Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Ding~linglingling~~~"

The sudden ring of a phone interrupted Minister Guo's slow walk down the stairs.

He trotted to the study and answered the phone, his voice carrying a hint of urgency: "How is it? Is there any news about the Blood Lotus?"

Jiang Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of fatigue: "I'm sorry, Minister, I have searched all the traditional Chinese medicine families for the blood lotus, but I can't find it."

It turned out that after Xu Changping left in the morning, Minister Guo, in order to be on the safe side, instructed another subordinate, in addition to Xiao Zhang, to go to various major traditional Chinese medicine families to inquire about the news of the "Blood Lotus".

It’s a pity that the other party, like Xiao Zhang, returned empty-handed.

Minister Guo frowned, with a hint of disappointment in his voice: "I see, you've been busy all day, you should go to bed early too."

After hanging up the phone, Minister Guo leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingers. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he picked up the phone as if he had made some important decision.

The call was picked up quickly shortly after it was connected.

In the empty study, Minister Guo had a respectful look on his face. He bent his body slightly, put the receiver close to his ear, and said to the woman on the other end of the phone in a very polite tone: "Hello, hello, please help convey that I am Guo Qi."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "hmm" from the other end, and then there was no movement. After a while, a rustling sound came from the microphone again.

Soon, a slightly old but full-bodied voice came over: "Xiao Guo! What's the matter with you calling me so late at night?"

When Minister Guo heard this familiar voice, his eyes moved slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath, and then said slowly in an extremely earnest and sincere tone: "Old leader, I'm really sorry to trouble you so late at night."

After a pause, he continued, "It's like this. My daughter has been very ill these past few days. I have no other choice but to ask you for help. Can you lend me your health doctor?"

The person on the other end of the phone obviously did not expect Minister Guo to make such a request. He responded without hesitation: "Oh, I thought it was a big deal. I will ask Mr. Zhang to come over tomorrow morning. If you need any medicine, just pay from my account."

Hearing the words from the other side, Minister Guo's heart instantly surged with a strong sense of gratitude. He calmed down a little, then smiled and responded: "This is too much trouble for the old leader. I won't disturb you any more at this late hour. You should go to bed early. I will come to see you another day."

A hearty and generous laugh came from the other end of the phone, and the man replied: "Haha, don't forget to bring me two more bottles of good wine when you come to see me, otherwise I won't let you in."

Minister Guo quickly responded, "That's a must, don't worry, leader! As long as it's the wine you like to drink, I promise to bring you enough and good quality!"

At this time, the other party's kind words came out again on the phone: "Okay, okay, it's so late and I should rest. Don't get too angry. Let Elder Zhang take a good look at the child tomorrow. I believe that with Elder Zhang's medical skills, the child will be fine."

Director Guo nodded with a big smile on his face, saying, "Hey, hey, I'm really sorry for the trouble you caused me! I feel much more at ease after hearing your words."

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Minister Guo heard the other side hang up the phone, then he slowly put the receiver back to its original position, and he seemed to be relieved a lot.

If Mr. Zhang comes tomorrow, whether he prescribes other prescriptions or brings any information about the rare medicinal ingredient "Blood Lotus", it will undoubtedly solve his biggest worry.

However, if all these efforts ultimately failed to work, then he would probably have no choice but to agree to let Xu Changping use other methods to treat his daughter.

Although Xu Changping did not say it explicitly, Minister Guo knew it clearly in his mind and knew that those so-called other means would definitely have some unsatisfactory aspects.

Otherwise, according to Xu Changping's usual style of doing things, he would never ask him to take the lead in using his own connections to search for such rare and precious medicinal materials.

Just as Minister Guo was absorbed in thinking about this difficult problem, the phone at his side suddenly rang.

He reached out his hand quickly as if by reflex, grabbed the microphone and put it to his ear, and said in a serious voice: "Hello, I am Guo Qi."

A very young voice came from the other end of the phone, and the other party said respectfully: "Minister, I am Li Boyang, and I have completed all the tasks you assigned to me!"

It turned out that as early as early morning this morning, Minister Guo not only instructed his subordinates to go to various major Chinese medicine families to search for the whereabouts of the rare medicinal material "Blood Lotus", but also sent another subordinate to conduct an in-depth and detailed investigation of all men with the surname Wang in their office building.

"Minister, there are a total of ..." Li Baiyang hadn't finished speaking when Minister Guo interrupted him and said, "Okay, come over with the information and tell me in person."

At that time, all calls were monitored by someone. Minister Guo didn't want his private investigation of someone to be leaked, so he immediately stopped Li Baiyang from speaking.

"Yes, Minister." Li Baiyang's report was interrupted, but he was not angry. He hung up the phone immediately after agreeing and rushed to Guo's house with the information.

Soon, Li Baiyang knocked on the door of the Guo family. Seeing Minister Guo opening the door in person, he was a little overwhelmed: "Minister, why are you the one opening the door?"

"What? I can't open the door?" Minister Guo glared at Li Baiyang unhappily and turned back into the house.

If this guy wasn't the son of his comrade-in-arms and was not quite capable of doing things, he would never keep him around because he was too talkative.

Li Boyang changed his shoes while flattering, "No, I'm just a little flattered."

"Well, don't be flattered. Here is the information." Minister Guo did not give him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and said directly.

"They are all here. There are eight of them in total. Please take a look." As he said that, Li Baiyang took out a stack of information from his briefcase and handed it over.

After looking through the information in his hand, Minister Guo fell into deep thought. He said to himself unconsciously, "What kind of person is this? Xiao Hui has only met him a few times. How can she call him Uncle Wang?"
