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

"Jianguo, let me explain..." The fat man still wanted to quibble.

"What's there to explain?" Lin Feng said coldly, "The facts are right in front of us. The three of you conspired to cheat Wang Jianguo out of his money."

The man with glasses knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he just threw in the towel and said, "Okay, we admit it! But what can you do about it?"

"Why did you lie to me? I treat you as my friends!" Wang Jianguo roared.

The tall and thin man sneered: "Friend? Wang Jianguo, didn't you say before that you have a thousand-year-old ginseng at home? Isn't that what we went through all this trouble for?"

"Thousand-year-old ginseng?" Wang Jianguo was stunned.

"Right!" The fat man stopped pretending. "When you were drunk, you said your father had hidden a thousand-year-old ginseng worth millions. We originally wanted to slowly cheat you out of your money and get you to voluntarily give us the ginseng to pay off your debt, but we didn't expect your friend to see through us."

Only then did Wang Jianguo realize that these people had come for the ginseng in his home from the very beginning.

"You've gone too far!" Wang Jianguo swung his fist and was about to hit someone.

"Stop!" The fat man stood up and clapped his hands.

When Gu Shi came to his senses, five or six strong men came out from the back room, all holding weapons in their hands.

"Now that the truth has been revealed, there's nothing more to say." The fat man said viciously, "Don't even think about leaving today. Hand over the ginseng honestly, and we'll all live in peace."

"That's right. You can't get the money back anyway, so you might as well use ginseng to pay off the debt." The tall and thin man agreed.

Wang Jianguo's face turned pale. He didn't expect these "friends" to be so vicious.

"What you are doing is illegal!" Liu Ying said nervously.

"Illegal?" The man with glasses sneered, "Little girl, this is our territory, who cares?"

At this moment, Lin Feng moved.

He rushed towards the nearest strong man and punched him in the abdomen. The man immediately bent over and covered his stomach, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng grabbed the stick and swept it towards the other two people.

"Bang! Bang!" Two muffled sounds were heard, and the two strong men fell to the ground.

Seeing the situation was not good, the remaining few people rushed towards Lin Feng together. But their movements were as slow as a snail in Lin Feng's eyes. In less than a minute, all six strong men were lying on the ground wailing.

The fat man and the other two were stunned. They never expected that Lin Feng's skills were so amazing.

"Now let's settle the accounts." Lin Feng walked towards them, a cold glint in his eyes. "How much did Wang Jianguo lose this month?"

"Three...three hundred thousand..." the fat man stammered.

“How many of these were lies?”

The three of them exchanged a glance, and the man with glasses whispered, "About...about 250,000..."

"Very good." Lin Feng nodded, "Take out the money and return it to Wang Jianguo."

"We...we don't have that much cash..." said the tall and thin man.

"Then find a way to get it." Lin Feng's voice became colder and colder, "Otherwise, no one can leave today."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat man quickly said, "I'll go get the money, I'll go get the money!"

Half an hour later, the three of them collected 250,000 yuan in cash and placed it in front of Wang Jianguo.

"Jianguo, this money is all yours." Lin Feng said, "Don't gamble anymore. Gambling harms both you and others."

Wang Jianguo looked at the money in front of him, tears in his eyes: "Thank you... Thank you, Dr. Lin..."

"As for you three." Lin Feng turned to look at Fatty and the others, "Don't let me see you doing this kind of thing again, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

The three of them nodded repeatedly, not daring to express any opinions.

Walking out of the teahouse, Wang Jianguo held the 250,000 yuan tightly in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.

"Doctor Lin, I finally understand now. It turns out they were plotting against me from the very beginning," Wang Jianguo said. "If it weren't for you, I might have really killed my father."

"It's good that you can correct your mistakes." Lin Feng said, "Go back and spend some time with your father. Don't let him worry about you anymore."

"I definitely will!" Wang Jianguo nodded heavily.

Liu Ying was very excited all the way: "Doctor Lin, you were so handsome just now! So many people are no match for you!"

Lin Feng smiled faintly and didn't say much.

When Old Man Wang returned to his home, he was surprised and happy to see his son coming back with the money.

"Jianguo, this money..."

"Dad, this is the money I deserve back." Wang Jianguo told his father what happened. "It was all thanks to Dr. Lin's help. If it weren't for him, I would still be in the dark."

Old Man Wang looked at Lin Feng gratefully: "Doctor Lin, your kindness is so great that we, father and son, cannot repay you..."

"You're too polite, Mr. Wang." Lin Feng waved his hand. "By the way, you just said that you have some precious medicinal herbs at home. Can I take a look?"

"Of course!" Old Man Wang stood up immediately and said, "Come with me." Chapter 17 An unexpected surprise

Lin Mo supported the old man and slowly walked back to the dilapidated hut. Liu Ying followed closely behind, with the shock still in her eyes.

"Grandpa, you scared us all just now." Liu Ying said with concern, "If Lin Mo hadn't intervened in time..."

The old man waved his hand and sat down on the chair. He looked at Lin Mo with deep admiration: "Young man, your acupuncture skills are truly amazing. I have practiced martial arts for so many years, and I have never seen anyone use silver needles to dissolve the backlash of internal energy."

Lin Mo smiled modestly: "It's just luck. Old man, you have a solid foundation. A little conditioning will be fine."

"It's not a fluke at all." The old man stood up and walked to a seemingly ordinary wooden board in the house. He pressed it lightly, and the board unexpectedly turned inward, revealing a secret compartment. "You saved my life, so this little thing is nothing."

Liu Ying widened her eyes. She didn't expect that there was a mechanism hidden in this simple little house.

The old man pulled out an exquisite wooden box from a secret compartment and carefully opened it. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. Inside the box lay a ginseng root, nearly as long as a forearm, with intact roots and a plump shape. It was obvious at a glance that it was a high-quality product of good age.

"This is wild ginseng, at least three hundred years old." The old man handed the wooden box to Lin Mo, "Please accept it. It's a small gift from me."

Lin Mo looked at the ginseng and was indeed tempted. Such wild ginseng was hard to come by, and this one alone was worth a fortune. But he still shook his head: "Grandpa, saving lives is a doctor's duty. This ginseng is too valuable. I can't accept it."

"You kid..." The old man said anxiously, "If it weren't for you, I would have been dead by now. This ginseng is useless in my hands. It can only be used if I give it to you."

Liu Ying was watching from the side and suddenly said, "Lin Mo, since the old man is so thoughtful, don't refuse. How about this, I'll buy it for you as a token of our appreciation to the old man."

The old man was stunned: "Buy? This..."

"It's settled." Liu Ying took out her wallet. "Grandpa, name a price, and we'll give it to you at market price."

Lin Mo understood Liu Ying's intention. This way, he wouldn't owe her too much of a favor, and the old man would receive his due. He nodded and said, "Just do as Sister Ying says."

The old man thought for a while and finally agreed: "Then let's do 200,000. This is already the lowest price."
