Chapter 24 Loving Fame and Fortune

As for Shang Wende's return, he had been a bit worried that the matter wouldn't be discovered by him. Unexpectedly, Shang Wende came back in time, which was simply like having divine help.

Hearing Shang Wende's question, Liu Huan smiled and said, "Master, I was afraid that the White Ginseng would get damp, so I put it all in the box below. I'll bring it up right away!"

Liu Huan quickly ran over and nimbly put the White Ginseng into the medicine box. Then he walked aside and secretly rejoiced in his heart. This time, I'm afraid that kid Lu Feng is in big trouble. He's probably going to be kicked out by Master.

When Lu Feng saw the White Ginseng that Liu Huan took out, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. Only then did he realize that he had indeed taken the wrong medicine. Cold Wood Ginseng and White Ginseng were indeed different.

But he clearly took it out from the medicine box labeled with White Ginseng. How could it have turned into Cold Wood Ginseng?

He was very sure that he took it out from the cabinet labeled with White Ginseng. There couldn't be a mistake. But there was indeed a mistake. Unless...

Unless someone had put the Cold Wood Ginseng into the medicine box labeled with White Ginseng before!

Lu Feng immediately turned his gaze to Liu Huan. It was Liu Huan's responsibility to put the medicine in the cabinet. And if there was a mistake, it must be Liu Huan who put it in the wrong place!

There was Cold Wood Ginseng in the White Ginseng medicine cabinet with the same weight as the White Ginseng needed for Uncle Meng's medicine. Uncle Meng came at this time every week...

A series of things quickly connected in Lu Feng's mind. In an instant, he seemed to understand something. He looked at Liu Huan with angry eyes and found that he wasn't looking at him. Lu Feng's eyes instantly turned cold.

It was Liu Huan who instigated him to break Shang Wende's favorite tea set yesterday, and later he didn't remember Liu Huan coughing! And today it was Liu Huan who asked him to get the medicine!

Everything is related to you, Liu Huan. We have quite a connection!

Lu Feng was already certain in his heart that he had been framed, and the person who framed him was Liu Huan. Unless all of this was just a coincidence, but could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Absolutely not!

Liu Huan, you want to drive me away, don't you? I'm just going to stay here and show you!

The moment Lu Feng turned his head, Liu Huan had already noticed. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly averted his gaze.

He felt that Lu Feng had discovered something. This thought made his heart pound and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Shang Wende prepared the medicine for the old man again. After carefully packaging it, he handed it to the old man and said, "Brother Meng, I'm really sorry today. Another day, I'll prepare a table full of delicious dishes, and the two of us can have a good drink together."

The old man smiled and said indifferently, "It's okay. Since nothing bad happened, don't scold that kid anymore! After all, he's new here and doesn't understand these things yet. We've settled this matter. Another day, you come to my place, and I'll treat you to a drink. If it weren't for your care these past few years, I'm afraid I would have gone with my old woman already. All right, I won't hold you up. I'm going home now to decoct the medicine for my wife."

"Wait a moment."

Liu Huan suddenly called out, "Uncle Meng, you haven't paid yet!"

Uncle Meng slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing it, and smiled bitterly, "Oh, I'm getting old, and my memory is really bad. If it weren't for Xiao Liu's reminder, I would have really forgotten about this today. Here, this is the money for the medicine."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of scattered money from his pocket.

Just as Liu Huan was about to reach out to take it, Shang Wende angrily pushed aside Liu Huan's arm and said apologetically, "Brother Meng, my disciple is ignorant. Please forgive him! With what happened today, how could we still charge you for the medicine? Let it go this time. Hurry up and go home. Sister-in-law is waiting for you to take care of her!"

The old man surnamed Meng stubbornly shook his head and forcefully stuffed the money into Shang Wende's hand, smiling, "It's okay. I still have the money to buy medicine. And my daughter sends back a lot of money from abroad every month, which is enough for the two of us old folks to spend. You take it. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, the old man quickly walked towards the door of the medical clinic.

"Old Meng, remember, keep this money to buy yourself some wine!"

Shang Wende shouted at Uncle Meng's back.

"Got it. I'll be waiting for you to come over."

Uncle Meng waved his hand behind him and soon disappeared around the corner.

Shang Wende kept watching until the old man's back disappeared. Then he turned his head and looked at Liu Huan with a stern face. He was completely disappointed in this disciple. Having followed him for two years, the disciple had learned a lot, but he was too snobbish and didn't understand the ways of the world at all! Just like today's matter, it's already good enough that the other party didn't accuse you of attempted murder, and you still asked for money from him? What's more, the old couple, the Mengs, are not easy either. They are all neighbors. Can't you just do them a favor?

Sighing secretly in his heart, he knew very well that his disciple was narrow-minded and cared too much about money, fame, and fortune. Sooner or later, he would ruin the signboard of "medical ethics", and these things would harm him.

There was one more thing. Today's matter was very strange. Just because he was old didn't mean he was muddle-headed. Previously, Lu Feng had said that he took the medicine from the medicine box labeled with White Ginseng. But why was it Cold Wood Ginseng that was taken out? Even after Lu Feng weighed it for the old man, there wasn't even a bit of White Ginseng left in the White Ginseng medicine box. Could this be a coincidence?

Shang Wende only had some ideas about this matter in his heart.

When Liu Huan saw his master staring at him with a stern face, he immediately felt a bit flustered. Had he said something wrong just now? Isn't it only natural to get paid for the medicine?

Liu Huan didn't think he had done anything wrong, but why was his master staring at him?

"Liu Huan, remember what your master said. Fame, fortune, and money are things that can harm people. Don't care too much about them. A doctor should have the heart of a parent. Medical knowledge can't be measured by money. In the future, you should stop doing things with the thought of making money from treating patients. If you want to make money, then don't study medicine. You won't be able to learn anything too profound, and you'll just be wasting your own ambition. I've said all I need to say. You figure it out for yourself."

After saying that, Shang Wende looked at Lu Feng and said sternly, "You come with me to the inner hall!"

Lu Feng was very nervous in his heart. Although he had been framed, he had no evidence and couldn't explain it at all. Now he could only leave it to fate. He still remembered that Shang Wende had said last time that if he made a mistake again, he would be kicked out directly.

It seemed that he really had to leave this time...

Lu Feng sighed in his heart and followed with a disappointed mood.

In the hall, anger flashed in Liu Huan's eyes. His two fists were tightly clenched, and the veins on his arms were bulging.

For the first time, he felt resentment towards Shang Wende.

What's wrong with making money from treating patients? What era is this? Who doesn't want to earn some money with their skills and live a more comfortable life?

An old stubborn. Besides his excellent medical skills, he's just an old-fashioned and inflexible old stubborn!

What made him the angriest was that Shang Wende actually scolded him in front of Lu Feng, not giving him any face at all. So what if I like money, fame, and fortune? After you drive Lu Feng away, all of your medical skills will be mine. You say I'm greedy for money and profit. Fine, I'll pretend for you. I'll learn the skills first!

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Liu Huan's lips.

When he entered the inner hall, the situation was completely different from what Lu Feng had expected. Shang Wende just angrily scolded him and then drove him out of the inner hall.

When Lu Feng came out, his mind was still a bit dazed. He couldn't believe that Shang Wende had let him off so easily.

Could he continue to stay here?

Lu Feng asked himself in his heart with some disbelief. Everything was like a dream.

At this time, Liu Huan had already recovered from his anger. He had clearly heard Shang Wende's angry roar in the inner room. He had been so sure that Lu Feng would be fired, but Shang Wende had just given Lu Feng a scolding and showed no intention of firing him at all!

This made Liu Huan's resentment towards Shang Wende even deeper and strengthened his determination to get rid of Lu Feng.

Lu Feng, you were lucky this time. You won't have such good luck next time!

With a smile on his face, Liu Huan strode up to him and said with great concern, "Lu Feng, are you okay? Don't be angry. Our master is just like that. If his disciples make a mistake, he will definitely get very angry. In fact, Master has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. He cares about us in his heart. You'll get used to it. It's all my fault this time. I shouldn't have asked you to start getting the medicine for patients so early. I saw that Master thought so highly of you, so I wanted you to get familiar with traditional Chinese medicine earlier, which is why I asked you to get the medicine. I didn't expect it to backfire."

Looking at Liu Huan's apologetic face, Lu Feng smiled and gently shook his head, saying, "It's okay, Senior Brother. You don't have to say anything. In fact, I understand very well in my heart. I will never forget your kindness to me for the rest of my life. Sooner or later, I need to gain some experience. You learn from your mistakes, right?"

Lu Feng's words had a double meaning. In his heart, he secretly guarded against this two-faced Liu Huan. The person in front of him talked better than he sang, but which of these incidents wasn't because of him?

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should also not be without the means to guard against others. But now that he was being bullied, he couldn't just let himself be bullied like this! When dealing with enemies, one should give them a devastating blow, not only destroying their bodies but also their souls!

Lu Feng naturally knew how to feign friendliness.

When Liu Huan heard Lu Feng's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lu Feng didn't suspect him. He had asked that question just to find out about this.

Since that was the case, he could continue to deal with Lu Feng!

Only one of him and Lu Feng could stay, and it had to be him!

Patting Lu Feng on the shoulder, Liu Huan comforted him a few words and then walked to the medicine cabinet beside him. He put the herbal medicines from the lower medicine cabinet into the square medicine boxes one by one according to their names.

Looking at Liu Huan's busy back, a fierce look flashed in Lu Feng's eyes.

The afternoon passed quickly. On his way home just after getting off work, Lu Feng received another call from Lei Heng:

"Hello, Lu Feng. This is Lei Heng."

Lu Feng frowned slightly and asked, "All right, what's the matter this time you called?"

"I'm calling to remind you that we'll be waiting for you on time for the challenge next Saturday night."

Lei Heng's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
