Chapter 163: Chapter 161: The Older the Ginger, the Spicier It Gets

"I know the Nangong Family is no simple matter, so earlier inside, I was worried that you might do something rash.

But now that things have come to this, there’s no other way. Face it as you must," Li Yuechan said with bitterness.

"Don’t worry, I can resolve this," Long Chen spoke softly.

"I will face it with you, no matter what happens."

Li Yuechan spoke softly.

"Let’s go home first."

Long Chen took Li Yuechan’s arm.

The two of them returned home, both tacitly avoiding telling Zhao Churan about the incident at the Li Family.

Because telling Zhao Churan would only cause her unnecessary concern and wouldn’t solve the underlying issue.

...

Meanwhile, Nangong Li, who had been severely dealt with, left the Li Family and quickly rushed back to a skyscraper in Qianzhou.

This building was quite famous in Qianzhou and contained high-end shopping centers, bars, KTVs, restaurants, and more.

And it belonged to the Nangong Family.

Nangong Li went straight to the top floor and entered the meeting room.

A group of people were holding a meeting in the room.

Sitting in the seat of honor was a man over fifty, dressed in a black Tang suit, exuding an unspoken authority.

"Father, I’ve encountered a big problem."

As soon as Nangong Li entered the meeting room, he hurriedly spoke to the man.

"We are in the middle of a meeting. Whatever the issue, wait until the meeting is over. Sit down," the man in the Tang suit said sternly.

"Father..."

"Quiet, sit down. You have no discipline at all," the man in the Tang suit said coldly.

He noticed that the bones in his son’s hand were severely injured, but he still did not intend to listen to Nangong Li first.

Everyone else in the meeting room was extremely cautious, and no one dared to speak up.

Nangong Li clenched his teeth. Although he had many grievances, he did not dare to say more and obediently took his seat.

The man in the Tang suit took a deep breath and then said seriously, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Nangong Family has always stayed behind the scenes, away from the public eye. However, recent events have compelled us to step forward.

My family sent me, Nangong Dehua, to Qianzhou because they trust me, and I hope you will all give me full support for our mutual benefit."

"Brother Hua is too modest. We would be more than willing to cooperate with the Nangong Family."

"That’s right, that’s right. Whatever Brother Nangong instructs, just say the word," others quickly said, smiling and flattering him.

Nangong Dehua raised his hand and spoke with a smile, "Then I won’t beat around the bush. Let’s get straight to the point: we want to establish a pharmaceutical company to compete with Dragon Doctor.

Or rather, compete directly with Dragon Doctor.

Of course, we understand that Dragon Doctor has now become a formidable brand, selling globally and exceedingly popular, but it is precisely because of this that there is a challenge."

Hisss.

Nangong Dehua’s words made many people in the room draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

Currently, Dragon Doctor was a behemoth with tens of trillions in worth.

To compete against such a colossus, on what basis?

Nangong Dehua seemed to understand the thoughts of everyone present and confidently said, "Dragon Doctor’s strength is indeed extraordinary, but our methods are not simple.

"Using their elixir formula to produce the same elixirs, then quickly capturing the major global markets with a lower price, tell me, wouldn’t this gradually bring Dragon Doctor to its knees?"

"But, many giants have tried to get that formula before, and none of them have succeeded."

Someone said so.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Zhang Wuxiu, the chairman of Warrior Zhang’s Medical Equipment, right?" Nangong Dehua asked.

"Indeed."

Zhang Wuxiu nodded.

"Regarding the issue you’ve raised, we have already thought of it, hehe, don’t forget, my Nangong Family is a Martial Arts Family. In the Martial Arts world of Great Xia, my Nangong lineage also knows many great masters. No matter how powerful Dragon Doctor is, it’s still controlled by flesh and blood, right? As long as those in control of Dragon Doctor aren’t gods, we have ten thousand ways."

Nangong Dehua stated seriously.

"Then, big brother Nangong, could you share with us your specific next moves?" another person inquired.

"Quite simple, first establish a company, then start to find ways to poach Dragon Doctor’s core talents and devise a plan to obtain the Elixir Formula," Nangong Dehua said.

"Big brother Nangong, is there anything we can help with?" someone asked.

Nangong Dehua smiled faintly and said, "As for the matter of obtaining the Elixir Formula, leave that to my Nangong Family to handle. But to poach Dragon Doctor’s top talent, a large sum of money is needed. If any of you are willing to invest, we can cooperate for mutual benefit in the future. Think of it as investing in the company."

"I’m in."

"I’m in too, and if any other assistance is needed, big brother Hua, feel free to ask."

At the meeting, people echoed one after another.

"Good, since that’s the case, I ask you all to return for now and wait for further news."

Nangong Dehua stood up and said with a smile.

"Big brother Hua, I take my leave."

"Goodbye."

The people in the conference room left one after another.

At this point, Nangong Dehua turned to his son, Nangong Li, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Father, as per your instructions, I approached the Li Family hoping to secure some investment capital. Initially, everything was progressing smoothly; I was even close to joining in holy matrimony with the Li Family’s daughter, Li Yuechan.

However, at the critical moment, a Cheng Yaojin appeared; he’s also a martial arts expert. He injured me and claimed our Nangong Family was too weak to withstand a single blow, insisting that our Nangong Family leave Qianzhou."

Nangong Li added fuel to the fire, extremely anxious to get Nangong Dehua to take his side.

Nangong Dehua listened and became furious: "Who is this person? What is his name?"

"His name is Long Chen," Nangong Li said.

"Long Chen?" Nangong Dehua furrowed his brows. "Among the Martial Arts Families in Great Xia, there doesn’t seem to be a prestigious Long family. It seems this Long Chen is an Independent Martial Cultivator, not to be feared."

"Father, even an Independent Martial Cultivator dares to belittle our Nangong Family. It seems our family has indeed been silent for too long. I truly want to tear that youngster limb from limb."

Nangong Li ground his teeth in anger.

"You are still too young," Nangong Dehua said. "Sometimes, although we possess great martial strength, we do not necessarily have to use force."

"Father, what... what do you mean?"

Nangong Li was puzzled.

Nangong Dehua spoke indifferently: "That Long Chen is not at the heart of your issue. The core of your problem lies with the Li Family. You need to sweet-talk the parents of what’s-her-name Li Yuechan, constantly putting pressure on her. Afterwards, you use some tactics to present a fait accompli, so that without even dealing with that boy, the girl will still become your woman and have him utterly defeated."

"Father, that may be so, but that boy isn’t a pushover. If he catches a chance, I might... be killed by him," Nangong Li said bitterly.

"Isn’t that simple?" Nangong Dehua said. "I will send a few masters to pretend to kidnap Li Yuechan. Use this to threaten Long Chen into coming to her rescue alone, and then you can take the opportunity to have them cripple Long Chen’s Dantian. With his Martial Arts Cultivation gone, won’t he be like a fish on the chopping board, at your mercy?"

"Dad, the older ginger is indeed spicier. I’m impressed, haha, I truly admire you," Nangong Li got excited. "When the time comes, right in front of him, I will make Li Yuechan..."
