173: Unlimited interception

Chapter 173: Infinite Snatching

“That’s good.”

Huang Yu nodded. As the Protagonist of Destiny, anything he picked out was bound to be good.

Those medicinal herbs either looked unremarkable but were extraordinary upon closer inspection.

“Keep an eye on him. When I make a move, I’ll do something to stop him.”

“Also, send me the medicinal herbs immediately; I have great use for them!”

“Yes!”

On the other end of the phone, White Hair excitedly shouted, and then the call ended with a beeping sound.

Although he didn’t know why Young Master Huang wanted the medicinal herbs that the lowly guy couldn’t buy.

But since Young Master Huang had spoken, he had to do it, and do it well!

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his phone and opened a group chat.

“Is everyone here?”

As soon as his message was sent, the group chat, which had been as silent as stagnant water, immediately became active.

“Boss White Hair, long time no see!”

“I heard you’re back from abroad, and your status has greatly increased!”

“What, did you get another chance for an overseas vacation recently?”

…

“Boss White Hair, take me with you, little brother; I also want to work for the Huang Family!”

Almost everyone in this group chat worked for the Huang Family.

Last month, after hearing that White Hair had actually taken tens of millions for an overseas vacation and now his status had greatly increased after returning, they all started to have ideas.

Money and status, who wouldn’t want them? These were almost what they dreamed of!

And in the Huang Family, the easiest way to get ahead was definitely to be by Young Master Huang’s side!

After all, no matter what, Young Master Huang had never been particularly focused on doing serious business.

But the Old Master and the Patriarch were different.

If you didn’t have extremely strong abilities, could you rise to power? That would be wishful thinking, almost impossible!

“Brothers, the time has come to work for Young Master Huang!”

White Hair continued to send messages in the group chat.

Immediately, he sent the secretly taken photos of Ye Fan into the group chat.

“Understood!”

“Got it!”

Many people in the group chat quickly saved the photo.

…

Meanwhile, Ye Fan had been wandering around the medicinal herb market for half a day.

He felt like he was going crazy.

It was bad enough that his money was stolen, but every time he saw a medicinal herb he could pick up for a bargain, someone would snatch it away just as he was about to make a move.

At least a dozen medicinal herbs had slipped through his grasp!

Those seemingly unremarkable medicinal herbs were almost all rare and precious ones!

All the medicinal herbs combined, his losses had already exceeded several hundred thousand, even more than the money that was stolen earlier.

“Damn it!”

Ye Fan cursed.

This is not how you play!

If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to buy the medicinal herbs he wanted even if he stayed until dark.

At the same time, as he was walking, his eyebrows suddenly twitched, sensing something.

Someone was following him!

After reaching this conclusion, Ye Fan subtly glanced back twice, only to see two young men quickly pretending to be nonchalant and squatting at a medicinal herb stall nearby.

It was indeed so.

At this point, Ye Fan finally understood. It seemed someone was deliberately targeting him, which was why they had people following him.

As soon as he made a move to buy any medicinal herb, it would immediately be snatched away.

And if that were truly the case, then it was likely that the earlier incident of him being ganged up on and his check being stolen was also pre-arranged.

“Damn it!”

Ye Fan clenched his fists, the rage in his eyes almost erupting uncontrollably.

He still held back.

A small impatience can spoil a great plan, especially since he had just come down from the mountain.

He needed to at least establish a power base in Tianhai City.

Besides, he still didn't know who was trying to deal with him.

Wait!

As if he saw something, Ye Fan’s peripheral vision swept over a medicinal herb stall, and his gaze quickly locked onto a shriveled medicinal herb among a pile of very similar ones.

This medicinal herb was mixed in with a pile of very similar-looking ones.

If one didn't look closely, it would be impossible to distinguish it.

Good opportunity! It seems his chance has arrived!

Just as Ye Fan was about to step forward, he suddenly remembered the two people following him.

Damn it, these two are like leeches. If he just went up and bought it directly, it would probably be snatched again!

After a moment of thought, Ye Fan pretended to casually walk to the stall next to the medicinal herb stall.

“Boss, how much for this medicinal herb?”

Ye Fan deliberately showed a hint of joy in his eyes.

Sure enough, the two people behind quickly walked over and took the medicinal herb from Ye Fan’s hand.

“Boss, we want this medicinal herb!”

“We’ll pay double the price!”

“Really?”

The stall owner, who hadn’t sold anything all day, instantly had his eyes light up.

He wasn't like those medicinal herb dealers; he was an individual vendor, so the medicinal herbs at his stall weren't that abundant or precious.

Even if there were, they were extremely rare.

After all, he usually relied on himself to collect herbs in the mountains.

But recently, he had almost no harvest, and these medicinal herbs were just ordinary items.

But now, someone was offering double the price; how could he not be happy?

“You!”

Ye Fan instantly put on an angry expression, about to get up and say something, then deliberately sighed.

“Forget it, forget it. You have money; if you want it, take it.”

?

White Hair, who was secretly monitoring, sensed something was off. What was up with this guy? Why was he suddenly so easy to talk to?

He knew that when they snatched his medicinal herbs earlier, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat their people, so why was he suddenly so calm now?

White Hair came to two conclusions: either this person had developed a masochistic tendency.

Or he was faking it.

So White Hair directly spoke into his earpiece, “Buy all the medicinal herbs from the two or three stalls nearby!”

…

“That boss and this boss, we want all your medicinal herbs too!”

Ye Fan, who was originally happy and about to move to that stall.

Upon hearing this, he instantly froze.

“You guys are too overbearing, aren’t you? Are you not letting people buy medicinal herbs anymore?”

Ye Fan’s face was full of anger, and he immediately cursed at the two people.

“Wherever I go, you follow! Is this never-ending?”

“I say, aren’t you just looking for trouble?”

White Hair’s subordinate raised an eyebrow.

“We didn’t offend you, did we? It’s just a normal buying and selling transaction.”

“Why is it never-ending?”

“If you have the guts, then offer a higher price.”

“You!”

Looking at the two people’s smug expressions, Ye Fan clearly knew they were doing it on purpose, but he couldn’t do anything for a moment.

Instead, he was so provoked by their words that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

“Oh, you’re ruthless. If you have the guts, keep following me!”

“I don’t believe you can buy all the medicinal herbs in the entire market!”

Ye Fan snorted coldly, directly shook his hand, and then turned and left.
