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

"Old man, do you have any other medicinal herbs at home?" Su Chen asked.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have some precious medicinal herbs at home, but..."

"But what?"

"But my son has gotten into some trouble recently, so it's not convenient for me to take you home." The old man sighed.

Su Chen saw the old man's dilemma and said, "If it's convenient, I'd like to go and take a look at those medicinal herbs. Maybe I can be of some help."

The old man looked at Su Chen's sincere eyes and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared. My house is a mess right now."

The old man packed up his stall and took Su Chen and Liu Ying to an old residential complex. They lived on the first floor of a small but tidy house.

"Dad, you're back." A man in his thirties came out with an evasive look in his eyes.

"This is my son Li Dayong." The old man introduced him to Su Chen, "Dayong, this gentleman is here to look at medicinal herbs."

Su Chen looked at Li Dayong and found that he looked nervous with fear in his eyes. It was obvious that he had encountered some trouble.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go get the herbs." The old man said, turning and walking into the inner room.

Just then, there was a rough knock on the door.

"Li Dayong, get out here! Is the money ready?"

Li Dayong's face turned pale in an instant and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"Dad, hide quickly." Li Dayong shouted to the inner room, and then said to Su Chen, "Sir, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with here, please step aside for a moment."

Su Chen did not move and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The door was kicked open and several ferocious-looking men rushed in, led by a bald man.

"Li Dayong, today is the deadline. If you don't pay me back, I will kill you." The bald man said viciously.

"Brother, give me a few more days, I will find a way to pay you back." Li Dayong pleaded.

"A few days? I've already given you a month." The bald man raised his hand to hit Li Dayong.

"Stop." Su Chen stood up.

The bald man was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Where did you come from, you little brat, to meddle in my business?"

"Let me ask you, how much money does he owe?" Su Chen asked calmly.

"The principal is fifty thousand, plus the interest, a total of two hundred thousand." The bald man said proudly.

"Loan sharking?" A hint of coldness flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

"What? Any objections?" The bald man looked at Su Chen provocatively.

The old man came out from the inner room and saw this scene. He hurriedly stood in front of his son and said, "My dear brothers, my son really can't come up with so much money at the moment. Can you make some concessions?"

"Make concessions?" The bald man sneered, "Old man, your son signed the agreement. It's clearly written in black and white. You must pay the money back today."

Su Chen looked at Li Dayong and asked, "How did you owe this money?"

Li Dayong lowered his head in shame. "I... I was tricked into gambling and lost money. Then they said they could lend me money to make up for it, but I ended up getting deeper and deeper into trouble."

"Was someone setting us up?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

"It's very likely." Li Dayong nodded. "Thinking about it now, that bet does seem questionable, but I've already signed the agreement, and it's only natural to repay a debt."

The bald man became impatient: "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't pay me back today, I will smash your house and kill both you and your son."

"Wait." Su Chen stood in front of the bald man, "I think there is something wrong with this account. You go back first. I will give you an answer in three days."

"Who do you think you are?" the bald man said angrily, "How dare you act so high and mighty in front of me?"

"I don't want to fight with you. Call your boss over." Su Chen said lightly.

The bald man was shocked by Su Chen's momentum, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "Okay, wait, I'll call my eldest brother to deal with you."

After a while, the bald man returned with a group of people. The leader was a tall middle-aged man, who was none other than Zhang Bao, the subordinate of the leader who had been forced to admit his mistake by Su Chen two days ago.

As soon as Zhang Bao entered the room and saw Su Chen, his face turned pale: "Su...Mr. Su?"

"It's me." Su Chen nodded.

Zhang Bao immediately yelled at the bald man, "How dare you mess with Mr. Su, you idiot?"

The bald man looked confused: "Brother Leopard, do you know him?"

"Do you know him?" Zhang Bao slapped the bald man on the head. "Let me tell you, this is someone that all our bosses respect. How dare you offend him?"

The bald man was so frightened that his legs went limp. He quickly apologized to Su Chen: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry, I didn't know your identity. Please forgive me."

"I will repay the principal of the money Li Dayong owes, but I won't pay any interest." Su Chen said calmly, "Come and collect the money in three days."

"Yes, yes, we'll do whatever Mr. Su says." Zhang Bao nodded quickly. "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't want the money."

"You still have to pay back what you owe." Su Chen looked at Li Dayong, "But you are not allowed to lend money at high interest rates and harm others in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Su, we will never do this again." Zhang Bao promised.

After they left, the old man and Li Dayong looked at Su Chen with gratitude.

"Sir, your great kindness will be forever unforgettable to me and my son," the old man said excitedly.

"It's just a small favor." Su Chen waved his hand, "Can I take a look at the herbs now?"

The old man nodded and took Su Chen to a small room in the backyard. The room was filled with various precious medicinal herbs, including century-old wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other treasures.

Su Chen carefully examined the herbs, his eyes gleaming with excitement. With these herbs, Mr. Liu's condition would surely be better treated.

"Old man, I want all these herbs." Su Chen said.

"You don't have to buy everything. Just take whatever you need." The old man said gratefully, "You've helped us so much. These herbs are just a token of our gratitude."

"We still have to pay what we owe." Su Chen insisted, "We'll settle it based on the market price."

In the end, Su Chen bought the necessary medicinal materials at a reasonable price. On the way back, Liu Ying looked at Su Chen's profile, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Mr. Su, you are such a good person." Liu Ying said softly.

"There is no good or bad people in the world, it's just that they make different choices." Su Chen said calmly while looking at the scenery outside the window.

Liu Ying nodded, her admiration for Su Chen deepening. This man was not only a skilled doctor, but also had a kind heart.

After returning to the Liu family, Su Chen immediately began to prepare medicinal herbs. With these high-quality wild medicinal herbs, he was confident that Mr. Liu's body would recover faster and better.

Wang Qingshan looked at the worried-looking middle-aged man in front of him and had a guess in his mind. This man was Zhao Jianguo, the son of the old man from yesterday. He was in his forties, but looked extremely haggard.
