Bai Jiang thought for a moment and felt that it probably wasn’t the few people she had just thought of.

Because those people knew her master, they could ask him if they wanted to investigate.

Moreover, her master had said that it was impossible to find out the identity of the person investigating her. If someone had asked her master, he would have an impression and told her his guess.

Bai Jiang couldn’t figure out who else it could be.

“Never mind, I shouldn’t dwell on it too much.” After tidying up, Bai Jiang lay down on the bed.

The baby was sleeping inside the bed, and Bai Jiang’s heart softened as she looked at the peaceful expression on the baby’s face.

The baby’s medicine was almost finished, so tomorrow she would have to go to the pharmacy in the town to buy some more medicine.

The next day, after Bai Jiang finished her meal, Xu Liang arrived. After explaining the location where Xu Liang was supposed to work and the desired effects she needed, she went to the town’s pharmacy.

To her surprise, Bai Jiang saw the middle-aged man who had bought fruits from her before. He was at the pharmacy with a young man, purchasing medicine.

“Sir, we don’t have the hundred-year-old ginseng you requested. It’s a very valuable medicinal herb, and most ordinary pharmacies don’t carry it,” the shopkeeper informed.

Bai Jiang noticed that the middle-aged man was holding a prescription, and the listed medicinal herbs looked familiar to her.

Upon hearing that the pharmacy didn’t have the hundred-year-old ginseng, she seemed to understand the prescription.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, hello. Where did you get that prescription from?”

Before the butler could respond, the young man beside him spoke up, “That’s none of your concern.”

Bai Jiang furrowed her brows. “I’m also a doctor, and I’d like to tell you that while the symptoms of different illnesses may appear similar, the treatment can vary. This prescription may be suitable for certain individuals, but it doesn’t mean it’s suitable for everyone.”

The man’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Bai Jiang. “We have no business with you.”

This man was impolite!

This deeply annoyed Bai Jiang.

At this moment, the butler spoke, “Miss Bai, thank you for selling us the fruits. As for this prescription, we obtained it from Miracle Doctor Bai in Jing Capital. We have also handed over the prescription to a medical team for research, so we are confident in its usage.”

Every word, every syllable from the butler struck Bai Jiang’s heart like a drumstick.

Miracle Doctor Bai, prescription, Jing Capital…

These three important keywords brought Bai Jiang to the realization that the impolite man in front of her was the one who had been investigating her!

Suddenly, she remembered the news from her previous life. The leader of the Xiao Corporation had a genetic defect and was dedicated to medical research but only lived until the age of 20.

A great sense of joy surged within Bai Jiang. In her previous life, the Xiao Corporation had developed a drug that targeted the corresponding genetic defect.

Although the leader had not lived past the age of 20, the drug had already significantly extended the lives of people with genetic defects.

If they could truly develop such a drug, it would be a great thing for the baby and many other individuals with genetic defects.

After buying the medicine from the pharmacy, the butler and the young man left.

At this moment, the shop assistant finally reacted. With a smile on her face, she asked, “Miss, what medicine would you like to buy?”

“The same medicine as theirs,” Bai Jiang replied, presenting a prescription.

The shop assistant was about to say that she shouldn’t joke around when she saw the prescription in Bai Jiang’s hand and looked puzzled.

Alright, the prescription was real, so this was not a joke.

Bai Jiang purchased the medicine and left the pharmacy. As she headed towards her restaurant, she noticed that something seemed to be following her from behind.

Turning around, Bai Jiang saw a large black dog following behind her.

This black dog seemed to be the one she had rescued not long ago.

Bai Jiang stopped walking, and the black dog also stopped.

“Do you want to follow me?” Bai Jiang asked the black dog.

The black dog whimpered and playfully rolled at Bai Jiang’s feet.

Bai Jiang looked at the black dog in disbelief. Was it trying to act cute?

Well…

In the future, when the pharmacy was truly established, she might consider having the dog help her with guarding and protecting the premises. Since the black dog wanted to accompany her, she decided to bring it along.

Afterward, a strange sight appeared in the town.

A young woman was walking in front, and the large black dog was following behind her. Whenever she stopped, the black dog stopped as well.

The black dog seemed to possess remarkable intelligence. This scene was captured, posted on Weibo, and sparked a lively discussion.

However, the discussion quickly faded away.
