Chapter 29

Ye Chenfeng could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He squatted down and carefully examined a Yun Teng mushroom. The Yun Teng mushrooms on the stall were about the size of a palm, composed of black and white colors. One black and one white, they looked like a yin-yang face. No wonder the middle-aged man had suspected that the Yun Teng mushrooms were poisonous. The colors were so strange, and it was a mushroom species he had never seen before. It was inevitable that they would associate the Yun Teng mushrooms with the word "poison."

With great interest, Ye Chenfeng examined all five Yun Teng mushrooms but did not rush to buy them. Instead, he asked, "Where did your father find this kind of mushroom?"

The honest stall owner looked at Ye Chenfeng and said, "A month ago, our family urgently needed money. But we are people who live in the countryside, usually supporting ourselves by farming and hunting. Later, my father said he would go to the border's primeval forest to try his luck, to see if he could hunt a few wild animals. Later, my father discovered this kind of mushroom in a canyon in the primeval forest. There was even a large python next to the mushrooms! Soon after my father left the primeval forest, he fell ill, and no specific cause could be found. So I wanted to raise more money to take my father to a big hospital for treatment."

The surrounding customers all sneered at the honest stall owner's words. The middle-aged man reminded, "Young brother, don't fall for it. Not all people in the countryside are as simple as they seem. Some of them are more cunning than us city people!"

Ye Chenfeng knew the middle-aged man was well-intentioned, but he had already determined that these were definitely Yun Teng mushrooms. He was determined to get these five Yun Teng mushrooms today. If he had a large batch of Yun Teng mushrooms, it would greatly accelerate his improvement in strength, which was a huge temptation for him.

"Thank you for your reminder," Ye Chenfeng said, not one to ignore good intentions. He then looked at the stall owner and said, "I'll take all five of these mushrooms."

Hearing this, the honest stall owner's face lit up with excitement. He looked at Ye Chenfeng gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you. I can take my father to a better hospital for treatment."

"Little brother, do you recognize this kind of mushroom? Aren't you just throwing your money into the Huangpu River? What value could this kind of mushroom have? It might even contain deadly poison!" The middle-aged man was somewhat angry that Ye Chenfeng did not listen to his advice.

The honest stall owner looked at Ye Chenfeng and the middle-aged man cautiously. To be honest, he did not know what use these mushrooms had. But his father's illness could not be delayed any longer. In a desperate situation, he brought these unknown mushrooms and took a five-day bus ride to the big city of Tianhai to try his luck.

If he could not sell even one, he would not be able to raise the money for his father's medical treatment. He had to pay all the money he had to get the right to set up a stall for five days. Tomorrow was the last day, and he had no money left. He had even gone hungry for three days.

Ye Chenfeng did not need to explain the use of the Yun Teng mushrooms to the middle-aged man. He said casually, "I just want to study this new species. I am very curious about these novel things."

"Alright, I'll wrap up these five mushrooms for you," Ye Chenfeng said to the honest stall owner.

Hearing this, the honest stall owner quickly took out a bag and put the five Yun Teng mushrooms into it.

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had said so much, the middle-aged man did not say anything more. After all, Ye Chenfeng was spending his own money.

At this moment, Ye Chenfeng suddenly remembered that he only had 500 yuan in cash left. His bank card was almost empty, and the three million yuan he had taken from Yunhu Group was still under the bed in the villa. If he went back to get the money, it would be very troublesome.

Just then, Zhao Wanting, who had been following him, spoke up again, "Sir, would you come to my house and help my father? Whatever the request, as long as I can do it, I will fulfill it."

Ye Chenfeng turned to look at Zhao Wanting, examining her carefully. Her well-proportioned figure was something any man would look at twice.

Feeling Ye Chenfeng's gaze, Zhao Wanting blushed slightly, realizing that her words might have been ambiguous. She thought to herself, "As long as he can save my father, even if I have to make a great sacrifice, it will be worth it."

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs," Zhao Wanting's fiancé, Wan Kai, said extremely angrily. He had also seen Ye Chenfeng's gaze on Zhao Wanting and thought that Ye Chenfeng had designs on her.

"Such a dirty mind," Ye Chenfeng thought, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

He reached out and pulled Zhao Wanting into his arms, feeling the softness of her waist. He asked with a smile, "Is it really any request?"

"Y-You, let go of Wanting, or I'll make you pay," Wan Kai said, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face. He had never even held Zhao Wanting's hand, and she always treated him coldly.

Ye Chenfeng ignored Wan Kai, and Zhao Wanting, blushing, felt her heart racing. The masculine aura from Ye Chenfeng made her a bit dizzy. She kept telling herself, "I'm doing this to save my father. As long as he can save my father, that's all that matters."

Ye Chenfeng's hand gently caressed Zhao Wanting's smooth skin and said, "Help me pay."

Ye Chenfeng had no ulterior motives with Zhao Wanting. He was not the type to go weak at the knees at the sight of a beautiful woman. Otherwise, he would have agreed to Zhao Wanting's request earlier. He was just too lazy to go back to the villa to get the money, so he asked Zhao Wanting to pay, considering it as payment for treating her father. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well go and see what was wrong with Zhao Wanting's father.

"Ah?" Zhao Wanting exclaimed in surprise, then asked in confusion after a moment, "You want me to help you pay?"

"Are you unwilling? If you are, I can take care of it myself," Ye Chenfeng said, letting go of Zhao Wanting.

"Willing, willing, of course willing. So you will go and see my father's illness?" Zhao Wanting asked happily.

Wan Kai looked at Ye Chenfeng with a dark expression, extremely displeased. He thought angrily, "Acting so pure in front of me? Not resisting when a strange man hugs you? You're a slut. I'll make you pay one day."

Wan Kai's mind was filled with such dirty thoughts, and his eyes roamed over Zhao Wanting's chest and hips.
