Chapter 329: Spot Checked

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Sweating indicated a person was quite weak.

Wang Yao tried to improve Han Wan’s blood flow through massage. It had pros and cons for her. The massage would improve her blood flow so that her body would function normally. However, the improved blood flow increased the speed of metabolism, as well as the toxins inside her body. Part of the toxins was processed by her kidney before getting out of her body. Therefore, massage could burden the damaged organs and make her condition worse.

“Aye!”

As expected, after half an hour, Han Wan’s face turned pale. She started to become short of breath.

“Are you not well?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes,” Han Wan said.

“Take some pills. The better ones I gave Professor Lu last time,” Wang Yao said.

“I don’t have any pills with me,” Han Wan replied.

“What?” Wang Yao was surprised. She was supposed to take those life-saving pills with her all the time.

In fact, Professor Lu had given those pills to a friend, to be precise, a relative of Han Wan, who wanted to analyze the components of the pills so that he could make some himself.

“Never mind, I’ve got other medications with me.” Han Wan took out some pills from her handbag and threw them into her mouth. Soon she felt better.

Her condition is really tricky, Wang Yao thought.

In order to cure Han Wan, he had to restore her kidney function and regulate her body function to reduce the toxins in her body. Hopefully, it would reduce the burden on her kidney.

“Dr. Wang?” Professor Lu looked at Wang Yao, who was thinking deeply.

“The treatment session for today is over. I need to think about what herbs will benefit her,” Wang Yao said.

“When should we come back?” Professor Lu asked.

“I will let you know in a week,” Wang Yao replied.

While he was talking to Professor Lu, two people entered the courtyard without knocking at the door.

“Is Wang Yao here?” one of the visitors asked.

“Yes, who is it?” Wang Yao walked out of the room.

“Well, we are doing some spot checks. What do you do for a living?” the visitor asked.

“I grow herbs,” Wang Yao said.

“What are they doing here?” He pointed at Professor Lu and Han Wan.

“They are my guests,” Wang Yao said calmly.

“You were reported to practice medicine without a certificate. We are here to do some investigation. We hope that you will assist us with some questions,” a man wearing glasses said.

“Without a certificate?” Han Wan was surprised.

“Professor? The doctor doesn’t have a certificate?” Han Wan lowered her voice when asking.

“I don’t know,” Professor Lu said.

“That’s fine, what do you want me to do?” Wang Yao asked.

“Show us the rooms, please,” the man wearing glasses said.

“What rooms?” Wang Yao asked.

“All the rooms, please,” the man wearing glasses replied.

He had cabinets in the storage room that contained various herbs. He wouldn’t be able to hide anything from the investigators.

Why did they come here? Wang Yao wondered. Someone must have reported me.

“Sorry, do you have anything to prove that you are from the Health Department?” Wang Yao asked.

“What?” The man wearing glasses was surprised. He had never been asked that before.

However, they had no one to blame. They forgot to bring related paperwork with them.

“We can show you our work identifications,” the man wearing glasses said.

“How about a search warrant?” Wang Yao asked calmly.

“What do you mean?” the man wearing glasses asked.

“How do I know if you have the right to search my place without a search warrant?” Wang Yao responded.

As far as Wang Yao was concerned, all the people from government departments, except for the police department, didn’t have the right to search private property without a search warrant. Even policemen required search warrant sometimes.

“Are you serious?” The two visitors from the Health Department started to get annoyed. They had never come across someone so non-compliant. No wonder someone wanted to give him a lesson.

“You wait here, I’m getting the paperwork delivered now,” the man wearing glasses said as he pointed at Wang Yao.

“No problem,” Wang Yao replied.

“Is everything alright? Do you need any help?” Professor Lu came out of the room.

“No, thanks. I just need to make a phone call,” Wang Yao said.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Someone was knocking at the door.

The door opened. An elderly woman in her 60s came in followed by a woman in her 30s.

“Hello, Dr. Wang.” The elderly woman smiled when she saw the people in the courtyard.

“Doctor? Do you have a certificate? Show me your certificate,” the man wearing glasses said loudly.

“Hey, young man, watch your tone!” The elderly woman was not happy with him.

“It’s none of your business, ma’am. He practices medicine without a certificate. It is illegal for him to do that. It is also illegal for you to encourage him to do that,” the man wearing glasses stated.

“Really?” The elderly woman raised her eyebrows.

“I can’t be bothered to explain to you. Wait here. I’ll get the relevant paperwork soon.” The man wearing glasses made another phone call. He said that Wang Yao was not compliant with his investigation, so he hoped to get support from the Police Department.

“Interesting,” the elderly woman murmured.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao called Li Maoshuang, who was familiar with people who worked for the Health Department.

“Spot check? Wait a minute.” Li Maoshuang took action right away.

Soon, he rang Wang Yao back.

“This is tricky. Someone reported you, specifically you, and the person reported to the Health Department in the city. It was the leader there making the order to check on you. Give me some time to get more details,” Li Maoshuang said.

Real-name reporting to the department in the city?

“Who reported you? For what?” said the elderly woman, who arrived a short while ago.

“Nothing. Have you been feeling better?” Wang Yao asked.

“I feel much better, so I came out for a walk. I thought maybe I should pay you a visit. Which department are they from?” the elderly woman asked calmly, but with authority.

“The Health Department,” Wang Yao said.

“Hey, what are you all doing here? Stopping us from doing our job?” the man wearing glasses said.

“What are you talking about? We are just visiting,” said the woman in her 30s, who came with the elderly woman.

“Professor Lu, you can go back with Ms. Han now. I will let you know when the decoction is ready,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you, no hurry.” Professor Lu shook his hand with a smile.

Wang Yao was in trouble, so how could he leave?

“Decoction? You sell decoctions illegally?” The two men from the Health Department were more angry.

Apparently, Wang Yao didn’t take them seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned decoction in front of them. This was ridiculous. They had come across arrogant people, but not this arrogant. The two men decided they had to do something now. They would close the place down and ask Wang Yao to pay a big fine.

Wang Yao received a call from Tian Yuantu a few minutes later.

“Hello, Li Maoshuang just told me what happened. I’m trying to communicate with the relevant personnel, please wait,” Tian Yuantu said.

“Thank you,” Wang Yao said.

“Hello, Sir, It’s me. What? Stop investigating? But he doesn’t have a medical certificate and is really rude to me... Okay... Okay.” The man wearing glasses hung up the phone. He looked unhappy.

He then looked at Wang Yao.

“Well, it seems you know someone from the department.” He turned around and left Wang Yao’s clinic with his colleague. He was quite upset.

He got inside his car.

“Shall we leave?” his colleague asked.

“Just wait a minute.” The man wearing glasses was reluctant to leave.

“But, Mr. Li had told you to stop,” his colleague said.

“I don’t want to give up yet. Didn’t you see him? He didn’t give a damn about us,” the man wearing glasses said.

Inside Wang Yao’s clinic, Professor Lu and Han Wan were also leaving, but they returned to the clinic after noticing the man wearing glasses and his colleague were still waiting outside.

“They are still outside,” Professor Lu said.

“They haven’t given up. Leave them there,” Wang Yao said with a smile. “Try some grapes. I grew them myself.”

The two men from the Health Department got what they had been waiting for after a while. Two of their colleagues had just arrived. One came with relevant paperwork. The other asked them to continue with their work.

So, they got out of the car.

“Have you contacted the Police Department?” the man wearing glasses asked.

“Yes, the police station in the town will send people to help you,” said his colleague, who had just arrived.

“Okay. We will be waiting here for the policemen. Oh, no, I think we should go back inside now, maybe we can catch him on the spot,” the man wearing glasses said.

They went back to Wang Yao’s clinic with four men instead of two men.

Wang Yao was checking the elderly woman’s pulse when the four men entered the clinic.

“You recover well,” Wang Yao said.

“I think so. I feel warm inside and stronger. Now, I don’t like staying at home all the time. I want to go out,” the elderly woman said.

“Have you taken all the decoctions I gave you last time?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, no more left,” the elderly woman replied.

“Okay. I’ll make you another dose as soon as I can,” Wang Yao said.

Bang! Wang Yao heard a loud noise. Someone had just closed the door.

“What is going on?”

Wang Yao stood up and saw the two men from the Health Department coming back with two more people.

“What are they doing here?” The elderly woman was not happy.

“This is the search warrant. Can we check your place now?” the man wearing glasses said.

“This is a private house, not a clinic. It is not appropriate for you to check this place. I don’t think it’s legal for you to do so,” Wang Yao said.

“You are full of nonsense! How about we wait here for the police to come? I’m sure you are doing something illegal here. You know you are not clean!” the man wearing glasses said.

“Oh, well, go ahead.” Wang Yao gave way to the four men.

The four of them started to search the rooms.

“What is this?” They found the herb cabinet immediately.

“Seven-star herb cabinet,” Wang Yao said.

“The cabinet is for herb storage?” the man wearing glasses asked

“Yes,” Wang Yao replied.

“This is the evidence of your illegal practice,” the man wearing glasses said.

“I use it for myself,” Wang Yao said calmly.

“You... You... According to relevant regulation, your cabinet and what’s inside are to be confiscated, and you need to pay a fine,” the man wearing glasses said.

“Why are you taking my cabinet? I grow herbs. What’s wrong with storing process herbs in this cabinet? How come that is illegal?” Wang Yao asked.

“Grow herbs? Do you have a permit?” the man wearing glasses said.

“I’ve never heard that I need a permit to grow herbs. Do I need a permit to grow wheat and corn?” Wang Yao was a bit upset.

“You... You are using lame arguments and perverted logic,” the man wearing glasses shouted.

“What?” Wang Yao couldn’t believe it.

“Don’t waste timing arguing with him. Just take the cabinet and the herbs,” said an overweight man with tanned skin, who came with the man wearing glasses.

“Are you really public servants? I think you guys are like robbers!” The elderly woman couldn’t help talking.

“It has nothing to do with you! Don’t get involved in this, okay? Haven’t you gotten anything better to do?” the overweight man said.

This was not good!

The look on the face of the young woman coming with the elderly woman changed immediately.

“You are right. I’ve gotten nothing better to do,” the elderly woman said.

She took out her phone and walked away.

After several beeping sounds, a deep voice came from the phone.

“Hello, Mom, how are you?” the deep voice said.

“Haichuan, the public servants in Haiqu are quite somebody. They are like robbers,” the elderly woman said.

“What is going on?” Secretary Yang was surprised. “Can you give the phone to Luo?”

“Ma’am, let me talk to Secretary Yang,” said the young woman, who took over the phone.

“Hello, Secretary Yang. It’s me. What happened was...” Luo explained the whole thing to Secretary Yang on the phone. “Not a problem... You don’t need to worry about it.”

One of the men from the Health Department had sharp hearing. He overheard part of the conversation.

“This can’t be true,” the man murmured.

“Come on, let’s take the cabinet!” The man wearing glasses was still shouting.

Meanwhile, the police car had arrived.

“Good, the police are here,” the man wearing glasses said.

A policeman entered the room.

“Hi, bro, it’s you!” the policeman said.

Apparently, all the policemen knew Wang Yao was the best friend of the mayor’s son. Wang Yao invited them for dinner a few times in the past.

“Hey, you know him?” The men from the Health Department were surprised.

“Of course. The one you said is non-compliant and violent can’t be him,” the policeman said.
