Master Yu's appearance immediately intimidated these people, causing them to lose all confidence in vying for first place.
Jiang Yi looked at Master Yu with great interest.
This old man could concoct the Huatuo Powder, which suggested he had some skill.
However, it was a pity he had bad luck and met him.
He was destined to miss out on first place this year!
"It seems the Shen family intends to play a big game this time, actually sending Master Yu as well!"
Shen Lu's brows furrowed slightly.
Shen Lu believed in Jiang Yi's abilities, but Master Yu was also very capable, causing Shen Lu some worry.
"Does Master Yu have such great abilities?" Chen Kun asked Shen Lu curiously.
Although Chen Kun was from Lishi City and knew many influential figures, he had never encountered pharmacists before, and this was the first time he had heard of Master Yu.
"Master Yu is a truly capable individual, otherwise, the Shen family wouldn't have spent a fortune to invite him!" Shen Lu said.
"Hmph!"
Shen Kun snorted, "What's so great about him? Compared to Big Brother's abilities, his are nothing worth mentioning!"
Chen Kun's tone was very confident!
He absolutely believed in Jiang Yi's abilities.
In Chen Kun's opinion, Jiang Yi could handle Master Yu with ease.
Shen Lu remained silent, but her expression was still grave.
Master Yu was followed by another person, a member of the Shen family named Shen Feng.
The competition within the Shen family's inner circle was fierce. With Shen Quan out of the picture, Shen Feng immediately stepped forward.
He wanted to achieve something significant and gain the favor of the Shen family patriarch.
Shen Feng had long aspired to be the next patriarch. He had always been suppressed by Shen Quan, leaving him with no opportunities to showcase himself.
After Shen Quan's downfall, Shen Feng's chance finally arrived!
Soon, Shen Feng spotted Shen Lu and sneered before walking directly towards her.
"I didn't expect you, a traitor, to be here!"
Shen Feng stared at Shen Lu and said, "I've heard all about you. You colluded with someone named Jiang Yi to research a new drug, attempting to defeat our Shen family's Huatuo Powder. Truly suicidal!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Shen Lu's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
If Shen Lu wanted to kill Shen Feng, it would be no difficult task.
After all, Shen Lu was an assassin!
But Shen Lu did not do so.
Killing Shen Feng and the Shen family like this would be too easy for them.
Shen Lu wanted to witness all the members of the Shen family descend into despair step by step.
"You must be Jiang Yi!"
Shen Feng's gaze then fell upon Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi completely ignored Shen Feng's presence.
This made Shen Feng furious.
"Hmph!"
Shen Feng snorted contemptuously at Jiang Yi, "With your meager abilities, you dare to participate in the pharmacist competition? You're simply courting death!"
"Have you heard of Master Yu? Everyone in the industry knows his capabilities. In front of him, you are nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Feng asked angrily.
"I'm laughing at the undeserved reputation of the Master Yu you speak of. I've developed a new drug that's even better than Huatuo Powder, and your Shen family's Huatuo Powder is finished!"
"Don't worry, we won't keep your Shen family waiting too long!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Jiang Yi, I truly don't know where you get your confidence!"
"I've already investigated. No one is buying the new drug you've developed! Who would buy such rubbish?" Shen Feng sneered.
Shen Feng was extremely arrogant.
"I don't want to argue with someone like you. Since I don't feel like dealing with you right now, get lost!"
Jiang Yi's gaze turned sharp.
His words drew the attention of many onlookers.
After all, the Shen family was the most powerful entity in the pharmaceutical industry of Lishi City.
No one in the same field dared to provoke the Shen family, let alone tell a Shen family member to get lost.
Jiang Yi was the first.
"You dare tell me to get lost? I'll kill you today!"
Shen Feng's face was filled with rage, and he reached out to grab Jiang Yi's collar.
Before Jiang Yi could make a move, Chen Kun acted!
"You dare touch my Big Brother? Are you looking for death?"
Chen Kun grabbed Shen Feng's arm and slapped him!
The slap sent Shen Feng staggering, his head ringing, and his face immediately swelled up.
Shen Feng was completely enraged!
This was the first time he felt so humiliated.
He had just been scolded by Jiang Yi and told to get lost.
Now he had been slapped by Chen Kun.
"You bastard, I'll kill you today..."
Shen Feng glared at Chen Kun with murderous intent, "Your Chen family played tricks on our Shen family's medical guests, and now you hit me! Sooner or later, I'll personally kill your Chen family!"
Seeing that Chen Kun was a martial artist and he hadn't brought any thugs with him, Shen Feng could only accept his misfortune.
However, Shen Feng was unyielding in his words, vowing to kill Chen Kun and the Chen family.
Shen Feng's threat completely enraged Chen Kun.
Chen Kun was not afraid of Shen Feng at all and grabbed him by the collar.
"Kid, I'm afraid you won't live to see that day. I'll cripple you right now. Once you're disabled, let's see if you can still act so arrogant in front of me."
Seeing that Chen Kun was about to make a move, Shen Feng suddenly chickened out.
Shen Feng never expected to encounter these two fearless individuals, Jiang Yi and Chen Kun, today.
In reality, Chen Kun wasn't fearless; he had Jiang Yi backing him.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over.
This middle-aged man was the director of drug supervision in charge of this competition, surnamed Wang.
Those who knew him respectfully called him Director Wang.
"Stop all of you!"
Director Wang sternly reprimanded them.
Chen Kun did not want to escalate the situation, nor did he want to cause trouble for Jiang Yi, so he released Shen Feng's collar.
"Kid, I'll let you off today. If you dare to say anything disrespectful to my Big Brother again, I'll break your neck!" Chen Kun warned Shen Feng.
"If you have the ability, then make a move. I want to see how capable you are!"
Shen Feng remained defiant.
Shen Feng had lost a lot of face this time. Only by threatening Chen Kun could he regain some of it.
"All of you, shut up!"
Director Wang's sharp gaze fell upon Chen Kun and Shen Feng.
Seeing Director Wang's anger, Shen Feng dared not speak further.
"I don't care about your grievances, but anyone who dares to cause trouble here will not be spared!"
"If you want to fight and kill, go elsewhere. I cannot tolerate anything of the sort," Director Wang said calmly.
"Director Wang, I want to report Jiang Yi for producing counterfeit medicine!"
Shen Feng pointed at Jiang Yi and said to Director Wang, "It's this kid. He's been bragging everywhere about developing a new drug. I know that drug; it's an inferior product, completely unqualified!"
"Nonsense!" Chen Kun cursed at Shen Feng.
"Director Wang, you see, the people around Jiang Yi are like this. Jiang Yi must not be any better; he lacks even the most basic decency!" Shen Feng declared.
Chen Kun was so furious he almost killed Shen Feng on the spot.
