"What?"

Huang Wenlei was shocked to hear this. It was as if he had arranged the whole thing.

But he swore to heaven and earth, it had nothing to do with him.

To prove his innocence, he immediately ordered the store manager, "Go to the surrounding pharmacies and get the goods. I want enough medicinal herbs in front of me within half an hour."

"Yes, President Huang."

The store owner said respectfully, and then went to work on getting the goods.

However, after only ten minutes, the store owner returned with an embarrassed look.

"President Huang, I've already asked. These herbs in all our branches have been swept away. There's not even an ounce left."

"What? Is that possible? Who did this? Could other pharmacies be deliberately clearing out the goods to disrupt the market?"

Huang Wenlei asked with a frown.

The store manager shook his head. "I don't think so. It was bought by a woman from out of town. When the woman came, she was followed by many bodyguards. She seemed to be a rich young lady. And it's not just our Tongren Xuan. I've inquired. All the pharmacies' medicinal herbs were swept away by that young lady."

"Is that so?"

Huang Wenlei was confused. "These herbs are not rare. Why did this young lady come to Jiaonan to sweep up the goods?"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly because he realized that the young lady might also be trying to refine the Qingxin Dan (Heart-Cleansing Pill). Was her purpose in refining the Qingxin Dan also to climb Icefire Island?

Chen Xiao took a step forward and asked, "Store manager, do you know the address of that young lady? I would like to visit her personally."

The store manager knew that Chen Xiao had been brought by Huang Wenlei, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He cupped his fist and said, "Sir, you're making things difficult for me. She just came to buy medicine. How could I have the right to ask her where she lives..."

Chen Xiao was slightly embarrassed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. She bought so much medicine, I thought you would need to deliver it to her residence."

The store owner explained, "No, that lady brought a lot of people with her. There's no need for us to deliver the medicine."

At this time, Sun Buzhou said impatiently, "Is it possible that such a big Jiaonan City can't even buy these few ordinary medicinal herbs?"

"Well, it's not like there aren't any..."

The store manager hesitated for a moment and glanced at Sun Buzhou. "Old Sir, I don't know if you've heard of the 'Underground Medicinal Herb Auction'?"

Huang Wenlei said proudly, "Store manager, this is no ordinary old sir. Open your eyes and take a look. This is the national medical master, Sun Buzhou, Old Mr. Sun!"

The store manager took a closer look and became even more respectful. "Old Mr. Sun, I didn't recognize you just now. Please forgive me."

Sun Buzhou waved his hand. "It's okay. Tell me quickly, what is this underground medicinal herb auction?"

The store manager quickly introduced, "Old Mr. Sun, that underground medicinal herb auction is held once a week. The medicinal herbs on it are not ordered from the wholesale market, but are directly collected from the medicine farmers or herbalists in the mountains. There are many kinds of medicinal herbs. Maybe you can buy the herbs you want there, and if you're lucky, you might even find some old herbs that are more than a hundred years old."

This kind of auction is organized privately and is not meant to be seen, so it is called an underground medicinal herb auction.

Sun Buzhou quickly asked, "When does this auction start?"

Sun Buzhou was not the kind of old-fashioned person. He didn't care at all whether it was underground or not. Being able to buy medicinal herbs was the real deal.

The store manager quickly looked at the date and said, "There will be one tonight at eight o'clock, held at Yanziyuan (Swallow Garden)!"

Chen Xiao looked at the time. It was already seven thirty, so he said immediately, "Time is of the essence. Let's set off now."

The group immediately left Tongren Xuan and headed to Yanziyuan.

Yanziyuan was originally a mansion built by a comprador in the Republic of China period. However, as time went by and things changed, Yanziyuan changed hands several times. The current owner is a hidden rich man.

Even Huang Wenlei, a local rich young man, didn't know who the current owner of Yanziyuan was.

He drove the crowd to the entrance of Yanziyuan and found that it was heavily guarded. A group of security guards wearing black suits and headsets were standing in front of the door.

As soon as the group walked over, they were stopped by the security guards.

"Sorry, everyone, please show your invitations!"

The security guard's words were polite, but his tone was cold.

Huang Wenlei frowned and said only one sentence: "I am Huang Wenlei!"

He thought that with his name and the Huang family's status in Jiaonan, these security guards would definitely let him go.

However, the security guard still said coldly after hearing his words, "Sorry, this is private property. If you want to go in, please show your invitation!"

Huang Wenlei was greatly displeased. "I said I'm Huang Wenlei. Don't you recognize me? I'm the young owner of Tongren Xuan. You dare to stop even me from this broken auction. Don't you want to work anymore?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help frowning.

This Huang Wenlei seemed experienced, but in reality, he was just a good-for-nothing.

Your Tongren Xuan is indeed the leader in the medicinal herb circle in Jiaonan City, but this is an underground auction, obviously incompatible with you!

As the saying goes, naked hatred exists between competitors. It would be strange if they let you in after hearing your name!

Sure enough, as soon as the security guard heard Huang Wenlei's name, he immediately said into the headset, "Everyone, gather at the entrance immediately. Someone is here to make trouble."

Huang Wenlei was immediately frightened and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not here to make trouble. I just want to go in and buy some medicinal herbs!"

At this moment, a black Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, and a middle-aged man with a receding hairline got out of the car.

The middle-aged man saw Sun Buzhou at a glance, and his eyes lit up. He walked up quickly and said in surprise, "Holy Healer Sun, I never thought I would meet you here!"

Sun Buzhou looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and couldn't help but look puzzled. "You are?"

The middle-aged man said excitedly, "Holy Healer Sun, you really are forgetful. I am Wu Degui. Five years ago, I suffered from a serious illness. You were the one who used your wonderful skills to save me. Otherwise, I would have died!"

Sun Buzhou then remembered, "Oh~~ I remember now. You are Boss Wu, who is in the real estate business!"

"Don't, don't, I don't deserve to be called boss, Holy Healer Sun, just call me Little Wu. Why are you here, Old Sir?"

Boss Wu asked with a smile on his face.

Sun Buzhou said with embarrassment, "I wanted to participate in this underground medicinal herb auction, but I was stopped by the security guards and they wouldn't let me in."

When Boss Wu heard this, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he glared fiercely at the security guards.

"You bunch of dogs, you're really blind, daring to stop even Holy Healer Sun. Do you all not want to work anymore?"
