Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Replicating the Snow Lotus

Doctor Xu did not even look up as he asked, "What’s the matter?"

Hong Cheng stepped forward, pressing down on the box containing the Snow Lotus flower, and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Xu, I want you to destroy this Snow Lotus."

"Destroy, destroy it?"

Shock flashed across Doctor Xu’s mind, and he looked up at Hong Cheng incredulously, "Second Master, do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course, I know. My elder brother’s health is already failing, can you guarantee that this medicine will cure him?" Hong Cheng coaxed persuasively, "Rather than letting my brother continue to suffer, why not give him a swift end?"

"Second Master, doing this would mean betraying the Family Head!" Doctor Xu said sternly, "This goes against my professional ethics."

"Five million," Hong Cheng cut to the chase, stating his price bluntly, "This is almost twenty years’ salary for you. You can take the money and leave right away if you wish."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu was stunned, his expression starting to waver.

"But if word of this gets out..."

"Don’t worry, just pretend it was a processing error. After all, this is the first time a Snow Lotus has appeared; who would imagine such a scenario?" Hong Cheng said with a beguiling tone, "At that time, the blame won’t fall on you. You can just take the money and run, and no one will trouble you afterward."

After hesitating for a long while, Doctor Xu finally clenched his teeth and said, "Deal! But after today, you must send me away immediately!"

Although he had agreed to Hong Cheng’s terms, Doctor Xu knew that Hong Cheng’s offer clearly involved his own plot.

If he continued to stay here, he would eventually be settled with after the fact by Hong Cheng.

"Heh, you’re quite smart," Hong Cheng patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry, you’ll be sent away immediately after today."

Ten minutes later, Hong Qing Yan looked at the destroyed Snow Lotus in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You, you destroyed the... Snow Lotus?"

Doctor Xu’s face was full of guilt, and he lowered his head, saying, "I apologize, Miss Hong, this was my first time handling the Snow Lotus, and I accidentally... destroyed it."

"What do you mean, ’accidentally destroyed it’?" Hong Qing Yan was almost going mad, "Damn it! Do you know how precious this Snow Lotus is? I finally managed to get my hands on this Snow Lotus!"

Doctor Xu felt even guiltier, but remembering the five million, he still apologized with a stern face, "I truly apologize, Miss Xu, I am willing to pay for my mistake!"

On the side, Hong Cheng also lay by the bed, his face full of mournful sorrow, "Big brother, you truly have unfortunate luck... I am so sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Qing Yan glared fiercely at Hong Cheng. Her first reaction was to suspect that her second uncle had tampered with it.

But seeing him acting as if he was wailing to the heavens, the accusing words she had could not leave her mouth.

Just then, Ning Fan sneered and said, "Hong Cheng, it was you who had Doctor Xu destroy the Snow Lotus, wasn’t it?"

Hong Cheng’s body stiffened, and he abruptly raised his head, glaring angrily at Ning Fan: "What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing! Stop slandering me here!"

Ning Fan gave a look, and Su Qingcheng, with a cold face, stepped forward and took out a recording pen from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Ning Fan pressed the play button, and the conversation between Hong Cheng and Doctor Xu came out from the recording pen.

"Just destroy the Snow Lotus... This is your twenty years’ salary... Don’t worry... guaranteed to send you away..."

The conversation was clear and unmistakable as the voices of Doctor Xu and Hong Cheng.

Both of them were shocked and angry, not having anticipated this recording or where it might have come from.

Ning Fan and Su Qingcheng exchanged glances, revealing a meaningful smile.

As soon as Hong Cheng had gone downstairs, Ning Fan had noticed immediately and had Su Qingcheng follow him.

With Su Qingcheng’s skills, they hadn’t let the two notice anything at all, and easily got their hands on the recording.

"Hong Cheng! You bastard! You actually want to kill my dad!"

Hong Qing Yan stood up, her eyes filled with vengeful bitterness as she stared at Hong Cheng and rushed up to him, punching and kicking.

Hong Cheng instinctively tried to block, but a surge of Spiritual Power was injected into his body, causing his limbs to stiffen immediately, and he was unable to move.

After venting her rage, Hong Qing Yan turned to Ning Fan with a pleading look, "Mr. Ning, what do we do now?"

Hong Cheng stopped pretending at this point and stood up with a spiteful smile, "Yes, I was the instigator. Whatever the Family Head can do, I can do, and what the Family Head can’t do, I can still do. Why should he be the Family Head and not me?"

"The position of Family Head should have been mine!"

At that moment, Ning Fan calmly spoke up, "Too bad, it looks like you probably won’t become the Family Head."

Hong Cheng’s expression froze, and he fixed his gaze straight on Ning Fan, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the Snow Lotus you destroyed was just a part of it." Ning Fan swept his hand across the Storage Ring and then took out a Jade Box.

Upon opening the box, a Snow Lotus flower was perfectly placed inside.

Ning Fan lifted the Snow Lotus, and it was then that everyone noticed the difference.

The entire Snow Lotus flower looked as if it had been thinned by half, making the petals seem as fragile as paper.

"I felt something was off beforehand, so I managed to separate part of the Snow Lotus and reconstituted it into a new flower."

Everyone was stunned at this revelation.

After all, this Snow Lotus looked no different from the previous one, as if it was an exact replica.

No one could imagine how Ning Fan managed to split the Snow Lotus into two identical flowers.
