Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Are You Sick?

"Do these people think I’m dead?" Fu Xingzhou lightly pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes filled with a dark hostility, "Can all sorts of demons and monsters now act recklessly under my name?"

Ah Si quickly responded, "Don’t worry, sir, I’ll take care of this matter. However, the madam may have misunderstood that this was your instigation, should I..."

"No need."

He guessed that by now she must detest him thoroughly, but wasn’t that better?

Pushing her farther away was the very outcome he had always desired, wasn’t it?

Having achieved his goal, there was no need to make redundant explanations.

Through the tea-colored car glass, Fu Xingzhou looked toward the pharmacy across the street, where a small window bore the words "Please ring the bell for medicine at night."

He only needed to ring that doorbell to see her.

She was so close to him, yet so far away.

And he, he didn’t even have the courage to ring the bell.

Not until the car slowly pulled away did Ye Yan emerge from behind the curtains.

She harbored a bone-deep hatred for him, having fallen into her current plight thanks to his doing, yet when Ah Si mentioned his illness, she still felt a twinge in her heart.

She even kept her gaze on the disappearing car until it was out of sight.

Crazy, truly crazy.

Did she have a masochistic tendency to still harbor hope for this man?

Ye Yan, snap out of it.

Just as Ye Yan started her shift, someone came to buy medicine.

These days, she had familiarized herself with every single medication and their placement in the store.

Moreover, she didn’t need any additional professional training; she knew exactly which medicine was required for which illness, very professionally.

"With the condition you’ve described, you should take it seriously," Ye Yan handed the customer two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, "This medication can only relieve your symptoms temporarily, I suggest you still go to the hospital for a check-up."

After Ye Yan’s professional advice, the customer immediately decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up.

"You are a true professional doctor indeed," the store manager said with a smile, "In the future, our pharmacy might even be able to provide medical consultations."

Ye Yan gave a smile and went off to greet the next round of customers.

"Hello, what medicine do you need?"

The newcomers were a man and a woman; the man had his head down, supporting the girl, who seemed to be injured.

"My girlfriend’s foot is blistered, hurry and bring some disinfectant and band-aids," the man ordered in a commanding tone.

Having served as a doctor for so long, Ye Yan had encountered all sorts of customers, but she still paused when the man looked up.

Pei Ye.

Pei Ye and Zeng Qian had gone shopping and Zeng Qian, having worn a pair of new high heels, had blistered her heels

The two headed to the nearest pharmacy for medicine and unexpectedly ran into Ye Yan.

"Isn’t that Dr. Ye?" Pei Ye glanced at Ye Yan wearing her shop assistant’s uniform, "A distinguished doctor from the VIP floor of Holy Land Hospital, how did you end up working in a pharmacy?"

Ye Yan didn’t respond to his sarcasm: "Please wait a moment, I’ll get your medicine."

"Is that the Ye Yan you were talking about?" Zeng Qian looked at the graceful figure, "She really looks like a vixen."

"Not looking like that, how could she work as a doctor in the VIP level of Holy Land, where it’s all just rich people’s playthings."

Ye Yan came over with disinfectant and band-aids, "Please go to the front desk to check out."

"I bought your medicine; you should provide us with service, right?"

Pei Ye helped Zeng Qian to sit down by the side.

Zeng Qian stretched out her foot, "Help me take off my shoe and apply the medicine."

Ye Yan frowned. Did these two have a problem in their heads, buying a band-aid and feeling superior about it?

"What are you standing there for? I told you to help me apply the medicine." Zeng Qian was getting annoyed because Ye Yan hadn’t moved, "Do you think you are in any position to refuse? You’re just a lowly pharmacy worker, and it’s an honor for you to help me apply medicine."

"Didn’t you hear that? My girlfriend told you to apply the medicine." Pei Ye was gloating by the side, "What kind of staff do you hire here, treating us gods like this? I’m going to file a complaint."

The store manager and several sales clerks were dumbfounded.

They had been selling medicine for so long and had never seen such shameless people.

What did they mean by "lowly pharmacy worker"? They hadn’t stolen or robbed anyone; they were making money through their own sweat, and still, they were being mocked.

The store manager was about to step forward, but Ye Yan stopped her.

"Our place is a pharmacy, not a hospital. We only provide medication, not a medicine application service." Ye Yan took back the medicine she had just pulled out, "Furthermore, we don’t sell moron pills, so you should try somewhere else."

"You, who are you calling a moron?" Zeng Qian sprang up from her seat, accidentally bumping her injury and crying out in pain.

Seeing his girlfriend in distress, Pei Ye stepped forward and confronted Ye Yan, "What’s there for you to be so proud of? The major hospitals don’t want you; you can only work in this tiny pharmacy. You’re no longer that VIP level doctor; you’ll spend your whole life here taking off other people’s shoes."

Before Ye Yan could speak, suddenly two uniformed individuals entered the shop.

They looked around and went straight to Pei Ye.

"We’re from the Economic Crime Investigation Unit." The two showed their badges, "Are you Pei Ye?"

"I, I am." Pei Ye, hearing the words "economic crime", suddenly became flustered, "What’s the matter?"

"After our investigation, we’ve found that you are related to several medical bribery cases involving significant amounts of money. Please come with us to assist with the investigation."

"How could that be possible? How could I be involved in such cases? You must have made a mistake."

"Please come with us." The two approached and took hold of Pei Ye’s arms, one on each side.

Zeng Qian didn’t care about the pain in her foot anymore. She lunged forward, punching and kicking the two officers, "Let go, let go of my husband. Do you know who my grandfather is? My grandfather is Zeng Zhixiong."

At that moment, several more people came in. They stepped forward to restrain Zeng Qian, "Assaulting a public officer; take her away too."

"My grandfather is Zeng Zhixiong. You dare to take me away; watch out or my grandfather will skin you alive."

"Zeng Zhixiong?" One of the officers thought for a moment, "You’ll see your grandfather very soon; he entered before you did."

"What?" Zeng Qian’s eyes widened, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Zeng Zhixiong has accepted a large amount of bribes and is also related to two medical accidents." The officer "kindly" explained, "You better contact a lawyer quickly to see if you can get a reduced sentence."

"I haven’t committed a crime." Pei Ye was still struggling, "I am a law-abiding good citizen."

"The evidence is conclusive; take them away now."

The officers’ patience ran out, and they took Pei Ye and Zeng Qian away from the pharmacy.

As Pei Ye and Zeng Qian’s arguing faded away, the store manager spat toward the door, "People like that really deserve it, thinking they’re so great just because they have some money."

Ye Yan didn’t hear the store manager’s rant; she had been wondering since just now why Pei Ye knew about her being turned away by various major hospitals? He had spoken with such certainty, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
