Chapter 282: Chapter 281 Disturbance at Hundred Herbs Hall

Wu Biao, standing by his side, was the first to chime in.

"Exactly, exactly, that son of a bitch Zhang Xiaoshan, I’ve suffered too much under his hands. He’s digging his own grave, we can’t miss this opportunity. Wei Bao, bring me along, will you?"

Hu Qiaoling’s man, Li Erniu, was also getting anxious.

"That kid Zhang Xiaoshan has made a fortune recently, he must have a good amount of cash on hand. I can help you guys trick him. After the deed is done, just share some money with me and that’s it."

"Exactly, exactly."

Wang Goudan said with an insidious smile.

"I’ve seen it with my very eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan has definitely slept with Luo Meili, and she’s been completely conquered by him. When he asks her for money, she hands it over without a peep. It would be best if we could saddle Zhang Xiaoshan with a high-interest loan, and then have Luo Meili help pay it off."

"Heh heh, let’s have Zhang Xiaoshan take out a bigger loan, and then have Luo Meili ’repay’ it, that woman is really something."

"I want a turn too."

"Hahaha."

At this moment, they were all certain that Zhang Xiaoshan was about to fall into their trap, each of them was so pleased they couldn’t stop grinning.

"Goudan, you seem to have brought quite a bit of money, why don’t you join us for a few rounds?"

"Play a few rounds, come on, let’s play."

Wang Goudan was itching to gamble.

Within an hour, Wang Goudan walked out of Wei Bao’s house with a dejected look on his face, mumbling curses under his breath.

"Dammit, I came to tip you guys off, and you ended up winning all my money, not leaving me a cent."

...

"Little Shan, are you really going to gamble with Wang Goudan?"

"I know you’ve been wanting to deal with Wei Bao for a while, that guy is truly despicable, but he’s been gambling for so many years. I heard he cheats too. I can understand how you feel, but maybe we should just forget about it?"

On the mountain road, Luo Meili was a bit worried.

She couldn’t help but speak up.

Zhang Xiaoshan just smiled slightly.

"Meili, have you just met me today? I don’t do things that I’m not sure of."

"Besides, do you really think I’m just doing this to get back at Wei Bao? I have other motives." Zhang Xiaoshan was quite candid with Luo Meili.

"Motives? What other motives do you have?"

"Heh heh, you’ll know when the time comes."

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan like this, Luo Meili felt inexplicably reassured.

When the two of them arrived in Qingshan County, Wang Goudan had already walked out of Wei Bao’s house broke.

"Oh dear, it’s getting a bit late."

Luo Meili checked the time and looked a bit worried.

"Little Shan, is your medicine really worth four hundred thousand?"

She glanced at Zhang Xiaoshan’s backpack with some doubt.

What kind of medicine could be that expensive?

Zhang Xiaoshan spoke confidently.

"It’s definitely worth that much, maybe even more. Let’s split up; you go and secure the deal with Hu Lili as normal; I will come find you with the money within an hour."

"Okay."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan so assured, Luo Meili got off the scooter. The town was not big; a few minutes’ walk would get her to the Wang family’s place.

Zhang Xiaoshan rode his motorcycle to the Hundred Herbs Hall.

Inside the Hundred Herbs Hall at the moment,

Lin Yanran, dressed in a white long dress, was checking the accounts.

Her beautiful and moving appearance caught the eyes of both patients and customers buying medicinal herbs, prompting them to take a second look. It could be said that Lin Yanran’s beauty alone accounted for forty percent of the business performance of the Hundred Herbs Hall’s branch in Qingshan Town.

"Miss, ever since you took over this shop, profits have increased several folds in just a month. Now, even your family will have to take notice of you."

Elder Li, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who had come with Lin Yanran from the family, said joyfully.

Lin Yanran spoke with a determined expression,

"With my abilities, let alone this small branch, even if the family entrusted me with the entirety of Lin’s Pharmaceutical, I would manage it smoothly. It’s a pity that because I am a daughter, I am neglected by my family. I came to this small Qingshan Town not only to find Red Sun Grass for my grandfather but also to prove to those in the family and on the board of directors that I am much stronger than those pampered heirs."

"Ah, if only the old chairman was in good health, he could have helped you, but he is gravely ill now," Elder Li sighed somewhat sorrowfully.

Lin Yanran, however, spoke with a sunny face,

"My grandfather has done so many good deeds and provided relief to so many poor patients. I believe he will certainly be rewarded for his kindness."

"Besides, since we were able to encounter Stone Clinging Ganoderma here, it’s also possible to find Red Sun Grass."

She thought of Zhang Xiaoshan. It had been a long time since they parted ways last time, and she didn’t know if there had been any progress with Zhang Xiaoshan’s search for Red Sun Grass.

"Ah."

Her gaze swept over the doorway, and she suddenly shouted excitedly.

At the entrance, Zhang Xiaoshan was walking in with a backpack on his back.

"Little brother, what brings a busy person like you to my humble shop?"

Lin Yanran ran excitedly toward Zhang Xiaoshan. Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

In reality, Lin Yanran’s personality was quite playful and mischievous, as evidenced by the time she pretended to be Zhang Xiaoshan’s girlfriend to teach Wu Xiaoru and Wang Xiaolong a lesson.

Her words were quite teasing at the moment.

Their relationship had instantly become closer.

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled and said,

"Haven’t I been busy lately? Last time, you stood up for me against Zheng Jianjiang, the quack doctor from the clinic opposite County First Middle School. I haven’t had the chance to thank you yet."

"Giggle, that scoundrel tarnished the reputation of Hundred Herbs Hall. You helped me deal with that trash. If anyone should be thanking, it should be me thanking you," said Lin Yanran.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

And then.

"Bang."

A crisp sound rang out as the glass of the Hundred Herbs Hall was shattered.

"Be careful."

Following that, broken stones and tiles flew in from outside.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan instantly pulled Lin Yanran into his arms instinctively and turned around to shield her tightly.

Immediately after, a group of men dressed like peasants carrying a coffin charged in.

"Quack doctor, you killed people, you quack doctor, you owe us lives!" bellowed a burly man fiercely.

The customers in the store were startled and scattered in all directions, while the staff members hid away in fear.

Lin Yanran, however, wasn’t flustered and didn’t care about those people. She just looked up, staring blankly at Zhang Xiaoshan who was protecting her.

A different kind of emotion swiftly surged up in her heart.

Was this what it felt like to be protected?
