Chapter 320 Public Apology
Mo Chou could hardly imagine how Chen Xuan could have directly defeated an Inner Strength Grandmaster.
For a moment, a mix of emotions swirled within her.
Shock!
Regret!
Bitterness!
Anger!
...
"You mean I'm not a good-for-nothing?" Chen Xuan asked with a faint smile.
This response was like a slap to Mo Chou's face, bringing her back to her senses.
So... so...
She had misunderstood Chen Xuan all along.
The person she had consistently called a good-for-nothing was actually a powerful being capable of instantly killing a Grandmaster.
At this moment, recalling her own confident words from earlier, she felt how ridiculous she had been; she was merely a clown.
Now, she truly wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Of course, her anger intensified, for Chen Xuan had clearly been playing a trick on her. Those people were killed by Chen Xuan, yet he had pretended to be ignorant.
Grandmaster Song's expression darkened. The next moment, as if remembering something, his eyes widened in sudden realization, "You killed my junior brother, and my nephew..."
"You guessed correctly!" Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Grandmaster Song's expression changed dramatically. After a moment's thought, he turned and ran!
He attempted to escape through the balcony, but as soon as he reached it, Chen Xuan's white sports shoes appeared in his sight. Looking up, he saw Chen Xuan's fist pressed against his forehead.
"You can't kill me. The Murong family... the Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce... they... they won't let you go."
Grandmaster Song, who had always held himself with an air of superiority, was sweating profusely. As he retreated, he pleaded in a low voice.
"If they won't let me go, then I'll destroy them all!"
Grandmaster Song's desperate pleas were met with Chen Xuan's murderous tone.
His pupils contracted, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He lunged at Chen Xuan, attempting a sneak attack.
"Despicable!"
Chen Xuan's palm struck Grandmaster Song's forehead. Before Grandmaster Song could even cry out, blood and brain matter flowed from his seven orifices. He collapsed on the ground, staining the new carpet crimson.
"Please, stop the bleeding for my senior sister. If you don't stop it soon, she'll die..." Shangguan Wan'er pleaded.
"For the sake of you being a partner with Medicine God Pharmaceutical Industry, I will stop her bleeding."
Chen Xuan looked at Shangguan Wan'er, whose face was etched with worry and tear-streaked, and nodded faintly.
Chen Xuan walked over, took out silver needles, and inserted them into Mo Chou's arm.
Due to excessive blood loss, Mo Chou's face was pale, and she could only see Chen Xuan as a hazy, overlapping silhouette.
Feeling ashamed, she still managed to speak with difficulty, "I... I'm sorry..."
"From what you're saying, are you planning to apologize to me? But that won't do. You need to go to Medicine God Pharmaceutical Industry and apologize to me publicly," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
With that, Chen Xuan took Su Yunxi's hand and left the chaotic scene. Shangguan Wan'er quickly made a call to have people handle the situation before taking Mo Chou to the hospital.
The next day, Shangguan Wan'er and Zhao Xiaoyu, along with Mo Chou, personally went to Medicine God Pharmaceutical Industry.
During the Medicine God Pharmaceutical Industry's employee assembly, Mo Chou publicly apologized to Chen Xuan, admitting that she had slandered him.
This time, her apology was heartfelt and sincere.
A Half-step Grandmaster had no dignity in the face of an Inner Strength Grandmaster!
Even with unwillingness, dissatisfaction, and anger, one could only bow their head. This was the rule of martial arts; unless one wished to die.
Thus, Han Zhongzhou's plan to drive away Chen Xuan and sideline Su Yunxi was naturally shattered!
"Wow, he's amazing!"
"That Far East Pharmaceutical Trade was so formidable, how did they end up publicly apologizing to our Vice President Chen?"
"Yeah, weren't they in a huge dispute yesterday?"
"I heard that the person from Far East Pharmaceutical Trade was ill yesterday, and Vice President Chen cured him."
"Vice President Chen's medical skills are that impressive? He said the person was ill during negotiations, and it turned out to be true."
"That makes sense, but it's still a bit unbelievable, isn't it?"
All eyes converged on Chen Xuan, filled with disbelief.
Chen Xuan, with his clear sense of gratitude and animosity, and with the connection to the Great Elder, also healed Shangguan Wan'er's paralyzed legs. Grateful, Shangguan Wan'er signed a twenty-year contract with Medicine God Pharmaceutical Industry, at a reduced price, only profiting from service fees. With this connection, Su Yunxi's position at Medicine God Pharmaceutical Industry became even more secure.
Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce, Provincial City.
"Sir, Grandmaster Song is dead. His skull was shattered by a single palm..."
A young man burst into the room, his voice hoarse.
A middle-aged man sitting on the opposite sofa trembled, his voice filled with disbelief, "How could this happen? That was an Inner Strength Grandmaster! How could he die? When did such a person appear in that small place called Jiangzhou?"
"Should we send more people for revenge?"
Having lost two Inner Strength Grandmasters in succession, even the Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce felt immense trouble.
The middle-aged man gazed at the deep night sky in the direction of Jiangzhou, shook his head, and said decisively, "Jiangzhou is not what it used to be. Let's observe the situation first."
In the blink of an eye, the opening day for Xuanji Hall was approaching.
In this era, everything required publicity. Whether selling houses or cars, imported or domestic, regardless of whether they were properties with large school district rights or rebuilt urban village properties with small titles, advertisements were necessary. Xuanji Hall was no exception.
Hei Hu hired an advertising company to spread the word extensively about Xuanji Hall's opening ceremony. News of the grand opening could be seen wherever there were people. The momentum was tremendous!
And on the day before Xuanji Hall's opening.
The Li family, which had always been quiet and deserted, suddenly received visitors.
Outside the Li family villa, two women stood. They looked at the dilapidated courtyard filled with fallen leaves, and the withered flowers that had once bloomed, their brows furrowing. Although the entire family had moved to the provincial city, seeing their old home in such a state still made them uncomfortable. However, the moment they thought of their new status as residents of the provincial city, all discomfort vanished.
One of the women stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The villa door opened, and an old man emerged. It was the old man left behind by the Li family to guard the villa. The old man looked at the two elegant figures outside the door with surprise, "Miss Jiajia, Miss Xin'er, why have you returned?"
Weren't they supposed to be enjoying the good life in the provincial city? Why were they back now?
Li Jiajia revealed a hint of pride, "We are going to transfer our household registration to the provincial city. It will be more convenient for us to handle matters there in the future, and we can receive medical treatment and won't be discriminated against."
Their purpose for returning today was to transfer their household registration to the provincial city, making them true residents of the provincial city. How could Jiangzhou compare to the provincial city? It was full of wealthy people.
Whether it was medical facilities or economic conditions, they were a hundred times better than Jiangzhou. If they had children in the future, they could attend school there. More importantly, if their household registration was in the provincial city, she could proudly say that she was from the provincial city; otherwise, people might think she was from a small place like Jiangzhou.
"I thought Xuanji Hall had invited you to attend their opening ceremony," the old man said, his brow furrowing in realization.
"What is Xuanji Hall? Are they worthy of inviting me? Do they even know who I am now!" Li Jiajia said with a snort of arrogance.
Although the Li sisters had been driven out by the Medicine King's Mansion, her aunt was a person highly valued by the Liu family conglomerate. Through her aunt's introduction, she had already entered the upper echelons of the provincial city, and her arrogance had grown to the point where she no longer looked down on others. As for Xuanji Hall, it sounded like a third-rate martial arts force. She wouldn't even bother with such forces in the provincial city, let alone forces from Jiangzhou.
