Chapter 35

Due to his injury, Li Feng could only work from home, and Li Mian could only help move the documents and information to the Li family.

Watching Li Feng take the medicine from the brown medicine bottle on time, Li Mian suddenly thought of something and took out a white storage bag from his briefcase. “Commander, this is a suspicious item found at the scene that day. I’ve already asked in detail and it doesn’t belong to the military.”

Li Feng took it and looked at the handkerchief through the bag. “So?”

“I’m guessing that this might have been left behind by the people from Saint Gate. How do you want to deal with it?”

Looking at the exquisite silver feather on it, Li Feng said, “Are they really that mysterious? Didn’t you manage to find anything else?”

Li Mian lowered his head. “It’s my fault.”

“Forget it. If it could be found so easily, they wouldn’t have been able to stand for so many years,” Li Feng said.

Li Mian heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “There seems to be some new situation on Li Yao’s side. Should we let him in?”

Li Feng hummed in acknowledgment, and Li Mian went out to bring the man in.

“Commander.”

“Get straight to the point.”

Li Yao nodded, handed the information to him, and said, “Flying Flames has received a very reliable piece of information. It’s been confirmed that the person is in Sea City and is still in the elimination area. I believe we’ll be able to get the exact location soon.”

“Also, the Commander has ordered us to investigate Miss Gu and Dr. Kyra’s matter regarding Baiyi Village. I’ve found some clues. There’s very limited information on Dr. Kyra. We only know that she stayed in Baiyi Village for a while and was taught by an old Chinese doctor. After that, it’s the information you’ve read before. There’s nothing else suspicious.”

Li Yao quickly and accurately reported the matter and stood still at the side.

Li Feng looked at him. “The ‘reliable information’ that you mentioned, have you confirmed the source?”

Li Yao replied, “They contacted us on the dark net. They did it very cleanly. We didn’t find out who sent it, but the information has been confirmed. It is accurate.”

“Have you checked this old Chinese medicine doctor?” Li Feng asked.

“I’ve checked. He was a very famous Chinese medicine master in the area. He had many disciples who came and went to learn from him. He passed away three years ago.”

Li Feng threw the documents in his hand on the table. “That means that the lead ends here.”

“What I can be sure of is that Dr. Kyra is indeed the same as Miss Gu. Both of them have been under this Chinese medicine master.”

“In other words, the two of them can be considered to be from the same sect.” Li Feng thought for a moment and said, “Then why do they look like they don’t know each other?”

“Your subordinate does not know,” Li Yao said respectfully.

Li Mian thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t you just say that this master of Chinese medicine has many disciples? It’s not impossible for them to not know each other.”

Li Feng looked at him with an indifferent expression. He couldn’t guess what he meant.

Li Yao thought of something and quickly added, “Miss Gu can only be considered as a student who was listening in on the class. It might not be accurate to say that she is this person’s disciple.”

After hearing his words, Li Feng frowned slightly. After a long time, he asked, “Is this old Chinese doctor really that amazing? How can a student who only listens to his lessons have such high medical attainments?”

Li Mian understood why Li Feng had asked this question. Back then, Li Feng’s injuries were extremely complicated and dangerous. Gu Yue was so young at that time. Did she really completely cure Li Feng’s injuries by herself? Now, it seemed a little illogical.

“The projects that Miss Gu has handled in the past few years are all beginner projects in the research institute. With her level, she should have higher requirements. In the past, I’ve also heard the director complain that her work is… Well, most of it is barely satisfactory.” Li Mian searched his mind for a relatively tactful word to express his meaning.

“You mean, over the years, Gu Yue’s medical level has not improved, but regressed?” Li Feng came to this conclusion after combining all the information he had gathered.

Li Mian nodded. “Yes, Commander.”

He didn’t dare to criticize Li Feng’s savior, but since the Commander had said it himself, it had nothing to do with him.

“Has there always been such a saying in the institute?” Li Feng asked.

This research institute represented the medical standard of the entire Empire. The system of research and the selection of talents was equally important. It had always been taboo for the talents in the research institute to be unworthy of its title.
