Chapter 278: The Annual Meeting Begins

He originally thought this was a rare prescription.

So, it would be sold at a higher price.

Who would have thought that ordinary people could buy it for fifty yuan?

Cao Yuanwei, who hadn't paid yet, saw this scene, gritted his teeth, and looked at Lin Yang, saying.

"You sold it to him for fifty; you have to give me a discount too, no matter what."

Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"No haggling; you can choose not to buy."

"However, you're still young; if your right arm doesn't recover fully, it will definitely affect you greatly."

"By then, Heavenly Martial Hall might not want you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuanwei felt Lin Yang made a lot of sense.

He gritted his teeth and said to Lin Yang.

"Alright, I'll buy it!"

"Good, congratulations on making a wise choice; pay up, twenty-five million."

"What!"

Cao Yuanwei let out an exclamation, widened his eyes, and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Wasn't it twenty million? Why did it become twenty-five million?"

"Twenty million was the earlier price; later there will be another price."

"You choose for yourself."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Cao Yuanwei gritted his teeth, tears in his eyes, and handed over twenty-five million.

After Lin Yang handed the Black Jade Continuing Ointment to him, he chuckled and said.

"Welcome back next time."

Hou Yaoguo snorted coldly and said to Lin Yang.

"Can you release Elder Zhang Wei now?"

Lin Yang glanced at the man beside him and chuckled.

"So your name is Zhang Wei."

"Tell them yourself; I didn't kidnap you."

Zhang Wei wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he triggered a bout of coughing.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he fought me and was seriously injured."

"If it can't be cured, it might turn into tuberculosis."

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Hou Yaoguo said.

"A doctor's benevolent heart—why don't you treat his illness?"

Lin Yang looked at him, smiling, and said.

"Because only with payment can one treat illness."

"Elder Zhang lacks no money."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang lowered his head and looked at Zhang Wei.

"You don't lack money, do you?"

Seeing Zhang Wei's violent coughing, he pressed on two acupoints.

Zhang Wei immediately felt his body much more comfortable.

He looked at Lin Yang, gritted his teeth, and said.

"How much? I'll treat it!"

"You're an elder; naturally I won't overcharge you—forty million will do."

Although he was prepared, hearing Lin Yang's words still caused a surge of qi and blood.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll treat it! I'll treat it!"

Lin Yang smiled, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Sun Jiacheng.

"Old Sun, go grab the medicine."

After the medicine was gathered, Lin Yang took out silver needles and stuck a few into Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei immediately felt his body much more comfortable.

He immediately believed in Lin Yang's medical skill.

When Lin Yang gave him the medicine, Zhang Wei snorted, took the medicine, and left.

After seeing the three leave, Sun Jiacheng then asked.

"Master, why didn't you just cure him directly?"

"They paid so much; surely we should let them experience the treatment process, right?"

"I'm doing this for the patient's sake."

Upon hearing that, Sun Jiacheng looked enlightened.

Indeed, his master is truly formidable.

He even said swindling people was for the patient's benefit.

"Since you're both here, I'll teach you two sets of needle techniques."

"During this time, learn as much as you can; ask me if anything is unclear."

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Sun Jiacheng was startled and asked.

Master, are you leaving?

Lin Yang exhaled a breath, gazing into the distance.

Next year I'll head out for a while, to clear some old scores buried in the years!

Seeing the depth in Lin Yang's eyes, Sun Jiacheng didn't ask further.

While Lin Yang taught them acupuncture, Cao Yuanwei, sitting in the car, unwillingly asked Zhang Wei.

Elder, are we just going to let this go like that?

Our Heavenly Martial Hall has never suffered such a loss!

Zhang Wei, hearing that, also looked displeased.

He said in a deep voice, "That Lin Yang kid, although he seems carefree..."

But his strength is unfathomable!

We three are no match for him; if we act rashly, we might lose our wife and troops.

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Cao Yuanwei looked unwilling.

Are we just going to let it go like that?

Zhang Wei remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

I can contact Elder Shi.

However, he's been busy lately; even if he comes to the southwest, it'll take some time.

Can you wait?

Yes!

As time passed, the festive atmosphere grew stronger.

Lin Ying'er, on winter break, stayed at home every day.

Brother, Little New Year is coming; in past years, when Father and them were around, they always held the annual gathering.

I still remember that scene.

Why don't you also arrange a New Year's Eve party?

Just invite Sister An and Sister Lu and their group.

Lin Yang, hearing that, exhaled a breath.

This New Year's Eve party, I'll host it, but I want to invite the entire prominent families of the southwest!

I will tell them, I, Lin Yang, have returned!

Lin Ying'er, upon hearing, also cheered joyfully.

The next day, Lin Yang's invitations were sent out.

Even the Heavenly Martial Hall received an invitation.

When Zhang Wei looked at the invitation, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Hehe, the annual gathering?

Indeed, heaven helps me; that day, Elder Shi just happens to arrive in the southwest.

Cao Yuanwei, upon hearing, looked excited.

Really? This time we're going to make Lin Yang lose face badly!

I will trample Lin Yang's face into the ground!

Cao Yuanwei grew more proud as he spoke.

I heard that many prominent families in the southwest have received invitations.

I really look forward to the scene of trampling him underfoot in front of everyone.

The venue for the New Year's party is the villa that was previously burned down.

The villa, after Lin Yang spent a lot of money, has been completely repaired.

This is also where Lin Tiannan started his business.

Choosing this place is to let everyone know.

He, Lin Yang, has taken back everything his father lost!

On this day, the hall was filled with distinguished guests.

Basically, all the notable people from the southwest came.

Everyone gathered around the table, discussing animatedly.

Lin Yang has made it big now; I hear he has the support of the Wei and Lu families, and even the Baihua Group supports him.

Yeah, even someone as formidable as Lin Tianzheng can't match Lin Yang.

As everyone was praising Lin Yang's prowess, a cold snort sounded.

No matter how impressive, he's just a mere merchant.

No matter how strong, can he still beat our Zhao family?

Zhao family?

Everyone glanced sideways, looking toward Zhao Shicheng beside them.

Upon seeing Zhao Shicheng, everyone greeted him.

Greetings, Young Master Zhao.

Zhao Shicheng smiled smugly, looking at the person beside him and asked.

What do you think, how does our Zhao family compare to Lin Yang?

Naturally, the Zhao family is stronger.

Your father is the head of the Southwest Resources Department; many people seek his help.

Your grandfather, moreover, has students everywhere; in the southwest officialdom, how many are his disciples?

Hearing everyone's flattery, Zhao Shicheng's mouth corners curled up slightly.

An Tian Sheng arrived uninvited, congratulating Mr. Lin Yang on a happy Little New Year.

An Tian Sheng laughed loudly as he walked into the house.

That sound startled everyone, making them all look at once.
