Chapter 341 - 341: No Sale for Less Than Ten Packs

The change was unmistakable.

Shen Lingxue's body had become ethereal and translucent, as if carved from the purest jade.

Her features had grown even more pure and beautiful, like the bright moon and a gentle breeze, as clear as crystal. Her gaze was filled with compassion and wisdom, as if she could see through the essence of all things.

This was a complete rebirth.

"Lingxue, congratulations on becoming a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster!" Jiang Xinghai was both gratified and excited.

"Looks like you've had a breakthrough as well," Shen Lingxue said with a confident smile.

Jiang Xinghai just smiled noncommittally.

They had spent the last three days trying to conceive, and the Yin-Yang Fusion had produced all sorts of unexpected benefits for them both.

"My daughter is amazing!"

"Lingxue is the hope of our Shen Family!"

The faces of the couple, Shen Zhengye and Qiao Huimin, were filled with gratification.

"Oh, right. My cultivation took so long... what's happening with the company?" Shen Lingxue remembered that the Shentu family from Central State had stolen the formula, and she couldn't help but feel worried and a little guilty.

'I can't believe I was out for so long at such a critical time. I must have held things up!'

Jiang Xinghai waved his hand dismissively and recounted everything he knew about what had happened.

"Is that so? 'The road will always appear when you reach the mountain.' That old saying really is true." Shen Lingxue smiled in relief. At this rate, they would hardly need the legal team.

Moreover, public opinion hadn't turned against AM's Anti-Aging Cream.

Immediately, her beautiful eyes landed on Jiang Xinghai. "Then what are we waiting for? You go to Jishan Hall, and I'll handle recruiting new employees overnight."

Jiang Xinghai nodded. "Actually, Uncle and Aunt are already working on hiring new employees. You two can keep discussing it. I'm heading to Jishan Hall."

With that, Jiang Xinghai drove off alone.

He was not only gratified that Shen Lingxue's cultivation had soared, but also relieved.

This way, he could go stay in Central State for a while with peace of mind.

「Jishan Hall.」

Lin Qingyuan was teaching his disciple, Meng Lihua, about various medicinal herbs.

Xue Zhong, meanwhile, was lounging lazily in a Grandmaster's Chair.

As for Shentu Lin, the medicine buyer from the Shentu family of Central State, he seemed somewhat restless and uneasy.

It had been half an hour since his arrival, and he had maintained a humble attitude the entire time.

Aside from his own personality, this was also the behavior of someone asking for a favor.

"Master Xue, I'm really in a hurry. There are still many people in Central State suffering from allergic reactions, and their conditions are terrible. Could you please make another call to hurry things along? Lives are at stake!" Shentu Lin had drunk so many cups of tea that his stomach was about to burst.

"Mr. Shentu, please be patient," Xue Zhong said, his eyes still narrowed to slits.

Shentu Lin could only sigh to himself.

In the last half hour, he had received three calls from his eldest brother, Shentu Shan.

Of the eight people in the operating room, another one's life was now hanging by a thread.

As a result, even with his good temper, Shentu Lin couldn't hold it in any longer.

Several times, he wanted to explode, to threaten the lives of the three people before him.

But in the end, he restrained himself.

"BEEP BEEP!"

Before long, the sound of a car horn came from outside.

Jiang Xinghai opened his car door and got out.

"Shentu Lin, get up and greet him!"

Xue Zhong leaped up from the Grandmaster's Chair and was the first to rush forward. "Master, you're here! Please, sit. I'll pour you some tea."

Jiang Xinghai nodded in acceptance.

"And how should I address you, sir? My name is Shentu Lin, from Central State." Shentu Lin hurriedly stood up.

But an image of President Jiang from the AM Company had already surfaced in his mind!

Yesterday, at the AM Company's press conference for the Anti-Aging Cream, his second brother, Shentu Jie, had argued endlessly with this very man!

"This is my master, Divine Doctor Jiang," Xue Zhong chimed in with a smile.

"So you are the Divine Doctor Jiang! Forgive my disrespect!"

Shentu Lin cupped his fists respectfully, but inside, his mind was in turmoil.

'President Jiang of the AM Company is Divine Doctor Jiang!'

'If I connect the dots...'

'Then doesn't that mean the Anti-Aging Cream formula, the allergic poison... it must all be closely related to Divine Doctor Jiang!'

'Could it be...!'

Thinking about how his second brother, Shentu Jie, had stolen the formula, Shentu Lin looked again at Jiang Xinghai, who was sipping his tea.

'Could it be that Jiang Xinghai knew all along that my second brother was going to steal the formula, so he deliberately left a fake one?'

'And used it to cause a poisoning incident, only to sell the antidote later for a huge profit?'

"Is there something you need?"

Jiang Xinghai took a sip of tea. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Divine Doctor Jiang, I'd like to purchase the antidote for the allergic reactions. This is five hundred thousand in cash."

Shentu Lin pushed all the doubts from his mind and immediately placed his briefcase on the counter, unzipping it to reveal stacks of cash.

"One pack only saves one person."

Jiang Xinghai frowned at Shentu Lin. "I heard there are seven or eight people lying in the operating room. Are you sure you only want to buy one pack?"

"I..."

Shentu Lin quickly explained, "To be honest, we're not yet sure if Jishan Hall's antidote will work. So, we'd like to buy one pack to test it first. If it's effective, I will come back to purchase at least two hundred more packs."

"The minimum is ten packs." It wasn't that Jiang Xinghai was concerned about the money.

He was concerned about whether the people in the operating room could even last until nightfall.
