Chapter 78: Treasure Ink 1
The early morning sun shone on the rickshaw shed, but Jiang Shiyuan's thoughts were still immersed in the upcoming challenges.
"Miss, we're here!" The driver's voice brought Jiang Shiyuan back to reality.
After paying the taxi fare, Jiang Shiyuan walked quickly into the Sacred Heart Hospital and nodded and greeted the medical staff and patients he met in a friendly manner.
Everyone felt that Dr. Jiang had become more approachable and more humane.
As soon as she opened the door of her independent office, she saw an envelope stuffed under the door. The yellow color of the kraft paper was particularly eye-catching.
"Who stuffed this letter?" Jiang Shiyuan muttered softly.
She bent down and picked up the envelope. It was cool to the touch, and there were no marks on the rough paper.
After quickly closing the door, Jiang Shiyuan carefully opened the envelope.
On the letter, the familiar tiny calligraphy caught the eye.
"Miss Jiang, our boss would like to take a closer look at the pair of white jade tiger talismans you offered last time."
"If you still have the intention to help, please come to Baomozhai tonight at 4 p.m. to have a chat."
At the signature point, a bright red Baomozhai seal is particularly eye-catching.
"White Jade Tiger Talisman...Bao Mo Zhai..."
Jiang Shiyuan immediately understood that the Shanghai Military Control Station had asked him to go to the fixed contact point, Baomozhai, at 5 p.m. tonight to discuss clearing out the Inoue Mansion.
At this moment, the layout of the Inoue Mansion and the guard situation that the original owner had observed when she sneaked in at night flashed quickly in her mind.
"It seems that the operation to eliminate the Japanese spies in the Inoue Mansion must be put on the agenda immediately!"
Jiang Shiyuan muttered to himself, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.
She didn't dare to delay, so she changed into her white coat and put the manila envelope and acupuncture set in her pocket.
In the public restroom, Jiang Shiyuan tore the envelope into pieces, then pretended to go to the toilet, and with a "splash" the scraps of paper were flushed directly into the sewer.
She walked out of the bathroom calmly and began her routine ward rounds for the patients she was treating.
Mrs. Du was going to go through the discharge procedures today, and Jiang Shiyuan hurried to see her off.
Mr. Du was unable to come in person to pick up his mother from the hospital today because he had to deal with the matter of the French Concession Police Station that Jiang Shiyuan reported yesterday.
"Xiaoyuan, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital today. I really can't bear to leave you!" Old Madam Du held Jiang Shiyuan's hand and said reluctantly.
"Grandma, won't you consolidate your training for a few more days?" Jiang Shiyuan asked with concern and a hint of coquettishness.
"Oh no, no, the hospital is not as comfortable as my own home!"
"I can't wait to go back to the Du Mansion and personally make you a delicious meal!"
Old Madam Du patted the back of Jiang Shiyuan's hand lovingly.
"Grandma, please stop working. You need to rest for a while when you get home, and you must continue to take the medicinal recipes."
"Okay, okay, my dear granddaughter, grandma will listen to you!"
Madam Du smiled from ear to ear, "When my body is almost recovered, I will start preparing for the recognition ceremony."
"We must choose an auspicious day so that Xiaoyuan can become the Du family's precious daughter in a grand manner!"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, grandma. Everything will be arranged by grandma and stepfather." Jiang Shiyuan nodded with a smile and said very obediently.
After helping Mrs. Du into the car to go home, Jiang Shiyuan waved goodbye to her and then went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Feng.
"Dr. Jiang, thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have probably been sleeping forever in this life!"
Mr. Feng struggled to get out of bed, but was stopped in time by Jiang Shiyuan.
"Mr. Feng, you still need to rest and rest, don't move around."
As Jiang Shiyuan spoke, he gently pushed Mr. Feng back onto the bed.
"Yes, Old Feng, just listen to Doctor Jiang. She is our family's savior!"
Mrs. Feng echoed from the side, her eyes slightly red.
"Doctor Jiang, we two husband and wife cannot repay you. If you need any help in the future, just ask."
"We will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Mr. Feng held Jiang Shiyuan's wrist tightly and spoke in a firm tone.
"Mr. Feng, Mrs. Feng, you are too polite. This is what I should do as a doctor."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled faintly, but secretly remembered this friendship in his heart.
At this time, Mrs. Feng suddenly asked, "By the way, Dr. Jiang, I heard the old dean mention that you are researching a domestic sulfonamide recently. Is that true?"
"Yes, Mrs. Feng, I believe it will soon be applied to clinical treatment and then mass-produced!"
Jiang Shiyuan nodded with a confident smile on his lips.
"That's great, that's really great!" The Feng couple were very excited, their eyes full of hope.
"This way, my silly brother who has been fighting in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army will have cheap anti-inflammatory drugs to use!"
Mr. Feng also nodded excitedly, "Yes, in the future we will no longer have to be choked by the high price of foreign sulfonamides, and we can save more anti-Japanese fighters!"
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the couple in front of him, who were high-ranking officials of the Nanjing National Government but were concerned about the anti-Japanese fighters on the front line, and his heart was suddenly filled with a sense of responsibility and mission.
She knew that she was carrying the expectations of too many people. She could not let down this era, and even more so, she could not let down those who trusted her!
After giving some further instructions, Jiang Shiyuan left Mr. Feng's VIP ward.
As for the wife of Hongfu Gang leader Wang, her mental state and emotions have become much more stable since Jiang Shiyuan gave her a calming prescription from traditional Chinese medicine combined with ordinary acupuncture techniques.
Mrs. Wang and Gang Leader Wang are becoming more affectionate, and she will be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Shiyuan was busy in the hospital all day, and after get off work he hurried to Baomozhai, which was only two blocks away from Sacred Heart Hospital.
She walked on the bustling street, and the shop signs on both sides stood out in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Looking down at his watch, it was already half past six, and Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but quicken his pace.
She stopped in front of an antique shop. The shop was not big, but it exuded a calm and majestic atmosphere.
Jiang Shiyuan adjusted her royal blue velvet cheongsam and walked in.
The store is filled with antique calligraphy and paintings. A shopkeeper wearing a gray gown and reading glasses is sitting behind the counter, sipping tea leisurely.
"Hello, shopkeeper. I would like to ask if your store has been looking for a pair of white jade tiger talismans from the Ming Dynasty?" Jiang Shiyuan walked to the counter and asked softly.
The shopkeeper slowly raised his head and his eyes stayed on her for a moment. "White jade tiger talisman from the Ming Dynasty? Are you talking about the tiger talisman used by General Qi?"
Jiang Shiyuan calmly took out a white jade tiger talisman wrapped in silk from her pearl handbag.
"Yes, I came here today to ask the owner of your store to help me take a look and see if it is worth selling."
The shopkeeper's eyes paused noticeably when they saw the white jade tiger talisman.
He put down the teacup in his hand, and his tone became more respectful. "So the lady is a distinguished guest. Please come in. Let's talk in the back!"
Jiang Shiyuan followed the shopkeeper through a long and narrow corridor and came to an elegantly decorated inner hall.
A young man in black tights was sitting on one of the mahogany chairs, fiddling with a Luban lock in his hand.
Hearing the noise, his ears moved sharply, and then he raised his head.
It was a baby face that was still childish, but at this moment, his face showed a calmness and sophistication that was inconsistent with his age.
"Sister Shennong, long time no see!" When the young man saw Jiang Shiyuan, his eyes lit up and he greeted her enthusiastically.
Jiang Shiyuan thought of this familiar baby face and remembered this talented sharpshooter codenamed "Houyi" who had once injured Fang Lansheng and Chen Qingyan. He couldn't help but clench the white jade tiger talisman in his hand.
But then, she smiled at him again, "Long time no see, little Hou Yi!"
Hou Yi had already prepared himself for a cold reception, but he was dazzled by Jiang Shiyuan's unusually gentle smile, and was even so frightened that the Lu Ban lock in his hand fell to the ground.
As the saying goes, Shennong’s smile can make life and death unpredictable!
Hou Yi's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but complain, "I haven't provoked Shennong recently. I hope she doesn't go crazy and use me as a target!"
