Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!

Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Robbing Medicine!

Hou Guangshou understood.

However, a look of struggle appeared on his face.

If it weren’t for this situation, given his personality, he would never have agreed to Zhou Yu’s terms.

But now, if he didn’t cooperate with Zhou Yu, he wouldn’t even have a way to survive, not to mention anything else.

After struggling inwardly for a moment, Hou Guangshou looked up at Zhou Yu and said with difficulty,

”I agree.”

”Good.”

Zhou Yu smiled.

”Vice Minister Hou, there’s no need to be so troubled. Who knows, you might find that working with me isn’t such a bad thing after all.”

Hou Guangshou gave a bitter smile.

”Of course, of course...”

Zhou Yu noticed that Hou Guangshou didn’t seem to believe him, but he didn’t bother to explain further.

”Vice Minister Hou, you should continue to stay hidden for now. We’ll keep in touch, and I’ll notify you when the time is right!”

”Alright.”

Hou Guangshou nodded his agreement.

Zhou Yu didn’t linger long; he got up and left.

On his way back, Zhou Yu was already considering what Xiang Yinglong’s next move would be.

Xiang Yinglong had ordered his men to kill Hou Guangshou and blame him for it. The groundwork for this plot had already been laid, and if nothing unexpected happened, Xiang Yinglong’s next move should be coming soon.

He just didn’t know what method Xiang Yinglong would use to deal with him.

Pondering all the way, it was past 10 p.m. by the time he returned to the hotel.

Just as Zhou Yu was about to head to his room, his phone rang.

It was Ye Mengyun.

”The medicine ingredients you wanted have arrived, come to my room.”

Ye Mengyun spoke with an odd tone, and after saying that, she hung up the phone directly.

Zhou Yu didn’t notice anything amiss; he just marveled once again at the strength of the Ye Family. So many Spiritual Medicine ingredients had been collected in only a day and a half and sent over. He couldn’t begin to imagine how much influence had been exerted.

With this sense of wonder, he arrived at Ye Mengyun’s room and knocked on her door.

Ye Mengyun personally opened the door.

However, her expression was somewhat strange upon opening it.

”Come in.”

After saying that, Ye Mengyun turned and walked back inside.

It was then that Zhou Yu realized something wasn’t quite right with Ye Mengyun’s mood.

Once inside the room, Ye Mengyun stood by the window with her arms crossed, her back to him. She just spoke indifferently,

”There’s been a problem with the medicine ingredients you wanted.”

”A problem?” Zhou Yu was startled and immediately moved to Ye Mengyun’s side.

”What happened?”

With a dark expression, Ye Mengyun said,

”Some of the key ingredients have been hijacked.”

Zhou Yu’s face was a picture of shock,

”Hijacked?”

”Who would dare do such a thing?”

”To rob from the Ye Family?”

Ye Mengyun didn’t explain but just turned her head to look at Zhou Yu.

”However, most of the other ingredients have already been delivered. Take a look.”

Ye Mengyun pointed to the table beside her.

Zhou Yu approached the table and conducted a thorough examination.

Indeed, there were a few key ingredients missing, but the ones present were enough for Bai Qishan’s injuries to largely recover. The key ingredients were mainly for restoring his martial skills, so those could be postponed a bit.

Zhou Yu turned to Ye Mengyun.

”Miss Ye, whoever dared to rob the Ye Family must be no ordinary person.”

”What do you plan to do?”

Ye Mengyun replied with a grave voice,

”I’ve already sent people to investigate. Once there are results, I’ll take care of it personally.”

”I’ll go with you.”

Zhou Yu immediately offered.

Ye Mengyun didn’t reject the offer, but she didn’t accept it either, simply saying,

”Let’s wait and see.”

”You take these ingredients first.”

Zhou Yu considered for a moment.

”Alright then, I’ll go treat Elder Bai.”

”Notify me when you have news here.”

”Mm,” Ye Mengyun nodded.

Zhou Yu left at once with the medicine ingredients.

Not long after Zhou Yu left, Ye Mengyun’s phone suddenly rang.

Ye Mengyun answered the call.

A hoarse voice came through from the other end.

”Miss, we have news. The person who stole the medicine ingredients is from the Xu Family!”

”The Xu Family?” Ye Mengyun’s expression instantly turned extremely bleak, with a trace of apprehension even visible in her eyes.

The Xu Family in Capital City was another powerful force on par with their own Ye Family.

Moreover, in the territory of Capital City, the Xu Family was even slightly more dominant than theirs.

”Yes, it was done by Xu Pingchang.”

”Somehow, he got wind that the batch of medicine was intended for Bai Qishan, so he took action.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Mengyun immediately realized that she had been too careless.

The Xu Family in Capital City had long-standing enmity with the Bai Family in Shanghai. With Xu Pingchang aware of the matter, he would definitely attempt to interfere; she should have been vigilant about this.

”I understand. I’ll handle this matter.”

Ye Mengyun said sternly, and then she was about to hang up.

”Wait a moment, Miss, the old master asked me to pass on a message.”

Ye Mengyun paused, ”What is it?”

”The old master said that currently, the Ye Family should avoid conflict with the Xu Family.”

”Furthermore, since Bai Qishan is from Shanghai, it’s not suitable for the Ye Family in Capital City to show a clear bias in matters there. The Ye Family in Capital City must maintain a neutral stance to keep its deterrence and influence. Once they show favoritism towards one force, it might prompt other forces to unite against them, potentially pulling them into a troublesome whirlpool.”

After hearing these words, Ye Mengyun bit her lip tightly.

”I understand.”

After hanging up the call, Ye Mengyun stood by the window for a long time, until night had completely fallen. Then, she picked up her phone again and dialed Zhou Yu’s number.
