Chapter 79: 79, Who said I’m dead?

What, what? After taking the Serenity Powder, we still have to cough up money?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ruohai and Stubborn Su Gang were both shocked, their faces instantly freezing. I have to say, Lin Fan, you really are a scoundrel! You knew we just got our hands on the money, and now you’re extorting us? Doesn’t this mean we did all that work for nothing, and you get to reap all the benefits?

“I… I am willing to offer nine million!” Yuan Ruohai’s expression shifted repeatedly as he gritted his teeth and reluctantly produced a bank card, holding it high above his head with both hands.

“You went back to the Yuan family, and this is all you managed to get?” Lin Fan asked with a frown as he took the bank card.

“The old man is extremely crafty. He didn’t fall for it at all. I… I had no choice!” Yuan Ruohai’s face flushed crimson, so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

“And what about you, Old Su?” Lin Fan turned to Stubborn Su Gang, whose eyes were darting around nervously.

“I am also willing to offer nine million!” Stubborn Su Gang said with a sheepish smile, taking out his phone to transfer the money to Lin Fan.

“You got over five hundred million, yet you’re only willing to part with this little? It seems your loyalty is lacking,” Lin Fan said, shaking his head.

“Young Master, if he dares to harbor selfish intentions, then…” Master Feng, who was standing nearby, sneered and once again made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Impossible! I will not hand over so much money!” Stubborn Su Gang’s face turned pale as he grew frantic. What kind of master are you, anyway? All you know how to do is threaten people!

“If you lose your life, you can be reborn in the next one… but if I lose my money, I’ll never rest in peace, even in death!” He stood up, clutching his phone tightly, his eyes filled with unease and wariness, like a virtuous woman desperately guarding her chastity.

“You’re just going to take that five hundred million to the casino and squander it all anyway, aren’t you?” Lin Fan almost laughed in anger. With a cold expression, he tilted his head towards Yuan Ruohai.

“Old Su, if you disobey the Young Master’s orders, don’t blame me for being discourteous,” Yuan Ruohai said, his expression turning stern. He quickly walked up to the retreating Stubborn Su Gang and threatened him in a low voice.

“You thugs, you’re all thugs and robbers! I worked hard to scam people out of this money, and you just want to snatch it away…” Stubborn Su Gang’s face turned green, and he was about to turn and run.

THUD!

Master Feng grunted and flicked his sleeve. A gust of wind struck the back of Stubborn Su Gang’s knees, causing his body to stiffen. He toppled forward like a log and fell flat on his face, eating dirt.

“Lin Fan, Young Master Lin, Grandfather Lin! I was wrong, I was wrong! Please, just leave me a little something!”

Seeing Yuan Ruohai snatch the phone and scurry over to present it to Lin Fan, Stubborn Su Gang lay on the ground, his eyes brimming with tears.

“Excellent, Old Su. You’ve shown great loyalty by offering up over five hundred million. I’ll remember this.” After forcing the transfer password out of him, Lin Fan didn’t hold back, transferring the entire balance from Stubborn Su Gang’s account into his own.

“You’re bullying me… This is too much…” Stubborn Su Gang cried, his head hanging as he clutched his phone, looking as aggrieved as a young wife who had lost her virtue. If I had known Lin Fan would pull a stunt like this, I would have rather left the money with Su Mengqing! At least it would have stayed in the family. Now all that effort was for nothing. It’s like I was just working for Lin Fan!

“Young Master, there is something I think I should tell you,” Yuan Ruohai said, approaching with a hesitant expression. “Chen Heihu has colluded with Iguchi Watanabe, the vice president of the Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group. He took his men to the Yuan family home. They plan to kill Mr. Yuan Sr. and install me as the head of the Yuan family. Then they’ll take over the entire medicinal procurement conference and eventually monopolize Haicheng’s herbal export business!”

At his words, Lin Fan’s expression changed. He glanced at Master Feng, only to see him nod in confirmation.

“Let’s go. To the Yuan family!”

BOOM!

With a single step, Lin Fan’s figure vanished, already rushing out into the rainy night. Witnessing this, a startled Master Feng quickly gave chase. Only Xiao Jie, Yuan Ruohai, and Stubborn Su Gang were left behind, staring blankly at each other. With little choice, the three of them also left the clinic, following them out into the rain.

「At that moment.」

Deep within the brightly lit Yuan family estate, the atmosphere in the reception hall was heavy. Everyone in the estate had been roused and had gathered to confront Chen Heihu and his men from a distance.

“Heihu, it’s only been a few days. Why bring such a crowd to my Yuan family’s home again?” Dressed in a spacious bathrobe, Mr. Yuan Sr. stepped into the hall, flanked by Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue. He smiled as he glanced at Chen Heihu before his gaze settled on the man standing behind him.

Iguchi Watanabe! Vice President of the Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group from Sakura Country!

Over the past few years, he had repeatedly expressed his interest in collaborating with the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce. He had attempted to monopolize Haicheng’s herbal export business, but Mr. Yuan Sr. had politely refused him every time. Now, seeing him arrive together with Chen Heihu, Mr. Yuan Sr. remained outwardly composed, but his heart sank.

“Mr. Yuan Sr., a wise man submits to circumstances. As long as you accept my terms, we can still be good friends,” Iguchi Watanabe said, stepping forward before Chen Heihu could respond. A congenial smile was on his plump face as he gave Mr. Yuan Sr. a deep bow.

“The dispute over the orthodoxy of Chinese medicine is not truly important. Xia Country is vast and resource-rich, and Haicheng, known as the Pharmacy Hub, produces countless high-quality medicinal herbs.

“Our Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group has the capability to develop them into high-quality patent medicines and promote them on the international market. Wouldn’t a win-win cooperation be better for everyone?”

As his words fell, the hall plunged into a dead silence, which was quickly followed by a furious uproar. This little devil from Sakura Country is incredibly brazen! How dare he say the orthodoxy of Chinese medicine is unimportant? And on top of that, he wants to take Xia Country’s premium medicinal herbs to make a fortune on the international market? The inevitable result of that would be the suppression of Xia Country’s own pharmaceutical companies!

“Mr. Iguchi, my grandfather has already refused you time and time again. Are you incapable of understanding plain language?” The faces of the Yuan family members had turned cold. Mr. Yuan Sr.’s smile had vanished completely. Yuan Youwei’s beautiful face was frosty as she stepped forward and shot back the cold question at Iguchi Watanabe.

“Insolence! Who do you think you are, Yuan Youwei, to disrespect Mr. Iguchi?” Chen Heihu’s face turned hostile as he glared fiercely at her. “Mr. Iguchi is kind enough to grant your Yuan family one last chance.”

He bared his teeth in a vicious grin, crossing his palms and cracking his knuckles menacingly.

“If you won’t do this the easy way, you’ll have to do it the hard way. Don’t blame my Black Tiger Hall if we flatten your Yuan estate tonight!”

BOOM!

His savage words echoed through the hall, causing the Yuan family members to look at one another with alarm and uncertainty.

“Mr. Yuan Sr., this is bad! All of our estate’s security guards have been taken down!” an estate manager shouted, running up to Mr. Yuan Sr., panting as he delivered the urgent report.

“We’ve also lost contact with the bodyguards in the inner courtyard…” Mrs. Xue said, lowering her phone. Her coolly beautiful face looked exceptionally grim as she shook her head at Mr. Yuan Sr.

“Don’t worry. My men merely knocked them out with some anesthetic smoke,” Iguchi Watanabe said with a smile as he watched Mr. Yuan Sr.’s face darken in silence. His own eyes, however, were sharp and aggressive.

“Of course, if President Yuan remains so obstinate, all of those people might lose their lives because of you.”

He waved his hand. Two Sakura Country Warriors dressed in black, form-fitting attire immediately appeared, standing stock-still behind him.

“Miss Yuan, don’t even think about secretly contacting Lin Fan,” Chen Heihu sneered, staring at Yuan Youwei, who was clutching her phone. “He’s like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river—he can’t even save himself right now. Thinking of calling him to save you? Dream on. He’s surely dead at Master Feng’s hands by now!”

What? Even Lin Fan had met with disaster? Mr. Yuan Sr.’s eye twitched, his frown deepening. Yuan Youwei’s delicate body trembled, her face turning deathly pale. Even Mrs. Xue and the others stared in shock, unable to process the news for a long moment.

“Impossible! I don’t believe you could kill him!” Yuan Youwei’s breathing grew ragged as she clenched her teeth and shouted.

“Nothing is impossible. There’s always a higher mountain. Lin Fan was indeed strong, but compared to Master Feng, he’s still nothing but trash!” Chen Heihu roared with laughter, feeling an incredible sense of vindication. It was especially satisfying to see Yuan Youwei terrified and heartbroken, like drinking ice-cold water on a hot summer day. “Tonight, I will not only avenge Chen Biao, but I will also make your Yuan family pay the price in blood for protecting Lin Fan!”

Recalling the events of the past few days, Chen Heihu’s eyes flashed with rage. He strode forward and raised his hand to slap Yuan Youwei. “You bitch! And to think Chen Biao once fancied you! I’m going to send you to join my son in death!”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to do that.”

THUD! THUD!

An indifferent voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall. A moment later, several Sakura Country Warriors in black uniforms were sent flying into the room, spitting blood!

“Who was it just now that said I was dead?”

As everyone stared in utter shock, Lin Fan strode into the hall, his cold gaze sweeping across the room.
