Chapter 235 Feng Xuexin Is Kidnapped!
Feng Xuexin left.
With one less pair of hands, Fang Qiu had to transcribe prescriptions and measure medicine at the same time.
Because all the sick people in the town had come to see the doctor in the past few days, the clinic was rather quiet that morning. There were still patients every now and then but it was nothing like several days ago.
At first, Fang Qiu couldn’t locate medicine. Later, he became faster and faster, reaching everything with ease.
Each medicine’s appearance left a vivid impression in his head.
Two hours pa.s.sed.
They finished all the patients for the morning.
Finally, the two had a rare break.
“Hmm?”
Taking a look outside, Xu Miaolin looked confused and asked, “What is taking Xiao Feng so long? He left at eight and now it is ten. Shouldn’t two hours be enough for his love confession?”
“I bet he got it this time.”
Fang Qiu laughed, “Otherwise, he would have returned long ago. Now it’s set and he will take her out for a meal and maybe do some shopping together to cultivate their relations.h.i.+p. Don’t you think so?”
“That’s right.”
Xu Miaolin nodded and stepped towards the consultation desk. “I hope Xiao Feng can grab this opportunity. It’s time for him to get married.”
After, he sat down by the table.
At that very moment.
“Pitter-patter…”
There came a rush of footsteps.
Looking up, Fang Qiu saw a familiar figure running fast towards them.
Fang Qiu knew this man, a relative of one of the 13 poisoned patients.
“Bad news! Bad news!”
As soon as he entered the clinic, the man shouted at Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin. “Two divine doctors, run quickly before it’s too late.”
“What’s the matter?”
Fang Qiu went up and asked with a frown.
He felt slightly worried.
“It’s Doctor Feng. He’s kidnapped. Those men who have seized him are coming here. They swore they would smash the clinic. Run quickly. Once they get here, you will have no chance of escaping.”
The man urged hurriedly.
“What?”
Upon hearing the news, Xu Miaolin suddenly changed his face and asked, “You mean… Xiao Feng is kidnapped?”
“Slow down. What exactly happened? Tell me everything.”
Fang Qiu said hurriedly.
He knew Xu Miaolin was worried.
After all, Feng Xuexin was the son of his pa.s.sed friend.
The man glanced down the street outside the clinic, finding nothing unusual, and then said at once, “Here’s the thing.”
“Today Dr. Feng took the woman of a mafia chief in this area. The chief is no pushover. As soon as he heard of Dr. Feng’s love confession, he kidnapped him out of anger. I happened to pa.s.s by and saw everything.”
“That’s all. I’m just here to let you know that you’ve got to run and I’d better go now.”
Once he finished, he urged a few more times before taking his leave.
Xu Miaolin’s face looked awful.
Fang Qiu had some cold beam in his eyes.
Just now, they were making fun of Feng Xuexin’s love confession. Who would have seen this big deal coming in the blink of an eye?
At that moment, seven or eight fierce-looking st.u.r.dy men rushed into the clinic.
Their arms were covered by tattoos.
Two of them each carried a steel pipe.
“Smash it!” Shouted the man in the lead.
The group was about to wreck the clinic without an explanation.
“Stop it!
Fang Qiu said coldly, “Who dares break one item here won’t be able to stay on his feet!”
After he said that, the group of men stopped at once.
Not out of fear but as if they had heard some great joke, they looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.
Hah!
After being a bully for so many years, they had finally encountered a tough one.
A young kid!
“Young man, you are rather bold!”
The man in the lead cast a playful glance at Fang Qiu and lifted one leg, kicking a stool away.
“Clang!”
“I just kicked. Not only the stool, but I’m also going for the medicine cabinet after. Then it will be the plaque. What can you…”
Before he could finish, Fang Qiu sneered as he moved quickly to the strong man. He threw a punch with his right arm and the man flew straight out after a loud bang.
Upon seeing this, the others were stunned.
Then they shouted at once, “d.a.m.n! You started first! Beat him up!”
They charged at fang Qiu with their steel rods as if they wanted to eat him alive.
“Watch out!”
Xu Miaolin was very concerned.
The next moment, he was dumbfounded.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
There was a continuous sound of falling.
Within a few seconds, all of them were knocked to the ground by Fang Qiu.
Ordinary bullies V.S. a guru martial artist?
They were courting death.
The group of seven or eight fell to the ground, struggling, groaning, unable to get up.
“This…”
Xu Miaolin looked at the people on the ground in shock.
He did not expect the gentlemanly-looking Fang Qiu to be so fierce!
He alone fought a gang of seven or eight and won with ease?
Although shocked, he had no time to think.
The rescue was their priority.
He said to Fang Qiu, “I’m going to call an old friend of mine. He’s got some power here. Let’s see if he can work something out and get Xiao Feng released.”
He dialed the number right after.
In the end, the friend was shocked by the matter.
“This mafia head is pretty powerful in our region, a kung fu master. Back then no one dared to mess with him. How did Xiao Feng get into trouble with him?”
From the other end of the line came a voice dignified and serious.
“I have no clue. You know that we can’t let anything happen to Xiao Feng or I won’t be able to explain it to my old mate. You must do your best to deal with this and ensure Xiao Feng’s safety.”
Xu Miaolin sighed.
“Okay. I’ll see what I can do.”
The call ended.
Xu Miaolin turned around.
He saw Fang Qiu lift up the big man in charge.
“Who sent you?” asked Fang Qiu frankly.
“Humph!”
The burly man snorted before replying. “Don’t overestimate yourself. My boss is much stronger. You’ll suffer.”
“I’m asking who sent you here!”
As he asked, Fang Qiu moved his hands from the burly man’s collar to his shoulders and squeezed with force suddenly.
“Ouch…”
The burly man yelled at once.
Not to mention Fang Qiu, if an ordinary man squeezed the shoulder, the pain and discomfort were already hard to bear. How could the big guy stand Fang Qiu’s immense force?
“I answer! I will say it.”
The burly man surrendered within seconds.
“Who is it?”
Fang Qiu released his hands as he asked.
“It’s our boss, Xiang Yifei,” answered the big guy.
“Why did you come here to smash the clinic?”
Fang Qiu continued to inquire.
“Because… Because…”
The big man hesitated.
“Say it!”
Fang Qiu’s face became grimmer and his voice lowered.
Upon hearing that, the burly man was terrified. He answered quickly, “Our boss got his eyes on a kindergarten teacher yesterday. He confessed his love but she didn’t accept it. In the end, he revealed his ident.i.ty but she stuck to the refusal. We wanted to hold her against her will but our boss decided to woo her romantically. He sent a few minions to gather information on the woman and they reported today that a young fellow went to her with flowers and a guitar. He was accepted after a love song.”
“Our boss was p.i.s.sed off by the news, feeling his woman was s.n.a.t.c.hed away. He sent our men to have that young fellow kidnapped.”
“Later, we found out that his name was Feng Xuexin and this clinic was his. Our boss was still so mad that he sent us to pound it down.”
As he was telling all this, he looked up at Fang Qiu with a bitter face and said, “But unexpectedly, we came across you here. If we knew here was a master, we wouldn’t have the b.a.l.l.s to mess around here.”
Until then, Fang Qiu finally figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
Xiaoxin didn’t take someone’s girlfriend. It was completely an accident.
“What did you do to him after the kidnapping?” asked Xu Miaolin hurriedly.
“I have no idea.”
The big man shook his head as he continued, “However, whoever annoyed our boss would at least get a few kicks and punches. Maybe some kind of physical disability.”
His voice became lower and lower.
Fang Qiu’s expression became grim as he asked, “Where is he now?”
“I don’t know.”
The big man shook his head.
Fang Qiu raised his brows and exerted force at once.
“Ouch… Ah!”
The big man cried out in pain, his face flus.h.i.+ng and tears running down.
“I don’t know it even if you kill me with pain. I really don’t know.”
A wailing cry of pain came from the big man’s mouth.
It seemed that he really didn’t know.
Fang Qiu loosened his grip.
At this point, this big man would have told him everything if he was aware of it. He really had no idea.
“Make a phone call and ask. Find out where he is or I’ll make sure the pain stays with you for a whole year!” said Fang Qiu coldly.
Hearing that, the big man dared not delay.
He took out his mobile and made a call immediately.
He asked around but no one knew the answer.
Faced by Fang Qiu’s murderous eyes, the big guy was close to tears.
“Brother, I really don’t know. Please pardon me.”
“Ask more!”
Fang Qiu’s voice had no trace of emotion.
Just then…
Xu Miaolin’s mobile rang.
“h.e.l.low, how did it go?”
Xu Miaolin answered at once knowing it was from his old friend.
“No chance. I’ve done my best, close to getting ugly. However, this Xiang Yifei refused to release him no matter what I said. He demanded a one million ransom and a promise to leave the town for good.”
The voice from the other end of the line sounded helpless.
“What?”
Xu Miaolin was outraged by the news. “He’s not living in a lawless world! I’ll call the police if there are no other ways.”
“Don’t”
The man on the other end vetoed at once. “This Xiang Yifei is known for his ruthlessness. Once the police are involved, I don’t know what he might do. Even if he doesn’t kill the hostage, what if he disables him? I have calmed him down. We should try to end it. Don’t make more trouble.”
Xu Miaolin fell silent.
After a long pause, he clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll pay the ransom. Tell Xiang Yifei not to harm Xiao Feng.”
“I’ll swallow the offense for now. Saving Xiao Feng is more important.”
“I’ll make sure Xiao Feng’s safety.”
The voice from the other end of the line sounded helpless.
“Set a time for me to pay the ransom and free Xiao Feng.”
Xu Miaolin asked.
“Wait for my call.”
Then the man on the other end hung up.
After a short time, Xu Miaolin’s mobile rang again.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Xu Miaolin immediately picked it up.
“Xiang Yifei asked for either one million or the Feng family’s clinic before 8 pm today.”
At this moment, the man on the other end hesitated for a minute before adding, “I’m afraid this Xiang Yifei is interested in the clinic for its perfect location. This accident might not be an accident after all.”
“Fine. 8 pm tonight.”
Xu Miaolin answered.
“The location is not set yet. Once he informs me, I’ll call you immediately.”
He hung up.
“Ask them to get lost.”
Xu Miaolin pointed at the group of seven or eight big men and shouted with a darkened face.
Hearing that, Fang Qiu moved swiftly. Instead of following Xu Miaolin’s order to kick these men out, he quickly hit each of them at the back of their head and knocked them all out.
