Chapter 71: Taking the Medicine

After leaving Feng Yuqin's office, Zeng Yi quickly adjusted his mindset. This kind of opportunity is something many people dream of but never get. Since it has now fallen into his lap, he should seize this chance and make something significant out of it.

Zeng Yi was not averse to politics at heart. When young, everyone has the ambition to change the world, and Zeng Yi was no exception.

During his school days, like everyone else, when he read the phrase "study for the rise of China," he would be filled with passion and lofty aspirations. When he saw injustice in the world, he would be indignant and filled with anger.

Unfortunately, he had been exposed to medicine from a young age and studied it as well. His environment gradually focused his perspective on treating and saving lives. If not for the chance to cure Feng Yuqin's illness, Zeng Yi might have become a famous folk doctor like his grandfather.

Back in his office, many people from the Health Bureau came to congratulate him. It was clear that some were genuinely happy for him, but more had a look of jealousy and resentment in their eyes.

After dismissing these people, Zeng Yi invited each member of the preparatory group to join him at Venus in the evening.

He also called a few old friends, such as Tang Haoran, Du Ruo, Chen Long, and Tang Weiguo. He originally wanted to invite them all together, as it would be more lively with more people, but then he realized they were from different circles and might feel awkward, so he set the time for the next day.

After work, the members of the preparatory group went downstairs together. Guo Penghui was well-prepared and had arranged a luxury minibus from the bureau to take everyone away in one trip.

A security guard ran over to the entrance, "Dr. Zeng, two people are looking for you. They don't seem like decent people, so I didn't let them in. They are waiting at the gate now."

Zeng Yi looked up and saw two strong young men at the entrance of the Health Department, smoking and blowing smoke. Both had fierce expressions and occasionally glared at the security guards inside. No wonder the security guard said they didn't seem like decent people; Zeng Yi also thought so.

"Let them come over!" Zeng Yi didn't recognize these two people, but since they were looking for him by name, there must be a reason.

The security guard nodded and went to let them in. The two young men swaggered in and shouted from a distance, "Who is Zeng Yi?"

The members of the preparatory group immediately frowned. Who was so bold to shout so loudly here and even call Dr. Zeng by his name?

"Rude! Dr. Zeng's name is not something you can call!" The security guard followed, holding a baton and standing guard, feeling that these two were not good people.

"Spit!" One of the men, with a scar on his forehead, spat out his cigarette and stomped it out, saying, "Dr. Zeng, you are too arrogant! We've been waiting for you for several days and haven't even seen your face. You are busier than our boss Yuan!"

Zeng Yi understood. These were the people sent by Yuan Wenjie to pick up the medicine. It was supposed to be the day before yesterday, but Qin Yizhou suddenly arrived in Nanjiang, and for two days, he had been accompanying him as a health advisor, without even time to return to the clinic.

"Are you sent by Boss Yuan?" Zeng Yi asked.

The scar-faced man didn't answer but glared at Zeng Yi, "You are quite arrogant! Do you know that no one in Nanjiang Province dares to treat our boss Yuan like this!"

"Before, someone just gave our boss Yuan a dirty look. Do you know what happened to that guy?" The other, a thin and dark man, sneered, his eyes full of threat.

"Rude!" Guo Penghui shouted, pointing at the two arrogant men, "Who are you? How dare you threaten a government official? Do you know where you are?"

"Heh heh!" The scar-faced man laughed, "Government official? Who are you trying to scare? To be honest, I've beaten more government officials than all of you combined!"

The members of the preparatory group were collectively outraged. This was blatant intimidation, completely out of line, and utterly outrageous.

"Security!" Guo Penghui, trembling with anger, "Hold these two and call the police!"

"Call the police? Be my guest!" The thin and dark man stood there, leisurely smoking and blowing a smoke ring, "If we delay Boss Yuan's treatment, not just you, even your department head won't be able to bear the consequences."

Guo Penghui was furious, "Fine, I want to see what kind of god your Boss Yuan is!"

Zeng Yi stepped forward and held Guo Penghui back, "Director Guo, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over such people!" Then he looked at the two men and said, "Are you going to keep standing here talking nonsense, or are you going to take the medicine and leave?"

"Hey!" The scar-faced man glared, "We've been waiting for you for several days and haven't even lost our temper. You, on the other hand, are getting arrogant. What, do you want to fight?"

Zeng Yi, hearing this, turned around and said, "Everyone, get in the car. Don't pay attention to these people!"

Seeing Zeng Yi about to get in the car, the two men were furious. They usually relied on Yuan Wenjie's power to act arrogantly, and they had been waiting for Zeng Yi for several days, feeling very frustrated. They planned to give Zeng Yi a good scolding when they met him. However, they didn't expect Zeng Yi to be someone who doesn't back down from threats. Yuan Wenjie himself didn't intimidate Zeng Yi, so his followers were even less likely to do so. Threatening Zeng Yi with such a tone only provoked his anger.

The scar-faced man was very angry that someone dared to ignore him. He reached out to grab Zeng Yi's shoulder, "Kid, you are asking for it!"

Before his hand touched Zeng Yi's shoulder, the scar-faced man felt a blur in front of his eyes.

"Slap!" A sound.

"Get lost!" Zeng Yi slapped the scar-faced man's face and said sternly, "Go back and tell Yuan Wenjie to come and pick up the medicine himself!"

The scar-faced man was stunned. He was used to hitting others, not being hit. Today, he was suddenly hit by a doctor, and he was momentarily dazed.

"Looking for death!"

The thin and dark man, more like a silent dog, didn't say much but was more aggressive. He punched directly at Zeng Yi's face, moving quickly, clearly trained.

Zeng Yi didn't move a step. He reached out, grabbed, and twisted, and with a "crack," the thin and dark man's shoulder dislocated.

"You don't know your place!" Zeng Yi kicked the thin and dark man several meters away, "What are you? Even Yuan Wenjie wouldn't dare to speak to me like that!"

The members of the preparatory group were stunned. They didn't expect Zeng Yi to act so quickly. If it were them, they would never have resorted to violence. How could a government official casually hit people?

The security guard was excited. He had heard that Dr. Zeng was skilled, and today he saw it with his own eyes. The rumors were true. The security guard kicked the thin and dark man, who was lying on the ground, thinking, "You bastard, you dared to show your teeth at me earlier. I'll kick you to death!"

The scar-faced man, regaining his senses, tried to attack again but was beaten to the ground by several security guards and held down.

Guo Penghui shouted, "Hold them down, don't let them run. Call the police!"

Less than two minutes later, Chen Long drove a police car into the scene, got out, and took out handcuffs, saying fiercely, "Which bastard has the nerve to cause trouble here! Arrest them all!"

Several police officers rushed over and quickly handcuffed the two troublemakers.

Chen Long waved his hand, "Take them away and interrogate them thoroughly!"

The scar-faced man glared at Zeng Yi, "Kid, you wait. Boss Yuan won't let you off!"

"Boss Yuan?" Chen Long grinned, stepped forward, and tightened the handcuffs, making the scar-faced man's face turn pale. He laughed, "Even if he were a square boss, I would still arrest him!"

After the police took the men away, Chen Long walked up to Zeng Yi, smiling, "Brother Zeng, congratulations on your promotion. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts."

"It's not a big deal!" Zeng Yi raised his hand, "Since you're here, let's all go and celebrate."

Chen Long bowed to the people from the Health Department, smiling, "I came uninvited. Do the leaders have any objections?"

Most of the people from the Health Department knew Chen Long and said, "Of course not, let's all go. The more, the merrier!"

After the car left the Health Department, Guo Penghui said, "Xiao Zeng, be careful in the future. Try to avoid physical altercations if possible."

The others agreed, thinking it was a bit impulsive to hit people.

Yang Shuanghe, who had been silent, asked when everyone calmed down, "By the way, who is this Boss Yuan they mentioned? He seems quite powerful!"

Zeng Yi replied, "He is the boss of Feilong Construction."

The people in the car gasped. Goodness, wasn't that the son of Deputy Governor Yuan Gongping? The car fell silent. These old officials were all very shrewd and knew how to protect themselves. They were all thinking about how to extricate themselves from this situation. Yuan Wenjie was not someone to be trifled with. A small official who once offended him ended up with a mental illness, a tragic fate.

Even Chen Long was a bit scared. He didn't expect to have caught a hot potato today. Zeng Yi wasn't afraid of Yuan Wenjie, but if Yuan Wenjie were to take it out on him, it would be a big problem. Yuan Gongping was a member of the provincial party committee and deputy governor, a top leader in Nanjiang Province. He could make Chen Long, a small police chief, suffer countless times with just a flick of his finger.

"Director Chen, do you want to go back and handle this case first?" Zeng Yi asked.

Chen Long was startled and came to his senses. Zeng Yi usually called him "Brother Chen," but now he called him "Director Chen," clearly dissatisfied with his momentary hesitation. Damn, the people were already arrested, and Yuan Wenjie was already offended. Regretting now wouldn't help. If the sky falls, there will always be someone taller to hold it up.

"What's there to handle? Detain them for a night and interrogate them tomorrow!" Chen Long laughed, pretending to be bold, "No matter who they are, if they cause trouble in a government office, they will be dealt with strictly and severely!"
