Chapter 194 - 0194: Brother Tao of Binhai

Chapter 194: Chapter 0194: Brother Tao of Binhai

Both of them didn’t stay at Grandpa’s house long and drove back to the city.

After Long Fei’s guidance on the way, Lin Yingying finally agreed not to talk about marriage for the time being.

Long Fei even wondered if he had been deceived by her pitiful look.

Logically, after drinking so much wine, she shouldn’t be completely sober, right?

He got out of the car at the entrance to the urban village, and Lin Yingying stuck her head out to say goodbye to him.

Long Fei curiously asked, "Aren’t you afraid of getting caught for drunk driving?"

Lin Yingying chuckled, "Who said I drank?"

Long Fei stared and said, "What about the wine bottles and beer bottles on your table? Weren’t they all drunk by you?"

Lin Yingying laughed slyly, "I did drink a little, but those empty bottles are all from before. How could I drink that much!"

Long Fei took a deep breath, he had indeed been tricked by her.

She blew him a kiss and drove away with a triumphant look on her face.

Long Fei slapped his forehead, thinking that women are truly not to be trusted.

You can never really tell whether they are genuinely sad or just pretending.

Lin Yingying had indeed been putting on an act for him just now, but it was three parts false and seven parts true.

She just wanted to confirm whether Long Fei was hiding something from her.

Good lord, she hadn’t expected that a mere test would land such a big fish, swiftly resolving the current predicament.

Actually, when she visited Longjiawan Village last time, Lin Yingying had begun to doubt Long Fei’s identity.

She just couldn’t believe that the world could have such coincidences, but today she had no choice but to believe it.

In the car, she called Lin Shanshan, and as soon as the phone connected, she started scolding sweetly, "Lin Shanshan, where are you?"

This sister of hers had known about Long Fei’s identity all along and had kept it from her.

The first thing she wanted to do was give this person a good beating.

It was just past four in the afternoon, and Long Fei glanced at the time and headed for the Chinese medicine shop at the street corner.

He planned to strike while the iron was hot and open up all the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Others take a gradual approach to Foundation Establishment, slowly refining their meridians to adapt to the impact of Essential Qi.

He, however, did not need to. He felt quite confident about the robustness of the meridians in his body!

Since the students hadn’t finished class, there weren’t many people in the medicine shop.

"Little brother, what medicine are you buying today?"

As soon as Long Fei walked in, the old master Chang Baichuan sitting at the counter saw him and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Long Fei again made him happier than anyone else.

Long Fei looked at him and said, "The same as yesterday’s prescription, just grab the same amount!"

He took out his phone to show him the prescription.

Chang Baichuan stared at him in surprise, "You took all those medicines from yesterday?"

"Yeah!"

Long Fei nodded honestly.

Chang Baichuan exclaimed in disbelief, "Such fierce medicines, and you’re completely fine after taking them?"

Long Fei just smiled and remained silent.

Chang Baichuan put on a face of instant understanding, which made Long Fei seem as though he had been up to something with a woman all night.

In his view, that’s what the medicines were used for.

After a while, the sound of a car could be heard outside.

Long Fei looked through the glass door and saw, good lord, a line of black Mercedes parked outside, at least a dozen of them.

Such a display was like that of a government leader coming down for an inspection.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped out, followed by a group of burly men in black suits.

He led the way in, holding a red invitation in his hand, and approached the counter where he knocked and asked, "Who’s the chief physician here?"

"I am, I am!"

Chang Baichuan nodded repeatedly at these men.

The middle-aged man said, "This weekend, our boss is hosting a traditional Chinese medicine exchange conference, and all the famous doctors from Binhai City are going to be there. This is your invitation; make sure you come!"

Without any further ado, he placed the invitation down and turned to leave.

Chang Baichuan hurriedly asked, "May I ask, who is your boss?"

"Brother Tao of Binhai!"

The middle-aged man dropped the four words and turned, leading his men away.

Clutching the invitation, Chang Baichuan touched the cold sweat on his forehead and muttered, "Brother Tao? How could he be interested in my little pharmacy?"

Long Fei asked with curiosity, "Who’s Brother Tao?"

"Keep it down!"

Startled, Chang Baichuan shivered and quickly looked outside. After the cars had driven away, he explained to Long Fei, "Brother Tao of Binhai, he’s the big shot of the Binhai underworld!"

He gave a thumbs up, then opened the invitation, continued speaking, "This Brother Tao, his real name is He Hongtao. Used to be just a small-time thug, but somehow he got in good with the Shen Family of Capital City. You know about Elder Master Shen, right? Once He Hongtao had the Shen Family backing him, he made it big. Opened nightclubs, built bar streets, and got into mining—so high-profile these past years!"

Listening, Long Fei was taken aback, feeling this old man could have been wasting a talent for stand-up comedy.

Putting down the invitation, Chang Baichuan expressed his headache, "I’ve always feared dealing with these underworld types my whole life. Now, why would he bother hosting a traditional Chinese medicine conference? This is nonsense!"

Long Fei furrowed his brows, he had recently been studying traditional Chinese medicine and indeed wanted to exchange insights with these experts.

He suggested to Chang Baichuan, "If you don’t want to go, let me take your place! I’ve been researching Chinese medicine recently; it’s a great opportunity to broaden my horizon."

Chang Baichuan asked excitedly, "Aren’t you afraid of these people?"

Long Fei laughed, "I’m a grown man; they surely won’t harass me, will they?"

"Of course, they won’t!"

Chang Baichuan chuckled, handed over the invitation, and instructed him, "If you want to go, then go. There’s no name on the invite. If they ask, just give them the name of our pharmacy and say you’re my disciple!"

Long Fei nodded, took the invitation, and the packaged herbs, then pulled out his bank card to settle the bill.

This Chang Baichuan was no simpleton; even a small pharmacy like his had a complete selection of herbs.

The ginseng was wild, usually only available in bigger pharmacies.

It seemed Chang Baichuan thought Long Fei had done him a big favor, so he specially gave him a ten percent discount at checkout, saving Long Fei over ten thousand.

After Long Fei left, Chang Baichuan hastily took out his cell phone and made a call.

Once connected, he immediately asked, "Master, He Hongtao’s men came today, saying they want to hold a traditional Chinese medicine conference. Do you know about this?"

The person on the other end replied, "Yes, I’m aware. This conference is arranged by Third Master Shen. His father suffers from a rare disease, and after consulting myriad famous doctors to no avail, they’re hoping to try their luck in Binhai City."

Chang Baichuan expressed his surprise, "You mean Elder Master Shen?"

The other party confirmed, "Exactly, and coming along are some of the best in there traditional Chinese medicine field from Capital City. If you’re not busy, come over, it would be good for you to expand your horizons."

"What?"

With a stunned expression, Chang Baichuan hung up the phone and hurried out the door, intending to get the invitation back from Long Fei.

But Long Fei had already left, nowhere to be seen.

Chang Baichuan slapped his forehead, lamenting, "Chang, oh Chang, if you were a bit less cautious. How could you so easily give away such a good opportunity!"

He had thought it was just underworld folks messing around, trying to get a slice of the traditional medicine industry.

Little did he know, they were actually looking for a cure for Elder Master Shen.
