Chapter 1249 — Bodyguard or Spy

"Young Master Zhao, please get this straight. We are here paying for treatment. The Medicine King treats us, and we have never said we would not pay. But these demands of yours, we cannot accept!" Sister Wang sternly rejected Zhao Qibing's proposal.

"Paying? You think money makes you great? Did you bother to ask who I, Zhao Qibing, am? A young master of the hidden Zhao family. What is money in my eyes? I have more than enough! Do not think that just because you have money I must treat you. This is not a hospital. If you think money is everything, go to a hospital. Here, money does not work!" Zhao Qibing sneered in anger: "Either keep me company, or leave. Choose for yourself!"

"You..." Xu Shilan trembled all over with rage, and at that moment her old headache flared up again. She clutched her temples, writhing in pain as if dying, cold sweat beading on her forehead...

"Xiaohan, what is wrong with you?" Sister Wang cried out in alarm and quickly seized Xu Shilan's hand.

"It is nothing... Sister Wang, it will pass in a while..." Xu Shilan panted heavily, gasping for breath.

"You are only suffering for nothing! You brought this on yourself! If you had agreed to my demands earlier, none of this would have happened?" Zhao Qibing sneered, looking as if he had Xu Shilan completely in his grasp.

"Sister Wang, let us go!" Xu Shilan gritted her teeth and stood up.

That was her nature, unyielding even unto death. The more you forced her, the less she would submit. Even if she died, she would never give in to you! If he had truly cured her illness and they had grown close, Xu Shilan might well have given herself to him, for people are creatures of feeling, and with time anything could happen.

But what Xu Shilan loathed most were men like this, arrogant in their merit and coercing others. She would rather die of pain than yield.

"Xiaohan..." Sister Wang hesitated, torn. They had finally found a famed doctor, only to have things come to this.

"Jiaonang, since they do not welcome us, show them out!" Zhao Qibing thought little of it in his heart. As long as he held the Medicine King as his trump card, he had no fear she would not take the bait! When her headache became unbearable, she would have to come begging at his door!

"Manager Wang, Miss Xu, this way, please!" Su Jiaonang rose to his feet and said coolly.

Meanwhile, everything that happened in the private room was heard loud and clear by the driver in the business van downstairs! Sister Wang still did not know that a listening device had been planted on her, inside her phone, and the one who planted it was the driver and assistant she knew best, Xu Shilan's bodyguard as well, Feng Sanhuang.

The name Feng Sanhuang sounded rather like a steward or servant in a great family, not very common. But it was only a name after all, and a strange one did no harm. What mattered was his excellent skill. These past years guarding Xu Shilan, he had been diligent and dutiful, which was why Sister Wang and Xu Shilan valued him so highly!

But no one would have thought that such a seemingly utterly loyal man would plant a listening device in Sister Wang's phone!

Listening to Zhao Qibing's words from the private room, a shadow crossed Feng Sanhuang's face. After a moment of hesitation, he dialed a phone number.

"Sanhuang? What is it?" The call was answered quickly, and a deep male voice came from the other end: "I hear Xiaohan is going to hold a concert in Songshan City? What is going on? Why do I know nothing about this?"

"Forgive me, Master. The concert came up suddenly, and I have not yet had time to call and report..." Feng Sanhuang hastened to explain: "Manager Wang only made the decision last night."

"Hmm? What happened? Why such a rush? Did something go wrong? Is the company pressuring Xiaohan?" The man called Master asked, his voice darkening.

"No, not that. As for President Zhang at the entertainment company, I have already had someone drop him a hint. He could not and would not dare force Miss." Feng Sanhuang said: "It is like this. They say there is a miracle doctor here in Songshan City, called Zhao Medicine King, who can cure Miss's headache. So to avoid attention, Manager Wang brought Miss here for treatment in secret, and that is why the concert is to be held in Songshan City!"

"So that is how it is!" Feng Sanhuang's master nodded: "Then how is it? Xiaohan's headache..."

"That Zhao Medicine King gave Miss some kind of pill, and Miss's headache was suppressed at once. It seems to have some effect. But the Medicine King's master, Zhao Qibing, is a lecher. He wants Miss to satisfy his private desires, or he will not let her be treated..." Feng Sanhuang said: "Master, shall I..."

"Zhao Qibing? Who is he?" Feng Sanhuang's master asked.

"Only an illegitimate son of a hidden house. I have already looked into him!" Feng Sanhuang said coolly.

Feng Sanhuang had been in Songshan City for only a morning, yet he had already traced Zhao Qibing's background. Although Zhao Qibing had revealed his identity at the banquet, he had said nothing about being an illegitimate son! That alone showed how vast Feng Sanhuang's intelligence network was!

"An illegitimate son of a hidden house? Of the hidden Zhao family?" Feng Sanhuang's master asked.

"Yes, exactly! And he dares to covet Miss..." Feng Sanhuang seemed to hold the hidden Zhao family in no regard at all.

"No need. A hidden house is nothing much, but I do not want your identity exposed just yet! At least not now!" Feng Sanhuang's master sighed: "Soon, soon! It will not be long. Once I take the seat of sect master, I will acknowledge Xiaohan. Then no one will dare do anything to Xiaohan!"

"Congratulations, Master!" Feng Sanhuang paused briefly, then said with some excitement. He knew his master had waited for this day, enduring in silence for so long! Once he truly sat in that seat, he would no longer fear pressure from the mistress's family!

"Mm, let us leave that aside for now. You need only protect Miss well! As for Xiaohan's headache, this Zhao Medicine King truly has a way? My doctors here can find nothing wrong... Do this. Do not let Xiaohan take medicine carelessly, and try to get hold of one of those pills from this Zhao Medicine King and bring it back for me to examine! Above all, let nothing go wrong!" Feng Sanhuang's master said.

"Yes! Master, understood!" Feng Sanhuang nodded in assent.

"Save me a ticket to the concert! Deliver it the old way as always!" Feng Sanhuang's master said: "By the way, is there any news of Xiaohan's mother?"
