I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Clap clap clap—"

"You bastard! How could you do something like this? Is your brain filled with shit?"

"How could someone as stupid as you exist? I seriously doubt if you're even my biological son!"

"Snap—"

Zhu Cheng'an's face twisted in rage as he wielded the Seven Wolves sword, striking Zhu Yanghe repeatedly.

Zhu Yanghe knelt on the ground, wincing in pain, but kept his head down, not daring to make a sound.

"Zhu Cheng'an!" Wu Xue, heartbroken for her son, stormed forward and snatched the belt from her husband's hand. "Are you ever going to stop?!"

"A mistake is a mistake. Just find a way to solve it. Even if you kill him now, what good will it do?"

"And if you're angry, fine, but why are you insulting me too?"

"Isn't he your biological son? Did I have him with a dog?"

"Solve it?" Zhu Cheng'an laughed angrily, sounding utterly hopeless. "Then tell me, how do you plan to solve it?"

"Do you know how many people have ended up in the hospital because of our health supplement?"

"Do you know how many people are suing us? Do you know the drug administration has shut down our factory and is collecting evidence?"

He kicked Zhu Yanghe to the ground, yelling, "All my years of hard work have been ruined by this kid!"

"You're still protecting him! That bastard is spoiled rotten by you!"

"If it were just ordinary people getting poisoned, that would be one thing, but now even Hu Qingshan's mother has been hospitalized after taking our Black Phoenix Pills. Do you even know who Hu Qingshan is?"

"If anything happens to his mother, forget about going to jail, I'll be fucking dead!"

"My whole family has to die!"

Wu Xue fell silent. She knew her husband was right; Zhu Yanghe had caused a huge mess this time. That was why she had watched Zhu Yanghe being beaten without saying a word.

After being expelled from Donghai University, Zhu Yang joined his family's Jiaoyang Group on Wu Xue's advice.

Jiaoyang Group recently launched a new product – Jiaoyang Black Phoenix Pills.

This health supplement actually has no effect, but it doesn't harm the human body either. However, Zhu Yang and this clever guy are greedy for cheap prices and bought a batch of moldy medicinal materials from Meng's Pharmaceutical Company!

Health products made from moldy medicinal herbs aren't usually a big problem. If a young person takes them, they might just have diarrhea for a couple of days at most.

Isn't that a coincidence? What young person would eat that stuff?

Most of those who take Jiaoyang Heifeng Pills are elderly people, who are already weak. Isn't this taking advantage of their health to kill them?

Zhu Cheng'an only realized what had happened when the truth came out, and he felt a sudden darkness engulf him, as if the sky had collapsed.

It was all too late. The Jiaoyang Group had been smashed to pieces by the angry mob.

Zhu Cheng'an is hiding at home now and definitely doesn't dare to go out.

"Dad, you can't blame myself entirely!"

"How was I supposed to know Meng's Pharmaceuticals was so unscrupulous, selling us moldy medicinal herbs!"

"They said only a small portion was damp, and as long as it was put into use promptly, it wouldn't have any impact. I thought the price was cheap, so I was trying to save on costs!"

"Now that something has gone wrong, we can't be the only ones to take the blame; Meng's Pharmaceutical also bears responsibility."

"They are far stronger than us; we can definitely handle them!"

Zhu Yang knew he was wrong, but he was still a little unconvinced.

"You still dare to talk back!" Zhu Cheng'an snatched the belt from his wife's hand and lashed out again. "Do you think Meng's Pharmaceuticals are stupid?"

"Since they dare to sell, they have plenty of excuses to give you!"

"If they say that the item was only slightly damp when they sold it to you, and that it got moldy because you stored it for too long, what can you do about it?"

"You're really clever, aren't you? Buying moldy medicinal herbs is one thing, but using your father's and son's names to get the quality inspection department to give you the green light!"

"Slap slap—"

"I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing!"

Zhu Yang's clothes were torn and his skin was bleeding, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, still unwilling to accept defeat.

"That's because you didn't listen to my advice sooner!"

"That Meng's Pharmaceutical Company is so shady, selling their materials at such high prices, why should we insist on getting our materials from them?"

"I've already done my research. If we source medicinal herbs from places outside the East China Sea, the prices will be much cheaper than what Meng's Pharmaceutical Company offers!"

"But you just won't listen!"

"You still have the nerve to talk back?" Zhu Chengan rushed forward and kicked his son twice. If his wife had stopped him, he would have kicked this bastard son to death.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know their prices are high?"

"Don't you know they profit from this price difference?"

"Since their prices are high, why do so many pharmaceutical companies in Donghai still buy from them?"

"Because the pharmaceutical companies that didn't buy from them are gone; they were squeezed out of their market share and disappeared!"

"You bastard! You think you're so smart?"

......

"The Scorching Sun Black Phoenix Pill?!"

"You mean Hu Qingshan's mother collapsed after taking that stuff?"

Qin Ge and Hong Zhendong got out of the car in the parking lot of Hengai Hospital and chatted about Hu Qingshan's mother's situation as they walked quickly.

"That should be it."

"Our president's mother is ninety-nine years old this year, but she has always been in good health and I have never heard of her having any serious illness. Then she suddenly collapsed."

"The diagnosis from Hengai Hospital is also poisoning. We checked, and the only thing that might be the black phoenix pill in the old lady's diet these past few days is poisoning."

One of the Hu family's maids saw a promotion by the Jiaoyang Group at the mall, so she took a Jiaoyang Black Phoenix Pill for free and brought it back to the Hu family.

The maid meant well and gave the food to the old lady, but it led to a huge disaster.

"Brother Qin, you also know about the Pride of the Sun Black Phoenix Pill?"

Hong Zhendong's tone was tentative.

"My mom and the others bought a box of these at the mall yesterday, but I confiscated it."

Qin Ge sighed, "That stuff will definitely cause problems for the elderly and those with weak constitutions. I really don't know what this pharmaceutical company was thinking. Isn't this just risking lives for money?"

"However, they do have a knack for marketing. They create hype by giving away Black Phoenix Pills for free offline, which don't cost much, and then create a group of lucky viewers who get the privilege of buying them at a 30% discount."

"They will promote it online again, and those lucky viewers who have friends who are interested will ask them to help them buy it, and that's how small circles of people will explode."

"If they hadn't been so greedy and used moldy medicinal herbs, they might have actually made a fortune!"

Hong Zhendong looked slightly surprised. "Brother Qin, you seem to be from the Jiaoyang Group?"

"Should I know?" Qin Ge asked, looking puzzled.

"Do you remember Zhu Yanghe? Jiaoyang Group belongs to his father, the Zhu family. It's not a big company, but it has assets of nearly 100 million!" Hong Zhendong's last conflict with Qin Ge was caused by Zhu Yanghe.

Later, Su Wenxi stepped in on behalf of the Xia family to resolve the issue. Later still, Hong Zhendong learned that Zhu Yanghe was the son of Zhu Chengan of Jiaoyang Group, and took the opportunity to extort five million from the Zhu family before releasing Zhu Yanghe.

Zhu Yanghe knew that Hong Zhendong was a member of the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce, and that it was his own son who had caused the trouble first, so he could only accept his bad luck.

If he had called the police at the time, he might not have had to pay this money, and he might even have had a chance to get it back if he had called the police afterward, but he didn't dare.

If we offend Hong Zhendong, Jiaoyang Group will have a hard time in Donghai in the future!

"It's him?" Qin Ge was surprised. What a coincidence!
