My wife is a reborn big boss

Chapter 88 The Lurker

At the same time that the two reached an agreement.

In the council hall of Medicine King Valley, everyone gathered together in joy.

"I've been prescribing medicine for three or four decades now, and today I've finally cured a patient!"

"Wow, that's something to celebrate! By the way, you didn't mention you're from Medicine King Valley, did you?"

"No, I said I'm from the Jishizong sect, haha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Old Xu, you're doing pretty well lately. I heard you landed another big deal?"

"Hey! Don't even mention it!"

"What's wrong?"

"Someone came to me wanting to buy my newly developed medicine for treating typhoid fever. I told him it was a new drug and I was worried someone might die from it, but after hearing that, he bought out my entire stock, and I couldn't stop him!"

"Huh? Why is that?"

"He said he bought it for his enemy, hoping it would kill him immediately after he ate it..."

"..."

"Master Yao, your business has been doing quite well lately! But aren't you supposed to be following a poor man's route? How come you're making so much money?"

"I sold each prescription medicine for ten times the price."

"Huh? Our valley only tripled in value, yours is ten times more..."

"Ordinary people don't earn money easily. If I don't raise prices, am I even human?"

"this......"

"The poor work hard their whole lives to save up that little bit of money, I'll work myself to death to earn it! You think I can ease their burden? No way!"

"..."

"What are you so surprised about? Have you forgotten the rules of our valley that have been in place for hundreds of years? What's the point if we don't make money off the common people!"

Watching the elders below excitedly discussing how to make money, Valley Master Duan Feihong's eyes twitched. He had waited for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it any longer:

"Stop! Stop! Stop! You're all elders of Medicine King Valley, how come you're acting like street vendors! Can't you act like proper disciples of a reputable sect?!"

Everyone remained silent, embarrassed.

Duan Feihong glanced around and, seeing that everyone had arrived, said, "The reason I called everyone here today is not for anything else, but to deal with the problem of the Jishi Sect."

Mo Deyan, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, asked, "What do you mean?"

"Although the martial prowess of the Jishi Sect's high-level members is roughly equal to that of this valley, their lower-level combat strength is insufficient. We ignored them in the past only out of consideration for our former fellow disciples. But now they dare to covet the 'Entangling Heart Glazed Core'—they're courting death! I've decided that tonight at Hai hour (21:00 PM - 22:59 PM), we will launch a surprise attack on the Jishi Sect's headquarters!"

"This...is too hasty!" Mo Deyan frowned and said, "It's already the hour of You (17:00-18:59 PM), and the disciples in the valley have too little time to prepare. I don't agree."

"Even you couldn't have imagined it, let alone the enemy. This is how we caught them off guard." Seeing that Mo Deyan was still about to argue, Duan Feihong frowned and said, "No need to say anything more! My mind is made up. Everyone, go and prepare!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Master Mo, this..." Elder Yao asked cautiously.

Mo Deyan waved his hand impatiently: "Since the Valley Master has made up his mind, we will comply."

Having said that, Mo Deyan also got up and left:

"Alright, everyone go back and inform your respective disciples. Disperse."

The elders had no choice but to leave together.

.........

At the hour of Xu (19:00-20:59 PM), while the valley was in the midst of a tense mobilization, the elders gathered in the council hall.

Elder Xu said angrily, "Valley Master, you were the one who said we should launch a surprise attack on the Jishi Sect's headquarters! Everyone is busy organizing manpower, what are you calling everyone here for?"

"Don't be in such a hurry, Elder Xu." Duan Feihong said calmly, "I thought about it again and again after I got back, and I felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate, so I called everyone here, mainly to hear everyone's opinions."

"This was never a good idea!" Elder Xu's eyes widened in anger. "How can you make a decision on a whim! What if we get ambushed? Valley Master, you should really think this through."

"Yeah yeah."

"Valley Master, Old Xu is right!"

"Why should doctors fight? Isn't it better to just earn money honestly?"

The crowd chimed in with their own opinions, each offering a different perspective, but all sharing the same sentiment: they disagreed with his decision.

Duan Feihong sighed: "Alright, alright, it was my oversight. Let's just drop this matter."

"The Valley Master is wise!"

"The Valley Master is incredibly powerful!"

"Alright, alright." Duan Feihong waved his hand to stop everyone from flattering him: "Although what you said is true, you can just keep it in your hearts. There's no need to say it out loud, lest others think you're just sucking up to me."

The elders were speechless with emotion.

We're just flattering you...

"Oh, right," Duan Feihong said, as if remembering something, "Everyone's here, but I feel like someone's missing?"

"..." The old doctor was speechless: "That's right, there are only a few people missing. Elder Mo, who is usually the closest to you, Valley Master, is not here, but everyone else is here."

"Oh?" Duan Feihong's eyes flickered. "Old Mo didn't come? Does anyone know where he is?"

The group looked at each other and shook their heads.

Elder Xu said, "After we dispersed earlier, I saw him leave in a hurry. He must have gone back to the Criminal Hall to gather people. Maybe we didn't notify him just now."

"Is that so..." Duan Feihong turned to Elder Yao and shifted the blame: "Elder Yao, you're responsible for informing all the elders. I said to inform all the elders, didn't you inform Old Mo?"

"Valley Master, don't talk nonsense. I'm not taking the blame for this." Yao Lao said irritably, "I went to the Criminal Investigation Department, but Elder Mo wasn't there. I asked the disciples of the Criminal Investigation Department, and they said that Elder Mo only told them to prepare, and then left in a hurry. As for where Elder Mo went... they don't know either."

"I see." Duan Feihong smiled. "I misunderstood Yao Lao. Old Mo may have been held up by something. We don't need to worry about him. We can notify him later."

He looked around at the elders and said calmly, "Everyone, please go back and let your disciples disperse. It was my oversight, and I apologize to you all."

"Valley Master, you're too kind." Elder Yao bowed slightly, then stood up. "Then we'll head back. I'll go to the Criminal Hall again to inform Elder Mo to cancel tonight's plans."

"Okay." Duan Feihong nodded. "By the way, if Elder Yao sees Old Mo later, please have him come to me. I have some things to tell him."

The old doctor nodded and left with the others.

Behind him, Duan Feihong's eyes flickered, his face displaying a half-smile, as if he were deep in thought.

Meanwhile, within the Jishizong sect.

"Old Mo, you rushed here at the risk of being exposed, is there something urgent?" Inside the secret room, Yu Zecheng, the sect leader of the Jishi Sect, whispered.

Sitting opposite him was a man in black, none other than Mo Deyan, the head of the Criminal Division of Medicine King Valley.

He lowered his voice and said, "Tonight at Hai hour (9-11 PM), Medicine King Valley will attack this place. I have come to inform the sect leader so that he may make preparations as soon as possible!"
