“Are you feeling guilty?” Song Hua reached out to hold the owner’s hand.

Song Hua was going to sweep the whole thing under the rug and let it go, but she never expected that the owner would try to force her to buy these drugs.

How could she tolerate this?

Although Song Hua detected the owner’s lie, the owner did not back down, “How am I feeling guilty? You know what? I have been selling drugs for more than ten years. I have never sold false drugs before and I never lie. It is okay that you don’t want to buy my drugs, but you cannot say that there’s something wrong with them. All right. I am gonna give you a pass. Just go!”

Song Hua curled up the corners of her lips. Then, she put her hand on the owner’s hand, took out her phone, and made a transfer.

The owner got a message saying that he received 50 dollars on PayPal.

No one expected Song Hua to do this, not even the owner.

What was she doing? Didn’t she say that she didn’t want the drugs?

Could it be that she was afraid?

Why would she pay otherwise?

The owner thought Song Hua must be scared.

Since Song Hua already paid for the drugs, the owner thought he might as well let her go.

Thinking of this, the owner withdrew his hand.

Song Hua picked up the drugs and dialed a number. “Hello, is this Administration for Market Regulation? Someone is selling false drugs at No. 195, Forestry Road.”

It turned out that Song Hua wanted to accuse the owner of selling false drugs. No wonder she paid for the drugs.

Administration for Market Regulation had a rule that one would not only suffer economic losses but also had to close the store and be criminally responsible for selling false drugs.

“Hey! Let’s slow down here, okay?” The owner was really anxious.

He did a lot of things like this in the past and never got caught. Song Hua looked young and was probably still a high school student. The owner thought she was just an ignorant young woman, but he did not expect that she was hard-core.

Song Hua hung up the phone. “You should be punished for selling false drugs and deceiving customers.”

Seeing that Song Hua was not willing to compromise, the owner was vexed. He reached out to snatch the drugs.

The owner was tall and strong while Song Hua looked weak. How could she be a match for him?

When the onlookers saw that the owner was about to hit Song Hua, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and prepared to help.

However…

Before they could make a move, Song Hua already subdued the owner.

She gently pinched the owner’s hand that was coming toward her, and the owner was unable to move.

It seemed like Song Hua was only gently squeezing the owner’s hand, but only he knew how much strength she used.

The owner’s face turned pale from the pain and he had an ugly look.

The owner looked up at Song Hua, and his eyes were full of fear. He did not understand how such a young girl could be so strong.

When the onlookers saw how amazing Song Hua was, they applauded and cheered.

People from Administration for Market Regulation came very quickly.

After a thorough investigation, they found that the owner did not only disguise safflower as saffron but also kept many other false drugs in the storeroom.

“Miss, thank you for what you did today.” A staff member from Administration for Market Regulation stood in front of Song Hua. It was hard to imagine that such a slender young woman could fight against a burly man without any help, “This is your compensation.”

Song Hua took the cash with both hands. “Thank you.”

“You deserve this,” the staff member replied.

After the matter was settled, Song Hua walked out of the pharmacy.

Little did she know that a man in a suit saw everything that happened.

The man lit a cigarette, stared at Song Hua’s back with interest, and squinted his eyes.

He looked handsome and gentle.

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

The smoke rings gradually covered the man’s face.

Song Hua walked around the drug market and learned a lot. In the end, she stopped in front of a drug store that looked very old.

There were three words written on the plaque.

The name of the store was “Herbal Drug Store”.

The owner of the store was getting medication for another customer. He said, “Mr. Cheng, you asked for three grams of Lithospermum purpurocaeruleum, two grams of borneol, one gram of Rubia cordifolia, one gram of Potassium alum, and three grams of Angelica dahurica.”

As Song Hua heard this prescription, she felt that it was a little familiar and said, “This is to remove scars, right?”

“Are you studying medicine?” The owner asked with a smile.

“I know a little about it.” Song Hua continued, “However, if you change Rubia cordifolia and Potassium alum to Salvia miltiorrhiza and Tree Peony Bark, the prescription’s effect of removing scars will be better. Using Rubia cordifolia and Potassium alum will not help to remove scars. Instead, it will cause ulceration.”

The person who came to buy the medicine was an influential middle-aged man, Cheng Yuang. He came to buy the medicine in person for his niece.

Hearing this, Cheng Yuang looked at Song Hua. “Young lady, don’t talk nonsense. Do you know who wrote this prescription?”

Without waiting for Song Hua to speak, Cheng Yuang continued, “The person who wrote this prescription is Doctor Wu. You don’t know who Doctor Wu is, right?”

Cheng Yuang thought,

Song Hua looked away from Cheng Yuang. “Well, believe it or not.”

Cheng Yuang looked at Song Hua and said meaningfully, “Young lady, don’t be too full of yourself. You have to walk the walk.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yuang took the medicine from the owner and turned around to leave.

The owner watched Cheng Yuang leave and said to Song Hua, “Young lady, do you know who Doctor Wu is?”

“I don’t know.” Song Hua said in a clear and cold voice, “However, there is indeed something wrong with his prescription.”

The owner looked Song Hua up and down.

In the owner’s eyes, it was true that Song Hua was very beautiful, but she was too young and too naive.

Young people were always hot-blooded. They had not seen much of the world and could do nothing but talk.

The owner continued, “Doctor Wu is the student of Bian Que and also a famous doctor in River City. Doctor Wu has even been on television several times. Do you still think that there is something wrong with Doctor Wu’s prescription now?”

“No one is perfect, so it is not a surprise that the student of Bian Que makes mistakes.” Song Hua’s tone was indifferent.

Not only did the owner think that Song Hua was too young, but he also thought that she was a little childish.

However, it was normal for young people to be childish. The owner was too lazy to argue with Song Hua, so he asked with a smile, “Young lady, what do you want to buy?”

Song Hua told the owner her prescription.

“80 dollars.” The owner handed the medicine to Song Hua.

“Thank you.” Song Hua took the medicine with one hand and gave the money to the owner with the other.

“You’re welcome.” The owner took the cash from Song Hua and said with a smile, “There are very few people using cash nowadays, so I don’t have any change. Young lady, give me your PayPal account. I’ll transfer the extra money to you.”

Hucon had long entered the digital era. Hence, everyone used their mobile phones to pay for things they bought. For those who opened stores, they could barely see anyone paying in cash now.

“Okay.” Song Hua nodded slightly and took out her phone to note down the owner’s account.

After leaving the drug market, Song Hua had only 80 dollars left.

Other than the medicine that was used to help her body rejuvenate, she also bought some other medicine.

One of Song Hua’s hobbies was to make various pills, including skin-lightening pills, pills that were used to make spots seem less visible, scar-removing pills, and various pills that could be used to prevent or treat diseases.

…

At the Shangguan family’s residence.

Cheng Yuang hurriedly walked into Shangguan Ying’s room. “Ying, I got the medicine in Doctor Wu’s prescription. Don’t worry. You’ll be fine after taking these medications.”

Hearing this, Cheng Lin immediately raised her head and asked, “Did you buy the medicine yourself?”

Appearance was quite important to girls. If someone else bought the medicine, Cheng Lin would not feel comfortable letting Shangguan Ying take it.

Cheng Yuang nodded. “Of course! Ying is my niece. How can I not go in person?”

“Thank you.” Cheng Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she turned to look at her daughter lying on the bed and comforted Shangguan Ying with a smile. “Ying, did you hear what your uncle said? The scar on your face will soon heal.”

Shangguan Ying’s face was injured in a car accident half a month ago.

At that time, Shangguan Ying’s life was not at risk, but the injury on her face was quite serious. Broken glasses pierced into her bones. The doctor said that Shangguan Ying’s face would be disfigured, and she would have a scar no matter what.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ying fainted on the spot.

The Shangguan family got the contact information of Doctor Wu after trying hard. Then, they spent a lot of money to invite Doctor Wu to take a look at Shangguan Ying and Doctor Wu gave them a prescription.

“Mom, is it true that my scar will heal?” Shangguan Ying was a little worried.

“Of course.” Cheng Lin nodded. “Don’t you believe in Doctor Wu?”

Thinking of Doctor Wu’s reputation, Shangguan Ying’s eyes lit up. “Get someone to boil the medicine. I would like to drink it as soon as possible.”

“I’ve already asked someone to boil it.” Thinking of what happened at the drug store today, Cheng Yuang couldn’t help but say, “Today, I met a young lady in the pharmacy who was about the same age as Ying. The young lady questioned the medical skills of Doctor Wu and acted like she knew everything. If I were her father, I would definitely educate her.”
