Chapter 524: How does [524] not feel like a good person? _1

Zhao Tianshui’s wife was also terrified, unable to believe her eyes as she looked at her husband sitting up.

“Tian… Tianshui, you… what happened to you? Don’t scare me like this…”

Zhao Tianshui’s body stiffened as he turned his head to look at his wife and suddenly called out, “Xiuli, why are you at the company?”

The woman was instantly stunned.

Her name was Yu Xiuli.

That Zhao Tianshui could call out her name meant he still had his wits about him.

But hadn’t the doctor just announced that her husband was dead?

“Tianshui, you… you’re not dead?” Yu Xiuli was both shocked and overjoyed.

For her, her husband coming back from the dead was, of course, wonderful news.

But the scene was so eerie, it scared her to the point where she dare not step forward.

“What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be dead?”

Zhao Tianshui clearly didn’t grasp the meaning behind his wife’s words. At this moment, he also noticed the doctor and the crowd of onlookers beside him and was somewhat puzzled, “What on earth happened? Why are there so many people here?”

The male doctor was utterly petrified by now.

His eyes were bulging like bells and his mouth hung open, unable to close for quite some time.

He had been a doctor for over a decade and had seen all manner of strange occurrences.

He had seen someone survive even after a piece of rebar had penetrated their skull.

He had also seen someone swallow a knife and not die.

But these people were just lucky to receive heaven’s special favor.

However, this particular patient, who was clearly dead, had been brought back to life with just a few silver needles.

This was as scary as watching a horror movie, too damn thrilling.

Even now, his back was still chillingly cold.

If a doctor accustomed to seeing dead bodies felt this way, one could imagine the mental state of the onlooking crowd.

The only way to describe it was a complete breakdown.

Everyone’s body shook uncontrollably, and the more faint-hearted among them had already wet a large spot on their trousers, actually wetting themselves on the spot out of fear.

They couldn’t be blamed for their cowardice; who wouldn’t be afraid upon seeing someone who had died rise again right before their eyes?

Yet amidst their fear, they found Tang Feng’s medical skills utterly inconceivable.

The doctor had already declared the man dead, yet he had managed to bring him back to life?

Could traditional Chinese medicine really be so miraculous?

“What are these?” At this moment, Zhao Tianshui finally noticed the silver needles inserted all over his chest and head, which he found very strange.

He had been overcome by a fit of rage due to some matters, and then everything went black, leaving him unconscious.

Now that he had awoken, everything felt very odd.

Yu Xiuli approached to explain to her husband, “You suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and the doctor said you were already dead. Do you know how heartbroken I was at the time? I didn’t even want to live anymore…”

As she thought of that moment earlier, she couldn’t help but start to cry again.

Zhao Tianshui quickly comforted her with a few words, then continued to ask, “How did I wake up, then?”

Yu Xiuli pointed to Tang Feng, her face full of gratitude, “This gentleman saved you. He inserted some silver needles into your body and woke you up.”

She didn’t know how to explain Tang Feng’s method of treatment, and even now, she could hardly believe that these silver needles could have such an amazing effect.

A man who was already dead, brought back to life?

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.

“Mr. Tang? How come it’s you?” Zhao Tianshui recognized Tang Feng at a glance.

He had briefly chatted with Tang Feng when he had supplied goods to the Elegant Pavilion, knowing that Tang Feng was an authority on antique appraisal, but he had no idea that Tang Feng was also so skilled in medicine.

“The Elegant Pavilion has been out of stock for a long time. I came today originally to ask Mr. Zhao about the situation, never expecting to encounter this kind of incident. It was just a small effort, no need for concern.”

Tang Feng briefly explained the situation, without any hint of pride for his achievements.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianshui immediately got off the stretcher and knelt down before him, “Mr. Tang, I’m really sorry, it’s my incompetence that has delayed your business with the Elegant Pavilion.”

Tang Feng hastily helped him to stand up, “Mr. Zhao, please don’t do this. You’ve just had a serious illness; your vitality is greatly reduced. You must take good care of your health.”

“It’s my incompetence, failing to live up to Mr. Tang’s trust,” Zhao Tianshui continued to blame himself.

Tang Feng was immediately filled with curiosity, “Mr. Zhao, what on earth happened? Your Tianshui is one of the largest suppliers in Zhonghai; how could you suddenly run out of stock?”

Zhao Tianshui sighed upon the inquiry, “It’s not just us. This time, all companies supplying the Elegant Pavilion are out of stock.”

Tang Feng became even more perplexed, “Are you saying that only suppliers working with us can’t get stock, but those who work with other antique shops can?”

Zhao Tianshui nodded, “Indeed, that’s the case.”

Tang Feng found it somewhat ludicrous, “And why is that?”

Zhao Tianshui shook his head in confusion, “I’m not sure myself. All suppliers in Zhonghai get their stock from a mysterious upper-level supplier. As per usual, at a fixed time each week, this mysterious business will distribute stock to all the major suppliers. But this time, only those of us who supply to the Elegant Pavilion didn’t get any stock.”

“And what’s the story with this mysterious upper-level supplier?” Tang Feng was utterly confused.

“I don’t mean to withhold information, it’s just that I really don’t know. This upper-level supplier is extremely secretive; every transaction with us is conducted in a mysterious manner. To this day, no one has ever seen their true face,” Zhao Tianshui explained.

Tang Feng found it a little amusing; it didn’t sound like a good situation.

“Oh right, this mysterious supplier did send one thing though; they delivered a clock to me yesterday. What do you think that means? Isn’t that a clear warning to me, as if they’re preparing for my funeral?” Zhao Tianshui brought up another matter, his face filled with outrage.

Tang Feng frowned deeply, “Are you suggesting that this mysterious upper-level supplier is deliberately targeting the Elegant Pavilion?”

Zhao Tianshui nodded, “It seems so.”

Tang Feng fell into deep thought.

Who exactly is this mysterious supplier?

What conflict do they have with the Elegant Pavilion?

Why are they so set on utterly destroying us?
