Chapter 78: The Third Senior Brother Shows His Power

“Then, please tally the account, elder,” Lin Fan said, clasping his fists.

Although the old man in front of him didn’t seem to be a martial artist, Xu Fan had a faint feeling that this Elder Lin had an extraordinary aura. Moreover, Elder Lin had given Xu Fan a 10% discount on the price of his medicinal materials as soon as he arrived, so Xu Fan spoke to him politely and with respect.

The storeroom of Zhi Shen Tang was located near the storefront. At Boss Lin’s command, the clerks were very quick, and in a short while, they had packed and delivered all the ordinary medicinal materials that Xu Fan had requested.

At that moment, Boss Lin had also finished calculating the account. The total price of all the medicinal materials reached a staggering 1.3 million. With a grand wave of his hand, Boss Lin gave Xu Fan a 10% discount, quoting a price of 1.15 million.

“Young friend, this batch of medicinal materials only includes the common ones from the list you wrote, which are worth only a few tens of thousands. The expensive items are those herbs that are over fifty to a hundred years old. However, these materials are spread across other warehouses and climate-controlled storage rooms; they can’t be brought to you immediately. I will collect them as fast as I can and then deliver them to you all at once,” Boss Lin said, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture.

“No problem. I’ll leave my phone number. Contact me when the materials are ready, and I will come to collect them personally,” Xu Fan nodded, understanding the situation. After all, many valuable medicinal materials can’t just be kept in the store, and the goods Xu Fan wanted were Zhi Shen Tang’s premium substances, many of which needed to be transferred from warehouses in various branches.

After speaking, Xu Fan took out his Global Supreme Black Diamond Card with a limit of five million and swiped it to pay the 1.15 million for the medicinal materials.

When swiping the card, Xu Fan also noted the limit; the expenses on the car and now the medicines had already amounted to over two million, leaving just a little more than two million on the card. If he didn’t start earning money, just relying on this card wouldn’t last long.

He had to find a way to make money. Xu Fan made a mental note, then greeted Elder Lin and left Zhi Shen Tang.

After Xu Fan drove away, Boss Lin slowly walked out the door, looking after the departing Xu Fan with bright, contemplative eyes.

Just then, his phone rang in his pocket. Boss Lin answered the call, and an anxious voice came through, “Dad, the board meeting for our group is about to begin. Why have you run off to the pharmacy to read idle books again?”

A vexed expression appeared on Boss Lin’s face as he spoke into the phone, “You lot can hold the meeting just fine. Can’t you let this old man have a moment of peace?”

“Dad, there’s a major decision to be made at the company, and we need you to attend; otherwise, no one can finalize it.”

“Fine, have the driver come to pick me up. It’s rare for this old man to have a moment of leisure, and yet the company’s business has found its way to me. What a nuisance!” Boss Lin shook his head and walked slowly back into Zhi Shen Tang.

Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove up directly to the front door of Zhi Shen Tang from the side of the street,

And two burly bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses swiftly got out of the car and briskly opened the rear door.

Then, the driver went into Zhi Shen Tang and respectfully said to Boss Lin, “Chairman, please get in the car.”

With that, Boss Lin picked up the quaint, thread-bound book he was reading at the pharmacy, patted the wrinkles off his clothes, then stepped out and climbed into the waiting Rolls-Royce Phantom outside.

Two bodyguards cautiously closed the car door and got into the vehicle themselves. After the car roared to life, it sped away.

At this moment, outside Villa No. 88 in Star of Zhonghai, three sneaky black figures quietly made their way to the villa’s windows.

Inside the villa, Tongtong held Ben Ben, sitting happily by the TV and watching the cartoon Peppa Pig.

Ben Ben, who had been lazily lounging in Tongtong’s arms, suddenly became a bit alert, sniffed his little nose, and then nuzzled into Tongtong’s arms with a low whining sound twice.

Tongtong, seeing that Ben Ben was a bit restless in her arms, thought he didn’t want to play with her. She firmly hugged Ben Ben and even started scolding him like a teacher, “Ben Ben! Watch the TV properly, don’t move around.”

“Woof Woof, little master, I sense someone’s presence nearby,” Ben Ben said to Tongtong in dog language.

Unfortunately, Tongtong wasn’t Xu Fan and couldn’t understand what Ben Ben was saying. She only noticed that the dog’s barking was louder, so she put Ben Ben on the couch and pinched his nose, saying, “Ben Ben, are you hungry? As Tongtong’s root, Tongtong will treat you well. I’ll go find you something to eat right now.”

After speaking, Tongtong patted Ben Ben’s head and added, “I’ll go find you some food now; you stay here and watch the TV for me. Remember, don’t leave the couch, or I’ll get angry.”

“Woof Woof…” Ben Ben barked anxiously a couple of times. Having awakened his intelligence and possessing a particularly keen dog’s nose, he could already faintly smell a hint of danger in the air.

“Stay put, no barking.” Tongtong stroked Ben Ben’s smooth fur, thinking he was just hungry. She then trotted her little legs towards the kitchen.

Outside, the trio of kidnappers were positioned strategically: Tai Shan was lying in wait outside the living room, Cong Lin Bao was lying in wait outside the bedroom, and Chen Miao, aka Three Waters, was right outside the kitchen window.

The trio was ready to burst in from three points simultaneously and then search each room for Xu Fan’s daughter. Three Waters was just about to give the go-ahead when he saw little Tongtong, small and delicate, run into the kitchen.

Little Tongtong had come to the kitchen to find something for Ben Ben to eat. Being too short to reach the upper shelves of the fridge, she could only open the lower part and look back and forth, searching for something suitable for the dog to eat.

“Haha, fortune favors me! You can’t run away now, brat!” Outside the kitchen window, Three Waters let out a sinister chuckle and then grabbed the stainless steel anti-theft bars with both hands.

With two creaking sounds, the thumb-thick stainless steel bars were twisted and broken by Three Waters’ hands.

With a powerful pull, Three Waters widened the gap to the size of a person and then, with a leap, agilely jumped into the kitchen.

“Move in now! Enter and come straight to the kitchen to join me!” Three Waters ordered the other two underground boxers through the headset. He then rushed towards Tongtong, who was still bobbing her head and choosing food by the fridge.

“You little brat, now that you’ve fallen into my hands, let’s see how I torment you and your bastard of a father!” Three Waters’ face broke into a cruel smile as he reached out to grab Tongtong.
