Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao's phone was lying on the bedside table and it rang in the afternoon.

When Chen Ming came back from the washroom, he heard it ringing, so he quickly went over. He hesitated briefly before picking up the phone.

His hands froze instantly when he saw Min Yu's name on the caller ID. He hesitated whether to answer the phone or not. He raised his head to glance at the young woman lying on the hospital bed before pressing the answer button.

If Min Yu wanted to find someone, it was as easy as pie.

After answering the phone, he gave the hospital address to Min Yu.

Min Yu arrived at the hospital entrance roughly 20 minutes later.

Chen Ming usually had a powerful aura, but it disappeared when he saw Min Yu. He nodded and greeted him. "Hello, Young Master Min."

Min Yu nodded politely. When he walked up to the bed and saw Huo Yao lying on it, looking as white as the sheets, he frowned deeply. "Has she been unconscious all this time? What's wrong with her?"

Chen Ming lowered his head without explaining in detail. "The hospital president said she overexerted herself and will probably wake up after resting for a couple of days."

What did he mean by probably?

Min Yu narrowed his eyes after hearing this. He pulled up a chair and sat down beside Huo Yao. After quietly looking at her for some time, he reached his hand out to hold her palm. There was an IV on her arm.

Her hand felt cold. Even after holding it for some time, it was colder than normal.

Min Yu paused briefly before he stood up to touch her forehead and checked her temperature. He turned to look at Chen Ming. "Why is her temperature lower than normal?"

Chen Ming went quiet for a minute. When he learned that Miss Huo's temperature was lower than normal from the nurse this morning, he had asked the hospital president the same question. "The hospital president said it was normal."

Min Yu stopped harping on the subject. He pulled his hand back and sat back down on the chair, but the frown on his face remained.

After a day had passed, Huo Yao still remained unconscious. She was no different from the previous day. Her face was pale and her temperature was still lower than normal.

On the third day, the hospital president gave them the same answer when they asked about Huo Yao.

Even though she was on IV, her temperature was unusually low and it was completely abnormal.

Huo Yulin was lying in the neighboring hospital ward and remained unconscious, but his stats looked normal.

Min Yu did not keep waiting around without doing anything. Instead, he told Zhuo Yun to get Chairman Wang from the Apothecaries' Association to come over and examine the patient.

When Chairman Wang got to the hospital ward, he took Huo Yao's pulse. After checking her, he raised his head and looked at Min Yu. He frowned and said, "Her pulse is erratic, but it's not very serious. I just don't understand why her temperature is lower than normal."

Body temperature was usually between 36 to 37 degrees and even people with lower body temperatures would not go lower than 34 to 35 degrees. However, the patient's body temperature was lower than 30 degrees. Chairman Wang could not wrap his mind around it. He had never seen this condition before.

"Have you never seen this either?" asked Min Yu solemnly.

Chairman Wang smiled sadly as he shook his head. He was already physically and mentally exhausted handling association affairs. He was powerless about Huo Yao's condition and could not help feeling sad that he could not help.

Min Yu looked at the hospital bed before he asked. "What about medication from the Shangguan clan? Would that help?"

Chairman Wang suddenly recalled the medicine which Min Yu had asked him to check for authenticity. The medicine was made using an ancient technique, so it had incredible effects.

"Didn't the medicine get stolen from the auction hall?" asked Chairman Wang.

He had told his assistant to auction it, but the medicine ended up being stolen during the event.

This was no secret in the Chinese medicine circle.

When Min Yu suddenly brought it up, Chairman Wang instantly caught onto his drift. "Do you still have the medicine?"
