At this moment, Yu Wantao was so happy that he was a little overwhelmed.

He stared at Yu Shuyan with eyes full of gratitude:

“Young lady, you are a great benefactor to our Yu family. Tell me what you want, and as long as I have it, I will not refuse you.”

Yu Shuyan sighed inwardly, realizing that her father's sensitivity to danger was still too low.

She didn't think this matter was over yet.

If the person behind this isn't brought to justice, there will always be endless troubles to come.

“Boss Yu, I think it’s always good to be cautious. Since someone has already made a move against your Yu’s Pharmacy, you should keep your employees in check. Be careful and don’t let anyone take advantage of the situation.”

Her reminder made Yu Wantao's expression darken again. Clearly, he had also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Seeing that he had realized what was happening, Yu Shuyan felt a little relieved.

Yu Wantao has been in business for so many years, and if he wanted to be on guard, he would have his own methods. Moreover, the person behind it all just suffered a loss, so they probably won't target Yu's Pharmacy again anytime soon.

Yu Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and before Yu Wantao could say anything more, she turned and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

~~~

It's on the same Yinshui Street, in a courtyard not far from each other.

An old man dressed as a Taoist priest, with silver hair and an air of otherworldly elegance, now had his eyes filled with resentment. He slammed his whisk to the ground and cursed:

"Didn't you say everything would be absolutely foolproof? What happened? Not only did you not get the money, but you've all ended up in the government office!"

The man standing before him, a gentle and scholarly figure, was none other than Wen Lang.

At this moment, although his expression remained relatively calm, his furrowed brows betrayed his displeasure.

"Ouyang Feng, are you questioning me?"

Ouyang Feng, however, was not intimidated by him and snorted:

"Lord Wen, don't forget, we're partners. You promised to help me gain fame and money, and I'll follow your arrangements. But what about the silver notes? What about my person? That woman is my old flame. I don't care, you have to get her out of here."

A chill flashed in Wen Lang's eyes, but his expression softened somewhat as he smiled reassuringly:

"Don't worry, I have people in the government office, your people will definitely be fine. However, we still need to find out about the woman who came out."

He really disliked the feeling of being out of control.

Originally, through this incident, he could have suppressed the Yu family pharmacy, obtained its money, and also ensured that Yu Shuyan, that woman, had no family to support her.

In this way, once he appoints an official, he can easily get rid of this burden.

Moreover, he could have Ouyang Feng revive a critically poisoned person in front of a crowd, further enhancing Ouyang Feng's reputation as a "miracle doctor."

In this way, he could then use Ouyang Feng to continue his grand plan, making all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Lingjin owe him favors.

Thus, step by step, he realized his great ambitions and ideals.

Everything was going smoothly at first.

Suddenly, a woman appeared and ruined his plans.

Ouyang Feng nodded:

"Exactly, I need to find out more about that woman. I must make her try my medicine. By the way, a woman with delicate skin is perfect for testing medicine."

Wen Lang, however, said:

"That woman can silently render people immobile and cause unbearable itching. She might also be a poison doctor. Don't act rashly before you understand the situation."

Ouyang Feng clicked his tongue in disapproval:

"I'm telling you, Lord Wen, you're being too cautious. We've drugged several people before, leaving them on the verge of death, and then I appeared as a miracle doctor to save them. Nothing happened, right? Don't worry, this time it's just a minor accident. If we really drug that one who's faking illness, even that woman, with her tricks, won't be able to do anything. I think, no, I should just give those who arrested the people from Yu's Pharmacy some strong drugs. Let's do it again!"

Wen Lang's eyes flickered slightly, but he shook his head:

"Let's not act rashly. We've just had an accident; if something happens again, we'll inevitably attract gossip. The Yu family's wealth will be ours sooner or later; there's no need to rush. Right now, our top priority is to take down Bai Chongshan."

Ouyang Feng chuckled smugly:

"It's all because of Bai Chongshan that you've been holding me back, preventing me from showing my face. Otherwise, we would have taken him down long ago. I really don't know what you're thinking. You've been drugging his son for a while now. As soon as I go, the antidote comes out, and he's fine. Bai Chongshan, isn't he the kind of person who helps you however you want him to?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Wen Lang's eyes:

If it weren't for his somewhat otherworldly appearance and skill in using medicine, such a foolish and impulsive person would be completely unworthy of cooperating with.

But he said:

"The later you appear, the more people will know your importance. The greater the favor he will feel, won't he? Wait for my notification; it will be within the next day or two. I will ask you to come out of retirement."

"By the way, your people are keeping their mouths shut, aren't they? They won't say anything out of line in the government office, will they?"

Ouyang Feng smiled confidently:

"Don't worry, but you still need to get them out as soon as possible. I have a lot of things to do here. Also, prepare 100 taels for me."

Wen Lang frowned:

"100 taels?"

Ouyang Feng frowned:

"What's wrong? Don't forget, you promised to cover all my expenses before I agreed to cooperate with you. What, are you having second thoughts?"

Wen Lang cursed inwardly:

Before, you were at most a charlatan wandering the streets. If it weren't for his advice, he wouldn't have earned the title of "miracle doctor."

But she couldn't afford to fall out with him, so she forced a smile:

"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I'll naturally fulfill your request. However, since I didn't get the money for the Yu Family Pharmacy this time, it's difficult for me to come up with 100 taels all at once. How about..."

Ouyang Feng simply flicked his whisk:

"Stop talking nonsense. Either give me 100 taels, or we're done. It's up to you. I want to see the money by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Oh, and get my men back as soon as possible."

After saying that, he ignored Wen Lang and turned to go into the house.

Wen Lang stared at his back, his eyes flashing with the power of a thousand sharp swords, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

But he finally let out a deep breath, turned and left the courtyard, muttering to himself:

"I wonder how things are going at Songhe Academy? If everything's going smoothly, Yu Shuyan, you should come back and beg me, right? If your father won't pay 100 taels, then you'll have to pay it first!"

"And who exactly is that woman who caused all this trouble? She deserves to die!"

As he finished speaking, his eyes turned icy cold, as if he wanted to devour someone.
