Prodigy Healer Episode 12 Recap
> Prodigy Healer Recap
Qiao Zhen Tian came to Mu Xingchen, explaining he had received an invitation to a Devil's Banquet from Fujiwara. Mu Xingchen advised him to attend the banquet, to remain calm and observe their intentions. While they were discussing, Ye Yunshang arrived and was surprised to see the two men getting along so peacefully and even laughing together.
She asked what they were doing, to which Qiao Zhen Tian quickly diverted the conversation by playfully announcing his intention to pursue her again. Not wanting him to mention their past, Ye Yunshang immediately walked over and linked her arm with Mu Xingchen, declaring that she was now his girlfriend, much to Qiao Zhen Tian's annoyance. Meanwhile, A Gui, a worker at the Ye Clinic, lost all his money gambling at a casino.
He attempted to flee after snatching money from the gambling table but was caught and severely beaten by the casino staff. After they left, a Japanese man with a mustache approached A Gui, offering him a large sum of money. A Gui, seeing the cash, eagerly picked it up. The Japanese man then whispered instructions in his ear, asking him to perform a task for them. Despite his initial reluctance, A Gui agreed for the money.
To prevent further harm from poisonous wasps, Mu Xingchen developed a wasp repellent drug. He explained that spreading the medicine where the wasps were or applying it to one's body would deter them. The Ye Clinic also offered free antidote pills with every purchase of the repellent. Many people eagerly bought the drug, but tragically, several individuals died shortly after taking the accompanying antidote pills. A furious crowd of the deceased's family members gathered outside the Ye Clinic, demanding answers.
Ye Yunshang was bewildered, wondering why the antidote pills, which had previously saved so many, were now causing deaths. Mu Xingchen tried to explain that their medicine could not possibly be at fault, but the distraught families insisted the pills were lethal and wanted them arrested. Just then, Qiao Zhen Tian arrived with the police, stating they had received reports and intended to take Mu Xingchen for questioning. As they moved to apprehend him, Mu Xingchen swiftly escaped.
Determined to uncover the truth, Ye Yunshang and Chu Tianyao decided to perform autopsies before Qiao Zhen Tian could. However, they faced strong resistance from several families who were unwilling to allow examinations of their deceased loved ones. As they despaired, the wife of one of the deceased approached them, willing to cooperate. Ye Yunshang examined the body and concluded that the man died from cardiac arrest, yet he showed no prior symptoms of heart disease.
The blackened nails and lips indicated poisoning. Ye Yunshang extracted the drug components from the deceased's stomach for testing. She discovered the presence of raw wild aconite roots and aconitine, both highly toxic substances that can cause heart paralysis and death. Chu Tianyao deduced that whoever was capable of obtaining these potent ingredients and knew how to administer them must be well-versed in medicine, suspecting the culprit was hiding within a medical clinic.
Upon further investigation, Ye Yunshang found evidence that A Gui had secretly introduced the toxic ingredients into the medicine. Before she could question him about the mastermind, A Gui was suddenly killed by a poison dart launched from a flute-like mechanism. Mu Xingchen chased the assailant but failed to catch them. Before succumbing to the poison, A Gui gasped that an "important person" had instructed him.
Qiao Zhen Tian, upon hearing this, immediately suspected Mu Xingchen and issued an arrest warrant for him. Ye Yunshang presented her investigative findings as evidence to exonerate Mu Xingchen, but Qiao Zhen Tian dismissed them, claiming her evidence was invalid. Frustrated, Ye Yunshang persisted, demanding he take her seriously. Seeing her distress, Qiao Zhen Tian secretly confided in her. He admitted he knew Mu Xingchen was innocent and that their current "conflict" was a ruse to mislead their enemies.
He revealed that he and Mu Xingchen were working together to investigate another important case and assured her that Mu Xingchen would be safe under his protection. Relieved, Ye Yunshang agreed to keep their secret. Elsewhere, the Qiao family was afflicted by a blood curse. Shangguan Qing informed Chief Qiao that the Shenmu Tribe possessed a holy fruit from a Sacred Tree that could break the curse.
Ye Yunshang's father also received an invitation from Shangguan Qing, detailing the Shenmu Tribe's "salvation medicine." He gathered the Ye family's soldiers and, along with Chief Qiao, set off for the mist forest. However, upon their arrival, Shangguan Qing unleashed three-colored poisonous wasps, initiating an attack on the Shenmu Tribe.
A sensitive entity within the Shenmu Tribe named Meijiao sensed the imminent danger and urgently instructed Ye Yunshang to find Mu Xingchen, warning her that a great calamity was befalling the tribe. At a Japanese martial arts hall, Fujiwara was overseeing a training session. Dashan Chuanyue, a renowned karate master, direct disciple of Gongben Zhengxin, and acclaimed as Japan's top fighter, entered with an air of arrogance. He declared his intention to challenge China's martial arts experts.
Unbeknownst to them, Mu Xingchen and Qiao Zhen Tian were observing the scene through binoculars from a hidden vantage point. Suddenly, Dashan Chuanyue's gaze shifted directly towards their hiding spot, as if he had detected their presence.
