Chapter 169: The Wealthy Zhou Family
Hearing Lei Dong's words, Zhou Zhitian's brows furrowed tightly, but he did not say much, instead speculating on Lin Feng's identity in his heart.
Lin Feng said directly, "I offer ten million to purchase it."
"No..." Zhou Zhitian shook his head and said.
"Fifty million," Lin Feng said again.
"Mr. Lin, you are making things difficult for me." Zhou Zhitian refused again.
"One hundred million!" Lin Feng said heavily.
Zhou Zhitian probably did not expect Lin Feng to be able to spend money like water; he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, yet he still did not agree.
"Mr. Lin, please stop joking. The Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass is priceless and cannot be bought with money at all."
"One billion, this is my bottom line!" Lin Feng said with sonorous force.
Before Zhou Zhitian could speak, Lei Dong said, "Head of the Zhou Family, listen to my advice. Although the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass is precious, one billion already exceeds its value. Just sell it to Mr. Lin straightforwardly, will you!"
"We are old friends who have known each other for many years; would I harm you?"
Lei Dong's words made Zhou Zhitian feel even more uneasy.
Could it be that this young man, who looked ordinary and was dressed in cheap clothes, really had a grand background?
"What is your answer?" Lin Feng asked.
Zhou Zhitian was very hesitant in his heart, and only after a long while did he finally say, "Mr. Lin, forgive me, I cannot..."
"Fine, I will play the villain for once today!"
As soon as Lin Feng said these words, Zhou Zhitian's heart jumped wildly, and he immediately felt that something was terribly wrong.
But it was already too late!
Lin Feng suddenly threw a punch, heading straight for his chest. Seeing this, Zhou Zhitian hurriedly raised his hands to block and unleashed his Protective True Qi.
However, with just one punch, Lin Feng shattered Zhou Zhitian's Protective True Qi, sending him flying backward and causing him to spray blood from his mouth!
Lin Feng did not stop there; he chased after him, grabbed Zhou Zhitian by the throat, and lifted his entire body up.
"How dare you, you thief!"
An aged, thunderous shout came from the depths of the Zhou Family courtyard, and the next moment, three auras swept over.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three figures appeared simultaneously, and as soon as they showed themselves, they attacked Lin Feng directly.
Lei Dong shouted, "Mr. Lin, be careful! They are the guest retainers of the Zhou Family, and they are all at the Martial Venerable realm!"
"Mere ants, not worth fearing!"
Lin Feng said disdainfully, raising his blood-stained left hand to point three times in succession, breaking the Martial Skills of the three Zhou Family guest retainers and knocking them back directly!
The Head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Zhitian, and the three Zhou Family guest retainers were all stunned!
The strength Lin Feng displayed made them feel terrified; they were simply no match for Lin Feng!
"Now, have someone bring out the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass, otherwise, don't expect to see tomorrow's sun!" Lin Feng said coldly.
Zhou Zhitian was incomparably furious and said with difficulty, "Lei Dong... you... as the Jinling General Captain... you are leading people to commit violence... do you have no shame..."
Lei Dong felt very bitter inside.
Although he was the General Captain of the Dragon Soul and could be said to have the final say in Jinling.
Yet in front of Lin Feng, he, this General Captain, was simply not worth mentioning!
"Zhou Zhitian, I beg you, will you? Hurry up and tell someone to bring out the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass! Mr. Lin is also forced into this; his younger sister is waiting for the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass to save her life right now!" Lei Dong said as if begging for mercy.
Just as Zhou Zhitian wanted to say something else, a woman's cry suddenly came from the villa.
"Stop, don't hurt my husband..."
A beautiful woman holding an infant ran out of the villa, her face pale with fright, stumbling and nearly falling.
And as soon as Lin Feng saw her, he revealed a look of surprise.
Because this beautiful woman was none other than the pregnant woman he had helped deliver on the high-speed train!
"So it is you," Lin Feng said.
"Bene... Benefactor, it is actually you, how did you..." the beautiful woman said in shock.
Seeing this beautiful woman, Lin Feng's heart softened after all, and the force in his hand lightened accordingly.
Zhou Zhitian finally seized the opportunity to forcibly break free, grabbed the beautiful woman's hand, and retreated more than ten meters, keeping his distance from Lin Feng with a vigilant expression.
"Husband, stop quickly, he is the person who helped me on the high-speed train! If it weren't for him, neither I nor the child would have survived!" the beautiful woman said urgently.
"What did you say?" Zhou Zhitian's expression changed again and again.
"Everything I said is true, it is him, I did not recognize him wrong," the beautiful woman said hurriedly.
Zhou Zhitian's mood was truly extremely complicated.
Last night, he had repeatedly said that he must help his wife find the Divine Doctor who had lent a helping hand on the high-speed train and reward him heavily.
As it turned out now... it was truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple; members of the same family failing to recognize each other!
Lei Dong also asked, "Mr. Lin, do you know the Head of the Zhou Family's wife, Cheng Shishi?"
"I took the high-speed train to Jinling last night, and she went into emergency labor on the train. It was I who helped her give birth to the child," Lin Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Lei Dong was overjoyed and immediately shouted to Zhou Zhitian, "Head of the Zhou Family, Mr. Lin is the life-saving benefactor of your wife and daughter. With such a great favor, are you still unwilling to bring out the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass now?"
Zhou Zhitian's expression shifted between light and shadow, and he remained silent.
Cheng Shishi said urgently, "Husband, just agree to it. Are the lives of our mother and child not worth as much as a medicinal herb? Besides, you are not his match anyway!"
"Shut up, what would a woman like you know!"
Zhou Zhitian scolded, then straightened his disheveled clothes, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked over with large strides.
When he reached Lin Feng, Zhou Zhitian bowed and said, "Many thanks to Mr. Lin for lending a helping hand last night to save my wife's life. I am deeply grateful."
"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to give me the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass or not?" Lin Feng asked.
Zhou Zhitian sighed and said, "Since you, Mr. Lin, are determined to have the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass, I will give it to you now, but once the medicinal herb is given to you, my Zhou Family will owe you nothing from now on."
Afterwards, Zhou Zhitian called for the housekeeper to go and retrieve the medicinal herb.
A few minutes later, a small, exquisite box landed in Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng opened the box, and a small, deep purple herb appeared before him, with a rich medicinal fragrance rushing toward his face.
Lin Feng checked it several times, confirming that the medicinal herb before him was indeed the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass, and it was preserved quite well, with the medicinal essence not having been lost.
So he nodded and said, "Not bad, it is indeed the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass. Many thanks to the Head of the Zhou Family for gifting the medicine; we shall meet again!"
Hearing the words "gifting the medicine," the corners of Zhou Zhitian's mouth twitched wildly.
Lei Dong breathed a sigh of relief, his hanging heart finally settling down.
After coming out of the Zhou Family, Lin Feng returned to the hotel without stopping, and Lei Dong followed him the entire way.
Lei Dong even called over thirty members of the Divine Dragon Guard to completely seal off the entire hotel to prevent any accidents from happening.
In the luxury suite, Lin Feng had already cleaned the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass and was preparing to extract the medicinal essence within it.
Lei Dong asked with concern, "Do you need me to call someone to help? The pharmacists of our Dragon Soul..."
"No need, I can do it myself," Lin Feng said.
