Chapter 814: Chapter 818: The Underachiever’s Red Packet Group (25)
Mike, with bloodshot eyes, rushed to Old Wes’s pharmacy. The store was firmly shut, with a crowd outside clamoring for dicine, unwilling to leave.
He hesitated for a mont, deciding not to approach.
Their bloodshot eyes made him feel a chilling anxiety when they looked at people.
Little did he know, his current appearance was no different from theirs, and passersby who glanced at him felt the sa.
The sa fear.
Mike searched throughout the city for places to buy dicine, only to find them either experiencing the sa chaos as Jack’s or shut down early like Old Wes’s.
The dicine in hospital pharmacies was imdiately requisitioned.
This action from above made the already angry people lose all reason.
A city without firearm control quickly descended into chaos.
With survival hopes dashed, they might as well continue causing trouble.
When people thought this was their most severe mont, reality showed them it was wishful thinking, and even harsher challenges awaited.
Following the decree on dicine restrictions, restrictions on goods were swiftly implented.
In recent years, Hua Country, already a construction fanatic, seed to have taken a magic blue pill, transforming the entire nation anew.
Houses beca sturdier, roads broader, and their country’s goods were more perfect.
Compared to dicine restrictions, export restrictions seed trivial.
But… you were still too young to see the dangers.
This decree initially seed harmless, but in a month, six months, or a year, all citizens would be horrified to find that Hua Country’s products had infiltrated every aspect of their lives.
Everything was marked with made in China.
Terrifying indeed…
As the key figure driving all this, Su Li kept her achievents hidden.
The Su Family gained imnse benefits because of her, allowing them to develop rapidly.

“Where’s the young master?”
“Upstairs.”
“Make sure he’s prepared well. We can’t let the Su Family find any fault; this ti, that Lady Su is indeed attending.”
Xue Shichang, holding his aching head, shook vigorously.
Just waking up, he heard clearly from downstairs his father’s voice, who had passed many years ago.
Xue Shichang couldn’t hide his surprise; after all, his father had long been angered to death by his own power-hungry ambitions.
Yet now, alive again before him, it was astonishing indeed.
Xue Shichang slowly straightened up, glanced at his phone, and realized he had sohow relived his past.
Even with his strong will, he couldn’t help but feel excited over such a twist.
In his previous life, he was outsmarted, lost the woman he loved, and the Xue Family was reduced to a third-rate family by that man’s attacks. Now, given another chance, he was sure he could do better. The victor was undecided now.
Wanwan, wait for . Once I seize power from the old man, I’ll co straight for you.
Brimming with confidence, Xue Shichang concealed his sinister gaze and walked out.
Downstairs, Mr. Xue frowned upon seeing his son, questioning unhappily, “Why haven’t you changed your clothes yet?”
“Aligning with the Su Family is the only way to save the Xue Family now.”
“This ti, no matter what, you must make Miss Su favor you.”
Xue Shichang, long accustod to a king-like regard, was unaccustod to Mr. Xue’s forceful approach.
Suppressing the surge of anger, he nonchalantly retorted, “With our family’s status now, apart from the Xu and Qin families, who can shake our position?”
“And what is this Su Family anyway? I’ve never heard of such a formidable family.”
That feeling of incongruence bothered Xue Shichang; he knew a family with the surna Su, but in his past life, it was wiped out by him and the heads of the Xu and Qin families, leaving no trace.
As soon as Xue Shichang finished speaking, Mr. Xue rcilessly slapped him, scolding, “You scoundrel, I thought you had improved, but…”
Mr. Xue, furious with his unfilial son, clutched his chest and panted for a long while, saying, “The Su Family isn’t what it used to be, trampled under our feet. Now, every family lives in Su Family’s shadow.”
Xue Shichang: “…..” Slightly dumbfounded, even his fierce deanor softened sowhat.
He felt the world he knew and Mr. Xue’s were not the sa.
An unsettling feeling crept in, making his expression more serious.
“Especially after the announcent of new energy, we’re like oil on fire….”
“New energy? Impossible….” Xue Shichang exclaid in shock.
The ergence of new energy shouldn’t happen now, nor should it be controlled by Hua Country.
He rembered clearly, in his past life, due to his family’s downfall, the impact of new energy on the Xue Family wasn’t severe, as their energy mines no longer belonged to them.
His country had to obtain new energy through maneuvering by that man.
By then, the man who had Yu Wan was all-powerful, becoming soone Xue Shichang envied and hated, yet couldn’t retaliate against.
Mr. Xue’s figure suddenly drooped, his back hunched, “Yet, it’s a fact.”
“I went to great lengths to find out, the upper echelons have delegated a part of new energy construction to the Su Family, so…” Mr. Xue, gathering his strength, looked fervently at his son, “You must win over Miss Su.”
Finally, Xue Shichang felt the world’s malice towards him.
Once Mr. Xue left, he locked himself in his room, face cold, and quickly searched for information on the Su Family.
Years ago, the Su Family rose swiftly, and a series of events was transparent on the internet, except for the mysterious Su Family daughter.
But, while others were unaware, Xue Shichang knew.
Miss Su, Su Li, in his eyes, bore only one label: the one who once hurt Wanwan.
With excellent academic performance and exquisite looks… without Wanwan’s presence, he might not hesitate to engage in a romance with such a socialite lady of high society.
But his heart was sick with a serious lovesickness because of Wanwan’s appearance.
Thinking of that person made his heart ache.
Xue Shichang didn’t know where things had gone wrong.
From his investigation, all his life’s experiences mirrored his past life, except from a few years ago… when the Su Family erged unexpectedly…
Xue Shichang suddenly had a flash of insight in his mind.
The Su Family, Su Li… perhaps he understood why.
It seed this banquet was one he couldn’t afford to miss.
