At the main entrance of the military hospital, Long Xingyu and Zhao Peng, both in military uniforms and carrying their luggage, were waiting on the steps of the hospital lobby.
As Wan Yunting approached with a backpack, Long Xingyu and the others couldn't recognize him because he was wearing a mask.
Seeing him walk over, Zhou Luolin asked, "Who are you? Are you part of our team?"
Wan Yunting, wearing the mask, chuckled, "Yes, but I'm from the logistics department. You can call me Xiao Huang."
"Oh, from the logistics department."
Upon hearing he was from logistics, everyone else stopped paying attention to him and resumed their conversations.
Zhang Guoyuan looked around at those present. Except for Director Huang and Expert Lin who hadn't arrived yet, everyone else was there, but Wan Yunting was nowhere to be seen. He remarked, "That Wan Yunting is quite the big shot, isn't he? He's still not here at this hour."
"Didn't we see him yesterday at the meeting?"
"Maybe he's still rolling around in bed with his mistresses."
"Haha..."
This remark made them all laugh. Zhou Luolin and Hou Haiyan, among the female comrades, also laughed. Someone asked curiously, "Is that Wan Yunting really that unfaithful?"
Hou Haiyan said, "Let me tell you, he's absolutely a philandering scumbag. I've seen his gossip news; the women linked to him number more than ten!"
"Tsk, truly a scumbag!"
"Exactly. He seemed quite handsome when I saw him yesterday, but after I went back and checked the news, he's unimaginably despicable...!"
For a moment, the dozen or so women gathered together, chatting about Wan Yunting's gossip.
Zhao Peng and Zhang Guoyuan, along with the men like Peng Yuxiang, were also discussing Wan Yunting's deeds. They all believed that he was merely competent and had achieved so much in the capital by relying on his connection to the Ouyang family...
And the person himself, standing in their midst, listening to them chat about his gossip and seeing their disdainful expressions, could only smile. Wan Yunting didn't take it to heart and didn't bother arguing with them.
Just then, a military truck arrived, followed by several jeeps.
Huang Hongying, in military uniform, along with Lin Dongxiang and Huang Guoqi, emerged from the hospital. A young soldier who had come to pick them up saluted Huang Hongying and the others, saying, "Director Huang, I've been ordered to pick everyone up to go to the airport."
"Good."
Huang Hongying returned the salute and called out to Long Xingyu and the others, "Everyone, get in the vehicles."
Zhao Peng said, "Director Huang, that Wan Yunting still hasn't arrived!"
"That person truly has no sense of time. It's already this late and he's not here, making all of us wait for him."
"Exactly, if you ask me, we should just leave him..."
At this, Huang Hongying glanced at Wan Yunting, who was wearing a mask, and then told everyone, "Dr. Wan has already gone to Mali in Africa ahead of us and will meet us there. Everyone, please board."
Upon hearing that Wan Yunting had already gone to Africa privately, everyone exchanged glances and said no more, boarding the vehicles in an orderly fashion.
Zhao Peng even pulled Wan Yunting into the vehicle, unaware that he was the very Wan Yunting they were criticizing...
At the military airport, a military aircraft was already on standby. Nie Xiaoyu, in a peacekeeping force uniform with a handsome beret, was present along with over a hundred troops assembled. Following the order from a middle-aged leader beside Nie Xiaoyu, the command was given: "Board the plane!"
"Yes..."
Over a hundred people shouted in unison. Following the order from their respective platoon leaders, everyone turned in unison and boarded the plane in an orderly manner.
Soon after, the vehicles that had brought Huang Hongying and the others arrived. Wan Yunting, Long Xingyu, and the others disembarked from the back of the truck, and everyone formed a line...
Nie Xiaoyu and the leader named Zhang Yang came over and saluted Huang Hongying, Lin Dongxiang, and Huang Guoqi, saying, "Director Huang, please have your personnel board the plane."
"Yes."
Huang Hongying nodded, turned, and beckoned Long Xingyu and the others to follow the troops onto the plane.
Zhang Yang glanced at Wan Yunting, who was wearing a mask, said nothing, nodded as a greeting, and then turned to leave.
"Board the plane."
Nie Xiaoyu, knowing that Wan Yunting was wearing a mask, said to him.
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, carrying his backpack, he jogged onto the plane with the others...
The journey from China to Mali in Africa takes over ten hours.
Wan Yunting sat alone at the tail of the plane. He watched Long Xingyu, Zhao Peng, Zheng Xuelan, and Zhou Luolin chatting in the front. He then closed his eyes to rest...
On Heping Street, Du Hua brought Wang Zhuyu to the clinic today. Seeing the first floor in such a burnt state, he felt a pang of heartache.
The police had already investigated the scene, taken away useful and valuable items, and had been conducting an investigation ever since.
Today, Du Hua had already contacted people to conduct a thorough inspection of the clinic to see if the walls had been damaged by the fire. If they had been, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, the fire had not damaged the load-bearing walls of the building, so it would only require cleaning and redecoration.
Chen Lin, Huang Pengyi, Sun Xue, and Zeng Xiaomeng also came to help. At the entrance of Liu Ping Tang opposite, Liu Yuan stood at the doorway, his apprentice Zhang Ping standing beside him. He suddenly saw a police car approaching, and a hint of tension involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
Liu Yuan turned and glared at him, and Zhang Ping quickly lowered his head and turned to enter the clinic...
Tian Xiangrong and Zhang Shunchang came with Xue Tonghua and the others, smiling and saying, "It seems Xiu Yuan Tang is not giving up and is going to redecorate and reopen."
"Heh, they can't catch the arsonist. Even if they redecorate, it'll surely be set on fire again," Zhang Shunchang said, fanning himself with a fan and laughing.
Xue Tonghua chuckled, "I wonder who was so brave to set fire to his clinic."
Tian Xiangrong laughed, "Wan Yunting has so many enemies, who knows which one it was? Isn't that right, Brother Liu?"
Liu Yuan was a bit distracted and didn't react immediately. Tian Xiangrong and Zhang Shunchang and Xue Tonghua turned to look at him, raising their eyebrows, and asked, "Brother Liu, what's wrong with you today? You seem distracted?"
Liu Yuan finally came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said, "Nothing. Let's all go upstairs for tea and chat."
As the few were about to go in, they saw a car arriving at the entrance of Guisheng Tang. It was Li Yuxiu coming to work at the clinic, which made Tian Xiangrong and Zhang Shunchang scoff. They went up to the tea room on the third floor of Liu Ping Tang, and Xue Tonghua said, "This Li family is really determined to oppose us!"
"Old Master Li is really something, to actually listen to his daughter!" Zhang Shunchang shook his head.
Tian Xiangrong's small eyes gleamed, "My only worry is that the Li family might have sided with Wan Yunting!"
"That can't be right?"
Zhang Shunchang and Xue Tonghua looked surprised, disbelieving that the Li family would side with Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai.
Tian Xiangrong looked at Liu Yuan, who was sitting in front of them deep in thought, and said, "Old Liu, what do you think?"
The slow-to-react Liu Yuan looked up and found the three of them staring intently at him. Xue Tonghua said, "Brother Liu, you've been acting strange these past two days. Did something happen?"
Liu Yuan shook his head and continued to brew tea, "No, it's just that my son at home is disobedient at school, which is causing me distress."
"Ha, so that's what it is."
The three of them laughed upon hearing this, knowing his youngest son was very mischievous and often caused trouble at school.
"Li Tiangui claims to be retiring and not involved in our affairs. Now Li Yuxiu speaks for the Li family, and her actions indeed lean towards Wan Yunting!" Liu Yuan analyzed.
Xue Tonghua and Zhang Shunchang nodded. Tian Xiangrong said, "This is what we're worried about. After all, Li Yuxiu has a high reputation overseas. If she truly stands with Wan Yunting and them, it will be a bit troublesome."
"Yes, Wan Yunting's influence has returned, we need to be careful," Xue Tonghua said.
Zhang Shunchang glanced at him and smiled, "Old Xue, your Xue family shouldn't secretly engage in market monopolization anymore. Ease up a bit, don't anger those people. I heard that a while ago, someone went to the Chinese Medicine Association to seek justice, but luckily Liu Yong stopped them and drove them away."
"So, it's best for everyone to lie low for a while."
"Tsk, can those few growers really make waves?"
Tian Xiangrong was disdainful, waving his hand, "Besides, we have the Gu family behind us, what's there to fear?"
Liu Yuan poured them tea, "Listen to Old Zhang. Everyone should restrain yourselves recently. We haven't heard anything from the Health Commission yet. After Kong Jingguo is transferred and Minister Tan takes over, we'll pull Gu Yuanbai down and let Xiao He take his place. Then the entire China Chinese Medicine Association will belong to our few families."
"At that time, you can do whatever you want, and no one will be able to manage you."
"Yes, Brother Liu is right..."
They all nodded in agreement, drinking tea as a substitute for wine...
At Guisheng Tang, Li Yuxiu saw that not many people were coming to see a doctor, so she went downstairs to Xiu Yuan Tang. She saw Du Hua and Wang Zhuyu tidying up the garbage inside. Everyone greeted her, "Dr. Li, why are you here?"
Li Yuxiu nodded, "Just came to take a look. Is Dr. Wan not here?"
Du Hua shook his head, "He's not here. He told us to tidy up and prepare for the clinic's renovation."
Seeing this, Li Yuxiu said nothing more. After greeting Du Hua, she turned back towards Guisheng Tang. As she walked, she took out her phone and called Wan Yunting, but it showed that his phone was turned off!
This made Li Yuxiu stop at the doorway. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her wise and sharp phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, wondering why Wan Yunting had turned off his phone.
Putting away her phone, she didn't think too much about it and went back into the clinic to continue seeing patients...
At this moment, Wan Yunting was on the military aircraft flying to Mali, Africa. He had just finished lunch and was closing his eyes to rest again.
To conceal his movements, Huang Hongying and Nie Xiaoyu didn't talk to him on the plane. Huang Hongying, Lin Dongxiang, Huang Guoqi, and Long Xingyu were discussing the topic of the Red Devil's contagious virus. Wan Yunting, sitting in the back, woke up and listened to their discussion without speaking...
Now, in the capital, apart from his family and Gu Yuanbai and his group, no one knew that Wan Yunting had left the capital and gone to Africa. Even his cousins from the Ouyang family didn't know. Only Ouyang Xiuxian, who was impersonating Wan Yunting, knew.
He was to appear before the public wearing Wan Yunting's mask every few days during this period, to let everyone know that Wan Yunting was still in the capital.
Although the people of the Heavenly Eye Divine Lord Cult did not dare to openly act against Wan Yunting in the capital, they had also planted spies in the capital to monitor Wan Yunting's every move.
Of course, Wan Yunting had also captured quite a few spies from the Heavenly Eye Divine Lord Cult behind the scenes, handing them over directly to the police for processing...
Last night, the master and disciple, Zi Qing and Lan Xin, had returned to the Wudang Sect. Their senior disciple Xian Yun and the others received Lan Xin's call and learned that Wan Yunting had left the capital, but his destination was unknown.
Now, the various major sects were helpless against Wan Yunting. They originally intended to use Zi Qing to get close to Wan Yunting and obtain the Snow Mountain Sect's martial arts manual.
However, Zi Qing's unique personality meant that she completely ignored this matter. Therefore, during this period, the master and disciple were eating and drinking at the Ouyang residence, doing nothing.
Seeing Zi Qing and the others return, Xian Yun and Qi Xiu were helpless and couldn't do anything about their seventh junior sister.
