Chapter 399 Are you telling me this on purpose?

Grandma Zheng complained that Xu Lin always came and went in a hurry, and she didn't have a chance to replenish her health.

I repeatedly reminded Xu Lin that she must stay for dinner next time she came, otherwise she would really be angry.

While Xu Lin was telling Grandma Zheng how to eat next, Grandma Zheng was already busy, packing a large bag of delicious food and drinks at home.

Xu Lin was delighted when she saw this. She thought that all the snacks of her eldest grandson were allocated to her, and she was not afraid that she would be troubled by him when he came back.

When Xu Lin left, there was still a big bag on the bicycle. It seemed that nothing was missing, and the bag was even bigger.

I hurried to Renjitang, where Manager Bai and Lin Yufei were already waiting.

Seeing Xu Lin coming in with a big bag, Manager Bai hurried over to greet her.

"Xu Zhiqing, when did you come back? You didn't even inform us so we could pick you up."

"I came back yesterday," Xu Lin glanced at Manager Bai, "Hey, Manager Bai, the food is good, and you have gained some weight."

"Hey, this, hey." Manager Bai touched his face happily, "Isn't this because my wife gave birth to a baby girl for me?

My mother cooks chicken soup for her every day, but the chicken doesn’t taste good and she doesn’t like it, so I get it for free.”

"Really? Congratulations." Xu Lin quickly congratulated him. These days, not many girls who give birth to their first child get to drink chicken soup.

I can only say that Manager Bai’s wife is very lucky.

"Thank you, thank you." Manager Bai smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears. It was obvious that he really liked the lady.

Only then did Lin Yufei find the opportunity to step forward and greet him. Xu Lin responded and asked, "Is Mr. Liu not here?"

"No, Mr. Liu went to the county hospital for a consultation today and may be back in the afternoon."

When Xu Lin heard that there would be a consultation, she stopped asking questions. The three of them entered the clinic. Xu Lin took Lin Yufei's pulse and found that the young man was in good physical condition.

My pulse is much better than the last time I checked. If I continue to take care of myself like this, it won't be a problem to recover.

Xu Lin asked, "Is the black market normal during this period?"

"The black market has been normal recently, but good stuff is still hard to buy." Manager Bai knew that Xu Lin had just returned, so he said a few more words.

After several turbulences, the black market has now stabilized and has been taken over by a gangster named Feng Qi.

It is said that Feng Qi is a retired veteran and a very decent person. The black market prices he manages are not as outrageous as before.

And there was no case of cheating on each other, so overall it was pretty good.

In fact, ordinary people don’t care about the black market or the open market. They just want to buy some food and not go hungry.

It would be great if you could buy something without being targeted.

After listening for a while, Xu Lin thought this was not bad. The black market was a product of this era.

When the market becomes open, the black market will become the white market, and then people will be able to buy things truly freely.

"Are you going to the black market to buy something?" asked Manager Bai.

"I'm not going today. I have to go back soon and have to go to work in the afternoon." Xu Lin put down the pen and handed the prescription to Manager Bai.

"Oh, thank you so much. If it weren't for my nephew, you wouldn't have come all the way here.

"I don't know how to thank you enough," said Manager Bai with a grateful look on his face.

To say that he kowtowed, that was definitely not the case. To say that he had done nothing at all would make Manager Bai feel bad.

But for a moment he couldn't think of what to thank Xu Lin for. Suddenly he slapped his forehead and said:

"I heard from Elder Liu that you were looking for medicinal herb seeds. Do you still need them now?"

"Yes, I need it. Do you have it here?" Xu Lin asked.

"Ordinary herbs should be easy to find at your place, so I won't show them to you to embarrass myself. However," Manager Bai kept it a secret and whispered:

"I have received the Immortal Grass and the Soul-Destroying Grass seeds. Do you want them?"

Xu Lin raised her eyebrows. The Immortal Grass was indeed rare. She didn't have any of it. However, she did have the seeds of the Soul-Severing Grass.

However, it was not Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun who helped to find it, but Xu Lin bought it in Hong Kong City.

"How much Immortality Grass is there?" Xu Lin asked.

"How much more? That stuff is hard to find. I only received two plants here. I can give you one. Is that okay with you?"

Manager Bai was afraid that Xu Lin would be unhappy, so he whispered, "The old boss of Renjitang also needs the Immortal Grass, otherwise I would have left it all to you."

"Oh, really? Do you know why he needs the Immortality Grass?" Xu Lin asked curiously.

"I heard that the little Koreans came to challenge the old club. The other side came prepared, so the old club wanted to use a surprise attack.

Use the immortal grass to make a potion, and then defeat the opponent in one fell swoop."

"Is it just a challenge? There's no prize for winning or losing?" Xu Lin narrowed her eyes, feeling that the other party had bad intentions.

"Of course there is a prize. The winner has to ask the loser for something, and the loser cannot refuse."

Manager Bai did not treat Xu Lin as an outsider and immediately told her everything he knew.

The little Koreans entered Longguo under the pretext of exchange and investigation. After arriving in Longguo, they were very arrogant and made things difficult for the reception staff.

Moreover, wherever they go, they will look for famous local Chinese medicine practitioners to provoke them. Most of the Chinese medicine practitioners who are already being oppressed choose to swallow their anger.

I just hope I don't get myself into trouble, but some troubles can't be avoided just because you want to.

Some people who kept silent were suppressed by the Ideological and Political Committee on the grounds that they had brought shame to the Chinese people.

After the former employer secretly investigated, it was learned that those people in the Ideological and Political Committee would secretly force the Chinese medicine practitioners who were targeted by the Koreans to hand over their family medicine.

If they fail to hand it over, they will be paraded through the streets at best, or demoted to a lower position at worst.

Many people were persecuted because of this, and some had to bow their heads and hand over their ancestral medical knowledge in order to protect their families.

Manager Bai was also very angry when he talked about these things, and he gritted his teeth at the end.

His old club had been kind to him, so he naturally didn't want it to lose in the fight.

Xu Lin listened to Manager Bai's speech with a serious face, her brows slightly wrinkled. She had just accepted the task and someone jumped in front of her?

Xu Lin suddenly looked up at Manager Bai and asked, "You know so much, are you telling me this on purpose?"

Manager Bai's expression froze when he asked the question. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Xu Lin. He didn't want to lie to Xu Lin, he really said that on purpose.

He knew that Xu Lin was no ordinary person. Which educated youth could ask for a leave of absence for three months?

Coupled with the big cases Xu Lin had been involved in before, this incident told Xu Lin intuitively that there might be a turn for the better.

"Now that you've said so much, just tell us everything you know, and don't hide anything." Xu Lin said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I, I."

Bai Jing tried to explain it, but he couldn't. He was indeed not a decent person. He wanted to use Xu Lin to suppress that gang.

But he had no choice. He couldn't just watch his old club fall into the opponent's trap. He knew that even if he won, it might not end well.
