"Sun Meng, what's going on at your end? Why has there been no movement?"

Hearing the somewhat icy inquiry, Sun Meng knew that the person calling him was not Eighth Master, but Su Wei, who had previously instructed him to deal with Hu Xiaobei!

Su Wei was truly annoyed at this moment. Sun Meng previously guaranteed that he would take care of Hu Xiaobei for him, but now there was absolutely no news, which directly irritated him!

Hearing this impatient prompting, Sun Meng hurriedly said, "Manager Su! I'm also quite troubled here! Maybe you could wait a bit longer?"

"Wait a bit longer my ass! If I had known you were so useless, I wouldn't have cooperated with you in the first place. Since you're of no use now, I'll handle it myself!"

"I..."

Sun Meng wanted to say something more, but then he heard the 'beep beep' of a busy signal!

After realizing Su Wei had hung up the phone, Sun Meng snorted coldly!

He knew he could no longer manage this situation, so at this point, he wasn't planning on continuing anymore...

"Hu Xiaobei, in the future, you better not fall into my hands, or else, I'll make sure you pay!"

After uttering such meaningless tough talk, Sun Meng turned and left...

...

Inside a villa, after Su Wei had hung up the phone, Guo Demeng asked in a quiet voice, "Manager Su… what do we do now?"

Right now, Guo Demeng was truly frazzled, because in recent times, the headquarters had inquired more than once about why the purchasing at the point had stopped for the medicinal herbs, and he knew if he didn't give the headquarters a proper explanation, he would be completely finished!

Hearing Guo Demeng's words, Su Wei's eyelids twitched, and he growled, "What's all the noise for, how would I know what to do!"

"But…"

"Enough, cut the crap! Prepare the car quickly! I'm going to Xiaohe Village again, this time I'm going to have a proper talk with Hu Xiaobei!"

"Prepare the car again? Last time..."

Guo Demeng didn't finish, but he knew Su Wei could definitely infer what happened last time with the car flipping over!

After understanding what Guo Demeng meant, Su Wei growled, "You damn better be slower this time!"

"Yes, I've got it!"

"Then go do it, now!"

"Okay!"

Su Wei watched Guo Demeng run off, his expression darkening as he furrowed his brow...

Su Wei knew that the headquarters really started to push now, so he really couldn't play hardball with Hu Xiaobei anymore, he had to try a softer approach!

In Su Wei's view, Hu Xiaobei was just a farmer who knew nothing. With just a few kind words, a bit of blarney, he believed he could easily extract what he wanted from Hu Xiaobei!

...

Over at Xiaohe Village, Hu Xiaobei was taking the pulse of that so-called Eighth Master!

At this moment, Eighth Master's expression was incredibly tense...

He knew he was very rich, so he really didn't want to die!

After taking his pulse, Hu Xiaobei said in a calm tone, "Eighth Master... your condition is quite serious!"

"Divine Doctor Hu, I've already told you, just call me Eight! There's no need to call me Eighth Master! Really, I fear it might jinx my luck!"

"Alright then! Eight, your condition is quite serious!"

"Yes! If it weren't serious, you wouldn't have told me that I only had a week to live! Divine Doctor, you must save me! No matter the cost, I'm willing!"

He didn't want to die!

So at this point, he was truly desperate...

Seeing him looking at him so eagerly, Hu Xiaobei nodded calmly, "Since you're prepared, that makes things easier! Let me ask you, have you taken any medicine recently?"

"No! I've been feeling pretty good recently, I haven't taken any medicine at all!"

Not getting the answer he wanted, Hu Xiaobei spoke somberly, "You haven't taken any medicine?"

"Well… I've got myself a nice girlfriend recently and I was worried about not performing well, so I've been taking some supplemental medicine occasionally! But all the medicines I've taken are purely imported, absolutely top-notch stuff!" he exclaimed.

He was afraid of death, so he was extremely cautious about anything he put into his mouth!

That's why he insisted on buying foreign medications, only the best quality ones!

"Alright! I understand," Xiaobei nodded.

In the middle of their conversation, Hu Xiaobei took out the silver needles used for acupuncture...

After swiftly disinfecting them, Hu Xiaobei commanded, "Open your mouth!"

"Yes!"

Once he opened his mouth, Hu Xiaobei pierced a few needles into his tongue!

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei said, "Go squat in the bathroom!"

"Bathroom? Why…" he began to ask, but before he could finish, a sharp pain hit his stomach, and the next moment, he quickly stood up and dashed for the toilet…

…

After he ran out, Hu Xiaobei stepped outside and took Song Feng's pulse again…

After the examination, Hu Xiaobei looked at Song Feng and said softly, "Old gentleman, your body's fine now! I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take home, and you'll be able to go back!"

"Good! Xiaobei, I really thank you," Song Feng said gratefully.

Hearing Song Feng's thankful words, Hu Xiaobei quickly replied, "There's no need for formalities with me! You've helped me before, and now we're partners, so it's only right that I help you!"

"Yes! I hope we can take this a step further in the future!"

Hearing this meaningful statement, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Song Xue'er and nodded slightly…

The simple and cute Song Xue'er had no idea what her grandfather meant; at this moment, she was looking around with a sense of reluctance…

She knew that since her grandfather was alright, it was time to leave this place…

She felt a sense of attachment…

But soon, she realized she could always come back here whenever she wanted, and she felt at ease!

…

After seeing them off, Hu Xiaobei heard some noise and turned his head to see Eight, weakly leaning against the wall, walking out!

Frowning faintly, Hu Xiaobei asked in a low voice, "All done?"

"I…" he began.

Before he finished, his mouth twitched, and he dashed back into the bathroom…

An hour later, the man with a waxen pale face emerged from the bathroom feeling as though his guts were about to break…

Emptied out! He truly felt as if his body had been completely hollowed out…

Seeing him reappear, Hu Xiaobei asked again, "All done?"

"Yes! Completely done, I…" he started to say, but he was interrupted as the door was abruptly pushed open, and swiftly, seven or eight men strode in…

Hu Xiaobei glanced over and recognized the leader as none other than Guo Demeng and Su Wei; seeing their furious expressions, Hu Xiaobei knew they probably weren't here for sightseeing…

Smiling knowingly, Hu Xiaobei spoke in a gentle tone, "Manager Su is here, may I know what brings you here?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak, Su Wei walked toward him, and that's when he suddenly caught a whiff of an indescribably sour and foul smell. Instinctively turning his head, he realized that the nauseating odor was emanating from a man with a pale, yellowish face…

"What is that smell!" he exclaimed.

In the moment he felt the urge to retch, he saw the man approaching him, and after a slight twitch of the mouth, Su Wei instinctively lashed out with a kick without any hesitation…
