"Liu Kang is actually a good guy." The man on the right suddenly changed his tone, "Maybe it's the boss's problem... Little brother, what's the matter? Let's go in and talk. I see there are quite a few of you."

"Yes, yes." Gu Yue smiled and nodded, and followed the man into the store. It was enough to get the idea, and he didn't really have to start cricketing Liu Kang.

When they arrived at the dental clinic, the man who looked like the boss found a private room and invited Gu Yue to go in alone.

The two of them sat down inside the house.

"You want to know something?" the boss asked with a smile.

"Brother, you are really smart." Gu Yue exclaimed, "How did you know?"

"Liu Kang has been bullying people for several years, relying on his connections with the government. There are people everywhere in Pinghu Town who dislike him," said the boss with a smile.

The boss asked, "But you look a little unfamiliar, are you from out of town?"

"That's right. I heard there was a job here that could make quick money, so I came all the way here, but... " Gu Yue stopped talking halfway.

"What? You were also deceived by Liu Kang? Then how did you get out?" The boss was very surprised. "According to my observation, the workers who were called into Liu Kang's dental shop have never been seen in Pinghu Town again."

"We felt something was wrong halfway through, so we fled together." Gu Yue said, "...He started to plunder the workers' belongings halfway through, and everyone was exploited. We decided that this was not a good place to go, so..."

This paragraph was written by Gu Yue based on Zhou Xiuyu's description.

The boss said, "It's almost certain that you will be taken to the mine near Horseshoe Mountain."

"Oh? Liu Kang only said that it was a physical job but didn't say what it was exactly... Does this brother know anything about it?" Gu Yue took out one or two taels of silver.

You could have given him more, but his character is that of an employee, and if he took too much, people would be suspicious.

The boss confiscated his money and pushed it back: "That's not necessary. Brother, listen to my advice. If you don't have any background, it's best not to confront Liu Kang head-on..."

Gu Yue looked hesitant, but he seemed to have made up his mind: "That man took away all our money. I wanted to come back and report to the authorities, but we also saw what happened in the county government today, so I wanted to investigate it myself. You better tell me, how can we go back without the money?"

The boss shook his head, sighed, and poured himself a cup of tea.

After a while, he said, "Don't take risks! We have survived by banding together. You are lucky today that you didn't end up in Liu Kang's other gangs."

The boss said, "I don't want to see you die in vain, but the money is probably gone. So, I'll introduce you to a few jobs that should be able to earn some back."

This person did not give Gu Yue a chance to speak. He stood up and took out a booklet from the bookshelf on the side of the small room: "Let me see. There is a job worth 100 taels of silver that can be done, but it requires medical skills. Let me see something else..."

One hundred taels of silver? Medical skills?

Gu Yue's eyes lit up: "What kind of job is this that requires medical skills?"

The boss looked up at him and asked, "Do you know medical skills?"

"We have someone who can." Gu Yue said.

No, no, now is not the time to think about making money! Gu Yue suddenly came to his senses. Why is he so obsessed with money recently?

"This is a private commission from the owner of Lu's fabric shop. He wants to treat his wife." The boss said, "It's a hidden disease, it's not good to spread it widely, and we don't want locals... If you have someone who knows medical skills, you can give it a try."

Lu's Fabric Shop?

Gu Yue suddenly felt that it sounded familiar.

"Who is this Lu?" he asked.

"You don't know, Lu's is the largest cloth shop here. Not only does it trade with the Hu people, but it can also often get precious satin from Jiangnan. The nobles in the surrounding area all wear their fabrics." The boss said, "But recently, it seems that he gave up most of his business for his wife's medical treatment. It is said that he also sold several shops in good locations in Ganzhou City..."

He sighed, "I never knew how much love Mr. Lu had for his wife before. It's true that a person's true character is revealed in times of adversity."

Gu Yue suddenly remembered that this was the fabric store that Feilan had mentioned.

"When did his wife fall ill?" Gu Yue asked, "We do have someone who knows medical skills, but he is a man, so will it be inconvenient?"

"About half a year ago." The boss waved his hand. "It is said that he was already terminally ill... How could he care about the difference between men and women?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask." Gu Yue was about to leave. "By the way, do you know what the disease is?"

"It seems to be a cold and heat poisoning, but it didn't say anything specific." The boss was very happy.

This is a high-paying job and they get high commissions.

Gu Yue went out and found Gu Xu and the other two sitting in the room. He pulled him aside and whispered, "I didn't ask about Liu Kang, but the boss mentioned a fabric shop..."

He told the story again: "He fell ill half a year ago, but he was very secretive when he sought medical treatment and even sold many shops for this. I think it's a bit suspicious."

Without exception, all drug addicts in the world today have lost their fortunes in order to buy drugs.

"It just so happens that we have some ready-made Wuye, why don't we go and take a look?" Gu Yue said.

Wuye rolled his eyes. What do you mean by ready-made Wuye?

Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "There is no news from Wu Yan and the others yet, and Liu Kang should not be alarmed... so let's go."

"Maybe we will gain something." Seeing this, Gu Yue gained a little more confidence.

……

After telling the boss of the dental clinic about their decision, the boss sent someone to Lu's house to inform him of the matter.

About half an hour later, the person who reported came back and told them to go to Lu's house to meet Master Lu immediately.

"So fast?" Gu Yue felt doubtful.

Normally, he should examine them, choose a day to visit them again, and maybe even examine their medical skills again. But why is Mr. Lu so anxious?

But it’s not a big problem. They have two capable fighters. I don’t know what level Wuye is at, but since he can be an undercover, his skills should be pretty good.

Led by the boss of the pawnshop, the four of them sneaked to the back door of Lu's house.

After entering the small corner gate, the servant who led the way closed the door and said apologetically, "I am really sorry, my master does not want people to know... We cannot welcome you through the main gate, it is our fault."

"No problem." Wuye waved his hand. He was the protagonist of this trip.

The luxury houses in the Northwest are different from those in the Central Plains. There are almost no green plants in the courtyards, and the buildings are simple and elegant, but there is an inexplicable sense of desolation.

The group arrived at the main hall, where a woman with her hair tied up in a bun was sitting in the main seat, her face a little pale.

"This is Madam Zhou," said the servant.

Everyone came forward to greet and take their seats.

"Who is the doctor?" Mrs. Zhou said without a word of courtesy, and there was a hint of anxiety in her words.
