Medical Master

Chapter 1335 I’m Fang Qiu

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The roars of engines echoed all around the market. In the stores, the wholesalers were leisurely drinking tea. But when they heard the noise, they all came out to check out the situation.

Big trucks would usually come to this Chinese medicinal herbs market to pick up the goods. However, they had never created such a din like this before. Besides, the noise didn’t seem to come from big trucks but from a fleet of cars.

They were all very curious.

One after another, all the wholesalers of Chinese medicinal herbs went to their doors to see what was going on.

When they looked out…

All the people were dumbfounded.

They saw a fleet of three different kinds of cars.

There were cars from the police station, the National Medical Products Administration, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!

All these three departments were in charge of these medicine merchants.

Each government agency drove two cars to the traditional Chinese medicine market. Together, they parked these cars on a road as wide as a four-lane expressway in the market.

After they got out of their cars, these officials looked at each other and exchanged a few words in private.

Over there…

Those medicine merchants watched them, bursting with curiosity.

“What are these people from the authorities doing here? Why are they all here?

“Did someone report any one of us?”

Before long…

These wholesalers of Chinese medicinal herbs came out and looked around curiously, as they waited to see who would be the unlucky wholesale store.

Over here…

All the law enforcement officers from the three teams pointed to a pharmacy named ‘Ningjiang Chinese Medicinal Herbs Retail and Wholesale Store’ by the market gate.

Then, they walked over together.

The store’s boss was a thin, middle-aged man with sparse hair. His mouth stuck out, and he had a chin like an ape’s.

Meanwhile…

He was also looking at the officials from the three authorities and wondered what they were here for.

But he didn’t expect that…

These people from the three government departments pointed at his shop at the same time. This scene shocked him greatly. The visit from one of these three government agencies was enough to make his blood curdle. Today, people from three such agencies came. How could they all point at him?

The other medicine merchants quickly gathered around him.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s the matter?”

“What did you do? Why would officials from the police station, the National Medical Products Administration, and the Industry and Commerce Bureau come after you?”

Everyone asked, one after another.

“I don’t know either. I can’t make it out at all .”

The pharmacy owner was dumbfounded.

At this time…

The law enforcers from the three teams had arrived at the pharmacy’s door.

“Where’s the owner?”

The police looked into the pharmacy and turned to look around.

“I, I am the boss.”

The middle-aged man hurried forward and asked in confusion, “Is there a problem? I didn’t do anything illegal.”

“Someone reported you.”

As the staff of the National Medical Products Administration walked into the shop, they checked the various medicinal herbs in the sacks and buckets and said, “You’re said to have sold fake and inferior traditional Chinese medicine!”

“What?”

As soon as the boss heard that, he exploded with anger.

“Which bastard reported me? How can I have any shoddy Chinese Medicine here? I have been selling medicine in this market for more than ten years, and no one has ever doubted the quality of my traditional Chinese medicine. Go and ask those traditional Chinese Medicine stores. Every one of them comes here to replenish their stocks. How can I sell poor-quality Chinese Medicine?”

The boss was so furious that he began to curse and had an insolent expression.

It seemed that he wanted to prove his innocence through anger, or maybe he wanted to drive the three teams of law enforcement officers away with rage.

But against all his expectations…

As soon as he finished speaking…

“Watch your manners!”

A policeman went straight to him and said with a serious face, “Getting angry can’t prove your innocence. We will check out whether you’re selling fake medicinal herbs or not. We are law enforcement officers. When someone reports something, we will investigate it. Just stay aside and don’t hinder our investigation!”

After he said that…

The pharmacy owner was stunned.

“How can you do this to me?”

After he pondered over the matter, the pharmacy owner aggressively argued with the policeman before him and shouted in a towering rage, “You can’t investigate me as you like. This is my store. What right do you have to investigate it? Do you have a search warrant? You said I sold fake and inferior herbs, but do you have any evidence to support that? If you do these kinds of checks whenever anyone reports something, I’ll go and report it right now. I’ll make you busy with your work every day!”

...

Aside…

“That’s right. What’s the use of reporting it? You have to show the evidence.”

“Maybe the person reported him to take revenge, or he just wanted to make a fool of you.”

“You have no evidence at all. How can you come here after merely receiving a phone call to report?”

“What can you do even if you come? Do you know how to examine traditional Chinese medicine and tell its quality? Do you have the ability to discriminate between good and bad?”

The other medicine merchants started to complain.

On the other side…

When they heard what the pharmacy owner and the people around him said, these people from the police station, the National Medical Products Administration, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau were all in a dilemma.

Just as these people said…

They had no evidence and didn’t know much about medicinal herbs. Would they have to take away so many medicinal herbs and test them individually?

The three teams of law enforcers looked at each other helplessly.

...

The crowd of onlookers gathering around them sneered secretly.

These wholesalers of medicinal herbs had experienced this kind of situation before. It was just that they usually faced officials from one agency, but this time, they had to deal with people from three agencies.

Since they had experienced the same thing…

They had long since grasped the law enforcers’ weaknesses. Each time these people came, they would force the law enforcers to leave using the same method. Then, they would replace the products on the shelves with good-quality ones they had already prepared. Afterward, they just needed to wait for the law enforcers to bring over professionals to do the survey. That way, the law enforcers couldn’t find anything wrong with their products. Using the same trick, they managed to run their sinister business for over ten years.

In particular…

Almost all the wholesalers of Chinese medicinal herbs in this market sold fake and inferior drugs. Because of this, every time law enforcers emerged, these merchants would rise and expel them together. By doing so, they could help their peers and buy themselves the time to exchange medicinal herbs.

This time…

The same thing happened.

In this situation, the three teams of law enforcers discussed if they should stay in the store and call the professionals to come over…

Fang Qiu stepped out. Before this, he had stood among the crowd, listening to their laughter.

As he entered the pharmacy…

He grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs from a large vat beside him.

“It’s indeed fake traditional Chinese medicine.”

He said to the three teams of enforcers. Then, Fang Qiu dropped the medicinal herb and walked to the next one. After grabbing another handful, he said, “I don’t think it’s up to the standard!”

“This one is fake.”

“This herbal medicine has been adulterated.”

Before the three teams of law enforcers, Fang Qiu picked up all the fake herbs, one by one.

When they heard his analysis…

The three teams of law enforcement officers immediately focused their attention on Fang Qiu.

The bystanders outside the pharmacy were also dumbfounded.

They didn’t expect someone to stand up and do such a thing. “Who is this guy? Is he a businessman in the market?”

These law enforcers and other pharmacy owners who stood watching nearby were doubtful, but the owner of this wholesale shop instantly looked nervous. The more herbs Fang Qiu picked up and commented on, the uglier his face became.

When Fang Qiu picked up the fifth one, the boss came up, his face livid. In a gush of uncontrollable anger, he grabbed Fang Qiu’s hand and pointed at him.

“You have no right to decide whether my herbs are inferior!”

The owner shouted angrily, “I have run this shop for more than ten years, but I’ve never sold any shoddy products. Listen, if you talk nonsense again, I’ll sue you for framing me!”

Everyone on the scene heard his threat.

They all turned to look at Fang Qiu, wondering what he would do. Would he give in?

But the next moment…

ƒ𝔯ℯe𝘄𝐞𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵ𝘦𝒍. com

“You can sue me at any time.”

Fang Qiu responded indifferently and took off his hat. Then, he pulled out a pack of wet tissues from his pocket and quickly wiped off the makeup on his face.

Everyone was puzzled.

They watched this young man when he was doing all of this. Gradually, they found his face looked a little familiar.

Eventually…

All the people around were astounded and stood there with their mouths agape!

“He, he is…”

One pointed at Fang Qiu and stammered. He was unable to complete his sentence.

“I’m Fang Qiu.”

After he wiped off the makeup on his face, Fang Qiu raised his head. He glanced at the pharmacy owner standing before him and turned around. Then, he told officials from the three agencies, “I’ll take full responsibility for my words!”

Hearing that, the owner stared up at Fang Qiu with wide-open eyes.

He could never have imagined that.

It was Fang Qiu! Fang Qiu came out to testify that his medicinal herbs were fake and inferior!

The owner stared at Fang Qiu.

He was rooted to the spot. His tongue was so dry that he couldn’t even utter a word.

This person was none other than Fang Qiu!

How could Fang Qiu lie about it?

How could he deny the accusation from Fang Qiu?

Fang Qiu was recognized as the top Chinese Medicine doctor in the world today. Considering his unrivaled reputation, how could the owner even have the guts to refute his claim?

Not just the owner…

The faces of the onlookers outside also changed.

Although they looked frightened, they secretly considered themselves lucky. Thank goodness Fang Qiu didn’t target them. Meanwhile, they pitied the pharmacy owner. This time, he offended the wrong guy!

“You wanted to do a test, right? I can accompany you.”

Fang Qiu asked as he stared intently at the owner.

The owner looked perplexed.

His throat became so dry that he could hardly speak, too stunned to answer Fang Qiu’s question.

Over there…

All three teams of law enforcers breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Fang Qiu was here, there would not be any problems.

These people from the National Medical Products Administration were soon busy collecting all the herbs Fang Qiu had picked up. They would examine and test these goods.

As for the police…

One police officer walked up to the owner and said, “We won’t handcuff you, but I hope you can cooperate with our investigation.”

The owner lowered his head with a sad and frustrated look on his face.

Outside the store…

Everyone thought that was the end of the mess. In a rush, they were ready to return to their stores and replace the low-quality medicinal herbs with good ones.

“Wait a minute.”

The police were about to detain the owner for further questioning at the police station. Abruptly, Fang Qiu called out to all the law enforcement officers, “I’m sorry, but you may have to call for backup.”

As he spoke…

He took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket.

As he handed it over, he explained, “This is the list of all the stores selling shoddy medicinal herbs in the market. I’ve recorded the amount of poor-quality medicinal herbs in each store.”

All the officials took a look at it…

They were surprised to see such a long list.

One after another, they called for help. Then, the three teams dispersed to monitor every pharmacy. Whoever dared to leave would be arrested!

At this time…

All the bystanders were so awed at this sight that no one could speak.

In a panic, everyone ran back to their stores. Some people closed their doors as soon as they got back. The police intended to stop them but were so shorthanded. Seeing this, people from the National Medical Products Administration and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau also came to help.

In an instant…

The whole traditional Chinese medicine market was in great upheaval!
