Chapter 201: Lord, Jiang Feng Has Arrived!

Hehe, Master!

Huo Siyong sidled up to Jiang Feng, teasing with a gossipy look.

Looks like your relationship with Officer Shen isn't ordinary! Otherwise, why would she be willing to bow to her stepfather, whom she's resisted for so long, for you?

Jiang Feng was momentarily stunned, recalled what Director Lu had just said to Shen Junyao, and instantly understood.

No wonder Director Lu, when he saw her, immediately suggested that she go home for a weekend dinner.

He remembered Shen Junyao's forced expression at the time, and felt a bit moved.

Going home for a weekend dinner is probably a big compromise for her. This time, I truly owe Officer Shen a favor.

That's for sure!

I've heard about Officer Shen! Her biological father used to be Director Lu's subordinate, and they were especially close, but later Shen's uncle fell gravely ill and died without cure.

Officer Shen was only in her teens then, so when her mother was to marry Director Lu, she made a huge fuss, refusing everything, and almost cut ties with her mother!

Even now, she hasn't forgiven her mother, rarely interacts with Director Lu, let alone goes home for meals. This time, to save you, she truly made an exception!

Su Xueyan heard that, and a solemn Divine expression appeared on her face.

So that's how it is; we really must thank Officer Shen properly. This debt is too heavy.

Exactly!

Old Master Hua Jing also echoed.

Officer Shen, that girl, has a kind heart and values loyalty!

As they were talking, Old Master Hua Jing turned to head to the pharmacy to check if any herbs were missing, but after only two steps he shouted in alarm.

Hua Lao bent down, picked up the brocade box on the ground, opened it, and his complexion changed instantly.

Jiang Feng! Come quickly! Has this Hundred-year Ginseng been broken by them? This is a flagship treasure of our Ji Shi Tang!

Everyone rushed over, and saw that the Hundred-year Ginseng in the brocade box had already split open with a long crack.

The once plump root had become shriveled, the strong medicinal scent had faded by more than half, clearly its vital Qi had leaked, rendering it completely useless.

This ginseng was a treasure that Old Master Hua Jing had saved all his life.

He rarely used it, only employing it to hang on to the lives of critically ill patients; its value is at least a million.

These damn bastards!

Old Master Hua Jing was so angry his hands trembled.

A fine treasure, and they ruined it like this! It must have been broken when they handled things too roughly!

Jiang Feng picked up the ginseng, examined it carefully, then looked up at Old Master Hua Jing, his tone apologetic.

Hua Lao, I'm sorry; it's all because of me that you lost such a valuable item. Rest assured, I'll compensate you for this ginseng.

Ah, this has nothing to do with you!

Old Master Hua Jing quickly waved his hand, his eyes already reddened.

If you want to blame anyone, blame Wang Kun and Sikong Tu, those two bastards! They brought people to smash and ransack; it has nothing to do with you! No need for you to compensate!

No way…

Jiang Feng's tone was firm, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Everyone should pay the price for their actions.

He turned his head toward Huo Siyong.

Si Yong, can you find Wang Kun's phone number?

Of course I can!

Huo Siyong immediately took out her phone and quickly sent several messages.

She is the little princess of the Huo family; among her acquaintances she can casually find several children of Jiangnan's top officials.

Soon, Huo Siyong held up her phone.

Found it!

Jiang Feng took the phone and directly dialed Wang Kun's number.

The phone rang several times before being answered, and Wang Kun's crying voice came through the receiver.

Hello… who is this?

I'm Jiang Feng.

When Wang Kun heard those two words, he instantly cleared up, and his tone immediately became extremely respectful.

Mr. Jiang! It's you! Are you willing to plead with Director Lu for me? As long as you help me, you can make me do whatever…

Forget about pleading.

Jiang Feng cut him off directly.

I'm telling you, in Ji Shi Tang we have a Hundred-year Ginseng that was broken when your Medical and Pharmaceutical Bureau staff searched, its vital Qi leaked, and it's now useless.

Wang Kun was startled, his heart jolted.

Mr. Jiang! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! This is all my fault! Rest assured, I'll compensate for the ginseng! I will definitely compensate! Even if I have to ruin my whole family…

He now feared Jiang Feng would hold a grudge, eager for a chance to make amends, so upon hearing about compensating the ginseng, he readily agreed.

Besides, a Hundred-year Ginseng is only one million, which is nothing to him…

Jiang Feng hadn't expected him to be so eager, paused, and said.

I give you three days; within three days, you must deliver an intact Hundred-year Ginseng to Ji Shi Tang.

I can do it! I will definitely do it!

Wang Kun hurriedly replied, fearing Jiang Feng would hang up.

Mr. Jiang, let me tell you something; it might help you get the ginseng faster!

Oh?

Wang Kun's voice lowered a bit.

Sikong Tu happened to have a Hundred-year Ginseng in his hand, which was bestowed by the National Medical Hall! He was the one who started this whole thing, so making him pay for the Ginseng is only fitting!

He hated Sikong Tu's act of selling a teammate to the utmost.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Feng said lightly, "Where is he?"

"Jiangnan Wangfu! He's here this time to treat the Jiangnan Wang..."

"Got it..."

Jiang Feng said that and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, inside the Study of Jiangnan Prince's Mansion.

Jiangnan Wang sat on a Chair covered with a soft cushion, his complexion still bearing a hint of pallor.

On the Table before him lay a bowl of freshly fried Decoction, steaming with gentle heat.

Sikong Tu stood opposite him, holding a silver needle in his hand, carefully taking Jiangnan Wang's pulse, a trace of ingratiating smile on his face.

After a moment, Sikong Tu withdrew the silver needle, and with a bow to Jiangnan Wang said.

"Prince, congratulations! Your ailment has improved considerably compared to when you were in Jingcheng! The stagnant Qi inside you has largely dissipated, and the Meridians are much smoother. As long as you persist in taking the Decoction I prescribed, combined with acupuncture therapy, it won't be long before you are completely cured!"

Jiangnan Wang, hearing this, lifted the corner of his mouth in a faint smile, his tone even.

"You've worked hard, Sikong Sir. Coming all the way from Jingcheng, and still having to trouble this Prince..."

"Prince, you are being modest. It is my honor, as an old man, to relieve your worries."

Jiangnan Wang lifted the Decoction on the Table, drank it in one gulp, and set the bowl down.

"Sikong Sir, your medical skill is outstanding; naturally this Prince will not shortchange you. What reward do you desire? Anything this Prince can arrange, I will fulfill for you."

Sikong Tu's eyes flickered briefly, a hesitant expression appearing on his face, as if weighing something.

Jiangnan Wang, seeing this, raised an eyebrow and said.

"What is it? Does Sikong Sir have something unspeakable?"

"Prince..."

Sikong Tu took a deep breath, bowed to Jiangnan Wang and said.

"I, an old man, desire no gold or silver or jewels, nor any official rank or title; I only ask that the Prince grant me authority!"

Jiangnan Wang, somewhat surprised, asked curiously.

"Oh? What matter does Sikong Sir have that requires this Prince to decide for you?"

Sikong Tu lifted his head, his eyes full of resentment, and gritted his teeth as he said.

"Prince, there is something you do not know; this old man, in Jiangcheng, was confronted by a..."

At that moment, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and the steward Si Jiannan hurried in.

Si Jiannan bowed to Jiangnan Wang and performed the salute.

"Prince. Jiang Feng has arrived, just outside the door..."
