Physician’s Odyssey

Although they mixed into the representative group, Su Tao realised that this was a rare chance. Everyone here was a representative of China's business world. Perhaps they might not be on China's Wealthy Hurun List or Forbes List, but they're definitely cornerstones of China's economy.

Yue Zun was familiar with the representatives here, so he took the opportunity to introduce them to Su Tao whenever there's an opportunity.

Su Tao maintained his calm when he conversed with the representatives. At the same time, he was pondering that if he managed to invite these people over to attend Qihuang Charity Funds' Charity Auction, he would be able to satisfy Qin Meimei and Lu Shimiao while bringing the standard of the auction to a whole new level.

Although the representatives held a high status, they also displayed high inner qualities since they did not look down on Su Tao because of his age.

They knew that for Su Tao to enter the National Healer Specialist Team at such a young age, he definitely did not rely on medical skills alone, he must have a shocking backing as well.

After Su Tao briefly chatted with Yue Zun in the room, he found an excuse to leave. Jiang Qinghan was already waiting for him outside his room. Opening the door, Su Tao smiled. "Master, have you noticed? Many people were noticing you today."

"Why would they notice me?" Jiang Qinghan frowned in surprise.

"They were naturally captivated by your beauty!" Su Tao spoke the truth. Aside from some beauties from the translation team, Jiang Qinghan's beauty was one of the best. Even the few bodyguards from Zhongnanhai had occasionally turned their attention to her.

Truth be told, Su Tao was somewhat worried since everyone in the representative group was wealthy and powerful. If she caught any of their eyes, that would practically mean that he would have a potential competitor.

"I can't be bothered with your nonsense!" Jiang Qinghan rolled her eyes at Su Tao and continued, "Now that we're here in Russia, I intend to move out alone."

Shaking his finger, Su Tao revealed a wry smile since Jiang Qinghan had simplified this matter a little too much.

Jiang Qinghan was currently not herself. When she got to know that Yan Sun was still alive, her heart was thrown into turmoil, and her ability to judge and differentiate had significantly fallen.

Locking her brows together, Jiang Qinghan knew that Su Tao was doubting her so she said, "The representative team will only stay in Russia for half a month. Time isn't enough!"

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao tried his best to calm Jiang Qinghan down.

"I know that you're anxious in your heart, but there are some things that are useless to be anxious about. You have to find a better method. Russia is much larger than China in terms of land size, so how are you going to search for Yan Sun here?"

Gnashing her teeth, Jiang Qinghan replied, "But we can't possibly sit here and do nothing, right?"

Gently letting out a breath, Su Tao replied, "You only need to wait right now. I will get someone to search for his tracks and determine his location."

Hearing his words, Jiang Qinghan froze. She felt powerless.

"Perhaps you're right, and I should change my mentality." Jiang Qinghan knew that she had lost her composure.

Nodding his head, Su Tao glanced at his watch and said, "It's about time for my friend to arrive. After you meet her, I'm sure that you won't be so anxious anymore."

At this moment, the doorbell rang so Su Tao swiftly opened the door. The moment the door was opened, a burst of fragrance instantly dove into his embrace that caught him by surprise before he was frantically assaulted on his cheeks…

"Su, I missed you so much!" Vera passionately vented out all the emotions kept in her heart and did not realise that there was someone else in the room looking at them, stunned.

"Vera, calm down!"

Although Su Tao enjoyed the kisses, he instantly panicked since Jiang Qinghan was still in the room.

When Jiang Qinghan coughed out to conceal the awkwardness, Vera widened her eyes in shock and muttered, "Oh… I was too excited!"

Holding onto Vera's hand, Su Tao walked to the desk and got her to sit on the couch before he weakly explained to Jiang Qinghan, "This is my friend, Ms. Vera, and this is my master, Jiang Qinghan. Uh… Vera did that as it was an etiquette in Russia's upper society."

Despite his explanation, Jiang Qinghan found it funny in her heart. She knew that her disciple had several lovers, and hence, she wasn't surprised. But was he treating her as a three-year-old kid with such an excuse?

Taking a few napkins, Jiang Qinghan handed them to Su Tao and smiled. "Clean your face!"

Thereafter, she pointed her finger at her own cheeks to gesture Su Tao.

Even Vera found Su Tao's face a little funny as she secretly chuckled.

Inwardly letting out a sigh, Su Tao wiped his face and changed the topic, "Vera, I've already told you the situation. My trip to Russia this time is mainly to find someone; his name is Yan Sun, and he's thirty-eight this year. He's extremely skilled, and he was once a secret agent in China."

"Just this information isn't enough! Do you have more information about him? Such as his photos or something else." Vera sighed.

"Here!" Jiang Qinghan took out the document that Gu Yang gave her and handed it over. "This includes his recent photos, and at the same time, he had also once appeared in Saint Petersburg and Moscow."

Flipping through the document, Vera read through it before she smiled. "It will be much easier with his photo. If he's in Russia, I'm 80% confident that we can find him."

"How long do we need?" Jiang Qinghan was more concerned about the time needed. After all, they're only here in Russia for a limited period.

"One week!" Vera briefly paused before she continued, "If we can't find him in a week, then that means that he's no longer in Russia."

Hearing her words, Jiang Qinghan took a deep breath. She did not like having her fate left in someone else's hands, but there was nothing she could do right now and could only helplessly reply, "Then, I'll be troubling you!"

Jiang Qinghan was an understanding person. She knew that Vera and Su Tao had some personal matters to talk about, so she left.

When she came out of the room, Jiang Qinghan instantly felt empty in her heart. She made a note in her heart that she had to warn Yan Sha when she returned so that her innocent daughter wouldn't fall for Su Tao deeper and be hurt in the future. When she returned to her room, she wanted to take a shower. However, she only recovered from her blank state when the water in the bathtub was spilling out and she cursed herself why she was so distracted!

Closing the door, Su Tao immediately felt a soft sensation coming from his back. Vera was hugging him from behind and her charming voice resounded, "Su, I'm sorry, but I only have ten minutes. I will have to leave soon."

"What's wrong?" Su Tao asked as he turned around.

Wearing a bitter smile on her lips, Vera replied, "I'm sorry that I kept it from you. After I returned to Russia, I was put under house arrest by my father. He demanded me to cut contact with you. This is also the reason why I wasn't able to return to China."

It's not that Vera did not want to look for Su Tao, but she lost her freedom.

Instantly, Su Tao realised what was happening with her explanation. It had been months since the two of them met, and he had his suspicions several times, which he called Vera. However, Vera hid the truth from him all this time out of fear that he would be worried.

Seeing the changes in Su Tao's expression, Vera placed her finger on his lips and nodded her head. "What are you staring at a blank space for? I only have ten minutes or my father will definitely be here to bring me back."

But what could they do in ten minutes?

As the two of them looked in each other's eyes, Su Tao instantly read her desire through the bashfulness in her eyes.

Seeing the resolution and desire in his eyes, Vera's heart also softened.

No words could describe the longing that they had for each other, but their body contact would allow them to understand each other's admiration.

Finally, Su Tao recovered and he swiftly removed his clothes. At the same time, Vera also became wild as she also did the same...

A brief moment later, she wasn't wearing any clothes. Her body permeated with charm under the dusky light.

Occasionally, love didn't mean that the longer a couple was together, the better it was. It's just like basketball's Garbage time. There was no outcome, no romance, and no excitement. It's only a waste of time and life.

On the contrary, a moment of desire and joy tended to win against everything.

Ten minutes was equivalent to six hundred seconds, and for a person to breathe six hundred times. As the two of them treasured the time that they had, they felt as if they had gone through several lifetimes together.

When the two of them wore their clothes and sat up, the doorbell rang with the door violently knocked.

Turning to Su Tao, Vera wore a bitter smile. "My beloved Su, I have to go now. Thank you for leaving me with an unforgettable memory."

Su Tao gave a self-mocking smile as that brief moment should be his happiest moment in life. At the same time, it was also the best moment engraved in his heart.

As the doorbell became even more violent, the hotel security had also noticed that something was amiss. Just when he wanted to step forth, he was dragged by the collar by a robust man and was pushed to the wall.

Just when the other man wanted to knock the door open, the door was opened right at that moment and Vera coldly swept her gaze over before she questioned in Russian, "What are you guys doing?"

"We're here to bring you back." The bodyguard replied with a bitter smile.

Turning around, Vera gave a deep glance at Su Tao before she bade her farewell, "I'm off now!"

But before she left, she winked her eyes at Su Tao, signalling that she would definitely come looking for him if there's an opportunity.

Looking at Vera's silhouette, Su Tao suddenly felt that this world was unfamiliar since everything didn't seem to be under his control. In the end, he was still too weak.
