Chapter 512 Doubts about Chinese Medicine

After hanging up the phone, I walked towards Dishifu Road.

Zhujiang City Commercial Pedestrian Street is located in Shangxiajiu Road and Dishifu Road. It is one of the three major commercial centers in Zhujiang City. There are 238 shops on both sides of the 800-meter-long street. On walking days, all vehicles are prohibited from passing. Visitors can walk on the street as they wish, and there are various mass cultural and artistic activities.

The quaint buildings and bustling streets are full of strong local characteristics of Lingnan. The arcade-style buildings on both sides of the pedestrian street are well preserved, allowing citizens and tourists to relax and enjoy, even in the scorching sun or in the pouring rain. At night, the lights of thousands of homes and the sunsets of the business sea, the lanterns and colorful lights hanging along the street and the shop lights are complementary, beautiful, and it is another charming night view of the metropolis. It has become one of the unique tourist attractions in Zhujiang City.

Chen Yong walked while watching, and did not send out the signs of the late-night snack stalls. He felt indescribable anxiety in his heart. This street is about to end, and the street in front is Xiajiufu Road. This street is already at the end, and there is no late-night snack stalls. Only at the corner of this street, there is a storefront being renovated. The sound of hammers knocking on the wall, the roar of the chainsaw motor, and the sound of sawing wood, gathering into a harsh sound.

The work at this point has not yet been completed, which means that the store is working overnight and has been renovated and opened early.

Chen Yong looked up and saw a dark brown sign on it. The sign reads five big red characters "Yanji Xiaoxiaoqi" and a line of small characters "Centennial Old Shop" below. The sign is full of mottled dust, the font is blurred, and it has experienced endless years and vicissitudes.

Seeing this signboard, Chen Yong let go of his anxious mood. Chen Yuan's store should have made money. Redecorate it and change the environment, and the business may be better!

Chen Yong walked up and stood at the door to look. The store is nearly eight or nine meters wide and is very deep inside. It can accommodate hundreds of people to eat at the same time. It costs a lot of money to just renovate.

I wanted to ask someone, where the boss was, and when I saw the decoration workers busy, I felt embarrassed to speak. I saw a milk tea shop in front of me. There were several tables in front of the milk tea shop, and there were people in groups of three or three. At this time, a couple stood up and walked away. Chen Yong walked up and sat down next to the empty table. After a while, a pure and cute waitress came over and asked Chen Yong politely while cleaning up the garbage on the table: "Sir, do you need something to drink? There are many special snacks in our store,"

"Give me a cup of frozen lemon tea!" Chen Yong thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The waiter left after cleaning. After a while, he brought a plastic cup of lemon tea and placed it in front of Chen Yong.

"Sir, this is the lemon tea you want! Do you need anything else?"

"I want to ask you?" Chen Yong.

"Please tell me!" the waiter.

"Why is the Yanji midnight snack shop in front of you decorating?" Chen Yong asked.

"I heard it was a change of the boss!" the waiter.

"Where did that boss go before?" Chen Yong.

The waiter sighed and said, "Boss Yan died suddenly after falling ill half a year ago. The mother and son were left struggling to survive. In the past, the store was entirely reliant on Boss Yan, and when Boss Yan left, his business plummeted. Later, somehow, there were gangsters in society who harassed every day. They started to collect protection fees, but later they beat people. Just two months ago, the gangsters beat the mother and son seriously injured."

Chen Yong asked excitedly: "Is he seriously injured? Is his life in danger?"

"Later, someone called the police. When the guards came, they called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. I heard that he had no money for treatment, so the boss at the surrounding stalls donated some money! I didn't know later!"

After the waiter finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "This stall was originally Boss Yan's ancestral property. How could it be replaced by someone else's? There must be something wrong with it!"

Chen Yong asked again: "Do you know where the mother and son went? Are you still in the hospital?"

"I should have been discharged from the hospital long ago! I heard that I have money to live in the hospital. I heard that I have returned to Yanjia Village, and it is Boss Yan's house!" said the waiter.

"Do you know where Yanjia Village is? Which building do they live in?" Chen Yong asked anxiously.

"Yanjia Village is not far in front, I don't know which building to live in." The waiter.

"Thank you! Thank you very much!"

After Chen Yong finished speaking, he gave the waiter ten yuan and walked away quickly with the lemon tea that he had not yet drunk. The waiter behind him shouted: "Sir, come to you for money!"

"No need to look for it!" Chen Yong answered and walked quickly. He asked several people along the way. He found out that Yanjia Village was behind Xiajiu Road. Through an alley, he saw a gatehouse with a rectangular groove on the gatehouse, which was inlaid with five regular characters "Yanjia Management District". The gatehouse is still very new, and it should have been built not long ago. There is a security room next to the gatehouse. An old man in his fifties was listening to the radio in the security room. Chen Yong walked up and asked, "Hello, uncle! I want to ask where Chen Yuan lives?"

The security guard thought for a while before answering, "Chen Yuan? I don't know him. All the people living here have the surname Yan, and no one has the surname Chen!"

"It's the one that opened the late-night snack shop at the tenth day!" Chen Yong asked anxiously.

"You are talking about Yan Dahai? Yan Dahai has been dead for half a year!" The security guard shook.

"I want to find the two mothers and sons who work at the stall!" Chen Yong.

The security guard looked at Chen Yong with a strange look and asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for Chen Xiaoying and the others? Fortunately, I am on duty here. If someone else would inform Yan Laosan, you would cause trouble! Young man, who are you?"

"Chen Xiaoying is my cousin, Chen Yuan is my cousin! How are they doing now?" Chen Yong said in an anxious tone.

"They set up a stall at around 5 pm. I heard that they were setting up stalls next to Shangjiu Road Square. The shops of the fields were occupied. The injuries on their bodies were still fine but they were not cured! It's pitiful! The mother and son are so miserable. No one dared to help, and they were afraid of revenge from this underworld bully Yan Laosan!" The security guard sighed and said.

"They won't call the police anymore, will there be no one to help?" Chen Yong asked again.

"The police station guards and Yan Laosan are all wearing pairs of pants. The Liwan District Police Station guard chief, who is brother to Yan Laosan. When the guards came, they saw that they were Yan Laosan's brothers, they all walked faster than rabbits! How do you care?"
