Chapter 1059 An Encounter with Reporter Xiaoxia
At this moment, Old Master Fang stood in the back garden, his spirit high. He held a watering can, tending to his beloved peonies.
The peonies, a vibrant mix of purples and reds, were resplendent and grand, symbolizing nobility and the potential to ascend to the pinnacle of society!
Setting down the watering can, Old Master Fang proceeded to feed the birds, busily occupied.
He was full of vigor, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed. Old Master Fang's expression changed. Taking two swift steps at a time, he approached the lounge chair, plopped down onto it, and assumed a sickly demeanor. Had one not witnessed his earlier sprightly movements, they might have actually believed he was ill.
"Grandpa!"
A familiar voice rang out.
Upon seeing Fang Pi, Old Master Fang breathed a sigh of relief. His voice hoarse and weak, he asked, "Grandson, what is it you need Grandpa for?"
"I came to see if you're feeling any better, Grandpa," Fang Pi inquired, his gaze assessing Old Master Fang. He didn't get straight to the point.
Old Master Fang smiled affectionately, nodding. "Much better, much better. Don't you trust Grandpa's medical skills? I'll likely be fully recovered soon!"
"Really? That's great!" Fang Pi exclaimed excitedly.
Old Master Fang blinked and said to Fang Pi, "Is there something specific you wanted to talk about?"
"Grandpa, I just heard that Du Ziteng's grandfather and the others have gone to work at Renxin Medical Hall..." Fang Pi said urgently.
"Ah? What do you mean, go to work?" Old Master Fang frowned. "And what is this Renxin Medical Hall?"
While Du Yunteng wasn't as renowned as Fang Shenyi, he was still a medical luminary in Jiangnan Province. The notion of him working for someone else was preposterous!
Fang Pi quickly replied, "Grandpa, the person in charge of Renxin Medical Hall is the Medicine King Chen, who defeated the King of Korean Medicine."
"So it's him..." Old Master Fang frowned, his expression turning displeased. He had seen the recent news reports, and many were using this incident to attack him. He was also quite annoyed with this Chen Xuan. Why was he making a name for himself?
Fang Pi incited, "Grandpa, you should quickly go and challenge that fellow!"
"Challenge him?" Old Master Fang furrowed his brow.
"Yes, Grandpa! Du Ziteng's grandfather and the others are all trying to curry favor with that guy. They've also been gossiping about you behind your back. If you defeat that guy, they'll surely shut up, and your reputation will be restored!"
Old Master Fang nodded slightly.
He had great confidence in his medical skills. His biggest failing was nervousness. In such important occasions, he would undoubtedly be anxious. However, facing a young man who had only recently gained fame, he was confident and wouldn't be nervous.
Defeating Chen Xuan and regaining his lost dignity was indeed a good option.
However, he wouldn't agree so readily.
Old Master Fang looked at Fang Pi, a half-smile on his face. "Grandson, did that kid do something to you?"
Fang Pi stammered, with almost no hesitation, gritting his teeth, he said,
"The Renxin Medical Hall that kid opened is very famous and has taken away the business from our newly opened clinic. I went to reason with him, but that kid didn't even admit it and even insulted you, Grandpa... The words were too unpleasant, so I won't tell you..."
At this moment, Fang Pi, in order to enrage Old Master Fang, was adding fuel to the fire.
Hearing this, Old Master Fang seized the opportunity. He suddenly stood up, gritting his teeth, and said, "That kid is simply too detestable! Tomorrow, I'll personally go to his place and teach him a lesson!"
Watching Old Master Fang move with such agility, Fang Pi was stunned. "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
Old Master Fang's expression turned somewhat embarrassed, but as the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. He chuckled, "Don't you trust Grandpa's medical skills yet?"
Fang Pi didn't suspect anything further, and with immense joy, he nodded repeatedly. "I believe, I believe, of course I believe!"
Hahaha, now that his Grandpa was better, that kid was definitely finished tomorrow!
At the same time, Chen Xuan was driving home slowly, seemingly unaware of the grandfather and grandson plotting against him.
As he was driving, he suddenly saw a group of burly men by the roadside, armed and chasing after a woman.
These men were all burly, with tattoos on their arms, looking fierce and sinister, clearly not good people.
The woman, on the other hand, had a slender figure and fair skin. She wore sneakers and black sweatpants, with a white T-shirt on her upper body and a sports bag slung over her shoulder.
However, her white T-shirt had been torn, with a large opening at the collar, revealing her snow-white skin, as smooth as milk. This only intensified the greedy gazes of the men behind her.
"In broad daylight, bullying a woman like this, it's too abominable!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan gritted his teeth. He slammed on the brakes, stopping his car not far away.
As he jumped out of the car, he suddenly realized that the woman looked very familiar. After a moment, his gaze sharpened, and he said, "It's her..."
This woman was none other than Xia Yilin, the intern reporter he had met before!
This upright girl had left a very good impression on Chen Xuan. Since she was an acquaintance, he couldn't stand by and do nothing. Thus, Chen Xuan lunged forward!
At this moment, Xia Yilin had encountered trouble. Her foot caught on a large stone, causing her to fall to the ground. Her knee was scraped, and blood flowed freely, but she paid it no mind, struggling to get up.
However, a cold voice then rang out, "Still running, huh? If you have the guts, run one more time!"
Xia Yilin looked up, her face instantly turning pale. In the time it took her to fall, those more than a dozen burly men had already rushed over, rubbing their hands menacingly, staring down at her. Their eyes looked as if they had already secured her.
"This is a society governed by law. You'd best not act rashly, or you'll be rotting in jail!"
Xia Yilin gritted her teeth, attempting to scare these men with the threat of imprisonment. But she had underestimated these fellows. They were all reckless and brutal. Some were even regular visitors to the detention center and were not afraid at all.
"Send us to jail? How ridiculous!" The leading burly man scoffed, waving his hand. "Someone bring her back with me. I'll make her suffer today."
The burly men behind him immediately let out lewd laughter, shamelessly appraising Xia Yilin, rubbing their palms as they moved forward.
The leading burly man didn't forget to remind them, "Right, don't forget the main task. First, get me the materials she photographed!"
Clearly, this burly man had not lost his senses to her beauty and still remembered that the important thing was the photos and videos Xia Yilin had captured.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yilin quickly clutched her camera tightly.
"Yes, boss!"
Her subordinates nodded in agreement, then looked at Xia Yilin, "Bitch, hand over the photos and videos you took quickly. I'll let you have a more comfortable time later."
"You wish! I will definitely expose your evil deeds!" Xia Yilin's arms, holding the camera, tightened even more, and she said indignantly.
