171: Market war!

Chapter 171: Market Battle!

"400,000? Why don't you just rob me?"

Hearing that number, Ye Fan immediately jumped up in shock.

He had only received 500,000 as a reward for helping the police catch Lin Feng, and 400,000 was more than half of that. How could he possibly pay it?

Besides, he needed that money to buy medicinal herbs!

"Ah, you took my old wild ginseng and won't return it, nor will you compensate me?"

The farmer immediately grabbed his pant leg and tugged desperately.

He cried and complained, shouting,

"Today, you either give me back the money, or you give me back my old wild ginseng!"

"Otherwise, you're not leaving!"

Listening to the man's almost shameless words, Ye Fan desperately shook his leg. He didn't care about anything else at this point, he just wanted to leave quickly.

"You want to run, kid, do you?"

"You caused trouble here and you think you can just leave? Is that even possible?"

"Everyone, quickly surround this little bastard!"

As if enraged by both gods and men, in an instant, Ye Fan was surrounded, completely cut off.

"I didn't take his stuff, believe me!"

"His so-called ginseng is clearly a radish root!"

But no one listened to him; instead, several people in the crowd started shouting even louder.

"Send him to the police station, arrest him!"

"Yes, that's right, arrest him, then he'll know to pay!"

Hearing that, Ye Fan immediately panicked.

Just the day before, he had helped the police catch a wanted criminal and received a reward, even appearing in the newspaper.

And now, the very next day, he was going to be arrested? Wouldn't that be a huge slap in his face?

If the various Families of Tianhai City found out, how could he ever show his face again?

"Alright, alright, I'll pay!"

Seeing the crowd surrounding him so tightly, Ye Fan could only grit his teeth and agree.

"400,000 is too much, how about 200,000?"

He struggled a bit, trying to haggle down the price.

He originally thought the other party would make a big fuss and demand more money, but to his surprise, the man agreed immediately.

"You said it! Not a penny more, not a penny less!"

Seeing the other party agree so readily, Ye Fan was instantly dumbfounded.

They really were trying to scam him!

Damn it, he should have haggled more!

But at this point, Ye Fan had no other choice. He could only sigh and start feeling around on his person.

"Wait, where's my check?"

Ye Fan was shocked!

He frantically searched his body, but after checking all his pockets, they were still empty.

He had planned to go to the bank that morning to deposit it into his card, but after a wild night with Wang Xue yesterday, he hadn't had the time.

So, he had simply brought the check with him, intending to buy medicinal herbs and then proceed with the proposal to the Huang Family.

"Where did my money go?"

He fiercely grabbed the collar of the man in front of him, shouting desperately, his eyes bloodshot and red.

"Give it back to me!"

Hearing his hoarse voice, the man frowned and pushed his hand away.

"Are you crazy? I'm asking you for money, what are you asking me for?"

"Also, do you even have money? Give it to me quickly!"

At this moment, Ye Fan also realized something was wrong; he had probably been set up.

"Everyone, look! This man has no money and wants to hit people! Stop him quickly!"

With a loud shout, the surrounding people swarmed forward, surrounding Ye Fan like a tide.

Despite being surrounded by so many people,

Ye Fan showed no fear; instead, his anger grew even stronger.

"You are going too far!"

He roared, and an unparalleled True Qi instantly erupted from his body, sending everyone around him flying.

On the mountain, his two masters had not only taught him medical skills but also this martial arts, to protect himself when necessary and not be disturbed by others!

"Damn it, this little bastard, he wants to fight?"

A group of people immediately surrounded him.

Even those in the medicinal herb market who weren't doctors had some understanding of medical skills, and various highly poisonous herbs were not uncommon.

Immediately, Ye Fan felt waves of sharp pain all over his body, and then, he didn't know whose hand reached out and shoved a packet of powdery substance into his mouth.

Cough, cough!

He coughed a few times, and the white powder instantly covered his face and mouth.

This situation was something Ye Fan had never anticipated. After all, he was a successor of a doctor and possessed such powerful martial arts. How could anyone dare to provoke him?

However, he quickly reacted, realizing that the powder was not right.

"How dare you treat me like this!"

As he spoke, he immediately wanted to pull out his silver needles and prick himself a couple of times to quickly neutralize the effects of the drug.

As Ye Fan took out the silver needles, someone pushed him, and the silver needle suddenly pricked him in his crotch, at the Huiyin acupoint.

"Ah!"

Ye Fan's pupils suddenly constricted, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, collapsing directly to the ground.

"Oh no, something's happened, something's happened, someone's been beaten to death!"

Seeing Ye Fan fall, someone in the crowd immediately shouted, and people started frantically retreating.

Then, accompanied by a few panicked shouts, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Ye Fan twitching on the ground.

"Otherwise, how could you possibly contend with Young Master Huang?"

The farmer who had just left tidied his hair and wiped off the makeup on his face, revealing the white-haired man's smirking grin.

Even the person who had just incited everyone in the crowd to attack Ye Fan was arranged by him.

His goal was to utterly ruin Ye Fan.

But looking at the 500,000 check in his hand,

Although the white-haired man was tempted, he still tore up the check without hesitation and flushed it down the drain.

Compared to 500,000, if someone were to trace this matter back to him, it could bring more trouble to Young Master Huang.

This was something the white-haired man absolutely could not accept; he could never let Young Master Huang be in trouble, otherwise, wouldn't it betray his original intention of dedicating himself to Young Master Huang?

Immediately, the white-haired man began to remove all traces of his farmer disguise.

"I need someone to immediately remove all their makeup. Don't let anyone recognize you as the people from just now!"

He took out his walkie-talkie and immediately contacted all his subordinates.

Meanwhile, after twitching for a while, Ye Fan endured the spasms and forcefully pulled out the silver needle stuck in his Huiyin acupoint.

The intense pain made him feel as if he was almost crippled.

While Ye Fan was being obstructed by the white-haired man and his group, Huang Yu also returned home.

"Son, didn't I tell you to be at the company? Why are you back?"

Father Huang looked at Huang Yu, sounding somewhat disappointed.

"Quickly get back there, or I'll break your legs!"

Huang Yu, however, shook his head.

"I didn't come back to talk about that this time."
