Chapter 731: Arrogant Researcher

Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Arrogant Researcher

Hearing this, Wu Heng was even more ecstatic.

So it’s true! Wu Yang really is the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard! His last shred of doubt vanished.

But he had no idea that Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan were just spouting nonsense.

After chatting for a little while longer, Wu Heng rose to his feet. "Then I shall visit another day. Thank you for your hospitality."

He was now anxious to return and tell his father about Wu Yang. His younger brother was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard, after all, a position far more valuable than the boss of the Star Shining Society.

Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan saw the two men off from the Martial Arts Association.

"Hahahaha! Heaven is on my side! Heaven is on my side! Who will dare to provoke the Wu Family of Sea City now!"

Once outside, Wu Heng could no longer contain his inner ecstasy and burst into laughter. Wu Xiu and the others also cheered and jumped for joy.

Among the ten great families of Sea City, the Wu Family only ranked in the middle tier. Consequently, the status of third-generation members like Wu Xiu was also average. They were not satisfied with this position; they wanted to become the most powerful young masters in Sea City.

"Dad, it’s a good thing we didn’t let that bastard Yang Qi join our Wu Family. Otherwise, if Third Uncle found out, he would blame us for letting just any riffraff into the family," Wu Xiu said with a smile.

Wu Heng sneered. "That bastard wasn’t even willing to return to the Wu Family. Now, he wouldn’t be allowed to set foot through our door even if he begged on his knees. Besides, he’s just a bastard with no relation to our family. From now on, don’t even mention his name. Just hearing it is annoying."

Wu Heng led the Wu Family back to Sea City in high spirits. Although it was disappointing not to have secured any projects, learning Wu Yang’s true identity was an incredible development.

Upon returning home, he immediately informed Old Master Wu. Old Master Wu initially had his doubts, but now they were completely gone as everything finally connected. If even the boss of the Star Shining Society said Wu Yang was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard, then it had to be true.

Meanwhile, Yang Qi had also returned to the White Mountain Estate in Thunder City. Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan came to see him and brought up the matter with Wu Yang.

Yang Qi laughed. "You actually believed that swindler’s words? Take a look at this."

He showed his badge and credentials as the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard to Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan. "There is only one Deputy Commander of the War God Guard, and that’s me. I asked the War God King; Wu Yang is just a minor instructor from some miscellaneous team in the Western Territory. He’s not worth mentioning."

"Damn, you scared us for a moment! We ended up politely entertaining that bunch of bastards from the Wu Family," Ye Feng said, suddenly at a loss for words.

"No harm done," Yang Qi said with a dismissive wave. "Let them gloat. The more they gloat, the faster their downfall will come. We have our own matters to attend to; there’s no need to worry about them."

He had no intention of explaining anything to the Wu Family. It was all their own wild imagining, after all. He hadn’t said anything misleading. If the Wu Family met with misfortune because of this, they couldn’t blame him.

「At this moment, at Qifei Group.」

Li Qingyan suddenly received a phone call. It was from Sea City’s top pharmaceutical company, Refined Pharmaceutical. They had heard that Qifei Group had recently launched the Beauty Pill, the Body Tempering Pill, and even a Divine Medicine for cancer treatment. They were eager to come and learn, and also wanted to discuss a potential collaboration.

Li Qingyan naturally agreed. Refined Pharmaceutical was one of the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the country. Collaborating with them would be extremely beneficial for the future development of Qifei Group. There was no reason to refuse.

"When will they be here?" Li Qingyan asked.

"They are already on their way and are expected to arrive in an hour," the person on the other end replied.

"Good, we’ll prepare to receive them."

In the pharmaceutical industry, it was best not only to conduct one’s own research but also to cooperate and exchange technological patents for mutual development. With Yao Qing helping her now, Li Qingyan felt much more at ease than before.

No, I have to give Yang Qi a call. The company belongs to his family. For something this important, I have to let him know.

While waiting, Li Qingyan called Yang Qi and explained the situation.

Yang Qi immediately instructed Huang Borren to investigate Refined Pharmaceutical’s background. Huang Borren was incredibly efficient. Within just a few minutes, he had procured a detailed report on the company.

"The Wu Family holds sixty percent of the shares?" Upon seeing this information, Yang Qi immediately frowned.

What good could a company majority-owned by those shameless members of the Wu Family possibly be?

With this thought, a plan began to form, and he decided to check it out personally.

Before Yang Qi could even set out, the representatives from Refined Pharmaceutical had already arrived. The one leading the group was none other than Wang Cong, the CEO of Refined Pharmaceutical Group. The CEO’s personal attendance showed how seriously they were taking Qifei Group.

Naturally, Li Qingyan wouldn’t be neglectful. She went out to greet them, accompanied by Yao Qing and other staff.

This time, Refined Pharmaceutical hadn’t sent many managers, but they had brought a large number of researchers, including their chief researcher.

Hundreds of people... It seems like most of their main researchers have come.

Once these people arrived, they started roaming around, looking shifty-eyed and suspicious.

One researcher, seizing a moment when no one was paying attention, headed straight for the entrance of Qifei Group’s confidential research lab. Just as he was about to enter, a security guard stopped him.

What a joke. This place contains all of Qifei Group’s secrets. What kind of researcher just barges in here the moment they arrive? Are they trying to steal company secrets?

"Sir, this area is restricted. Please leave immediately. Thank you," the security guard said courteously. He was, after all, trained by the Star Shining Society, so his professionalism was impeccable.

"Get lost! You’re just a little security guard, but you’ve got a lot of nerve. How much do you even make in a month? I am the chief researcher at Refined Pharmaceutical. Don’t cause trouble for yourself. If you offend me, one phone call is all it takes to have you out on your ass!" The chief researcher from Refined Pharmaceutical was extremely arrogant, acting as if he were leagues above the guard.

"Did you hear me? My name is Chen Ye," he continued. "Go ahead, ask around. I’m famous throughout the entire Dragon Country! With one phone call, I can make you famous too, but not in a good way. I hope you know what’s good for you."

Faced with this tirade, the security guard was inwardly annoyed, but for the sake of the company, he remained polite. "Researcher Chen Ye, I understand you’re an important person, but this is against company regulations. Please go back. You really cannot enter this area."

SLAP!

Chen Ye was furious. In all of Sea City, no one dared to speak to him like that. For a mere security guard to defy him... he was simply courting death.

He lashed out, slapping the guard across the face.

The security guard’s expression turned grim. But because of his humble position and the family he had to support, he clenched his fists tight but ultimately restrained himself from retaliating.
