The young man with short hair’s angry shout froze the smile on Li Zhengxi’s face, while Li Minghan was even more furious.
“How dare you speak like that? Do you know who you’re facing?” Li Minghan shouted angrily at the young man.
“Who is he?” The young man glanced at Li Zhengxi with a sideways look.
“He’s my father!” Li Minghan said loudly.
The young man burst into laughter. “And do you know who I am? I’m your grandfather!”
Damn it—
Li Minghan was enraged. “Kid, you’re from the embassy, aren’t you?”
“Let me tell you, you’ve messed up. Big time.”
“Apologise to my father immediately, or I’ll make you pay a heavy price!”
The young man looked at Li Minghan as if he were an idiot and said, “Who told you I’m from the embassy?”
Li Minghan was stunned. “You’re not from the embassy?”
The young man sneered. “Use your brain. Your Korea is so poor, could the embassy afford a limited-edition Rolls-Royce?”
Li Minghan asked, puzzled, “Then who are you?”
“My name is Han Long,” the young man said.
Han Long?
Li Minghan was completely baffled. He’d never heard of this name.
“I have nothing to do with your embassy. Get lost and don’t delay me from greeting my boss.”
Li Minghan was furious. “You dare speak to me in that tone? Do you know who we are?”
Han Long cursed, “I don’t care who you are. A good dog doesn’t block the way. Get lost now.”
Li Minghan said with a grim face, “Listen carefully, kid.”
“We are the Korean medical delegation, invited here to compete with Chinese traditional medicine.”
“My father, the man standing before you, is the current Korean Medical Sage.”
Oh?
This old man is the Korean Medical Sage?
Han Long glanced at Li Zhengxi, his expression shifting slightly.
Noticing Han Long’s reaction, Li Minghan thought he was scared and continued, “You’ve been utterly disrespectful to my father.”
“I advise you to apologise to him immediately.”
“Otherwise, I’ll report this matter to the embassy, and if it sparks a diplomatic dispute between our countries, you’ll be the sinner.”
Li Minghan’s words were laced with menace.
“You want me to apologise? Fine, but I’m afraid you can’t handle my apology.”
With that, Han Long raised his right hand.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the doors of over a hundred Mercedes-Benz cars opened simultaneously, and hundreds of men stepped out.
These men all had short hair, were of similar height, and were dressed identically.
Black suits, white shirts, black leather shoes.
They wore sunglasses.
They were burly, exuding a fierce aura.
Li Minghan could tell at a glance that these men were like the gangsters in Korea.
Han Long pointed at Li Minghan and said to the men in black, “Brothers, this guy wants me to apologise. What do you say?”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Hundreds of voices roared in unison, their momentum overwhelming.
Li Minghan’s face turned pale with fear, while the rest of the delegation was too terrified to make a sound.
“Do you still want my apology?”
Han Long glanced at the ashen-faced Li Minghan and shouted, “Get lost!”
Instinctively, Li Minghan pulled Li Zhengxi aside.
Then, Han Long walked towards the airport exit.
Li Minghan stared at Han Long’s back, gritting his teeth. “Hmph, I won’t let this go…”
Smack!
Before he could finish, a slap landed on his face.
Li Minghan looked at Li Zhengxi in shock. “Father, why did you hit me?”
“You idiot! You can’t even handle a small matter, making me lose face again. Damn it!”
Li Zhengxi was furious.
In Korea, he was a renowned Medical Sage, revered by thousands. Who would’ve thought that upon arriving in China today, he’d be humiliated repeatedly?
“Father, don’t let it ruin your health. This is my fault. I mistakenly thought he was from the embassy… Wait, why are they here?”
Li Minghan suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.
“Who’s here?” Li Zhengxi asked.
Li Minghan said, “China’s three top Medical Sages.”
“Oh?” Li Zhengxi turned his head and saw a Mercedes-Benz van pull up by the roadside. Three elderly men in long robes stepped out.
Li Chunfeng!
Nie Xueliang!
Zhang Jiuling!
The three Medical Sages were smiling as they walked towards Li Zhengxi and his group.
Li Zhengxi quietly asked Li Minghan, “They’re coming towards us. What do they want?”
Li Minghan glanced at Zhang Jiuling and the others, noticing their friendly smiles, and said, “Father, they’re probably here to greet you.”
“China is a land of etiquette. According to their traditions, they usually send people to welcome important international guests.”
“Since you’re the Korean Medical Sage and here to challenge Chinese medicine, it makes sense for them to send these three to greet you.”
Li Zhengxi nodded slightly, finding Li Minghan’s analysis reasonable, and a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, Zhang Jiuling and the others reached Li Zhengxi.
“Hello, I’m Li Zhengxi…”
Li Zhengxi introduced himself first, extending his right hand to shake Zhang Jiuling’s, but unexpectedly—
Zhang Jiuling ignored him, stepping past and brushing by.
Li Chunfeng and Nie Xueliang followed Zhang Jiuling, not even glancing at Li Zhengxi.
Li Zhengxi was as if invisible, completely ignored.
The most awkward part was that his hand was still extended in mid-air.
Instantly, the smile on Li Zhengxi’s face vanished, replaced by a look of anger.
Deliberate.
They must’ve done it on purpose!
Li Zhengxi clenched his fists, trembling with rage.
Li Minghan saw his father’s furious expression but didn’t dare offer comfort, fearing another slap from Li Zhengxi.
At that moment, a burst of laughter came from behind.
Already fuming, Li Zhengxi felt like someone was mocking him with this laughter and turned sharply.
The next second, he saw Zhang Jiuling and the others chatting and laughing with Ye Qiu, with Han Long by Ye Qiu’s side.
At that moment, Li Zhengxi seemed to realise something.
“Deliberate. This was absolutely deliberate. Those three old men and Han Long must’ve been arranged by Ye Qiu in advance.”
“His goal was to humiliate me.”
Li Zhengxi stared at Ye Qiu, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. “Ye Qiu, since you’re determined to cross me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“I’ll defeat you and make you take your own life in front of everyone.”
“That’s the price for offending me!”
