Stealing the Su Family's medicine recipe was a plan the Li Family had been scheming for years!
Now that they had finally pushed the Su Family into a corner, with the family on the brink of collapse, his mission would be complete. Once the Su Corporation fell, the Li Family would take over all of the Su Family's industries and leap to become the number one pharmaceutical company in Cloud City.
At the same time, the higher-ups would surely reward him handsomely, and his life would soar to new heights!
No, he absolutely could not allow the Su Family's ointment to produce the effects it was supposed to.
Thinking this, Li Zhong's arm twitched, and he reached out to quickly wipe off the ointment with his other hand.
But Ye Fan had anticipated Li Zhong's move and had already instructed Xia Hao to have Wang Fugui stand beside Li Zhong.
As soon as Li Zhong tried to make his move, Wang Fugui grabbed his arm like a vice, "Patriarch of the Li Family, what's wrong, feeling thirsty? Shall I give you a drink?"
Wang Fugui now possessed strength beyond the Grandmaster Realm, and his control over Martial Arts Qi had reached a new level.
As he held onto Li Zhong's shoulder, the Qi Force paralyzed Li Zhong's entire body, making it impossible for him to even move a finger.
"No... I'm not thirsty..."
Li Zhong was somewhat intimidated by Wang Fugui.
Because Wang Fugui, known as the simple giant, was a normal person, but in reality, he was not much better than the then fool, Ye Fan!
If Ye Fan commanded him to kill him right now, Wang Fugui would probably not hesitate to drag his Battle Saber and do it.
Both were devils, oh the agony in his heart!
Despite his extreme anxiety, Li Zhong dared not say another word and could only watch the wound on his arm heal at a visible speed.
In less than five minutes, the wound on Li Zhong's arm had nearly completely healed from the outside.
Lei Qianjue brought over a towel and started wiping off the ointment from Li Zhong's arm, little by little.
Everyone's eyes widened as they carefully watched the screen ahead.
Su Yixue on the stage, as well as Li Zhong and a few others, looked towards their arms.
A brand new, incredibly fair arm appeared in front of everyone.
It was as if it had been bleached, the color much rosier and tender compared to the surrounding skin.
The wound that everyone had just witnessed was gone without a trace, leaving no scars whatsoever.
At this point, Wang Fugui had already let go of Li Zhong, who checked his arm over and over in disbelief, unable to find a single trace of the wound.
"This... this is impossible, utterly impossible..."
Li Zhong ruthlessly scratched his arm a few times, trying to find the wound he had just before, but still found nothing.
"No way! You must have used some Blinding Technique, or is it some kind of magic trick?" Li Zhong was close to tears; he had prepared everything today, ready to bring down the Su Family. How did it end up with him on stage, playing the part of the Su Family's "plant"?
If Li Zhong hadn't come to the stage personally, he definitely would have believed this was a plant hired by the Su Family!
Li Zhong rolled his arm back and forth, and under the close-up shot of the camera, the large screen at the venue showed a stout arm rolling non-stop, with everyone seeing it clearly.
If it were anyone else on stage, everyone would have suspicions!
But now it was the Patriarch of the Li Family himself, the sworn enemy who stole the Su Family's medicine recipe. If there were any flaws in the ointment, Li Zhong would have jumped out immediately.
The effect was so astounding that everyone present was shocked into silence.
Boom!
The crowd began to erupt, and those groups and companies that hadn't yet paid a deposit scrambled towards the Su Family partnership registration desk like mad.
"My Tianhong Group will pay a deposit of 1 billion!"
"My Haiyue Group will pay a deposit of 800 million!"
"My Haiyue Group will pay a deposit of 1 billion and is willing to share all distribution channels!"
...
The effects of such a miraculous ointment on the market are all too clear to everyone.
This is at least a trillion-dollar market, and to get involved is to pick up money—anyone who stands in the way of their cooperation is blocking their road to wealth!
The scene was so explosive that all the media extended their microphones towards Su Yixue.
"President Su, how did you pull this off? Was the announcement of the stolen recipe a blinding technique?"
"President Su, may I ask if it's because you announced your marriage to Ye Fan that you've had this good fortune?"
"Divine Doctor Lei, a moment of your time, please. Is there a chance for the young master of the Ye Family to awaken?"
The event was far more intense than Li Zhong had anticipated.
Stuck on the stage like a fool out of his depth, Li Zhong didn't know whether to stand up or sit down.
Li Zhong glanced over at Liu Ran's representative offstage, a shadow of gloom flickering in his eyes.
Hmph!
Su Yixue, since you won't let me have my way, then no one shall have it easy!
To deal with the Su Family, Li Zhong and Liu Ran's representative didn't just prepare a single tactic.
"President Su, don't get too excited just yet! As far as I'm aware, you still owe a lot of money to various distributors, don't you? Does your company's accounts have that much money right now? Besides, if all the distributors won't work with you, no matter how good your products are, how are you going to sell them?"
Li Zhong laughed darkly twice, "Let's not forget, the Su Family is now very close with the Ye Family. With the Ye Family being suppressed, the Su Family will definitely suffer! Can any of you guarantee that you'll make that money?"
This was a concern that everyone shared. Many had come today just to see how the Su Family would face the crisis at hand.
By bringing this crisis to the forefront, Li Zhong essentially magnified the Su Family's plight, making it clearer for all to see.
Some companies and groups who had been impulsive earlier began to hesitate.
Indeed!
The Su Family's products are fantastic, but what good is making money if you can't live to spend it?
Below, the distributors arranged by Li Zhong and Liu Ran's representative once again started to stir up trouble, "President Su! It's not that we lack goodwill, but the situation is rather complicated! President Su, please settle our accounts!"
"Right! President Su, I also want to settle the one billion yuan owed from the previous order!"
"And my fifty million yuan debt!"
Guided by the distributors set up by Li Zhong and Liu Ran, the scene once again flipped, with hundreds of distributors wanting to terminate their partnership with the Su Family and demanding their payments back.
Some groups that had been considering cooperation with the Su Family also began to waver!
It was at this moment that a young man stood up, "Damn it! Are you all out of your minds? Mr. Lei himself has shown support, what's there to fear? Just a little debt, isn't it? Laotzu Guo Li will pay off the whole debt for the Su Family… If you won't cooperate then don't, at worst the Guo Family will join forces with Old Master Xia, take over all the Su Family's distribution channels. Anyone who keeps yapping, Laotzu will beat the crap out of you!"
A brusque voice caused everyone in the audience to be taken aback, all turning to look at the young man below!
The Guo Family from Provincial City?
Yet another powerful family siding with the Su Family?
Spurred by Guo Li's reminder, those groups and companies wanting to cooperate immediately realized what this meant and exploded, "That's right! Regardless of the suppression, this ointment is like picking up money. Damn, I almost missed out on this opportunity to make a fortune... Let's fight the bastards..."
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, hundreds of people at the scene erupted into action, beating up those who were clamoring for money, the dissenting distributors!
It was nearly three or four against one!
In the blink of an eye!
All opposition quieted down, and this scene left Li Zhong and Liu Ran's representative, Qin Tao, completely dumbfounded...
What's going on?
Why does it feel like the whole world is against me?
Are they really forcing me to play my trump card?
