Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself Chapter 317 Discharged

How many people of today would be aware of the stories that had taken place in the ancient imperial city?

Time never stops. Nobody knew what this place would become in another 300 to 500 years.

The future was in darkness. People of the current lifetime were slowly advancing forward in the dark with a lantern, but the lantern was bound to run out of fuel.

The lives of this lifetime would become the past, but darkness was eternal.

For a split second when the God's Will electric motorbike drove past the imperial city gates, Ning Tao was tempted to go in to take a look while in the state of deficient Ancestor-seeking Elixir allergy and activate the ability to capture traces of the people and their voices that had been lost in time. Even if he did not have a motive, wouldn't it be interesting to see the people of the royal palace and central government and listen to their voices?

However, the God's Will electric motorbike did not stop. It followed the endless traffic and kept traveling further.

Arriving at the Institute of Biology, the armed guards at the entrance no longer asked for Ning Tao's identity. They took him right away to the underground research center.

There were many people standing outside the glass walls of the quarantine room. Zhang Zeshan and Jia Yinhong were among the crowd as well. Many swarmed over as soon as Ning Tao appeared.

“Doctor Ning, you're indeed an incredibly skillful miracle doctor. After taking your prescription, Comrade Jiang Hao's condition improved significantly.” Zhang Zeshan spoke after a simple greeting.

Ning Tao said, “She will be fully recovered after this round of treatment. I wish for her to no longer be part of this experiment after I'm done treating her.”

Zhang Zeshan coughed. “Let's leave this question until after Comrade Jiang Hao has been cured. Doctor Ning, when will you be entering?”

Ning Tao said, “I'm ready now.”

Zhang Zeshan was clearly unwilling to let Jiang Hao quit the ancestor-seeking project, but Ning Tao could not be bothered to discuss it with him. He accepted the disinfectant procedure, then entered the quarantine room after putting on protective clothing.

Outside the quarantine room, a huge group of researchers and medical staff were focused on Ning Tao, unwilling to miss out on any detail.

Zhang Zeshan said to Jia Yinhong, “Have we gotten the primary analysis of Doctor Ning's prescription?”

Jia Yinhong said, “It is out. Relevant authorities are still working overtime to write the analysis report. It will be sent to your office later on.”

Zhang Zeshan said anxiously, “What did they say about it? I want to hear your views.”

Jia Yinhong said, “The analysts said that there are over 10 unknown elements in Doctor Ning's prescription. It also possesses an unknown power. I'm also unsure what is going on exactly, and can only know after seeing the report.”

Zhang Zeshan revealed a surprised look. “What does having over 10 unknown elements mean?”

As Jia Yinhong looked at Zhang Zeshan, his voice grew heavy. “It means… these are elements that do not exist on the periodic table.”

Zhang Zeshan was shocked. Since the development of human civilization, there were only about 100 elements that had been fully understood. Yet, Ning Tao's pill had contained over 10 unknown elements. Wasn't it too spooky!

Inside the quarantine room, Ning Tao slowly walked to the bedside. Before he could speak or do anything, Jiang Hao, who was lying in bed, had opened her eyes. Just at the moment she opened her eyes, a green light flashed through her jet black eyes.

Ning Tao reached out to grab Jiang Hao's hand, charging a shred of special spiritual power into her body. He was stabilizing her, just in case something in her genes was accidentally awakened, which would turn this into a live broadcast.

Jiang Hao revealed a smile. “You're here.”

Ning Tao nodded, then said, “It's the silver needle treatment this time. After this treatment, you can leave this place.”

Those words were not actually directed at Jiang Hao, but rather, to the people outside.

“Then please treat me. After I'm recovered, I'll follow you home and we'll have lunch made by Mom,” Jiang Hao said.

Such words resembled the words a wife would say to her husband.

Ning Tao opened the small medicine chest, taking a few Sacred Needles out and applying them on Jiang Hao.

Actually, it was all just a show. After the treatment in the clinic, Jiang Hao's “demon disease” had already been cured. She had turned from a sickly demon into a healthy demon. If it were not for the Sky Clinic's treatment, Lin Qinghua, who had the same experience, would have died, and so would she. Liang Keming's current situation was unknown. But if Nicholas Conway had no way of curing his “demon disease”, he would die as well. Thus, it was hard to predict if Liang Keming was still alive.

It was against the ways of Heaven for a human to become a demon, so it was necessary to first go through a trial. And that was the demon disease.

Jiang Hao played along with Ning Tao. Her pair of jet black eyes stared intently at Ning Tao, who was applying the needles on her. They were filled with warmth and gratitude, as well as affection.

Yet the people outside the glass door could not tell whether it was real or fake. Every one of them had their eyes fixed on Ning Tao as he applied the needles.

A few minutes later, Ning Tao took out the needles on Jiang Hao, and smiled as he said, “All right, you can get out of bed and leave now.” He held the Blade of the Solar Eclipse up as he spoke, pretending to cut off the bandage tying Jiang Hao down.

“What is he doing?” Zhang Zeshan was instantly flustered. He took up the communicator, saying, “Stop him!”

Two armed guards in protective clothing charged in immediately.

At that moment, Jiang Hao had already gotten off the bed and Ning Tao had already put the Blade of the Solar Eclipse and Sacred Needles back into the small medicine chest, all packed up.

The two armed guards who charged into the quarantine room were holding guns in their hands, but they seemed to be unsure if they should hold their guns up. They were at a loss of what to do as they watched Jiang Hao getting out of the bed.

Ning Tao took Jiang Hao's hand and walked toward the safety door.

The two armed guards were still clueless about what to do. It was precisely because Jiang Hao used to be the team lead of security, and was their direct superior. As people who did not know what was going on, how could they dare to point their guns at their superior?

Ning Tao said, “Excuse me, please don't block the way.”

The two armed guards indeed gave way but it was because of Jiang Hao. His words held no weight to them.

Zhang Zeshan stopped them at the door. There was slight anger in his tone. “Doctor Ning, what are you doing? Who gave you the right to do this!”

Ning Tao stayed silent.

Jiang Hao said, “I did. If I could give you the permission to tie me up then I can also give Tao the permission to release me.”

“Comrade Jiang Hao!” Zhang Zeshan reminded her with a solemn tone, “Don't forget that you've signed the volunteer's agreement. The project of ancestor-seeking has not ended yet, so you cannot leave this quarantine room! You must cooperate with our work unconditionally!”

Jiang Hao said coolly, “Oh really? How come I do not remember signing any volunteer's agreement?”

“You…” Zhang Zeshan was silenced in anger.

Ning Tao said, “Hao, then you're in the wrong. Why didn't you tell me you've signed such a volunteer's agreement? If you really did sign it then I can't take you home for lunch.”

Jiang Hao said, “I really did not sign it. I would definitely remember if I did.”

Zhang Zeshan was so angry that he laughed. “Comrade Jiang Hao, you've made a vow. What are you trying to do now? Being unreasonable? I'll go get the volunteer's agreement you've signed and show it to you right away!”

Ning Tao said, “Chief Zhang, go get it. If she has really signed it, then I will make her lie back in bed again.”

“Humph! I don't need your reminder!” Zhang Zeshan stomped out toward his office in anger.

The group of researchers and medical staff stared at Ning Tao and Jiang Hao, starting a commotion among themselves. Some were discussing Ning Tao's acupuncture and medicine, while others were commenting on Jiang Hao's sudden recovery.

Ning Tao and Jiang Hao were only listening, and ignored the people who came to ask them questions.

Zhang Zeshan returned very soon, and immediately pointed his fingers at Ning Tao. He yelled angrily, “It's you! It must be you!”

Ning Tao's face was filled with puzzlement. “Chief Zhang, what is me? What do you mean?”

Zhang Zeshan said furiously, “You stole the volunteer's agreement!”

Ning Tao shrugged. “Are you joking? Even an ant can't enter a place like this. How could I have stolen the volunteer's agreement?”

“Arrest him!” Zhang Zeshan decidedly commanded, completely ignoring Ning Tao's explanation.

Two armed guards approached Ning Tao.

Jiang Hao shouted, “Attention!”

The armed guards instinctively stood at attention.

Jiang Hao said, “Who gave you the right to unreasonably arrest people? I'm still here, yet you already dare to do whatever you like!”

Zhang Zeshan reprimanded her, “Comrade Jiang Hao, you need to consider the consequences!”

Jiang Hao was no longer polite, saying sternly, “I think you're the one who should be considering the consequences. You said that I've signed the volunteer's agreement but could not produce it. My boyfriend Ning Tao has already cured me, but you still intend to ground him. Who do you think you are? You are now even slandering my boyfriend in my presence for stealing a non-existent volunteer's agreement. If you had any proof at all, then show it. I wouldn't need you; I would arrest him personally! If you can't produce proof, then I can sue you for abuse of authority!”

Zhang Zeshan froze on the spot. He was very sure that the volunteer's agreement was stolen, and the most likely suspect was Ning Tao, because even Ning Tao's copy had been stolen. However, he could not produce any proof and could not figure out how Ning Tao had stolen the two documents. If he continued stopping them, he would indeed be abusing his authority. Moreover, if this had been blown out of proportion, getting Ning Tao to admit to his “crime” would be a question, and it would also be embarrassing. How many people would end up doubting his capability?

“Tao, let's go home for lunch.” Jiang Hao held onto Ning Tao's elbow.

“Okay, let's go home for lunch.” Ning Tao smiled and headed toward the lift with Jiang Hao.

Zhang Zeshan watched Jiang Hao and Ning Tao walking side by side, and said after freezing for a moment, “Comrade Jiang Hao and Doctor Ning, this is not over.”

Ning Tao turned back to glance at Zhang Zeshan. “I know. Thank you for the reminder. I will remind you as well. The difference between good and evil is only in a single thought. You're very good right now, so you must treasure it. Don't deviate from the right path. If not, you'll receive retribution.”

Zhang Zeshan's lips moved, seemingly wanting to say something, but he did not.

Returning back to the ground, Jiang Hao walked under the sunlight in excitement. Unafraid of the dazzling sunlight, she looked up into the sun in the sky.

Ning Tao pushed the God's Will electric motorbike to her side. “Come, get on, let's go home.”

Only then did Jiang Hao look away from the sky and climb onto the God's Will electric motorbike. She put her arms around Ning Tao's waist, speaking into Ning Tao's ears. “Don't you think I've forgotten. I want to see Qing Zhui.”

Ning Tao: “…”

What was destined to come would come.
