Chapter 742: Chapter 742: Huo Xingzhou, You Jealous Husband!

Lu Yingxue looked at the dense crowd outside the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, feeling a surge of unease in her heart!

What should be done now!

Does she have to stop the free clinic?

"Miss, you need to make a decision quickly. It’s lunchtime, and there’s still time. Solve today’s crisis, and tomorrow the supplies from Southwest will arrive by air!" the warehouse manager urged beside her.

Lu Yingxue was deeply annoyed: "I can’t just magically produce so many herbs!"

Just as she had no ideas, a call came in.

It was from Zhong Yi.

What’s he calling for?

Lu Yingxue answered the phone, her tone extremely unfriendly.

"Hello, why are you contacting me? I have nothing to do with you anymore!"

"I have three tons of processed medicinal herbs right here in the Imperial Capital warehouse."

Zhong Yi spoke just one sentence, and Lu Yingxue’s expression froze.

She gripped the phone tightly, finally realizing the herb destruction was no accident.

Otherwise, how would Zhong Yi know she was short on herbs and conveniently have three tons ready!

Her breathing was somewhat heavy: "What are your conditions?"

"Ten times the price, first come, first served."

The call was directly disconnected, giving Lu Yingxue no time to think.

Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth, her face turned ugly.

Ten times?

Zhong Yi is taking advantage of the situation.

But she happens to lack these herbs urgently!

The warehouse manager heard some commotion and said, "Miss, ten times the price is too high!"

"Do you think I don’t know! But do I have a choice?"

Lu Yingxue steadied herself, taking a couple of deep breaths.

Ten times!

Three tons of herbs are somewhat acceptable.

Usually, one ton of herbs costs two hundred thousand, three tons would be about six hundred thousand. Expensive herbs aren’t included here, some are priced per gram.

Those three tons of herbs would nearly be a million.

Ten times!

That’s ten million!

Spending ten million in just one afternoon?

Damn it!

But compared to her reputation, the money seems trivial.

As long as she gets through this afternoon, tomorrow’s Southwest herbs can arrive and she can overcome this crisis.

Today was unprepared, but tomorrow, once the herbs arrive, she will definitely send many people to guard, and have Zhao Chang send them in two batches for extra security.

This way, she can ensure foolproof safety.

After making up her mind, Lu Yingxue dialed back the phone.

The dial tone made her heart unsettled.

Why doesn’t Zhong Yi pick up quickly!

After calling twice, Zhong Yi answered.

Lu Yingxue immediately complained rudely: "Why did you take so long to answer!"

Zhong Yi calmly replied, his words irritating: "When I answer the phone is my freedom. You need me, so be polite. Money isn’t very necessary for me, but herbs are crucial for you."

Lu Yingxue bit her lip, filled with frustration.

Zhong Yi was right!

Currently, no supplier in the Imperial Capital could provide large quantities of herbs.

She had already reached out to all her contacts, and the rest... were likely dealt with by Zhong Yi.

So, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall was short of the herbs he had!

Who would have thought the Lu Family would be forced into such a situation!

Lu Yingxue was infuriated by Zhong Yi and asked, "Is your offer real? Do you really have that many processed herbs?"

"Don’t believe it then."

"Zhong Yi, there’s no foundational trust between us! I trusted you before, and what did I get in return! I was just asking a question, is this your cooperative attitude?"

Zhong Yi didn’t speak.

His attitude was very casual.

As if he was certain Lu Yingxue had no other options but to accept.

Lu Yingxue was forced into a tough spot.

She shook with anger and said, "I’ll transfer half the deposit to you, tell me the location. I need to inspect the goods!"

"The price has gone up now."

Zhong Yi’s tone was somewhat casual, "It was ten times just now, now it’s twenty times. If you want it, transfer the full amount of twenty million directly to my account, and I’ll have Wan Jiang contact you to transport the goods. Otherwise, don’t bother talking!"

"Zhong Yi, you’re too outrageous!"

Lu Yingxue hadn’t expected the man to raise the price from ten to twenty times.

Did he really see her as an easy target!

"You could choose not to, after all, the Imperial Capital Female Hua Tuo isn’t me. I see more and more people lining up at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, you said none would be refused treatment, how will you wrap it up?"

Zhong Yi had hit her Achilles’ heel.

Lu Yingxue was utterly speechless!

"You better decide quickly, or the price will rise again soon."

Zhong Yi held the initiative, raising the price.

Lu Yingxue had no choice but to say, "Alright, I’ll transfer the money to you now. Let Wan Jiang take me there, I need to inspect the goods immediately!"

Lunchtime lasts only two hours.

She couldn’t afford any delay.

If she delayed further, there wouldn’t be enough time.

"Alright."

Zhong Yi responded.

Lu Yingxue directly transferred twenty million to Zhong Yi, thinking if he took the money and didn’t deliver, she’d report him for fraud!

...

Inside the hospital room.

Zhong Yi received two million on the bank card.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Wan Jiang, go contact Lu Yingxue to open the warehouse for inspection. Have her take the goods out..."

"Yes."

Wan Jiang glanced at another man on the sofa, thinking President Huo and Young Master Zhong together would surely bring misfortune to someone.

He left the hospital room, gently closing the door.

The hospital room became much quieter.

Zhong Yi glanced at the man on the sofa; under the sunlight, he looked incredibly handsome.

But still detestable.

He said languidly, "It’s done, twenty million transferred to you, not a penny less."

Sitting on the sofa, Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly, his expression indifferent: "Thank you for your patronage."

"Huo Xingzhou, isn’t helping the Lu Family for this money a bit shortsighted?" Zhong Yi couldn’t quite understand, but he knew Huo Xingzhou wasn’t stupid.

He had a plan.

"This amount, twenty million, isn’t insignificant."

"You’re really poor! They didn’t smash your Rolls-Royce, they smashed your brains! You could have negotiated different terms with Lu Yingxue, like proving Qiao Xi’s innocence! Having her publicly apologize!"

Huo Xingzhou’s mouth curved into a slight smile: "The Lu Family values reputation most. Do you think they’d agree to a public apology? You have to take revenge bit by bit, just like eating a meal one bite at a time."

First, let the Lu Family taste some sweetness.

Zhong Yi said angrily, "Can you share your plan with me?"

Huo Xingzhou asked in return, "What plan do you have for the heir dispute? Why don’t you share it with me?"

Everyone has secrets.

Zhong Yi’s eyes flared with frustration as he looked at him.

Today marks the second day Lu Yingxue sits for consultations at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall. Tomorrow will be the third.

On this last day, Huo Xingzhou was bound to make a big move.

No one knows what it might be!

Huo Xingzhou stood up and said, "Farewell, as of tomorrow Shen Xuanzhi will take over the medicinal diet, Qiao Xi will no longer make it for you."

Zhong Yi glared at his back, filled with anger.

"Huo Xingzhou, you jealous man!"
