Bai Muyu didn't recognize the young man, but the others did—it was Hu Xiaobei, who had left in an embarrassing state before. As a result, everyone was completely dumbstruck.

Sakata Hirokazu was no exception!

"This... this is impossible. How could he possibly come back unharmed!"

While saying this, Sakata Hirokazu stood up in a daze!

"Could it be that those five ninjas failed? This... this is just impossible!"

Murmuring to himself, Sakata Hirokazu rubbed his eyes vigorously and stared at Hu Xiaobei in an even greater stupor...

Soon, he saw Hu Xiaobei getting closer and closer!

"It really is him!"

After confirming it was Hu Xiaobei, he looked behind Hu Xiaobei wanting to see the five ninjas, but he saw no trace of them!

Hu Xiaobei looked at Shen Youwei with some surprise, "Mayor Shen, you... how come you're here?"

"Handle your business first; we can talk about our matters afterward."

"Alright!"

After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei approached Sakata Hirokazu, who had an ugly expression on his face, under everyone's watchful eyes and harshly slapped him!

This time, Hu Xiaobei didn't hold back at all, so the moment he was struck, his mouth was twisted by the slap, and his teeth were scattered on the ground as he fell!

"You..."

Sakata Hirokazu was completely panicked!

Because he clearly felt an intense killing intent emanating from Hu Xiaobei!

Sakata Hirokazu knew that if Hu Xiaobei wanted to kill him, he wouldn't survive the day!

"County Magistrate Bai, you... you save me, please save me!"

Thinking that perhaps only Bai Muyu could save him now, he spat out blood and, like a dog, scurried over to Bai Muyu's side in an awkward manner, quickly begging for help!

At this time, because he was missing all his teeth, his speech was whistling, which was incredibly disgusting!

Upon seeing Sakata Hirokazu crawling over to him, Bai Muyu wished he could slap him dead on the spot!

After confirming that Hu Xiaobei knew Shen Youwei, he realized he had underestimated Hu Xiaobei before, so now he wanted to quickly disassociate himself from Sakata Hirokazu!

Seeing that Bai Muyu had no intention of helping him, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes as he sneered, "What? What's this supposed to mean? Have you forgotten our..."

"You..."

Hearing Sakata Hirokazu starting to speak the truth, Bai Muyu quickly called over the subordinates who had come with him and ordered, "Take these people away!"

"Yes!"

And so, Sakata Hirokazu, Lin Wei, Fang Xiong, and the others were all taken away!

Initially, Lin Wei, Fang Xiong, and the others from the vegetable gardens and orchards resisted a bit.

But after knowing the specifics, their courage to struggle completely vanished, and so they were dragged away like dead dogs.

...

"What the hell! Hu Xiaobei actually knows Mayor Shen, why don't I have any clue about this?"

On the way back in the car, Bai Muyu angrily spoke up!

The driver glanced at Bai Muyu and said, "County Magistrate, this matter shouldn't involve us, should it?"

"Won't involve us? Who knows that for sure! When we get back, investigate all the detailed information about Hu Xiaobei for me; I want it crystal clear!"

"Yes!"

After the driver agreed, Bai Muyu rubbed his nose, recalling that Wu Yuanwei had mentioned over the phone that Hu Xiaobei was no ordinary person!

At that time, he knew he should have asked for details, but he hadn't taken it seriously, and now it had come to this...

In the village, Hu Xiaobei looked at Shen Youwei and said, "Mayor Shen, now tell me, what's the matter?"

"You previously stabilized my father's injury, which allowed him to recover well for a time. But earlier today, he suddenly started vomiting blood!"

"Spitting up blood?"

"Yes!"

After nodding vigorously, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "I got it! There's no time to lose, let me follow you and have a look now!"

"You... you're not going to rest for a bit? You must be exhausted after all the toil today!"

"I'm fine!"

"Alright then!"

And with that, Hu Xiaobei and he got straight into the car…

"My goodness, Master Xiaobei is too impressive!"

"Exactly! The mayor, for heavens' sake! A big shot I never even dreamt of!"

"Yes, yes!"

After Hu Xiaobei and Shen Youwei had left in the car, everyone was in awe!

Earlier when Bai Muyu appeared, they thought Hu Xiaobei had no chance, but they hadn't expected someone even more formidable backing Hu Xiaobei!

"This little rascal is really getting more and more remarkable!"

"For sure!"

Hearing these murmurs, Guo Meiyu and the others had faint smiles forming at the corners of their mouths...

After passing through the antique quadrangle once again, Hu Xiaobei saw an elder sitting by the bed in the main room!

The elder was dressed very simply, but Hu Xiaobei sensed something extraordinary about him.

As Hu Xiaobei was sizing him up, he heard Shen Youwei's pleasantly surprised voice. "Elder Wei!"

"Elder Wei? Looks like Shen Youwei knows him!"

As Hu Xiaobei thought this, he saw the elder in the black Sun Yat-sen suit nod slightly!

"Shen, who is this person?"

"His name is Hu Xiaobei. I've invited him to treat my father! Elder Wei, don't be fooled by his young age, his medical skill is indeed very remarkable!"

"Is that so?"

As the question followed, Hu Xiaobei felt his gaze shift onto him...

Noticing he was being looked at, Hu Xiaobei quickly extended his hand, "Elder Wei, hello!"

"Hey! Heroes really do come young these days! I have a few questions that I would like to ask for your guidance, would you be willing to enlighten me?"

"Please ask!"

"Very well! For a blocked Lesser Yang meridian of the hand, which acupoints need to be stimulated using acupuncture?"

"It needs..."

Just as he was about to speak, Hu Xiaobei suddenly smiled and said, "Elder Wei jests. If the Lesser Yang meridian is blocked, there is no need for acupuncture, but rather a hot compress is best!"

"For the hot compress, do you need to add anything to the water?"

"Of course!"

After nodding agreeably, Hu Xiaobei named seven or eight types of medicinal herbs!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's precise answers, the elder asked again and in the following time, Hu Xiaobei answered many more of his questions, much to his amazement!

"Good! Good! Good! The younger generation is indeed to be feared, to be feared!"

Having confirmed that he could not stump Hu Xiaobei, the elder completely gave up...

Stepping back slightly, he said, "Friend Hu, come sit over here by me!"

"Okay!"

As Hu Xiaobei moved over to sit, Shen Youwei smiled.

He knew that Elder Wei had thoroughly recognized Hu Xiaobei's credentials; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Hu Xiaobei to sit down, and would have asked him to leave at once…
