That evening.
The fully recovered Elder Luo summoned the entire Jiangnan City overnight.
Announcing Luo Yiren's official entry into control of all Luo family industries, acting with his authority.
Following this, Luo Yiren also issued a statement.
Declaring her support for the Han Corporation and backing Han Xiyao.
The Guan family received the news immediately and reiterated their support for Han Xiyao.
On this matter.
Both families were extremely taciturn.
Publicly, they did not express their support for the Han Corporation because of Zhang Yang.
The reasons behind this remain to be investigated.
However.
Despite the Guan and Luo families not stating their reasons for this move.
The leaders of the business families in Jiangnan City understood perfectly.
These two families were responding to Qin Feng Group's boycott of Han Xiyao earlier that day.
And the Qin family, also one of the three prominent families in Jiangnan.
Upon receiving the news, their household was in chaos and filled with unease.
Those unaware thought the three prominent families of Jiangnan were about to go to war.
Qin Shengnan was summoned back by the Qin family patriarch, Old Master Qin, overnight.
The old and young conversed for a long time.
Only after Qin Shengnan left with a somber expression did the Qin family members finally quiet down.
...
Qin Shengnan returned to her residence.
Being hot-tempered, she immediately smashed the antique ornaments in the living room.
On the spot.
"Truly, the older they get, the more they fear death. The Guan and Luo families have joined forces, and this old man is scared into this state!"
Qin Shengnan said angrily, "If you push me too far, I'll kill you all!"
Liao Zixia guessed that Qin Shengnan must have been reprimanded by Old Master Qin.
He quickly tried to persuade her, "Sixth Senior Sister, you mustn't be impulsive."
"The Guan and Luo families are also established families in Jiangnan City, they must have some foundation."
"Unless it's absolutely necessary, you cannot take this step."
Qin Shengnan sighed helplessly.
She also knew that this move was not wise and temporarily abandoned the idea.
However.
This time, Zhang Yang truly exceeded her expectations.
She had thought that by having Liao Zixia make a move, she could definitely stop the Luo family from helping Zhang Yang.
Who would have thought.
Liao Zixia actually lost to Zhang Yang in medical skills.
"Zixia, is Zhang Yang's medical skill much better than yours?" Qin Shengnan asked.
"It seems so, at least in terms of controlling needles with qi, I'm no match for Zhang Yang," Liao Zixia replied.
"Moreover, Zhang Yang knows the Nine Needles of Yan Luo. Although he only used six needles today, I feel like he knows all nine."
Hearing this.
Qin Shengnan's somber face was almost dripping with water.
It seemed the situation had become much more troublesome.
Zhang Yang's situation appeared to be much more complicated than she had investigated.
And today.
The people she sent to intercept Zhang Yang had failed again.
If it was a single failure, it could be attributed to Zhang Yang's luck.
But two consecutive failures.
It could only mean that Zhang Yang was not simple.
"Sixth Senior Sister, I think we can change our approach," Liao Zixia said.
"Zhang Yang has something the Junior Brother wants, so why don't we offer him terms for an exchange?"
Qin Shengnan pondered slightly upon hearing this.
Liao Zixia, due to her medical studies, had a kind nature.
Therefore, Qin Shengnan did not want her to know too much about certain matters.
"Zixia, things are not that simple. Junior Brother's matter is very involved."
"Before I came down the mountain, Master also warned me that this matter must absolutely not be revealed," Qin Shengnan said.
"What exactly does Junior Brother want? We searched Zhang Yang's house that night and couldn't find it," Liao Zixia was very curious.
"It's a token, I don't know anything else," Qin Shengnan vaguely replied.
Qin Shengnan did not want to discuss this matter with Liao Zixia too much.
She waved her hand dismissively.
"Zixia, it's getting late, let's rest."
After speaking.
Qin Shengnan turned and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.
Only Liao Zixia looked puzzled.
But she didn't press Qin Shengnan for details, and quietly returned to her own bedroom.
Back in her bedroom.
Qin Shengnan stared at the night outside the window, her eyes narrowed.
Now that the Guan and Luo families had stepped in to support Han Xiyao.
Old Master Qin had also instructed her tonight to let the matter rest.
And not to escalate the conflict between the three families.
But.
If this were the case.
The bet between Han Wenkang and Han Xiyao would essentially be lost.
This would mean.
There would be no way to obtain what Junior Brother wanted without arousing Zhang Yang's suspicion.
Now.
She had to find a way to break the deadlock!
After a long period of contemplation.
Qin Shengnan's narrowed eyes shot out a sharp glint.
"Since Zhang Yang is difficult to deal with, then don't blame me for starting with Han Xiyao."
Having thought of a solution.
Qin Shengnan immediately took out her phone and made a call.
"Hello, help me with something, consider it a favor owed..."
...
On the other side.
While Qin Shengnan was tossing and turning, Han Wenkang's home was brightly lit.
"Dad, what do we do now?"
"It's only been a day since the bet, and we've already fallen behind Han Xiyao by three hundred million in orders," Han Shaowei said anxiously.
Han Wenkang's expression was grim as he smoked, lost in thought.
He took one puff after another of his cigar.
Causing.
The entire hall to be filled with smoke.
Han Wenkang was also very flustered now, feeling a strong sense of crisis.
He had thought that by latching onto the Qin family, he could completely seize control of the Han family.
Who would have thought.
The Guan and Luo families would support Han Xiyao.
And the reason for their support was entirely because of Zhang Yang.
If he had known this.
He should not have let Zhang Yang join the Han Corporation, even if it meant falling out with Han Xiyao back then!
However, it was too late to say this now.
Han Wenkang had spoken with Qin Shengnan on the phone earlier, discussing some matters.
She had even made him give up on vying for the remaining potential cooperative enterprise in Jiangnan City.
Although this made Han Wenkang very puzzled, he could only choose to trust Qin Shengnan now.
However.
Han Wenkang would not put all his eggs in one basket.
This bet.
Qin Shengnan and her group were targeting Zhang Yang.
As for Han Wenkang.
He wanted to seize control of the Han Corporation.
Therefore, for the sake of his own aspirations.
He had to do something.
Currently.
They were three hundred million yuan behind Han Xiyao in orders.
This amount.
Was already considerable in a place like Jiangnan City.
Furthermore, with the three major families involved in the bet, other enterprises dared not get involved.
The current situation.
They could only start from other aspects.
Suddenly.
Han Wenkang gave a strange smile.
This made Han Shaowei, who was paying close attention to him, shiver.
"Dad, have you thought of a solution?"
"Well, since we can't win over anyone from the outside, we'll have to disrupt from the inside," Han Wenkang said with a smile.
...
Qin Shengnan and Han Wenkang did not sit idly by.
Both were racking their brains to win the bet.
Regarding these matters.
Zhang Yang was unaware.
When the sun rose the next morning, Zhang Yang also got up to wash.
Before leaving.
Zhang Yang put a few Guiyuan Pills in his pocket and then left to catch the early bus.
Admittedly.
The bus during the morning rush hour was truly crowded, packed with people.
The steamed bun and breakfast Zhang Yang bought were squeezed into flat cakes when he got on the bus.
Moreover, he was pushed by someone behind him when he boarded.
He stumbled forward, almost falling.
Although he was unharmed.
However, the Guiyuan Pills in his pocket.
One of them was accidentally dropped.
Zhang Yang didn't notice and headed straight to the Han Corporation for work.
However, not long after the bus left.
A green jeep stopped beside the bus stop.
Two middle-aged men with square faces, wearing camouflage uniforms and buzz cuts, appeared beside the bus stop.
"Captain, the place where that old hero lives is not far from here."
"This is an old residential area, the car can't get in, let's go on foot."
"Yes." The captain nodded upon hearing this.
Just as he was about to leave, his foot stepped on something round and hard.
This was precisely the Guiyuan Pill that Zhang Yang had accidentally dropped when he boarded the bus.
The team member lifted his leg to look and his eyes showed surprise.
"This..."
Then, the captain squatted down and picked up the Guiyuan Pill, examining it carefully.
Suddenly he exclaimed.
"This looks like a pill! How can there be a pill in a place like this?"
To verify the authenticity of the pill.
The captain peeled off the outer layer of the Guiyuan Pill, scraped off a small piece, and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly.
A warm current surged within the captain's body.
In a moment, the captain felt his blood qi surge considerably.
His entire being instantly became excited.
Such medicinal efficacy.
It was more than ten times better than the pills distributed by the army!
One must know.
The pharmacist in their unit was a master alchemist.
And a pill refined by a master alchemist being surpassed tenfold.
Then that would mean...
"I didn't expect that in this small Jiangnan City, there would be a Grandmaster Alchemist cultivating in seclusion!"
"No, we must find this Grandmaster!"
...
Zhang Yang did not expect that the Guiyuan Pill he unknowingly lost.
Would cause certain groups to become extremely excited.
When the bus reached the stop, he walked for ten minutes.
Arriving at the Han Corporation.
Today, Zhang Yang was not late.
Entering the marketing department.
Zhang Yang headed straight for his office.
As soon as he entered.
He saw two figures, one black and one white.
Gao Xiaohei and Li Dabai, sitting together, were quite a striking contrast.
Watching the two with arms around each other, Gao Xiaohei's hands were constantly typing on the keyboard.
Li Dabai, on the other hand, had his eyes wide open, looking as if he had never seen the world before.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask, "What are you guys doing so early in the morning?"
