Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 25: A Meeting with President Du Bailei

As Lin Feng listened to Lai Peng’s account, a sudden idea struck him. ’Attacks, shrinking of the body, veins twisting like tangled roots...’

He rembered encountering similar symptoms in the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records. Surprisingly, these symptoms weren’t even a sign of Qi Deviation.

Observing Lin Feng’s deep in thought, Lai Peng asked, "What’s wrong? Do you think you can really heal the president?"

Lin Feng answered cautiously, "I need to examine him more closely to be sure. Could you take to et the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce?"

Lai Peng responded with a hesitant smile, "I’m not sure President Du Bailei would agree to see you. My position in the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce isn’t high enough to easily arrange a eting with him."

"Why don’t we focus on evaluating these items first?" Lin Feng suggested, steering the conversation towards a more practical matter.

"Alright," Lin Feng agreed. He shared his insights with Lai Peng, "Out of these five items, I’ve identified three. They are the Easy Spirit Pinecone, the Three-Leafed Yin Soul Grass, and the Aconite Snake Pattern Flower."

"However, I must admit I’m unable to identify the pill furnace and the bottle," he added, maintaining a tone of professional honesty.

"What! You actually identified them! And three, no less! Are you really sure you’re not just making this up?" Lai Peng looked at Lin Feng with wide-eyed amazent. His initial expectation was for Lin Feng to rely try, prepared to accept failure.

Much to his astonishnt, Lin Feng had successfully identified three of the items.

"These are the characteristics of the three spiritual plants. You can have a skilled alchemist verify my findings." Lin Feng confidently wrote down the properties of the three spiritual plants on the paper with his assessnt results.

"Wow!" Lai Peng couldn’t contain his admiration. "It seems you’ve really identified these three treasures!"

Although Lin Feng had impressively proven his skill, his accomplishnts were greatly diminished due to Jiang Chen’s ddling, resulting in him receiving only minimal rewards.

"By the way," Lin Feng asked, nodding thoughtfully, "When can you arrange for to et the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce?"

"I’ll check on that. Given that you’ve identified these three treasures which have puzzled the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce for years, it’s very likely that you’ll get a eting with President Du Bailei." Lai Peng replied with a renewed sense of optimism. He imdiately began reaching out to his contacts to arrange a eting with the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce.

...

anwhile, at the temporary base of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce, just outside the three-story white building, Jiang Chen, Ning Xian, and Qiu Liaoxi strolled casually.

Jiang Chen’s wandering, however, wasn’t without purpose. Learning that President Du Bailei of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce was unwell, and possibly the patient Lin Feng was set to treat, he was busy concocting sches to disrupt Lin Feng’s plans.

While mulling over his options during their walk, he formulated a plan to persuade Qiu Liaoxi to try treating President Du Bailei. This move, he hoped, would undermine Lin Feng by using his own allies against him.

While it seed that Lin Feng was the only one capable of curing President Du Bailei’s illness, Jiang Chen held onto a different plan. He believed that if Qiu Liaoxi could accurately diagnose the president’s condition, he could then use the System Mall to acquire the necessary items for treatnt.

Furthermore, Lin Feng first needed to secure a eting with President Du Bailei of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce before he even had a chance to offer treatnt.

Originally, Lin Feng should have had easy access to President Du Bailei, owing to his impressive performance in the appraisal competition. Such a performance would typically have caught the eye of many senior mbers of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce, paving the way for him to et the president.

But now, due to Jiang Chen’s subtle manipulations, he was forced to rely on Lai Peng, a relatively junior mber of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce, to arrange a eting with President Du Bailei.

As they embarked on this task, they were likely to encounter so of the higher-ranking mbers of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce. Anticipating this, Jiang Chen sent a ssage to his uncle, Jiang Xingtai, instructing him to keep a close watch on these senior mbers.

Jiang Chen’s goal was to ensure that if anyone tried to set up a eting with the president for dical purposes through these influential figures, there would be obstacles to block their efforts.

...

At that mont, Ning Xian looked uncertainly at the bustling small building and hesitated, "Is this the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce’s encampnt? Do we really need to et their president?"

"Yes," Jiang Chen replied with a sly smile, clearly plotting sothing. "I’ve heard their president is ill, and considering Master Qiu’s exceptional dical skills, I thought it might be worth suggesting she take a look."

"If Master Qiu could cure him, it would be beneficial for both her and !" he added, revealing his ulterior motives.

"Mhm," Qiu Liaoxi nodded, her tone practical and focused, as she explained to Ning Xian, "Besides, Lin Feng needs a lot of spiritual plants. If we succeed in treating the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce, we could buy more spiritual plants at better prices."

She then turned to Jiang Chen with a respectful gesture, her voice tinged with gratitude, "In that case, we must rely on Young Master Jiang’s assistance."

Without Jiang Chen’s involvent, it would indeed be a formidable challenge for them to secure a eting with the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce.

"Then let’s go!" Jiang Chen said with a light chuckle, signaling Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi to follow him.

"Young Master Jiang Chen!" The female attendant, who had t Jiang Chen before, hurried over to greet him.

"Haha," Jiang Chen responded, performing a fist and palm salute before addressing the female attendant. "I’ve heard that President Du Bailei isn’t feeling well, so I’ve brought two alchemy experts to help. I have no doubt they will bring him back to full health!"

"I see, I’ll go inform the higher-ups right away!" The female attendant’s expression brightened with understanding, and she quickly excused herself to pass on the ssage to her superiors.

In fact, the illness of the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce was common knowledge, attracting many who wished to treat him. Each arrival was marked with confidence and bold promises, but ultimately, they all failed to help and departed without success.

Consequently, most attempts to treat President Du Bailei were t with skepticism and often rejection. However, Jiang Chen’s notable status made a difference. Therefore, the female attendant conveyed the news to the higher-ups with a sense of urgency and great respect.

Not long after, the female attendant returned, her face bright with a smile. "The President’s condition has improved slightly," she announced. "Upon hearing that Young Master Jiang Chen has co back with skilled alchemists, he was very pleased and has requested that Young Master Jiang Chen co to see him imdiately."

The truth was, Du Bailei was skeptical that the people Jiang Chen brought could actually cure him. Yet, due to the recent strengthening of ties between many senior mbers of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce and the Jiang Clan, he was inclined to give them an audience.

Moreover, this was Jiang Chen’s second visit, and bringing alchemists with him showed his concern. Even if they couldn’t cure his ailnt, the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce appreciated Jiang Chen’s efforts. Therefore, President Du Bailei readily agreed to et with Jiang Chen.

"Excellent, please lead the way!" Jiang Chen said eagerly, his smile reflecting his satisfaction.

Soon, guided by the female attendant, Jiang Chen, Ning Xian, and Qiu Liaoxi reached a tranquil room on the third floor. There, they saw a man cloaked in a black robe, his stature tall and lean.

This man was Du Bailei, the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Comrce.

With just a thought, Jiang Chen activated his special ability, Villain Eye, and the character panel of the other individual appeared before him.

[Na: Du Bailei

Realm: Early-stage Mysterious Platform

Status: Supporting character

Fate Value: 682]

’Sure enough, he is a supporting character, but I didn’t expect him to be at the Mysterious Platform realm,’ Jiang Chen thought with a hint of surprise as he scrutinized Du Bailei’s information panel.

’The most formidable figure in Autumn Glory City is only at the Mysterious Platform realm. This ans Du Bailei must be Lin Feng’s most powerful ally in this ’novice village’,’ he mused internally, analyzing the situation.
