356: Chapter 256: The Young Pharma Tycoon’s Conspiracy 356: Chapter 256: The Young Pharma Tycoon’s Conspiracy Xiang Yu and his companion followed behind until they had left the city and walked a distance further before they stopped.

Here, they said goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city, and the surrounding green waters and green mountains made for a very pleasant environment.

Liu Yuhang led the few people to a residence.

It consisted entirely of bungalows, but they were clean and tidy, which made them comfortable to look at.

Liu Yuhang took Xiang Yu and the others to a courtyard and as soon as they entered, they saw a middle-aged man in the center practicing boxing—it was the kind of Tai Chi used for fitness.

“Dad, I have some friends over,” Liu Yuhang quickly approached and said.

The middle-aged man was naturally happy to see his son return, but then he put on a stern face and said, “You still remember to come back, huh?

Haven’t seen you for two months.”

Although the middle-aged man pretended to be angry, everyone could see that he was actually very pleased.

Hearing that Xiang Yu was his son’s friend, he quickly invited Xiang Yu and the others into the house.

During this time, he glanced inadvertently at Xiang Yu’s abdomen, and Xiang Yu caught the subtle movement.

Xiang Yu was also secretly surprised—it seemed this middle-aged man could discern his injuries; truly, the greatest experts were hidden among the common people.

Xiang Yu and the others sat down, and then chatted with the middle-aged man.

He was not as temperamental as Liu Yuhang had described; on the contrary, he was very hospitable.

Seeing the timing was about right, Xiang Yu then said, “Uncle, to tell you the truth, the main reason we came today is to have you treat my injury.”

The middle-aged man smiled as though he had known all along and responded, “I’m not a doctor, how can I treat your injury?

You should go to a hospital, that would be proper.”

Upon hearing that the other party seemed reluctant to help, Tie Zhuzi became a bit anxious.

If Xiang Yu hadn’t given him a stern look, he would have exploded already.

At this moment, Liu Yuhang stepped forward in some anxiety and said, “Dad, please help my boss.

I’ve already boasted in front of him that you could heal him within five days.”

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Yuhang with some anger in his eyes, clearly displeased with his son making claims without consulting him.

“So you’re Yuhang’s boss, my apologies for the oversight.” The middle-aged man saw that Xiang Yu was so young and yet Liu Yuhang’s boss, which must mean he was no ordinary person.

However, the idea of treating Xiang Yu’s injury was difficult for him.

“Uncle, there’s no need to be polite.

If there’s any trouble you’re facing, we will do our utmost to help, should you need our assistance,” Xiang Yu said, perceiving the middle-aged man’s helplessness.

The middle-aged man shook his head weakly without saying a word, clearly disinclined to treat Xiang Yu’s injuries.

“Boss, can you really help us?” Liu Yuhang asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yuhang,” the middle-aged man, seeing Liu Yuhang wanted to speak, quickly spoke up to stop him.

After all, he wasn’t very familiar with Xiang Yu and didn’t know what kind of person Xiang Yu was.

If he was just the son’s boss with no other ties, then he couldn’t be trusted.

“Dad, we can’t keep letting people bully us, you might swallow your pride, but I can’t.

Even if the boss doesn’t stand up for me, someday I will confront them myself,” Liu Yuhang said with some agitation.

The middle-aged man hadn’t expected his son to be so emotional today; he could only sigh and then shook his head and went inside the house.

“What exactly is going on?” Xiang Yu asked, watching the middle-aged man enter the room, then turning to Liu Yuhang.

Liu Yuhang took a deep breath and said, “A year ago, a severely injured person came for treatment.

At that time, he was on his last breath.

My father exerted great effort and finally healed him.

In gratitude, he wanted to give us money, but my father refused.”

At this point, Liu Yuhang took another deep breath to calm the anger in his heart before continuing, “Seeing that we didn’t accept money, he decided to stay and help us.

We were quite busy and short-handed at the time, so we agreed.

Little did we know, this man was very scheming, and in the span of a month, he managed to get his hands on many of our family’s traditional medicine recipes.”

“After he got his hands on them, he left.

Eventually, he applied for patents on many things and then came back to threaten us, saying that these were now his and forbade us from selling them or treating and saving people.”

Liu Yuhang was very angry as he spoke, trying to suppress the rage within him, but he couldn’t help trembling.

At this moment, Tie Zhuzi couldn’t hold back anymore.

He slammed the table and stood up, face flushed with anger, “What kind of beast is this, to repay kindness with malice?

Why did you heal him?

It would have been better to let him die.”

Tie Zhuzi was very angry now; he had no capacity for logical thinking and simply saw it as Liu Yuhang healing a beast, not realizing that at the time, they had no idea what kind of person the other party was.

“Perhaps this was already their plan,” said Xiang Yu calmly as he sat there.

Liu Yuhang quickly nodded, “We only found out afterwards.

In order to get their hands on our family’s secret formulas, they knew we would definitely heal him, and so they used a ploy of self-injury.

Since then, my dad has never treated anyone again.

He always says people nowadays are corrupted and he can’t easily trust anyone.”

Liu Yuhang spoke with a touch of sadness, and Xiang Yu and the others could feel his anger yet helplessness.

“What’s his name?

Tell me, and I’ll take care of him for you,” said Tie Zhuzi, who had already stopped suspecting Liu Yuhang was a swindler and felt some sympathy for him instead.

Liu Yuhang looked down, then glanced at Xiang Yu, knowing he was the one who had the final say in this matter.

Xiang Yu gave an easy smile and said, “If this is true, I will definitely help you.”

“It’s the absolute truth.

If a single word I say is false, may I be struck by lightning,” exclaimed Liu Yuhang, elated that Xiang Yu was willing to help.

In Liu Yuhang’s mind, Xiang Yu was a big boss, and with the big boss stepping in, perhaps there was truly a chance for redemption.

“Forget those useless words, I just want to know who this bastard is,” urged Tie Zhuzi impatiently.

Liu Yuhang clenched his teeth and said bitterly, “It’s the recently reputable Xi Mountain Pharmaceutical.

The young man who deceived us is their chairman’s eldest son, Feng Tao.

We had no idea at the time.”

Seeing the indifferent expressions on Xiang Yu and the others’ faces and no strong reaction, Liu Yuhang continued, “Xi Mountain Pharmaceutical wasn’t well-known originally, but after stealing our family’s secret recipes, they have gradually gained prominence.

Recently, they’ve been in the limelight, appearing frequently on television.

However, the medicine they produce is actually diluted and not pure.”

Since Xiang Yu was not truly a businessman in the traditional sense, he did not recognize these people.

But no matter who they were, since he had already agreed to help, he was determined to assist to the end.

“Don’t worry, leave this matter to us, and we will give you a satisfactory answer,” said Xiang Yu simply.

Seeing that Xiang Yu’s attitude was not as fiery as that of Tie Zhuzi, Liu Yuhang felt somewhat disappointed, or maybe Xiang Yu was just talking and didn’t truly intend to help.

After all, how many big bosses keep their word…
