Boom!
At this moment, the bodyguards had already charged forward. With a loud bang, their fists collided, and a bodyguard suddenly jumped up, wailing in pain!
As the other bodyguards were stunned, Er Zhu spun around. With two crisp slaps, clear finger marks were left on the sides of two bodyguards' faces!
Instantly, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at Er Zhu in disbelief.
Er Zhu's speed just now was incredibly fast, so fast it could be described as flowing like water!
Although Sun Jianguo's brother and Old Wang were not martial artists, they understood the principle that in martial arts, speed is paramount!
Er Zhu was a fighter!
A flicker of excitement flashed in Old Wang's shocked eyes. Unconsciously, his admiration and respect for Er Zhu grew even deeper!
"What are you standing around for? Beat them to death!"
On the other side, Sun Jianguo's brother, shaken, felt his anger surge. His eyes were filled with murderous intent!
"Jianjun, what are you doing?"
Just as the bodyguards were about to make a move, a man's voice suddenly echoed from the doorway. Everyone turned to see Sun Jianguo walking in with a slight frown.
Sun Jianguo had heard that his brother was ill and had come to visit, but he hadn't expected to see such a scene!
He wondered what kind of karma he had accumulated in his past life to have such a brother who only knew how to fight and brawl!
"Brother, this kid scammed me. Hurry up and help me deal with him, and that old man too. I'll make them die today!"
Upon seeing Sun Jianguo, Sun Jianjun felt as if he had found a pillar of support, and his anger erupted completely.
Slap!
Before the last word "die" could even be uttered, Sun Jianguo's slap landed. Sun Jianjun clutched his cheek, staring at his brother with anger.
"Brother, why are you hitting me? It's this quack doctor who scammed me!"
Sun Jianjun pointed at Er Zhu, his angry expression as if he wanted to devour Er Zhu.
"Er Zhu is no quack doctor. My illness was cured by him. Anyone who dares to spout nonsense will face my wrath!"
Sun Jianguo sneered, nodded respectfully to Er Zhu, and then reprimanded them sternly.
Hearing Sun Jianguo's words, the bodyguards quickly retreated. Although they were furious, they could only suppress their anger.
It wasn't just because of Sun Jianguo; it was mostly because of Er Zhu's lightning-fast movements just now!
With one punch and one palm, they had been subdued. This fellow's strength was far superior to theirs!
Recalling the scene just now, their faces turned pale, and their heads drooped so low they almost touched the ground.
"What?"
As the bodyguards were stunned by Er Zhu's martial prowess, Sun Jianjun, standing nearby, looked at his most respected elder brother in disbelief.
His elder brother's illness had been very serious, so serious that even his sister-in-law was considering divorce!
Yet, he was cured by this quack doctor?
Sun Jianjun thought he was dreaming. He bit his tongue hard, and only when the sharp pain spread did he realize that all of this was real!
Sun Jianjun involuntarily looked at Er Zhu. Just as he was about to ask something, a warm current surged into his lungs again. Two streams of energy intertwined, as if nourishing his lungs, making him feel incredibly comfortable!
"This feeling, it's so good..."
Sun Jianjun lay on the bed, basking in the sensation. He felt the chill in his lungs gradually dissolving, and his complexion improved with every passing moment!
"This..."
Old Wang, who had just regained his senses, watched this scene with wide eyes full of shock.
These constant reversals caught Old Wang off guard and gave him a deeper understanding of Er Zhu!
He was now certain that this fellow was no mere fish in a pond, but a dragon in the sea!
Exquisite medical skills!
Exceptional martial arts!
And the savior of Sun Jianguo!
Each of these titles alone was enough to shock most people in this small town, let alone all of them combined!
Er Zhu was indeed wasting his talents by staying in Shiliu Village!
At this moment, Old Wang was completely in awe of Er Zhu. For the first time, he considered inviting Er Zhu to the town.
Of course, it was just an idea for now.
"Brother Er Zhu, I apologize. My brother is always impulsive. Did he hurt you?"
Seeing Sun Jianjun's complexion improve, Sun Jianguo ignored him. He turned and grasped Er Zhu's hand, apologizing with a hint of embarrassment.
"It's nothing. These small fries can't hurt me."
Er Zhu shook his head slightly, casting a dismissive glance at the bodyguards, and finally fixed his gaze on Sun Jianjun.
"Sun Jianjun, apologize to Er Zhu immediately, or don't consider me your brother!"
Sun Jianguo gave an awkward smile. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned and warned.
"I'm sorry. I was too impulsive. I judged a gentleman with a villain's mind. I was an idiot and I deserve to be beaten."
Feeling the dull ache in his lungs completely disappear, Sun Jianjun quickly knelt on the bed, slapping himself while apologizing to Er Zhu.
Thinking back now, he really was quite foolish!
If he had known that this kid could actually cure his illness, he wouldn't have let the bodyguards make a move!
If he had known he was his brother's savior, he wouldn't have complained to his brother!
Sun Jianjun's intestines were about to turn green with regret, but regret was useless...
"Alright, for Brother Sun's sake, I won't hold this against you. Just pay the consultation fee of five thousand."
Just as Sun Jianjun was about to beat himself into a pulp, Er Zhu suddenly walked over, saying this as he removed the silver needles from Sun Jianjun.
Five million?
Although he could afford it, it was still a huge sum for him!
Moreover, Er Zhu had only used a single silver needle.
One silver needle for five million was equivalent to robbery!
Sun Jianjun secretly glanced at Er Zhu, but Er Zhu happened to be looking at him too. The moment their eyes met, Sun Jianjun felt a chill run down his spine. He shivered and silently turned to look at his brother.
"What are you looking at me for? Give Er Zhu whatever he asks for!"
Sun Jianguo glared at Sun Jianjun impatiently, not interceding for his brother.
Although he also felt the consultation fee was too high; although he knew Er Zhu was likely doing this intentionally, he wouldn't help his brother anymore!
He had been cleaning up his brother's messes for over a decade, and now, he didn't want to deal with his affairs anymore!
For his brother's sake, he had lost several opportunities for promotion and had offended countless influential figures in town. He, as an elder brother, had done enough.
"Brother Er Zhu, this consultation fee is too high. Can we discuss it?"
Seeing that his brother wouldn't help him, Sun Jianjun had no choice but to turn his gaze to Er Zhu, tentatively asking in a cautious tone.
"Five million, not a cent less."
Looking at Sun Jianjun's fawning expression, Er Zhu did not back down. He put away the silver needles and turned towards the door to leave.
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Sun Jianjun clenched his fists, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes!
