Chapter 19: Cured

The Medical Immortal watched from the side, dumbfounded; he had practiced medicine for decades and had never seen such magical medical arts. He walked tremblingly to Tang Yun and said excitedly: "Young Master Tang, your... your medical arts... are simply miraculous!"

Tang Yun smiled modestly: "Just lucky."

After leaving the hospital, Lin Xiyue's mood remained very low.

"Xiyue, what's wrong? Are you still worried about me?" Tang Yun asked with concern.

Lin Xiyue shook her head, wanting to speak but stopping.

"If there's something, just say it; don't keep it bottled up inside." Tang Yun said.

Lin Xiyue bit her lip and said: "Tang Yun, I... my Lin family is in trouble."

"What happened?" Tang Yun asked hurriedly.

"Our Lin family... our Lin family's spice business... was framed by someone, saying... saying that we were selling fake spices..." As Lin Xiyue spoke, tears flowed down again.

Tang Yun frowned. The Lin family was a century-old spice family that had always been based on integrity; how could they sell fake spices?

"What exactly happened? Tell me slowly." Tang Yun comforted her.

Lin Xiyue choked with sobs and said: "Some time ago, a batch of spices counterfeiting our Lin family brand suddenly appeared on the market. Not only was the price low, but the quality was also poor, seriously damaging our Lin family's reputation... Now... now many customers have canceled their orders, and the Lin family... the Lin family is about to collapse..."

After hearing this, Tang Yun's expression also became solemn. This was clearly someone deliberately targeting the Lin family, wanting to bring them down.

"Don't worry, I will help you." Tang Yun said firmly.

"Really? Tang Yun, thank you!" Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun gratefully.

"Let's go to the market first to see those fake spices." Tang Yun said.

The two arrived at the largest spice market in the Capital and found a stall selling fake Lin family spices in an inconspicuous corner.

Tang Yun carefully observed these fake spices and found that although their appearance was similar to the Lin family's spices, the scent was clearly different.

"Boss, how do you sell these spices?" Tang Yun asked.

The stall owner looked Tang Yun up and down and said: "Sir, you have a good eye. These spices of mine are authentic Lin family spices, cheap in price and good in quality. Would you like some?"

Tang Yun sneered: "Authentic Lin family spices? Who are you trying to fool? These spices are clearly fake!"

The stall owner's expression changed, his eyes flickering: "Sir, you... you shouldn't talk nonsense. These... these are authentic Lin family spices..."

"Is that so? Then tell me, what raw materials are these spices made of?" Tang Yun pressed step by step.

The stall owner stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Hmph, I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Tang Yun grabbed the stall owner by the collar. "Speak! Who instructed you to sell fake spices?"

The stall owner was so scared that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "I... I'll talk... it's... it's the Zhao family... the Zhao family instructed me..."

"The Zhao family?" Tang Yun frowned. The Zhao family was another spice family in the Capital and had always been a competitor of the Lin family.

"How much money did they give you?" Tang Yun continued to ask.

"Five... fifty thousand..." The stall owner said tremblingly.

Tang Yun sneered; it seemed the Zhao family had really spent a fortune to bring down the Lin family.

"Xiyue, let's go." Tang Yun pulled Lin Xiyue and left the spice market.

Back in the car, Lin Xiyue asked with a worried face: "Tang Yun, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry, I already have a way." Tang Yun smiled mysteriously.

The news that Tang Yun was buying spices at a high price soon spread throughout the business world of the Capital.

"Is that kid Tang Yun's brain broken? Actually spending a high price to buy fake spices?"

"Who knows? Maybe he has some other plans."

"I think he was probably tricked by that old fox Liu Tianba!"

Various discussions were endless.

Liu Tianba, the spice king of the Capital, was insidious, cunning, ruthless, and vicious.

He used fake spices to earn huge profits, but harmed countless common people.

Tang Yun's move was undoubtedly challenging Liu Tianba's authority.

However, Tang Yun didn't care about these rumors at all.

He secretly sent people to spread the rumor of "Western Regions Strange Poison" in the black market.

This rumor pointed directly at the Liu family's fake spices.

Sure enough, after hearing this rumor, Liu Tianba panicked.

He was worried that the matter of the fake spices would be exposed and affect his business, so he decided to sell off all his stock of fake spices at a low price.

After Tang Yun learned of this news, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The fish has taken the bait."

The transaction location was set at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Night fell, and the dim streetlights stretched the shadow of the warehouse long, revealing a gloomy and eerie atmosphere. Tang Yun and Lin Xiyue sat in the car, observing the movements of the warehouse from afar.

"Tang Yun, are you sure Liu Tianba will come?" Lin Xiyue asked somewhat nervously, her fingers tightly clutching the corner of her clothes.

Tang Yun chuckled, his eyes revealing a confident light: "Don't worry, he can't run. If he dares not to come, I will spread the rumor of 'Western Regions Strange Poison' even more realistically, letting his Liu family spices rot in his hands."

As soon as the words fell, several black sedans roared over and stopped at the entrance of the warehouse. The doors opened, and Liu Tianba walked down with several black-clothed bodyguards, a subtle nervousness on his face.

Tang Yun and Lin Xiyue looked at each other, pushed open the car doors, and walked down.

"Boss Liu, long time no see." Tang Yun's tone was relaxed, as if he were just here to catch up.

Liu Tianba pulled the corners of his mouth in a fake smile: "Young Master Tang, you really have a big hand, actually spending a high price to buy my fake spices."

"Likewise, Boss Liu's fake spices have also made me quite a bit of money." Tang Yun smiled meaningfully.

Liu Tianba's expression changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly: This kid is really impervious to reason!

"Cut the crap, where are the goods?" Tang Yun got straight to the point.

Liu Tianba waved his hand, and the warehouse door slowly opened. They saw the warehouse piled full of sacks, bulging, looking as if they were filled with spices.

"Young Master Tang, inspect the goods." Liu Tianba said generously.

Tang Yun stepped forward, picked a few sacks at random, untied them, and saw that they were actually all stones!

"Liu Tianba, are you playing me?" Tang Yun's expression suddenly sank, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Liu Tianba laughed loudly, as if he had heard some funny joke: "Young Master Tang, all is fair in war. You thought I would obediently sell the spices to you? You are too naive!"

Just then, Lin Zhendong suddenly walked out of the warehouse, holding a gun in his hand, pointing it at Tang Yun's head.

"Tang Yun, didn't expect it, we meet again." Lin Zhendong had a ferocious smile on his face.

Lin Xiyue exclaimed: "Brother Zhendong, you... how could you be here?"

Lin Zhendong sneered: "Xiyue, you were tricked by him! He wasn't helping you sincerely at all; he just wanted to use you to bring down the Lin family!" ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
