Chapter 34 A strong arm shielded her from the knife
Zhang Fuxi was completely bewildered. He sat up straight and said, "Miss, just ask whatever you need. This old man will answer everything I know!"
Kong Wange's expression turned tense as she stared intently at Zhang Fuxi and asked seriously, "Uncle Zhang, do you still remember Aunt Zhang? Back then, she worked for my mother just like you."
"The old man can forget anyone but her, though she left here five years ago."
This matches what Kong Mengjiao said.
Kong Wange took a deep breath and then asked, "Do you know why she resigned? Where did she go after she left?"
"She never mentioned this. It's strange, but since she left the company, she has completely disappeared and lost contact with all of us old friends."
Recalling the past, Zhang Fuxi was somewhat emotional and asked Kong Wange, "Did the young lady want to see her about something?"
"Yes, it's something personal," she murmured.
With her hopes dashed, Kong Wange couldn't help but feel disappointed.
After a moment, she changed her mind and asked, "Uncle Zhang, do you know of any companies in Jiangcheng that can help people find information?"
"I really don't know that..." Zhang Fuxi pondered for a while, then said uncertainly, "But I've been in this place for so many years, and there are so many people coming and going. I think I've heard of an underground organization called Shadow Gate, which is very well-informed."
"Where can we find this organization?" Kong Wange's expression tightened.
"I don't know. This organization is very mysterious and not something ordinary people like us can come into contact with. It is said that they only take on big orders from the powerful and wealthy. However, Miss, you can try to search online. Maybe you can contact them through the companies under this organization."
Kong Wange nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Fuxi waved his hand: "Oh, I haven't really helped the young lady much, so I don't deserve your thanks!"
Kong Wange smiled and was about to say something when she saw Xiao Du rushing over in a panic: "Dr. Zhang, please come to the lobby and take a look!"
Zhang Fuxi frowned: "What's wrong?"
"A group of people came in from outside, carrying a lot of sticks, and they were looking for the boss!" Xiao Du said, panting.
Zhang Fuxi stood up, his expression somewhat serious, and said, "Wait here, I'll go take a look."
Kong Wange stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Zhang Fuxi instinctively stopped her: "Miss, please don't come along. Who knows who's outside? What if there's danger..."
Kong Wange smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, didn't you hear? They want to see the boss. I'm the owner of the clinic now. How can I not go?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fuxi had nothing to say and could only say, "Alright then, if a conflict breaks out later, Miss, please remember to protect yourself."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
As soon as she stepped out of the reception room, Kong Wange spotted the group of people Xiao Du had mentioned in the lobby.
The man leading the group was a burly, bald man. Upon seeing Kong Wange and Zhang Fuxi emerge, he immediately raised an eyebrow and asked, "Which of you is the boss?"
Just as Zhang Fuxi was about to speak, Kong Wange stepped forward first and calmly said, "That's me."
The bald man nodded: "Is this the only traditional Chinese medicine clinic on Jiangyang Road?"
"So what if it is?"
Upon hearing this, the bald man turned to his henchmen and said, "Brothers, this is it, smash it!"
The next moment, a group of people behind the bald man rushed forward, swinging sticks and steel pipes in their hands, and began to smash the decorations in the lobby.
In an instant, wood chips from tables and chairs flew everywhere, medicinal herbs were scattered all over the floor, and the entire hall was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine that was many times stronger than before.
Seeing this, Zhang Fuxi scolded and stepped forward to stop them, saying, "What are you doing? Who gave you permission to come and vandalize our clinic!"
The thug who had been stopped pushed Zhang Bo aside with all his might: "Old man, get out of my way!"
Zhang Fuxi stumbled and almost fell, but luckily Kong Wange caught him from behind.
"Uncle Zhang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Zhang Fuxi stood up straight, looking indignant. "Miss, what should we do? Did we offend someone?"
Kong Wange frowned: "I don't know. I'll go and find out where they came from. If things don't look good, you can go first and don't worry about me."
"Young Miss..."
Before Uncle Zhang could say anything more, Kong Wange had already walked up to the bald man and stopped him: "Brother, what do you mean by coming to smash up my clinic without a word?"
"Sorry, boss, we're just doing this for money!" The bald man acted like a respectable person in the underworld.
"You're paid to do things? Who hired you?"
The bald man snorted coldly: "You seem like a sensible person. You should know who you've offended, right?"
So you're not going to talk about it?
"Of course not! Every profession has its rules. If I told them, how would I ever be able to survive in this world again!"
Kong Wange nodded slightly: "You're right, then I'll have to offend you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly flipped her palm, and a silver needle shot out from her fingertip, heading straight for the bald man's neck.
She was tall and stood beside him, coldly saying, "If the silver needle in my hand gets an inch closer, your limbs will be paralyzed; if it gets two inches closer, your life will be in danger."
The bald man was caught off guard by Kong Wange, a young girl, who actually had such a trick up her sleeve. Feeling the silver needles piercing his neck, his scalp tingled: "W-what are you going to do?"
Kong Wange said calmly, "Tell your men to stop!"
The bald man gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Without saying a word, Kong Wange inserted the silver needle an inch into the hole.
The bald man's hands and feet went numb instantly.
He now realized that Kong Wange wasn't joking, but had real skills, so he had no choice but to turn to his underlings and say, "Stop, all of you stop!"
Secretly, he winked at one of his blond henchmen.
This was also the first time Kong Wange had faced someone like this, and she was extremely nervous, so she didn't notice his expression.
Seeing that everyone stopped listening to him, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Young lady, be careful!"
A blond man appeared to be trying to ambush her from the side, but Zhang Fuxi stopped him by grabbing him!
He practices Tai Chi every day, so he's still quite healthy.
The blond-haired young man couldn't break free for a moment.
In that brief moment of distraction, Kong Wange was taken advantage of by the bald man.
He was a ruthless man. Although his limbs were numb, he still used brute force to push Kong Wange to the ground and then pulled out the silver needles!
Seeing this, Kong Wange knew something was wrong.
However, before she could react, a green-haired thug rushed towards her.
The object in the green-haired boy's hand reflected a blinding light in the sunlight, and Kong Wange's heart leaped into her throat—it was a knife.
If someone were to be slashed like that, they would most likely be crippled.
She tried to get up, but the bald man slammed her down so hard that she couldn't muster any strength for a moment.
She saw the knife heading straight for her chest.
In the moment of crisis, a tall figure suddenly darted out from the side and shielded Kong Wange behind him before the knife could reach her!
