After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

The next morning at 10:00 AM.

Tang's Jewelry held a press conference to announce the addition of Gu Ning, Nangong Qian, and several other women.

With yesterday's bet between the Tang and Liu families as a prelude, today's press conference was packed with people, with almost all the media from Lin'an in attendance.

"Sister, please take good care of me from now on."

After signing the papers, Tang Shanshan and Gu Ning embraced warmly, and the cameras of the media kept clicking.

Throughout Jiangnan Province, and even in some surrounding areas, many powerful families and influential groups witnessed this scene on their screens.

"With the cooperation with the Tang family, the Ye family's business empire has expanded by hundreds of billions. The Ye family's rise has been like a cheat code. It seems that it's time to make a choice."

Many powerful figures who dominate their regions share the same thought.

With the equity investment agreement signed, the next step was a Q&A session with the media.

Major media outlets are adept at capturing traffic, and the first questioner had barely stood up when he threw out a bombshell question.

"President Tang, President Gu, yesterday's bet with Liu's Jewelry was a very impressive victory for Tang's. However, from what I understand, Liu's Jewelry is backed by Chairman Zhang of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance. Are you confident that you can get them to honor the bet?"

"Yes, the Martial Alliance is not to be trifled with. Would Tang's Jewelry dare to close Liu's store in Lin'an?"

......

Tang Shanshan said with a smile: "Yesterday's bet between the Tang family and the Liu family was witnessed by at least tens of millions of people across the internet. According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, they must fulfill their bet."

To ensure the bet is carried out smoothly, I have invited President He Chen of the Martial Alliance today to personally supervise the entire process.

After he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties with a thick beard stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd below the stage.

His voice was booming and his tone was serious.

"The Martial Alliance exists to uphold justice in the Great Xia Dynasty, not to support certain individuals or forces. I, the president, will now lead my men to Liu's Jewelry and begin by sealing off their flagship store in Lin'an."

"Well said! Chairman He truly deserves to be the most upright, popular, and prestigious martial arts expert among the four chairmen of the Jiangnan Martial Alliance." Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Afterwards, a large group of people followed He Chen to Liu's Jewelry flagship store.

The number of people paying attention to this matter online is no less than yesterday, and everyone has a feeling that today's scene will be even more lively and exciting than yesterday's.

As expected, when Tang Shanshan and her group arrived at Liu's Jewelry flagship store, they saw at least five hundred thugs gathered in front of the door, all holding sticks and ready for battle.

Clearly, they are not prepared to fulfill yesterday's bet.

From among the men in black emerged a burly man wearing a thick gold chain, speaking arrogantly.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Tang Shanshan stepped forward and revealed her identity.

"I am Tang Shanshan, the president of Tang's Jewelry. Your young master Liu Jun lost to me in a bet on stones yesterday. According to the bet, you must close all your stores in Jiangnan Province and withdraw from the Jiangnan jewelry market."

The man curled his lip, lit a cigarette, blew smoke in Tang Shanshan's face, and sneered disdainfully.

"Go find who made the bet with you. Anyway, I'm here today, and Liu's Jewelry will continue operating."

He Chen didn't tolerate him at all and stepped forward to slap him hard across the face.

"The Martial Alliance is on official business; all unauthorized personnel must get out of the way!"

"you......"

Just as the man was about to speak, He Chen, a Grandmaster of Foundation Establishment, unleashed his terrifying pressure without reservation, instantly forcing him to kneel on the ground, unable to lift his head.

The five hundred thugs behind him were all pale-faced and kept retreating.

The crowd recognized the man as a gang leader and immediately erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Upon seeing this, Tang Shanshan shouted, "Guards, shut down Liu's flagship store!"

"yes!"

The Tang family members all agreed and marched aggressively toward the entrance of Liu's jewelry store.

However, at that moment, a mocking voice came from Liu's shop.

"Vice President He, you have quite the airs of an official. If I were to obstruct you today, would you be going to deal with me as well?"

Zhang Wenshan, Lu Yousheng, and Ma Cheng, the three presidents of the Martial Alliance, led Liu Jun, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Qingshan's family, and a large number of core members of the Liu family as they walked over in a grand procession.

He Chen had anticipated his appearance, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly.

"I am just following the rules. If Chairman Zhang insists on obstructing me, I will have no choice but to report this matter to the Martial Alliance headquarters and ask the headquarters to send someone to judge the matter."

Zhang Wenshan knew that He Chen was like a rock in a latrine—stubborn and unyielding, only respecting rules and not showing favoritism. He had no intention of wasting words with him.

He glanced at Liu Jun, who was wrapped in bandages, and said in a deep voice.

"Since Chairman He likes to talk about rules, then let's talk about rules with him. Jun'er, why don't you tell us what happened yesterday?"

Liu Jun, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed in front of the camera and immediately began to cry.

"Yesterday I went to Tang's Jewelry to gamble on jade. Not only did they cheat, but they also beat me up like this and forcibly took away the Liu family heirloom. Our Liu family is so miserable, sob sob..."

"Liu Jun, you are despicable and shameless! You are the one who cheated!" Tang Shanshan was so angry that her breasts heaved.

Zhang Wenshan snorted coldly, "Let's put the cheating aside for now. Who beat my nephew up like this yesterday? Step forward!"

Lin Shasha stepped forward, hands on her hips, and said, "I'm the one who beat this bastard, so what can you do about it?"

"What an arrogant brat! Daring to act so arrogantly in front of Chairman Zhang! Martial Alliance Elders, listen to my order: seize this woman and cripple her cultivation!"

At Lu Yousheng's command, several late-stage Qi Refining experts descended from the sky and surrounded Lin Shasha.

Tang Shanshan immediately panicked upon seeing this, "It was Liu Jun who led thugs to break into my Tang's flagship store. Miss Lin was acting in self-defense to protect us."

Liu Jun pointed at her and retorted, "Isn't it because you guys cheated that I got angry and called someone to help you?"

He Chen looked thoughtful, and after a moment spoke softly.

"The key question is whether Tang's Jewelry cheated in yesterday's betting game, and whether Liu has any evidence of their cheating?"

"That's right, produce the evidence!" the surrounding onlookers shouted in unison.

Liu Qingshan, the head of the Liu family, stepped forward, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You want evidence? I'll give you evidence." With that, he shouted, "Master Duan, come out!"

Then, Duan Yi, with a stubble beard, walked out from Liu's side.

"Master Duan, what are you doing here?"

Tang Shanshan gasped in shock, her face filled with astonishment and bewilderment.

Duan Yi lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and said in a low voice, "I am Duan Yi, an appraiser at Tang's Jewelry, and I can testify that Tang's Jewelry did indeed cheat yesterday."

Gu Ning and the others were all taken aback when Duan Yi chose to betray the Tang family at such a crucial moment, and their expressions turned grim.

Zhang Wenshan's expression was sarcastic, and his tone was cold.

"Now that the truth is out, take action immediately and cripple the woman who injured my nephew!"

Lin Shasha scoffed, showing no fear whatsoever.

"My father is Lin Yunfeng, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Azure Dragon War Zone. You dare to touch me?"
