Wang Xuehan swallowed the Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill. A few minutes later, under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, her face flushed red and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "It expelled the dampness so quickly?" The old man, Mr. Dai, was instantly shocked. He knew it took three consecutive days of taking Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals’ Jinyang Strong Kidney Pill to achieve this effect. But it wasn’t over. After another minute or two, the dullness in Wang Xuehan’s eyes vanished, replaced by a sparkling brightness, as if she had consumed a powerful tonic. Her skin began to radiate a healthy, rosy glow, like flower petals in the morning dew. Anyone could see that her complexion was vastly improved. "Su Xuan, this medicine is incredible!" Wang Xuehan took a deep breath and said to him, "I feel so energized, full of strength. It feels like I could go for days without sleep!" According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the kidney is the most important of the five organs. It contains the essence of both yin and yang, is the residence of water and fire, the foundation of congenital life, and the root of life itself. Once the kidney is replenished with energy, the effects are reflected in all aspects of a person’s well-being. The mother of the girl in hanfu even noticed that Wang Xuehan’s hair was emanating a bright sheen. At that moment, she didn’t need to ask Mr. Dai; she knew Su Xuan’s medicine was far superior to her family’s Jinyang Strong Kidney Pills. The two medicines weren’t even on the same level. As for Wang Xuehan, all she wanted to do was take a shower, wash away the cold sweat, and change into clean clothes. Suddenly, the girl’s mother opened her handbag, pulled out three or four thick stacks of cash—thirty or forty thousand yuan—and slapped them down. "Here’s the money," she said to Su Xuan. "I want to buy your medicine!" "Madam, you..." Mr. Dai was startled. He knew that Mrs. Bai, a woman obsessed with her reputation, was now voluntarily offering money for Su Xuan’s medicine. This meant she finally admitted that Su Xuan’s pill was better than her family’s Jinyang Strong Kidney Pills. And she was the lady boss of Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals, while Su Xuan claimed to be the owner of Lafite. The implications were self-evident. "Heh," Su Xuan chuckled softly, spreading his hands. "I don’t have any left." Although he was always smiling, it didn’t mean he was a man without a temper. You were given your chance, and you didn’t cherish it. Who’s to blame for that? You can do as you please on your own turf, but showing off and causing trouble on my territory is just asking for it. Old hag! I’ve been patient with you for a long time! That mouth of yours is just begging for a slap! "I don’t believe you’re the owner of Lafite!" Mrs. Bai, the lady boss of Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals, ignored the subtle shift in Su Xuan’s expression. She squinted at him, continuing to pull more cash from her handbag. "Lafite is worth 120 billion. If you were the owner, why would you be running this tiny bookstore? Besides, my Rolls-Royce is the only car out there. You probably don’t even own one! And you don’t have any bodyguards. So, you’re clearly not the owner of Lafite!" By the time she finished speaking, Mrs. Bai had piled up one hundred thousand yuan in cash. She loved carrying cash. She believed that spending cash was the only true way to spend money. It had a visual impact that credit cards and mobile payments couldn’t match, lacking the same sense of prestige. And while her handbag only contained a hundred thousand, there was much more in her Rolls-Royce. She was confident that this small-time bookstore owner, who was pretending to be the boss of Lafite, would surely bow to a large sum of cash. That’s right. She would never apologize for her earlier remarks, much less lower her head and beg him for the medicine. She believed cash could solve anything. "One hundred thousand yuan for one of your pills. Deal?" Mrs. Bai asked, pressing her hand on the stacks of money. Before Su Xuan could answer, the usually composed Wang Xuehan couldn’t help herself anymore. She turned away, covering her mouth as she let out a quiet laugh. Trying to buy Su Xuan with a hundred thousand yuan? Is she kidding? Su Xuan casually d a hundred million to her father! Does he need her pathetic hundred thousand? And she said he doesn’t have a car? His Koenigsegg is worth a hundred million—enough to buy ten Rolls-Royces! In front of Su Xuan, her net worth makes her... a pauper! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Are you laughing at me?" Still lost in her own delusions, Mrs. Bai was oblivious to the fact that she was a pauper in Su Xuan’s eyes. Seeing Wang Xuehan dare to laugh, her face fell. She threatened her, enunciating each word, "If you don’t give me a good reason for that laugh, I will make sure you never laugh again for the rest of your life, because I will smash that mouth of yours!" As soon as her words fell, the two bodyguards from outside strode in, their cold gazes fixed on Wang Xuehan. Mr. Dai immediately scurried to the side. The girl in hanfu stomped her foot. "Mom, you’re causing trouble again!" It was at that moment that Su Xuan walked toward the two bodyguards who had barged into the bookstore and said one word, his face devoid of expression. "Scram." "You’re courting death!" The two bodyguards, clearly used to throwing their weight around, raised their fists in unison to strike him. Mrs. Bai watched this with cold eyes, the corners of her lips curling into a smirk. But the next second, something unbelievable happened. Before her bodyguards could even raise their hands, there was a sound. The two men vanished from where they stood. Two dull thumps echoed from outside as heavy bodies hit the ground. She whipped her head around and saw her two bodyguards lying on the hard ground, spitting up blood. Their legs twitched for a moment, then fell still. What just happened? Did Su Xuan do that? But she hadn’t seen him move at all! And he wasn’t some muscular brute. How could he have sent her two sturdy bodyguards flying in an instant? "Whose mouth did you say you were going to smash?" Su Xuan now stood directly in front of Mrs. Bai. He reached out, grabbed her by the throat, and lifted her higher and higher until her feet dangled off the ground. "You’re going to... hit me?" Mrs. Bai choked out. "I’m a... a woman!" Su Xuan’s other hand swung out, viciously striking Mrs. Bai’s face. Blood instantly trickled from the corner of her mouth. "I don’t distinguish between men and women, only between right and wrong," Su Xuan said before delivering another slap. Mrs. Bai’s mouth opened, and she spat out a molar. Su Xuan’s slaps were relentless. Mrs. Bai’s legs kicked out in the air with every slap, and she began begging for mercy, "I’m... I’m sorry! Please... stop hitting me! I... I was wrong!" She was truly terrified. She was used to being a tyrant at home, where her family, including her husband, catered to her every whim. Who would dare lay a finger on her? She had no idea what real pain felt like. Now, Su Xuan was not only hitting her mercilessly, but his eyes held a complete disregard for her life, as if killing her meant nothing to him. How could she not be afraid? Su Xuan delivered two more hard slaps. Mrs. Bai’s legs finally went limp, hanging motionless. With a flick of his wrist, Su Xuan tossed her out of the bookstore like a piece of garbage. She was somewhat lucky, landing on top of one of her bodyguards, which forced another mouthful of blood from the man but likely saved her from being killed by the fall. Su Xuan’s gaze then fell upon Mr. Dai. "I’ll roll myself out, I’ll roll myself out!" Terrified, Mr. Dai’s legs were shaking so badly that he got on the floor and literally rolled out of the bookstore. Once outside, he frantically pulled out his phone and started making calls, though it was unclear if he was calling for backup or an ambulance. Su Xuan then turned to the girl in hanfu and reached his hand toward her... "What?!" Mr. Dai, watching from outside, nearly fainted from shock. He’s not going to hit Miss Bai too, is he? Holy shit! He’s ruthless! Utterly cold-blooded!
