Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter One Hundred Forty-Nine

Bai Susu's face looked slightly distressed as she remained silent, deep in thought.

The bald man spoke again, "Miss Bai, time waits for no one. You should know that Hundred-Year-Old Medicine isn't something you can find just anywhere."

Upon hearing the words "Hundred-Year-Old Medicine".

A glint of sharp light flashed in Long Xiaoshan's eyes—he too was thinking about acquiring Hundred-Year-Old Medicine, wasn't he?

When Bai Susu thought about her fruitless trip to the provincial city.

As a medicinal herb merchant, she, of course, knew how rare Hundred-Year-Old Medicine was.

Even though reaching a cooperation with Wang Sihai would mean Bai's Medicinal Materials would lose a significant portion of its profits and she might even have to hand over control of the company, she had a compelling reason to proceed.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "Alright, I can agree to your terms, but you have to show me the medicine first."

Hearing Bai Susu agree,

Excitement gleamed in Wang Sihai's mung bean eyes as he laughed heartily, "Of course, why would I, Wang Sihai, deceive Miss Bai?"

He waved at his two subordinates.

The one on the left immediately took out a huanghuali wood box from his bag and placed it on the table.

Wang Sihai said, "Miss Bai, please take a look."

Bai Susu, somewhat anxious, walked over and opened the huanghuali wood box, from which a unique fragrance wafted out. Inside the box lay a Ginseng as thick as a baby's arm, and the medicinal aroma was indeed emanating from it.

Bai Susu's eyes lit up as she carefully examined the Ginseng with a magnifying glass.

Wang Sihai proudly declared, "Authentic Hundred-Year Wild Ginseng, transported from Changbai Mountain, valued at no less than thirty million."

Bai Susu was an experienced medicinal herb merchant and an expert on Ginseng.

After examining the Ginseng, she was about eighty percent sure that it was indeed Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng, but due to the importance of the matter and the fact that she was staking almost the entirety of Bai's Medicinal Materials, she said, "I'd like to take a little sample to have it tested."

A look of hesitation crossed Wang Sihai's face as he said, "Miss Bai, you know the value of this Ginseng. Don't make it difficult for others."

Bai Susu showed a hint of apology as she said, "I'm sorry. This concerns my father's life, so I hope Director Wang will forgive me."

"Fine then, I, Wang Sihai, am also a reasonable man. It's only because it's for Miss Bai's sake that I'll agree. But you can take at most one rootlet," Wang Sihai feigned hesitation for a long time, speaking with an expression as if he were in pain.

"Thank you," Bai Susu hurriedly took a little Knife and carefully removed a single rootlet.

Bai's Medicinal Materials had testing equipment in-house.

Bai Susu had the sample taken for analysis.

Soon enough, the test results came out.

It was indeed the rootlet of a Hundred-Year Wild Ginseng, rich in medicinal properties, and it had been harvested no more than a month ago.

Bai Susu became excited.

With this piece of Wild Ginseng, her father's life could be saved.

"How about it? Miss Bai, I didn't deceive you, did I?" Wang Sihai said.

Bai Susu nodded with a smile.

"Haha, with that settled, we shouldn't delay further. Miss Bai, let's sign the contract now. Once it's signed, the Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng belongs to you," Wang Sihai took out a contract and offered it to Bai Susu with a beaming smile.

Bai Susu's expression changed slightly.

"Director Wang, can't you make an exception? I can offer fifty million to buy this Ginseng," she said.

The smile on Wang Sihai's face gradually cooled as he said, "Miss Bai, I've already made myself clear. I don't think I need to repeat myself. What I want is a share of Bai's Medicinal Materials."

Bai Susu felt helpless and angry.

Bai's Medicinal Materials was the work of several decades for the Bai Family, yet now they had to hand it over to someone else.

But what could be done?

Hundred-Year-Old Medicine was extremely rare, even she, as a medicinal materials merchant, couldn't obtain it.

Her father had at most half a month to live.

Her gentle face revealed a resolute expression as she picked up a pen from the table, took the contract, and prepared to sign.

However, at this moment, a faint voice rang out, "Director Bai, wait a moment, this Wild Ginseng is fake."

Hearing this voice, everyone present was startled.

Wang Sihai's face, which was full of smugness, instantly tightened, and he fiercely turned his head to look at the person who spoke— the very country bumpkin he had just ignored. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying brilliance as he said harshly, "Kid, who do you think you are to talk here?"

"I'm nobody special; I'm just a small farmer, but at least I'm much better than someone like you, who is blinded by greed and deceives people with fake medicine," replied Long Xiaoshan, standing up calmly.

"Go to hell, do you even know who you're talking to?" Wang Sihai erupted with rage, for he was a prominent figure in Hechuan City, and had never been insulted to his face before.

An ordinary farmer dared to insult him.

It was as if this farmer didn't want to live.

"President Long, Xiaoshan, stop talking, you can't afford to provoke him."

Seeing this, Bai Susu was anxious and hurried to intercept Long Xiaoshan, speaking in a low voice.

She didn't know what kind of background Long Xiaoshan had that made Shangguan Baihe hold him in high regard, but no matter what, it might work in Niu Y County, but this was Hechuan City.

And in Hechuan City, Wang Sihai had a great deal of influence, with connections in both the underworld and legitimate business; such a man, even Bai's Medicinal Materials wouldn't dare to provoke.

Let alone an outsider.

Even if Wang Sihai had someone kill Long Xiaoshan, it would not be traced back to him; at most, it would cost some money to settle the matter.

Long Xiaoshan shook his head, "Director Bai, it's not a matter of whether I can provoke him or not. If the medicine is fake, I must speak out, no matter who is standing here."

Bai Susu saw that Long Xiaoshan repeatedly said the ginseng was fake.

She started to have some doubts too.

She had tested the ginseng just now and the machines confirmed it was genuine. Why was Long Xiaoshan so adamant that it was fake?

When it involved her father's life,

Bai Susu did not dare to take any chances and asked, "How do you know it's fake?"

Long Xiaoshan pointed to his own eyes, "I saw it."

"Hahaha," Wang Sihai burst out laughing, "Kid, you saw it? Who do you think you are? You can tell my ginseng is fake from so far away? Tell me, who sent you to cause trouble here?"

Long Xiaoshan replied leisurely, "Not only can I tell that the medicine is fake, but I can also see that the dark circles under your eyes indicate you're pale-lipped, with unsteady steps—a classic case of excessive indulgence leading to kidney deficiency and impotence, relying only on medication to barely manage intimate affairs."

Wang Sihai's face instantly darkened, his eyes revealing an unmistakable mix of shame, anger, and shock.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Wang Sihai yelled, his gaze filled with embarrassed fury, as being told one is impotent is a great disgrace for any man.

Especially when there was a beautiful woman he had long coveted present.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know very well," Long Xiaoshan said calmly. "How about we make a bet? Find a woman, and if you can perform without drugs, you can do whatever you want with me. How about that?"

Long Xiaoshan's eyes were full of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sihai's complexion changed drastically.

How could he dare to bet with Long Xiaoshan? Long Xiaoshan's words pierced to the heart, revealing the truth—he indeed could only just perform with the aid of medication.
