“Damn it! Old man, do you know who I am? Say it again if you dare,” the young man said, pointing at Zhu Zizhen’s nose.
“I don’t care who you are, do you know who I am?” Zhu Zizhen was also angered. As the divine doctor Zhu Zizhen, how could he lose face to a junior?
“Good! Very good! You think you’ve lived long enough,” the young man said, nodding in anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Young Master.” At this moment, a man in his forties appeared behind the young man. Ye Bufan glanced at him and knew his strength—Martial Venerate.
“Uncle Wan, you’re here at the right time. Cripple them,” the young man said, pointing at Zhu Zizhen and Ye Bufan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan couldn’t help but frown. This brat was bloodthirsty. Ye Bufan hadn’t said anything, but he had already been added to his death list.
“Young Master, Master said that this trip to Jinhe, you not only represent yourself but also the Yue family of Huzhou. Our goal is the Marrow Cleansing Pill. You can’t act recklessly like you did in Huzhou. Also, every move we make will be watched by people from other families, so we must be cautious with our words and actions,” the man called Uncle Wan said calmly.
Yue Yangshuo looked at Zhu Zizhen and Ye Bufan, his eyes practically spitting fire. No one in Huzhou dared to speak to him like this, nor did anyone in the cities around Huzhou. Now, as soon as he arrived in Jinhe, he encountered an old man. The more Yue Yangshuo thought about it, the more indignant he felt.
“Good! Very good! I’ll remember you, especially you, old man,” Yue Yangshuo said, turning to leave. Wan Buqun quickly followed behind Yue Yangshuo.
“Yue family, Yue Yangshuo,” Zhu Zizhen muttered the name, his face changing.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Bufan asked.
“This Yue Yangshuo has a bad reputation. Compared to him, Yang Fei from the Yang family was just playing child’s games,” Zhu Zizhen said.
From Zhu Zizhen, Ye Bufan learned that Yue Yangshuo had harmed many people, and his methods were extremely cruel. He had heard that he had forced himself on a girl, and the girl couldn’t bear it and committed suicide by jumping off a building. As a result, her parents came to confront him, and Yue Yangshuo directly beat them severely.
Later, when the girl’s parents were about to sue Yue Yangshuo, they disappeared as if they had vanished into thin air. Rumor had it that they were silenced by Yue Yangshuo.
“He’s truly a beast!” Ye Bufan snorted coldly. “I can’t believe such things are happening in Great Xia.”
“Moreover, I heard that Yue Yangshuo, centered in Huzhou, formed an alliance or some association with young masters from various influential families, banding together,” Zhu Zizhen explained. “This organization of theirs uses family resources to not only bring down many smaller influential families but also to do things worse than beasts.”
“For example?” Ye Bufan asked.
“They selected the women from the families they harmed and sent them to nightclubs. The men either died or were forced to do unspeakable things,” Zhu Zizhen said.
“This is simply a scourge!” Ye Bufan became more and more angry as he listened. Since Yue Yangshuo had made threats to Ye Bufan earlier, it was clear that Yue Yangshuo would definitely make a move against Zhu Zizhen and Ye Bufan. This further solidified Ye Bufan’s determination to eliminate these scourges.
Ye Bufan and Zhu Zizhen left the hotel and returned to the villa.
Wang Xinyan was standing at the door, waiting for Ye Bufan to return. As soon as they appeared, Wang Xinyan rushed over.
“Ye Bufan!” Wang Xinyan shouted, blocking Ye Bufan’s path.
“Speak! Why did you change the lock on your villa? I can’t even get in,” Wang Xinyan said with a frown. “Are you hiding a woman in the villa?”
Zhu Zizhen was startled by Wang Xinyan’s imposing manner but quickly chuckled.
“I’ve already told Chu Chu. Let’s see how you explain yourself later,” Wang Xinyan said proudly.
As soon as Wang Xinyan finished speaking, Chu Mengyao’s call came through. Wang Xinyan smiled when she saw Chu Mengyao’s name displayed on Ye Bufan’s phone and said, “Let’s see how you explain this.”
“Hello,” Ye Bufan answered the phone.
“It’s me.” Chu Mengyao paused for a few seconds and said, “I… I heard from Xinyan that you changed the villa door?”
“Yes.” Ye Bufan said calmly, “Old Zhu just moved in recently. We’re both busy saving people.”
“That’s good.” Chu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. “I thought Xinyan might have disturbed your rest, so you changed the lock. Xinyan has always been like this, very outgoing and unrestrained. Please bear with her.”
Chu Mengyao said, lightly biting her lip, a little nervous.
“When are you free? I’d like to treat you to a meal,” Chu Mengyao said.
“Sure.” Ye Bufan didn’t refuse, and Chu Mengyao’s worried heart finally settled.
“I mean, just you… and me… alone,” Chu Mengyao confirmed again.
“Okay.” Ye Bufan replied decisively.
“Alright, tell me when you’re free, and I’ll arrange the time and place.”
“Anytime is fine. Just let me know once you’ve decided,” Ye Bufan said.
Wang Xinyan, listening to Ye Bufan’s reply, couldn’t help but smile.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xinyan looked at Ye Bufan and said, “I thought someone like you, who came from the mountains and was detached from worldly affairs, would reject Chu Chu.”
“Even though I come from the mountains, I understand human relationships,” Ye Bufan replied.
“Alright, I heard you say you and Dr. Zhu are saving people. Let me see who you’re saving,” Wang Xinyan said, putting on a matronly air.
Zhu Zizhen looked at Ye Bufan. Seeing Ye Bufan nod, Zhu Zizhen opened the door.
“I’ll warn you, don’t scare them, and don’t get scared by them,” Zhu Zizhen reminded him.
“Don’t worry,” Wang Xinyan said. Then, she turned to Ye Bufan and said, “You said before that you’d teach me how to improve my sixth sense. When are you going to do it? I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
Ye Bufan smiled upon hearing this. He didn’t expect Wang Xinyan to still remember.
“You… you’re not going to go back on your word, are you?” Wang Xinyan frowned and looked at Ye Bufan.
“A man’s word is his bond. I said I’d teach you, and I will,” Ye Bufan said.
As they chatted, they walked into the villa. As soon as they entered, Wang Xinyan smelled a strong medicinal scent.
“Such a strong medicinal smell.” Wang Xinyan took a deep sniff. “This medicine smells so good, and it’s different from the medicines I’ve seen before.”
Ye Bufan looked at Wang Xinyan and nodded in satisfaction. Wang Xinyan’s five senses were also very sharp, indicating she was a promising candidate.
“Oh my! What’s in the bathtub? Is it a mummy?” Wang Xinyan pointed at Huangfu Yujia in the bathtub.
