CHAPTER 896: CHAPTER 872: AWE

President Feng received the news.

Every move of the Hao family was under his surveillance.

Although the first time they failed to follow them, it would not be so easy to evade tracking afterward, especially now as Hao Zhigang had already become quite famous.

Once he stepped out of the house, more people were paying attention to him.

The Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pills that the Hao family auctioned off had long made it hard for anyone to ignore them.

Now, the eight major pharmaceutical families were all focused on the Hao family.

Everyone knew that the Hao family was brewing big moves, preparing to reopen and operate its pharmacy business.

Many people dispatched men to carefully investigate the Hao family’s background.

However, the Hao family was very peculiar, they purchased herbs but never bought any elixirs.

Even several pharmaceutical families came to Hao Zhigang to negotiate, placing their elixirs in their store for sale; Hao Zhigang actually refused them all, which was very surprising.

Could it be that their pharmacy was only going to sell one kind of elixir, their Youthful Appearance Pill?

Such a business couldn’t last long.

No one would casually take Youthful Appearance Pills as if they were regular pills or candy.

The Hao family’s store was in the midst of intense renovations.

Meanwhile, the Feng family also got the news.

The Hao family offended the local district police chief Zhao Weidong, who had already listed the Hao family’s three stores as key surveillance targets.

If there was the slightest irregularity against market rules, the Hao family’s stores would suffer.

President Feng couldn’t help but feel excited, this was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.

Once the Hao family suffered misfortune, they would extend a hand, and the alliance between the Feng and Hao families would naturally form.

However, presently he could only hope Zhao Weidong would act soon, but Zhao Weidong was different, he was inherently upright, pure, and overflowing with a sense of justice, one could say he was a sword in the hands of the Medicine God Association.

Despite currently serving as a small district police chief, he indeed already had orders from higher-ups.

After this month, Zhao Weidong would soon be promoted to become the police chief of West City.

This meant Zhao Weidong’s every move might draw attention from various sides. Certainly, Zhao Weidong was a person approved by the top leadership of the Medicine God Association.

Up until now, the Feng family hadn’t figured out why exactly the Hao family had offended Zhao Weidong.

To make Zhao Weidong focus on the Hao family so much, but Zhao Weidong was too upright to bother with conspiracies and intrigues.

So he just supervised alongside, keeping an eye on you, and people are prone to make mistakes, especially in operating a pharmacy.

This involved medication and whether the efficacy was good wasn’t it?

Especially as the Medicine God Association had regulations, if any issues arose in a pharmacy, a dedicated pharmaceutical regulatory platform would intervene. Once it judged that their elixirs had concerns about endangering lives, the Hao family’s shop could close at any time.

The Hao family would be deprived of the qualification to open a pharmacy. Once without the qualification to open a pharmacy, the Hao family wouldn’t completely lose the chance to rise again; it merely deprived them of the ability to operate a pharmacy, not the ability to practice alchemy.

President Feng set his sights on Jiang Xiaoxiao’s alchemy talent.

The Feng family held numerous secret recipes.

Even if Hao Ruxue wanted not to work for the Feng family, it would be unlikely.

Yes!

Everyone received the identity verification showing that Jiang Xiaoxiao was Hao Ruxue, and indeed Hao Ruxue.

As for whether the real Hao Ruxue was alive or dead, no one knew now.

Zhao Weidong indeed had his henchman exaggerating and reporting back, putting Jiang Xiaoxiao in Zhao Weidong’s blacklist covertly.

The henchman described Hao Zhigang as a local bully, an overbearing ruffian.

Keeping a bunch of idle loafers under him, intimidating others in business—a man like that opening a pharmacy, it would certainly be involved in some illegal activities, impossible to operate well otherwise.

Don’t think that here in West City nobody engages in making fake drugs.

Where profits exist, unlawful people will naturally emerge.

Therefore, West City imposed severe punishments for such acts of manufacturing and selling counterfeit drugs.

Zhao Weidong loathed such behaviors because his mother had died from taking fake drugs, without being rescued.

He had tasted the bitter pain of losing his mother when young, so growing up, he was absolutely disgusted by such fake drug manufacturing and selling practices.

Wherever there’s one, he’ll catch one, wherever there’s two, he’ll catch two. Anyone dreaming of escaping his discerning eyes would be daydreaming.

Thus, it could be imagined that Hao Zhigang didn’t know he was already listed by the first police chief of West City and didn’t leave a good impression.

Time flowed like water.

Once the renovation was completed, the entire shop could immediately begin operations.

Tomorrow was the opening, but Hao Zhigang was not happy at all.

The shop was still empty, and his aunt had not explained what exactly was going to be sold.

Youthful Appearance Pill?

He had none on hand, and no other elixirs either.

He hadn’t seen his aunt every day, she was always in her alchemy room, and hadn’t come out at all.

He felt for his aunt being so hard-working, but there had to be some results to show.

Tomorrow’s the opening, and today the shop has nothing—we couldn’t possibly sell air to everyone.

Not only was Hao Zhigang anxious, but even Brother Jin and the others were nervous as well.

The shop was about to open, but there was no stock.

Hao Zhigang, with Hao Zhiqiang, Hao Zhixin, Hao Zhijie, and Brother Jin, were uneasy in the living room downstairs at his house.

The aunt had called them back earlier.

Saying to move the goods, and all their brothers were waiting outside.

Three vans were parked outside, waiting for the aunt’s word to move the goods, they were ready to act.

But so far, Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn’t appeared.

After a moment, a little figure poked its head down from upstairs.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had poured her heart out for these people, not sleeping for days and nights.

Song Ziyuan had come sneakily, preparing so many things.

If it weren’t for her spiritual power support to Jiang Xiaoxiao, the mother might have collapsed from exhaustion.

Refining elixirs wasn’t as simple as imagined; if you didn’t get at least a basic level elixir, did you think randomly adding peach juice would suddenly turn it into Super-grade?

That was a dream.

At least create a prototype of it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had devoted painstaking efforts to refine her handful of secret recipes.

Song Ziyuan felt for Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and come up. I warn you, keep your voice down, my mom just fell asleep, and if you wake her up, you’ll regret it."

Song Ziyuan’s words sent chills down everyone’s spine.

Not out of fear of Jiang Xiaoxiao, but the daunting Song Ziyuan in front of them.

Who would have thought during those days when Brother Jin and a few pals were casually training at the martial arts field, Brother Jin’s skills were known to be formidable. Hoping to train his own men into valuable talents.

Ironically enough, they were caught by this little one, and she was eager to exchange some moves with them.

Initially, Brother Jin told his mates to hold back, as she was just a little girl and the daughter of Hao family’s aunt, they naturally couldn’t spar seriously with her.

But no one expected the little girl to take on everyone there single-handedly, leaving everyone near exhaustion and begging for relief.

It took three days of rest to recover, otherwise none could stand up.

From then on, everyone looked upon the little girl with utmost respect.

They couldn’t win against her.
