12 Poisonous Dragon Grass (1/2)
Numerous hostile big-sized men surrounded Fang Yuan with wooden bats.
Under normal circumstances, one would have been beaten badly.
Fang Yuan hadn't started practising martial arts and hence would likely be beaten badly. However, he looked at these hostile men with a smile.
”You dare to smile still. Beat him till his bones break!”
”Hit!”
These men from the Zhou family were violent and rude.
Whizz!
A bright light appeared and flashed a few times in the area.
”Aaah!”
After which, a few screamings were heard.
When Zhou Wenxin came back to her senses, she realised all her bodyguards were defeated. She held her bleeding right arm tightly.
”What….what kind of power is this?”
Her face immediately turned white. When Fang Yuan started to approach her, she was so scared that she immediately retreated and said, ”Don't….do not come near me!”
”Miss Zhou, I made a deal with Uncle Lin. The medicine was approved by him, so who told you the medicine was fake?”
Fang Yuan slowly approached her with a cold look. If he had a Flower Fox Ferret with him, the consequences for Miss Zhou would have been even worse.
”Wuahhh!”
Zhou Wenxin tripped and fell while retreating. She began crying, ”Oooooo….. you're a bully!”
”Bullshit!”
Fang Yuan was left speechless.
These men were obviously hostile in nature and why were they hired as bodyguards?
”Speak now, or you will end up like them!”
Fang Yuan intimidated her by kicking one the downed men.
From the scream, Zhou Wenxin immediately stopped crying and said, ”It….It was Song Zhigao who said it!”
”Who is Song Zhigao?”
”A comprador of the Spirit Returning Sect!”
...…..
Through Fang Yuan's method of interrogation, the arrogant Zhou Wenxin was able to spit out the truth and reveal everything.
According to her, after obtaining the Red Mountain Ginseng from the previous deal, the siblings happily gave it to Old Zhou.
Old Zhou did recover from his illness and got better, but not for long. His condition deteriorated and until now, no medicine could help to cure his illness!
Of course, Zhou Erge[1] and Lin Benchu understood that it was not that Fang Yuan's Red Mountain Ginseng was not effective. However, due to her bad temper, how could Zhou Wenxin have understood?
Plus, the Zhou family was close to Song Zhigao and Song Zhigao started questioning the effectiveness of the Red Mountain Ginseng.
”Song Zhigao? The one that is in charge of external trade?”
Fang Yuan touched his chin and recalled something vaguely.
”I have not met or heard about this man before. No offence, but I'm guessing it is likely Leiyue's marriage that is creating this mess….”
Had one known that the marriage would create such a mess, one would not have accepted the marriage no matter what.
”You have said what others had said. Now can you let me go….”
At that moment, Zhou Wenxin was tearing and seemed pitiful instead of unruly.
How did it look for a lady from a wealthy family to be defeated in the mountains?
Anyway, Fang Yuan said his age is definitely bigger than hers.
”You can leave now! Bring your men along with you as well!”
Fang Yuan's true colours had been seen by many. He couldn't bear to kill one and destroy the traces of the murder. He then gave cold look.
”Leave now!”
Zhou Wenxin and her bodyguard retreated immediately as if there was a big flood that was charging towards them.
In their minds, Fang Yuan, who could now defeat so many strong men is no different from a magician who practices dark magic in the mountains.
...….
”Keke?”
Flower Fox Ferret appeared after they left. It went round and round around Fang Yuan as if it was asking for a treat.
”You did well! The main point is that your speed….became even faster!”
Since then at the farm, Fang Yuan was able to see Flower Fox Ferret's full power for the first time. The previous Flower Fox Ferret escaped and only its shadow could be seen.
Till now, it seemed that it was because of the spiritual tea that improved the speed. The speed was so fast that those downed bodyguards didn't even know what attacked them.
Even though Fang Yuan has requested to go easy on them, those bodyguards were still attacked quite badly.
”Luckily you were not too hard on them just now, if not…..”
