Li Yunfei turned around and glanced at him, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "What's going on? Do I need to report to you when I call myself Brother Hao?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..." The middle-aged man waved his hands in fear.

Li Yunfei turned to face everyone, his voice rising several degrees: "Let me formally introduce you all, this is Lin Hao, my big brother. From today on, anyone who looks down on me, Brother Hao, is looking down on me, Li Yunfei!"

There was dead silence.

Those who were mocking Lin Hao just now wanted to find a hole to hide in. They never dreamed that this "waste" they looked down upon was actually Li Yunfei's elder brother.

"Brother Hao, who was making trouble here just now?" Li Yunfei's eyes swept across everyone and finally stopped at Xu Yaqi.

Xu Yaqi was trembling all over. She knew Li Yunfei's temper. If she offended him, the consequences would definitely not be good.

"Young Master Yunfei, I...I was just joking..." Xu Yaqi's voice was trembling.

"Are you kidding?" Li Yunfei sneered, "I didn't hear you talking in a joking tone just now."

Liu Ying was a little confused watching from the side. She didn't understand why Li Yunfei was so respectful to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao patted Li Yunfei's shoulder gently: "Forget it, they are just trivial matters."

"Brother Hao, you are a magnanimous person, but some people just don't know their place." Li Yunfei's tone was still cold.

Seeing this, Xu Yaqi hurriedly walked up to Lin Hao and bowed her head to apologize: "Mr. Lin, I was wrong just now. I apologize to you."

Those who had been mocking him just now came forward to apologize.

"Mr. Lin, I apologize for any offense I caused you."

"Yes, we were also misled. We didn't expect that you and Master Yunfei had such a good relationship."

"Mr. Lin, if you need any help in the future, just let me know."

Lin Hao felt a surge of amusement watching the speed at which these people's expressions changed. Just a moment ago, they were "trash" and "junk goods," and now they were "Mr. Lin."

"Okay, let's all go." Li Yunfei waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Those people dispersed as if they had been granted amnesty, leaving Xu Yaqi alone standing there, unsure of what to do.

"Miss Xu, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Hao looked at her and asked.

"I...I..." Xu Yaqi hesitated for a long time, and finally said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Lin, I was wrong just now. I am willing to bear the consequences of my actions."

Lin Hao glanced at her and said calmly, "Just remember the lesson learned today."

Xu Yaqi nodded and left as if she had been pardoned.

After everyone had left, Liu Ying asked, "Lin Hao, you and Young Master Li..."

"I helped him a little before." Lin Hao explained simply. He didn't want to talk about this topic too much.

Li Yunfei added, "Brother Hao not only saved my life, but also helped me solve many problems. If it weren't for Brother Hao, I would still be wandering abroad."

Liu Ying finally understood why Li Yunfei was so respectful to Lin Hao.

"Brother Hao, you must give me face tonight and let me do my duty as a good host." Li Yunfei said enthusiastically.

Lin Hao looked at Liu Ying and saw her nod in agreement, so he agreed.

The three of them found a quiet box and sat down, and Li Yunfei personally poured wine for them.

"Brother Hao, what have you been doing during this period? Why is there no news at all?" Li Yunfei asked with concern.

"I'm helping people treat illnesses in Haicheng." Lin Hao answered simply.

"Cure illness?" Li Yunfei's eyes lit up. "Brother Hao, I've seen your medical skills before. They're definitely at the level of a miracle doctor."

Liu Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She remembered that her father's attitude towards Lin Hao had been a little strange recently. Could it be that he had heard some rumors?

"By the way, Brother Hao, I heard that the Wang family has been saying bad things about you everywhere recently?" Li Yunfei suddenly brought up this topic.

Lin Hao frowned slightly: "You know everything?"

"That Wang Yun is such a villain!" Li Yunfei was indignant. "He actually dared to spread rumors that you stole their medical books. He's really asking for trouble."

Liu Ying was shocked when she heard this. Wang Yun? She remembered the name; he had indeed come to visit her father a few days ago.

"Brother Hao, do you want me to deal with that Wang Yun?" Li Yunfei rubbed his hands ready to fight.

"No need, the innocent will be innocent." Lin Hao shook his head.

But Liu Ying's mood became heavy. She now understood why her father had been a little cold towards Lin Hao recently. It turned out that Wang Yun was behind it.

"Lin Hao, what did Wang Yun say?" Liu Ying couldn't help but ask.

Li Yunfei looked at Lin Hao and saw him nod in agreement, so he said, "That guy spread rumors everywhere, saying that Brother Hao secretly learned the Wang family's medical books and had problems with his character. He also said that Brother Hao's medical skills were only superficial and prone to problems."

The more Liu Ying listened, the angrier she became. This Wang Yun was simply too shameless! How dare he slander Lin Hao like this?

"What is the truth?" Liu Ying asked.

Lin Hao was silent for a while before he spoke: "The Wang family does have an ancient medical book, but that book was originally passed down from my family."

"What?" Liu Ying and Li Yunfei were both stunned.

"My grandfather saved the life of the old man of the Wang family when he was young. To repay his kindness, the old man kept my grandfather as a guest official at the Wang family. After my grandfather passed away, the medical book remained with the Wang family." Lin Hao's tone was calm, but there was a trace of pain in his eyes. "I just want to take back what belongs to my family."

"What happened next?" Liu Ying asked anxiously.

"Later, the Wang family found out and accused me of secretly studying medical books. They wanted to send me to the police station." Lin Hao smiled bitterly. "My wife... my ex-wife agreed to a divorce to keep things quiet."

Liu Ying felt a mixture of emotions after hearing this. She hadn't expected Lin Hao to suffer such a fate, and Wang Yun had actually turned black into white, calling the victim the perpetrator.

"Brother Hao, we can't swallow this!" Li Yunfei slammed the table angrily, "We must seek justice for you!"

Lin Hao shook his head: "Forget it, let the past be the past."

But Liu Ying had made up her mind. She wanted to let her father know the truth and not let Lin Hao continue to suffer this injustice.

Liu Ying drove Lin Fan in her white sedan to the medicinal herb market on the outskirts of the city. Soothing music played in the car, but the atmosphere was a little subtle.

"Are you sure you can find those herbs here?" Liu Ying glanced at Lin Fan through the rearview mirror. "Why do I feel like you're deliberately trying to torment me?"

Lin Fan leaned back in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest. "Since you insist on following me, don't complain. Wild herbs are not like vegetables in a supermarket. Whether you can find them depends entirely on luck."

"Tsk, you talk as if you know everything." Liu Ying curled her lips, but still concentrated on driving.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the medicinal herbs market. It was not a large market, but it had all kinds of herbs, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of Chinese medicine.
