Lei Qingtian solemnly declared, "I guarantee it! Not a single person who colluded with Song Ruize will escape. The sa goes for those online trolls. Every last one of them will be dealt with! I promise we'll settle this score for you and restore integrity to Jingnan Prefecture!"
Song Ruize was in complete despair. His life was ruined.
Yang Qi gave Song Ruize a cold look and said, "I told you, this ti, I won't give you any chance to make a coback! Do you think the Wang Family will dare to protect you now? It's better to be an upright person. Your crooked ways were bound to fail sooner or later!"
Song Ruize was drowning in regret. He wondered if this all could have been avoided had he simply not provoked Yang Qi. But now, regret was useless.
When Song Ruize was led out of the White Dragon Villa, a large crowd had gathered. They threw rotten eggs, tomatoes, and stones at him!
"You villain! You almost made us bla an innocent man!"
"You traitor! To think you'd actually help the people of Kappa Country!"
Even with guards protecting him, Song Ruize was beaten until he was covered in injuries and filth. The most severe judgnt awaited him. His life was as good as over.
"Hahaha, that was so satisfying!" Inside the room, Yao Ran was ecstatic. "Seeing that villain get his couppance is just fantastic!"
"Isn't it? During his tenure as president of the Elixir dicine Association, he did so many disgusting things," Elder Chen Guo said, also looking very pleased.
"Alright, celebrations are over. It's ti to get back to work," Yang Qi said as he began assigning tasks. "From now on, within the National dicine Association, Elder Chen Guo will continue to handle dical affairs. Yao Ran, you co to Jingnan Prefecture and take charge of matters related to elixirs. As for the president of the Kang City Elixir dicine Association, you can choose soone you trust."
Although he was the President of the National dicine Association, it was rely a titular position. He wouldn't actually be coming into the office. After all, he was soone who enjoyed a free and unrestrained life. Especially after beginning his Immortal Cultivation, he longed even more for the peace and quiet of the wilderness.
At that sa ti, in a clubhouse in Thunder City, Chuyun Xiong and Zhang Gong were seated. Kneeling before them were Tian Lili and a few other students who were close to Chen Baixiang.
"Why did you bring them here?" Chuyun Xiong asked irritably after downing a glass of wine.
Zhang Gong smiled. "You must really want Yang Qi dead, right?"
"What do you an?" Chuyun Xiong asked.
"If we kidnap Chen Baixiang, we can lure out Elder Chen Guo. And if we lure out Elder Chen Guo, we can lure out that Yang Qi! Once he's here, we can do whatever we want, can't we?" Zhang Gong said with a grin.
"Brilliant!" A vicious glint flashed in Chuyun Xiong's eyes. The recent failure had been a massive blow to him. If he couldn't kill Yang Qi, the man would haunt him for the rest of his life.
"Ladies, I have a cruise ship offshore. I wonder if you might be interested in having so fun?" Chuyun Xiong suddenly asked, turning to Tian Lili and the others.
"Yes, of course!"
Unaware of Zhang Gong and Chuyun Xiong's plan, Tian Lili and her friends were thrilled. Not only would they get to party on a cruise ship, but more importantly, it was a chance to curry favor with a powerful figure like Chuyun Xiong. Even though he had lost the competition, he was still exceptionally talented, having refined a true elixir. His future was bright. Besides, as the Young Master of the Hanfang Association, he was definitely more powerful and influential than Yang Qi. If they could just form a small connection with Chuyun Xiong, they might even be able to emigrate to Kappa Country. They felt no loyalty toward Dragon Country, their minds consud with dreams of emigrating and becoming esteed foreigners.
On the way to the cruise ship, Chuyun Xiong said with a smile, "Could you give Chen Baixiang a call? I might be heading back to Kappa Country soon, and I'd like to apologize to her before I leave. Of course, don't ntion my na just yet. I want it to be a surprise."
"Sure!" Not suspecting a thing, Tian Lili imdiately called Chen Baixiang, telling her there was a rare opportunity to go out and have fun and that she should hurry over.
At that mont, Chen Baixiang was still sulking. Her willfulness and arrogance had caused her to offend Yang Qi, and now she had no chance to even speak with him.
"Alright, don't take it so hard," Elder Chen Guo said, stroking his granddaughter's hair with a smile. "Rember to learn from this mistake and don't repeat it in the future. I believe Mr. Yang isn't a petty person. As long as you conduct yourself better from now on, his opinion of you is sure to change! After this incident, it's ti for you to grow up!"
"Mhm!" Chen Baixiang nodded. She had truly learned her lesson, and it was a profound one.
"By the way, there's one more thing," Elder Chen Guo added. "Your teacher, Zhang Gong, is not a good person. Stay away from him. And that Tian Lili, too. She'll only lead you into trouble. Don't go anywhere she asks you to."
"Grandpa, you're being stubborn again," Chen Baixiang chuckled. "Tian Lili might be vain, but she's always been very good to . She's my best friend. She would never betray ."
"'Best friend'? Heh. Your 'best friend' almost led you to your ruin. What would have happened to you if it wasn't for Mr. Yang?" Elder Chen Guo sighed and turned to leave. The National dicine Association had just been established, and he still had a mountain of work to deal with.
After her grandfather left, Chen Baixiang went out anyway. She refused to believe Tian Lili would harm her. Besides, she was in a terrible mood and thought going out to have so fun might help clear her head.
In the evening, Elder Chen Guo finally finished his work and returned ho, only to find a note on the table. After reading it, his face went pale with shock. He frantically dialed the number written on it.
"If you want to save your granddaughter, co alone."
Without a second thought, Elder Chen Guo rushed out of the house. He had only one granddaughter. Spoiled or not, he couldn't let anything happen to her.
Yang Qi awoke from a deep slumber. He had seed fine during the Elixir dicine Conference, but in reality, it had placed a trendous drain on his Spiritual Power and Divine Thought, forcing him to get so proper rest. He woke up and was about to get sothing to eat when his phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Yang, please save my granddaughter! I'm begging you…" On the other end of the line, Elder Chen Guo's voice was fraught with anxiety and terror.
Yang Qi's brow furrowed. "You've been kidnapped? Your voice is trembling. Soone is with you, right? And their target is , isn't it?"
"Heh, you're a sharp one, kid!" a familiar voice suddenly cut in.
"Chuyun Xiong, it's you?" Yang Qi said with a frown. "Have you lost your mind? Are you really doing sothing this insane just because you lost a competition?"
"Cut the crap! Listen up," Chuyun Xiong snarled into the phone. "You might not care about Chen Baixiang, but Elder Chen Guo is your right-hand man. You can't be indifferent to his fate, can you?"
