Su Tao did not know that a plot was brewing against him. He was still focused on preparing for the National Healer Selection.
However, he did not expect that because of his blank origin, he would encounter a setback in the first phrase.
According to the National Healer Selection's rules, there would be an examination phase within two weeks after the application was filed.
The examination was the same as other examinations, with the candidates' backgrounds being investigated. Furthermore, it was stricter since they would investigate the candidates' families.
If your family had an oversea experience, a criminal record, involved in gambling, drug-taking, or was involved in major diseases, the candidates would have their qualifications eliminated.
Su Tao's résumé was simple, so there was nothing to be investigated.
His grandfather, Su Guangsheng, was an ordinary physician in Hanzhou City who acc.u.mulated positive public praise. His parents pa.s.sed away in an accident twenty years ago, leaving him behind.
The only thing that cannot be explained was his missing background for the past ten years, in which the examination committee fell into a dilemma.
Hence, the committee gave Su Tao a call for him to prepare information for that. Although he had the Shui Family acting as his guarantor, he still had to make an explanation.
The reason for that was simple, every National Healer Grandmaster would serve senior officials. For those in ancient times, any problem that arose would result in their a.s.sets being confiscated, and family exterminated. Even in modern times, they would also be implicated in jail sentences. Thus, no one dared to be negligent.
Even with Sire Shui and Sire Cao acting as guarantors, Su Tao still had to make an explanation for his history to prove his qualification to partic.i.p.ate in the National Healer Selection.
However, Su Tao couldn't be truthful about his history and could only come up with a lie. He explained that he spent ten years in a remote village, and due to his parent's pa.s.sing, he grew up with his aunt.
Although it was only a formality, the committee did make an investigation and discovered that Su Tao did have an aunt that he had no blood relations with. She was an adopted daughter of Su Guangsheng and remained single throughout her lifetime and was also a famous female divine physician.
With that resolved, he soon encountered another setback when he received a call from Shui Junzhuo.
"There's a problem! Are you home right now?" Shui Junzhuo solemnly said.
"I am!" Su Tao replied in perplexion as he locked his brows together. But he soon noticed that Shui Junzhuo was outside his apartment, so he went and opened the door for her.
Shui Junzhuo rushed in and saw Kim Jung-yeon typing on the keyboard in the smaller bedroom. She then sighed and wryly smiled. "I need an explanation. Why is there a woman here?"
With Shui Junzhuo's character, it's impossible for her to act out in this manner, even if she was jealous.
Thus, Su Tao furrowed his brows and bitterly smiled. "She came over from South Korea a few days ago, and you should know that she's the administrator behind my fan club. So I can't possibly keep her out, right?"
"Looks like you still have no idea about how serious this matter has become." Shui Junzhuo took out her phone and tapped on the screen before pa.s.sing it over to Su Tao.
While looking at her phone, Su Tao soon locked his brows together.
