Volume One, Chapter One: Girlfriend Teams Up with Patients to Report Fake Medicine Sales

“Mr. Yang, could you make your medicine a little cheaper?”
“A bottle costs five thousand yuan. We really can’t afford it anymore!”

A man wearing a face mask looked pleadingly at the young man before him.

“Are you complaining about the price?”
“I’ve said it before, five thousand per bottle. Not a penny less!”
“If you can’t pay, get lost!”
“This isn’t a charity!”

Yang Feng spoke impatiently.

Hearing this, the man with the mask dared not utter a word.

Just then, several police officers walked over, led by a strikingly attractive female officer.

As the police approached, the crowd quickly parted to create a path.

“I am Xu Yourong, captain of the Economic Investigation Unit of Donghai City.”
“We received a report that you are suspected of selling counterfeit drugs.”
“I must ask you to come with me to the police station to assist with our investigation.”

Xu Yourong displayed her badge and spoke.

Everyone present was stunned by the spectacle.

At the same time, Yang Feng lifted his head to look at Xu Yourong.

As expected, her name suited her—magnanimous and accommodating.

“Who reported me?” Yang Feng asked calmly, glancing at the crowd.

Everyone hung their heads in shame, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, Yang Feng sneered inwardly.

Clearly, every person present was involved in reporting him.

“If not for me, you’d all be dead by now!”
“Back then, you begged me like dogs—now you dare to report me?”
“Are you even human?”

Yang Feng questioned them angrily.

“We…”

Faced with his accusation, no one could respond.

“Stop questioning them. I’m the one who reported you!”

At that moment, a cold voice rang out.

A tall, elegantly featured woman stepped forward.

“It’s you? Ma Rongrong?”

Yang Feng’s face showed a hint of surprise upon seeing her.

Ma Rongrong was his first patient—and his girlfriend.

She had been suffering from ALS and was on the brink of death. Yang Feng had sought out countless doctors, but none could cure her.

Then, Yang Feng awakened the Medicine King System.

The Medicine King System gifted him a newcomer’s package, rewarding him with a prescription to treat ALS.

While this prescription couldn’t cure ALS entirely, it could alleviate the symptoms.

As long as she took the medicine regularly, she would live like a normal person.

Yang Feng had given Ma Rongrong a second chance at life.

At that moment, Yang Feng felt utterly devastated.

He never imagined that the one he loved most would be the one to report him.

“Why did you report me?” Yang Feng asked with profound anguish.

“Why? Yang Feng, because I can’t stand you profiting from suffering patients!”
“Your medicine is too expensive—five thousand per bottle. So many can’t afford it anymore!”
“I tried to persuade you to lower the price, but you wouldn’t listen!”
“I had no choice but to do this!”
“Don’t blame me, blame yourself for being so greedy!”

Ma Rongrong seemed to transform into an agent of justice, standing atop the moral high ground and criticizing Yang Feng mercilessly.

At the same time, the surrounding crowd began to speak up.

“Miss Ma is right!”
“Yang Feng, you’re far too selfish!”
“We’re already pitiful as patients, yet you still bleed us dry!”
“Five thousand a bottle—I had to sell my house just to afford it!”
“Yang Feng, you’re nothing but a vampire!”

The crowd condemned Yang Feng, blaming him for everything, as if he was the true cause of their illness.

Yang Feng said nothing in response.

He had nothing left to say to these people.

When their lives were at stake, they had begged him desperately for the medicine, willing to pay any price.

Now, five thousand per bottle seemed too expensive.

So they reported him, hoping to send him to prison.

Yang Feng realized that being a good person was indeed difficult.

But he no longer cared.

At most, he’d spend a few years in prison.

Without his medicine, they would all die.

“Take me away,” Yang Feng said, extending his hands to Xu Yourong.

“Uh…”

Xu Yourong was momentarily stunned by Yang Feng’s calmness.

She couldn’t understand why he was so composed in the face of betrayal by his girlfriend and accusations from his patients.

Was there some secret he couldn’t reveal?

Xu Yourong couldn’t help but become curious about Yang Feng.

Regardless of his guilt, the court would decide.

As a police officer, her duty was to arrest suspects.

Without hesitation, Xu Yourong handcuffed Yang Feng.

“You are all witnesses. Please come to the station later to give your statements,” she told the crowd.

Then, she led Yang Feng out of the room.

“Miss Ma, Yang Feng’s been arrested. What should we do now?”
“Yes, without the medicine, we’ll die!”
“Miss Ma, you promised us—don’t let us down!”

After Yang Feng was taken away, everyone surrounded Ma Rongrong.

Ma Rongrong was the mastermind behind their report against Yang Feng.

Did they not know whether Yang Feng’s medicine was fake?

If it were fake, they wouldn’t pay five thousand for a bottle.

They reported him for only one reason.

Ma Rongrong had promised them that once Yang Feng was gone, she would provide them with cheaper medicine.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to Chairman Song.”
“He promised to supply us with affordable medicine!”
“Chairman Song is head of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, a publicly listed company. He wouldn’t deceive us.”

Ma Rongrong addressed the crowd.

Until Yang Feng was imprisoned, these people were still useful, so she refrained from turning against them.

“Miss Ma, since you’ve said so, we trust you!”
“We’ll rely on you from now on!”
“Yang Feng was truly shameless!”
“A bottle for five thousand, and I need one every month!”
“He made so much money and still wouldn’t lower the price!”
“Yes, exactly. Yang Feng was so heartless!”

The crowd voiced their thoughts openly.

Their sole purpose in reporting Yang Feng was to obtain cheaper medicine.
