Chapter 836: Chapter 833: Troubles of Origin

The two cars stopped in front of a building, and Lin Tian and a few others walked into the building with Shu Junwu.

"This is the company’s cold storage warehouse, where all the rare medicinal herbs are kept," Shu Junwu introduced as they walked in.

"Is the entire building a storage warehouse?" Lin Tian asked.

Shu Junwu nodded and replied, "Yes, the Xiao Family’s biopharmaceuticals have been established for some years, and there’s still a large stock of rare medicinal herbs. In fact, we just entered from the front door; there’s another entrance at the back, which is a cargo passage."

The first floor was a lobby, with a window on the right side where the warehouse was managed. Of course, the cold storage for rare medicinal herbs is different from ordinary warehouses, so the management must be professional.

Lin Tian could see the manager monitoring the computer screen, which displayed a lot of data. If he guessed correctly, these data included the temperature, humidity, and air pressure of the cold storage.

Because he had seen it once at a shrine in Japan, the warehouse there was very modern, and many medicinal herbs have very high environmental requirements. A slight oversight could lead to a continuous loss of efficacy.

The managers were a few young women and men, along with an older lady who likely held a supervisory position. Shu Junwu’s appearance immediately caught their attention.

Seeing the district general manager of their own company suddenly appear, the managers were very surprised; clearly, they didn’t expect the boss to visit the storage warehouse.

Usually, the general manager’s inspections are pre-planned, and the company would make preparations, but they hadn’t heard any news, and the boss just appeared suddenly.

However, the young ladies were more interested in the few people behind the boss, two young men, one tall and handsome, the other delicate and pretty, and an old man.

The old man was too inconspicuous, and they automatically ignored him; they were curious about who those two young men were, who warranted the company of the district general manager.

"The tall one is so handsome, I wonder who he is, to have the boss personally receive him," a young woman whispered.

"The other looks like a girl, sob, sob, he’s prettier than me..." another rather pretty female manager said, very upset.

The supervisor glared at these young female subordinates to stop them from speaking out of turn, then opened the door to welcome the boss and Lin Tian and others inside.

"Hello, President Shu, what instructions do you have?" the supervisor asked politely.

Shu Junwu was just about to say something when he remembered he didn’t know which medicinal herbs Yun Xiaotian needed, so he turned around and asked, "Mr. Yun, which herbs do you need? I’ll have them searched in the system to see how many meet your requirements."

Yun Xiaotian took a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Shu Junwu, and said, "These are the herbs I need."

Shu Junwu took a glance at the paper, then handed it to the supervisor, saying, "Have someone check if our warehouse has these herbs, and if so, what the quantity is."

"Alright, please wait a moment," the supervisor said as she carefully reviewed the names of the herbs and started searching herself.

The storage was like a library; every entry had a record, forming an information directory of the stored items. With the computerized system, efficiency was high, and the supervisor quickly typed a few keystrokes, and the relevant information appeared.

"President Shu, all the herbs written on the paper are available. A few days ago, President Xiao shipped in a batch of herbs, and those herbs were part of that batch, and we still have some left," the supervisor said quickly.

"Great, arrange for each herb on the paper to be filled into a safe box, and have it brought here," Shu Junwu instructed without any fuss.

The supervisor was efficient; she pressed the earpiece and said a few words, essentially to retrieve the herbs from storage and bring them to the first floor.

It didn’t take long before several staff members came down, four in total, each carrying a large safe box.

The staff members were also surprised to see Shu Junwu, as they didn’t expect to see the boss in the warehouse. However, like the female managers, they were more interested in Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian.

"Mr. Yun, please see if these are the herbs," Shu Junwu had them place the safe boxes on the table and open them, then turned to ask.

Yun Xiaotian quickly scanned the items, his eyes suddenly showing immense joy. He had been searching for these herbs for over a month without success—these herbs were needed annually, yet harder to find each year.

This time, he heard that Lin Tian had acquired a batch, which drew him here, though he couldn’t have imagined they actually had them.

"Brother Lin, it’s all thanks to you; if it weren’t for you bringing these herbs back from Japan, I might not have found them even after another month’s search. The Yun Family owes you a big favor," Yun Xiaotian said gratefully.

Lin Tian waved his hand casually, saying, "Don’t mention owing favors. These herbs are for treating and saving lives. If they can be put to good use, then my efforts haven’t been in vain."

"However..." Lin Tian hesitated and then said, "Continuing like this isn’t a solution; rare medicinal herbs can be impossible to find at times, so what will you do for your grandfather then?"

"Let’s just get through this year for now. The current prescription only treats the symptoms but not the root causes, which is why I need Brother Lin’s medical expertise. I hope Brother Lin can accompany me to Jinghua City to see my grandfather; maybe a miracle will happen."

"I’ve always thought of Brother Lin as someone who creates miracles," Yun Xiaotian invited again, full of hope. He had also invited him at the opening ceremony of Tianxue Jewelry.

Lin Tian glanced at the female managers listening with perked ears, curious, and said to Yun Xiaotian, "Let’s talk in the car; let’s head out first."

Yun Xiaotian realized he almost revealed his identity, so he had to leave with Lin Tian— the herbs were carried by the staff, leaving behind a group of excited girls.

After loading the herbs into the bulletproof Cadillac and saying goodbye to Shu Junwu, Yun Xiaotian, and the old man, Wang still rode in Lin Tian’s car. This time, retrieving the herbs was unexpectedly smooth.

"Brother Lin, have you thought it over?" Yun Xiaotian couldn’t help but ask after driving a few kilometers.

Lin Tian didn’t immediately agree but said lightly, "You inviting me to the Yun Family probably isn’t just about treating your grandfather’s illness, is it?"

"To be honest, Brother Lin, I told my grandpa and parents about you, and they too think you might be my brother, so..." Yun Xiaotian said with some difficulty.

"So, this might also be a reunion meeting?" Lin Tian said, his voice betraying no perceivable emotion.

Yun Xiaotian couldn’t figure out Lin Tian’s thoughts, cautiously saying, "Brother Lin, I know, suddenly asking you to accept these things can be difficult and troubling, but it indeed concerns your background; don’t you want to know, Brother Lin?"
