2026-07-08 16:57:04At six forty-five the next morning, Peter was making a simple breakfast in Apartment 307 when he heard an unusual amount of conversation and footsteps from below.
He turned off the low flame under the pot, walked to the window, and saw the alley in front of the apartment filled with people.
There were more than sixty of them.
Some had purchased Forging Qi Pills in earlier days. Some were patients from Prosperity Health Clinic who

What the Truck Could Not Take
The talkative thug continued mocking them and said all the notes in the world would not return the shop. According to him, Mr Wong would be sleeping on the pavement before the end of the week.The neighboring shopkeeper again asked whether the signboard could be removed. The gossiping neighbor scolded him until several residents also looked at him with disgust.Peter helped Mr Wong stand. The old man’s legs trembled after sitting too long while enduring humiliation in front of the neighborhood.“I have nothing left,” Mr Wong said. “The shop is gone, I have no money, and the rent on my room is due soon.”Peter picked up a small bag containing documents and several personal belongings that had not been included in the seizure.“Come with me.”Mr Wong shook his head. He did not want to trouble Peter or force someone else
The Seized Shop
Peter left the clinic earlier than usual because his shoulder and ribs still needed rest. He chose a route passing Mr Wong’s Traditional Medicine Shop so he could make sure the herbal supplies used by the clinic had not encountered any problems.From the end of the street, he saw a crowd gathered in front of the shop. A truck was parked near the entrance, while several men carried wooden shelves, scales, medicine boxes, and sacks of dried ingredients into the vehicle.Peter stopped his electric bike at the side of the road. He walked closer and found Mr Wong sitting in front of the shop with several documents on his lap.The old man’s face looked exhausted and his eyes were red. The shop sign still hung above the door, but the interior was nearly empty.“Mr Wong, what happened?” Peter asked.Mr Wong slowly lifted his head.“The s
The Talkative Assistant
Toby sat in the consultation chair as though the room were beneath him. He placed his phone on the desk and repeated that Regina Xiao could not possibly come to a small clinic crowded with ordinary patients.According to him, a famous actress needed a quiet, clean place separated from people who might secretly take photographs. He also said Peter should understand that one private visit from Regina could change the future of the clinic.“If Miss Regina is satisfied, we can recommend you through social media,” Toby said. “Millions of people will see your name in a single night.”Peter closed the file of his last patient before looking at him. “I do not use patients as promotional tools. If Regina needs medical care, I need to know her complaint, not the number of her followers.”Toby leaned back and scoffed. He again called the clinic unsuitable for a major actress,
A Famous Name in Line
A young woman who claimed to be Regina Xiao’s fan took out her phone and began recording. She hoped the appearance of the famous actress’s assistant meant Regina herself might come to the clinic.Lina immediately stopped her.“Recording is prohibited in the patient area. Patient information and faces must be protected.”The fan lowered her phone reluctantly. Toby used the attention to raise his voice.“Miss Regina needs Doctor Peter now. He must come with me.”A mother who had guarded her queue number since morning lifted the card in her hand.“We all need the doctor. You have not registered or waited.”A patient who enjoyed pretending to be neutral tried to mediate.“Perhaps we should let him pass. Regina Xiao is a major celebrity, and her schedule must be more di
The Name on the Phone
The bald leader tried to restore his authority. He picked up one of the fallen knives and attacked Peter with movements more controlled than those of his men.Peter twisted his wrist, pressed a nerve near his shoulder, and swept his legs. The leader fell onto his back, while the knife slid beyond reach.He tried to rise, but Peter pinned his wrist with one knee without crushing the joint.“Enough,” Peter said. “There is no benefit in adding more injuries.”The ten attackers were now in different conditions. Several had fallen from collisions, three temporarily lacked strength in their hands, two were holding injured knees, and the younger member had already surrendered.No one had died or suffered permanent disability. Peter even removed one needle from an attacker’s arm when the color of the surrounding skin began to change.&ld
Ten Men for One Doctor
The blow left a long dent in the sedan door. The driver, who had only just stepped away from the car, immediately shouted in anger.“Idiot! Do you know how much that will cost to repair?”The attacker blamed Peter for avoiding the strike. The talkative member laughed at him, while the flatterer cursed because an unauthorized attack had disrupted their formation.The bald leader struck his club against the road.“Enough! You came for one man, not to destroy your own car.”The large man told the driver to stop complaining. He said the repair cost could be deducted from the payment of whoever failed to hit Peter.The argument ruined their positions. Two men gathered near the sedan, one stepped back because he feared being charged for the damage, and the younger member looked even more uncertain.Peter remained among t
