Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 108 - 106: The World’s Strangest Poison

"So you’re a doctor, huh? I would have never guessed." Sitting in the car, Song Qingyu was also experiencing, for the first time, what it felt like to be taken care of by a man. This meticulous care, this assertive tone that she found herself unable to refuse, his broad chest, and those tender, concerned eyes—all made her heart tremble. All these traits perfectly aligned with the image of the Prince Charming she had envisioned. Frankly, she felt an indescribable emotion towards Tangyu at this moment—was it gratitude or affection?

This was the third time now—in less than half a month, she had been saved by the same man three times, and each time was more dangerous than the last. This time, she had almost lost her life. Song Qingyu didn’t know how to begin expressing her gratitude towards Tangyu; being saved once was enough for her to be grateful for a lifetime, but to be saved three times—she feared a lifetime of gratitude wouldn’t suffice.

Deep down, every woman harbors a desire to be saved by a hero, to be cherished, to have someone step up in times of danger with a commanding presence. Even the strongest women have their vulnerabilities. Security is something all women value highly, regardless of their nature.

Why has the tale of the hero saving the beauty been passed down through thousands of years, immortalized in epic stories that stir the soul? It’s because such stories touch people’s hearts the most. It’s often said that a hero is tested by his ability to win over a beauty, but have you ever considered that the beauty is also a challenge for the hero?

Love, as they say, is not absolute but relative.

Normally, Song Qingyu just saw Tangyu as a somewhat frivolous young man, but in times of danger, she truly saw how towering and secure his presence was. His every action, even a single glance, could warm the depths of one’s heart.

Such a man is capable of capturing a woman’s heart.

Love at first sight does exist, but more often, love transforms from the myriad little touches of warmth and emotion experienced over time.

Looking at Tangyu’s comforting face, Song Qingyu’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift far away—

As Tangyu drove, he turned his head to glance at Song Qingyu and noticed her gazing intently at him, her eyes brimming with deep affection. Tangyu couldn’t help but smile, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the beautiful Miss Song has fallen for me? It seems I need to put in more effort."

Song Qingyu soon came back to her senses and noticed Tangyu’s gaze, her face involuntarily flushed as she turned her head away. This shy demeanor, indescribably charming, was the first time Tangyu had seen Song Qingyu shy, and it was quite amusing.

"Hehe, does Captain Song think I’m too young to look like a doctor?" Tangyu laughed.

Song Qingyu shook her head and said, "It’s not that, it’s just that you don’t quite give off that vibe, plus you’re not working in a hospital but in a company. That does make me a bit puzzled. With your medical skills, I believe you’d definitely excel in any hospital." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Tangyu smiled, this question was the second time someone had asked him, and he quipped, "It’s just a personal hobby, I guess. Just because I know medical techniques doesn’t mean I have to work in a hospital. Actually, I dislike hospitals. Moreover, I don’t casually apply my medical skills; they are not that cheap. As for working, that’s just a temporary interest, having a bit more life experience isn’t bad, right? Otherwise, life would be too monotonous."

Song Qingyu looked at Tangyu, realizing that his way of thinking was quite different from most. This was the first time she heard someone so confidently say that their medical skills weren’t cheap.

Shaking her head, Song Qingyu said, "You do have a point, I just feel that you would have more financial prospects in a hospital, maybe my view is too narrow-minded."

"That’s not it, Captain Song. You’re actually quite right. I would indeed have more opportunities if I worked at a hospital. However, I don’t like to treat people lightly," Tangyu said with a smile to Song Qingyu.

Song Qingyu also shook her head, thinking what an odd person he was, possessing such great medical skills yet disliking treating people: "By the way, Tangyu, you can just call me Qingyu in private."

"Hehe, can I call you Beauty Qingyu, or maybe Sister Qingyu?" Tangyu asked with a smile, seeing that Song Qingyu had really let down her guard.

Song Qingyu glared playfully and said, "If you don’t like it, then just continue calling me Captain Song."

"No, no, how could that be, Qingyu? It sounds so nice and affectionate," Tangyu said, thinking to himself that ’Qingyu wife’ seemed even nicer. I wonder when my wish will come true? Suddenly, Tangyu wondered if he was being a bit cheap, finding himself liking every beautiful woman he saw. Could it be, he really needed to pursue every single one of them? This thought troubled him—

Seeing Tangyu’s smile appearing somewhat lecherous, Song Qingyu frowned and snapped, "What are you thinking?"

"Hehe, nothing much," Tangyu quickly recovered and said, "By the way, Qingyu, do you have any idea what the backgrounds of those criminals are? There might be more to this situation than meets the eye."

As the topic shifted to work, Song Qingyu’s demeanor immediately turned serious, "Their identities aren’t much, just a small group of reckless assassins, specifically hired for murder. The group isn’t big, maybe just four or five people. Two were killed by us, one was captured, and the other two were the ones captured by you this morning and killed by us. This little group has committed numerous shootings, but thankfully, we’ve finally managed to eradicate them this time. We’ve also been investigating their identities and haven’t found anything significant."

"I don’t think so. Firstly, where did their weapons and ammunition come from? Who exactly are they working for? Is it really just a small Assassin Organization?" Tangyu shook his head.

Song Qingyu also fell silent for a moment: "In Donglin City, there is a very covert arms smuggling crime syndicate; basically, all the firearms and ammunition in Donglin City underground come from this group. Moreover, this gang also controls the entire underground drug trade, the biggest cancer in our Donglin City." She then looked at Tangyu and said, "Tangyu, although I know you’re reluctant, I really hope you would consider helping us. We have grabbed hold of a few clues which might just be the breakthrough needed to dismantle this underlying scourge. I really hope you would consider it."

Looking at Song Qingyu’s earnest eyes, Tangyu felt his heart soften and thought about agreeing, but he really didn’t want to get involved in this mess, and besides, this was not just Song Qingyu’s issue but a matter concerning the entire police force of Donglin City. If it were just about helping Song Qingyu alone, since he was reluctant, he might have considered it, but under the current circumstances, he was unwilling.

"Qingyu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I am only human, not a god. My abilities are limited. Qingyu, I think you guys could try using some of the local forces in Donglin City, the powers of the underworld. Dealing in arms and drugs, the inevitable consumers are those underworld forces; your breakthrough point should start with them. Moreover, Donglin City must have a few big shots, why not ask for their help?" Tangyu said.

Song Qingyu shook her head, "If it were that simple, we would have dismantled them long ago. The underworld has its own rules, and they all have interconnected interests, hardly anyone is willing to help us. It’s possible that they are involved too, providing us with clues would be like signing their own death warrants. Moreover, we don’t have any solid evidence, and they are all very cunning and difficult to deal with. If we act rashly against them, it will only lead to bigger problems."

Tangyu shrugged, "Then I’m out of ideas, love to help but can’t."

"Alright, I won’t force you further. By the way, Tangyu, exactly what poison was I poisoned with? It was terrifying," Song Qingyu asked, still feeling frightened when she recalled the pain, which was like living hell, and how quickly her body was drained, bringing her close to death. At that moment, she really thought she was going to die. Even cobra venom shouldn’t have been so ferocious.

"Exactly what the poison is called, I can’t say, because only the person who invented it is qualified to name it. It’s definitely one of the world’s rarest and most terrifying poisons. This particular poison was created from more than fifty different types of rare poisons combined, not only blending all those poisons together, but also enhancing its lethal properties. This poison can kill a healthy adult in less than half a minute. And the scariest part is, it has no antidote," Tangyu explained.

"What—That’s terrifying, it sounds like something out of a TV show," Song Qingyu was also rather shocked.

"Don’t doubt it, what those TV shows mention about extremely potent poisons like heidinhong or Soul-severing Powder actually exist, and I can create them. However, these poisons can only be considered medium in toxicity, not the rarest of poisons, which are extremely terrifying. I dare say, there are no more than five people in the world who can neutralize these ultimate poisons. Even those who have crafted such poisons might not be able to neutralize them," Tangyu added.

"Ah—" Song Qingyu was genuinely astonished; these words were simply beyond her understanding. If someone else had said this, she surely wouldn’t have believed it, but these unimaginable words coming from Tangyu’s mouth, she completely believed. It seemed that the world indeed held many terrifying secrets unknown to most. While shocked, she became curious about Tangyu’s identity.

"So, my body is alright now?" Song Qingyu asked.

"For now, yes," Tangyu replied.

"For now? Does that mean the poison in my body hasn’t been completely removed?" Song Qingyu frowned slightly, already somewhat frightened by Tangyu’s description of the ultimate poisons.

"Qingyu, you don’t have to worry, as long as I am here, you won’t be harmed. I’ve neutralized over 99 percent of the poison in your body. There’s just a tiny bit left that I haven’t been able to completely clear out, but I’ve sealed that trace in one of your acupoints. I’ll clean it up for you next time, and you should be fine. Mainly because I don’t have some herbs with me right now, otherwise I could have completely cleared the poison in one go. Of course, this poison might also leave some minor side effects, but don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you. If you feel unwell at any point, just call me. Hehe, because you’re not fully recovered yet, you’re still my patient, and I’ll take full responsibility for you," Tangyu said earnestly.

Song Qingyu glanced at Tangyu and couldn’t help but taste a strange flavor in the air.
