“Xiaobei… Save me… Xiaobei… Save me…” Lan Mengcheng lay on the bed, calling out Chen Xiaobei’s name in her sleep.
She must have been having a nightmare. Her eyes flew open, and her breath was choppy.
Chen Xiaobei put down the phone and walked over to the bed.
“I’m here! Don’t worry! You’re not in danger anymore. This is the safest place and no one can hurt you here!” he comforted.
“I… I’m safe?” Lan Mengcheng was baffled for a while before she suddenly shrieked in full-blown terror, “Save my dad! And my family! They are in danger! The Yaps and the Zhuangs are going to hurt my family! Xiaobei, save them! Please, I beg you!”
“Silly girl, don’t worry!” Chen Xiaobei rubbed her shoulder gently and said, “I had already found out about it. You family is my family. I will not anything happen to them!”
“If that’s the case, what are you still doing here? Let’s go back to Green Vine City! I want to see my dad and my grandmother… If anything happens to them, I will never be able to forgive myself!”
Lan Mengcheng was terribly distraught. She pushed the blanket away and made haste to get out of bed.
She was obviously a very filial daughter and she loved her family very much. If it were not so, she would never have agreed to marry into the Zhuang Family for the sake of her family members.
Now that her family was in danger, she did not want to wait another second anymore.
“Don’t worry. Just lie down and rest!” Chen Xiaobei held her down and said in a serious voice, “We cannot act so rashly! It won’t help solve the problem. We won’t be able to do anything even if we return to Green Vine City now. We might even cause the enemy to inadvertently alert our enemies!”
“That…” Lan Mengcheng kept quiet. If it were someone else, she might not have taken the advice. But since it was Chen Xiaobei, she did.
Anyway, what Chen Xiaobei said made sense. Even if they returned to Green Vine, they would not be able to help much. Instead, they might alarm their enemies who might deploy a lethal ambush!
“Then what do you plan to do? We can’t just be sitting around and waiting?” Lan Mengcheng questioned.
“We have to wait! But we won’t be doing nothing!” Chen Xiaobei explained, “If the Yaps want to buy over Lan Organization, they will have to do it through share purchases. I have a friend who is a ‘financial crocodile’ in the market. I’ve already sent him to find out the Yaps’ trading format. Then I can find a way to tackle them!”
“Is that… true?” Lan Mengzheng asked cautiously.
She could almost breathe a sigh of relief.
“Of course! All you need to worry about is recovering. If I can’t take care of this problem then I will be struck by lightning! I will die a terrible death…” Chen Xiaobei swore confidently.
“No! Don’t say that! Take it back!” Lan Mengcheng placed a finger on Chen Xiaobei’s lips and said earnestly, “I know that you will all you can! I believe that you can do it!”
“That’s what I like about you! You’re always so understanding!”
Chen Xiaobei’s lips widened into a smile. Seeing Lan Mengcheng’s flawless face and getting a whiff of her sweet scent from her fingers, Chen Xiobei felt a sudden burning in his loins. He was thirsty for her.
‘No! This is not the time for messing around! There is still a lot to be done!’
“I still have a few things that I need to do. So, I can’t be here with you. I will ask Murong Xiaoyao to get you for dinner. She’s also a Green Vine University’s alumnus. She will introduce you to everyone!”
Chen Xiaobei briefed her gently before leaving her room. This woman was way to ravishing! It would have been disastrous if Chen Xiaobei did not control himself!
For the rest of the day, Chen Xiaobei busied himself in the dispensary, preparing the medication to be exchanged for 4,000 Spiritual Stones in the Zhuang Household.
For the sake of this trade-off, he did not even bother to eat dinner.
In actuality, the process of concocting the medicine was pretty simple. He only had to put some herbs together, chop and then cook them. Once that was done, he just had to mix in some Hundred Herbs Potion and then funnel them into four bottles.
However, he had to calibrate the right amount of Hundred Herbs Potion he would be using. He needed to make sure that it was enough to cure his enemies but not so effective that all four of them should recover prematurely or simultaneously! To make four medicine of different dosages, Chen Xiaobei had to test them a dozen times before he got them right.
…
Before long, it was already the noon of the next day.
He had not even had lunch when Zhuang Yuejin bombarded his phone with incessant calls.
Chen Xiaobei took his own sweet time before heading, at snail’s speed, to the Zhuang household.
As expected, when he had arrived at their door, Chen Xiaobei was treated like a god and everyone was his devout disciple, giving him the highest esteem. In the mansion that housed four of his patients, there were a boxful of Spiritual Stones by each of the beds, shimmering like diamonds.
“Grandfather! The 4,000 Spiritual Stone are ready! Please cure the four of them!”
Zhuang Hao, who had been standing next to him, kowtowed.
The four injured men looked up eagerly at Chen Xiaobei, all hoping to be “coddled” by Chen Xiaobei!
“Mm, you have all kept your word. So, have I!” Chen Xiaobei took out four bottles of potion and administered them to each of the men according to dosage he had formulated.
Then he took out the sediment from the leftover medicine, and applied them to Yue Junmo and Xu Changqing’s face.
“Miracle potion! This is miracle potion!” Yue Changkong was the first to blurt out, “I can feel my internal injuries healing bit by bit! This fast healing effect is superior to all of Mount Hua Faction’s elixirs!”
“Elder Wu is a god-sent doctor!”
Shu Dongruo was next to exclaim, “I can also feel that my injuries recovering! Even if you swept through the entire Green Town Faction’s elixirs, you wouldn’t be able to find something nearly as remarkable as Elder Wu’s!”
“Me too! I feel it too! This is incredible! This is just too phenomenal…”
Xu Changqing was over the moon, as if he had just won the lottery.
Seeing the three idiots acting like a group of buffoons, Chen Xiaobei nearly burst into laughter.
The dosage he had administered to them was actually quite low.
With that being said, the recovery speed was actually considered quite slow. If he had given them a bottle of pure Hundred Herbs Potion, they would have gone mad with joy!
“Junmo, why didn’t you say anything? Was the drug not effective?”
Yue Changkong looked at his son worriedly.
“Not effective? How could it be ineffective?” Yue Junmo cried out all of a sudden, “This is super effective! I could feel my wounds sealing up and new flesh growing in its place! Elder Wu’s medicine is good enough to revive a dead person!”
Those who were present were blown away.
They tried hard to picture what it felt like to feel new flesh growing inside of them.
The only one who was cool as a cucumber was Chen Xiaobei.
That was because he had given Yue Junmo a higher dosage of Hundred Herbs Potion so that he would heal faster. After all, hidden inside Junmo’s body was a Hexworm!
