Zhou Jianye knelt on the ground.

His knee slammed into the tile with a dull thud.

At this moment, his eyes no longer held the resentment and arrogance they had shown before, but only deep fear.

He knelt on the ground, facing Luo Ying, his voice trembling.

"Young lady, I'm so sorry! I was blind and foolish; I was drunk and acted recklessly! Please forgive me this time!"

He slapped himself as he spoke.

clap, clap, clap...

One after another.

Everyone around was stunned.

The business owners who came with Liu Ming and his group stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

What's going on?

Zhou Jianye's friend stood by, wanting to pull him but not daring to.

The whispers of onlookers rose and fell in the distance.

"What kind of plot twist is this?"

"Weren't you just cursing? Why did you suddenly kneel down?"

"Who exactly are those young people?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not simple."

Luo Ying stared blankly at Zhou Jianye kneeling on the ground.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Luo Fei, only to see him with a calm expression, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Luo Ying blinked and looked at Chu Yue again.

Chu Yue leaned against the wall, her hands in her pockets, her expression indifferent, as if it were none of her business.

Luo Ying thought for a moment, then waved her hand.

"Never mind, get up."

Her tone was casual, as if she were shooing away a fly.

Zhou Jianye felt as if he had been granted a pardon and kowtowed twice more.

"Thank you, young lady! Thank you!"

He got up, staggered to the side, and didn't dare to lift his head.

Luo Fei glanced at him, then turned away.

"Let's go."

He walked back.

Several girls followed him, weaving through the crowd of onlookers, and headed towards the private room.

Behind him, a group of people stood still, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Ming watched Luo Fei's figure disappear down the corridor and let out a long sigh.

He then realized that his back was soaked with sweat.

Zhou Yuchen walked to his side and lowered his voice.

"Brother Liu, who is that person?"

Liu Ming glanced at him.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

The two turned and walked towards the Peony Hall.

The group of bosses were stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

Only Zhou Jianye stood there, his legs weak, leaning against the wall, panting heavily.

His friends came over.

"Old Zhou, what exactly happened?"

Zhou Jianye shook his head, speechless, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

The last person to enter the Peony Hall closed the door.

Liu Ming sat in the chair, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Yuchen sat next to him, waiting for him to speak.

The bosses all sat down, but no one dared to speak; they just exchanged glances furtively.

Liu Ming put down his wine glass.

"That person's name is Luo Fei."

Zhou Yuchen nodded, waiting for what was to come.

Liu Ming looked at him.

"You know Wang Zihao, right?"

Zhou Yuchen was stunned for a moment.

"I know, we used to drink together. I think he was arrested a while ago, what happened?"

Liu Ming nodded.

"It's because of him."

Zhou Yuchen's expression changed.

Liu Ming continued.

"My dad made me kneel for two and a half hours as punishment."

"After I knelt down, my dad showed me a photo."

He took out his phone, found Luo Fei's photo, and handed it to Zhou Yuchen.

Zhou Yuchen took the phone and looked at the face on the screen.

"My dad said that no one in the entire Qingyang County can afford to mess with this person."

"Wang Zihao offended him, and he went to jail, and his father went to jail too."

"My dad told me to remember this face and to avoid him whenever I see him in the future."

Zhou Yuchen stared at the photo and remained silent for a long time.

Then he returned the phone to Liu Ming.

"Understood."

He stood up.

"Walk."

Liu Ming looked up at him.

"Where to?"

Zhou Yuchen said.

"Go and offer a toast."

Green Bamboo Hall.

Luo Fei and his group returned to the private room and sat down again.

Luo Ying sat in the chair and took a sip of her drink.

"Brother, was I too fierce just now?"

Luo Fei glanced at her.

"no."

Luo Ying blinked.

"Then why did he kneel down so readily?"

Luo Fei remained silent.

Su Wanqing smiled beside her.

"Because your brother is awesome."

Luo Ying looked at Chu Yue, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Chu Yue nodded.

"Don't overthink it."

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

The waiter pushed open the door.

"Sir, excuse me, our boss would like to see you."

Luo Fei looked towards the doorway.

Liu Ming and Zhou Yuchen stood there.

The two men each held a glass of wine in their hands.

Luo Fei remained silent.

Liu Ming spoke first.

"Mr. Luo, what happened just now was our man's fault. I apologize to you and your sister on his behalf."

"I'll drink it, you can do as you please."

He tilted his head back and downed the wine in one gulp.

Zhou Yuchen also joined in.

Luo Fei looked at Liu Ming and asked a question.

Do you know me?

"My dad is Liu Zhendong from the county public security bureau."

Luo Fei nodded, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Please sit down."

Liu Ming and Zhou Yuchen exchanged a glance and sat down on the chairs next to each other.

Zhou Yuchen spoke.

"Mr. Luo, I am Zhou Yuchen, the owner of this restaurant. What happened today was due to my poor management, which frightened you and your family."

"Tonight's meal is on me. Next time you come, just let me know, and I'll make sure everything is arranged."

Luo Fei nodded.

You're too kind.

Zhou Yuchen glanced at the dishes on the table.

"Let me serve you a fresh set of dishes."

Luo Fei shook his head.

"No need, I'm almost full."

Liu Ming took out his phone.

"Mr. Luo, could you please provide your contact information? You can call me anytime if you need anything in the county."

Luo Fei gave Liu Ming his number, and Liu Ming entered it and pressed dial.

The call didn't go through, and he looked at Luo Fei with a puzzled expression.

Luo Fei remembered that he had set up a feature to reject calls from strangers and began to explain.

"I used to receive a lot of harassing calls, so I set it to reject them."

He then reset it. Liu Ming dialed again, and this time Luo Fei's phone rang. He saved the number, and also saved Zhou Yuchen's.

After exchanging contact information, Liu Ming and his companion got up to say goodbye.

"Alright, we won't bother you any longer. Please enjoy your meal."

The two exchanged a few more polite words and then left.

After leaving the Green Bamboo Hall, Zhou Yuchen spoke to the waiter at the door.

"Tell your manager that the Cuizhu Pavilion is on the house tonight."

Back in the private room, Zhou Yuchen asked Liu Ming a question.

"Brother Liu, who exactly is this guy? Even my dad has never told me to be this careful."

Liu Ming glanced at him.

"Although you're a bit arrogant and like to boast, you know your limits. Has your dad ever told you to be careful of anyone?"

Zhou Yuchen thought for a moment.

"No, we don't have that."

"That's right."

Liu Ming patted Zhou Yuchen on the shoulder.

"Don't ask anymore, just remember that face and don't mess with it again."

Inside the Green Bamboo Hall.

The group continued eating.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin chattered excitedly about what had just happened.

Chu Yue ate quietly, occasionally glancing up at Luo Fei.

Su Wanqing checked the time.

"It's almost seven o'clock, I have things to do at home, I have to go back."

Luo Fei nodded.

"I send you."

The group got up and left the private room.

Stepping out of the restaurant, the streetlights were already casting a dim, yellowish glow.

Su Wanqing's car was parked at the entrance.

She opened the car door and looked back at Luo Fei.

"Luo Fei, I'll arrange some time in the next few days to go and check on the activity center in the village."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Okay, call me when the time comes."

Su Wanqing smiled.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

She got into the car, started it, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Luo Fei turned around and looked at Luo Ying and the others.

"Let's go home."

D9 left the hotel and headed towards the villa.

The car was quiet.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin sat in the back row, feeling a little sleepy after just finishing their meal.

Chu Yue looked out the window, lost in thought.

Luo Fei was driving when his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

While waiting at a traffic light, Luo Fei checked his phone and saw a message from Director Qin: "Little Luo, you can keep an eye on the news tonight."

"Okay," Luo Fei replied simply.

Back at the villa, the lights were on in the living room.

Luo Yumei was sitting on the sofa, watching a TV series.

She looked up when she saw the group return.

"You're back? Have you finished eating?"

Luo Fei nodded, walked over, and sat down on the sofa.

"Auntie, can I watch the news?"

Luo Yumei paused for a moment, then handed him the remote control.

"See?"

Luo Fei took the remote control and switched to the news channel.

The evening news was playing on the television.

The host's voice was calm and steady.

"The much-anticipated leukemia treatment drug 'Bai Rui Ze' was officially launched nationwide today."

Screen switch.

Long queues formed at the hospital outpatient department.

The reporter conducted on-site interviews.

"Sir, are you here to pick up medicine for your family?"

An elderly man with white hair looked at the camera, his eyes reddening.

"This is my grandson. He has leukemia and has been undergoing treatment for several years, costing hundreds of thousands of yuan. We heard today that this medicine is reimbursable, so we came early this morning."

reporter asked.

Do you know the price of this medicine?

The old man nodded.

"I understand. The news reported that patients with Chinese nationality can get the injection at the nearest hospital by bringing their medical records. After medical insurance reimbursement, the cost is about two thousand yuan."

He wiped his eyes.

"Two thousand yuan! I used to earn more than that in a month. Now, with just two thousand, my grandson can be saved."

The scene then changes.

A reporter interviewed a doctor at the entrance of the hospital pharmacy.

"Is there a sufficient supply of this medicine?"

The doctor nodded.

"The first batch of medicines has arrived at the hospital and can basically meet the needs of the current critically ill patients. Production will continue and the supply will be gradually expanded."

reporter asked.

"Are there any corresponding policies for patients from families facing financial difficulties?"

The doctor said.

"Yes. If your family is indeed experiencing financial difficulties, you can submit an application, and after verification, all fees will be waived."

The camera cuts back to the studio.

The host continued.

"It is worth noting that Bai Ruizhe is currently only available to patients of Chinese nationality. Regarding the needs of non-Chinese nationals, relevant departments stated that due to limited initial production capacity, there are no plans for export at the moment. Exports will be considered once production capacity increases."

Luo Yumei listened from the side, her eyes slowly widening.

"Xiaofei, this medicine... is it the same one as before?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Um."

As she watched the news report on TV, she suddenly felt a little dazed.

On the screen, the video continues.

The reporter conducted random interviews on the street.

Do you know about the drug Brukinsa?

"Of course I know! It's a cure for leukemia! It's medicine made in our own country!"

"What do you think of the price?"

"Two thousand yuan! What kind of price is that! Imported medicine used to cost tens of thousands of yuan per dose, but now it can be cured for two thousand. The country has really done a great thing for the people!"

Do you support exports?

"We don't support it now! Let's heal our own people first! If foreigners want to use it, let them wait!"

Luo Yumei couldn't help but laugh as she listened.

"This person speaks very honestly."

Luo Fei smiled as well.

The news was still playing on television.

But Luo Fei stopped watching.

He leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

Starting today.

Bai Ruizhe has officially launched.

Families suffering from leukemia have found hope.

His name has been remembered by all the major conglomerates across the planet.

Will those foreign conglomerates just give up?

No, today's call is just the beginning.

As for whether there will be any other actions...
