Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 58, Crack Down on the Top Nine Pharmaceutical Companies!
What? What was he saying? Lin Fan alone intended to suppress the nine major pharmaceutical companies in Haicheng?
That’s insane! Completely and utterly insane!
Suspended in midair, Su Mengqing and the other two exchanged glances and sneered. What good is being a skilled fighter? Business isn’t about brawls and bloodshed; it’s about connections and tact! His outrageous arrogance alone meant people wouldn’t even give him the time of day!
"Some ’absolute market competitiveness’ he’s talking about. Some ’wiping everyone out’!"
"Heh, in all my years, I’ve never seen such an arrogant idiot."
"Yuan Youwei, you’re considered a titan of the Haicheng Business Community, but your judgment is terrible. You’d be better off considering my son."
The tycoons of Haicheng Pharmaceutical all laughed with rage, clearly not taking Lin Fan’s words seriously in the slightest.
Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue looked at each other, both somewhat shocked. Even though they had already witnessed Lin Fan’s many extraordinary deeds, the fact that he could write down alternative formulas for the flagship products of all nine major Haicheng pharmaceutical companies in an instant was truly astonishing. It was simply too difficult to believe or accept.
"What, none of you believe me?" Lin Fan asked, looking around at the sea of disbelieving faces before nodding indifferently.
"I didn’t want to be this ruthless. You only get one chance, and you’re the ones who rejected it."
He clutched the pages and turned to leave without a moment’s hesitation.
"Wait a minute!"
Just then, Mr. Wang Sr., his brow deeply furrowed, suddenly called out to stop Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, if you can provide the complete Bixia Pill formula, I can make an exception and lend you my support."
The old man glanced at the papers in Lin Fan’s hand and shook his head vigorously.
"As for improving my Wang family’s Detoxifying Pill? Hmph, I’ve poured most of my life’s work into perfecting this formula to its current state."
"I’ll stake my reputation on it: unless Medical Sage Lin Aochang himself were to act, no one possesses such medical expertise!"
At his words, the others nodded in agreement. And it wasn’t just the Wang family’s flagship product, the Detoxifying Pill. Hadn’t each of their own signature medicines been painstakingly perfected through years of tireless effort?
And you, Lin Fan, think you can fool us by scribbling on a few scraps of paper? That’s not just foolish, it’s incurable!
"Lin Fan! The Bixia Pill formula was left to me by your mother!"
Before Lin Fan, who had stopped and turned, could respond, it was Su Mengqing, still hanging in midair, who grew frantic. She grit her teeth against the pain and shouted, "Whether you admit it or not, the formula should be mine! It was your mother’s dying wish! Do you want her to be unable to rest in peace?"
"That’s right! Lin Fan, you admitted it yourself! That Bixia Pill formula should be handed over to our Su Family!" Zhang Meili grew frantic as well, her eyes widening as she shrieked her agreement.
"So now you realize how precious the Bixia Pill formula is?" Lin Fan clenched his jaw, forcefully suppressing the fury rising in his eyes.
"Then tell me, Su Mengqing, where was the Su Family then?" He walked to stand beneath the three of them, his eyes sweeping over them with a cold glare.
"Weren’t you busy sucking up to Chen Biao? Weren’t you busy celebrating that dog’s birthday? Now you have regrets, and you still have the damn nerve to bring this up!"
"You... you’re being completely unreasonable! It’s been so long! Must you hold on to it so relentlessly?" Su Mengqing flushed beet-red, gritting her teeth so hard they audibly clicked. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
She had indeed regretted her actions countless times. But admit it in front of Lin Fan? She couldn’t bring herself to lose face like that, even if it killed her!
"Yes, I *am* holding on to it," Lin Fan retorted with a cold laugh. "This is something I’ll never get over for the rest of my life!"
"It would be an injustice to the heavens if your Su Family doesn’t fall! I’m going to enjoy watching you all dig your own graves and get knocked right back to where you started!"
"You still want the Bixia Pill formula? Forget the fact that I already burned it. Even if I hadn’t, I would never give it to the Su Family!"
"My mother was kind and soft-hearted, but I will not allow you to bully her! She’s already dead, and you still want to ride on her coattails? You’re dreaming!"
BOOM!
His cold words, that familiar yet indifferent face... It was as if a thousand steel needles had instantly pierced her heart! Pain, a raw, bloody pain!
Su Mengqing’s chest heaved violently, her entire body trembling with rage.
Zhang Meili’s plump face flushed with shame, and she nearly buried her head between her legs.
Beside them, Yang Tingting shrank back, not daring to let out so much as a peep. If she hadn’t so strongly persuaded Su Mengqing against him back then... things would never have reached this point.
"Lin Fan, I couldn’t care less about your family’s drama," Mr. Wang Sr. interjected at that moment, his old face dark with impatience as he waved a dismissive hand. "If you can’t produce the ancient Bixia Pill formula, then get the hell out!"
Missing out on the ancient Bixia Pill formula was a scar on his heart. The thought of that prodigal son, Lin Fan, burning it all to ashes was like rubbing salt in the wound.
"The Bixia Pill is all you’ve ever known in your entire life. I bet you haven’t even heard the name Divine Dragon Detox Powder." Lin Fan glanced at Mr. Wang Sr., then grabbed the White Dragon Grass and the elongated purple sandalwood box from Yuan Youwei and turned to leave.
"In four days, when all nine of your companies come back begging, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
His powerful words echoed through the hall.
The pharmaceutical tycoons just scoffed, not believing a word.
But what nobody noticed was that at the head of the hall, Mr. Wang Sr.’s eyes had flown wide open in his armchair, his pupils contracting violently.
Divine Dragon Detox Powder! The exclusive, miraculous medicine of the Medical Sage Lin Aochang himself! After all, the Wang family’s Detoxifying Pill was nothing more than a shoddy imitation, a counterfeit he had managed to create only after years of research, all based on a tiny sample of the Divine Dragon Detox Powder he had luckily stumbled upon!
THUD!
"Wait, Nephew Lin, please wait!"
By the time he came to his senses, the backs of Lin Fan’s group were already disappearing out of the hall. Mr. Wang Sr. grew frantic and shot up from his seat to give chase.
However, he stumbled and fell flat on his face. Ignoring the strange looks from everyone, the old man, practically mad with urgency, scrambled back to his feet and continued the chase, even running right out of one of his old cloth shoes!
GASP!
Seeing this, the stunned pharmaceutical tycoons looked at each other, their hearts simultaneously dropping. None of them were fools. For something to make the distinguished National Medical Sage lose his composure so completely... that Divine Dragon Detox Powder in Lin Fan’s hands had to be something absolutely extraordinary!
After a collective, sharp intake of breath, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed. Who cared about face now? They all jumped to their feet and rushed out the door after him!
This left only Su Mengqing and the other two, still suspended in midair, staring at each other in utter bewilderment.
"Director Su... was Lin Fan... was he not bluffing?" Yang Tingting asked, turning her head toward the door and swallowing with great difficulty.
"From the look on his face, Mr. Wang Sr. seemed even... even more frantic than when he came to the Su Family asking for the ancient Bixia Pill formula!"
"We’re screwed, totally screwed!" Zhang Meili’s plump face contorted in rage as she bellowed through clenched teeth. "Lin Fan must have lied to us! He never burned the formulas Lin Suxin left behind!"
"Those should have been mine!" Su Mengqing screamed, her eyes red with fury. She couldn’t stop herself from kicking her legs wildly in the air.
But after her wild outburst, the resentment in her heart hadn’t lessened at all. Instead, it was compounded by an even deeper layer of regret!
"This is all your fault!" she shrieked. "If you hadn’t constantly told me to give Lin Fan the cold shoulder, would I... would I be in this situation now?"
The more Su Mengqing thought about it, the angrier she became, and tears of humiliation streamed down her face. She couldn’t stop herself from twisting her body around and kicking furiously at Yang Tingting.
