Lin Xiao Tian raced all the way, finally arriving at the town an hour later.
However, the town was neither large nor small, and Lin Xiao Tian didn't know where Li De Ping lived.
But Lin Xiao Tian knew Zhang De Biao and Sister Hong.
The two were not severely punished for reporting Cao Yun Tian. Zhang De Biao had to stay for a few years due to his involvement in some activities, and his previous business was now controlled by Sister Hong.
Lin Xiao Tian had contacted Sister Hong long ago by phone, and thankfully, he was able to wake her up.
Upon learning of Lin Xiao Tian's intentions, Sister Hong also sent people to find Li De Ping's residence.
The town was usually very peaceful, and a new resident could attract a lot of attention. Sister Hong's people quickly found Li De Ping's home.
However, when they found Li De Ping, they discovered he had already been murdered.
Li De Ping's lips were black, clearly poisoned. The conditions at the town's health center were poor, and they didn't know what poison Li De Ping had ingested, leaving them helpless.
When Lin Xiao Tian was halfway to his destination, Sister Hong had already notified him that Li De Ping was in critical condition and had little hope of survival.
But Lin Xiao Tian told Sister Hong not to give up and to wait for him. While rushing, Lin Xiao Tian also provided guidance to the doctors at the health center.
By the time Lin Xiao Tian arrived at the town, Li De Ping had already stopped breathing.
Sister Hong's people had been waiting for Lin Xiao Tian at the town entrance for a long time. When they saw Lin Xiao Tian descend from the mountain, everyone looked on in disbelief.
"Take me to the health center," Lin Xiao Tian said to the person who met him.
Without time for astonishment, they took Lin Xiao Tian to the health center on their motorcycles.
When Lin Xiao Tian arrived at the health center, Li De Ping had completely stopped breathing.
"I'm very sorry, we did our best..." The doctor at the health center, seeing Lin Xiao Tian's urgency, mistook him for a family member and rushed to explain.
But his words were cut short by Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian bypassed the doctor and went directly to Li De Ping.
Li De Ping's breathing had ceased, and his heart had stopped beating. Medically speaking, he was dead.
"This family member, please calm down..."
Lin Xiao Tian ignored him, took out the golden needles he carried, and inserted them into Li De Ping's body.
The doctors present were astonished by Lin Xiao Tian's actions.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm a doctor. Don't disturb me now," Lin Xiao Tian replied calmly.
"But he's already... dead," the health center doctor explained.
Lin Xiao Tian didn't answer and continued his work.
A nurse, seeing Lin Xiao Tian pricking Li De Ping's body, immediately stepped forward to stop him.
According to the health center's regulations, Li De Ping was still under their care, and any incidents would be the hospital's responsibility.
Li De Ping was clearly beyond saving. If he were found with so many needles inserted into him, it could easily lead to trouble. Medical disputes were too severe nowadays.
While others didn't understand Lin Xiao Tian, Sister Hong was well aware of his skills. As a renowned doctor in Jiang City, Lin Xiao Tian had no failed cases to date.
"This is Doctor Lin from the Guoyiguan. He can save the patient, please give him some time," Sister Hong said, standing in front of the nurse.
"But the person is already dead. What use is a doctor from Guoyiguan?" the nurse retorted.
However, Sister Hong's presence was imposing, and with her bodyguards behind her, the nurse dared not step forward for the moment.
As the two sides were at a standoff, there was movement by the sickbed.
Gasping sounds were heard. Li De Ping actually woke up.
"It hurts!"
"It hurts so much!"
Li De Ping moaned.
"Endure it! Li De Ping, if you want to live, calm down!" Lin Xiao Tian stared into Li De Ping's eyes.
Li De Ping was in agony, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't want to die. Lin Xiao Tian's words gave him a glimmer of hope.
Lin Xiao Tian took a pill from his pocket and placed it into Li De Ping's mouth.
"Swallow it!" Lin Xiao Tian said.
Li De Ping, tears flowing, chewed the pill.
"This is a detoxification pill. It's the only thing that can save you now, but you'll have to bear with it for a while. Li De Ping, I can't give you anesthesia right now, or you won't wake up. If you want to live, you have to endure."
Li De Ping grunted several times, desperately swallowing the pill.
The medical staff from the health center watching were stunned.
This person was clearly dead moments ago, and now he could make sounds?
Who was this doctor from Guoyiguan?
Although Sister Hong knew Lin Xiao Tian's abilities, she couldn't help but be amazed by what she witnessed.
Resurrection!
She thought such things only existed in movies, but now she saw it in reality.
Time ticked by, and soon, Li De Ping's condition had clearly improved.
Lin Xiao Tian saw that the purple tint on Li De Ping's lips had faded, indicating the detoxification pill was working.
"The detoxification pill can only slow down the venom's progression. You'll need a period of rest afterwards. I'll prescribe some medicine, and you should be fine."
"Xiao Tian, I truly... I don't know what to say," Li De Ping sighed.
"What happened? How did you get poisoned?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
Li De Ping glanced at the people present.
Lin Xiao Tian immediately understood and asked them to leave.
"Sister Hong, thank you for your trouble this time," Lin Xiao Tian said to Sister Hong.
"You're welcome," Sister Hong smiled slightly.
After everyone left, Lin Xiao Tian looked at Li De Ping again.
"Can you tell me now?"
Li De Ping nodded, a look of helplessness flashing across his face.
"Xiao Tian, I'm sorry. I deserve to die!"
These words came from the bottom of Li De Ping's heart.
He had just experienced death. If Lin Xiao Tian hadn't come, he would no longer be in this world.
Lin Xiao Tian was his savior, and yet he had been plotting against Lin Xiao Tian. Li De Ping was a bit greedy, but he wasn't a scoundrel. He had his principles and knew how to repay a kindness!
"Alas! It's my own fault."
"If I hadn't gotten involved with those people, this wouldn't have happened to me today."
"Who were those people?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"Xiao Tian, you have to be careful! Someone has been watching you all along. They've been watching you since a very, very long time ago," Li De Ping said earnestly.
Lin Xiao Tian frowned. "A very long time ago?"
