The person who runs such a large black market must have an extraordinary background. He is also very knowledgeable and knows the identities of the two people in front of him who have introduced themselves.
In particular, the famous Ghost Doctor Ye Ming of Mingshan was a household name, and he had heard that this guy never hesitated to treat patients and save lives, so he was not exactly a righteous person. Therefore, he had to take him seriously.
"Not bad, you do have some insight, Mr. Wu. We've come to talk business with you, and in person at that. That shows our sincerity, doesn't it?" Chen Zhengde put on airs.
"Does Director Chen have some business to discuss with me?" Boss Wu asked, looking puzzled.
"I heard you've received a batch of good goods here: Blood-Weeping Spirit Pearls and Nine-Fragrance Insects." Jiang Yongkang stated his purpose directly: "I wonder if it's true or not."
"You two are a step too late. We did have the item, but it's already been sold." Boss Wu suddenly realized that these two were quite well-informed; they knew so quickly what good stuff was on the black market.
"Bought it? Who bought it?" The two men's expressions changed.
These are rare and precious treasures. They traveled a long way just for these two spiritual items, but they were still a step too late.
"Mr. Wu, provide me with the buyer's information. I'm willing to pay any price to get these two items." Jiang Yongkang's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression was filled with murderous intent. If Mr. Wu really revealed the buyer's information, he probably wouldn't just buy them; he would directly rob them.
“This doesn’t comply with my rules here.” Mr. Wu shook his head. “Our black market regulations prohibit the disclosure of buyer information. So, I apologize to both of you.”
“Mr. Wu, you run such a big black market, I don’t believe you don’t have any power.” Jiang Yongkang sneered: “But when it comes to people and business, you have to understand human relationships. Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Don’t ruin your reputation and get yourself into trouble because of some things.”
“That’s right, Mr. Wu, there are some people you can’t afford to offend.” Chen Zhengde also said with a threatening look: “My senior brother is skilled in using poison and is knowledgeable in Qimen Dunjia. It’s too easy for him to make someone die mysteriously.”
"Are you two threatening me?" Boss Wu's expression changed slightly. The Mingshan Medical Path itself carries seven parts evil, and they always act without considering the consequences. If you anger these two, they are really capable of doing anything.
"You're right, we are threatening you," Chen Zhengde sneered.
"Don't make things difficult for him. The medicine is with me. Are you planning to steal it?" Ye Xingchen spoke up just as Boss Wu was in a dilemma.
"Ye Xingchen, what are you doing here?" The two were taken aback, only then realizing that besides Boss Wu, there was someone else in the room, and this person was none other than Ye Xingchen, whom they had seen before.
"We're all involved in medicine, so why are you the only ones with such good connections? These rare and precious treasures are hard to find even with a lantern. Now that I've got the news, how could I possibly miss out?"
"You have those two things in your hands now?" Jiang Yongkang stared at Ye Xingchen, his eyes gleaming.
“That’s right, it’s in my hands. Don’t make things difficult for others. If you have any problems, just come at me.” Ye Xingchen didn’t deny it and nodded.
"Then we can have a proper talk. Name your price for the medicine." Jiang Yongkang took a deep breath, knowing that things were getting tricky.
"There's nothing to talk about. We're all in the drug business, and these things are just as rare and precious to me." Ye Xingchen grinned. "What you think is good, I think is good too."
"Ye Xingchen, my senior brother is trying to reason with you properly. Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason." Chen Zhengde's expression changed.
“Chen Zhengde, your name contains the character ‘De’ (德), but your behavior has absolutely nothing to do with that character.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “It is a disgrace to traditional Chinese medicine to have someone like you in the Imperial Medical Academy.”
“You…” Chen Zhengde was furious.
"What, did my husband say something wrong?" Li Yijin said somewhat unhappily, "What wouldn't someone like you do for profit?"
"Let me tell you, we've bought it. We wouldn't trade it for a mountain of gold. Stop wasting your breath."
The two men had grim expressions. If they had encountered an ordinary person, they could have easily gotten the item by using threats, inducements, and other means.
But things are different now; the person they've encountered is Ye Xingchen.
"Young man, you're the seller, right? Whatever price they offer, I'll offer double." Seeing that Ye Xingchen wasn't working, they turned to Defu for another opportunity.
“It’s not about the money. They promised they could cure my dad’s illness.” Defu shook his head. This honest young man was only thinking about his father’s illness. As for how much money the other party offered, it was just a number in his eyes.
"Treat illnesses? Haha, then you've met the right person." Chen Zhengde laughed heartily. "Do you know who I am? I am Chen Zhengde, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. This is my senior brother, known as the Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain. There is no illness that he cannot cure."
"Really?" Defu was taken aback. After all, the title of head of the Imperial Medical Academy was quite impressive.
"Of course, do you know how many powerful and wealthy people are lining up to have me treat them? Young man, you're really lucky today. The medicine is yours. As long as you agree to sell it to us, we'll go find your father right away and cure his illness."
“This…” Defu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Boss Wu to the side.
"Defu, I still believe in Mr. Ye." Boss Wu gritted his teeth. He had heard of the Ghost Doctor of the Underworld's methods.
But since he'd already thoroughly offended this person today, he might as well go all the way and offend him to the extreme.
"I'll listen to you, Uncle Wu." Defu gritted his teeth. Although the other party's reputation was intimidating, he was still willing to trust Boss Wu.
After all, this was the only person he knew outside, and the two were from the same hometown. Before he started his business, Mr. Wu was also from the mountains, so he chose to trust Mr. Wu.
"Kid, you're asking for it. Let me put it this way, your dad's illness is quite serious, isn't it? If I can't cure him, then no one in the world can." Jiang Yongkang's expression changed slightly.
Given his reputation and status in the martial arts world, the fact that he couldn't even intimidate a country bumpkin left him feeling quite defeated.
"Buying things should be based on mutual consent," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "The Mingshan lineage has quite a reputation, is it appropriate to coerce and entice a young man like this?"
"Ye Xingchen, we don't have any grudges, but you've ruined my plans time and time again. I'm not going to hold it against you, but do you think we Mingshan are easy to bully?" Jiang Yongkang roared.
