    “Are you feeling guilty?” Vi Thompson reached out and held the Boss’s hand.


    Vi wanted to let things go and didn’t bother to argue with the Boss, but unexpectedly, the Boss tried to force a sale.


    How could she endure this?


    Even though Vi exposed him directly, the Boss still pretended to be strong, “How am I feeling guilty! Let me tell you, I’ve been in business for more than a decade and never sold fakes! I didn’t scam people either! It’s you who said you don’t want to buy! You’re a funny girl. First, you found fault and didn’t want to buy, and now you say there’s a problem with my medicine! Today, I’m unlucky, so I won’t bother to argue with you.”


    Vi slightly curled her lips, holding the Boss’s hand with one hand, and took out her phone to scan the QR code on the wall.


    Ding!


    Paypal received *320!


    Nobody expected Vi to make the payment at this time, not even the Boss.


    What was she doing? Wasn’t she not buying it?


    Did she get scared?


    Otherwise, how could she make the payment!


    Yes, it must be so.


    Since Vi had already paid, the Boss decided not to argue with her anymore.


    With this in mind, the Boss withdrew his hand.


    Vi picked up the medicine bag and dialed a number. “Hello, is this the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? There’s someone selling fake medicine at 195 Forestry Road.”


    Fake medicine!


    So Vi was nning to report the crime. No wonder she made the payment.


    ording to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau’s regtions, selling fake medicines not only requires a tenfoldpensation for the fakes but also leads to closing the store and taking criminal responsibility.


    “Youngdy! Let’s talk nicely, let’s talk nicely!” The Boss was really worried now.


    He had done many such things before, but never made any mistake. Vi looked young, maybe still in high school, and seemed easy to bully. But she turned out to be formidable.


    Vi hung up the phone, “You deserve to be punished for selling fake medicine and cheating consumers! ”


    Seeing that Vi wouldn’tpromise, the Boss was enraged and reached out to grab the medicine.


    The Boss was tall and strong, and Vi was slender. How could shepete with him?


    Onlookers, seeing the Boss about to hit someone, immediately rolled up their sleeves to help.


    But…


    Before they could make a move, Vi defeated her foe in one move.


    All she did was lightly pinch the hand that the Boss had swung at her, rendering him unable to move.


    Though it appeared to be a gentle pinch, only the Boss knew how much force she had used.


    The Boss’s face turned pale from pain, and his features contorted together.


    Looking at Vi again, his eyes were filled with lingering fear. He didn’t understand where such a young girl had gained this strength! Seeing how powerful Vi was, the onlookers apuded.


    The Industrial and Commercial Bureau arrived quickly.


    After close inspection, they not only discovered that the Boss usually used false saffron as genuine saffron but also found many fake medicines in the storeroom.


    “Youngrade, thank you for today.” The staff member stood in front of Vi, finding it hard to imagine that a slender girl like her could stand up to a brutish man without anyone’s help. “This is the tenfoldpensation for the fake medicine.


    Vi took the cash with both hands. “Thank you.”


    “It’s what you deserve.”


    After the matter was settled, Vi walked out of the pharmacy.


    Leaving without a trace, her achievements and name hidden.


    Little did she know, this scene was witnessed by a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes.


    The man lit a cigarette, stared intently at Vi’s retreating figure with interest, his eyes slightly narrowed.


    His facial features were handsome, and his demeanor was gentle as jade.


    It had been a long time since he had seen such an interesting person.


    The cigarette smoke grew thicker, hiding the man’s features.


    Vi wandered through the herbal medicine market, stopping asionally and reaping a good harvest until she finally stopped in front of an antique-looking pharmacy.


    Three big characters were written on the que.


    Herbs Pavilion.


    The shop owner was preparing medicine for another customer, checking the list: “Mr. Wilson, three grams of lithospermum, two grams of borneol, one gram each of rubia and alum, and three grams each of angelica dahurica and gallnut… “Hearing this prescription, Vi Thompson felt somewhat familiar and said subconsciously, “This is a medicine for removing knife scars and hard scars. ”


    “Is the youngdy also studying medicine?” The owner of the pharmacy smiled and asked.


    “I know a little about it.” Vi continued, “However, if you rece the madder in this prescription with one gram each of salvia miltiorrhiza and red peony root, the scar-removal effect would be better. Using madder and alum would not only have no inhibitory effect on such scars but also cause ulceration.”


    The person who came to buy the medicine was a middle-aged man with thest name Wilson, a high-ranking public figure. He came to buy the medicine personally for his niece.


    Hearing this, Angus Wilson looked at Vi Thompson, his gazeplicated.


    “Youngdy, don’t pretend to know if you don’t! Do you know who prescribed


    Without waiting for Vi to speak, Angus continued, “The one who prescribed this is Old Doctor Bruce! I bet you don’t even know who Old Doctor Bruce is, do you?”


    Young people nowadays are so impetuous! They think they know everything after learning medicine for just a few days!


    It’s ridiculous that she dares to question Old Doctor Bruce.


    Vi nced over, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”


    Angus Wilson looked at Vi with a meaningful expression, “Youngdy, don’t try to run before you can crawl. One should be down-to-earth and steady!”


    After that, the middle-aged man took the medicine handed to him by the


    owner and left.


    The owner watched the man leave and said to Vi, “Do you know who Old Doctor Bruce is?”


    “I don’t know.” Vi’s tone was light, “But there is indeed a problem with his prescription.”


    The owner sized up Vi.


    She was very beautiful and enchanting.


    But she was too young.


    Young people are impetuous and haven’t experienced much. They only know how to talk big.


    Continuing, the owner said, “Old Doctor Bruce is a descendant of Bian Que and a famous divine doctor in River City! He has even been on TV! Do you still think there’s something wrong with his prescription?”


    “No one’s perfect. Even Confucius made mistakes, let alone a descendant of Bian Que?” Vi said calmly.


    The owner now thought Vi wasn’t just young but also a bit naive.


    However, it was normal for young people to be naive. He didn’t bother to argue with her and asked with a smile, “What medicine will the youngdy buy?”


    Vi listed her prescription.


    “510.” The owner handed her the prepared medicine.


    “Thank you.” Vi took the medicine with one hand and handed over the money with the other.


    “You’re wee.” The owner received the 600 yuan in cash from Vi andughed, “Not many people use cash now. I don’t have change. How about we add each other on WhatsApp and I’ll transfer the remaining money to you?”


    In Sinian Country, people have entered the digital age, and everyone uses their mobile phones for payment. For business owners like them, they sometimes go ten days without encountering a customer who pays in cash.


    “Okay.” Vi nodded slightly, took out her mobile phone, and added the boss’s WhatsApp.


    After leaving the market, Vi only had 500 yuan left out of her original 3200 yuan.


    Apart from the Chinese medicine for her recuperation, she also bought some other medicinal materials.


    Vi also enjoyed researching various medicine pills.


    Whitening pills, spot-fading pills, scar-removal pills, and various pills for preventing or treating diseases.


    Bet n’s residence.


    Angus Wilson hurriedly entered Edith Bet’s room. “Edith, I’ve already bought the medicine prescribed by Old Doctor Bruce! Don’t worry, everything will be fine after you take Old Doctor Bruce’s medicine!”


    Hearing this, Linda Wilson immediately looked up and asked, “Did you buy it yourself?”


    As it concerned her lifelong appearance, Linda didn’t trust others to buy it on her behalf.


    Angus nodded, “Of course! Edith is my dear niece. How could I not go personally?”


    “That’s good.” Linda sighed in relief, looking at her daughter who was lying on the bed, andforted her with a smile, “Edith, did you hear what your uncle said? Your scar will be gone soon!”


    The scar on Edith’s face was left after a car ident half a month ago.


    She had barely sustained any injuries at the time, but her face had been damaged severely. ss shards had pierced straight into her bones, and doctors had warned that it could lead to disfigurement. Even if she underwent reconstructive surgeryter, there would still be a scar.


    Upon hearing this, Edith fainted on the spot.


    After much effort, the Bet family managed to find Old Doctor Bruce’s contact information and invited him for a consultation at a high price. After the consultation, Old Doctor Bruce left a prescription.


    “Mom, will my face really be okay?” Edith was worried.


    “Of course!” Linda nodded, “Don’t you trust Old Doctor Bruce?”


    Recalling Old Doctor Bruce’s reputation, hope flickered in Edith’s eyes. “Then have someone prepare the medicine quickly! I want to drink it right away!”


    “The kitchen is already preparing it!” Remembering his encounter at the pharmacy, Angus couldn’t help saying, “Today at the pharmacy, I met a young girl about Edith’s age. With just a bit of knowledge under her belt, she had the audacity to question Old Doctor Bruce’s medical skills.. She’s just like a newborn calf not fearing the tiger! If I were her father, I would teach her a lesson!”
