"Daughter, you look so radiant!" After getting fillings at a dental clinic, Bai Yongnian suddenly noticed something odd. His daughter Bai Wei no longer suffered from her usual chills. Instead, her complexion was rosy, her eyes sparkled, and her whole body brimmed with vitality! "Oh, honey, I forgot to tell you something." Mrs. Bai gently touched one of her new teeth and said, "That young man has a medicine even more potent than our Jin Yang Kidney-Strengthening Pills. It takes effect within minutes. Our daughter must have taken his medicine." "Is that true, daughter?" Bai Yongnian asked, quickly steadying her by the shoulders. "Yes," Bai Wei nodded honestly. "After I took his Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill, I broke out in a sweat and felt better immediately. His medicine is incredibly powerful." Bai Yongnian’s face turned pale in an instant. He quickly walked to a secluded spot and made a phone call. "Boss, what is it?" a respectful voice inquired as the call connected. "Xiao Zhao, what are you even paid for?" Bai Yongnian scolded immediately. "I just heard that Laiefo has developed a medicine called the Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill, and it’s even more effective than our Jin Yang Kidney-Strengthening Pills. You’re my undercover agent at Laiefo, so why didn’t you report this to me?" Indeed. He had an undercover agent planted inside Laiefo, privy to many of their business arrangements. It wasn’t just Laiefo, either. He had planted numerous corporate spies in other pharmaceutical companies as well. Otherwise, his Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals would never have developed and grown so smoothly. He was a firm believer in an old saying: "Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat." "Boss, it’s not that I didn’t want to report to you," the agent said. "It’s just that they caught me completely off guard this time." "The Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill wasn’t developed through Laiefo’s normal R&D process. Instead, their boss, Su Xuan, suddenly produced a prescription yesterday. The R&D experts formulated the pill based on that prescription in just over half a day. If it hadn’t been so abrupt, I would have certainly reported it to you sooner. Furthermore, their security measures were extremely strict this time. I only found out about it today when it hit the production line. Before I even had a chance to report to you, your call came in." "It’s already on the production line?" Bai Yongnian exclaimed in shock. "Not only that, their General Manager, Dou Jianhua, is in a conference room negotiating with advertisers right now. If there are no surprises, all the major media outlets will be blanketed with ads for the Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill tonight!" "How the hell are we supposed to compete with this?" Bai Yongnian hung up and slammed his fist into the nearby wall, his face a mask of dejection. If the Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill successfully hit the market, Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals, which relied heavily on the Jin Yang Kidney-Strengthening Pills, would suffer a devastating blow. Its stock price would plummet, and the company might never recover, let alone go head-to-head with Su Xuan in the business world! "Honey, your hand is bleeding." Mrs. Bai walked over and dabbed at the blood on his knuckles. Bai Yongnian irritably shook her hand off. "Laiefo’s Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill is about to launch! You’ve seen how effective it is for yourself. Once it’s out, what’s going to happen to our Jin Yang Kidney-Strengthening Pills?" Mrs. Bai pursed her swollen lips. "Then we’ll just have to find a way to stop it from launching!" Bai Yongnian frowned. "We found out too late. It won’t be easy now!" A hint of hatred flickered in Mrs. Bai’s eyes. "There’s always a way if you think hard enough. We’ll surely come up with a good plan. It would be best if we could also get our revenge for the lost teeth at the same time!" "Boss, I’m calling with good news!" In the afternoon, just as Su Xuan was driving for Didi, Dou Jianhua from Laiefo called him. "Go ahead." Su Xuan had a good idea of what celebratory news Dou Jianhua was about to report. "Hehe, our first batch of Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pills is finished and will soon be distributed to pharmacies for sale!" Dou Jianhua said cheerfully. "I’ve also sealed deals with several advertising agencies. With a massive ad campaign, our medicine is sure to be a huge hit!" Su Xuan smiled, then asked, "How much do you know about Bai Yongnian of Bai Wei Pharmaceuticals?" "Since we’re in the same industry, I know a fair bit," Dou Jianhua replied. "What about him did you want to know, Boss?" "What’s his character like? How does he operate?" Su Xuan asked. He wasn’t born yesterday. He didn’t believe for a second that Bai Yongnian would give up so easily. He needed to know what kind of man Bai Yongnian was and whether he needed to prepare for a counterattack. Still, he didn’t regret his actions today. If he could turn back time, he would teach Bai Yongnian and his wife the exact same lesson. "Bai Yongnian has a terrible reputation," Dou Jianhua explained. "He built his company by acquiring small pharmaceutical factories, and the tactics he used were widely scorned. He’d use coercion, bribery, and even threatened his rivals’ families. That man is absolutely no good. Boss, are you worried he might try to sabotage the launch of our Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill?" "The thought has crossed my mind," Su Xuan admitted. "You need to stay vigilant and make sure no one causes any trouble." Follow current novᴇls on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Don’t worry, Boss! I’m not going home until the Dragon and Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill is officially on sale!" "I’m counting on you!" After hanging up with Dou Jianhua, Su Xuan called Wang Xuehan and told her to close up early and come home before dark. Only then did he relax and continue driving for Didi until nightfall. "Su Xuan, you’re back!" As soon as he entered the house, Wang Xuehan came out to greet him. She had listened to Su Xuan, closing the bookstore and returning home as soon as it got dark. She also understood why he had asked her to do it. He was clearly worried that the Bai family might resort to something sordid, like targeting her. "Where are the two kids?" Su Xuan asked, not seeing the brother and sister in the courtyard. "I picked out a couple of comic books for them. They’re in their room, completely absorbed! Shall we have dinner now?" It was after dinner that something very strange occurred. Even without sniffing the small porcelain bottle, Su Xuan suddenly saw the young phantom in the courtyard. The young phantom was standing by the pond, constantly pounding his lower back and coughing nonstop. Then, with a furious expression, he threw the piece of paper in his hand into the water! Su Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t the young phantom’s back already healed? Hadn’t his kidney deficiency been cured? Why did his condition seem even worse? Su Xuan hurried over to the pond to look at the paper. To his shock, it was the very same prescription from before! He also spotted an additional line of blurred, tiny characters on it. Su Xuan quickly pulled out the small porcelain bottle and took a sniff. As he squinted at the line of tiny text, his expression changed. This medicine must not be taken with salt. Long-term use will result in poisoning
