Chapter 408: First Provide Five Hundred Aperture-Opening Pills

He Fei never expected Lin Meng to still remember him, even knowing his name; he was momentarily excited and actually spoke incoherently.

"Um, Miss Lin, you still remember me, I I I, actually I just want to thank you; if it weren't for you, I I I…"

He Fei stammered halfway through, his ears already flushed red.

Lin Meng chuckled lightly and said:

"No need to thank me; it's your own courage to dare to try. You're the first person to take my pill, and you quickly proved the value of the Aperture-Opening Pill for me. So we could say it's mutually beneficial."

Hearing this, He Fei felt overwhelming guilt; at the time he actually never thought about proving anything for Lin Meng—he just couldn't bear to keep relying on his family and wanted to make a name for himself.

Having heard that the Aperture-Opening Pill could strengthen the body and develop one's potential to heights unattainable by ordinary people, he got the idea to give it a shot, to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

To be honest, he owed Lin Meng a great favor.

Lin Meng was quickly surrounded by soldiers front and back, boarded a military vehicle, and set off in a grand procession.

By the time Ye Chenjing caught up, even the taillights were no longer visible.

He wasn't actually worried about Lin Meng's safety; the nation's top leaders surely now placed great importance on Lin Meng, and Chief Li's previous attitude showed he would certainly look after her and keep her unharmed.

Ye Chenjing stood where he was, thinking for a long time, then clenched his fists and turned back to his villa.

These past few days he had contacted several martial arts masters, intending to have them help him hone his skills.

He always felt that if he didn't quickly become stronger, he would likely drift further from Lin Meng, a result he could not accept.

Currently the Ye family's wealth is enough to sustain the whole clan, including descendants, without worry; he has already planned to completely withdraw from the corporation to pursue Lin Meng's path.

As for the corporation, as long as nothing goes wrong, he won't expend extra effort; he has hired a top-tier industry team to manage it, only playing a role in major decisions, fully capable of keeping the corporation running.

As for Ye Chenyu, he has also started taking the Aperture-Opening Pill under him and intensifying his martial arts training.

The old gentleman is not hidebound; he especially supports Ye Chenjing in setting aside the business conglomerate to focus on martial arts.

The reason is simple: they obtained an important piece of information.

Not long ago, Qin Feng approached Ye Chenjing again wanting to buy land, and inadvertently revealed that Lin Meng intends to establish a university related to martial arts!

The three generations of the Ye family who are close contacts of Lin Meng are all people who frequently interact with her; Lin Meng's mystery, together with the appearance of heaven-defying pills like the Aperture-Opening Pill, suddenly made them realize that Lin Meng is undertaking a very forward-looking endeavor.

Following her steps is definitely the right choice.

After Ye Chenjing left, the other people in the villas gradually came out.

They secretly witnessed Lin Meng being politely escorted away by military personnel, which piqued their curiosity further; they boldly went to knock on Ye Chenjing's door, wanting to know the details, but he turned them all away.

Soon, a rumor spread through Jing Shi's high society: Lin Meng, a country girl with no family background, might have hooked up with the military and is about to rise spectacularly.

Only a small fraction of those in the know kept their mouths shut; no one further spread the news about the pills.

Everyone understood implicitly that the number of pills was definitely limited, so the fewer people who knew, the better.

If Lin Meng ever intended to sell the pills externally, the profit would go to those few well-informed individuals with tighter connections.

The vehicle quickly carried Lin Meng into the Deep Mountain Military Headquarters; she stepped out holding a large box, and He Fei hurried forward, extending his hand and saying:

"Miss Lin, let me carry that for you."

Lin Meng thought for a moment, then handed the large box to He Fei and said:

"Please be careful; inside is a gift I'm sending to Old Li."

Upon hearing that, He Fei's curiosity was piqued.

Generally, presenting a gift publicly here is a major taboo, but he was certain Chief Li would definitely accept it.

The item in Miss Lin's hand is truly heaven-defying; her gift surely isn't simple.

Lin Meng had just arrived at the main gate when she saw Chief Li already waiting with a group of people.

Upon seeing her approach, Chief Li excitedly broke into a jog, and everyone craned their necks to look.

Only when they saw the young woman escorted by He Fei's party did they realize she was apparently a very young girl; those who had never seen Lin Meng before were stunned.

They had always assumed the provider of the Aperture-Opening Pill would be an elderly person, an immortal with ethereal bearing.

"Young Lin, you've finally come; I've been waiting eagerly!"

Chief Li first gave Lin Meng a happy smile, then caught sight of He Fei holding a box in his peripheral vision, and his heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.

Could the box contain the potted plant Lin Meng promised to give him?

After seeing those three potted plants last time, Old Li had been longing for them, hoping Lin Meng would come deliver potted plants to him.

Now that the person has arrived, there are also many worries; his sleep quality has always been poor—not only is it hard to fall asleep, but his sleep duration is also short.

Were it not for the specialist doctors helping him adjust his body, he probably would have given out long ago.

Even so, he still desperately wanted to possess that Worry-Relieving Orchid.

Of course, he also wanted the Clear Spirit Flower and Joyful Secluded Herb, which would be perfect to give to his daughter-in-law who just gave birth and to the pair of dragon-phoenix twin grandchildren.

After Lin Meng greeted Chief Li and the group of seniors, she was quickly escorted to the secret conference room.

Only ten senior officials remained; they seemed to have been instructed beforehand, and although each was curious and eager to ask Lin Meng about the pills, no one spoke up first to ask anything.

Chief Li didn't waste words, which saved Lin Meng a lot of trouble.

Hardly had the greetings finished when Lin Meng spoke bluntly:

"Chief Li, I can still provide five hundred Aperture-Opening Pills here; how you distribute them is up to me not to interfere."

"Once this batch of Aperture-Opening Pills is finished, the next batch will require another wait; of course, if you want to keep some for continued research, I won't stand in the way."

Refining pills isn't something modern pharmaceutical technology alone can solve; the most crucial factor is spiritual energy, which the modern world simply lacks.

As soon as Lin Meng's words fell, the entire conference room erupted, with several old men and old women jumping to their feet.

"What? Five hundred!"

"With this many, our China is truly going to soar!"

Old Li was equally thrilled; he had thought at most another hundred or so would already be the limit.

He never expected Lin Meng to bring five hundred straight over this time.

Moreover, from what she said, there will be more Aperture-Opening Pills supplied later; it's not a one‑time deal!
