Chapter 178: Dealing with the Huo Family
Having heard his father's words, Huo Zhidong didn't dare say more.
He came before Lin Yang, bowed his head, and said.
"Mr. Lin, I was wrong."
Lin Yang smiled slightly and said to Huo Zhidong.
"It's fine, I already got the money, I've forgiven you."
Huo Zhidong felt a surge of gloom—that was five hundred million.
Although the family agreed to give it, half of the money also came out of his own account.
The key point is, this is only a one-time consultation fee.
Huo Lao Yezi looked at Lin Yang and said with a chuckle.
"Mr. Lin, you're truly accomplished at a young age."
"You're young, yet your medical skill is superb, and you're also a Xuánmén Person."
Upon hearing Huo Lao Yezi mention a Xuánmén Person, a flash of fervor crossed his eyes.
Lin Yang understood what he was thinking.
"Old sir, I previously wrote a prescription for the Huo family head."
"As long as he gathers the ingredients on the prescription, I can refine pills for you to extend your life."
At Huo Lao Yezi's position, all he thinks about is extending his life, living a few more years, and doing so with dignity.
Therefore, while he was still normal, he began seeking Xuánmén People.
Upon hearing Lin Yang say this, he became even more excited.
"Good, our Huo Family will fully cooperate with Mr. Lin!"
"As long as Mr. Lin says what he needs, we will certainly produce whatever we can!"
Then, in a deep voice, he said to his two sons.
"From now on, Mr. Lin will be an honored guest of our Huo Family; you should show more respect to Mr. Huo!"
Hearing their father's words, the two Huo family members naturally dared not refute.
"Yes!"
At this moment, Huo Shui Xian inquired.
"Mr. Lin, my grandfather is now somewhat recovered; do you know what exactly caused him to become like this?"
"I already said before, he was poisoned."
He looked at the Huo family elder and said with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, Huo Lao Yezi, you had someone help you refine pills before."
Upon hearing this, the Huo family elder's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Finally, he sighed and said to Lin Yang.
"Mr. Lin, as a Xuánmén Person, you certainly can't hide this from me."
"Back when my body was normal, wanting to prolong my life, I spent a great price to find someone."
"That person claimed to be a Xuánmén Person, saying he could refine life-extending pills for me; I then spent one billion, but unexpectedly it harmed me."
Lin Yang smiled and said to Huo Lao Yezi.
"Actually, I can help you prolong your life, and there are no side effects."
"Hmm?"
Seeing Huo Lao Yezi's doubtful gaze, Lin Yang said.
"It's the Longevity Elixir that just awakened your vitality; you should feel something, right."
Thinking of the warm sensation in his five viscera and six bowels, Huo Lao Yezi felt a surge of excitement.
"Mr. Lin, are you selling this Longevity Elixir?"
"I sell it, but I won't sell it to the Huo Family."
"Ah?"
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Lin Yang smiled and said to Huo Lao Yezi.
"I can produce a lot of this, so I want to cooperate with you Huo Family to promote it in Xianggang."
Huo Zhifei inquired: "Do you have more? Can we take a look?"
"Ugly monster, go get those two vials of Longevity Elixir from your company."
An Ni Shang gave Lin Yang a white-eye, then called the company.
Not long after, the Longevity Elixir was delivered.
"Can I drink it?"
Lin Yang nodded and said: "Each of you can have one vial, of course you can drink it."
The two exchanged a glance and gulped down the Longevity Elixir in one go.
After they finished drinking, Huo Lao Yezi excitedly asked.
"Big brother, big brother, how are you doing now?"
Huo Zhidong said with a refreshed expression.
"My fatigue has been swept away; I feel my minor ailments are gone, and my body feels much lighter!"
Huo Zhifei said even more excitedly: "I feel ten years younger; I could gallop on horseback!"
Lin Yang looked at him and warned: "If you go galloping now, within a week you'll be knocked back to your original state."
Huo Zhifei gave an embarrassed smile and said to Lin Yang.
"How could I? I was just making a metaphor."
Hearing his son's words, Old Master Huo's face lit up with excitement.
"Mr. Lin, look at me..."
"You're not suited for this; it's too strong for you."
"Sigh."
Seeing the old master sigh, Lin Yang also paid no attention.
He turned his gaze to Huo Zhidong and said, "Do you think you can promote it?"
"Of course, I promote it among the wealthy circles in Xianggang; I'll surely make a killing!"
Lin Yang smiled and looked at An Ni Shang, saying:
"Ugly freak, discuss the specifics with Manager Huo."
"Huh?"
An Ni Shang's face showed shock, then she said somewhat lacking confidence:
"Can I? I'm still interning beside my mother."
Lin Yang said sternly: "You can't stay by your mother's side forever."
"This matter, I'll leave it to you to discuss."
Hearing this, An Ni Shang gritted her teeth and said:
"All right!"
At that moment, Lin Yang's phone rang; he answered, and Du Juan's frightened voice came through.
"Master, a group calling themselves Hong Gate wants to see you; they look somewhat intimidating—should I call the police?"
Upon hearing that, Lin Yang stopped him: "No need; just tell them I'll be back right away."
After hanging up the phone, he said to Huo Shui Xian:
"Miss Huo, could you take me to Yiguan? The Hong Gate people have gone to cause trouble for my disciple."
Upon hearing that, Huo Shui Xian quickly nodded and said:
"Sure."
An Ni Shang, who had still been lacking confidence, saw Huo Shui Xian and Lin Yang leave together, and her gaze changed.
She cursed the Huo family in her heart, then looked at Huo Zhidong with killing intent in her eyes.
"Boss Huo, let's talk about the Longevity Elixir."
Huo Zhidong, who had thought he could easily deal with a newbie and profit,
upon seeing An Ni Shang's gaze, shuddered.
Her demeanor didn't look like discussing business cooperation; it looked more like she wanted to eat someone.
It was as if he and she had some deep grudge.
While Huo Zhidong was muttering to himself, Lin Yang and Huo Shui Xian rushed straight to Yiguan.
Outside Yiguan at that moment, besides Lin Jiadong with his head wrapped in bandages, Tian Gang and the others, as well as a crowd of Hong Gate elders, were present.
Lin Jiadong sneered at Du Juan and said:
"Running into a master like you counts as your bad luck.
"But I've always been sympathetic and cherishing; I'll give you two options: either I slash your face, or you keep me company for dinner tonight."
Although Du Juan was frightened pale, she still spoke firmly:
"You're dreaming."
Lin Jiadong snorted coldly, pulling out a dagger.
"Then don't blame me!"
A piercing sound suddenly rang out; the elder at the front, Hong Cheng, gave a great shout.
"Hidden weapons!"
He reached out to grab behind him.
But the silver needles were too fast; in an instant they pierced through his hand, leaving him grasping at air.
The silver needles shot straight at Lin Jiadong, piercing his right hand and severing his tendons.
"Ah!"
A miserable scream rang out, accompanied by Lin Yang's voice.
"If there's a next time, I'll send you straight to the afterlife."
