Wingyu lay on the bed, his once-vibrant skin now a pale shadow of its former self. His eyes, once filled with determination and sharpness, now looked empty and lifeless, as if they had lost their luster and become blind to the world around them.Attached to his frail body were two IV drips, each delivering essential fluids and medications that seemed to be the only lifeline keeping his deteriorating condition from worsening further. The room was heavy with the weight of uncertainty and the consequences of the choices made by the family head.His health had rapidly declined since that fateful day, and he found himself caught between the decisions he had made for the family's future and the personal choices of his daughter, Ming.Wingyu's condition made him appear as if he were afflicted by some malevolent curse. In his dimly lit room, two of his family members remained on either side of his bed, their faces etched with concern and helplessness. The atmosphere was heavy with anxiety, and
While the doctors grappled with their attempts to reach Rotlitch, whose unavailability frustrated their efforts, two guards rushed into the room, their heavy panting indicating they carried critical information.Yeonwha and her daughter had left the room just moments before the guards arrived, which meant they were unaware of the piece of information, an occurrence that could be both a blessing and a curse, leaving them in the dark about the unfolding events. Tension filled the room as the guards prepared to reveal their news."Excuse us," the first guard, a bald-headed man, spoke with his chest heaving as he finally caught his breath.The head doctor turned his attention to the guard, still attempting to reach Rotlitch on the phone. "What is it?" he inquired, his patience tested by the ongoing efforts to contact the specialist.The guard, picking up on the palpable tension in the room, swiftly relayed the information as succinctly as possible. "Uh... everyone who's had physical conta
Yen made his unannounced entrance into Rotlitch's office, adhering to his usual custom of bypassing the need for knocking.As Yen entered, Rotlitch reacted with a sigh, lowering his head slightly and cradling his face in his hand. "Well, it's a good thing you're here now," he noted, momentarily setting aside the emotions that might have weighed on him. Presently, there was a pressing issue that needed their attention, and Rotlitch was ready to address it."Is there a problem?" Yen's raised eyebrow conveyed his awareness of the underlying tension in Rotlitch's words. He could sense that something was amiss but Rotlitch didn't respond.Rotlitch typically tolerated Yen's unconventional entrance only when there was a significant matter that needed discussing, and it was clear that such a matter was at hand. Yen was keen to understand the nature of the problem.Yen's feigned concern was evident as he inquired, "Is everything all right?" In reality, he wanted the conversation to conclude swi
Yen remained calm as he stood before Cang's motionless figure, who lay on the bed with an IV drip nearby, delivering an unknown liquid into his body, a detail Yen hadn't bothered to inquire about.The guard had effectively guided Yen and the others to the room where Cang was confined. It was difficult to assert that Cang was being treated, as there was no discernible improvement in his condition; in fact, it appeared to be deteriorating. The atmosphere in the room was heavy with uncertainty and concern.The sight of Yen and his colleagues dressed in hazmat suits surprised the other doctors, prompting them to question if they should have adopted the same level of precautions from the beginning.Yen had meticulously ensured they came fully prepared for the task at hand. Additional sets of hazmat suits, along with a solution derived from the antidote he had created, were stored in the trunk of their jeep, ready to be used in case of any issues with their current suits. This solution serv
"That's a very large sum…" The family head of the Wangu family sighed in response to the substantial figure. Clearly, he had not anticipated such a high cost.Yen gazed at the old man with an expression of sympathy, as if he could sense the burden the family head was feeling. Inwardly, Yen maintained a firm stance, knowing he had already lowered the price out of compassion. He silently wished he had added an additional two hundred million to the total."Are you confident that everyone, including those who were never infected, will be cured?" the family head inquired, accompanied by yet another sigh.Yen replied with confidence, "Most certainly. After this, if I should return for another payment, you are welcome to have me arrested." His bold shrug and statement carried an air of finality, as receiving 2.5 billion Khartos would be sufficient to meet his financial needs, and he had no intention of revisiting the family for further payments. Just the half billion attached would have suffi
The engine of a stylish black jeep purred to silence as it came to a stop in front of the imposing central building of the Wuhan family estate.Yen and Rotlitch disembarked from the vehicle, Yen carefully cradling a box in his hands. This unassuming box concealed the very tools that Dr. Trish had handed to him within Cang's room, a critical element in the unfolding events of their negotiation.With a sense of familiarity, Yen entered the building, moving through its halls freely. He had visited this place on multiple occasions in the past.He refrained from making any prior calls or sending text messages to inform Ming of his presence. His visit wasn't a casual one meant to chat with the family head. Instead, it was an official visit made under a unique circumstance. The condition at hand was that the family head and a significant number of other family members were afflicted by a lethal poison, gradually claiming their lives.Aware that simply notifying Ming might put her in jeopardy
Knock! Knock!!A soft, rhythmic knock echoed against Ming's door, but silence hung in the air, like a held breath. A faint, muted thud resonated from the other side, hinting at an accidental drop of something. "Your delivery, Lady Ming," a deep, masculine voice rumbled from the far side of the door. The sound of retreating footsteps slowly drifted away, fading into the distance.Ming let out a slow, steady breath, her lithe frame rising from the embrace of the oversized bed that seemed to swallow her. The room enveloped her in grandeur, a testament to the exquisite taste that was uniquely hers. It was evident that the craftsmen had labored to turn it into the haven it had become.Yet, in this symphony of opulence, there was a jarring note. Ming, usually a vision of radiant health, bore an unsettling change. Her once porcelain skin had been tainted, transformed into a deeper, unsettling shade of green. The insidious poison's tendrils had insinuated themselves into her body, a grim test
Ming's eyes flickered open, greeted by the pleasant surprise of her now normal skin, the poison's cruel marks having vanished. A rush of exhilaration coursed through her, and she hastily left her room, driven by a newfound vitality.Unbeknownst to her, Dr. Trish and Dr. Stan had just arrived, their steps leading them towards the central building of the estate. Ming, unaware of which of the doctors were making their way to the central building, yearned for a chance to express her gratitude to Yen, who had orchestrated her unexpected recovery.The news of the doctors' arrival from Yuan Pharmaceuticals reached Qing, and a determined sense of hope surged through her, despite the undeniable pain that clung to her every step. Her skin, like Ming's had been, bore a troubling green hue, a visible testament to the poison's relentless grip.With a steely resolve, Qing made her way to the central building, each step laden with the weight of her suffering. The promise of the antidote, now tantaliz
The smile on Yen's face lingered as he gazed at the impressive pile of cash before him. The tangible reality of the wealth he had accumulated in just a week was undeniable. The amount could have been even greater if there were more pills available for sale.Yen's grin widened as he assessed the significant profit, even after accounting for the cost of the pills. He turned to Grey, recognizing the crucial role he played in the operation."You deserve a reward for this." Yen patted Grey's shoulder thoughtfully. "How about a few dozen pills to boost your cultivation? I can see you're progressing greatly, so they'll help you advance even further." Yen offered, a satisfied smile on his face.Grey, eager to ascend in stature, nodded almost reflexively. Among cultivators, the truth held firm: the higher you climbed, the greater your standing. Elevated levels brought not just power but also a surge in reputation. Respect flowed effortlessly towards those who soared above the rest.Consider a

A week drifted by since Yen's dealings with Wingyu. The once tumultuous situation appeared to have settled, with neither side dwelling on the events that had transpired.Wingyu redirected his attention towards restoring his family's former glory. Publicly known for losing a substantial part of their wealth due to a threatening ailment, the family's narrative shifted to a tale of resilience, thanks to the timely intervention of the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company. The focus now lay on rebuilding, leaving the shadow of their recent troubles behind in the rearview mirror.Given that Cang and Qing were married, the public took the Wangu family's downturn in stride, somewhat expecting a ripple effect though less severe than the Wuhan family's setbacks.Once again, the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company played the savior, elevating its public image to formidable heights. Already esteemed as one of the city's top medicine producers, the incident catapulted the company into an almost legendary status. T
