The next morning, Wan Yunting got up early to meditate and practice in the backyard. By seven o'clock, he saw his grandfather practicing Tai Chi nearby. After a brief chat, the grandfather and grandson went to breakfast together.
However, Wan Yunting drove Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao back, planning to have a good talk with Gu Yuanbai about the current situation of the Chinese Medicine Association.
"You're back."
Gu Yuanbai, who was at home and had not gone to the Chinese Medicine Association that day, saw Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao return. He beckoned them to the pavilion under the gourd trellis and said, "Wei Datong and Old Ding will be here soon. Sit down and have some tea first."
"Alright, Old Gu."
Wan Yunting went over, while Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao went back to their rooms first...
"How is it, are you rested?" Gu Yuanbai personally brewed tea and poured it into Wan Yunting's teacup, asking with a smile.
Wan Yunting held the teacup with both hands and smiled, "Yes, I've adjusted."
"That's good."
Gu Yuanbai nodded. At this moment, Du Hua came over and said with a smile, "Yun Ting, when did you get here?"
"Senior Brother Du, just now."
Wan Yunting also invited Du Hua to sit beside him and then asked with a smile, "How is the renovation of the clinic progressing?"
Du Hua also took the tea poured by his master and said with a smile, "It will be completely finished in a few more days."
"That's good."
Wan Yunting nodded and then saw Wang Zhuyu, wearing a printed dress, come out of the house. Seeing him, she called out happily, "Master, you're here."
"Yes, Zhuyu, come and sit..."
Wan Yunting also invited her to sit down. Du Hua said with a smile, "Zhuyu has been supervising the renovation work at the clinic during this time."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Zhuyu shook her head happily, "It's not hard work. I also want the clinic to open as soon as possible."
Wan Yunting nodded and then saw Wei Datong and Ding Huixiang, Zhang Fenglin and Shen Tonghe, Meng Kang and others, as well as Song Sinan and Shen Yingrui, Wei Renxin and Zhang Xiaoyu, Huang Jingshan and Ding Zipeng, Miao Yanzheng and a group of people arriving together...
"Little Wan is here..."
"Brother Wan..."
Everyone smiled and greeted Wan Yunting. He clasped his hands in greeting and greeted elders like Ding Huixiang one by one, and also greeted Huang Jingshan and others, inviting them to sit down...
Du Hua and Wang Zhuyu, along with the butler Old Hong, brought chairs. Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao also came out to help, bringing fruits and snacks to entertain everyone...
Gu Yuanbai also brewed several pots of tea for them. Everyone sat together, forming a small discussion meeting.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Wan Yunting finally asked, "Old Gu, what is the current situation of the Chinese Medicine Association?"
Mentioning the Chinese Medicine Association, Gu Yuanbai's expression became solemn, and he shook his head slightly.
"It's hard to say."
Shen Tonghe took a sip of tea and sighed, "Since Liu Pingyi and Xue Dongshan's group fell, our Chinese Medicine Association has suffered heavy losses. It can be said that it has almost come to a standstill."
Wan Yunting's expression froze, unable to believe it. "Is it that serious?"
"Yes."
Ding Huixiang said, "The Xue and Liu families were involved in the entire channel of traditional Chinese medicine. Now that they have fallen, all the channels are in chaos. We can only try our best to take over and deal with the mess."
"This is a critical period, so it's naturally a bit chaotic," Wei Datong also said.
"Also, the Gu family is still here!"
Shen Tonghe then said solemnly.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their gazes fell on Gu Yuanbai. He frowned slightly and said to Wan Yunting, "The Health Commission has already sent out news, confirming that Tan Jianlin will take over!"
This time, Wan Yunting frowned and said, "So, as long as Tan Jianlin takes over the Health Commission, he will empower the Gu family and compete for the say in the Chinese Medicine Association, right?"
"That's right."
Gu Yuanbai nodded, and everyone present also nodded with furrowed brows. The fruits and tea in their hands no longer tasted good, and everyone felt heavy-hearted.
However, Wan Yunting's eyes were steady. Seeing everyone falling silent and looking solemn, he suddenly said, "Old Gu, there's something I want to tell you, it's about the Gu family!"
"Yes, speak."
Gu Yuanbai put down his teacup and looked at him.
Everyone's gaze also fell on him. Wan Yunting said solemnly, "I sent someone to the Island Country to investigate Gu Shiren's eldest and second sons. I found out they have a hidden identity!"
"Oh?"
This statement successfully captured everyone's attention, and they looked at Wan Yunting curiously.
"They are citizens of the Island Country!" Wan Yunting said coldly with a solemn expression.
"What, citizens of the Island Country?"
This time, Ding Huixiang and Shen Tonghe were in an uproar, staring at Wan Yunting in disbelief.
"You're not going to say that even that old guy Gu Shiren is a citizen of the Island Country, are you?" Huang Jingshan exclaimed.
Wan Yunting shook his head and said, "I haven't investigated that, but based on the deeds of his eldest son, Gu Minghai, in the Island Country, besides opening a clinic, he also holds positions in industries related to cultural relics, and even engages in unknown dealings!"
"My God, the Gu family are spies...!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exploded, chattering endlessly, completely unexpected this result.
Gu Yuanbai's brows furrowed tightly, and he said to Wan Yunting, "Little Wan, are you sure it's true?"
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "Whether the Gu family is engaged in so-called espionage activities, I cannot confirm this matter yet, but I have asked my father to report this matter to the leaders of the relevant departments. I believe there will be a clear result soon!"
Last night, Wan Yunting received a call from Jiang Wenhao and learned about the hidden deeds of the Gu family in the Island Country, which also greatly shocked him.
Now, thinking of what Fan Liren said last night, that Fan Yuanyuan lost the Wisteria Painting, he suspected it was related to Gu Sinor!
And when Wan Yunting had breakfast with his father this morning, he also asked him to report this matter to the relevant departments and send people to investigate Gu Shiren and his family specifically!
As for whether their family were "walking fifty tens of thousands" (a derogatory term for spies), he believed there would be a result soon.
"I'm only telling everyone here about this matter, so please do not spread it outside for now, lest you alert the snake," Wan Yunting said to everyone.
"Understood..."
Everyone nodded, but they were still shocked by this news.
If the Gu family were indeed "walking fifty tens of thousands," it would be truly terrifying to think about.
Especially Gu Shiren, who had lived for almost a century. If he had truly done anything to betray the country, he might have committed countless acts of treason.
Gu Yuanbai's old face was grim, and he couldn't imagine that Gu Shiren, his former teacher, would be a spy who betrayed the country!
"As for Tan Jianlin, if the Gu family truly has an accident, I'm afraid he won't continue to make things difficult for us anymore," Wan Yunting said.
"That's natural."
Meng Kang said, "If we don't do it, then traditional Chinese medicine will truly decline."
"Yes, what is more important and what is less important, those in power all know," Shen Tonghe nodded.
"So, everyone, don't rush. Let's wait a bit longer," Wan Yunting said.
Everyone nodded, and then Ding Huixiang said, "Little Wan, will you continue to be the chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association in the future?"
"Yes, now you have successfully attracted the attention of the world to our Chinese medicine. Domestic colleagues even regard you as the number one person. Now, if you return to the Chinese Medicine Association, no one can stop you," Wei Datong said with a smile.
Everyone also smiled. Whether it was the Chinese medicine colleagues from all over China or the general public, they had already recognized Wan Yunting.
After all, his deeds in the Marley Kingdom this time had an extremely significant impact.
"Also, Elder Li's eldest daughter, we should keep her in the country to develop!" Shen Tonghe said.
"Yes, such talent, although promoting our traditional Chinese medicine overseas is also a great undertaking, but our country needs talent like her even more...!"
"That's right, that's right..."
Meng Kang and Wei Datong nodded in agreement, saying, "It's best to have her join the Chinese Medicine Association. After all, the future belongs to Little Wan and Elder Li's eldest daughter."
"Yes, this is possible..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Gu Luotang felt it was appropriate.
Gu Luotang knew that Li Yuxiu had great abilities when she lost the bet with Wan Yunting and was working at the clinic.
If she were truly allowed to join the Chinese Medicine Association to assist her man, she believed that the current bleak situation of the Chinese Medicine Association could be quickly reversed.
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Actually, I mentioned this to her a long time ago, and Doctor Li also agreed to join the Chinese Medicine Association if there was an opportunity."
"Really? That's great..."
Everyone was happy to hear this. Gu Yuanbai also nodded and smiled, "I'll go talk to Elder Li about this later."
Afterwards, everyone continued to discuss the future development of the Chinese Medicine Association, offering various suggestions and then resolving them one by one...
By noon the next day, Wan Yunting specifically went to Heping Street to check the progress of the clinic renovation.
"Master, you're here."
Wang Zhuyu had been at the clinic recently, supervising the progress of the renovation workers.
"Yes, it looks like it will be finished in a couple of days,"
Wan Yunting said with a smile, looking at the clinic that was almost completely renovated.
"Yes, it's in the final stage," Wang Zhuyu said with a smile.
Wan Yunting then turned and looked at Liu Ping Tang opposite. Now, only the shop with its door tightly shut remained. He couldn't help but sigh, "They really brought it upon themselves."
Wang Zhuyu said, "That's what they deserve. After doing so many wicked things, they should go out of business."
Wan Yunting smiled. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly received a call from Gu Yuanbai. He said, "Little Wan, I have some news for you. Tan Jianlin has been arrested!"
"Oh? Why was he arrested?"
Wan Yunting was surprised by the news.
"It's said that he was taken away by special departments for investigation!" Gu Yuanbai had also just received the news.
Upon hearing that special departments were involved, Wan Yunting knew what Tan Jianlin had done wrong and said with a smile, "It seems he took quite a bit from the Gu family!"
"Yes, Old Gu, wait a moment. My dad called me. I'll call you back later..."
Wan Yunting saw his father calling him again, so he hung up on Gu Yuanbai and answered his father's call. He said, "Dad, do you need something?"
Ouyang Zhixin's voice came through the phone, saying, "Yun Ting, according to the investigation by the relevant departments, it has been confirmed that the Gu family does have suspicious activities!"
Wan Yunting's expression froze, and he asked, "Really?"
"Yes, and the news just came that Tan Jianlin has been summoned by the relevant departments for investigation!" Ouyang Zhixin said.
"Old Gu just told me about this."
Wan Yunting was excited and asked, "Then when will we take action against the Gu family?"
Ouyang Zhixin said, "Due to Tan Jianlin's connection with the Gu family, the relevant departments are now summoning all members of the Gu family to accept investigation!"
"That's great."
Wan Yunting was excited and hung up the phone with his father, then immediately called Gu Yuanbai to tell him the news...
