Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Nearly Lost My Life_1

Mu Kongwen’s bowing deeply to pay his respects was so unexpected that everyone present watched, dumbfounded and flabbergasted.

"What, what, what! How is this possible? The esteemed eldest son of the Mu Family is being so polite to this young man? What’s going on?"

Those who didn’t recognize Mu Kongwen whispered, "Who is that person? Why do even old Zhu and old Bai have to open the car door for him?"

"Who?! He’s the eldest son of Mu Changchun, the Family Head of the Mu Family, one of the twelve pillars of our Daxia country! The second-generation head of the Mu Family! Mu Kongwen!"

"Ah?! Him?! My goodness! Such a big shot, how could he, how could he..."

"If even such an important figure has to be so respectful to this Mr. Ye, then could it be that Mr. Ye isn’t just errand runner for elders Zhu and Bai? Impossible, right?"

"Nonsense! Of course, it’s impossible!"

Everyone was discussing timidly.

Following them, elders Zhu and Bai also stepped forward to pay an even greater compliment to Ye Fei.

"Greetings, Mr. Ye..."

Zhu Ping, standing to the side, was utterly shocked into a daze.

He stood frozen in place, not moving, as if the whole world had turned to shades of gray.

Zhang He was also trembling slightly, his throat dry.

He mechanically turned to look at Zhu Ping, as if to say, "Didn’t you say this Ye is a nobody? What’s going on!"

Zhang He was scared.

Of course, he was scared.

He had just offended someone whom even Mu Kongwen treated with great respect!

If Mu Kongwen were to inquire about his wrongdoing, not just him, Zhang He, but the entire Zhang Family would likely be turned to dust overnight.

Mu Kongwen, of course, had no idea what had just occurred and continued, "My father said that if we were to treat Mr. Ye’s kindness to the Mu Family with just a few words, we would feel too ashamed.

"There’s an old saying, ’Precious swords are gifted to heroes, divine needles to miracle doctors.’ Now, our Mu Family has a treasured set of Ancient Silver Needles that has been in our possession for many years, and we hope to present it to you, Mr. Ye, to assist you in healing and saving more lives."

As he spoke, Mu Kongwen took an antique sandalwood box out of his chest.

Gently opening it, a flash of silver gleamed out.

A set of one hundred and eight exquisitely crafted silver needles lay before everyone.

As a practitioner of medicine, Ye Fei naturally loved such treasures.

He found it even harder to refuse the other party’s words.

He took the box with both hands and nodded slightly, "I thank the elder Mu for your kind thoughts and you, young master Mu, for personally delivering this treasure to me. Then I shall humbly accept it."

"Also, I’m grateful for the other kind intention you conveyed on behalf of your family. Thank you once again."

Mu Kongwen hurriedly grasped Ye Fei’s hand, "I was actually worried that you wouldn’t accept it. Haha!"

What was unfolding before their eyes was repeatedly jolting the nerves of the onlookers.

It was all the more incredible for them.

"The Mu Family is actually taking the initiative to give someone a gift? This is unheard of!"

"This Mr. Ye has done a favor for the Mu Family? He knows the old Master Mu? Oh my, it seems the matter is becoming more and more serious."

Others looked at Ye Fei with immense envy.

But for Zhang He and Zhu Ping, the scenery was quite different.

Zhu Ping was trembling non-stop, scared to the point of wetting his pants.

Zhang He was sweating profusely, his heart racing.

After chatting with Ye Fei for a few more words, Mu Kongwen suddenly remembered Zhang He.

His demeanor changed abruptly, and with a look of superiority, he said in a firm voice, "Zhang He, come over and greet Mr. Ye."

Zhang He suddenly being called out was so startled that he quickly scurried forward, not daring to lift his head, and said awkwardly, "Mr. Ye, greetings."

Mu Kongwen was somewhat displeased, "Introducing Mr. Ye to you is a courtesy I extend because I have some friendship with your father. But how can you behave so timidly! In the presence of Mr. Ye, what kind of behavior is this!"

No sooner had Mu Kongwen finished speaking than Zhang He completely broke down, falling to his knees with a thud and covering his face to weep bitterly.

"Mr. Ye! I was wrong! It was my fault for being blind and not recognizing a great man, it was my fault for speaking out of line earlier. I beg of you to be the bigger person and not stoop to the level of a bastard like me!"

Mu Kongwen was confused.

Looking between Ye Fei and Zhang He, his face darkened immediately.

"Zhang He!"

"How dare you!"

A low roar startled Zhang He, his guts nearly splitting with fear.

He began kowtowing desperately.

"Uncle Mu, I was wrong! I truly realize my mistake now! I didn’t know Mr. Ye is your friend, I..."

"Get out!"

Mu Kongwen kicked Zhang He, sending him flying eight or nine meters away.

"How dare you disrespect Mr. Ye, does the Zhang Family wish to perish?!"

"Do you believe that with just one word from me, your Zhang Family could vanish from existence?!"

"I believe, I believe!"

Zhang He struggled to his feet, his face smeared with blood and tears, and continued to kneel.

"Uncle Mu, Mr. Ye, I truly acknowledge my mistake. Please forgive me. This has nothing to do with my family..."

"I...!"

Just as Mu Kongwen was about to act again, Ye Fei gave a faint smile, "Brother Mu, why let a piece of trash ruin our mood? Since you’ve come today, I should show some hospitality. How about we find a place to have a few drinks?"

Mu Kongwen instantly smiled again, "Whatever Mr. Ye suggests. Please."

"Please."

Amidst the forefront calls and escorts from the crowd, Ye Fei and the others got into the car and left.

The crowd watching the miserable figure of Zhang He felt indescribable emotions. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

It took Zhang He a long time to recover from his excessive shock.

With the help of several bodyguards, he barely stood up.

Zhu Ping shakily approached him, "Zhang, Zhang, Zhang He, I didn’t know..."

"You didn’t know shit!"

Bang!

Zhang He leaped up with a howl and kicked Zhu Ping flying.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with fury, wishing he could tear Zhu Ping to pieces.

If it hadn’t been for this bastard fanning the flames, would he have almost lost his life?

Zhang He was still shaken by the close call but grateful that he hadn’t gone too far earlier.

Otherwise, even ten heads wouldn’t be enough for the chopping block today!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, pointing at Zhu Ping, who was spitting out blood, he gritted his teeth, "Beat him! Beat him to death! I’ll take the consequences!"
