Medical Master

Chapter 1353 Using Us As Tools!

Fang Qiu left Jiaxiang County.

Soon, he arrived at the next province.

Because He Xue had informed the staff beforehand, all the employees in the various sites knew Fang Qiu would be driving the truck across the country. These people had been waiting long before his arrival.

Just like the previous cultivation bases, the one here was made up of two mountains.

Those indigenous medicinal herbs should always be planted and grown in their authentic sites.

Therefore, when these people inspected the leased lands, they would choose the mountains that had the best soil, water source, and environment to grow their herbs. One mountain would be used for artificial planting. Meanwhile, the seeds of the local medicinal herbs would be spread on another mountain for them to grow freely there.

Frankly…

The medicinal herbs that grew freely in the wild were the so-called indigenous medicinal herbs.

However, the output of such medicinal herbs was so low that they could only be planted in passing.

Following his phone navigation, Fang Qiu drove to a small village. At the village entrance, he saw the staff of Renyi Group.

Under the guidance of the staff…

Fang Qiu drove through the village and headed for the rented mountain that was a short distance away. The cultivation base for medicinal herbs on the mountain was almost completed. The cultivation had begun.

However, the seeds of the wild medicinal herbs had not been sowed yet.

They arrived at the foot of the mountain.

A yellow muddy road had been cleared. Thus, his truck could go directly into the cultivation base with the medicinal herbs. But at the foot of the mountain, the road was blocked by a group of locals.

In the driver’s seat…

Fang Qiu could clearly see that this group was made up of more than 20 people. Half of them stood in the middle of the road, and a dozen were on both sides. Strangely, they held items like sticks, clubs, or bricks. They didn’t look like ordinary villagers but more like gangsters in the village.

When Fang Qiu saw so many people, he immediately got out of the truck. These Renyi Group members were about to go forward, but he asked them to stay behind him. Then, alone, he went up to these people.

“What are you doing here?”

Walking up to the group, Fang Qiu asked.

“What are you doing here?”

The leader who held a wooden stick as thick as an arm walked out from the crowd. Without saying a word, he raised the stick and pointed it at Fang Qiu’s head, and asked in a menacing tone.

“The Three Billion Foundation and the Renyi Group sent us to grow herbs on the mountain. Please make way for us.”

Fang Qiu spoke up.

“Hee, hee-hee.”

Opposite him, more than 20 people heard this. Immediately, they looked at each other and burst out laughing.

At the sight of this…

Fang Qiu knew this group was here to make trouble.

He wore no mask or hat now. Since they came here to block his way, someone must know who he was. How could they pretend not to know him?

“That’s right.”

The leader stepped forward and inserted the wooden stick into the ground. Holding the handle of the stick with both hands, he acted like a ringleader with his brash attitude. Then he threatened Fang Qiu with a sneer, “We are here to stop you. Listen carefully: you are in our territory and mountain. I don’t care who you are. No one is allowed to go up there when I am here!”

As soon as Fang Qiu heard that…

He turned around and looked at the staff sent by Renyi Group.

“This, this was an uncultivated mountain.”

An employee quickly ran up and took out a leasing contract from his briefcase. When he handed it to Fang Qiu, he said, “Look, we have signed the contract.”

Fang Qiu took it and had a look.

Sure enough…

This was a 70-year contract, that had been signed and sealed by the government!

“Did you hear that?”

After he read the contract, Fang Qiu looked up at the gang before him. Then, he raised the contract in his hand, and said, “If you didn’t hear it, take a closer look.”

“I can’t see it.”

The leader sneered disdainfully. As he reached out his hand to get it from Fang Qiu, he said, “Give it to me. Let me check through it carefully. Who dares to rent out our mountain?”

Fang Qiu was certainly not afraid of him.

He handed the contract to him without hesitation.

As a result…

The man just casually flipped through two pages. It was evident that he didn’t know how to read the contract at all. Afterward, he waved his hands and said, “What is this bullshit? It’s all forged!”

As he spoke, he was about to tear up the contract.

Quick as a flash…

Fang Qiu put out his right hand and grabbed the man’s right arm, his fingers exerting some force.

“Ah!”

A scream rang out.

Before the man could tear up the contract, he instantly loosened his grip on it because of the sharp pain in his wrist.

Fang Qiu had just gripped him in that manner.

He stretched out his left hand, took the contract from the man, and gave it back to the employee near him.

In the meantime…

“Boom…”

There was a roar of an engine.

They looked over.

A small and rather beat-up van drove over at full speed and stopped by the roadside.

“What? What are you doing?”

A sturdy middle-aged man jumped out of the van, walked up quickly, and said to the gang, “What the hell are you doing here?”

As he said that…

He turned to look back.

All of a sudden, he trembled.

“Fang, Fang Qiu?”

The middle-aged man asked in great surprise.

“Yes, I’m Fang Qiu.”

Fang Qiu nodded and asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m the Village Chief here. My surname is Dong.”

The middle-aged man quickly replied with a smile, “I didn’t know that you were coming. Why didn’t you tell us you were coming in person to our village? I would have sent a guide for you.”

“What’s going on?”

Fang Qiu asked as he pointed to the group of 20 people in front of him.

“I don’t know either.”

Village Chief Dong smiled wryly and gestured at the mountain, and said, “The two mountains had been left uncultivated for a long time, and no one managed them. These people like to hunt wild animals in the mountains. Since you have rented the mountains, they will be closed to them. But these people can’t accept the change.”

“Humph.”

As soon as Village Chief Dong finished speaking, the gang leader on the other side snorted. He squinted at Fang Qiu and shouted, “You can go into the mountain. Give us five hundred thousand yuan and we’ll consider the matter closed.”

Fang Qiu frowned immediately.

“Blackmail?

“These hooligans must be severely punished!”

Taking out his phone, Fang Qiu called the police without wasting any time.

When the gang leader saw this…

He immediately became anxious and reached over to grab Fang Qiu’s phone.

However…

“Pa!”

Before he could touch Fang Qiu’s phone, Fang Qiu raised his right foot and kicked him to the ground.

“Damn it, how dare you to touch me?”

The man was furious. He hurriedly stood up, waved his hand, and said, “Beat him up!”

In a flash…

Over 20 people rushed up with wooden sticks, ready to attack Fang Qiu.

“Call the police.”

Fang Qiu turned his head and said to the worker. He then rolled up his sleeves and walked up to the gang of more than 20 people with a cold expression.

Behind him…

The worker hastened to call the police in a panic.

The next moment…

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Sounds of people being beaten up echoed all around.

After a short while…

Fang Qiu knocked down more than 20 people.

This scene was not something they could see every day.

Village Chief Dong, who stood next to them, was stunned.

Only then did the staff of Renyi Group realize how powerful Fang Qiu was — he alone flattened more than 20 rogues.

Of course…

When he dealt with these gangsters, Fang Qiu didn’t use internal Qi. He knocked these people to the ground with some martial arts skills and rendered them totally weak. They could not retaliate against him.

The fight was over, and the police were called.

Not long after…

After the emergency call…

Some police officers from the local police station arrived.

“Village Chief Dong, you’re here too?”

When the police came over, they first greeted Village Chief Dong. Then they turned to Fang Qiu and the group of gangsters.

They were startled when they saw Fang Qiu.

But right at this moment…

“He hit us.”

The gang leader who was lying on the ground suddenly got up and clasped a police officer’s feet with both hands. He then pointed at Fang Qiu and said, “He beat us up; he struck us all, look at how badly we’ve been beaten!”

The police officers weighed up the situation.

Before them were all these injured people lying on the ground.

Fang Qiu and the others were still standing.

It seemed that it was really Fang Qiu who did it.

“Get up, all of you!”

The police officers glared at these gangsters and said, “Do you think I don’t know who you are? Humph, take them all back to the police station.”

After that, he pointed to Fang Qiu and the others and added, “Including them!”

“I’ll make a call.”

Fang Qiu knew this matter would be tricky. He instantly took out his phone to call He Xue. Then he told her what had happened.

After He Xue heard the whole story…

She immediately called the town government.

The contract had been signed with the town authorities. What mattered most here was that it was a contract to attract investment. The town government was eager for them to invest and build factories here.

As a result, as soon as the government heard this, they panicked.

Before long…

Near them, the police captain’s phone rang.

It was a call from the town government.

The call was connected.

The police captain’s face changed. As he glanced at the ruffians who had been severely beaten up, his face suddenly darkened.

“How bold they were that they thought they could blackmail and extort money from them?”

He hung up the phone.

The police captain pointed directly at the leader of the gang and ranted at them, “They worked so hard to help us to have a more comfortable life, but you came here and blocked their way and even wanted to extort money from them. This is a crime, and each of you will be sentenced to no less than three years!”

After his words…

Those people were terribly frightened.

They didn’t expect that their obstruction of the group would cause such big trouble. Would they be thrown in jail?

“We’re innocent. Someone incited us to make trouble. We didn’t do it on our own.”

In a panic, the gang leader got up and poured out their grievances.

“Who put you up to this?”

When he heard that, Fang Qiu asked.

“I don’t know.”

The ruffian leader said bitterly, “A few days ago, someone gave me some money. The money was left at the threshold of my house, so I didn’t see anyone. Anyway, I received 1,000 yuan every day for ten days. Under the money was a note with instructions to stir up trouble. If I did this, whether it worked or not, I would get 50,000 yuan. It was a large sum for me. That is why I did this.”

After he revealed this…

The twenty or so people who were with him fumed with anger.

“What the fuck!”

“Damn it, does he think we’re fools?”

“Why didn’t you tell us you were getting paid for this?”

“Using us as tools? I’ll beat you to death, you bastard!”

Everyone was enraged.

More than 20 people immediately rushed forward and besieged the gang leader.

When the police saw this…

They hurried forward to stop them for fear of any fatalities.

But even so, it took them a long time to pull these people away.
