Ten thousand yuan a day!
"Li Li, hold him down and make him drink!"
Ye Tianci instructed Li Li, the young shop assistant who had just been slapped by Lu Zhanyuan.
Li Li popped out excitedly, "You got it!"
He stepped forward, grabbed Lu Zhanyuan tightly by the neck, and shoved his head forcefully into the swill bucket!
*Glug!*
*Glug!*
Unable to breathe, Lu Zhanyuan was forced to open his mouth as the greasy, foul-smelling dishwashing wastewater poured endlessly into his throat!
After he had gulped down seven or eight mouthfuls, Li Li pulled his head up to let him catch his breath, then shoved him back into the bucket.
Jia Dachun shouted angrily from the side, "Let go of Divine Doctor Lu right now!"
"Let me tell you, I've already notified the enforcement officers of the Medicine Alliance!"
"The leaders of our All-Seas Medicine Alliance will be here with the enforcement team any second now!"
"If you dare to humiliate Divine Doctor Lu any further, I'll make sure you all pay dearly!"
No sooner had his voice fallen than a black Audi A8 drove up and came to a halt.
The door opened, and Guan Mingtang stepped out, followed by several enforcement officers.
Jia Dachun jogged forward, his expression a mixture of fawning and grievance.
"Director Guan, you're finally here. You have to seek justice for me!"
Jia Dachun currently looked very much like a bullied lapdog trying to please its master.
"Jia Dachun, how did you end up in such a state?"
"Why is there a stench coming from your mouth? What did you eat?"
Guan Mingtang frowned and stepped away from him, looking utterly disgusted.
Jia Dachun pointed at Ye Tianci. "Director Guan, it's all because of this little bastard that I ended up with a mouthful of dog feces."
"Not only did he hit me, humiliate me, and maliciously obstruct my official duties, but he also humiliated Divine Doctor Lu!"
Jia Dachun pointed again at Lu Zhanyuan.
By this time, Lu Zhanyuan had filled his stomach with swill and was kneeling off to the side, vomiting violently.
With his master present, Jia Dachun straightened his back.
He thrust out his beer belly more imposingly and shouted belligerently at Ye Tianci, "You little bastard, see this? This is Vice President Guan of the Shucheng All-Seas Medicine Alliance, and also the head of the Shucheng Bureau of Medicine, Director Guan!"
"Now that Director Guan is here, why aren't you kneeling down to apologize to me?"
Jia Dachun looked majestic and triumphant, beaming with delight.
Guan Mingtang glanced at the gloomy-faced Ye Tianci and asked Jia Dachun, "Did you just curse at this gentleman?"
"That's right, this punk is just a little bastard!"
Jia Dachun happily cursed again, completely failing to notice the tone in Guan Mingtang's voice.
*Thud!*
The moment Jia Dachun finished cursing, Guan Mingtang sent him flying with a kick.
"Ouch!"
Jia Dachun soared through the air.
As luck would have it, Little Black—the dog—had just deposited a fresh, steaming pile of dog feces.
Jia Dachun landed face-first right into it!
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Little Black barked fiercely at Jia Dachun, as if scolding: *You even try to snatch the dog shit I just dumped? Are you afraid you won't get any while it's fresh?*
Jia Dachun let out a bizarre screech as he scrambled up, wiping his hands across his face, which was now entirely covered in fresh dog feces.
The stench was unbearable!
The surrounding onlookers hurriedly stepped back, thoroughly revolted.
Jia Dachun wiped the dog feces from his face with his sleeve and cried out tearfully, "Director Guan, you hit the wrong person! You shouldn't have hit me."
"I hit you, you dog! How dare you curse my Brother Ye? How many heads do you think you have?!"
With that, Guan Mingtang walked up to Ye Tianci and said, "Brother Ye, since this Jia Dachun dared to offend you, feel free to deal with him however you like! Even killing him is fine! I've got your back!"
Hearing this, Jia Dachun's eyes widened in horror.
He never dreamed that Guan Mingtang would hold Ye Tianci in such high esteem!
He finally realized that today, he and Lu Zhanyuan had been manipulated by others into offending someone they never should have crossed!
Worse still, they had kicked a massive iron plate!
Terrified out of his wits, Jia Dachun's legs turned to jelly. With a loud thud, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly to Ye Tianci. "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry!"
"I know I was wrong. Please, spare me!"
"Give me a reason to spare you," Ye Tianci said coldly.
Jia Dachun's eyes darted around, and he pointed at Lu Zhanyuan. "It was him! He bewitched me and told me to seal up Huarentang. I... I'm innocent!"
He shifted all the blame entirely onto Lu Zhanyuan.
Ye Tianci's voice grew even colder. "People like you, who blow with the wind and betray their accomplices the moment things go south, are the most despicable!"
"Didn't you just say you'd make us pay dearly?"
"Good! Go and eat that pile of dog feces the little black dog just left."
Jia Dachun stared blankly, his eyes wide. "Huh?"
"Huh what? My Brother Ye told you to eat dog feces, so go eat it!" Guan Mingtang commanded.
"Can I not eat it? As long as I don't have to eat dog feces, I'll do anything!"
Jia Dachun knelt on the ground, weeping and pleading.
Ye Tianci sneered and shook his head.
Guan Mingtang looked at Ye Tianci's expression and snapped angrily, "Jia Dachun, if you dare disobey my Brother Ye, I'll have your entire family driven out of Shucheng!"
Jia Dachun was scared out of his wits; Guan Mingtang undoubtedly had the capability to do just that!
Daring not plead anymore, and with his legs still too weak to support him, he had no choice but to crawl forward like a dog.
Kneeling and crawling on the ground with his rear end in the air, Jia Dachun began taking bite after bite of the steaming, fresh dog feces on the ground.
"Oh! Director Jia is eating dog feces!"
"He was so majestic just a moment ago, but now he's eating dog feces with such relish!"
"Why aren't you sealing Huarentang anymore?"
"Serves you right!"
...
The surrounding crowd jeered and mocked.
Jia Dachun wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Even if he managed to stay in Shucheng, he would never be able to show his face in public again!
Ye Tianci spoke up coldly from the side, "Director Guan, your Director Jia here was putting on quite an official display just now—not only did he invalidate Huarentang's permits, but he also slandered it as a shady establishment."
"If such a person isn't purged, wouldn't he be a hazard to both the All-Seas Medicine Alliance and the Shucheng Bureau of Medicine?"
Guan Mingtang nodded repeatedly. "Brother Ye is entirely right. He must be dealt with!"
"Jia Dachun, starting from now, you are expelled from the All-Seas Medicine Alliance! Get lost!"
Having just finished eating dog feces, Jia Dachun turned ashen upon hearing Guan Mingtang's words, collapsing onto the ground and vomiting endlessly.
Disgusted, the surrounding crowd backed far away.
Guan Mingtang waved his hand in revulsion, and two of his subordinates dragged Jia Dachun away like a dead dog.
Lu Zhanyuan and the gang of thugs he had brought tried to quietly crawl away and slip off, but they were stopped dead in their tracks by Ye Tianci's cold shout: "Before I give you permission to leave, whoever dares to sneak off will have both legs broken by me!"
"You already broke one of my legs! What, what else do you want?" Lu Zhanyuan asked tearfully.
Ye Tianci turned to Xue Huaisu. "Divine Doctor Xue, I can consider the matter you mentioned earlier."
"Really? That's wonderful!" Xue Huaisu was overjoyed.
"By the way, isn't the septic tank at your Huarentang due for cleaning?" Ye Tianci asked with a faint smile.
Xue Huaisu froze for a second before the realization hit him. He nodded quickly. "That's right, it hasn't been cleaned in several years. Not only does it need cleaning, it needs to be dug out further."
A charming, wicked curve played at the corners of Ye Tianci's mouth. "Divine Doctor Lu, take your men and thoroughly clean out Huarentang's septic tank."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you'll need to dig it deeper as well."
"You leave only when the job is done. Anyone who dares to sneak away will have their legs broken just like this blue brick!"
*Crack!*
Ye Tianci stomped down on a nearby blue brick, shattering the thick stone into countless pieces instantly!
Everyone present was shaken to their core!
Terrifying! Oh, absolutely terrifying!
"By the way, working here doesn't come with a salary. You'll have to pay for your own meals and lodging."
"It's not much—just ten thousand yuan a day!" Ye Tianci added with a mischievous grin.
Lu Zhanyuan and all the thugs burst into tears. Ten thousand yuan a day!
What extortion!
