Chapter 155: Mass Production!

Can we get in?
Ye Wushang’s eyes lit up!
Suppressing his excitement, he continued to ask, "Second question: tell me, what dirt do you have on the Second Boss?"
"Huh?"
Lü Zhengfeng wore a blank expression, finding the other party harder and harder to understand. "Look here, Brother, why are you going to such lengths to pry into my Qingcheng Taoist Temple's affairs?"
"Could it be that you even want to use the Second Boss to steal the Dragon King's Birthday?"
"This..."
"Rip!"
Ye Wushang struck again.
He drove a blade into the other leg, and blood gushed out once more!
With a heavy thud, Lü collapsed straight to his knees, trembling all over, and blurted out in a rush, "I have it, I have dirt on him!"
"Over the years, acting as the temple's business liaison, he has been lining his own pockets and secretly making a fortune."
"All these dirty deeds were done by me. Fearing that he might sell me out later, I deliberately recorded and filmed all the incriminating evidence."
"It's hidden right now in a cave at the back mountain of the Dragon King's Birthday."
At this point.
Nears tears, he pleaded, "Brother, I've told you everything I know."
"I beg you, spare my life."
"I truly know I was wrong. As long as you let me live, I'm willing to make amends."
"Any amount of money is fine..."
"I have one last question."
Ye Wushang shook his head and asked, "How can I get into the cave you mentioned?"
"This is my identity token. To see the token is to see me; the guards are all my underlings."
With that, Lü Zhengfeng pulled out a token and handed it to Ye Wushang.
Taking it into his hand, Ye Wushang tucked it straight away into his pocket.
With life and death on the line, and the other party displaying such a strong desire to survive, he believed the man was unlikely to be lying.
With this token, he could smoothly retrieve the incriminating evidence from the cave.
He would use it to coerce the Second Boss into helping him secure the Dragon King's Birthday!
Of course.
Once successful, he would still make the man's crimes public!
"Wang Gang, I'll leave the rest to you."
Ye Wushang took a deep breath and walked aside.
Hearing this, Lü Zhengfeng was deeply shocked and panicked, "Brother, didn't you say that if I confessed truthfully, you'd spare my life?"
"Why, why are you handing me over to Wang Gang?!"
"He has a blood feud with me! If you don't protect me, I'm, I'm finished!"
"You gave me your word, how can you go back on it now, you..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Wushang cut him off with a stern shout and said indifferently, "You probably don't know one of my habits."
"When dealing with a gentleman, my word is worth a thousand taels of gold; what I say, I do!"
"But towards a villain, especially scum like you who are worse than pigs and dogs, my words are merely wind passing by the ear—spoken and instantly forgotten!"
"Not killing you with my own hands is already my mercy towards you."
With that said.
He patted Wang Gang on the shoulder and smiled, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Wang Gang."
"No problem at all! Just now I actually thought you were going to protect him, I never expected you were just fooling him!"
Delighted, Wang Gang didn't say another word, hauled Lü Zhengfeng right over to the side!
Wielding a dagger, he stabbed repeatedly!
Howls of agony.
Endless shrieks.
Blood spurted out continuously.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Wushang casually took care of the other two subordinates as well.

Ten minutes later, with the matter settled and some brief pleasantries exchanged, Ye Wushang took a taxi back to Panlong Grand Mansion!
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
"咕咚咕咚..."
As the intense fire cooked the contents, the lid of the tripod cauldron rattled, and white steam billowed.
A rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire room. At the bottom of the cauldron, four or five crystal-clear medicinal pills rolled out one after another.
They looked like pearls, and their aroma resembled fine delicacies, a feast for both the eyes and the senses.
This was a new medicine specially developed for the Lan Group, possessing extremely potent health-preserving properties.
Those with mild illnesses might be completely cured.
Even those with severe conditions could have their illness slowed down, and grave maladies like cancer could be eradicated.
Moreover, the profound internal energy within them meant that without clinical trials, one could already know there were almost no side effects after taking this health tonic!
"Tomorrow is the scheduled day for delivering the new medicine."
"The quality of the medicinal effects is definitely fine, but with a demand of over ten thousand orders, the quantity is a bit of an issue."
"However, given the capabilities of the Lan Group's R&D department, with all the machines operating together, mass-producing them before tomorrow's delivery deadline should not be a problem."
At this thought.
Ye Wushang immediately picked up his phone and dialed Lan Ruoxue's number.
"Hello, President Lan..."
"Ye Wushang, do you really have nothing better to do with your time?"
"We are already divorced, would you please stop calling me when there's nothing going on?"
"I am really annoyed right now!"
Before he could finish, Lan Ruoxue's exasperated voice came from the other end of the line.
Her tone was unkind, even laced with vexation.
Yet, upon closer listening, one could sense that her current emotional state was frantic, filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Clearly, it was related to the development of the new medicine.
"If I weren't the supervisor sent by the An family, I would never call you."
It was understandable that she felt irritated, but there was no need to vent her anger on him.
Ye Wushang said solemnly, "I called you to tell you that I have already developed the new medicine. The quality is without issue, but the quantity requires processing equipment on your end. I've calculated the time: starting from now, if we work overtime day and night, we can meet the demand for tomorrow's orders."
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Lan Ruoxue was immensely startled and cried out in shock, "You, you've actually made the new medicine?"
"That's right..."
"How is that possible!"
Lan Ruoxue said bitterly, "As everyone knows, to develop a new medicine, one must first compare and analyze core data."
"Yet the core data was taken away by Zhang Yanhong. Given her animosity with Xue Kaichen, it's impossible she'd hand it over to you. How could you possibly..."
"I've already taken care of that matter."
"You don't need to worry about the specifics. I'm heading to the Lan Group right now to bring the medicine to the R&D department so they can mass-produce it overnight..."
"Ye Wushang!"
Before he could finish, Lan Ruoxue suddenly became emotionally agitated, raising her voice almost to a roar, "Would you please stop playing games with me?"
"I am already at my wit's end, why must you add to my chaos?"
"First of all, Zhang Yanhong would never give you the core data."
"Secondly, even if she did, with your ability, it's impossible for you to produce a proper health supplement."
"Medical skills do not equal pharmaceutics. Can the medicine you made even be eaten?"
"What if it kills someone?"
"I'd rather the Lan Group's reputation suffer than face a lawsuit!"
"I've already changed the sales plan. Drop this subject!"
Beep, beep!
After shouting, without giving Ye Wushang any chance to retort, she hung up the phone directly!
Ye Wushang called back repeatedly, but she refused to answer.
In the end, she simply turned off her phone!
"Foolish woman!"
Ye Wushang let out a rough shout, gripping his phone so tightly he almost dropped it to the floor!

Inhaling and exhaling deeply to calm his racing mind, he gradually regained his composure.
"True."
"If Lan Ruoxue really trusted me and had any vision, our marriage wouldn't have reached this point today."
"Still, even if I don't consider her, I must consider An Lan."
"This new medicine development is of utmost importance. If there is any mishap, it will lead to incalculable consequences."
Ye Wushang was resolute: the launch of the new medicine had to happen!
Since Lan Ruoxue refused to trust him, he had no choice but to find another way!
He had originally thought of looking for An Lan, but remembering her drinking away her sorrows at the noodle shop, especially the harsh scolding from her good friend Su Xiaoding, made him hesitate.
At this point, he didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
He wanted to resolve it independently.
The only remaining possibility was Grandpa Tu.
Thinking of this, he quickly dialed Grandpa Tu's number!
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
Grandpa Tu said respectfully.
Hearing the sound of DJ music playing from the other end of the line, Ye Wushang frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to properly plan for the food ingredients competition?"
"Judging by your background music, it sounds like you're at some bar?"
"Ah, yes, a music bar under my banner."
"But I'm not here to slack off; I'm preparing for the food ingredients competition. I needed someone to develop some medicinal diets for us to taste beforehand, to ensure your younger sister has a better chance of winning against the other competitors, you see."
"Medicinal diet?"
"Music?"
"These two completely unrelated things, what on earth are you talking about?"
Ye Wushang was left bewildered.
Grandpa Tu chuckled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Ye, you might not know this, but the most unlikely place is the safest place."
"My music bar has a basement equipped with many pharmaceutical machines, usually used for researching medicinal diets. However, some of the ingredients placed down there might be somewhat restricted, so we do it on the sly."
"Rest assured, though, I've never used it for anything illegal or illicit; it's just that my old man happens to fancy this kind of thing."
Hearing this, Ye Wushang's eyes involuntarily lit up.
Was this handing him a pillow just as he felt sleepy?
He had been worrying about lacking pharmaceutical machines for mass production, only to find out Grandpa Tu actually had them.
According to his description, the equipment was not only advanced but also abundant in quantity.
Producing over ten thousand health pills in a single night should pose no problem at all.
"Mr. Ye?"
Seeing that Ye Wushang remained silent, Grandpa Tu grew terrified that the other man might overthink things, and hastily said, "I really am not lying to you, I swear to you, I'm telling the truth."
"If you don't believe me, I..."
"Tell me the address of your bar. I have a few pills on hand that need mass production. That's fine, right?"
Hearing this, Grandpa Tu was startled and instinctively asked, "Mr. Ye, could it be that you've already made the newly developed medicine?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me!"
Terrified, Grandpa Tu rushed out, "Yes, it's in the Jiangbei District at Sanlukou, named 'Little White Rabbit Music Showground'."
"What kind of name is that..."
Ye Wushang frowned and said, "Alright, I know. Wait for me there, I'm coming over right now."
"Also, about the matter regarding Peng Haidong and Huang Yuanxiang that I asked you to look into last time, you'll need to fill me in on all of it later."
With that.
He hung up the phone, tidied up the room briefly, and carrying a few sample pills, hurried off to the bar!
