Chapter 717: Chapter 666: Encountering an Incident

In the following days, Liu Hun exchanged medical treatments for medicinal herbs from the villagers and gathered a significant amount of various herbs, including a type known as Linglong Grass, which a villager had mentioned unintentionally. In traditional Chinese medicine, this herb was considered useless since its only effect was to expel colds, yet it was extremely rare and grew in harsh environments. With modern Western medicine prevailing, almost no one paid attention to Linglong Grass anymore.

However, Liu Hun knew that when combined with some common medicinal herbs, Linglong Grass could be used to create a powerful Medicine Pill; hence, during these days, while treating the villagers, he was concurrently refining these Medicine Pills.

“Today is also the time to go to the city. Hopefully, someone will recognize their value; otherwise, the efforts of the past few days would have been in vain.”

A week later, like usual, Liu Hun woke up early, changed into a clean set of clothes, and started his journey to the city to sell the medicine.

Upon reaching the county town, Liu Hun took a taxi directly to the Fenglin Grand Hotel; as the only four-star hotel in the town, it was a popular destination for the wealthy to dine and entertain, and somewhat of a status symbol.

“Liu Hun?”

Unexpectedly, just as he entered the hotel, a surprised female voice reached his ears.

Following the voice, he saw a pretty girl in a long dress, blinking her beautiful eyes in astonishment as she stared at him continuously; standing next to the girl was a young man in a suit, though he was somewhat short, making the suit look somewhat ill-fitting.

Looks like he had encountered someone he knew.

The young man’s name was Wang Peng, and the girl was Song Xiaoxue, both were Liu Hun’s classmates from high school.

“Liu Hun? Weren’t you beaten silly three years ago? What, are you out wandering around, lost and not knowing how to get back?”

Upon seeing Liu Hun, a flash of surprise appeared in Wang Peng’s eyes, followed by a disdainful sneer.

During high school, both had vigorously pursued Song Xiaoxue. Although Wang Peng’s family was wealthier, back then, Liu Hun wasn’t foolish; he was skilled in fighting, beating Wang Peng every time he saw him at school, keeping him away from Song Xiaoxue.

Although Song Xiaoxue eventually accepted Liu Hun, his heroic act of saving the village belle turned him silly three years ago, and the matter had been shelved since then.

“Whether I’m a fool or not is none of your damn business. If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll still beat you up!”

Since waking up, Liu Hun had developed an aversion to being called a fool. Coupled with their past animosity, he was naturally not going to be amiable towards Wang Peng.

“Liu Hun, you really think you’re something special? Back in school, I might have been scared of you, but not anymore; and the woman you like, Song Xiaoxue, do you know? She sleeps in my bed every night,” seeing the clarity in Liu Hun’s eyes, Wang Peng realized that he must have come out of his delusional state. Initially, he had only intended to tease Liu Hun a bit before leaving, but he ended up being threatened by him instead. Not being able to contain himself, Wang Peng burst out in anger.

Feeling that this wasn’t satisfying enough, he even reached out and brazenly grabbed Song Xiaoxue’s chest right in front of her, his face full of a mocking and triumphant expression; embarrassed, Song Xiaoxue blushed and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hun simply chuckled and said, “That type of woman, I only wanted to play with her before, and she’s only fit for people like you to pick up after me.”

Despite the low volume of Liu Hun’s voice, the words fell like needles in Wang Peng’s ears, irritating him intensely; in an instant, Wang Peng was completely enraged.

“Fucking hell, Liu Hun, dare to say that again? You’re nothing but a poor fool, even if you have woken up, what does that change? It would take merely minutes for me to kill you!”

“Who would kill whom is still up for debate, why not give it a try?” Liu Hun taunted with a flick of his finger.

Provoked by Liu Hun’s words, Wang Peng immediately wanted to rush forward and fight Liu Hun to the death, but Song Xiaoxue grabbed him.

“Fucking hell, you bitch, are you still thinking about that poor fool? And when you were with him, did he sleep with you already?” Enraged, Wang Peng slapped Song Xiaoxue across the face, his eyes wide with fury as he shouted at her.

“Da Peng, it’s not… I mean to say, back in high school, you couldn’t beat him…” Although Song Xiaoxue felt wronged, she bit her lip and spoke softly to Wang Peng, considering their future ‘happy’ life together.

Witnessing this scene, Liu Hun felt somewhat emotional. Although he had no connection with Song Xiaoxue, since she had betrayed him, there was no sympathy from him.

“What’s going on? Xiao Peng, I gave you the day off today, why are you causing a scene here?” At that moment, a middle-aged man in a leather suit suddenly came out and scolded Wang Peng.

“Brother, this guy just hit me!” As soon as Wang Peng saw the restaurant’s elder brother arrive, he immediately complained with a sense of injustice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing’s gaze immediately fell on Liu Hun, observing his washed-out white clothes with a hint of iciness in his eyes.

“Security, come over and kick this kid out, and then ‘properly’ teach him a lesson, let him understand that this kind of place is not something he can just barge into and cause trouble,” Wang Qing glanced at Liu Hun and then directly instructed the security guards at the door.

“Hold on a second.” Just as Wang Qing’s words ended, a loud voice suddenly rang out from the stairwell.

Following the sound, a fat man dressed in sportswear, also wearing sunglasses, slowly walked towards the lobby.

“Master Lu, I was just teaching a lesson to a poor kid who was causing trouble in our restaurant. If I have disturbed you, Master Lu, I hope you can forgive me,” Wang Qing saw Lu Chuan slowly entering the scene and was taken aback; however, he quickly put on a flattering smile.

Lu Chuan’s father found success early, having opened a pharmaceutical company in the county town, but over these three years, Lu Chuan’s family business had grown rapidly, even expanding into the provincial city. Now, Lu Chuan was considered a prominent young master in the county town; even the owner of Fenglin Hotel would show him some respect, let alone a small manager like Wang Qing.

“Manager Wang, do you know who this poor kid is? He and I have grown up together wearing the same pants, and we even have a life-and-death friendship!” Lu Chuan took off his sunglasses from his nose bridge, then with a cold face said to Wang Qing.

The previously arrogant Wang Peng, seeing Lu Chuan intervening, suddenly turned a bit pale. He had just thought about how to teach Liu Hun a lesson to vent his anger, but he had forgotten about the relationship between Liu Hun and Lu Chuan, and even forgot that Lu Chuan was also in the restaurant today.

Lu Chuan’s and Liu Hun’s families were both from Shanghe Village, and the two had been friends since childhood. Lu Chuan’s father was busy with business, so he rarely looked after Lu Chuan. Therefore, every time Lu Chuan had a holiday, he would return to Shanghe Village to meet up with Liu Hun; hence, it was no exaggeration for Lu Chuan to say they were brothers who grew up wearing the same pants.

Three years ago, during the summer vacation, they both encountered someone bullying the village belle on the road and went to her rescue. Initially, the person who was supposed to be dumbfounded was Lu Chuan, but Liu Hun had pushed him at that moment, hence it turned out to be his turn to be dumbfounded.

Over these three years, Liu Hun’s parents had spent a lot of money treating Liu Hun’s illness, but without Lu Chuan’s secret aid, the Liu family might have already collapsed.

And this time, the reason Liu Hun came to find Lu Chuan in the county was hoping that Lu Chuan could help sell the Medicine Pills with his capabilities!

“Master Lu, I am truly sorry, I really wasn’t aware of this before. If there is any offense, I hope Master Lu can forgive me. Today, all your expenses here are on me, as an apology.” On hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Wang Qing repeatedly lamented and internally cursed Wang Peng profusely.

“What, do you think I, Lu Chuan, lack this bit of money?” Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes showed a hint of chillness.

“Master Lu, how do you think this matter should be handled to satisfy you? After all, we did not intend to offend you, so…”

Seeing that Lu Chuan had no intention of letting the matter go, Wang Qing was sweating profusely.

“Scoundrel, how do you think this matter should be dealt with?” Lu Chuan didn’t even glance at Wang Qing, then turned his gaze to Liu Hun and asked with a smile.

Seeing that Lu Chuan was still the same as before, with no distance between them, Liu Hun thought carefully and then indifferently replied, “In the future, I don’t want to see them in the county. As long as you don’t kill them, it’s up to you how you deal with them.”

“Haha. Good, I know what to do.”

Lu Chuan tacitly nodded and then, looking somewhat dazedly at Liu Hun, asked, “Scoundrel, are you sure you’re not dumb now?”

“Do you want me to beat you up to see?” Liu Hun rolled his eyes and said irritably, “Next time I hear the word ‘idiot’, I will definitely beat you up so bad you’ll be searching for your teeth all over the ground.”

Liu Hun didn’t care at all about how Lu Chuan would teach Wang Peng and Song Xiaoxue a lesson in the future; he didn’t even give them another glance and directly walked with Lu Chuan towards the upstairs private rooms.

“Scoundrel, when you called me earlier, I really didn’t expect that you had already regained consciousness. Good people don’t last, misfortune lingers for a thousand years, haha.” Lu Chuan warmly put his arm around Liu Hun’s shoulder and burst into laughter; evidently, he was exceptionally pleased with Liu Hun’s recovery.

“Thanks. If it weren’t for your hidden aid these past three years, our family would have probably collapsed long ago.” Liu Hun stopped walking and earnestly said to Lu Chuan.
