If you don't want treatment, get out! This doctor has a terrible temper.

Chapter 86 The Unexpected Discovery by the Renovation Team

With the sponsorship of Jin Dazui and that "Smurf" tycoon, Renxin Pharmacy finally ushered in a complete renovation.

Wang Minyu didn't hire any high-end design company; instead, he went directly to Old Zhang, the foreman who had done the renovations for the neighbor last time.

Old Zhang both respected and feared Wang Minyu, after all, this doctor had almost diagnosed him with early signs of lung cancer (which was actually old phlegm).

"Dr. Wang, your request is a bit strange." Old Zhang held the blueprints, looking constipated. "I can understand turning the shop next door into a waiting area, but this... a 'negative pressure therapy room'? Completely enclosed, with an industrial-grade ventilation system? Are you trying to concoct an elixir?"

"Pretty much." Wang Minyu drew a circle on the blueprint. "This room needs three layers of soundproofing cotton for the walls and corrosion-resistant epoxy flooring. Some treatments with strong odors, such as certain special fumigation treatments, will be done here."

Actually, it's a new home prepared for that "pickled cabbage".

The jar in the backyard was too rudimentary, and as the weather got warmer, the pungent smell began to affect neighborly relations.

Yesterday, the auntie who sells steamed buns next door came to complain that her steamed buns all tasted like pickled fish.

"Okay, as long as the money is there, everything is negotiable," Old Zhang assured, patting his chest.

Just then, the red landline on the table rang.

This phone was a "hotline for emergency treatment" that Wang Minyu specially installed, and the number was only given to a few people at the city's central hospital.

Upon answering the phone, Liu Jianbang's anxious voice came through: "Dr. Wang! Save the day! This isn't a monster, but it's close!"

"I'm not going." Wang Minyu refused decisively, "The payment for last time hasn't been settled yet."

"Get it done! Get it done right now! This time, it was introduced by a provincial leader, a very important person!" Liu Jianbang lowered his voice, "And this illness... is a bit strange. Western medicine has done all the tests, and the nervous system is fine, but the person just won't go on."

Half an hour later, a black Audi pulled up in front of the pharmacy, which was still under construction.

It wasn't a pot-bellied leader who came down, but a middle-aged woman with an elegant demeanor, wearing a plain cheongsam.

Unfortunately, she is not elegant at all right now.

She was holding a thermos in her hands, shivering all over, and despite it being the middle of summer, she was wearing a thick cashmere shawl.

"Dr. Wang, this is Ms. Lu Man, one of the top tea connoisseurs in China," Liu Jianbang introduced.

Lu Man frowned slightly as she looked at the dusty pharmacy, but the pain in her body made her forget about her disdain.

"Dr. Wang... please save me." Her voice trembled, her teeth chattering. "It's cold... so cold."

Wang Minyu activated the [Aura Observation Technique].

strangeness.

Lu Man's body temperature was normal, at 36.8 degrees Celsius.

But her aura had an eerie blue hue, as if she were frozen in ice.

Even more bizarrely, there was a red flame burning on her lower abdomen.

Feeling cold in the upper body and hot in the lower body?

"Hold out your hand." Wang Minyu took her pulse.

The pulse was deep and thready, yet it beat extremely fast in those subtle places.

"Have you been drinking any water you shouldn't have been drinking lately?" Wang Minyu suddenly asked.

Lu Man was taken aback for a moment: "I only drink specially supplied spring water. To keep my sense of taste sharp, I don't even touch tap water."

"So, when did your illness start?"

"A week ago," Lu Man recalled, "I went to the reservoir in the western suburbs to investigate the water source. There was a newly formed spring there, with exceptionally clear and cold water. I tasted it... and ever since then, I've felt like my body is inside an icebox. No matter how many clothes I wear or how much hot water I drink, I feel cold to the bone."

"But you're not actually cold." Wang Minyu pointed to the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. "You're sweating. Your 'coldness' is a hallucination. Deep inside you, you're actually running a high fever."

This is a typical case of "deep heat leading to deep collapse".

Excessive internal heat and toxins cause the yang energy to be trapped inside and unable to reach the limbs, so the body feels cold on the outside, but the inside is actually almost completely burned out.

But ordinary illnesses are not this severe.

"West Suburbs Reservoir..." Wang Minyu squinted. That place wasn't far from the construction site where the homeless man with the "nematodes" had been found.

"Master, how do we treat this?" Zhao Na asked softly. "Should we use aconite and dried ginger decoction to restore yang?"

"That's suicide." Wang Minyu rolled his eyes at her. "She's really hot inside. If you add fuel to the fire, she'll spontaneously combust right now. We need to use the 'ventilation' method to dissipate the heat inside."

"Guan Shan, go to the backyard and pick a bunch of mutated mint, and chop two pounds of ginger, with the mud still on."

"You want ginger too?" Zhao Na asked, puzzled. "Isn't ginger warming?"

"I'll use ginger peel," Wang Minyu explained. "Ginger flesh is very warming, but ginger peel is cooling, specifically for removing moisture from the skin. Combined with the powerful opening-up function of the mutated mint, it will open up all her pores."

Ten minutes later, a cup of dark green medicine was served.

"Drink it."

Lu Man took it with trembling hands, and after just one sip, her eyes welled up with tears from the spiciness.

But the spiciness didn't go down; instead, it was like a bomb exploding in my stomach and shooting straight to my head.

"ah--!"

She screamed and threw off her shawl.

His originally pale skin instantly turned bright red, and countless fine beads of sweat gushed out.

The extreme cold that had plagued her for a week disappeared like the receding tide, replaced by a refreshing coolness.

"Amazing..." Liu Jianbang watched in stunned silence. "It's done already?"

"It's not ready yet." Wang Minyu said gravely, picking up a basin. "Spit it out."

Lu Man felt a tickle in her throat and spat out a large mouthful of thick phlegm.

Everyone stared intently, and their scalps tingled with fear.

There were several red, hair-like worms wriggling in the phlegm!

Although it was very small, much smaller than the one that was in the homeless man's stomach last time, it was definitely the same thing.

"This is..." Lu Man was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"Parasites." Wang Minyu quickly poured alcohol on the spring water and burned the insects to death. "That spring water is problematic. Don't drink it again."

After seeing off the profusely thanking Lu Man and the bewildered Liu Jianbang, Wang Minyu's expression darkened.

"Old Zhang!" he called out.

Foreman Zhang, who was demolishing the wall, ran over: "What's wrong, Dr. Wang?"

"Renovation is on hold." Wang Minyu looked west. "That negative pressure room needs reinforcement. In addition to soundproofing, add another layer of lead plate. Also, don't connect the sewage pipes to the municipal network; connect them directly to the septic tank in the backyard. I want to handle that myself."

"Huh? Lead plates? Those are for radiation protection!" Old Zhang was dumbfounded.

"Just add more as I say." Wang Minyu took out a card from the drawer. "If you don't have enough money, add more. Also, go buy me a few sets of biohazard protective suits, the highest level."

"What...what happened?"

"It's nothing." Wang Minyu put the charred insect corpses into a bottle. "It's just that I feel like things are a bit complicated in Changxiang City lately."

Has the "seeds" of Organization S already contaminated the water source?

If even someone like Lu Man, who only drinks a sip, got infected, what about ordinary people?

Wang Minyu looked back at the large vat in the backyard.

The sauerkraut hasn't woken up yet, but his earlier statement that "the mother is incubating" is probably not an exaggeration.

This is no longer just about exploiting people.

This is about protecting the leek field from being eaten up by insects.

"Pass the word down," Wang Minyu said to his two apprentices. "Starting tomorrow, add one ingredient to the Qi-boosting tea—realgar. Don't use too much, just enough to kill the insect eggs. Tell everyone it's... a special Dragon Boat Festival offering."

"Master, there are still three months until the Dragon Boat Festival."

"I said today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and today is the Dragon Boat Festival." Wang Minyu's eyes were cold. "If you don't want to die, do as I say."
