Xue An flashed a nonchalant smile, neither confirming nor denying.
At this moment, Shu Liu and Shu He both stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Xue An.
“Thank you, sir, for the gift of medicine!”
Xue An spoke indifferently, “Now, do you believe?”
Shu Liu’s face flushed red, ashamedly saying, “Mr. Xue, I’m sorry, it was my limited knowledge, I am truly sorry!”
Gao Shengnan sized up Xue An with curious eyes from the side.
She had thought Xue An would be an elderly man with grey hair, or perhaps a refined scholar.
But she didn’t expect Xue An to be so young.
This piqued Gao Shengnan’s intense interest.
The group was about to enter the factory.
An Audi drove over, arrogantly stopping right at the factory entrance.
Then, a well-dressed, arrogant-faced middle-aged man got out of the car.
Upon seeing this person, Shu Liu’s expression turned dark.
The man glanced over the people present and then set his sights on Shu Liu.
“Miss Shu, have you thought it through? Keep in mind that with each passing day, the Chi Family’s offer will decrease by five percent. Time is gold!”
Hearing this, Shu Liu snorted coldly, and Shu He stepped forward with furrowed brows, “Aren’t you afraid of retribution for the Chi Family’s actions like this?”
The man looked Shu He over and sneered, “Who are you? Retribution? In Zhongdu, our Chi Family is the retribution!”
Shu He laughed out of sheer anger, “I am the founder of this factory, Shu He!”
On hearing this, the man was slightly startled, “You’re not… about to die?”
Shu He responded with a cold laugh, “I might still be brought back to life by the actions of your Chi Family!”
The man chuckled, then said with disdain, “Even if you are Shu He, what of it? Let me tell you, our young master of the Chi Family has taken a fancy to this factory. Those who know what’s good for them will leave quickly, or you and your grandson will end up with a destroyed home and lost lives!”
Shu He trembled with rage.
And at that moment, Xue An stepped forward, “You’re from the Chi Family?”
“Correct, I am the steward of the Chi Family, my name is Chi Shi,” the man replied proudly.
Xue An nodded, “As expected, a name befitting the person,” he said.
The people couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh, and Chi Shi’s face darkened.
“Kid, I hope you realize who you’re talking to!”
Xue An nodded, “Of course I’m aware, and there’s something I hope you relay to your young master of the Chi Family.”
“What’s that?”
“This factory of the Shu family, I’ve claimed it. It’s useless for anyone else to come. My word is final,” Xue An declared calmly.
Chi Shi’s expression darkened, and then he scoffed, “You say so, who do you think you are? Kid, get out now, and I may spare you, otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what?” Xue An tilted his head and said coolly.
“Otherwise, I won’t spare you right now!” Chi Shi said coldly.
Xue An smiled, a smile without a ripple.
“Very well,” Xue An nodded, “Some people indeed do not realize respect until they see blood.”
Chi Shi, filled with disdain, was about to speak when a breeze blew by. He felt a coolness on his head, touched it, and found it covered in fresh blood.
Only then did Chi Shi realize that one of his ears had been sliced off.
Shivering with pain, Chi Shi said, “You…”
Xue An stated calmly, “If you don’t leave, every ten seconds, another part of you will say goodbye. Do you understand?”
Chi Shi jumped up and then fled to the car like a shot, speeding away with a slam of the gas pedal.
After he left,
Shu Liu and Shu He both sighed in relief, then looked at Xue An with reverent gazes.
Only Gao Wenyen was unsurprised by this.
Could a person who could bring the dead back to life with miraculous medicine be simple?
Back in the office, everyone gathered around.
Xue Anchong said to Shu Liu, “We will take over the factory now; the money will be transferred to your account shortly.”
Shu Liu looked at her grandfather, Shu He, who nodded slightly, then they all stood up and said respectfully, “Mr. Xue, we’ve discussed it, and we’ve decided we don’t want the money!”
“Oh?” Xue An raised an eyebrow.
Shu Liu took a step forward, “Mr. Xue, if we use this factory to take shares, would that be acceptable?”
A long silence ensued.
Both Shu Liu and Shu He’s expressions kept changing, especially Shu Liu, who was constantly biting her silver teeth, feeling very apprehensive inside.
Finally.
Xue An nodded, “Good!”
Shu Liu was overjoyed.
And at that moment, Gao Wenyen stood up with a serious expression, “Predecessor, if that’s the case, the lineage of the Gao family is also willing to participate!”
Xue An quietly watched Gao Wenyen.
Gao Wenyen hastily added, “Of course, I won’t take shares for nothing. Although I have wasted decades of my life, I still have some insight into the medical field. I can contribute all my secret prescriptions without asking for anything in return…”
As Gao Wenyen spoke, his voice grew softer because the look in Xue An’s eyes was full of amusement.
Gao Wenyen couldn’t help but flush with embarrassment, “Of course… I also want to see what exactly makes up this miraculous medicine!”
Then Gao Wenyen said solemnly, “Mr. Xue, please rest assured. Although Gao Wenyen is not highly skilled, my character is still decent. I am just curious about how this miraculous medicine is made and will definitely not reveal any secrets. If I break this oath, may lightning strike me down!”
Xue An cast his eyes down.
A hint of disappointment flickered across Gao Wenyen’s face, but he still bowed respectfully, “The disciple understands, I was presumptuous…”
Before he could finish, Xue An nodded, “It’s possible!”
Gao Wenyen was startled.
Not only him, but everyone else was stunned as well.
Xue An leaned back in his chair, toying with a pencil in his hand, and smiled, “This thing is a treasure to you, but to me, it’s nothing more than bricks and tiles. What’s the harm even if you know?”
With that, Xue An casually wrote something on a piece of paper and tossed it to Gao Wenyen.
Gao Wenyen, as if having grasped a treasure, looked down but was then startled, and raised his head to look at Xue An with surprise.
Xue An smiled, “Do you find it very ordinary?”
Gao Wenyen nodded.
Xue An stood up and walked to the window, speaking indifferently, “Do you know why I chose this factory?”
“Because this place has a Yin meridian!”
In Zhongdu, the Chi Family.
After listening to Chi Shi’s tearful complaints, Chi Changge leaned back on the sofa, his thoughts unknown.
After a while, he gestured dismissively, “I understand, you may leave!”
Chi Shi left sobbing.
But Chi Changge lifted his head, his eyes filled with resentment.
Xue An!
It’s you again!
Are you deliberately opposing me, Chi Changge?
I’ve already endured your taking away An Yan.
Now are you going to snatch away this factory as well?
Do you really think the Chi family has no one?
Chi Changge’s face fluctuated between light and dark.
Then he walked into the inner room.
An old man with the appearance of a fierce ghost was meditating in a cross-legged posture.
Chi Changge knelt down respectfully, “Master, there has been a change!”
The old man slowly opened his eyes, which were entirely filled with a ghostly fire.
“What is it?”
“Someone has snatched away the pharmaceutical factory you were interested in!” Chi Changge said.
The old man’s face shook, “Who? Is it the descendant of some famous establishment?” fear tinged his voice.
Chi Changge shook his head, “It’s a man who hasn’t been in Zhongdu for long. His name is Xue An!”
Chi Changge then roughly recounted Xue An’s situation.
After listening, the old man let out a hideous cackle.
“He’s just a martial artist with some fighting skills. It just so happens that I’ve been lacking fresh blood for my meals. He’s courting death on his own, so he can’t blame me!”
