Gu Feng left the room, and the Chu family members went about their own business, leaving Su Man'er alone in the living room, making her feel lost and helpless.

A hint of anger rose in Gu Feng's heart, but he remained expressionless on his face and said to Chu Hanzhong, "Director Chu, please take me home."

"Huh?" Director Chu didn't react for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Ran's illness... you can't cure it either?"

"If I can't even treat a small sore, do you have the nerve to practice medicine? I asked you to take me home to get my medicine." After saying that, Gu Feng glanced at Chu Hanliang and Chu Hansan, who were sitting and chatting carefree, and his brows immediately furrowed. "You two—don't you have anything to do?"

The two brothers glanced at Gu Feng, then looked at each other, and shook their heads together.

"If you have nothing to do, go prepare my consultation fee." Gu Feng said indifferently.

"Consultation fee?" The two looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. You have to pay for meals, and you have to pay for medical treatment. I already served you for free last time, so even if I were willing to do a loss-making deal again, you wouldn't feel comfortable doing it, would you?"

The three Chu brothers all paled upon hearing this.

Only then did they suddenly remember Gu Feng's strange and unbearable rule—it seemed that anyone who wanted to see him for treatment had to pay one hundred taels of gold.

Chu Hansan's heart leaped into his throat, and he asked tremblingly, "Then...how much?"

"How much?" Gu Feng glanced at him and said slowly, "This isn't the first time you've come to me. You should know my rules very well."

"Another... one hundred taels of gold?" The three members of the Chu family turned deathly pale.

One hundred taels of gold is worth more than one million.

In the dead of night, where are they supposed to find a place to gather supplies? Even if they wanted to rob a bank, they'd have to wait until it's open tomorrow morning.

Seeing the three faces turn deathly pale, Su Man'er felt a pang of pity and softly interjected, "Gu Feng, Chu Xinran is still your classmate, so... could we give her a discount?"

If it were any other woman, Gu Feng would probably have immediately retorted with, "What do you know? You're just being a woman."

But he both respected and loved Su Man'er, so how could he be so heartless? He immediately softened his tone: "Then, as you wish, sister..."

"I think we should just accept fifty taels, as a token, how about that?" Su Man'er said casually.

Fifty taels—that's several hundred thousand—but in her mouth it was just "a token gesture."

The three men from Chu and Han felt a chill creeping into their hearts.

Chu Xinran was no longer worth that much in Gu Feng's heart, but Su Man'er's reputation was invaluable to him. He nodded: "Whatever you say, sister."

Only now did Chu Han San and his companions finally realize the weight this woman held in Gu Feng's heart.

If they had known this would happen, they should have rushed to curry favor with Chu Xinran and try to build a relationship with her while Gu Feng was examining her inside.

If this woman could casually offer an even more insanely low price of 20% or 30% off, how much money could be saved?

But now... it's too late to say anything.

"Gu Feng, what medicine do you need? I'll go back and get it. I arranged all those medicines myself, so it'll be faster to find them," Su Man'er said.

Gu Feng thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Okay."

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the room had left.

When Gu Feng pushed open the door and entered the room again, he saw Chu Xinran still lying there, and couldn't help but pat her again. "Little girl, now you're all gone. If you want to shout, just shout as loud as you want."

Chu Xinran gasped in pain, and after recovering, she rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth: "You surnamed Gu! My uncle, my maternal uncle, and my mother may have offended you, but haven't they all learned their lesson through blood and tears? What about me? When did I ever offend you? What right do you have to treat me like this?"

"Hmph." Gu Feng snorted coldly, too lazy to even offer an explanation.

"What are you humming about? Even if you hate someone because of them, this excuse is too far-fetched! You were treating me the same way just a few days ago!" Chu Xinran's eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse with grievance.

"If you hadn't framed me first, would I have treated you like this?" Gu Feng said coldly.

"When did I ever hire someone to frame you? Don't make false accusations!" Chu Xinran was both wronged and angry.

"You know perfectly well what you've done," Gu Feng sneered.

"What did I do? Tell me!" Chu Xinran's voice shrilly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"That day at the hospital, the one who arranged for someone to frame me and harm me—wasn't that you?" Gu Feng stared intently at her.

"You're crazy! Nobody would have the time to frame you! Stop making baseless accusations, I didn't do it!" Chu Xinran denied it outright, her eyes filled with hatred and stubbornness.

Seeing the unwavering determination hidden within her resentment, Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that those people really weren't hired by Chu Xinran? But this woman is known for her acting skills; it's hard to say that her current innocent appearance is just another act.

Just as his thoughts were churning, he heard Chu Xinran speak with a cold laugh: "Gu, you're clearly a thief crying 'stop thief!' The truly insidious and ruthless one is probably yourself. Aren't you best at framing and slander?"

"Oh?" Gu Feng was taken aback by her words and asked suspiciously, "Then tell me, who did I frame?"

"Hmph, you know perfectly well what you've done! Even if you asked, I'd be too embarrassed to tell you!" Chu Xinran glared at him hatefully.

"Tch. You're shameless enough to be naked, what else could make you embarrassed?" Gu Feng usually doesn't insult people, but when he does, every word hits the nail on the head.

Just that one sentence almost made Miss Chu so angry that she vomited blood on the spot.

"Fine! Since you're so shameless, then let me ask you—wasn't it you who framed my mother, who caused her to be kidnapped by Chen Hongyin's gang, and who...bullied her? Dare to say it wasn't you?" Chu Xinran's voice trembled with anger as she pressed on with each question.

Gu Feng's face froze instantly, and after a long while, he guiltily argued, "In the end, this matter is not my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Chen Hongyin and his gang for being so shameless."

"The pot calling the kettle black, how much better are you than them?" Chu Xinran's eyes were red as she glared at him, thinking bitterly, "You bastard, just you wait, I'm not done with you yet."

"Okay, I admit I wasn't very kind in this matter. But that's just the kind of person I am—if someone treats me well, I'll repay them tenfold; but if anyone dares to bully me even an inch, I'll make them bleed five steps away! If you want to stand up for your mother, I won't stop you at all, but you'd better think about the consequences first."

Once Gu Feng's inner ferocity was aroused, he became terrifyingly cold.

A cold smile crept across his face as he deliberately added insult to injury, "Besides, didn't your mother publicly proclaim her unsatisfied sexually? Chen Hongyin may be lacking in substance, but at least he's young and strong..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Chu Xinran covered her ears tightly with both hands, feeling both ashamed and angry, her whole body trembling.

"She's not afraid of making a fool of herself, so why should I cover for her? Actually—from another perspective, she should thank me, at least those Chen Hongyin and his ilk—"

"You! You! You—"

Chu Xinran was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at him with a trembling finger, her face turned red, and even her neck turned red.

Just then, she suddenly felt an excruciating pain from the boil on her buttocks, so intense that her vision went black and she almost fainted.

She turned around in a panic, only to see that the sore had burst open on its own in the instant of her anger and frustration, and pus and blood were gushing out in gushes.
