Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Captured

Yang Fan was in a dilemma at the moment, and the charming lady boss was obviously conflicted too.

She was probably considering whether to bear the pain and lose less money, or to take a gamble and wait to see how the market goes.

After hesitating for a long time, she looked up and said, "Add two yuan, make it ninety."

Yang Fan shook his head, "The most I can add is fifty cents, and that’s because you have a large quantity. If it’s only two or three hundred jin, eighty-eight is the highest I could go."

"Sister, let me be frank with you, with today’s market that could give a person a heart attack, if I were buying for myself, I would definitely not buy. Doing the opposite today is definitely an action seeking death."

"As for me, I pay first and receive the goods later. The price my supplier gave me is eighty-nine, so how much can I earn?"

The lady boss’s face was full of conflict as she bit her plump and rosy lips, "But eighty-eight and a half, that’s too low."

"You can see the situation for yourself, sell if you can." Yang Fan spoke earnestly, "If it were last month, eighty-eight would be considered a high price. But compared to yesterday, this price is indeed distressing, and I’m speaking the honest truth."

"Alright, let’s go. I’ll take you to look at the goods," the lady boss finally made up her mind.

The business these past two days was not only testing people’s hearts, but also their courage.

For a thousand jin of goods, selling at eighty-eight, she would lose more than two thousand, but if the price dropped further, it could easily become more than ten thousand.

As for a price increase, there are probably not many people really thinking about that right now.

After all, during the past three days, the price of Codonopsis has been plummeting, with no sign of hope for a rise.

After the price was set, Yang Fan followed the lady boss through the shop and into the courtyard behind.

Their shop had a storefront in front and a yard in the back, where all the goods were stockpiled.

Opening one of the rooms, the lady boss, with her ample figure and hair casually pinned up in the back, said, "It’s all here, about one thousand and two to three hundred jin. Take a look at the quality first, then we can talk."

"These are the highest quality I picked out. The lower quality ones have already been sold. I was hoping to get a good price with these goods, but who could have expected the market to change so many times in one day, it’s unbearable for people."

Yang Fan nodded and started to carefully inspect the quality of the goods.

The price Old Zhou gave him was for the best quality Codonopsis, if it’s any lower quality, it didn’t deserve this price.

After checking carefully inside and out, Yang Fan smiled and said, "No problem with the goods, the quality is indeed good."

"You can be assured of that, we value integrity in doing business, we wouldn’t pass off inferior goods as superior," the lady boss said a bit dejectedly, "If everything is alright, let’s proceed with the paperwork. Not only have I been busy in vain with all this stuff, but I’ve also lost several thousand, it’s really unpleasant to look at now."

Yang Fan smiled, it seemed like they had indeed taken great care in selecting the goods.

Just as the two were about to leave, suddenly a rush of frantic footsteps sounded from outside, and then the slightly ajar door was violently kicked open.

"Bitch, I’ll kill you!"

A ferocious shout suddenly erupted.

Before Yang Fan could clearly see who had come in, the lady boss received a fierce slap on her face.

Following that, the figure suddenly charged towards Yang Fan like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Son of a bitch, how dare you sleep with my woman, I’ll fucking kill you!"

Yang Fan was startled and, in his panic, threw a punch.

But the man had a wide frame and was corpulent, practically like a human fortress. Yang Fan’s punch only made him pause momentarily, and did not cause him any substantial harm.

With a dull thud, Yang Fan was heavily pressed down onto the ground.

"I’ll kill you, I’ll fucking kill you! Sleeping with my wife, did it feel good, you son of a bitch!"

The man roared furiously, swinging his fists down at Yang Fan’s face.

Yang Fan quickly shielded his face with his arms and shouted loudly, "Are you fucking blind? I’m here to collect Codonopsis!"

"Collect Codonopsis, collect your spicy mother next door, you think I don’t know? Son of a bitch, die for me, damn it." The man’s fists fell like raindrops, hammering on Yang Fan’s arms and making him feel as if he’d been rammed by Lao Niu.

At that moment, the proprietress who had been slapped to the ground covered her cheek, staggering over.

"Cao Wang, have you lost your damn mind? He’s here to collect herbs, to collect herbs!" the proprietress screamed, yanking at the man.

"Get the hell out of here!" Cao Wang vehemently shook off his arm, flinging the proprietress aside and bellowed, "Pan Xiaoxia, I must be fucking blind, you’re still defending him, you actually still defend him! Then let’s die together!"

His emotions seemed out of control.

With a roar, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his chest, drew the blade, and thrust it towards Yang Fan’s neck.

Yang Fan was immediately horrified.

I’m just here to collect some herbs, who the hell did I provoke.

Seeing the tip of the blade coming towards his neck, Yang Fan threw a punch fiercely at Cao Wang’s eye and at the same time, his knee shot out hard beneath him.

This crafty attack finally had some effect.

Cao Wang grunted and his body swayed to the side.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Yang Fan grabbed Cao Wang’s arm and bit down without hesitation. Once he felt the pain and his fingers loosened slightly, Yang Fan quickly snatched the dagger from Cao Wang’s hand and stabbed it into his thigh.

Their strength was similar, but Cao Wang was nearly twice the size of Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was once again pinned down, with no other choice but to use such cunning methods.

"Ah... fuck, motherfucker."

Cao Wang cried out in pain but still swung his fists towards Yang Fan once more.

Determined, Yang Fan raised the knife and stabbed down again, finally managing to scramble out from underneath the corpulent man.

Having been stabbed twice, Cao Wang’s movements finally slowed down.

With the blood-stained dagger in his hand, Yang Fan backed up to the door and shouted at Cao Wang, "Brother, even if you want to catch someone in the act, you should at least talk sense, right? Look at this place, does it look like the kind of spot for that? Fuck, I’m just here to collect herbs and I’m facing life-threatening danger."

"Quit the bullshit, one of us has to die today," Cao Wang said with a ferocious expression as he got up, "Does doing that sort of thing need a specific place? Do you think your fucking nonsense has any persuasive power at all?"

"Come on then, kill me if you’ve got the guts, I’ll be the dead third wheel for you two."

"Cao Wang, what the hell is wrong with you, he’s just here to collect herbs, I don’t even know his name," the proprietress shouted, blocking in front of Yang Fan.

"Don’t know? You probably measured his size with your unchaste mouth a long time ago, didn’t you? Whore, you made me a cuckold, you won’t get away with this either," Cao Wang bellowed hideously.
