Chapter 396: Chapter 395: Nehemiah Blevins Has Another Show

Jerome Hart’s clan hailed from a lineage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, their greatest expertise being the Silver Needle Techniques. It could be said that David Hart was the most authoritative in the way of the Silver Needle, and Jerome had fully inherited David’s skills.

He explained in detail the method of needling, the depth required, and so on. Although the process was simple, it was also very complex. Too deep wouldn’t do, and neither would too shallow.

Yusuf Zuck was bound to seek revenge. Since his adversary was too powerful, a blatant retaliation would only attract bigger trouble. Hence, the Lethal Needle could solve many problems.

All Yusuf had to do was to silently infiltrate the enemy’s side and, when the enemy was asleep, administer a needle. The enemy would then die in their sleep, and even if there was an autopsy later, it would indicate death by cerebral hemorrhage, with no wounds found, no signs of poisoning, and thus be ruled a natural death, excluding the possibility of homicide.

In that way, no one would come looking for Yusuf Zuck.

"I’ve been thinking, after the new year, I need to keep the clinic going. I don’t know what else to do, so I have no choice but to run the clinic." Jerome Hart was chatting with Yusuf when they had already gone through more than a dozen cans of beer.

"Next year when I’m free, I’ll study Silver Needle Therapy with you. I’ve found it to be quite miraculous."

"Heh, did you score with Faye?" Yusuf asked in a low voice.

"Score my ass." Jerome glanced upstairs before whispering, "Just touched hands a few times, and kissed once. She won’t let me touch anywhere else; it’s so frustrating."

"Haha." Yusuf laughed heartily upon hearing his complaint.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about Faye. That’s your business. Tell me about the state of Xing’an Pharmaceutical Factory. Weren’t you there a while ago? I’m going there tomorrow." Jerome had spent some time in Inner Mongolia as assistant to the chairman, so now he held a senior position in Xing’an Pharmaceutical Factory, as did Faye, the financial director.

"Well, regarding the pharmaceutical factory, Sonny King still has his act together. The guy knows his business, and I can’t fault him on the big picture. But there are some problems. After observing for a while, now’s the time for me to tell you..." Jerome shared the issues he and Faye had encountered at Xing’an Pharmaceutical Factory, including management problems they had discovered.

...

On the morning of January 20th, Yusuf called Fleur Carson. He and Ruth Wilcox were still in Tianjin, apparently waiting for work to wrap up. After all, it was the end of the year, and once they wrapped up, it would be time for a long holiday and settling the workers’ wages.

He also took time to visit the hospital, looking in on Ember Vance and having a chat with Sophia, who indicated that Ember was likely to awaken before or after the Spring Festival.

At half past twelve noon, Yusuf arrived at the highway toll booth junction. Ember, that girl, was even earlier than him, having already arrived and was waiting for him inside a taxi.

The girl wasn’t short of money, and it was too cold to wait by the road, so waiting inside a taxi was the best choice.

"Hey, does our trip start now?" She bounded into the car, excitedly waving her arms and legs. It was just the two of them, heading to a strange city. Just thinking about it excited her; she was so happy she could barely resist throwing her arms around Yusuf and kissing him fiercely.

"Buckle up, sit tight, and don’t move around. We’re going to Inner Mongolia on serious business. We have to head back tomorrow morning because the day after tomorrow, I have a wedding to attend. So, traveling out of town is going to be tough."

"I don’t mind the hardship. I’m happy as long as I’m with you. But whose wedding is it? Take me with you, can I contribute a gift too?" Mia was extremely curious. She had mostly lost touch with her friends from Beijing, so she was pretty bored being on her own!

"Better not. You’re not very familiar." Yusuf felt awkward. Mia wasn’t part of his social circle, and he hadn’t planned on bringing her or perhaps Ruth into his own circle.

"Not very familiar? So, you mean someone I know?" How clever was Mia? She immediately seized upon the key point.

"It’s Marlon Shepherd, he’s getting married the day after tomorrow." Yusuf thought for a moment and then said.

"Ah, Lawyer Shepherd! He’s my friend!" Mia’s face lit up with a smile when she heard what Yusuf said. Marlon had interacted with her while he was in Hong Kong, and after Yusuf left, she had met up with Marlon a couple of times. Thus, Yusuf’s lawyer was her friend too!

"No way, I absolutely must go. He’s a friend, after all. It wouldn’t be nice to not go, right? I even have his phone number. I’ll just go by myself the day after tomorrow and call him."

"Fine, if you want to go, just go." Yusuf Zuck was speeding along the highway, and this time he was extra cautious, scanning the cars in front and behind with telekinesis.

"Hmm, you’re afraid I’ll see your... your affairs, right? Relax, I know my limits." Mia knew that Yusuf Zuck was also a ’cat’, and there’s no cat that doesn’t eat meat, so she was sure to meet some of Yusuf Zuck’s female friends eventually.

"When did you buy this car? It’s really smooth to drive." Yusuf Zuck changed the subject.

"Bought it less than ten days ago, if you like it I’ll give it to you." Mia said nonchalantly.

"Can you tell me how much you have in personal savings?" Yusuf Zuck asked out of curiosity.

"Not quite two hundred million, but I have a credit card that I can overdraw... But there’s nothing I really want to buy, nowhere to spend all the money."

"Why doesn’t your aunt want kids?" Yusuf Zuck shifted the topic again.

"Why, why, why ask so many questions? It’s her choice whether she wants them or not, what’s it got to do with us? Let’s talk about something else, what are you doing in Inner Mongolia? You’re not meeting a lover, are you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t bring me along."

"I have a pharmaceutical factory in Ulanqab where I own some shares, so at the end of the year, I go there for a meeting, listen to reports, hand out red packets and such—basically, going there means spending money!"

"Wow, you own a pharmaceutical company? That’s awesome! Just a few months ago, you were a security guard, a driver, and now in just months, you’re so successful you can’t get any more successful. How did you do it?"

"Actually, I’m an immortal..." Yusuf Zuck chuckled hehe.

"Then I’m the mistress of an immortal." Mia immediately hooked her arm around Yusuf Zuck’s and began giggling nonstop.

By six in the evening, Yusuf Zuck and Mia arrived at the Xing’an Pharmaceutical Factory in Ulanqab. The factory manager, Sonny King, and his wife Sadie Blevins personally welcomed them, along with a group of the company’s executives, department managers, and so on—more than twenty people.

Instead of discussing production or business right away, they joined the car convoy heading to the country villa of Nehemiah Blevins.

It was Mia’s first time there, and it was a bit cold, so Manager King had someone find a new military coat for Mia to wear.

As chairman, Yusuf Zuck always brought some pretty girls with him, they were used to it. Besides, a young and rich chairman naturally had no shortage of beautiful women around him.

That evening, they ate roast lamb, beef, and drank a few kilos of alcohol. Afterwards, they were arranged to stay in the guest rooms at Nehemiah Blevins’ villa. Yusuf Zuck, being cautious, requested two separate rooms, one for Mia and one for himself. Mia had no objections.

She may say what she says, always teasing that Yusuf Zuck is too timid to dare anything, but in reality, she is a very conservative girl. She wouldn’t just give herself to Yusuf Zuck after just one trip out with him.

Right after they entered their rooms separately, Nehemiah Blevins knocked on the door of Yusuf Zuck’s room.

"Mr. Blevins, you still haven’t had enough to drink?" Nehemiah Blevins was Sadie Blevins’ cousin, a man influenced by wine, women, and wealth, a real character.

"Is everything okay? Are you coming to the night’s entertainment?" Nehemiah Blevins didn’t beat around the bush and sat down as soon as he entered Yusuf Zuck’s room.

"I’d attend a fart, I wouldn’t even go for the girl next door, you guys have fun, I’m not interested!" Yusuf Zuck immediately shook his head. He could have if he wanted to, Mia probably wouldn’t refuse, but he wouldn’t and didn’t want to.

"Hey, where did your mind go?" Nehemiah Blevins laughed heartily: "You’ve brought a lady companion; do you think I’d arrange that kind of entertainment for you? I’m talking about a few friends who are going hunting, it’s about time they left. Are you coming? Shoot a couple of guns, maybe get a rabbit or a wild chicken or something."
