  Wang Yao found out from the two policemen that the dead person was a famous entrepreneur. He had a big impact in the province. His death had even shocked some senior officers in the local government. They wanted the cause of death to be thoroughly investigated.

  “Can I ask what was the cause of death?” asked Wang Yao.

  “At this stage we suspect that he was poisoned,” said one of the policemen.

  “Poisoned?” said Wang Yao with surprise.

  It was murder.

  If that was the cause of death, Wang Yao would be one of the suspects. After all, Mr. Luo came to see him twice before he had died.

  It looked like Wang Yao was in trouble.

  One of his patients had died suspiciously.

  Although Wang Yao hadn’t done anything wrong, he didn’t know what he would face over the course of the investigation.

  “Well, let’s call it a day. We hope you stay in the village in the next few days. We may have more questions to ask you. Thank you for your cooperation.” The two policemen were very polite.

  “Sure,” said Wang Yao.

  After the two policemen had left, he started to think about Mr. Luo.

  When Mr. Luo came to see Wang Yao the first time, he just had a headache, which was caused by cold toxins. When he came to see Wang Yao the second time, he had been poisoned. Probably someone poisoned him, and Wang Yao had made him aware of it. However, Wang Yao didn’t expect that he was dead three days later. Mr. Luo had probably been poisoned to death.

  “He went to see a doctor?” Meanwhile, the policemen also questioned Mr. Luo’s secretary.

  “Yes, for a headache initially, then a stomach ache,” said the secretary.

  “What treatment did he receive?” asked the policeman.

  “Massage for headache, then the second time the doctor gave him a bowl of decoction to take,” said the secretary.

  He was being interviewed by the policemen.

  “Decoction?” asked the policeman.

  “Yes,” said the secretary.

  “What was the result of the treatment?” asked the policeman.

  “Mr. Luo said he no longer felt pain after taking the decoction. He felt much better,” said the secretary.

  The policeman questioned the secretary in details. He wrote down everything the secretary said.

  Luo Jiadong’s family came to the People’s Hospital in Haiqu immediately after they had received the news.

  He was the director of Nuoda Group. He controlled nearly ten billion yuan of assets. Since he had died, the distribution of his assets would be a big problem.

  “What was the cause of death?” asked Luo Jiadong’s wife.

  “We are still investigating. We have to do an autopsy,” said a policeman.

  “Autopsy? No, I will not allow it,” said Luo Jiadong’s wife.

  She was against autopsy.

  That would make it more difficult for the policemen to find out the cause of death.

  Wang Yao drove his mother back to the hospital in the town center in the afternoon because Zhang Xiuying was concerned about her parents.

  “Why are you concerned?” Wang Yao just didn’t want his mother to be too tired.

  “Your grandparents are getting old, especially since your grandma’s got lower back pain. You know your grandma, she can’t just sit tight. Go and see if your uncle’s wife needs any help,” said Zhang Xiuying.

  Wang Yao didn’t say anything. His mother was a kind person who always offered help to people, especially to her family members.

  After they had arrived at the hospital, Zhang Xiuying spent the whole afternoon in the hospital.

  “I’ll stay at your sister’s place overnight. Don’t worry about me,” said Zhang Xiuying.

  “Okay, I’m leaving,” said Wang Yao.

  Wang Yao drove back to the village.

  “When will your son come back?” asked a young man at Wang Yao’s house.

  “I don’t know,” said Wang Fenghua.

  “Can’t you call him?” asked the young man.

  “You can wait for a while, he should be home soon,” said Wang Fenghua.

  “Call him now! Do you know that your son killed someone?!” shouted the young man.

  “What are you talking about?!” said Wang Fenghua

  What?

  Wang Yao heard people arguing in his house as soon as he got out of the car.

  “Who is there?”


  He sped up to walk into the courtyard. Then he saw his father was surrounded by several strangers. His father was very upset.

  Wang Yao knew his father, who was not a talkative person.

  “What are you guys doing here?” said Wang Yao sternly.

  He was angry. It was not going to be pretty.

  “Who are you?” asked the young man.

  “He is the person who gave the decoction to Mr. Luo,” said the middle-aged man, Mr. Luo’s secretary.

  “You?!” The young man lifted his eyebrows. “So you are the one who killed my dad!”


  “Get out of here, all of you,” said Wang Yao coldly.

  “What? Say it again!” The young man was furious. He stiffened his neck. He didn’t expect a villager could be so rude to him.

  “Get out!” repeated Wang Yao.

  “Ouch!”


  The young man suddenly covered his ears and fell onto the ground. He looked in pain.

  What is going on?!

  Everyone else in the courtyard was bewildered.

  They looked at the young man who was covering his ears and looked in pain.

  “Wei, what happened to you?” asked Luo Jiadong’s secretary.

  The young man squatting on the ground felt a humming sound in his ears. His headache was so bad that it felt like his head was going to split. A soft phrase “get out” was like thunder to him.

  He had squatted on the ground for ten minutes before he pulled himself back together. His face was so pale. After he got up, he found that he couldn’t hear anything. He could only see his sister’s lips moving, but he couldn’t hear her words.

  He had become deaf.

  “What the hell did you do to me!?” He couldn’t hear the sound, but could still talk. So he just shouted.

  “Get out!” repeated Wang Yao coldly.

  The young man held his head and squatted on the ground again.

  He couldn’t hear anything, but his headache was still there.

  “Wei,” said a young woman standing next to him.

  “Sis, let’s go!” said Wei, who looked at Wang Yao in fear.

  He didn’t know what Wang Yao had done to make him turn deaf. He was terrified.

  So the three of them left in a hurry, but didn’t forget to threaten Wang Yao.

  “You wait! We’ll come back!”


  “Dad, are you alright?” Wang Yao only cared about his father.

  “Nothing. They said you killed someone. What happened?” asked Wang Fenghua after he lit up a cigarette. He knew his son, and knew he would never hurt anyone without a good reason.

  “Their father has died. Before he passed, he came to see me twice,” said Wang Yao.

  “Does his death have anything to do with you?” asked Wang Fenghua.

  “Of course not. Their father was poisoned to death. He was a very rich guy,” said Wang Yao.

  “I see. It’s good you didn’t kill him,” said Wang Fenghua.

  “Don’t be upset. I’ll make you a cup of tea,” said Wang Yao.

  He went into the house to make his father a cup of green tea. He also told his father that his mother would stay in town for a few days.

  “That’s fine with me. Is your uncle’s wife okay?” asked Wang Fenghua.

  “She’s fine,” said Wang Yao.

  “That’s good,” said Wang Fenghua.

  Meanwhile, Wei, his sister and Luo Jiadong’s secretary went to the People’s Hospital in Haiqu.

  “Doctor, can you take a look at him?” asked Wei’s sister.

  “His eardrums are broken,” said the doctor.

  “His eardrums are broken? Can you fix them?” asked Wei’s sister.

  “They are very hard to fix,” said the doctor.

  “Will he become deaf?” asked Wei’s sister.

  “Hmmm, his hearing would definitely damaged, but it could be compensated by an external device,” said the doctor.

  Luo Xiuxiu didn’t expect thing to turn out like this. She and her brother had gone to Wang Yao’s clinic initially to look for Wang Yao, who was not there. Therefore, they asked their father’s secretary to take them to Wang Yao’s house. Her brother was quite rude, but she didn’t expect him to end up deaf.

  Wei, what did he do to you?

  Luo Xiuxiu wrote her question on a piece of paper to show her brother.

  Her brother’s answer really shocked her.

  He told his sister that he became deaf because Wang Yao asked him to get out. This was just unbelievable. What was more weird was that she didn’t even hear what Wang Yao said. She didn’t think Wang Yao was very loud, definitely not loud enough to damage one’s hearing.

  It was not over yet. The results of CT scan were more shocking. Her brother had a concussion, moderate level. He needed to rest in bed, better to stay in the hospital for a while.

  “How did he get a concussion?” wondered Luo Xiuxiu.

  They still had no idea of the cause of death of their father. Now, her brother’s hearing had been damaged, and he needed to be hospitalized.

  “Mom!” Luo Xiuxiu was happy to see her mother.

  “What happened?!” asked Luo Jiadong’s wife who came to the hospital after her daughter had called her.

  “Well……” Luo Xiuxiu told her mother the whole thing.

  “Nonsense!” said Luo Jiadong’s wife, a middle-aged woman. She looked quite young. “What is his name?”


  “Wang Yao,” said Luo Xiuxiu.

  “Wang Yao?” Luo Jiadong’s wife .

  “Stay with your brother here. Don’t cause anymore trouble,” said Luo Jiadong’s wife.

  “Okay,” said Luo Xiuxiu.

  After his father had settled in, Wang Yao started to think of how to minimize the impact of his patients on his parents. He didn’t want his parents’ life to be affected by what he was doing. He didn’t want any of his patients to come to his house for any reasons.

  Therefore he decided to make a rule.

  All of his patients and their significant others were henceforth prohibited from visiting his parents’ house; if they broke that rule, he would not see them.

  Then he wrote the rule down and stuck it on the wall of his clinic.
