Chapter 744: Rather than Picking a Date, It's Better to Rely on Luck
"I am the Sect Leader of Shennong Sect, and also the boss here." Ye Guichen made no attempt to hide his identity, and directly revealed it.
The middle-aged man had evidently heard of Ye Guichen. When he heard Ye Guichen's name, there was a flash of fear in his eyes, but then he seemed to remember something, and immediately shouted, "Kid, I don't care who you are! Since you want to open a medicine hall in Jinling, you must follow the rules of our Chinese Medicine Association. I know you used some tricks to take over the Nandu Martial Arts Hall, but being able to fight doesn't solve the problem. All patients have sharp eyes, and we are responsible for them. As long as you don't meet the requirements to open a medicine hall for one day, we won't let you open it for one day. Otherwise, it would be maliciously risking lives to make money!"
His words sounded righteous, causing many people around to applaud.
Mai Gu was so angry that he stomped his feet, "You're talking nonsense! Just because we don't renovate according to your rules means we're maliciously risking lives to make money? Do you dare say that Fang Wushang's medical skills are better than mine? If he's capable, let him come and compete with me. Stop fooling people! I'm telling you right now, not only will we open, but we'll open tomorrow! Let's see what you will do!"
The middle-aged man sneered, "Great, if you have the guts, then open."
After speaking, he turned to Ye Guichen, "Please step aside. We've said what we needed to say. If you insist on going ahead and any accidents happen, don't blame us for being rude."
Ye Guichen looked coldly at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man dared not meet Ye Guichen's gaze, quickly shifting his eyes away, and threatened, "I'm warning you, we are from the Chinese Medicine Association. If anything happens here, you can't afford the responsibility. Many people are watching here today, their eyes are sharp. If you dare to act, see if anyone dares to come here for treatment."
Mai Gu was so angry he was about to argue again, but Ye Guichen stopped him, "Master Mai, enough. We'll deal with this later."
Then, Ye Guichen fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man, "Go back and tell Fang Wushang, if he's capable, he can make sure Shennong Sect never rises again. But I say this, if Shennong Sect gets a chance to breathe, there won't be any Chinese Medicine Association in Jinling anymore; it will all belong to Shennong Hall. And I tell you, whether it's schemes or plots, let them come, if he dares!"
After finishing, not wanting to hear any more arguments, Ye Guichen ordered directly, "Ironhand, see the guests out! If these dogs dare step into our place again, it's your fault!"
Ironhand, who had been tending to the martial arts and medicine hall with Shang Wen Dong, knew that Ye Guichen was deliberately speaking loudly for the Chinese Medicine Association members to hear. He quickly nodded, "Boss Ye, don't worry."
Without saying much, Ironhand grabbed the Chinese Medicine Association member by the collar, took two quick steps outside, and threw him out.
The other Chinese Medicine Association members were scared and stepped back, not expecting Ye Guichen to actually let his subordinates take action.
They cursed as they quickly ran out, helping the middle-aged man up with resentful looks on their faces as they left.
After everyone had left, Mai Gu's face was red with anger, cursing continuously.
Ye Guichen walked up to Mai Gu, "Master Mai, getting angry harms your health. You saw it, they came here looking for trouble, no matter what you say, they won't let us off."
Mai Gu was still indignant, "Sect Leader, what should we do? We can open the Shennong Sect, but you heard them, they won't give up easily. If they play some tricks and kill someone on our opening day, it will be a mess."
The medicine hall's top priority is to save lives.
If a patient dies, no matter how good the medical skills, they will be blamed, and no one will dare to come for treatment.
Without patients, Shennong Sect's rise would have no hope.
Ye Guichen naturally thought of this possibility, his eyes flashed with ferocity, but he quickly reassured, "Master Mai, don't you have confidence in your medical skills? If they dare play tricks on us, we'll counter their moves. I don't believe that a small Chinese Medicine Association can compete with us. Besides, if they dare make a move, we'll strike them down, taking the opportunity to revive Shennong Sect. As I just said, if they play tricks, we'll devour the Chinese Medicine Association. In the future, Jinling will only have Shennong Hall. Imagine that scene!"
Ye Guichen's words roused Mai Gu's spirits, making him excited, "If that happens, Master can finally rest in peace."
Suddenly remembering something, Mai Gu quickly said, "By the way, wasn't Fang Wushang the turtle-like President of the Chinese Medicine Association who always hid? He suddenly sent people to cause trouble today, does he have some backing?"
Ye Guichen nodded, "It's very likely, but we don't know who yet. If you plan to open tomorrow, then let's open. The place is almost renovated anyway. If they have anyone backing them, let them come."
"Good! No need to delay!" Mai Gu slapped his thigh, "Then we'll open tomorrow. I'll call Brother Su right now and have him come overnight. We'll make a grand opening tomorrow; let's see what the Chinese Medicine Association dares to do!"
Since they decided to open tomorrow, there were undoubtedly many things to busy themselves with.
All afternoon, Ye Guichen shuttled between the martial arts and medicine halls, checking for any overlooked details.
To open grandly, they had to appear strong.
Now there's money, and Ye Guichen wasn't short of money; earning money was secondary. The important thing was to revive Shennong Sect and let others recognize Shennong Sect again.
The recruitment for the medicine hall had already started when the renovation began.
Though Mai Gu was passionate about reviving Shennong Sect, he couldn't be there every day.
Previously, he recruited an in-house Chinese medicine doctor, but after today's commotion, the doctor sensed trouble and resigned.
Recruiting again wouldn't be easy.
For the martial arts hall, Ye Guichen had no worries.
Since making peace with Zuo Chunqiu, Ye Guichen didn't hesitate to call Zuo Chunqiu for help to find more people for a grand opening tomorrow.
Upon hearing Ye Guichen's martial arts hall was opening, Zuo Chunqiu agreed readily.
Busy until around six in the evening, Ye Guichen finally took a breather and remembered Chen Ziran was coming by. He took out his phone to call her.
Unexpectedly, just as he took out his phone, an incoming call showed.
Ma Xiaoling's panicked voice came through, "Mr. Chen has been attacked."
