Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Giving Gifts_1
"Huang San?"
Upon hearing this name, everyone immediately stood dumbstruck.
This man dominated the business sector of Canglang State with powerful influence, his reputation spreading far and wide.
Could it be that he had come?
Indeed, the gates slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked in unhurriedly.
Huang San was nearly fifty, with the appearance of a smiling Buddha. He wore traditional Chinese attire and held a folding fan. His eyes were narrowed into slits as he smiled joyfully.
"Hehehehe."
"Everyone’s here!"
When Huang San approached the crowd, he exuded a terrifying presence.
People dared not move, unsure of what his visit to Qingyun State meant.
Huang San suddenly said, "Come on, why stop talking?"
"I’m just here for a visit, there’s no need to mind me. You’re making me feel awkward staring at me like this!"
Huang San’s face crinkled with smiles, and although his presence was astonishing, he seemed harmless.
Wan Jing’s eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Huang San, was it you who instructed them to create trouble here?"
Huang San was taken aback and feigned innocence, saying, "Who? What trouble?"
"I don’t know anything about it!" Then Huang San turned to Ma Hao and Li Erfei and asked, "Do I know you two?"
Ma Hao had been scared stiff earlier and said blankly, "I... I don’t know you."
Li Erfei, who had been confidently accusing Huang San just moments ago, was now terrified.
His legs were trembling as he stammered, "I also don’t know you, don’t know..."
Huang San nodded amicably with a smile and said to Wan Jing, "See, Divine Doctor Wan, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe there’s been some misunderstanding?"
Wan Jing could not contain his anger, "Li Erfei, just now you claimed over and over that Huang San was simply yours!"
"The officers from the patrol department are all here. What do you mean by contradicting yourself like this?"
Li Erfei’s face stiffened.
He had not expected Huang San to show up here!
Hurriedly, Li Erfei said, "I... I was talking nonsense; this was all my own idea, it has nothing to do with him!"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they were dumbfounded.
How ruthless could Huang San be that just by giving a stern look, he made Li Erfei change his mind on the spot?
Huang San clicked his tongue and said, "Look at this, Divine Doctor Wan, how could you slander someone with no proof? I, Huang San, am a legitimate businessman. Who doesn’t know that?"
"You!" Wan Jing’s face turned red, too angry to speak.
Everyone was rendered speechless.
At that moment, Ye Fei got up slowly and walked to the forefront.
Huang San’s narrow eyes widened slightly as he smiled at Ye Fei, "I presume this is Divine Doctor Ye. I’ve long admired you!"
Ye Fei waved his hand lightly and chuckled, "Let’s skip the pleasantries. State your purpose."
Huang San chuckled and said, "Like I said, hearing that Divine Doctor Ye was opening a clinic, I just came to pay my respects, I have no ill intentions. Please don’t overthink it!"
The hehehe laughter echoed in the clinic, Huang San looking very much like a guest.
Ye Chen thought to himself that this man was indeed crafty, and his skin was thick.
He would surely be a formidable enemy in the future.
Meanwhile, Huang San looked around the clinic, nodding continuously, "The décor is truly nice. It must have been expensive."
Divine Doctor Li and Wan Jing were feeling anxious inside.
The clinic had just opened and could not afford any delays.
Divine Doctor Li said to Huang San, "If you’ve finished looking around, you can leave now."
Huang San immediately responded, "How could I do that?"
"We’re all businessmen here; how could I not give a gift for your clinic’s opening?"
Wan Jing felt a shiver in his heart and uneasily asked, "What gift?"
Huang San chuckled, "Of course, I’m bringing business. Your clinic has just opened, and I was worried there’d be no patients, so I specifically brought some over."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion started outside the clinic.
Huang San waved his folding fan.
Suddenly, the clinic’s doorway darkened.
At once, nearly a hundred people surged in.
"Is this a place to get treated?" someone asked.
"Definitely, see the sign says clinic? Come on in, everyone!"
"Ah, finally a place to get treatment!"
Nearly a hundred people crowded in, immediately squeezing Wan Jing and the others into a corner.
"Master, what’s going on?" Chen Yulong shouted.
Divine Doctor Li’s face turned somber, "This Huang San, he’s here to throw a wrench in the works."
These people claimed to come for treatment.
But judging by their condition, each of them looked hale and hearty, none showing any sign of illness.
Wan Jing lamented, "What should we do now? Are we supposed to play along with their ruckus?"
The clinic was newly equipped, but short-staffed. With only a few of them present, how could they handle hundreds of people?
Chen Yulong got agitated and cursed, "You people, none of you are sick, what’s the meaning of all this chaos?"
But as soon as these words were spoken, someone retorted, "What do you mean? Don’t we know for ourselves if we’re sick or not?"
Another person said, "Can you treat us or not? I’m about to die! If I end up dying here, you’ll have to take responsibility!"
"Exactly!" someone arrogantly said, "Opening a clinic and not treating patients, isn’t that making a joke out of people’s lives?"
The crowd started shoving, and suddenly, Chen Yulong was pushed to the ground.
"Fuck!" Chen Yulong exploded, "You bastards just came here to cause trouble at the clinic!"
"The patrol officers are all here, you’re all finished!"
Chen Yulong stood up and struggled through the crowd, trying to get to the patrol commissioner to complain.
But as he pushed, someone suddenly shouted from within the crowd.
"Help, the doctor is hitting people!"
