Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Such a top quality (3)_1

As she left the house, Li Wanying was exceptionally cautious. She reluctantly went to work only after a multitude of reminders. Those who came to pick her up saw how dearly she loved her stepdaughter, and word of Li Wanying’s tenderness and kindness quickly spread far and wide.

Shangguan You sneered as she watched Li Wanying’s feigned concern and snorted in disdain.

With the departure of the elders, only the three siblings and the Shangguan Family’s elderly matriarch remained in the house. Zhang Ma had been called over to keep the old lady company.

Shangguan Rou sat next to the Shangguan matriarch, occasionally telling jokes that kept the old woman laughing heartily, while Shangguan Qing sat aside, reading the newspaper. Soon after, Gui Jun and Gui Mo arrived, and the trio went straight up to the study on the second floor. In the living room, Gui Luo and Shangguan Rou continued to entertain the matriarch. Just then, Shangguan You’s phone rang. She picked it up and went upstairs to her room to chat.

Otherwise, she feared she would feel nauseated. Shangguan Rou was truly revolting with that coquettish voice; it sent shivers down her spine.

"Youyou, you heartless woman! You didn’t even call me when you got back home. Do you know how worried I was? I wanted to call you yesterday, but I was afraid it wouldn’t be convenient for you," Zhu Li’s loud voice came from the other end of the line, immediately launching into accusations against Shangguan You.

"Zhu Li, I’m doing very well. I was actually thinking of calling you, but it seems you beat me to it. We really do think alike," Shangguan You said with a light laugh. Zhu Li was her first friend, and Zhu Li’s call had been the first one she received upon returning. Shangguan You kicked off her shoes, lay down on her bed, and chatted with Zhu Li intermittently.

"Youyou, you’re doing so well you’ve forgotten all about me," Zhu Li said, her tone slightly sorrowful. It felt as if Youyou had forgotten her the moment she returned home.

After hanging up with Zhu Li, Shangguan You called the Li Qing and Li Lan siblings, as well as Zhong Mingyang. She asked about the development of their affairs and the current progress of the pharmacy. She also transferred eighty million to their accounts, instructing them to proceed according to plan.

All the necessary procedures were now complete. All that remained was for the You Family chain to officially begin operations after the New Year. The original problem of tight funds had been resolved by her eighty million. Listening to Zhong Mingyang’s itemized report, a slow smile touched Shangguan You’s lips. B City will be the first step to my success.

"Miss, you finally remembered us," a lazy voice drawled over the phone. It was unmistakably Long Hua. After a few days without contact, he was as arrogant and deserving of a beating as ever. Hearing his voice, Shangguan You felt an urge to punch him.

"Long Hua, you talk too much. How are things progressing?" Shangguan You’s cool voice cut in, prompting Long Hua to straighten his attitude immediately. He didn’t dare test the witch’s methods again.

"Miss, everything is proceeding according to plan. Many gangs in B City have already joined our ranks. We’re still dealing with those who refuse, but many of our brothers have been injured," Long Hua reported, summarizing the past few days. He knew from Zhong Mingyang that Shangguan You possessed many potent medicines. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Furthermore, she herself possessed incredible Medical Arts. If I could get some medicine from her, I could save on medical expenses for my injured brothers and pay out less money. He and Chu Yi, as co-leaders of the mafia, were now seriously short on cash, as were the Li siblings.

"Miss, I heard from Zhong Mingyang that your medicine is very effective. I was wondering if you could give us some for our brothers. As you know, Miss, all our money is invested in the pharmacy, and we’re in desperate need of cash," Chu Yi’s voice said over the phone, getting straight to the point.

Short of cash? Shangguan You was frustrated. These mafia bosses, of all people, telling me they’re short of cash! Well, it’s true they gave me their money first, but they also have shares, after all.

"Zhong Mingyang has some. Have him give you a few bottles of the antiseptic medicine for wounds, or the Health Pill. Only those two are suitable for your injuries; other medicines wouldn’t be."

"Thank you, Miss!" Chu Yi then asked, "Oh, and about the Jade Dew Pill, could you give us a few more bottles? Consuming it seems to be really good for the body. If the brothers can recuperate properly, we’ll be in a better position to vie for territory."

"Chu Yi, Long Hua," Shangguan You’s voice turned cold. "The Jade Dew Pill is not like other elixirs. It can improve one’s physique, but its existence must be kept secret from anyone we don’t absolutely trust. I’m sure you understand the principle: ’An innocent man gets into trouble because he possesses something others covet.’ I don’t want our enterprise targeted and endangered before it has even succeeded."

She currently lacked strength, so she couldn’t afford to reveal anything that might put her at risk. Once she reached the peak of her power, these people would pose no threat. But for now, she needed to maintain a low profile.

"Miss, we understand," Chu Yi replied after a moment of silence, evidently having grasped her point.

"Good. After the New Year, I’ll send you a big gift," Shangguan You said with a light chuckle. She hadn’t forgotten the boxes of guns in her space. If she gave those she had acquired to Long Hua and Chu Yi, they would surely be thrilled.

After hanging up, Shangguan You swiftly entered her space. Looking at the dark mass atop the Purple Lotus, she shook her head. What on earth is that thing?

Not only has it entered my space, but it has also taken over the spot where I usually practice! I used to enjoy sitting on the lotus leaf, absorbing the Spiritual Energy within the space, but now this dark mass has occupied my spot—the place most abundant in Spiritual Energy.

Shangguan You jumped onto another lotus leaf and sat cross-legged, beginning to practice according to the Medicine King Canon. I’ve been stuck on level 2 for some time now. I must become stronger. I have to break through to level 3!
