Chapter 059: The Overdue Slap in the Face

  On the road leading to Lianqiao International Building, Qin Lang was walking behind Cao Yan and others, expressionless, a few meters away.

  Although he successfully found a backer to pay the bill for himself, Qin Lang was not happy. Despite appearing to have successfully played a "empty city plan", using an empty package to solve the urgent need. He was very clear that Cao Yan's money also came from his father. Cheating this woman was actually still indirectly taking money from his father's pocket.

  "Anyway, the money Father gave to this woman was spent recklessly by her. I swindled some from her, which counts as helping Father get some back."

  As he walked, Qin Lang also came to understand.

  Just looking at Cao Yan and the man's figure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

  Qin Fengyang gave Cao Yan an allowance of up to 100,000 yuan every month. Even so, Cao Yan often cried about being poor and not having enough money to spend with Qin Fengyang. However, behind his back, she enjoyed Qin Fengyang's favoritism and the luxurious life he provided while flirting with others, which was utterly shameless.

  "If I had a choice, I'd rather not play this 'empty city trick', but instead grasp the handle of this woman and let father see her true face." Qin Lang shook his head regretfully.

  Although Cao Yan mistakenly thought he had grasped something in his hand, he himself knew that what was in his hand was just an empty package and not anything incriminating at all.

  If it weren't for this, he would have already told his father about the scene in front of him on the phone call he just made to his father. At that time, he will hand over the evidence to his father, which is enough to make Cao Yan unable to deny it.

  But in fact, he had no evidence. So he could only endure for the time being, suppressing his disgust towards this woman in his heart, taking an empty bag to teach the other party a small lesson, for the stupid Qin Lang in the past, and also for his own father, to vent his anger first.

  "Yanyan, do you really want to buy something for this fool? In my opinion, it's better to just..." Zhu Ganglie glanced at Qin Lang behind him and made a snatching gesture towards Cao Yan.

  Cao Yan's face changed, "I'm warning you, don't mess around. I've finally managed to calm this fool down, and if you provoke him, don't blame me for turning against you. Hmph, if it weren't for your report, I wouldn't have had to humble myself in front of this fool. It's all because of you."

  "It's all my fault." Zhu Ganglie saw the situation and immediately admitted his mistake, then said: "However, Yan Yan, what if this kid is playing tricks on us? Maybe he has already seen the things in the bag."

  "No way." Cao Yan shook her head without thinking, "I understand this fool better than anyone else. If he saw what was in the bag, he wouldn't have said nothing when I called Qin Fengyang just now. Besides, although this fool got the bag, it's been under our watchful eyes all along. Whether or not he looked at what's inside, you and I aren't blind, can't we tell? In short, now we need to get the bag back and make sure this fool doesn't take a peek at what's inside. We have to keep an eye on him closely. If something goes wrong, of course, neither I nor Sheng'er will end up well, but I won't let you off easy either, believe it or not?"

  "That's perfect, you and Sheng'er leave that idiot Qin Fengyang, our family can finally reunite thoroughly. What Qin Fengyang can give to you and your mother, I can also give, and will do better than him."

  Zhu Ganglie patted his chest, with a look of daring to do and seeking to be unable to do. However, his eyes kept turning around, as if he was somewhat insincere.

  Cao Yan hummed and didn't bother to respond, keeping an eye on Qin Lang's movements out of the corner of her eye. What made her slightly relieved was that this fool had just put the bag into another convenience store bag he was holding in his other hand, indicating that he really didn't intend to look at the things inside the bag.

  ……

  Fu Gui Da Yao Fang

  Hao Wei was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and it had already been more than half an hour. The "noble person" in his mind still hadn't appeared. He had circled the entire pharmacy several times, but his heart was getting more and more uneasy, fearing that he would miss the young master.

  He was the sneaky young man who had previously bumped into Qin Lang. His true identity was a reporter for the provincial TV station.

  Because the column group is going to do a program about the pharmaceutical market, investigating the situation of the entire province's pharmaceutical market. He was then sent to Ping'an City, where he went undercover at Fugui Large Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Ping'an City.

  As this investigation was not made public, Hao Wei's approach was naturally a covert one. Whether he was being stealthy or walking with an unusual gait, it was all to enable the hidden camera in his bag to capture better footage.

  This was originally a hard job, whoever took turns would feel unlucky, and Hao Wei was also doing it reluctantly. But he didn't expect that this undercover visit would unintentionally give him an opportunity to rise to prominence. Qin Lang's appearance made his heart bloom with joy.

  He deeply realized that this was a fleeting opportunity, and once grasped, his future prospects would be boundless. With such thoughts in mind, he naturally couldn't help but want to tightly hug Qin Lang's thigh and follow this young master from then on. But this young master had gone and not returned, how could he not feel anxious?

  "He won't not come back, will he?" Hao Wei's heart began to lose confidence. He hated himself for reacting too slowly just now. If he had followed the young master's footsteps closely, with his eloquence and flattering skills, he might have already established a preliminary relationship with the young master by now.

  Hao Wei was filled with regret and decided to guard the entrance, which was the only one on the fifth floor. As long as that young master appeared, he would be able to see him at the first time.

  Before long, a well-dressed couple appeared at the entrance. Hao Wei didn't pay much attention to them, but the salesgirls swarmed up and surrounded the couple.

  Suddenly, another figure followed closely behind the couple and walked in from the entrance.

  Hao Wei's eyes lit up instantly, his face filled with great joy, and he rushed forward like a car that had just been filled with oil.

  "You... you're back."

  A warm smile instantly filled Hao Wei's entire face, and he nodded and bowed like a servant, greeting the person who was just walking in.

  "Is it you?"

  It was Qin Lang who came, and when he saw the young man who suddenly rushed in front of him, Qin Lang couldn't help but pause for a moment. He didn't expect this young man to still be in the pharmacy. Compared to the young man's previous behavior, he had some doubts about what his purpose was for staying in the pharmacy.

  "It's me, I knew you'd be back soon, so I've been waiting here especially for you." Hao Wei said hastily.

  Qin Lang didn't have any intention of getting in touch with this person, so he nodded lightly.

  At this time, the well-dressed couple, after shaking off the salesgirl's entanglement, walked towards Qin Lang, who were Cao Yan and Zhu Ganglie.

  Cao Yan treated Hao Wei as the same kind of person as the salesgirl, didn't even give him a glance, and asked Qin Lang, "Xiao Lang, what you want to buy is medicine?"

  Qin Lang nodded, "Mm, I'll buy two flavors of Chinese medicinal herbs to regulate my body."

  Cao Yan pretended to be concerned and said, "Xiao Lang, you've been in poor health since childhood, so you must take care of yourself. I heard that there's an old Chinese doctor in the provincial city who is quite skilled. If we have a chance, I'll take you to see him."

  Qin Lang shook his head: "No need, this body of mine, doctors can't cure it."

  Cao Yan immediately became furious, this stepmother couldn't not know that Qin Lang's body had big problems. Anyway, from small to large, Qin Lang almost always relied on medicine to survive. This was also the reason why she could slightly tolerate the existence of this foolish Qin Lang.

  Because she had secretly asked the doctor who treated Qin Lang, according to the doctor, Qin Lang's physical condition was congenital and could not be cured. Even with careful care, he might not live for long. So she felt particularly at ease, as long as this fool died, Qin Fengyang's property would eventually belong to her son Qin Sheng alone, without worrying that this fool would come to share a cup of soup.

  "What kind of illness is this, even doctors can't cure it." Zhu Ganglie chimed in with a neutral tone.

  Cao Yan immediately hummed and pretended to defend Qin Lang, saying: "What are you talking about? Xiao Lang's illness was brought from his mother's womb, and if the doctor can't cure it, that's normal."

  Zhu Ganglie stopped talking, but those restless eyes started rolling around again. He thought to himself: Another idiot, and another incurable disease, isn't that saying that in the future, Qin Fengyang's family property will all fall into my 'son's' hands?

  His eyes lit up at this thought, just like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

  Hao Wei seemed to have seen the relationship between Qin Lang and this couple was not good, he wanted to hold on to Qin Lang's thigh tightly, naturally maintaining a unified front.

  So he completely ignored the two of them and instead smiled obsequiously at Qin Lang, saying: "Are you going back to buy medicine? I'll show you the way."

  He spoke and took the lead, trotting along in front, clearing the way for Qin Lang.

  ……

  Chinese medicinal materials area.

  Cao the pharmacist sat back in his rattan chair, holding a teacup and chatting idly with an older pharmacist beside him who was flipping through some accounts.

  "Old Cao, you just spoke too harshly. We're running a business here, we can't afford to offend people like that. What if that person really brings 200,000 yuan back? How will you handle it?" The older pharmacist said, looking at the bill while advising Cao.

  Cao Yao Shi took a sip of tea, gulped it down with a gurgling sound, and then coldly snorted: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I could really find someone who can casually take out 200,000, do you think I'd say something so dead certain? Just those two country bumpkins from just now, hey, don't even mention 200,000, if you asked them to take out 100,000, they wouldn't be able to."

  "It can't be said that way." The older pharmacist shook his head, "There's a saying that people shouldn't be judged by appearance. Some people have money in their pockets but are very low-key in their actions. If you really encounter such a master, won't you have no way to back down?"

  "What's there to be afraid of?" Cao Yaoshi said with a carefree attitude: "I've been selling medicine for so many years, and I still can't even tell people apart. Besides, even if he really brings back 200,000 yuan, I'll just deny it, what can he do to me? Can he record my words or something? Even if he does, this verbal promise doesn't have any legal effect, right?"

  The older pharmacist shook his head and stopped talking.

  Just then, the counter was suddenly knocked with a loud bang, and a voice shouted in a neutral tone: "Buy medicine!"

  Cao Yao Shi carelessly raised his head and was immediately stunned.

  Hao Wei saw Cao Yao Shi's appearance and suddenly felt extremely relieved. He sneered, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and attend to the customers, we're here to buy medicine."
