During this period, the other fifteen Mingjing Fruit trees had also borne fruit, increasing the production of Bright Eye Liquid by roughly fivefold. Daily sales could reach 3,000,000 RMB. Since there were almost no production costs, this was nearly pure profit. Zhang Bin was counting on this money to build a pharmaceutical plant, purchase more dicinal plant seeds, and cover other expenses.
So, when he heard that soone was causing trouble at his company, he grew tense. Fury surged through him, and he was ready to rush over there imdiately.
"It’s no use for you to co," Liu Ruolan said. "They’re using dirty tricks."
She explained that for the past few nights, soone had been dumping manure on the doorstep and windows of Wenwu Pharma. The overwhelming stench naturally affected the company’s operations. The security guards could watch the main entrance but not the windows, and if they watched the windows, they couldn’t watch the entrance. One guard had even been knocked out with a heavy blow, suffering a concussion. Calling the police was useless, as they couldn’t assign officers to stand guard all night. Liu Ruoi had volunteered to keep watch one night, but she failed to catch the culprits and even had manure thrown on her for her troubles.
"Why didn’t you tell sooner?" Zhang Bin howled in anger.
"I thought I could handle it myself, but I had no idea they would be so cunning," Liu Ruolan said, frustrated.
"Leave everything to . I’ll handle it. There won’t be any issues tonight," Zhang Bin said confidently.
"Unless you’re an immortal," Liu Ruolan replied, completely unconvinced.
"How about we make a bet? If I solve this problem today, you’ll really beco my girlfriend. How about it?" Zhang Bin proposed.
"I’m not betting with you," Liu Ruolan retorted coquettishly.
"Don’t be so quick to refuse. I haven’t even ntioned what I’ll do if I lose," Zhang Bin said in a tempting tone. "If I lose, I’ll give you a beauty treatnt that will make your skin even more delicate and fair. Every scar on your body will disappear, leaving you as flawless as white jade."
"You know how to do beauty treatnts?" Liu Ruolan asked excitedly.
Clearly, she was tempted. A beautiful woman is never satisfied and always hopes to beco even more beautiful. She was no exception.
"The only thing I can’t do is give birth. For a Divine Doctor like , beauty treatnts are a piece of cake," Zhang Bin said, thumping his chest.
Zhang Bin’s words made Liu Ruolan giggle. She laughed for a while before saying, "I’m still not betting with you. I can’t bet myself away. It’s a matter of principle."
"Then you na the stakes," Zhang Bin said, his eyes twinkling.
"If I win, you give a beauty treatnt. If I lose, you also give a beauty treatnt. That’s the only bet I’ll make," Liu Ruolan said with a mischievous smile.
"You’re completely shaless, but I’ll agree to it," Zhang Bin said, an evil grin spreading across his face.
Liu Ruolan let out a laugh like the chiming of a silver bell, as if she had just won a great victory.
After ending the call, Zhang Bin imdiately had Tutu conduct a search. A cold, grim smile spread across his face. He grabbed his Bamboo Sword and sped off in his car.
In a gloomy alley off North Street in Nanshan County stood an inconspicuous quadrangle courtyard. Inside the main hall, Zuo Haonan sat sprawled imposingly on a chair. Standing before him were four burly n, his Four King Kongs, all of whom were experts at the Initial Qi Training Stage. They were currently giving their reports.
"Brother Nan, we had a lot of fun with that damn policewoman last night," the lead King Kong reported, grinning. "She might be stronger than us, but there were four of us. We cornered her and splashed manure all over her. The fragrant beauty ended up a stinking ss. Bwahahaha..." He broke into a fit of manic laughter before he could even finish.
The other three King Kongs roared with laughter, doubling over.
Zuo Haonan also sneered. "Zhang Bin, you’re strong, I’ll give you that. You even crippled Turen Xiong. But from now on, I’m playing dirty. I’ll make sure your company can never open its doors. I’ll make your life so difficult you won’t know which way to turn. You’re going to pay a huge price..."
"Brother Nan, Wenwu Pharma hasn’t been able to open for the past three days. We’ll continue tonight," the second King Kong said excitedly.
"They might have called the police, so be careful," Zuo Haonan said.
"Don’t worry, Brother Nan, we have an informant in the police force," the second King Kong said confidently. "Nanshan County is our Nanshan Tiger’s turf. No company that offends us can do business here."
"You also need to watch out for one person: Zhang Bin. He’s very strong, and he might show up tonight. If you see him coming, fall back. Wait for him to leave before you throw the manure," Zuo Haonan said with a sinister smile.
"Understood, Brother Nan. But... are we just going to keep throwing manure?" the fourth King Kong asked hesitantly.
"That depends on how smart the kid is," Zuo Haonan said with a sneer. "If he cos to seeking a truce and pays us 1,000,000 RMB a month in protection money, we can call it off."
"A brilliant plan, Brother Nan."
A fiery light glinted in the eyes of the four King Kongs, their faces filled with greed. They knew exactly how popular Bright Eye Liquid was. A protection fee of 1,000,000 RMB a month was practically a bargain; they were letting Zhang Bin off easy.
Just then, BANG! The door was kicked open.
Zhang Bin walked in, Bamboo Sword in hand and a cold sneer on his lips.
Zuo Haonan and his Four King Kongs weren’t alard in the slightest. On the contrary, their faces lit up with delight. They assud Zhang Bin had co to surrender, aning the 1,000,000 RMB in protection money was about to be theirs.
Zuo Haonan stood up powerfully, a broad smile on his face. "Zhang Bin, what brings you here?"
"Zuo Haonan, I warned you last ti not to walk the path to your own destruction," Zhang Bin said, his voice cold. "You move in the underworld, so you should be shrewd. But all I see is stupidity. Today, I’m here to cripple your cultivation. Once you’re all normal people, you’ll lose your ability to commit evil. I’m doing a service to society. I’m just that noble."
The smile on Zuo Haonan’s face froze. The expressions of the Four King Kongs also shifted.
However, Zuo Haonan didn’t panic. He said angrily, "Zhang Bin, you barge in here without any provocation. Don’t you think that’s a little hard to justify?"
"You threw manure at my company, so I’m crippling your cultivation. It’s that simple," Zhang Bin stated flatly.
"Do you have proof? If you don’t have any proof, experts from the Daoyi Sect will surely co to settle accounts with you. You’ll die a very ugly death," Zuo Haonan said, his confidence unwavering.
"The Daoyi Sect?" Zhang Bin’s brow furrowed slightly.
In the past, he would have had no idea what kind of organization or sect the Daoyi Sect was. But now that he was a mber of the Martial World himself, he naturally knew what it was.
The Daoyi Sect was an organization established by the governnt, comprised of experts from various martial sects, specifically to handle vendettas between martial artists. For example, when Turen Xiong ca to challenge his school, he needed a pretext, which was to seek justice for Teng Qianzhang. The reason Teng Qianzhang himself didn’t go to the Daoyi Sect was that he had no legitimate case.
And if Zhang Bin had no proof that Zuo Haonan threw the manure, Zuo Haonan could later appeal to the Daoyi Sect, and the sect would indeed dispatch experts to punish Zhang Bin.
