Chapter 169: The Longevity Hall Is a Joke

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Longevity Hall Is a Joke

The butler finally came to his senses. He staggered to the young woman’s side, dropped to his knees with a THUD, and cried out, "Miss, you’re awake! You scared me to death."

The next moment, a happy smile spread across his face, but it was quickly washed away by a flood of tears.

If something had truly happened to Zheng Ruotong, even if the Prefect hadn’t held him responsible, he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself.

He turned, kowtowed repeatedly to Ye Feng, and called out in guilt, "Divine Doctor, I was rude to you earlier. I apologize!"

Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded from the entrance, and a square-jawed man in a tunic suit rushed in.

It was the Prefect of Nanjun, Zheng Ruotong’s father, Zheng Yong.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zheng Yong called out in a hoarse voice, "My child, my child!"

He staggered toward the stretcher, but froze when he got close.

He could clearly see Zheng Ruotong sitting up.

Zheng Yong quickly crouched down, took Zheng Ruotong’s hand, and exclaimed happily,

"My child, you’re finally okay!"

Then he looked at the butler beside them and asked in confusion, "Didn’t you say her condition was critical? What’s going on?"

The butler pointed to Ye Feng and exclaimed, "It was this Little Divine Doctor who saved the Miss! It was all him..."

He then briefly recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yong immediately stood up and grasped Ye Feng’s hand. "Thank you for saving my daughter! Thank you so much!"

Ye Feng replied calmly, "Curing the sick and saving lives is simply a doctor’s duty."

’He treats fame and fortune like dirt. Such a rare, fine young man!’ Zheng Yong’s eyes lit up at Ye Feng’s words.

He took a business card from his pocket, handed it to Ye Feng, and said sincerely, "Divine Doctor Ye, this is my card. If you ever need anything, just give me a call.

As long as it doesn’t go against my conscience or the law, I will definitely help you."

Ye Feng accepted the card with a smile, then wrote a prescription and gave it to the butler. "Fill this prescription. One dose a day. After one course of treatment, the patient will make a full recovery."

The butler took the prescription, thanked Ye Feng profusely, and then left with Zheng Ruotong and Zheng Yong.

Many people in the hall stared at Ye Feng, their eyes filled with admiration. ’This is a true Divine Doctor! This is the true meaning of bringing the dead back to life!’

At that moment, Ma Hong came over, dropped to his knees before Ye Feng with a THUD, and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting emotionally, "Thank you, Divine Doctor! Thank you for saving my life!"

Ye Feng smiled and helped Ma Hong to his feet.

Just then, Su Zheng came over and looked at Ye Feng, exclaiming happily, "Haha, you’re truly worthy of being the grandson-in-law the Old Master chose! A dragon among men, indeed!

Come on, let’s go back. No matter what, I have to have a good drink with you today."

With that, he took Ye Feng’s hand and led him to the second floor. The food had gone cold, so Su Youning took the dishes to the kitchen to reheat them. Ye Feng walked in and said with a smile,

"Ningning, I won our bet! Time to make good on your promise!"

Su Youning looked up at Ye Feng and, a moment later, she actually, slowly, took off her mask.

The instant Su Youning removed her mask, Ye Feng felt as if the entire room had lit up.

’So beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Like a fairy stepping out of a painting.’

Ye Feng looked at Su Youning and sighed, "Ningning, you’re so beautiful. Why would you hide such a stunning face?"

Before Su Youning could speak, Su Feng, who was at the door, spoke up first:

"Back in the Imperial Capital, Ningning’s beauty attracted too many suitors who wouldn’t leave her alone, including young masters from powerful families. To protect her, Grandpa had me and Ningning hide out here in Nanjun.

Ningning hides her face to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"So that’s how it is!" Ye Feng nodded, then looked at Su Youning and said calmly, "Ningning, you don’t have to wear a mask anymore. From now on, I’ll protect you. If any unwanted suitors come buzzing around, I’ll deal with them for you!"

Su Youning looked at Ye Feng, her eyes instantly brightening as a sweet smile bloomed on her face.

Her smile was captivating enough to topple cities, and for a moment, Ye Feng was completely lost in it.

Just then, Su Feng sighed and said, "Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s talk about Ximen Long. He’s obsessed with Ningning and even chased her here from the Imperial Capital, only for you to snatch her away. He definitely won’t let you off the hook. You’d better prepare to face his challenge!"

But Ye Feng just chuckled. "Ximen Long? In my eyes, he’s nothing."

Su Feng shook her head. "Ximen Long himself might not be much, but don’t forget the backer behind him is the Ximen family of Hundred Herbs Hall. Do you think you can stand up to that behemoth?"

But Ye Feng’s next words nearly made Su Feng fall to the floor.

Ye Feng simply added nonchalantly, "His Longevity Hall, so what? His Longevity Hall is nothing."

Su Feng stared at Ye Feng, her mouth hanging wide open.

’Is he... just full of hot air?’

But just then, Ma Hong came up. Seeing Ye Feng and Su Feng standing at the kitchen entrance, he hurried over and said urgently, "First Miss, Second Miss, people from the Drug Administration are here! They say they’re investigating us for counterfeit medicine."

Su Feng said confidently, "Don’t worry. Let them search. We don’t have any counterfeit medicine here."

But no sooner had the words left her mouth than another doctor came over. Looking at Su Feng and Su Youning with a pale face, he said, "Misses, this is bad! The Drug Administration found counterfeit medicine!"

"How is that possible?!" Su Feng shrieked. "Ningning and I personally inspect all the medicinal herbs that come in. How could there be fakes? Come on, Ningning, let’s go see what’s going on."

With that, she grabbed Su Youning and ran downstairs. When they reached the hall, she saw a middle-aged man in a red jacket yelling, "You people at Hundred Herbs Hall actually sell counterfeit medicine! If you don’t give me a clear explanation today, you can expect this store to be shut down!"

It was the Director of the Nanjun Drug Administration, Wang Bin.

Su Feng pulled Su Youning over, put on a placating smile for Wang Bin, and said, "Director Wang, there must be some misunderstanding. The medicine here... it’s absolutely impossible for us to have fakes. I assure you..."

But before she could finish, Wang Bin rudely cut her off. "You say there aren’t any, so that means there aren’t? Then what do you call this!"

He then threw a bottle in front of Su Feng.

Su Feng picked up the bottle and saw it was a bottle of antiviral capsules.

Su Feng turned the bottle over and over in her hands, then looked at Wang Bin in confusion. "Director Wang, is there a problem with this?"

Wang Bin snorted coldly. "Why don’t you take out a capsule, open it, and see for yourself?"

Puzzled, Su Feng took out a capsule, sniffed it, and then twisted it open.

When she saw what was inside, her face changed dramatically.
