Chapter 308: 308 Xu Qingmu knew that Ji Pianran was actually not dead_1

This seed is given by the system, and as for the growth cycle, no one understands it better than Gu Chen.

However, to ensure that the seed grew even better, he had secretly sprinkled a considerable amount of Spirit Spring Water onto it.

Originally, he merely wanted to conduct an experiment, but now it seemed that the results were quite pleasing.

Even the Spirit Spring Water diluted a hundred times over still took effect on land outside the System Domain.

Although its potency was greatly diminished, it was still countless times stronger than any ordinary farm fertilizer or commercially available products.

Once this was confirmed, he could legitimately package batches of the Spirit Spring Water.

As long as he publicly claimed it was his own formulation of crop nutrients, there would be absolutely no suspicion.

Not only could he use it himself, but he could also sell it to the villagers—anyone who wanted it could buy it directly from him!

In this way, his biggest secret, the Spirit Spring Water, was legally and justifiably packaged as a proprietary commercial secret of his own company.

If anyone tried to pry into this secret in the future,

Gu Chen even had a sufficient reason to send such nefarious individuals to prison.

However, what Gu Chen didn’t know was that at this very moment, elsewhere,

a tall, grim-looking man was standing in the hall of a manor.

He was dressed in a well-tailored, high-end suit, exuding a cool dignity and a distinctive aura unlike others.

However, the indifference and malice that currently glinted from his eyes were intimidating to behold.

"Heh, you’re telling me she’s still alive? That bitch, she even had a child?"

Echoes of his chilly laughter reverberated ceaselessly within the opulent hall, causing the numerous bodyguards and servants present to tremble with fear and remain motionless.

Their gazes were tightly fixed on the floor beneath their feet, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

"Smack!"

Just then, the man abruptly slammed his palm onto the table, startling the silent Butler beside him, who shuddered.

The Butler quickly stood up with respect, bowing his head in fear as he spoke.

"Young, Young Master..."

Xu Qingmu snorted coldly, his tone frostier than ever.

"Useless, all of you are a bunch of useless fools. I sent you to investigate, and you tell me she’s already dead. Do you know what mistake you’ve made?"

If it weren’t for Ji Changming telling him that Ji Pianran was still alive and that she had married and had children, he would have believed she had long since died.

"Young Master, please spare my life!"

The Butler, upon hearing this, dropped to his knees in fright, continuously kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Heh, spare you?"

Xu Qingmu’s lips curled into a cruel smile.

"I told you to bring her to me at all costs. The price for deceiving me—you know what it is."

Terrified, the Butler trembled all over, hastily pleading.

"Young Master, please give me a chance to live. I—I am still useful. I can help you find that bitch, and who knows, maybe the news is fake, after all. It’s been so long, Ji Pianran might already be dead."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a crisp "smack!" was heard.

Another sharp slap landed on the Butler’s cheek, leaving five red finger marks that seemed somewhat frightening.

The Butler, who had just been talking non-stop, was instantly silenced by the blow, seeing stars and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Now, this instant, immediately go verify for me—I want her exact whereabouts! Also, I want to see who the fool is who dared to marry a woman I, Xu Qingmu, had my eyes on!"

Xu Qingmu’s face was filled with a sinister look.

The Butler, not daring to resist, continued to kowtow on the ground, quickly acknowledging with a reply.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xu Qingmu barked out a command.

"Get out!"

At his words, the Butler scrambled up and stumbled out of the hall.

"Bitch, I will make sure you pay for everything you’ve done!"

Xu Qingmu gritted his teeth, his face twisted with extreme distortion.

His anger was clearly at its peak.

Then his chilling gaze turned towards the group of trembling servants, causing him to let out a cold snort as he spoke.

"Clean this place up. If I find even a trace of dirt, you’ll all roll out your bedding and get lost!"

"Yes, Young Master, we will clean it up right away!"

A group of servants quickly approached and began to clear the bloodstains on the floor of the hall.

...

Three days later, Gu Chen received news from the Ji Family that the batch of goji berries he had sent had successfully arrived in Chuan City.

Under the guidance of Ji Guangsheng, they were fully displayed and put on sale in the Ji Family’s stores.

Upon receiving the goji berries sent by Gu Chen, Ji Guangsheng even launched a major marketing campaign to support the sales.

He even utilized numerous connections and informed the heads of various herbal medicine firms.

He also specially sent people to invite officials from various herbal markets in Chuan City, a level of importance that was unprecedented.

Such an effort was something only a powerful family like the Ji Family could undertake.

After all, the entangled web of various family powers in Chuan City made the lucrative business of patent medicines all the more complex.

Without Elder Master Ji personally presiding over the matter, no one would dare to touch this sensitive area.

For those with insufficient experience, inadvertently offending some significant figure and being suppressed would be disastrous.

All of this was observed by Gu Chen.

Especially seeing how seriously Elder Master Ji took his business, he felt quite touched.
