As the black car drew closer, Hu Xiaobei slightly frowned...

Because at that moment, he could hear the violent heavy metal music blaring from inside the car!

"It seems that this Chinese Medicine Doctor Zhang is quite young!"

While thinking this, the car came to an abrupt stop!

Hu Xiaobei lifted his head and saw a young man dressed in a black suit step out of the car...

As he closed the car door, Hu Xiaobei remembered what Song Xue'er had previously told him about this person.

His name was Zhang Kuang!

He was a practitioner of Chinese medicine with the Chinese Medicine Association in East Lake Province...

When he had heard about Zhang Kuang from Song Xue'er, Hu Xiaobei had thought this person would be quite old.

But now, Hu Xiaobei realized this was not the case...

Because he seemed to be about the same age as himself...

...

Meanwhile, as Hu Xiaobei was sizing him up, Chairman Su Guo of the Chinese Medicine Association, who had previously met Hu Xiaobei at the vegetable and fruit exchange meeting, was hurrying towards Xiaohe Village.

In the car, as he watched the landscape swiftly pass by in reverse, Su Guo quickly spoke up, "Are we there yet?"

Hearing Su Guo's urgent inquiry, the driver, while trying to increase the speed as much as possible, respectfully replied, "Chairman Su, we will reach Xiaohe Village in half an hour."

"Alright, try to go faster, time waits for no one."

"Yes!"

Listening to the respectful reply, Su Guo took a deep breath and began to rest with his eyes closed.

...

During the time at the vegetable and fruit exchange meeting venue, Su Guo had learned from Hu Xiaobei about the vital missing ingredient for his prescription, the Green Beauty Fruit!

After separating from Hu Xiaobei, he had sent people to Miaojiang to search for the Green Beauty Fruit.

Initially, Su Guo thought that with Hu Xiaobei's tip, finding the Green Beauty Fruit in Miaojiang wouldn't be difficult!

However, he later found out it was truly challenging; the people he sent searched for a long time in Miaojiang, but still, they could not find the Green Beauty Fruit...

At this point, the patient's condition began to deteriorate severely...

Su Guo panicked!

He and others tried other methods of treatment, but nothing was effective...

As the patient grew weaker, they discussed and decided to seek help from Hu Xiaobei!

They had previously dealt with Hu Xiaobei at the vegetable and fruit exchange meeting!

Knowing that Hu Xiaobei had exceptional medical skill, they believed Hu Xiaobei would be able to improve the patient's condition...

...

Hu Xiaobei, standing at the entrance of the pharmacy, was unaware that Su Guo and the others were looking for him. He squinted his eyes, assessing the young man called Zhang Kuang.

"People do live up to their names, huh!"

Watching Zhang Kuang display a face that seemed to be asking for a beating, Hu Xiaobei gently shook his head...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei heard Song Xue'er speak up softly, "Hello, Chinese Medicine Doctor Zhang, I am Song Xue'er! We had spoken on the phone before."

Upon hearing the mushy voice, the arrogantly-faced Zhang Kuang looked toward Song Xue'er, and in an instant, Hu Xiaobei noticed his eyes light up!

"Beautiful, truly beautiful!"

Watching Song Xue'er, Zhang Kuang excitedly praised...

Previously, after talking on the phone with Song Xue'er, Zhang Kuang had confirmed that she must be a beauty.

Now that he had seen the charming Song Xue'er himself, he confirmed his guess was entirely correct!

After sincerely praising her a few times, Zhang Kuang quickly began to cozy up, "Xue'er, Sister Xue'er, right! No need for formalities, just call me Brother Zhang!"

Hearing Zhang Kuang's greasy opening, Song Xue'er was slightly displeased!

But thinking of her current need for him, Song Xue'er didn't show her displeasure!

Quickly, the charming Song Xue'er walked to Hu Xiaobei's side.

Afterward, Song Xue'er hugged Hu Xiaobei's arm and softly spoke, "Got it, Brother Zhang! Oh, Brother Zhang, let me introduce you. This is my partner, Hu Xiaobei. I always call him Brother Xiaobei."

Upon hearing Song Xue'er's warm introduction, Zhang Kuang then noticed there was another person here.

...

"Damn it!"

Seeing Song Xue'er intimately hugging Hu Xiaobei's arm, Zhang Kuang cursed fiercely in his heart...

Just now, upon first seeing Song Xue'er, he had tacitly claimed Song Xue'er as his woman!

Now, seeing her so close to another man, he was ablaze with rage!

He gave Hu Xiaobei a few insincere, smile-laden glances, his expression growing colder and colder...

"Chinese Medicine Doctor Zhang, hello, I'm Hu Xiaobei!"

Though he didn't like this Zhang Kuang at all, Hu Xiaobei still took the initiative to greet him!

Zhang Kuang sneered upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, "I'm here today mainly to discuss matters with Sister Xue'er. If you've got nothing to do, you can leave now."

Hearing him telling himself to leave, Hu Xiaobei asked with a smile, "You're telling me to go?"

After glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Zhang Kuang spoke with great annoyance, "Yes! I'm telling you to go! What, you have a problem with that? Let me tell you, my grandfather is the Vice Chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association! If you offend me, not only will you be finished, but your entire pharmaceutical factory will be done for. So while I'm still not angry, get lost!"

Seeing his arrogantly smug look, Hu Xiaobei nonchalantly curled his lip, "Oh, the Vice Chairman, huh? How impressive!"

"En? You seem not to be afraid! Really a case of the young calf not fearing the tiger!"

After mocking him with those words, Zhang Kuang looked toward Song Xue'er and arrogantly said, "Sister Xue'er, I know you want to partner up with our Chinese Medicine Association. My grandfather is the Vice Chairman of the Association, and with just one word from me, the partnership will be no problem at all! But I don't like this damn Hu Xiaobei, so have him get lost now! And make sure he doesn't show up again!"

"I..."

Sensing Song Xue'er's hesitation, he sneered repeatedly.

"What? You don't agree either? Seems like you also want to be blacklisted by our Chinese Medicine Association! Let me tell you, with one phone call from me, you won't have a chance to stand. So you better think it through."

Hearing Zhang Kuang's threat, Song Xue'er's expression slightly changed!

Seeing Song Xue'er scared, Zhang Kuang chuckled with devilish glee, "Scared now? Since you're scared, just do as I say! Later, come with me to the hotel, and we'll have a good discussion about the partnership. As long as you make me satisfied, I guarantee that you'll have a great opportunity to make money afterward!"

As he spoke, Zhang Kuang excitedly reached out his hand...

"Go to hell!"

Seeing the repulsive Zhang Kuang stretch out his claw, Hu Xiaobei sneered!

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei stepped in front of a somewhat confounded Song Xue'er and grabbed Zhang Kuang's revolting claw...

Zhang Kuang, who was all agitated, suddenly felt a pain in his hand, and on a closer look prompted by instinct, he found his hand firmly grasped by Hu Xiaobei...
