Power and wealth bring fragrance

Mr. Yang's angry voice echoed in the air.

Things had suddenly escalated to this point, and he could no longer hide his true desires, completely exposing his inner thoughts.

He and his son both won the hearts of beautiful women at the same time!

His words caused Mu Wanning's face to darken completely. Instead of hesitating or being moved, she showed utter disgust and revulsion.

The feeling is like you're walking down the street and suddenly a dog pees on your leg – it's disgusting.

The feeling of disgust was so intense that even Mu Wanning, who had been tempered and had almost reached a state of perfect tranquility, was stirred up by strong emotions, and her face turned red with anger!

Who is Mu Wanning?

Even though she is now down on her luck for some reason, coupled with her terminal illness, which meant she was just waiting to die before meeting Wei Yuan, she has become indifferent to many things and lives no different from an ordinary person.

But she is not a truly ordinary person after all!

Whether now or in the past, she is still, to the core, a proud daughter of heaven who has inherited her family's unique skills and possesses unparalleled pride.

Based on her true background, let alone a businessman like President Yang with tens of millions in assets, even a newly rich tycoon like Liu Ding with billions in assets could only barely manage to exchange a few words with her.

Yet this person, who was utterly unworthy to even speak to her, dared to utter such shameless words so brazenly.

He accepted it along with his son and mother.

This is simply the most utter offense and insult to Mu Wanning!

A dense aura of malevolence, detectable only by Wei Yuan, rose from Mu Wanning's body. Wei Yuan could even hear the booming sound of the martial energy circulating within Mu Wanning's body as it passed through her meridians.

Such terrifying power could cut through gold and jade with a single strike.

Killing a General Manager Yang would be a piece of cake.

Mu Wanning's fingertips twitched slightly, as if she was about to raise her right hand to kill President Yang.

The pride and dignity of a noblewoman from a military family cannot be violated in this way!

Completely enraged, Mu Wanning didn't care whether they were in a public place or how much of an impact killing President Yang would have. All she wanted to do now was get rid of this bastard who had insulted her!

Just as Mu Wanning was about to make a move, Wei Yuan suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on her wrist.

Mu Wanning suddenly turned her head, her eyes sharp as knives.

Wei Yuan shook his head slowly, showing no fear.

it is more than words.

He too felt a strong killing intent because of President Yang's shameless remarks, and his desire to kill him was even stronger than Mu Wanning's.

He couldn't be bothered with Mu Xia, but he couldn't be bothered with Mu Wanning.

Although most of his current martial arts and medical skills are enhanced by the inheritance of the Di Ting, his foundation undoubtedly comes from the unique skills passed down by Mu Wanning.

Mu Wanning was his mentor, and having suffered such humiliation, he felt he had to kill President Yang to avenge Mu Wanning's disgrace.

But now is not the time.

There were too many people. Even if they could use martial arts to kill President Yang without leaving a trace, everyone saw that President Yang came with them.

His unexplained death makes them the prime suspects, and they will undoubtedly be subject to repeated investigations by the police department.

Wei Yuan didn't want to get into trouble over such a minor character. There were plenty of ways to get rid of him, so why choose the most troublesome one?

Mu Wanning didn't know Wei Yuan's thoughts, but she also saw the killing intent in Wei Yuan's eyes. She immediately realized that Wei Yuan's reason for stopping her wasn't to prevent her from killing, but that it wasn't the right time to kill.

Mu Wanning narrowed her eyes, suppressed the murderous intent boiling in her heart, and remained silent with a cold face.

Wei Yuan released his grip and looked at President Yang with a cold expression.

"A person should have self-awareness."

"I've met your son too; he's practically a carbon copy of you."

"With your and your son's shifty-eyed appearance, you're not even worthy of being called toads, how dare you dream of eating swan meat?"

"As for your so-called procurement of medicinal herbs, that's even more ridiculous."

"How much wealth do you have? How many medicinal herbs can you purchase, yet you dare to spout such nonsense?"

"If you know what's good for you, take your son and get as far away as possible from now on, and don't come near me again."

"If they don't know what's good for them..."

Wei Yuan didn't explain, he just gave a cold laugh.

However, President Yang did not understand the implied meaning in Wei Yuan's words. Instead, he was completely enraged by Wei Yuan's extremely sarcastic and malicious words, and laughed in anger.

Since they had already fallen out, he was too lazy to pretend to be a caring elder anymore and started cursing at Wei Yuan.

"Who the hell do you think you are? You're just an apprentice, how dare you point fingers at me?"

"Your entire clinic survives on my orders for medicinal herbs. Without my orders, you'd starve to death with just those few elderly patients you see every day!"

"You can't even tell the difference between the king and the queen, yet you dare to challenge me?"

"You should take those words back to yourself. If you know what's good for you, get the hell out of here. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't even afford to eat!"

After giving Wei Yuan a thorough dressing-down, President Yang finally let out a sigh of relief and then turned to Mu Wanning with a stern face.

"Wanning, I lost my composure just now."

"Although the words may not be pleasant to hear, they are the truth."

"Your clinic is now surviving on my orders, and I've long harbored feelings for you, so why don't we just merge into one?"

"From now on, my entire fortune is yours. You don't need to show your face in public anymore. Just be a rich wife, go shopping, travel... do whatever you want. Isn't that better than you struggling to keep the clinic running?"

Mr. Yang paused for a moment, then a hint of uncontrollable pride and composure appeared on his face.

"Besides, I won't lie to you, I've recently pulled some strings and a new drug is about to be launched."

"The new drug is extremely potent and will definitely ignite the entire market."

"My assets will explode, possibly tenfold or even a hundredfold!"

"At that time, I will become a true member of the upper class in Deepsea City, one of the masters who control the lifeline of this city!"

President Yang stared intently at Mu Wanning, a hint of arrogance involuntarily creeping into his eyes and brows.

"And all you have to do is nod, and you can easily rise in social class with me, enjoying a life of luxury you could never have imagined before. Why not?"

"Even if you truly love medicine and want to open a clinic, I'll open the biggest clinic in all of Deepsea City for you, so you can do whatever you want with it!"

"This is an opportunity that so many women dream of!"

"Don't make a mistake for yourself!"

Mr. Yang uttered his last words with great emphasis.

The tone was as if he were bestowing a favor upon Mu Wanning, making Wei Yuan feel the killing intent within him surging, almost uncontrollable.

This guy is such a show-off!

Mu Wanning, on the contrary, calmed down, suppressed her killing intent, and her face was expressionless.

It wasn't that she was tempted by President Yang's suggestion, but rather that her murderous intent had become even stronger.

She was so determined that she wanted to kill President Yang as soon as possible, treating him as if he were already dead.

What's the point of saying anything about a dead person?

However, Mr. Yang was completely unaware of this and became increasingly excited by the wonderful blueprint he had drawn up.

Just then, the restaurant door opened, and several more people walked in.

Two middle-aged men escorted a woman in, their attitude extremely respectful, constantly flattering her.

The woman they were admiring at the center of their attention was beautiful, and her elegant demeanor was accentuated by a well-fitting suit skirt and flesh-colored stockings.

Especially her extremely slender waist, coupled with her graceful figure as she walks, makes her look like a blooming daffodil, pure and beautiful without being seductive.

The three of them walked in and happened to pass by the area where Wei Yuan and the others were.

When General Manager Yang saw the newcomer, his eyes lit up and he quickly called out.

"Minister Shen."

The woman walking in front heard President Yang's greeting, turned around and looked over. She was stunned when she saw President Yang and Wei Yuan, and then turned around and walked over.

Mr. Yang became increasingly excited, waving his hands repeatedly, and at the same time turning his head to whisper excitedly to Mu Wanning.

"Did you see that woman who just walked over?"

"That's Shen Qingyan, the head of the Medical Department under the Parliament's Medical and Health Committee, a powerful figure who controls all new drug approvals."

"With just a single sentence from her, she can determine the prospects for all pharmaceutical companies' new drug launches!"

"I used my connections to get her the new drug approved for market."

"Once the new drug hits the market, we'll definitely make a killing!"

"You may never have met such an important person in your lives, so don't say anything out of turn, lest you offend him."

General Manager Yang lectured Mu Wanning with a smug look on his face.

Mu Wanning remained expressionless as President Yang performed, while Wei Yuan's expression turned quite strange.

Shen Qingyan?

What a coincidence, to run into each other here.

Shen Qingyan walked over with two people. President Yang hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and scraping repeatedly, his old face beaming with a smile that looked like a chrysanthemum.

"Minister Shen, what a coincidence to run into you here! I..."

Mr. Yang kept talking and reached out his hand to shake hands with Shen Qingyan.

However, when Shen Qingyan walked up to him, she didn't even look at President Yang, completely ignoring his raised hands, and looked at Wei Yuan with a face full of surprise.

"Wei Yuan?"

What are you doing here?

Mr. Yang's face froze instantly, his eyes widening in shock, almost popping out of their sockets.

The sudden, dramatic change in expression almost made Wei Yuan burst out laughing.

Suppressing a laugh, Wei Yuan looked at Shen Qingyan with a smile and said.

"I just happened to be eating here too, what a coincidence that we ran into each other."

"What's wrong with you?"

Shen Qingyan smiled slightly and gestured to the two men behind her.

"My colleagues and I were working overtime, so we stopped by to have a meal and take a break."

The two men quickly smiled and nodded at Wei Yuan, being very polite.

Wei Yuan nodded in return, and Shen Qingyan only then noticed President Yang, who had been holding up his hand. She blinked and spoke hesitantly.

"Was that you calling me just now?"

"You look somewhat familiar, you are...?"

These words were like a knife stabbing into President Yang's heart, almost making him vomit blood, and his face instantly turned as red as a pig's liver.

He was just spouting nonsense, saying he had already gotten in touch with Shen Qingyan, making it sound like the two of them were very familiar.

But now Shen Qingyan directly said, "You look familiar, but you can't even say his name," directly exposing all his lies.

This invisible slap in the face was incredibly powerful!

Wei Yuan could even hear an extremely crisp and pleasant slap sound, and he burst out laughing.

Even Mu Wanning, who was determined to kill, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and reveal a slight smile.

Wei Yuan's slight laughter dealt another blow to President Yang, leaving him standing there helpless, his face turning even redder, and his mind raging with rage.

With both old and new grudges combined, he hated Wei Yuan even more.

However, he was unsure about the relationship between Wei Yuan and Shen Qingyan, and dared not make a scene, so he could only force a smile.

"Minister Shen, I am Yang Yan from Anze Pharmaceutical Factory."

"I just visited your office yesterday to ask for your help in approving our new drug."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyan thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

"Ah, it's you!"

"Sorry, I've been busy and my memory isn't very good."

Shen Qingyan casually added a comment, which improved Yang Yan's expression considerably.

Shen Qingyan's gaze swept between Yang Yan, Wei Yuan, and Mu Wanning, especially lingering on Mu Wanning for a moment before she spoke to Wei Yuan.

"Do you know General Manager Yang?"

Yang Yan's pupils contracted slightly, and he inwardly groaned.

Oh no! This young punk actually knows Minister Shen!

He had just scolded Wei Yuan. If Wei Yuan said something nonsensical, then Minister Shen's impression of him would plummet.

Yang Yan was about to speak up and try to make amends, but Wei Yuan was faster and denied it outright.

"No, I have nothing to do with him."

"On the contrary, just now General Manager Yang pointed his finger at my nose and told me to get lost."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan's heart sank instantly, and he wished he could tear Wei Yuan's mouth to shreds.

That bastard, he ruined so many of his plans today!

But Yang Yan couldn't care less about settling scores with Wei Yuan right now, and quickly started to explain.

"Minister Shen, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Here's what happened..."

Yang Yan's mind raced faster than ever before, trying to find a plausible excuse.

However, before he could explain, Shen Qingyan's beautiful face froze for a moment after hearing Wei Yuan's words, then turned cold.

"Yeah?"

Shen Qingyan turned to look at Yang Yan, her beautiful eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

Yang Yan's heart began to sink endlessly, and he couldn't help but feel waves of panic.

Oh no, it seems this kid's relationship with Minister Shen is deeper than he thought.

"Minister Shen, please let me explain..."

Yang Yan tried to explain in a flustered manner, but Shen Qingyan was too lazy to listen and spoke indifferently.

"No need to explain, your personal misunderstanding has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, by the way, since we've run into each other today, I thought I'd let you know."

"The new drug materials submitted by your Anze Pharmaceutical Factory have problems. After a rigorous evaluation, I believe they do not meet the requirements for market launch."

Therefore, the listing will not be approved for the time being.

"Go back and study it carefully. Submit it only when you're fully prepared next time to avoid wasting time."

boom!

As if an invisible bolt of lightning had struck him hard on the head, Yang Yan froze instantly, his face turning ashen and devoid of any color.
