My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 68 The Counterattack of Qifei Group

"Expert Liu, you’re a top expert in beauty pharmaceuticals. You have to help us," Zhang Junwang said to the man in his thirties. "We’ve already been pushed out of ninety percent of the market. At this rate, I fear the Zhang Family will be driven out completely."

The man frowned. "This upgraded Youth Pill is no great mystery. If they can upgrade it, so can I. I was only trying to suppress the original Youth Pill before; I wasn’t using my full strength."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Expert Liu had a plan, they still had a chance to turn things around.

"Expert Liu, we’re counting on you. You were sent by the Jingzhou Lin Family, so you must help us. That Qifei Group was built up by Lin Qingxuan," Zhang Junwang pleaded.

Liu Chengyu came from the Jingzhou Lin Family, where he was one of their pharmaceutical experts. His purpose here was to hinder Lin Qingxuan and prevent her from becoming too prominent. It was his master who had orchestrated the termination of cooperation between the Jingzhou Lin Family and the Qifei Group. Everything was aimed at taking Lin Qingxuan down—at ruining her. This was all part of the family’s internal struggles. Lin Qingxuan was simply too outstanding, and some people didn’t want to see her succeed. They even wanted her dead.

"Don’t worry," Liu Chengyu said confidently. "As long as we have enough medicinal herbs, I guarantee we can defeat the Qifei Group immediately."

As he was speaking, a servant came tumbling and crawling inside. "Bad news, Family Head! The Ye Group has suddenly cut off our supply of medicinal herbs! They claim there was a flood where the herbs are grown and that nothing can be done."

"Bullshit!" Zhang Junwang roared. "They just gave the Qifei Group a huge batch of herbs, and now they have none for us? What are they trying to pull?"

"How could this be?" Zhang Peng was also stunned. "The Ye Group is really abandoning their cooperation with us for the Qifei Group? This is unbelievable!"

"This isn’t the time to worry about that," Zhang Junwang said, his brow deeply furrowed. "Without enough medicinal herbs, we can’t research and produce a new, upgraded Youthful Beauty Ointment. We’ll be in serious trouble then." He hadn’t expected them to pull the rug out from under them like this. How ruthless.

They had assumed the Qifei Group would collapse immediately after losing its partnership with the Jingzhou Lin Family. Who could have imagined things would turn out this way?

"If worst comes to worst, our only choice is to buy them at high prices from various sources," Zhang Peng suggested. "There are still other herb merchants in Kang City, and we can ship more in from other cities. No matter how powerful the Qifei Group is, they can’t have bought up every other city’s supply, can they?"

But Zhang Junwang’s frown only deepened. He had a bad feeling about this. Ever since they’d driven Yang Qi into bankruptcy, nothing had gone smoothly for them. Just what was going on?

In stark contrast to the gloom hanging over the Zhang Family, the Qifei Group was thriving. The employees’ minds were finally at ease. After all, the company was now cooperating with the Ye Group, and the future looked bright. Ye Fei even issued bonuses to the employees who had remained at their posts, boosting morale even further.

The Zhang Family, on the other hand, was in a miserable state. The Ye Group’s move was ruthless; not only did they refuse to supply the Zhang Family with materials, but they also preemptively bought up all the materials from every supplier in Kang City. This pushed the Zhang Family into an even more passive position. It was truly a case of kicking them while they were down. If they didn’t find a solution soon, they wouldn’t last much longer.

Of course, the Zhang Family had no idea that in two days, they would be completely finished. Yang Qi had already prepared the perfect final curtain for them.

...

After settling matters at the company, Yang Qi planned to go home and continue his cultivation. Personal strength was everything. He hadn’t even left yet when his phone rang. It was Zhong Qiang. "This is bad, Mr. Yang! Someone’s here causing trouble for Miss Lin! I don’t think I can stop them!"

"I’ll be right there." Yang Qi’s blood ran cold when he heard this. Someone dares to lay a hand on my woman? They’re simply asking for death.

「The Lin Family Estate」

Liu Chengyu sat with one leg crossed over the other, staring at Lin Qingxuan opposite him. The more he looked, the more he liked what he saw. Lin Qingxuan was wearing comfortable loungewear. It wasn’t flashy, but on her, it was enough to captivate any man.

It’s no wonder the Divine Scion likes this woman, Liu Chengyu thought. To conquer a woman like this would truly be one of life’s greatest pleasures. In any case, she’s about to be ruined. Why shouldn’t I benefit from it?

"Heh heh, Miss Lin, it seems your branch of the family doesn’t care much about you, does it? Sending just one bodyguard?" Liu Chengyu scoffed, glancing disdainfully at Zhong Qiang, whom he had just kicked aside. Zhong Qiang was merely an Inner Strength practitioner. He, Liu Chengyu, was a genuine Innate master.

"What do you want?" Lin Qingxuan asked.

"What do I want?" Liu Chengyu chuckled. "Miss Lin, you’re not very quick on the uptake, are you? I’ve already booked a room at a hotel. Why don’t you join me for a wonderful night? Once you’re defiled, that Divine Scion won’t pester you anymore, right?"

"Shameless!" Assistant Qin yelled, furious.

Lin Qingxuan’s voice was cold. "Liu Chengyu, I don’t know who sent you, but you will regret it if you dare to touch me. A Ph.D.? An overseas returnee? In the end, you’re just scum in human skin. You are nothing like the man in my heart."

Liu Chengyu’s face turned grim. "Do you still think you’re some great lady? Without the Jingzhou Lin Family, you’re nothing! I’m not afraid to tell you; I was given express orders to come here and ruin you. Today, you’ll submit whether you want to or not!"

He stood up and started walking toward Lin Qingxuan.

"Stop!" Assistant Qin shielded Lin Qingxuan but was sent flying with a single slap.

Zhong Qiang was already heavily injured and could barely move, but he still struggled to get up. "Miss, run!" he yelled, suddenly lunging forward and grabbing Liu Chengyu’s leg.

"Get lost!" Liu Chengyu kicked Zhong Qiang, sending him flying toward the door.

Midway, however, his body was caught. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

It was Yang Qi.

Yang Qi walked into the hall and gently set Zhong Qiang down. He looked toward Lin Qingxuan. She’s alright. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Did he do this to you?" Yang Qi asked Zhong Qiang.

"Yes!" Zhong Qiang nodded. "His name is Liu Chengyu. He’s an entry-level Innate master, and his strength is terrifying! Mr. Yang, be careful!"

Yang Qi nodded, walked to Lin Qingxuan’s side, and stared coldly at Liu Chengyu. "I don’t care who you are. For daring to frighten Qingxuan, you’re a dead man today."

"Who are you?" Liu Chengyu frowned, sensing a dangerous aura from Yang Qi.

"Yang Qi, Miss Qingxuan’s attending physician," Yang Qi introduced himself. I can’t reveal that I’m her boyfriend yet. Alas.

"Oh, so you’re that pharmaceutical expert from the Qifei Group? The one who developed the Youth Pill?" Liu Chengyu laughed. My luck today is incredible. If I take care of him right here, the Qifei Group is finished.
