Xiao Yurou, "Miss Xiao, I accept your invitation for lunch!"
