Che Zheng'en listened to Cheng Xiaofan's words, his face filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that Cheng Xiaofan could see that the diamond ring on Lu Yinshuang's hand had been tampered with, and that it could steal the formula and technology of the new drug.
"Did you tell this young man from Huaxia?"
Che Zheng'en's gaze fixed sinisterly on Pu Shicheng.
Pu Shicheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Benefactor, I didn't say anything. Elder already saw it."
Che Zheng'en asked in confusion, "Who are you calling Elder?"
Pu Shicheng's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "It's Cheng Xiaofan!"
Che Zheng'en was immediately dumbfounded.
What exactly had Cheng Xiaofan done to Pu Shicheng,
That forced the man surnamed Pu to call him "Elder"!
"Che Zheng'en, you don't believe me, do you?"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "To tell you the truth, you sent Jin Lizhu to Huaxia,"
"After tampering with Lu Yinshuang's ring, she had just arrived at Zhuxi Village when I discovered that the ring was enchanted."
Che Zheng'en asked with some disbelief, "Hmph, since you discovered it, why didn't you take the ring off her hand?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Look at your idiotic face!"
"If I had removed that ring, you wouldn't have been able to steal my Cheng family's divine medicine formula,"
"How could I have come to you today?"
"You have your clever plan, I have my countermeasure!"
Che Zheng'en listened and clearly realized something was wrong, and asked nervously, "Cheng Xiaofan, what do you mean by that?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "The Cheng family's divine medicine that I produce is made from mutated Gastrodia elata and special golden tea. No medicinal ingredient can replace them."
"This is something no one can replicate successfully."
He casually picked up a bottle of Pu family's divine medicine from the office desk.
A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "This is the divine medicine you produced, right?"
"In your eyes, Che Zheng'en, you must have thought you perfectly replicated my Cheng family's divine medicine."
"Indeed, your medicine looks very good. Both in terms of the color of the liquid and the taste, there is no difference from my Cheng family's divine medicine."
"And after drinking it, it can indeed prevent and treat the mutated disease."
"However, within two days, it will produce extremely severe side effects, leading to complete paralysis of the patient!"
"They might even become imbeciles!"
Pu Shicheng's face turned pale with panic upon hearing this, and he cried out, "What? If that's the case, won't my Pu family pharmaceutical group be completely ruined?"
Che Zheng'en shouted hoarsely, "Pu Shicheng, don't believe his words,"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "As far as I know, the first batch of your medicine has already been distributed."
"Those who drank the medicine will start experiencing problems around 3 p.m. today."
"You'll see the real outcome then!"
Pu Shicheng was so scared his face turned ashen.
He hurriedly begged Cheng Xiaofan, "Elder, you are a divine doctor, you must have a way to help me salvage this situation."
"Please help me!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Che Zheng'en.
"Pu Shicheng, why do you believe his words?"
He roared angrily, "This young man from Huaxia is clearly trying to scare you!"
"You're falling for his trick so easily!"
Pu Shicheng also shouted back at him, "Che Zheng'en, what do you know?"
"Elder Cheng's eyes are incredibly sharp. If he says our medicine has a problem, then it definitely has a problem!"
Thinking of Cheng Xiaofan's ability to kill without a trace, and his terrifying observation technique, Pu Shicheng was so angry that he cursed Che Zheng'en's ancestors in his heart.
Che Zheng'en was furious upon hearing this and roared, "You good-for-nothing Pu Shicheng, how dare you call me by my name? Without me, would you have achieved your current success?"
"What kind of mind-altering soup did this surnamed Cheng pour into you?"
Pu Shicheng angrily retorted, "Che Zheng'en, you old dog, don't put on airs with me!"
"You helped me, but I didn't give you less in benefits!"
Che Zheng'en jumped up in anger and yelled furiously, "You surnamed Pu, you dare to talk to me like this, fine, you have guts!"
"From now on, you go your own way, and I'll go my own way!"
"Jin Lizhu, let's go!"
He grabbed Jin Lizhu and was about to leave.
But!
As Che Zheng'en tried to open the door,
No matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't budge.
He turned to Cheng Xiaofan in horror and said, "What did you do to the door,"
"Why won't it move at all?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "It's very simple,"
"I just used a burst of internal energy to lock the door."
"The reason I did this is to keep you and Jin Lizhu here, in Pu Shicheng's office, for a little longer!"
"After all, it's rare that we meet, let's have a good chat!"
Che Zheng'en said, "I have no relationship with you, why should I chat with you!"
Crack!
Cheng Xiaofan sent a slap across the air.
"Ah—"
Che Zheng'en let out a heart-wrenching scream, was sent flying backward with a somersault, and fell heavily to the ground.
Jin Lizhu, who was standing close beside him, was also thrown aside by the whistling palm wind, stumbling and falling to the side, her face drained of color in fear.
"Surnamed Cheng, why did you hit me?"
Che Zheng'en cried out, touching the blood flowing from his nostrils.
Cheng Xiaofan sneered.
He said, "You dared to use dark arts to steal my formula, and you still say you have no relationship with me?"
"If I don't beat you, who should I beat?"
"You..."
Che Zheng'en was speechless.
Cheng Xiaofan said indifferently, "Che Zheng'en, kneel down,"
"Please accept my punishment!"
Che Zheng'en roared, "Cheng Xiaofan, don't go too far!"
"I, Che Zheng'en, am not to be bullied!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "I want to bully you,"
"If you're not convinced, come and bite me!"
"You're seeking death!"
Che Zheng'en's lips trembled with anger,
With a swift movement, he flung a short knife at Cheng Xiaofan.
But!
When the short knife flew to less than half a foot from Cheng Xiaofan,
It seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, floating in mid-air.
"This..."
Che Zheng'en was stunned, "How is this possible?"
Cheng Xiaofan extended his index finger and flicked it lightly.
The short knife changed direction and with a thud, embedded itself in the opposite wall.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and asked, "Che Zheng'en, do you have any other tricks? Make use of this opportunity and try them!"
"..."
Che Zheng'en stood frozen there, his mouth open, but he said nothing.
Cheng Xiaofan's expression turned grim and he said, "You have nothing to say, right?"
"I know you have a hundred and twenty-four points of dissatisfaction in your heart,"
"But, what can you do to me?"
"Since you're unwilling to kneel, then please take my needle!"
