Chapter 147 - Calming Pill

Chapter 147: Calming Pill

Translator: Lordbluefire

When Fang Panxia came over, she was brimming with confidence.

It was because she had come across many cases of headaches.

Moreover, ever since Dugu Xiao contracted headaches, Chu Cichen had been making these arrangements. She had been learning about neurology and headaches for five years.

Over so many years, she had seen many cases. Even before coming here, she had gone through the cases in her mind and was fully prepared.

Dugu Xiao’s headaches were persistent and long-lasting, so she had thought of many possibilities, but all of them were slowly denied through the reports.

Until now, no one could find out what the reason behind his headaches was.

Seeing that all the situations she had come across in previous cases were being denied, Fang Panxia’s heart turned increasingly cold and she felt anxious.

Leng Ling lowered her gaze, her ice-cold face had a hint of disdain. She asked, “Are you able to do it?”

There was disdain in her voice.

Fang Panxia instantly broke out in cold sweat on her forehead.

The butler, who was at the side, couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Leng, shall we go and invite the Chinese medicine doctor?”

“No need!” Fang Panxia spoke again, “I can do it.”

Leng Ling continued to stare at her.

The butler asked, “Miss Leng?”

“Then we’ll wait a little longer.” Leng Ling said coldly, “Anyway, Dugu Xiao is used to the pain.”

The butler. “…”

The butler was from the Aplow Family and was considered to be a trusted aide of Dugu Xiao’s mother.

Back then, Dugu Xiao killed all the successors of the Aplow Family with poison and took over the family. Ever since then, the butler had been very loyal to Dugu Xiao.

He looked at Leng Ling angrily.

This Miss Leng was brought back by his master. Even though she was called his bodyguard, she also took care of all the matters at home. However, Miss Leng was very disrespectful to their master, and the two of them shared a very ambiguous relationship.

Miss Leng seemed to hold great hatred for their master. She would always be interested in watching the fun from the sides yet constantly ensure his safety.

Moreover, their master was surprisingly lenient toward Miss Leng. Regardless of what she did, he wouldn’t interfere or reproach her.

Leng Ling was like a block of ice. She would usually only stand by their master’s side and not say much. Over so many years, the butler had never seen her smile before.

'',

The butler didn’t dare to rush Leng Ling. After all, this person was really skillful, and no one in the residence could defeat her.

However, the butler could urge Fang Panxia. He asked, “Dr. Fang, is there anything you can do?”

Fang Panxia had finished reading the medical record and her heart sank completely.

Just from the records alone, she couldn’t figure out what illness Dugu Xiao had.

All the checks that she could think of had been done. There was no problem with his head. He didn’t have rhinitis, and even checks on his nerve reflexes had been done. However, nothing abnormal was detected. Despite this, he had headaches.

In the beginning, ordinary painkillers could still work on him.

Thereafter, he slowly developed an immunity toward medicine. In recent years, no painkillers worked.

Fang Panxia gulped. “I want to take a look at the patient.”

The butler frowned and said helplessly, “Please come with me.”

The two of them went to the bedroom’s door and the butler knocked. “Sir, the doctor is here.”

There was no sound in the room.

The butler then pushed open the door.

The windows in the room weren’t opened and the curtains were tightly drawn. The entire room was dark, so it took Fan Panxia some time to adapt before she saw Dugu Xiao kneel seated on the floor. His head was lowered, and he was pressing onto his temples hard with both hands as if this could ease a little of his pain.

Fang Panxia walked up to him. “Mr. Dugu…”

She had just finished her words when Dugu Xiao abruptly raised his head.

His pair of eyes were bloodshot from the pain. His skin, which was fair to begin with, was now so fair that it was almost translucent. Moreover, his lips were red and his eyes deep. In this dim room, he looked like a vampire from Western stories.

Fang Panxia’s heart sank.

“Can… you cure my illness?” Dugu Xiao’s voice was hoarse and even when he talked, he could feel his temples throbbing in great pain.

Fan Panxia gulped. “I, I…”

“If you can’t, then scram!” Dugu Xiao’s temper could be said to be irritable right now.

“I can!”

Fan Panxia took out a black medicinal pill and handed it to him. “Eat this. It’ll take effect in five minutes.”

Dugu Xiao stared at that pill and then reached out his hands, trembling.

His hand looked very beautiful, his joints well-defined, long, and slender. He took the pill and tossed it into his mouth, swallowing it without minding that it was bitter.

The instant he took it, he felt a cooling sensation sliding down his stomach. Next, a clear stream extended toward his head. In just two to three minutes, his headache eased a lot.

Five minutes later, his head stopped hurting.

Dugu Xiao opened his bloodshot eyes and stared at the packaging, asking, “What medicine is this?”

Fan Panxia replied, “Calming pill.”

'

Dugu Xiao was stunned. “Chinese medicine?”

There was still the lingering bitter taste from the calming pill in his mouth.

Fan Panxia bit her lips. “Hmmm.”

She didn’t wish to say more because this medicine was made by Divine Doctor Jing!

Leng Ling, who was at the side, looked at her coldly.

She remembered that earlier on, someone had said that western medicine took effect fast for headaches and that Chinese medicine was useless.

However, Leng Ling didn’t say anything.

On the other hand, the butler heaved a huge sigh of relief and grabbed onto Fang Panxia’s hand excitedly. “Dr. Fang, you’re our Aplow Family’s benefactor given that you’re able to ease our master’s headache! We’re really thankful!”

When Fang Panxia heard this, she hesitated for a moment.

The reason Chu Cichen had her come to give Dugu Xiao treatment naturally wasn’t to become closer to Dugu Xiao. Given Chu Cichen’s status, there was no need for him to do this.

Chu Cichen had sent her here to investigate other things.

But now that the Chu Corporation was being targeted by the Chu Corporation, all the shareholders were blaming Chu Cichen for the error in his decision…

Fang Panxia’s gaze flickered and she suddenly said, “If you want to thank someone, then thank Mr. Chu.”

The butler was started. “Mr. Chu?”

Dugu Xiao also narrowed his eyes slightly, an excited gleam flashed in his eyes.

Fan Panxia said, “Yes, I was sponsored by Mr. Chu to study medicine in university, and it allowed me to become an outstanding neurology doctor today. Moreover, I’m the one taking charge of the matters of the Chu Corporation’s transition into the pharmaceutical industry. I’ve also heard of the conflict between Mr. Dugu and Mr. Chu, so I’d like to ask Mr. Dugu to cut the Chu Corporation some slack.”

The butler looked at Dugu Xiao.

Dugu Xiao sneered. “I thought that Chu Cichen was tough but didn’t expect him to yield so quickly… Since Dr. Fang has pleaded, then we won’t target Chu Corporation’s pharmaceutical business.”

Fang Panxia looked elated.

After leaving Dugu Xiao’s villa, she immediately sent this piece of news to the Chu Corporation’s shareholder meeting.

All the shareholders were in praise of her.

“Miss Fang is really our Chu Corporation’s savior!”

“That Miss Shen is a femme fatale. She created trouble and Miss Fang solved some of it. When the two of them are put in comparison, the differences between them are immediately presented…”

“I don’t understand. Shen Ruojing is just a little good-looking. Although she is that Anonymous, is that of any use to the company? It’s not as if our Chu Corporation is involved in the entertainment circle… If CEO Chu wants to marry a wife, Miss Fang is the one who can be a good and supportive wife…”

In Ye Lu’s clinic.

Ye Lu was on the call. She said, “I remember that your calming pill can cure headaches, right? If Dugu Xiao’s people come to look for you, why don’t I give them some medicine?

Shen Ruojing said calmly, “That medicine can only lighten his ailment. After taking it two times, the medicinal effect will reduce and it won’t be of any use then.”
