Chapter 36

As soon as he walked in, Ye Feng saw a middle-aged man lying on the floor of the pharmacy, foaming at the mouth, his face blue, looking to be in a very critical situation.

And beside him, several burly men were surrounding Qi Ruoxue, pointing at her and cursing aggressively: "You are all just a bunch of quack doctors!"

"My brother took your medicine and ended up like this. If you don't pay up today, this won't be over!"

Qi Ruoxue was forced into a corner by them, her face pale, but she still tried hard to remain calm: "Everyone, our medicinal materials have all undergone strict inspection; it is impossible for there to be any problems."

"This gentleman's situation might be caused by other reasons. I suggest sending him to the hospital first..."

"Bullshit!"

One of the men interrupted her rudely and reached out to grab Qi Ruoxue's wrist: "Stop the nonsense! If you don't pay up today, don't even think about keeping this pharmacy open!"

Qi Ruoxue subconsciously took a step back, but there was a wall behind her, and there was nowhere to retreat.

A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still braced herself and said: "Don't you dare mess around, this is the Qi family's turf!"

"Qi family? Hehe, so what if it's the Qi family!"

"If something happens to my brother, even the Qi family won't be able to protect you!"

The man sneered and reached out to grab Qi Ruoxue's collar.

Just as his hand was about to touch Qi Ruoxue, a powerful hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Stop!"

Ye Feng's voice was cold and low, as if carrying an invisible pressure.

The man was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Ye Feng, and found it was a young man, then laughed disdainfully: "Kid, who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business, or I'll deal with you too!"

Ye Feng ignored his threat and said coldly: "You keep saying there's a problem with the medicine, so why don't you save the person first!"

The man was choked by Ye Feng's words, then became angry from embarrassment: "None of your business, get lost!"

As he said this, his other hand balled into a fist and smashed toward Ye Feng's face.

Ye Feng's eyes turned cold, he twisted the man's wrist lightly, and then kicked him in the knee.

The man let out a miserable shriek and fell directly to his knees.

The other few people saw this and were instantly enraged: "Kid, you're looking for death!"

Subsequently, they swarmed forward and lunged at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng let out a cold snort, his figure flashed, moving through them like a ghost.

His movements were clean and efficient, every punch and kick precisely striking the opponent's vital points.

In less than a minute, all those men were lying on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Ye Feng clapped his hands and looked at them coldly: "Now, can we talk properly?"

Those men clutched their stomachs, their faces pale; they clearly hadn't expected Ye Feng to be so good at fighting.

One of the men managed to stand up and pointed at Ye Feng, cursing: "You... you just wait, this isn't over!"

Ye Feng sneered: "I'm ready anytime!"

Those men looked at each other, finally gritted their teeth, helped up the man foaming at the mouth, and slunk away from the pharmacy.

The pharmacy returned to peace. Qi Ruoxue let out a sigh of relief, walked to Ye Feng's side, and said with a hint of gratitude: "Ye Feng, thanks to you today!"

Ye Feng shook his head, his tone gentle: "Ruoxue, as long as you're okay!"

"However, this matter is a bit suspicious. Those people were clearly here to cause trouble; there might be someone behind them pulling the strings."

Qi Ruoxue nodded, her brows tightly locked: "I also feel something is wrong. Our medicinal materials have all undergone strict inspection; it's impossible for there to be any problems!"

"Moreover, as soon as they came in, they were shouting about compensation; they didn't care about that man's life at all!"

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Ruoxue, has your Qi family offended anyone recently, or has anyone been eyeing your pharmacy?"

Qi Ruoxue shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "Our Qi family's reputation has always been very good; maybe someone is jealous. However, I will be careful."

"Oh, right!"

At this moment, Qi Ruoxue suddenly thought of something and hurriedly turned to walk toward the back room.

When she came out again, there were two large bags of medicinal materials in her hands.

Qi Ruoxue carried the medicine, and when she walked in front of Ye Feng, she handed them over: "Take these medicinal materials first. If it's not enough, come find me again."

Ye Feng took the medicinal materials and took out his wallet to pay, but was stopped by Qi Ruoxue: "Ye Feng, you helped me so much just now, how can I take your money?"

"Consider these medicinal materials as my way of thanking you; no need to pay!"

Ye Feng shook his head, his tone firm: "Ruoxue, one thing is one thing, another is another!"

Qi Ruoxue insisted on not taking the money and said with a smile: "Ye Feng, don't be so polite with me."

"Besides, these medicinal materials aren't worth much; just consider it help between friends."

Seeing her attitude was firm, Ye Feng had no choice but to smile helplessly: "Alright, since your Qi family is wealthy, I will respectfully obey!"

Qi Ruoxue blinked and said mischievously: "Since you've taken my medicine, you're my person now!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Just as Ye Feng was about to leave, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the pharmacy.

Immediately after, the few people who had caused trouble just now returned, and this time, they were followed by a burly middle-aged man with a fierce face.

"Big brother, it's this kid; he's the one who beat us up just now!"

One of the men who caused trouble pointed at Ye Feng, his tone full of resentment.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Feng coldly: "Kid, you're the one who beat up my brother?"

Ye Feng frowned, his tone calm: "It's me!"

The middle-aged man sneered, his tone carrying a hint of disdain: "Kid, you dare to cause trouble on my, Li Hu's, turf? You're really tired of living!"

When Qi Ruoxue heard the name "Li Hu," her face turned pale instantly.

She said to Ye Feng in a low voice: "Ye Feng, he is the local bully in this area and has many subordinates. Even our Qi family can't do anything about them!"

Ye Feng patted Qi Ruoxue on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay."

Seeing Ye Feng and Qi Ruoxue whispering, Li Hu immediately waved his hand impatiently: "Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance."

"Kneel down and apologize to my brother now, and pay a hundred or eighty thousand in medical expenses, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ye Feng sneered, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Li Hu, is it? Do you think that by bringing a few people, you can scare me?"

"Looking for death!"

Hearing this, Li Hu's expression turned gloomy instantly. He roared and raised his fist to smash toward Ye Feng!

"Ignorant of life and death!"

Ye Feng's eyes turned cold, his figure flashed, easily avoiding Li Hu's fist, and then he kicked out directly.

Only a miserable shriek was heard, and Li Hu flew out directly!
