Chapter 165: The New Drug Has Arrived!

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

"Time is up."

The citizens finished signing their names.

Pei Huaide glanced at the time, the corners of his lips curling upwards as he looked mockingly at Ye Wushang, "Ye Wushang, where is your medicine?"

Ye Wushang opened his eyes and looked around, but there was no sign of Master Tu.

Panic instantly gripped him.

Subconsciously, he pulled out his phone, "Let me make a call first..."

"Make your ass!"

Pei Qinghu sneered, "These ten minutes were bought with the future of the An and Lan families."

"Still trying to stall for time?"

"Fine, put up some more stakes."

"If you don't have any, we will proceed according to our previous agreement!"

Ye Wushang remained silent.

Seeing him at his wit's end, An Lan sighed and comforted him, "It's alright, Wushang. I know you've done your best."

"Lanlan, you are truly oblivious."

Su Xiaoding stamped her foot in exasperation.

As for Zhao Xiue and her two daughters, they were utterly heartbroken.

Right at this moment, the senior executives of the corporation had already brought out the corresponding documents for filing bankruptcy.

"President Huang, it's your turn to play your part."

Catching Pei Huaide's gaze, Peng Haidong nudged Huang Yuanxiang's arm and reminded him.

Huang Yuanxiang sighed; he couldn't understand why Ye Wushang had chosen to do this.

However, he had a leverage held by the other party, and Ye Wushang had also made a public promise.

Since it had not been fulfilled, he had no choice but to step forward and inspect the documents prepared by the Lan Family Corporation.

"Deputy Chief, please take this piece of trash away to the police station for a rigorous interrogation."

Pei Huaide gave a subtle look.

Fu Fei understood immediately, waved his hand, and two police officers instantly stepped forward to pin him down.

"Kid, you'd better behave yourself."

"We know you have some martial arts skills, but if you dare to make any reckless moves, we will shoot you on the grounds of openly resisting the law!"

Having suffered at Ye Wushang's hands before, the two officers glared with fierce hostility and barked harshly.

Ye Wushang's expression was grave, and he did not resist.

He had not expected that Master Tu truly wouldn't show up.

Given his understanding of the man, he shouldn't have broken his promise.

Whatever could have delayed him, he could have at least made a phone call to explain.

Things had reached this point; despite the suffocating frustration in his heart, he was helpless.

"Take him away!"

At Fu Fei's command, as Ye Wushang was about to be dragged off—

Zhao Xiue and her daughters felt a deep loathing for him.

Su Xiaoding was trying to comfort An Lan.

Meanwhile, the other citizens, especially Pei Huaide and his cohort, wore mocking sneers, thinking the dust had settled—

"Screech!"

The piercing sound of sudden braking shattered the air.

With a loud bang, a car door was yanked open, and a bruised and battered Master Tu stumbled toward them, shouting as he ran, "Mr. Ye! Mr. Ye!"

Ye Wushang was startled, overjoyed, and looked toward the voice!

The car he had driven was severely deformed, clearly having been in a serious traffic accident.

And Master Tu himself was covered in injuries, blood spurting from his wounds. As he ran forward, he limped heavily, looking in extremely poor condition!

At the same time, four or five underlings quickly piled out of the neighboring vehicles, each carrying a medical kit, rushing over at top speed.

"Let go of me!"

Ye Wushang barked roughly.

The two officers were stunned and coldly said, "Let go of you?"

"You are currently a criminal suspect, you—"

"Get lost!"

With a surge of inner force, Ye Wushang directly repelled the two of them.

Seeing this, Fu Fei frowned and scolded, "Ye Wushang, do you dare to openly resist the law?"

"My medicine has arrived, how is this resisting the law?"

Ye Wushang strode forward.

He caught Master Tu just as the old man was about to collapse, and asked with deep concern, "Master Tu, what on earth happened to you?"

"Don't even mention it, Mr. Ye. I should have arrived much earlier, but I got into a car accident, and then someone came to assassinate me."

"Their sole purpose was to prevent me from coming, and they also wanted to seize our new medicine."

"What?"

Ye Wushang was greatly startled, his face turning dark as he asked, "Who did this?"

"Thud!"

Just as his voice fell, a crisp sound echoed, and a figure was shoved straight out of the van.

Taking a closer look, they realized it was Qi Tianfang!

"It was this punk."

Master Tu pointed at Qi Tianfang, breathing heavily, "First he rammed my car, and then he sent assassins to intercept me."

"If my brothers hadn't risked their lives to protect me, I wouldn't have made it here at all."

"Because of this, two of my brothers are dead, and three are severely wounded in the hospital."

"They urged me to seek medical attention first, but I knew this batch of new medicine was of utmost importance to you."

"Even if it costs me my life, I, Master Tu, had to deliver it to you first..."

"Blech!"

Overcome with emotion, Master Tu's chest heaved, and he spat out a mouthful of dark blood.

"Don't speak anymore!"

A true man does not shed tears lightly.

But at this moment, the corners of Ye Wushang's eyes grew moist, deeply moved by Master Tu's absolute loyalty and brotherhood.

"Here, take this Qi-Blood Pill first."

Ye Wushang produced a medicinal pill he had refined that morning and fed it to him.

Then he instructed two underlings to help Master Tu aside to rest.

Immediately afterward, he strode forward like a hawk capturing a chicken, hoisted the battered Qi Tianfang up by his collar, and flung him right in front of the crowd!

"Qi Tianfang?"

Seeing who it was, Su Xiaoding was greatly shocked.

An Lan was even more incredulous, asking suspiciously, "Wushang, what is going on here?"

"I formulated the new medicine yesterday and handed it over to Master Tu for mass production at the White Rabbit Music Club."

"The production was already finished, and we had agreed he would deliver it at nine-thirty. But he was ambushed halfway—and it was all Qi Tianfang's doing!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoding asked in astonishment, "You mean, he tried to stop you from bringing the new medicine?"

"Exactly."

Ye Wushang nodded, "Because of what happened yesterday, he must hate me to the core and vented all his grievances on me."

"But to calculate the time and location and pull this off, someone must have been pulling the strings behind the scenes."

With that, he cast a sideways glance toward Bei Chaonan.

Bei Chaonan's body stiffened, and he slumped back into his chair.

He was gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with venomous malice.

Damn it, how could this Master Tu be so hard to kill? Not only did he survive, but he actually managed to bring the new medicine here?

After being beaten last night, he had gone to the hospital for treatment, but had sent people to stake out the bar.

Seeing Master Tu acting suspiciously, he had sought out Qi Tianfang and conspired to seize the opportunity.

Although he didn't really believe that piece of trash could formulate any good medicine, he wanted his revenge today.

To prevent any accidents, he had arranged several assassins for Qi Tianfang to launch an ambush halfway.

Yet now...

"Bang!"

Furious, Su Xiaoding kicked Qi Tianfang hard in the stomach, "Bastard, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

"It's not like that, Xiaoding, actually I—"

"What more do you have to say?!"

An Lan delivered another kick, roaring, "I used to treat you as a friend, yet you would stoop to such a despicable, subhuman act."

"You're the young master of the Qi family, you are a complete disgrace to your family!"

"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind you?"

"I, I..."

Qi Tianfang trembled, subconsciously glancing toward Bei Chaonan.

Bei Chaonan's heart skipped a beat, but before he could speak, Pei Huaide suddenly chimed in, "Are you trying to stall for time again, kid?"

"Is there actually any new medicine or not? If not—"

"Men, bring the new medicine up!"

Ye Wushang shouted explosively.

The underlings carried forward more than a dozen cases filled with thousands of units of medicine.

The medicine crates were stained with blood, a chilling sight to behold.

"Click! Click!"

As the cases were popped open, neatly arranged rows of pharmaceuticals were revealed to everyone's eyes.

The crowd swarmed forward, chattering and discussing animatedly.

"It really is medicine."

"It smells quite fragrant, though the ingredients seem to be mostly traditional Chinese herbs."

"So many medicines, and he made all of this in just a few days?"

"This, this is simply miraculous!"

Not just the citizens, but even Pei Huaide and his cohorts were dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that this piece of trash wasn't lying, but had actually pulled it off?

"How could this be?"

Pei Qinghu shook his head, finding it hard to believe.

Pei Huaide and Peng Haidong exchanged glances, their expressions turning ashen to the extreme.

As for Huang Yuanxiang, who had been coerced into this position, seeing Ye Wushang fulfill his promise made him heave a long sigh of relief.

This Ye Wushang truly had not disappointed him.

Turning decay into magic—that phrase seemed tailor-made for him.

"Sis, look, look! The medicine is really here!"

Lan Ruoshuang was overjoyed, continuously nudging her older sister.

Lan Ruoxue stared at the scene in utter bewilderment. The brand-new medications were rich in aroma and met the required quantity completely.

Ye Wushang had actually done what he said he would.

And yet, just moments before, she had been questioning him, complaining about him...

Her pretty face instantly flushed red with intense shame.

"Wushang, you actually..."

"Ye Wushang, you're amazing."

Before anyone else could speak, Su Xiaoding burst into a loud laugh, casting a pointed glance at Lan Ruoxue, implying much more than her words. "No wonder my Lanlan values you so much. You actually have real substance, unlike certain people who are surrounded by a priceless treasure yet are too blind to recognize it, capable of doing nothing besides accusing and scolding others!"

"Hey, what are you implying?"

Lan Ruoshuang retorted.

Su Xiaoding snorted, "What I'm implying, you know well enough in your hearts."

"When not a single person believed in Ye Wushang just now, only Lanlan placed her absolute, unreserved trust in him."

"She even risked the future of the An family as a wager. And what about you? What did you do? Don't you feel any shame?"

"You!"

"Shut up."

An Lan glared at Lan Ruoshuang. She knew these two sisters inside and out.

There was no need to bicker with them. Instead, it was Ye Wushang who had once again left her utterly amazed.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she grabbed Ye Wushang's arm and wept tears of joy, asking, "How on earth did you manage this? Tell me right now."

"When I ran into you last night, I felt something was off. So you went to Master Tu to mass-produce the new medicine, but why didn't you come to me?"

Ye Wushang chuckled wryly, waving his hand, "You were in a bad mood back then, and I didn't want to add to your stress."

"Originally, I did call President Lan, but she hung up on me directly. I had no other choice but to find Master Tu."

"Fortunately, he had some pharmaceutical equipment in his possession; though a bit run-down, it barely sufficed."

"Otherwise, there's no way I could have produced tens of thousands of pills overnight."

Hearing this, Lan Ruoxue's face burned even hotter, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Turns out, when he had called her to say the new medicine was ready, it was the absolute truth.

And he had come to her to mass-produce the medicine so the required volume would be met.

Yet not only had she ignored him, she had even hung up the call on him.

By comparison, she had turned out to be the petty villain.

"Well, President Pei, do you still have anything to say now?"

After listening to Ye Wushang's explanation, An Lan regained her full confidence, raising her chin to look at Pei Huaide, "Wushang has brought out the new medicine as promised, so you—"

"So what if he brought it out? Can it actually be used? Does it actually cure anything? Who knows?"

Bei Chaonan slammed his hand on the table and said coldly.
