I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

They walked through most of the market but couldn't find the right herbs. Just when Chen Mo was feeling a little disappointed, he found a shabby little stall in a corner.

The stall owner is an old man in his sixties, dressed simply. Although there are not many medicinal herbs on the stall, the quality is obviously different.

Chen Mo walked over, picked up a piece of Polygonum multiflorum and examined it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old man, how much is this Polygonum multiflorum?"

The old man looked up at Chen Mo and said with a smile, "Young man, you really know your stuff. This Polygonum multiflorum is wild and has been growing in the mountains for at least fifteen years."

"It's really good stuff." Chen Mo nodded, "Let me take a look at the other herbs too."

Although the old man's stall didn't have many medicinal herbs, each one was a top-quality product. The more Chen Mo looked, the more satisfied he became.

"Old man, you have all the herbs I need. I'll take them all."

The old man was a little surprised: "Young man, are you in the medicinal herb business?"

"No, it's used to treat people." Chen Mo answered truthfully.

"Then you must be a doctor." A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes. "Since you are so knowledgeable, I have some precious medicinal herbs at home. Would you like to take a look?"

Chen Mo's heart moved. This situation usually means there is something better.

"Okay, but I need to see the goods first."

"Of course." The old man packed up his stall. "My home is in a village not far away. It only takes about ten minutes to drive there."

Liu Ying was a little worried: "Will there be any problems?"

"It's okay." Chen Mo comforted her, "Let's go and take a look."

The old man's name is Uncle Li, and he lives in a small village nearby. Although his house is not big, it is very clean.

"Young man, please sit down first. I'll go get the herbs." Uncle Li said as he walked towards the inner room.

Just then, there was a noise outside, and then the door was pushed open roughly.

"Old man Li, when will your son pay us back the money he owes us?"

Three ferocious-looking men rushed in. The leader was a bald man with a green dragon tattoo on his arm. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

"My father doesn't owe you money, I do." A man in his thirties came out from the inner room. He had a pale face and was obviously a gambler.

"Li Dashan, you finally showed up." The bald man sneered, "You owe us 50,000 yuan. You must pay it back today, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

Uncle Li was anxious: "How much money does my son owe you?"

"Including principal and interest, the total is 80,000." The bald man reported a number.

"What? Isn't it 50,000?" Li Dashan widened his eyes.

"That was the number from a month ago. It's now eighty thousand." The bald man said impatiently, "Hurry up and give me the money, or I'll take both of you away today."

Uncle Li trembled and said, "We don't have that much money. Please give us a few more days."

"Grace?" The bald man sneered. "We've been merciful enough. If you don't pay me back today, don't blame us for taking action."

As he spoke, he motioned the two men behind him to come forward.

Chen Mo had been observing coldly from the side, and stood up when he saw this.

"Wait." His voice was not loud, but very intimidating.

The bald man turned his head and looked at Chen Mo: "Kid, you have nothing to do here, get out if you know what's good for you."

"You are loan sharking, right?" Chen Mo asked calmly.

"So what?" the bald man said disdainfully, "It's only natural to pay back a debt."

"Fifty thousand yuan a month becomes eighty thousand. That's a bit high interest." Chen Mo walked towards the bald man. "According to the law, this is already illegal."

The bald man was intimidated by Chen Mo's aura, but he still said with all his strength: "Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in our affairs?"

"I'm Chen Mo." Chen Mo gave his name.

The bald man was stunned for a moment. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"I haven't heard of it." The bald man shook his head, "But since you want to meddle in other people's business, let's clean it up together."

He waved his hand for his men to come forward, but Chen Mo just stood there without even moving.

"Are you sure you want to do it?" Chen Mo's tone remained calm.

"Stop talking nonsense." The bald man had lost his patience. "Come on!"

The two men rushed towards Chen Mo, but before they could get close, they were kicked away by Chen Mo one by one.

The bald man was stunned. Isn’t this speed too fast?

"Can we talk now?" Chen Mo straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened.

"You... who are you?" The bald man's voice was trembling.

"I said, my name is Chen Mo." Chen Mo repeated his name.

The bald man suddenly remembered something and his face changed drastically: "Are you the Chen Mo who beat up our boss's men in the nightclub a few days ago?"

"Oh, you mean that loser." Chen Mo nodded, "It's me."

The bald man's legs went weak. He remembered that a few days ago, the boss's men came back with bruised faces and noses, saying that they had met an evil star and even the boss didn't dare to offend him.

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, this is a misunderstanding." The bald man quickly apologized, "We didn't know Mr. Li was your friend."

"Do you know now?" Chen Mo asked back.

"I know, I know." The bald man nodded repeatedly, "We don't want this debt anymore, and we won't bother you again in the future."

After saying that, he quickly called his men to leave.

"Wait." Chen Mo stopped them, "Don't lend money at high interest rates anymore, otherwise..."

"No, no, we will change our careers in the future." The bald man quickly assured.

After they left, Uncle Li and Li Dashan were stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, what are you doing..." Uncle Li asked stutteringly.

"Nothing, just a little help." Chen Mo waved his hand. "Uncle Li, where are those precious medicinal herbs you just mentioned?"

Uncle Li finally came to his senses and said quickly, "It's in the inner room. I'll get it right away."

After a while, Uncle Li took out a wooden box containing some medicinal herbs.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up as he took a look. There were century-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and a rare snow lotus.

"Uncle Li, where do these herbs come from?"

"When I was young, I was collecting herbs in the mountains. These were all discovered by chance," Mr. Li explained. "I originally wanted to keep them as a family heirloom, but now it seems more appropriate to leave them to a doctor like you."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment: "These medicinal herbs are very precious, I can't take them for nothing."

"Mr. Chen, you just saved my son and me. These herbs are our way of repaying your kindness." Uncle Li insisted on not taking any money.

In the end, Chen Mo insisted on giving Uncle Li a sum of money. Although it was not the market price, it was enough for them and their son to live for a while.

Back in the car, Liu Ying was still thinking about what had just happened.

"You were so impressive just now. Those people were like mice seeing a cat when they saw you."

"It's just luck." Chen Mo started the car. "Let's go back. With these herbs, there's hope for your grandfather's illness."
