Killing Intent
"Uncle Chu, I'll be heading to school if there's nothing else?" Lin Yi had said what he needed to, and the rest was up to Pengzhan.
"Alright." Pengzhan nodded. "Don't tell Yao Yao about what happened today- I don't want her to be troubled."
"Don't worry, Uncle Chu- I won't say anything." Lin Yi stood up and prepared to leave.
"Li Fu, send Yi to school." Pengzhan instructed Faubert.
"Alright, Mister Chu." Faubert nodded.
"No need, I'll just get a taxi downstairs." Lin Yi said quickly. He'd planned on going to the pharmacy, and he didn't want Faubert to follow him. There were some things he didn't want others to know.
"That's fine." Pengzhan didn't insist after Lin Yi said so. "I'll leave Yao Yao's safety in your hands before I deal with the company's problems."
"Ha …" Lin Yi waved his hand. "Uncle Chu, my mission has something to do with Miss Chu. Naturally, I won't let anything happen to her before the mission is completed."
Pengzhan nodded, sighing softly. He'd thought that he'd let Lin Yi take advantage of the situation, but it seemed that Lin Yi wasn't too interested in Mengyao. He didn't know what his father was planning, but whatever he said, he'd do as he'd said.
"Li Fu, inform the administrative department- tell them to prepare a meeting room. I'm having a board meeting in the afternoon!" Pengzhan didn't insist when Lin Yi refused to let Faubert see him off because he had something he needed Faubert to arrange.
"Alright, Mister Chu." Faubert nodded before leaving Pengzhan's office. Pengzhan had a secretary, but there were many things he couldn't let his secretary know. Only Faubert, his confidant, knew. So, in many cases, Faubert took on the role of a secretary.
Lin Yi walked out of Pengzhan's building and flagged down a taxi.
"Young man, where are you going?" After getting in the car, the driver pressed the odometer on the meter and asked.
"Sir, do you know where I can buy wholesale Chinese medicine?" Lin Yi wasn't familiar with the geography of Songshan, but some of the older taxi drivers were living maps. They knew everything about the city like the back of their hands.
"Oh, are you talking about Chinese medicine? The ones made from twigs and twigs, or the ones made from twigs?" The driver didn't know what Lin Yi was looking for.
"Ha … …" Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle at the driver's description. In the eyes of normal people, Chinese medicine was more or less the same as sticks of grass. "Loose sticks of grass!"
Lin Yi didn't bother correcting them. The girl wasn't a professional, after all, and it was fine as long as she could understand him.
"If you're talking about wholesale, you'll have to go to Qiaonan Village's Chinese Medicine Wholesale Market." The driver said, "But it's not in the city. It'll take half a day to get there. If you don't want to buy much, you can go to a bigger pharmacy."
Lin Yi gave up on the idea of going to the wholesale market after hearing the driver's words. He didn't need to go there right now, at least. He could buy some at the pharmacy first. "Then help me find a bigger pharmacy."
"That's easy." The driver started the car.
After a few turns, the car stopped in front of a big pharmacy. It seemed that the driver didn't go around in circles. The fare on the meter was still the starting fare.
Lin Yi paid the fare and thanked the driver before walking into the pharmacy.
When he entered the pharmacy, Lin Yi sighed. It seems that medicine is a very profitable industry no matter when. There are so many people buying medicine in the pharmacy during the day. Many common medicine counters are already full of people.
However, Lin Yi wanted to buy Chinese herbal medicine. There were relatively few people buying this kind of thing. He handed the list in his hand to the salesperson. The salesperson gave Lin Yi a receipt and asked him to pay. Lin Yi needed a lot of Chinese medicine. It would take a while to weigh it. Fortunately, there were no other customers. Lin Yi took advantage of the time when the salesperson was weighing and walked around the pharmacy.
"Jinchuang Medicine." A voice caught Lin Yi's attention.
Jinchuang Medicine? Lin Yi was stunned. There is such a medicine?
The so-called Jinchuang Medicine referred to metal objects such as knives. In ancient times, the weapon that hurt people the most should be weapons. Therefore, Jinchuang also referred to weapons, and Chuang meant wounds. Therefore, Jinchuang Medicine referred to medicine that specialized in treating metal injuries such as knife wounds. Its effects were hemostasis, analgesia, and anti-inflammatory.
However, Jinchuang Medicine was just a name in ancient times. There didn't seem to be any medicine called Jinchuang Medicine now, right?
"No, it's sold out." The salesperson answered the person who asked for the medicine with a blank expression.
Lin Yi took a look. The person who asked for the medicine was a girl in black. She was wearing a navy cap on her head. The brim of the cap was very low, and her face couldn't be seen clearly. After getting the reply from the salesperson that the medicine was sold out, the girl didn't say anything. She turned around and left, but her steps were a little unsteady …
Suddenly, Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on the girl's feet. On the ground that the girl walked on, there was a clear trail of blood. Obviously, it flowed down the hem of her pants. However, in this pharmacy with people coming and going, it didn't attract anyone's attention. The blood trail was quickly stepped on by the people walking back and forth.
The reason why Lin Yi paid attention to this girl was because Lin Yi was a little curious about the Jinchuang Medicine she mentioned. Secondly, it was because Lin Yi sensed a trace of the same kind of aura from her – Murderous Aura.
Murderous Aura was a very mysterious thing. Murderous Aura was actually a signal emitted by animals when they attacked each other. This signal needed to be detected by the "sixth sense"!
Someone once did such an experiment. They put a wild cat and a mouse in a box, separated by two thin soundproof boards in the middle. The distance between the two boards wasn't very far. Then, they eliminated the smell, and they couldn't see each other. As a result, the cat seemed to sense something and wanted to pass through the board. It kept scratching the board with its claws, while the mouse curled up on the other side. It could be seen that the cat could sense that the mouse was next door, and the mouse could also sense the cat. But how did the cat and the mouse sense each other?
According to the explanation of scientists, this might be the sixth sense in addition to the five senses of animals. In other words, they didn't use their ears, nose, or eyes to detect each other. Animals could use their sixth sense to sense a signal emitted by their natural enemies or other animals that wanted to attack them. This signal could be interpreted as "Murderous Aura".
