Chapter 326: Seeking Treatment in the Provincial Capital

Recalling how terrifying Li Yang had been, Brother Scar felt a jolt of alarm and a sense of helplessness.

‘Forget his medical skills for a moment—this guy is a seriously good fighter. I’m afraid none of us are a match for him.’

After some thought, he said, “Let’s head out now, then.”

“Okay!”

Getting into their car, Li Yang headed straight for the provincial capital.

This was Li Yang’s first time in the provincial capital.

‘Come to think of it, Xiao Zhen is in the provincial capital right now, too.’

But Li Yang didn’t have time to think about that now.

The drive from Chaling to the provincial capital took just under three hours.

Soon, they arrived in the provincial capital and pulled up to a villa.

It was a standalone villa. From the moment it came into view, Li Yang noticed many people lurking in the shadows, their eyes fixed on the car.

‘Clearly, they’re hidden sentries, posted to guard against intruders.’

‘This just goes to show what kind of person the boss inside is.’

The car slowly drove up to the villa and finally came to a stop.

Brother Scar led Li Yang out of the car. Just as they were getting out, he said, “When you’re in front of the boss, don’t say anything else. Just talk about his condition and nothing more.”

Li Yang nodded and followed Brother Scar into the villa.

Inside the villa, several people were already seated.

As soon as the two of them entered, everyone inside turned to stare at Li Yang and Brother Scar with hostile expressions.

“Hey, Scar…” The Little Gangster Girl, fiddling with a small knife in her hand, said to Brother Scar, “What’s the deal? The boss sent you to Qishan Mountain to catch a big snake and get its gallbladder. But you came back with this pretty boy instead. What’s that about?”

“Exactly!” a young man in glasses next to the Little Gangster Girl chimed in. “You’re bringing all sorts of riffraff here. You don’t want the boss to get well, is that it?”

Being hit with such heavy accusations, Brother Scar’s face went pale with fright.

It took him a moment to reply, “He can neutralize the boss’s poison.”

“Haha…” The Little Gangster Girl let out a cold laugh and stared at Li Yang. “You can neutralize poison? *You* can neutralize the boss’s poison? What a joke. You can’t do shit!”

“That’s right. Can you even tell one medicine from another?” the man in glasses chimed in.

“Did your boss really hire a bunch of morons like you?” Li Yang couldn’t hold back any longer and blurted out.

SLAM!

At that, the man in glasses and the Little Gangster Girl slammed the table and shot to their feet.

“Fuck you, pretty boy! Who are you calling a moron?”

With a flash of steel, the Little Gangster Girl lunged at Li Yang with her knife.

TING!

But with a simple flick of his finger, Li Yang sent the small knife clattering to the floor.

“That’s your one and only warning,” Li Yang said menacingly to the Little Gangster Girl. “Don’t you ever point that knife at me again. Otherwise, next time it’ll be at your throat.”

Everyone was shocked.

They were all trained fighters themselves, so they could tell at a glance that Li Yang’s skill was extraordinary.

For a moment, the Little Gangster Girl lost her nerve and just glared at Li Yang, not daring to act up.

As for the man in glasses, he flinched and shrank back, clearly frightened.

“What is all this noise!” Just then, a voice cut in, and Li Yang’s eyes lit up.

A woman who looked to be about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old had appeared before them.

The woman wore a long robe and looked incredibly regal. Her face carried a ruthless, murderous air, and she possessed an aura that could make the entire world kneel at her feet.

She stood at least five-foot-eight, her figure tall and slender, exuding a chilling, formidable presence.

‘Li Yang had truly never seen a beauty like this before.’

‘It wasn’t as if he’d been lacking for beautiful women lately; he was surrounded by them, and each had her own unique charm.’

‘Zhang Rong’s seductiveness, Gao Xin Xue’s sophistication, Su Yunmeng’s poise, Ye Xiu’s wild spirit…’

‘But he had never encountered a woman with an aura quite like this one.’

‘It was an air of absolute dominance!’

Sure enough, as soon as the woman appeared, those people didn’t dare to say anything more.

“Boss Lady!” they all greeted her respectfully.

The woman glanced at them, her gaze finally settling on Li Yang. She raised a pair of bold, sharp eyebrows and said, “Come in.”

Li Yang nodded and followed her inside.

Inside, a middle-aged man lay on a bed. He looked to be forty at the most.

He had a handsome, imposing face, but he was clearly in a bad state. His complexion was a deathly ashen-gray, the unmistakable sign of a potent poison.

Hearing them enter, the middle-aged man opened his eyes. When he saw Li Yang, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes for an instant before vanishing.

Li Yang narrowed his eyes as well.

‘This man is absolutely brimming with killing intent.’

“You said you can treat me?” the man asked Li Yang.

“That’s right,” Li Yang replied. “Where’s the person who told you a snake gallbladder could treat you?”

“He’s gone,” the woman said. “He fled the moment we started discussing how the snake gallbladder was useless.”

“He won’t get far,” the man sneered. “As long as he’s in this province, if I want him dead, he dies.”

The woman didn’t say anything more.

“How will you treat me?” the man asked Li Yang again.

Li Yang explained slowly, “First, I’ll use acupuncture to force the poison to concentrate in one area. Then, I’ll puncture a blood vessel to drain it. Of course, this method will only get most of the poison out, not all of it. So you’ll still need to take medicine afterward to complete the treatment.”
