Chapter 334 - 334: The Entire Network Is Broadcasting a Video of the Stolen Formula

「At the same time.」

Jizhou, the Shen Family residence.

Jiang Xinghai was on his phone and naturally saw the scene unfold as well.

A cold smirk touched his lips. 'Hmph. The Shentu Family actually dared to alter my master's formula. Now, I won't even have to lift a finger before they go bankrupt.'

If the Anti-aging Gel had the same color as the Anti-Aging Cream, it would have meant the Shentu Family had truly succeeded in replicating it.

But!

The Shentu Family wanted to change the color for better market appeal.

They had been too clever for their own good!

Jiang Xinghai had once told Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun that the Anti-Aging Cream's dark brown color was simply the concentrated essence of its medicinal herbs.

But with their Anti-aging Gel, the Shentu Family had arbitrarily extracted that essence and added high-tech polymer materials to create a milky-white gel. This had completely destroyed the formula's balance!

As the saying goes, all medicine has its side effects.

The Anti-Aging Cream's formula contained as many as thirty-six traditional Chinese herbs that worked in harmony, providing gentle conditioning without producing a single trace of toxins.

As for the Anti-aging Gel, without the dark brown concentrated essence, it would produce toxins.

The most obvious effect would be a severe allergic reaction on any area where the Anti-aging Gel was applied!

Moreover, this allergic reaction wouldn't appear immediately. It would take at least six hours.

And only a handful of disciples from his Kunlun lineage, himself included, possessed the cure for an allergic reaction of this severity!

That was why his cold smirk was laced with delight.

With this, the Shentu Family would inevitably become public enemy number one, thrown into the eye of the storm.

He then dialed Xue Zhong's number.

"Master, you're watching the livestream too, aren't you?" Xue Zhong asked, a bit nervously.

"Old Xue, I'll list them out, you write them down. There are seven medicinal herbs. Grind them into a powder quickly, package them in five-gram bags, and mass-produce five kilograms. Tell Elder Lin this is Jishan Hall's chance to make a fortune. And don't leak a word of this, okay?" Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.

Although Xue Zhong didn't understand what Jiang Xinghai was planning, he still nodded firmly and followed his instructions to the letter.

「Meanwhile.」

Central State, Youmei Company.

On the red stage, in front of cameras from all the major media outlets, a procession of beautiful models showed off their stunning figures.

"Everyone, have you seen the effects of the Anti-aging Gel?"

Shentu Jie stood at the center of the stage, gesturing first toward the models behind him, then to the media's cameras.

"The Anti-aging Gel has a gentle color. It looks even more effective than the Anti-Aging Cream!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Shentu, what is the price of the Anti-aging Gel?"

"I think even if it's more expensive than AM's Anti-Aging Cream, it would still be affordable. After all, I absolutely love the look of it based on the color alone."

In response to the reporters' questions, Shentu Jie held up a hand, forming the number eight. "Rest assured, everyone. Youmei Company has always aimed to serve the public. The price is only 88 yuan."

"88 yuan!"

"That's even cheaper than the Anti-Aging Cream!"

"That price is very consumer-friendly!"

"Mr. Shentu, this is the distributorship proposal from my Qiu Family. Please take a look."

"Mr. Shentu, I am from the Ma Family of Yan City. We have over five billion in assets and are already distributors for three international brands. This is our Ma Family's proposal to become a distributor. Please consider it carefully."

One after another, many people handed their proposals to Shentu Jie.

But Shentu Jie's gaze kept drifting, intentionally or not, toward Yu Lina in the crowd.

Based on overall strength, the Yu Family of the Provincial City was the only candidate he truly wanted.

However, Yu Lina had just become a distributor for AM Company yesterday. How could she go back on her word?

She wouldn't entertain the idea of becoming a distributor for Youmei's Anti-aging Gel because of that.

It was a matter of personal principle, and also a cornerstone of how the Yu Family of the Provincial City had gotten to where they were today.

"Huh? Did the internet go out?" an influencer suddenly cried out in frustration.

"Oh no! My phone lost its connection too!"

"What the heck is going on!?"

"My millions of fans are all asking me to post the link!"

In an instant, more and more people, including the reporters from major media outlets, discovered that all their network devices were completely down.

Seeing this, Shentu Jie had a bad feeling and immediately checked his own phone.

Sure enough, his internet was out too!

It wasn't just one person's problem.

"Everyone, don't worry. It's just that our Youmei Anti-aging Gel launch is so popular it's causing network congestion. It should be back in a moment."

Shentu Jie forced himself to remain calm and immediately sent someone to look into the problem.

「One minute later.」

"It's back! It's back!"

"It's finally back. I hope it doesn't go out again!"

Everyone's devices reconnected to the network, and they immediately prepared to re-enter their livestreams.

But just as everyone opened their livestream apps, the same short video suddenly started playing on their phones.

The video showed a masked man in black clothes furtively entering an office. He then pried open a safe with his bare hands, ignored the money and jewelry inside, and took only a single A4-sized sheet of paper!

The entire process lasted less than thirty seconds.

Someone paused the video and saw a line of large text on the A4 paper: Beginner's Anti-Aging Cream!
