Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 687 - The Highest Realm of Investment

Translator: Thyaeria

It took a great effort for Naoto Ohshima and Shin Nomura to reach the shore. The two of them were wet as Naoto Ohshima fiddled around his pockets. He realised that he had lost both his wallet and his phone was soaked, it was fried.

As for Shin Nomura, he still has his wallet as he comforted Naoto Ohshima, “Let us leave immediately. It won’t be good if that Chinese physician catches up to us.”

The two of them had long recognised Su Tao. It was the young physician who had once broken the rules of the hospital to treat Chiaki Sakamoto, but they never expected that he could fight so well.

As two of them walked on a small path, a bunch of men wearing suits came in their direction. The one leading wore a golden chain, a buzzcut, and a scar on his brows. When the two of them saw them, they exchanged a look and instantly rejoiced. They wondered if this group before them were the backup of the Hayakawa-gumi. With backup, wouldn’t they be able to repay all their suffering?

“What should we do? Should we go?” Naoto Ohshima was indecisive.

“Let us leave. The Yakuza isn’t someone that we can provoke!” Shin Nomura was a little timid.

“What about my 2,000,000 yen!” Naoto Ohshima was still feeling reluctant.

Sighing inwardly, Shin Nomura could only go along with him, “Then let’s follow them back? If the situation weren’t optimistic, we’d leave immediately!”

Just when Naoto Ohshima was about to nod his head, his lips suddenly trembled as if he had seen something terrifying. When Shin Nomura followed his gaze over, he was also terrified. Another group came in this direction, as well. This group wasn't wearing the same style as the men of the other group, and all of them had an oppressive air around them.

“Hey, friend!” The one leading the group waved his hand at Naoto Ohshima and asked, “What are you guys doing here? Why are you guys all drenched?”

Naoto Ohshima’s legs instantly trembled as this fellow was the one that instructed him to frame the Oida Yoshikawa and Yu Omuri. After that incident, Naoto Ohshima had investigated them, and they were Chinese from Minnan Province.

There was an incident in the past, which caused a group of people from Minnan Province to migrate to Japan, using their connection to change their nationality. Henceforth, the Japanese were dreadful of these groups of Chinese, and they are the only organisation that the Hayakawa-gumi did not dare to touch recklessly.

In Japan, aside from Yakuzas, there were also the Minqing Gang and Penglai Gang.

Furthermore, the one leading the group was one of the leaders in the Minqing Gang, Yang Xiong.

Naoto Ohshima immediately lowered his head as he shivered, “We’re here to relax.”

Sweeping a glance at Naoto Ohshima, Yang Xiong smiled as he warned, “Remember, keep your mouth shut about what happened.”

Nodding his head like a robot, Naoto Ohshima replied, “Please be reassured, we will definitely bring it to our graves.”

“Then leave!” Yang Xiong patted Naoto Ohshima, which nearly caused the latter’s knees to give in.

After Yang Xiong left when the group, Naoto Ohshima recovered with beads of sweat covering his forehead.

“Are we still going over?” Shin Nomura probed.

“Are you courting death?” Naoto Ohshima rolled his eyes at Shin Nomura. Spending 2,000,000 yen to keep his life safe wasn’t expensive.

When Yasushi Ishimaru saw one of the leaders of the Hayakawa-gumi, Yoshida Kotani, standing onshore with a gloomy expression, he instantly rejoiced. He knew that his reinforcements came, and the flame in his heart blazed once more. Wiping the traces of blood off the corner of his lips, he laughed, “You guys are so doomed! I know that you can fight well, but can you fight against a few hundred people?”

Su Tao locked his brows together as his heart became cloudy. He wasn’t afraid of these people, and it’s easy for him to escape. However, he was with Yu Omuri and Natsuki Sakamoto, which he wasn’t confident to flee with the two of them around.

However, that group did not move as they stood onshore. At this moment, another group came over as they’re clearly not from the same organisation with a gap separated between them. The man wearing a suit, gold chain, and had a scar stood with Yang Xiong in the middle of the two groups. The one with the scar handed a cigarette to Yang Xiong, which the latter took and lit it up for himself and the scarred man as well. Roughly ten-odd minutes later, the two of them returned to their groups.

Another few minutes later, a young and skinny man stepped out beside Yang Xiong as he walked over and smiled, “You must be Physician Su, right? I’m Ole Five; my boss had already communicated with them. You guys can leave now. As for Natsuki Sakamoto’s matter, they will give you an explanation on it.”

At this moment, a person walked out of the Hayakawa-gumi and grabbed Yasushi Ishimaru by the collar, giving him two slaps before throwing him out.

Although Su Tao had no idea what was going on, he could figure out that the Chinese group must have helped him out.

When Su Tao came onshore, Yang Xiong smiled as he walked over and introduced himself, “My name is Yang Xiong, and I’m under orders to escort you. I heard that you’d treated Vice-President Mu? I wonder if you can take a look at some of my brothers’ ailments as well?”

“Thank you for your timely help.” Su Tao smiled as he asked, “But what about them?”

“Boss Gu had already greeted Hayakawa-gumi’s Oyabun, and we’ve discussed this matter between them. Natsuki Sakamoto has already ended her contract with them, and this matter was done privately by Yasushi Ishimaru. He had violated the Hayakawa-gumi’s rules, and he will be dealt with accordingly.” Yang Xiong replied as he continued, “For someone like him, he will definitely be expelled.”

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao looked at Yu Omuri and smiled, “Now you guys can finally feel relieved?”

“It has already been resolved!” Yu Omuri immediately explained to Natsuki Sakamoto.

Natsuki Sakamoto’s eyes flashed with gratitude as she spoke out, “Help me thank Mr. Su. He helped me numerous times, and I can never repay him in this lifetime.”

“Don’t worry about it. I will repay him for you.” Yu Omuri smiled with a flicker of warmth in his eyes.

After that, Yu Omuri immediately returned the case to Su Tao and thanked, “Since it has already been resolved, then we do not need this sum of money anymore. You can have it back!”

However, Su Tao shook his head and replied, “Consider it your prepayment. Your income, it will be linked to the income of the medicine factory. In a nutshell, you will not have any income if the medicine factory did not earn any profit. You can take this money to get a home in China and use it for your daily activities.”

When Yu Omuri heard Su Tao’s words, he was so touched that he started to tear up. He had treated Su Tao as the second Chinese who he had indebted greatly, aside from his master, Qian Honghu.

Su Tao had his own reasons why he spent so much on Yu Omuri; he was a Japanese. Hence, it was unavoidable for Su Tao to be on guard with him. Only by obtaining his trust from the bottom of his heart can Su Tao win his loyalty.

Yu Omuri wasn’t the same as Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei in Su Tao’s heart. Even if Su Tao has some understanding of Yu Omuri and knew that he isn’t someone who would kick his benefactor in the teeth, he still had his guards up.

“Thank you for your trust. May I know when I can start working officially?” Yu Omuri asked with a grave and expectant expression.

“I’ll help the two of you with your procedures to leave the countries first, in which someone will come and contact the two of you in two days.” Su Tao had already asked Yan Jing to deal with this matter, but since it involves some procedures, it will take some time.

“I will be on standby!” Yu Omuri nodded his head gravely.

Yang Xiong got someone to send Yu Omuri and Natsuki Sakamoto home, while Su Tao followed them to their base. Their base is located in a warehouse on the outskirts. Yang Xiong had already called ten-odd brothers over. When Su Tao took a glance at them, they were mostly suffering from superficial injuries, so he immediately conducted his treatment.

“Brother, there’s nothing serious with the injury on your right arm. I just have to dress it again, which involves cutting open your wound to remove the rotten flesh. But there’s nothing to be worried about, and I guarantee that it will be a pain-free procedure. When you’ve recovered, it will even leave no scar.”

“Lad, did your girlfriend scratch you on the face? It’s a little infected. You just have to watch your hygiene and apply some medicine.”

“Brother, how many people were you chased by? You’ve injured your ligament, and the treatment will be slightly complicated.”

“What? You’re not here for treatment but your girlfriend? It’s fine. Tell me about it!”

Roughly two hours later, Su Tao finally treated everyone as he had exhaustion written on his face.

Yang Xiong has been standing by the side, watching the whole treatment. He felt grateful from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Su Tao. It was no wonder that Boss Gu would have such a high evaluation of Su Tao, so this person turns out to be an unparalleled genius.

All sorts of illnesses were nothing to him. Regardless of acupuncture or massage, he could treat any condition.

“You’re truly well deserving of your reputation as a Divine Physician!” Everyone who was treated by Su Tao sighed from the bottom of their hearts involuntarily.

When Su Tao finished, Gu Yin arrived as he smiled, “It has been tough on you. Come, let’s eat!”

“It’s not tough. On the contrary, it felt fulfilling that I can help everyone.” Su Tao gave a humble reply.

Following Gu Yin into the vehicle, Su Tao sat behind. When he saw Gu Yin’s expression, he asked, “Mr. Gu, what are you thinking about?”

He wasn’t gossipy, but he knew that Gu Yin had something to ask him.

“I heard that you’re going to open a pharmacy branch in Kyoto?” Gu Yin smiled.

“Yeah!” Su Tao nodded his head.

“What do you think about opening it in Chinatown? I’ll pick a location for you, and I guarantee that it will be prosperous.” Gu Yin gently tapped on his thigh.

“Mr. Gu, I believe you have other thoughts, right?” Su Tao smiled.

Listening to Su Tao’s words, Gu Yin was briefly stunned before he laughed, “That’s right. I would like to invest, but that lass from the Ni Family was unwilling, so I came to ask you.”

If he were to lay a foot in Kyoto, he would definitely have to rely on someone like Gu Yin, and cooperating together might be a pretty good choice.

Hence, Su Tao agreed to it straightforwardly, “Sure, I’ll talk to Jingqiu about it.”

Seeing that Su Tao agreed to his investment, Gu Yin smiled. The reason why the Gu Family could grow so powerful was due to their insight. He was the same as Mu Jingchen, and he’s someone who evaluates the risk in investments.

The Gu Family’s investment method is at the highest realm of investment as they invest on the person itself.
