The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 756 Bai Ling

Hearing Zhang He’s words, Ling Feng glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense!"

After that, he looked towards the girl and stretched out his hand, "Hello, sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you to come along too!"

Zhang He and the girl were both taken aback and asked simultaneously, "How did you know?"

Ling Feng looked back at him, "Sixth sense. Didn’t you say you went on a blind date before? So, I figured she must be the Mrs. who was successful in the match!"

"Ugh, talking to you is just no fun!"

Zhang He rolled his eyes and said to the girl, "Bai Qian, this is Ling Feng. He’s alright and knows his manners!"

"Nice to meet you, Ling Feng, Zhang He has mentioned you to me before."

Bai Qian smiled and extended her hand to shake with Ling Feng.

Although Ling Feng could joke around with Zhang He, naturally, he had to be very respectful towards someone’s wife. So he smiled and said, "Don’t believe what he says, it’s usually quite the opposite!"

Bai Qian was startled, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "If that were true, then you wouldn’t be a good person in my eyes!"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng looked back at Zhang He in surprise, "What? I actually have a positive image in your tales?"

"Nonsense, jokes aside, would I talk bad about you behind your back?"

Zhang He glared at him and then pulled over a chair to sit down, "Alright, let’s sit down and get to the point!"

Ling Feng sat next to him and smiled, "You didn’t come specially for the Ling Corporation’s listing ceremony, did you?"

"Of course not, that was just by the way!"

Zhang He raised an eyebrow, "I’m here mainly for the Thunderbolt Pill!"

"You’re really straightforward!"

Ling Feng was speechless. Even if that was really the case, couldn’t he just have said he came especially for the opening ceremony? Wouldn’t that sound better?

Zhang He chuckled, "Why stand on ceremony with you?"

Then he patted Ling Feng on the shoulder and winked, "I heard you’ve also concocted quite a few other elixirs, is that true?"

"Who? Who told you?" Ling Feng was on guard!

"Come on, it doesn’t matter who told me. Anyway, if you only give me a little bit of the Thunderbolt Pill this time, I definitely won’t accept it!" Zhang He said.

Ling Feng looked at him, "You won’t accept it? So what, are you going to bite me?"

"I told you, this guy is stingy!"

Zhang He didn’t pay him any attention and turned to Bai Qian instead.

Bai Qian smiled faintly, knowing these two were old chums ribbing each other, and didn’t say anything.

But Ling Feng couldn’t let it go; being maligned in front of a beautiful woman, how could he allow that?

So he glared at Zhang He, "You can’t say that, I’m not stingy. You know how difficult it is to concoct elixirs, the materials are very hard to find, some I have to buy with money. Besides, I don’t even call the shots now!"

"So who does?"

Zhang He asked puzzledly.

"Zhou Yi. She’s the one in charge of all my elixirs!" Ling Feng said.

"Oh?"

Zhang He’s eyes twinkled, chuckling, "What? Has she become your housekeeper now?"

"..."

Ling Feng was speechless, "Thank goodness she’s not here. Otherwise, if she heard that, I doubt you’d end up in a good place!"

To his surprise, Zhang He just chuckled, "No worries, since they’re not with you, it actually makes things easier!"

"What do you mean?"

Ling Feng’s eyes widened, "Zhou Yi will give the elixir to you?"

"That’s right, she’ll give me as much as I want. You believe me?" Zhang He winked.

Ling Feng curled his lips: "Yeah, right, as if I’d believe that!"

Those elixirs were meant to be kept in reserve, and he didn’t believe that Zhou Yi would just give them to Zhang He for nothing unless there was something in it for him.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng’s mind raced, and he said, "Hey, you’re not planning to bribe her, are you?"

"Do you think it would work?" Zhang He shot back.

Ling Feng thought for a moment and shook his head: "I think it’s impossible!"

Zhang He smiled without replying and raised his glass: "Whether it’s possible or not, you’ll find out tomorrow!"

Seeing him gesture to clink glasses, Ling Feng shook his head: "No way, I won’t have dinner with you until you make things clear today. What’s with all this waiting for tomorrow? Why should I wait?"

Zhang He and Bai Qian were both taken aback, a bit puzzled by his meaning.

But Ling Feng didn’t elaborate further and instead looked at Zhang He: "Right, almost forgot the main topic because of your distractions, what’s up with Yang Da and Yang Er? Do you know they came to the provincial city last time?"

"Their stand-ins came. The real ones aren’t in the country; they’ve gone to the Middle East!" Zhang He took a sip of his wine and said indifferently.

"So, you know everything, huh?"

Ling Feng’s eyes rounded as he stared and asked.

Zhang He chuckled: "Don’t get so worked up, I only found out about this after there were issues on your end. Otherwise, with our relationship, wouldn’t I have informed you in advance?"

Ling Feng acknowledged that did make sense and then followed up asking, "So, is that the end of it with these two?"

"Of course not!"

Zhang He shook his head, "My people, along with Brother Lu, have already started tracking them. They set off with me yesterday!"

"Brother Lu went to the Middle East?"

Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise as he asked.

"Yeah, this kind of mission happens often. What’s so strange about it?" Zhang He asked.

"Uh...."

Ling Feng gave a wry smile helplessly and shook his head, "Why do I feel I’ve become a bystander, like the bureau’s affairs have nothing to do with me anymore!"

Zhang He glanced at him, his tone carrying a deeper meaning: "Don’t think too much about it. The bureau temporarily has no assignments for you; naturally, they have other plans. In a little while, you might just be too busy!"

Seeing he seemed to have an underlying message, Ling Feng asked, "What does that mean? Do you know something?"

"Hey, I’ve come a long way to find you and even arranged for a meal. You’re not planning to talk shop with me all night, are you?" Zhang He asked.

"..."

Left without a leg to stand on by such a question, Ling Feng could only apologize with a laugh and then added, "My bad, my bad. But as guests from far away, I should be the one treating you, right?"

Zhang He looked at him: "Don’t bother arguing. The whole county isn’t your property yet, so it’s too soon to say that. Plus, we’re going to Shiliu Village tomorrow, and missing out on a big meal is out of the question. Just make sure the arrangements are ready in advance!"

"Of course, I’ll make sure it’s all set!"

Ling Feng thought to himself, now that I have White Jiao, am I afraid I can’t satisfy your appetite?

At this point, Zhang He turned to look at Bai Qian, "What do you think?"

"I have no objections; you don’t need to ask me," Bai Qian said with a smile.

Ling Feng was somewhat startled: "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing, I’ll introduce you to someone in a bit."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the private room opened and a girl who bore some resemblance to Bai Qian walked in. Upon seeing Ling Feng, she immediately smiled, "Oh, so the person has arrived already?"

"Who is this?"

Ling Feng was even more confused, looking at Zhang He in bewilderment and asking.

"Didn’t I tell you I was going to introduce you to a beautiful woman?"

Zhang He glared at him: "This is Bai Qian’s sister, Bai Ling."

Ling Feng remained baffled, unable to make sense of the situation before him and wondering to himself if this was some kind of blind date.
