Chapter 500: Chapter 337: Give It a Try (Five-in-One)

Zhou Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief upon escaping that situation.

She had seen too many customers like this one before—usually they were wealthy and capable, people she could not afford to offend.

Then she squeezed out a smile and asked the burly man before her with great enthusiasm,

"Sir, what would you like?"

"Quickly, give me a KSW-01 type · Bio-Cell Repair Agent."

The burly man said with utmost urgency.

"Right away!"

Zhou Qin quickly took out a green injection vial from beneath the counter.

"How much?"

The man hurriedly asked.

"Sir, this drug is 50 million Federation Coins, and we support all Federation bank cards here,"

Zhou Qin said with a smile.

"50 million? Why is it so expensive? Isn’t this drug sold for only 10 million within the Federation? And there is even a 20% discount during promotions!"

The burly man was stunned by the price.

"Sorry, but that’s the price we charge here,"

Zhou Qin shook her head and replied.

"Is this a rip-off store?"

The burly man asked angrily.

"Sir, we are a legitimate store; please don’t make unfounded accusations,"

Zhou Qin’s smile strained slightly as she spoke.

"Hmph, have I spoken out of turn? Isn’t your pricing extortionate?"

The burly man also questioned her sharply.

Upon hearing the man’s words, Zhou Qin felt helpless, almost doubting whether she had checked the almanac before leaving home today, as if she had encountered another troublemaker.

So she turned her head and shouted inside,

"Manager Zheng Xi!"

At this point, a greasy middle-aged man with a beer belly, dressed in a white shirt, came over and asked Zhou Qin,

"What’s the matter?"

"This customer has a complaint about the price of our drugs; could you deal with him?"

Zhou Qin explained to Manager Zheng Xi.

"Oh, I see! Actually, it’s not expensive at all,"

Manager Zheng Xi turned to the burly man and defended with a smile.

"Not expensive? It’s not expensive, it’s just a rip-off."

The man before him couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

Hearing the man’s words, Zheng Xi’s brow furrowed and he said sharply,

"Sir, please watch your language. We are a regular shop with clearly marked prices for all goods!"

"I only have 10 million on me, and I’m in a hurry to save someone. Please, sell it to me at a discount."

The burly man answered anxiously.

"Sir, if you can afford it, buy it; if you can’t, I can’t help you. That’s the high price,"

Zheng Xi said firmly.

"I only have that much money. You have to sell it even if you don’t want to!"

The burly man pulled out a stack of 10,000 Federation Coin notes, placed them on the counter, grabbed the drug, and ran outside.

"Robbery! Catch him!"

Zheng Xi shouted out in alarm and anger.

At this moment, a security officer at the door immediately rushed forward and grabbed the burly man by the arm, the two struggling with each other.

Soon after, the security captain charged out from inside.

Seeing this, Su Ming walked over unobtrusively and blocked the security captain’s way, tripping him with his foot.

Bang!

The security captain fell to the ground.

Then the burly man brutally kicked the guard off him, broke free from the struggle, and ran off with the drug, disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, Manager Zheng Xi walked up to Su Ming with an unpleasant tone,

"Sir, did you do that on purpose?"

"On purpose? Your man stepped on my foot, and I haven’t even troubled you about it yet, but you’re turning this around on me. Is this how you treat your customers?"

Su Ming replied with evident interest.

"Sir, we would certainly welcome you if you were a customer, but I don’t think you are. You seem more like an accomplice to that guy,"

Zheng Xi said to Su Ming, very upset.

"You’re slandering me—that is a serious accusation,"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zheng Xi.

"Whether I’m slandering you is not for you to decide. Neither you nor your accomplice will get away with this,"

Zh Zheng Xi replied with a cold snort.

"Alright, then. I’ll be waiting,"

Su Ming said calmly.

Shortly, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, and then five Patrol Guards wearing Second Generation Exoskeleton Armor arrived, led by a brawny middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

"Captain Wu, you’ve finally arrived. This man collaborated with a Lieutenant to steal medicine from our store,"

Zheng Xi hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"It was clearly your person who stepped on my foot and then tripped over themselves, and now you’re accusing me of being an accomplice. You’ve really got some nerve,"

Su Ming replied calmly.

Captain Wu Yang looked Su Ming up and down, dressed in casual clothes, and something about him seemed familiar. He then politely asked,

"Sir, please show your ID."

"Here you go!"

Su Ming handed over his military officer card to Wu Yang.

Wu Yang took only one look and immediately saluted,

"Commander!"

Somehow, the only thing in the room colder than the medical atmosphere was

After hearing Wu Yang’s words, Zheng Xi’s expression stiffened, and his heart sank.

Su Ming then calmly said to Wu Yang,

"Captain Wu, I will handle the situation here; you may take your team and leave."

"Of course, Commander!"

Wu Yang was relieved not to have to deal with the situation himself.

Hearing Su Ming’s words, he quickly led his team away.

Watching Wu Yang and the others leave, Zheng Xi said angrily to Su Ming,

"Don’t think that just because you have a high military rank, we will be scared of you. Vox Biological Group is not to be trifled with!"

"I know, your Vox Biological Group is so famous, how could I not know? But what can you do about that?"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"You..."

Zheng Xi was furious, about to burst with curses when suddenly a pleasant voice came forth.

"Manager Zheng, please step aside."

Su Ming turned his head toward the voice and saw a woman dressed in a teal cheongsam, with picturesque eyebrows, a serene and spirited aura, and eyes sparkling like stars, approaching.

When Zheng Xi saw this woman, he greeted her with a scared expression.
