Chapter 112

The news of the Emgrand Group blacklisting the Xiao Group spread quickly.

Just as the whole of Jin Ling knew that the Xiao family was finished, news spread that Old Mrs. Xiao had been hospitalized for emergency treatment due to anger.

After Ye Chen's father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, heard this news, he was surprisingly calm.

He said to his daughter and son-in-law, "With my mother's personality and her psychology of having to control others for a lifetime, suffering losses is only a matter of time. There's nothing worth sympathizing with. Let her reflect in the hospital; perhaps she can figure out where she went wrong in her life!"

Ye Chen felt that his father-in-law had always been muddled, but this time it was rare for him to see the essence of things clearly.

While the family breathed a sigh of relief, his wife, Xiao Churan, began to quietly research looking for a job.

In the evening, just after Ye Chen finished cooking, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

He turned around and saw Xiao Changkun walking in from outside with a joyful face and vigorous steps.

Seeing Xiao Changkun's happy appearance, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Dad, you went for a stroll; what good thing did you encounter?"

"Hahaha, it was truly good luck today." Xiao Changkun said excitedly, "After I took the pill you gave me, not only did the pain in my body disappear, but my spirit is also better; it's simply a miraculous medicine."

"And so, I just went for a stroll in the antique street; guess who I met?"

"Who?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could his father-in-law have been fooled again by a vendor selling fakes and slaughtered like a fat sheep?

He hurriedly looked Xiao Changkun up and down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiao Changkun's hands were empty, and he wasn't holding anything.

Xiao Changkun took a sip of tea and said mysteriously, "Son-in-law, do you remember that Zhang Ermao who specializes in cheating people that we met in the antique street last time?"

"I remember, what's wrong?"

"Haha, I met this kid as soon as I went today!"

Ye Chen was shocked, "Dad, you didn't buy his goods again, did you?"

"No." Xiao Changkun waved his hand and said excitedly, "This Zhang Ermao now knows I'm your father-in-law and doesn't dare to play any tricks at all. Not only did he give me an ancient jade pendant, but he also helped me sell the pills."

Ye Chen furrowed his brow; the ancient jade pendant Zhang Ermao gave his father-in-law was probably a fake, but it was strange that he actually helped his father-in-law sell medicine.

"What pills?"

"The one you made for me, the medicine for treating falls and injuries, called something like Heart-Saving Pill." Xiao Changkun slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "My injuries are all healed. After Zhang Ermao heard that this pill was so effective, he said he had connections and wanted to help me sell the pills. I gave him two, and I didn't expect them to actually be sold!"

Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

The pills weren't anything rare, and his father-in-law would have just thrown them away if he couldn't finish them, but this Zhang Ermao really knew how to exploit loopholes; he even had a way to sell the medicine his father-in-law had left over.

"Dad, this medicine isn't the right prescription; how could it be sold?"

Xiao Changkun said, "I don't know about that, but Zhang Ermao helped me sell the medicine. Guess how much it sold for."

"More than a thousand?"

"That amount doesn't even cover the fraction." Xiao Changkun proudly held up his palm: "It's five hundred thousand!!"

"Pfft!"

Ye Chen was drinking water and immediately spat it out.

He found it hard to believe that pills with a cost of less than a hundred yuan were actually sold for five hundred thousand by this profiteer Zhang Ermao?

Which unlucky person with more money than sense was fooled by this profiteer again?

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Which sucker did this profiteer sell the medicine to?"

"I don't know about that; Zhang Ermao said he has professional ethics and wants to keep it confidential for the client."

After Xiao Changkun finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, "He transferred all five hundred thousand to my card without missing a cent, saying it was to honor you. I offered to give him some hard-earned money, but he didn't want it. This Ermao really has a talent for business. When he stops dealing in fakes one day, I'll advise him to find a proper job."

Ye Chen shook his head.

A person like Zhang Ermao is a dog that can't stop eating excrement!

He has been cheating and swindling since he was a child; it has become a daily routine. If he were really made to work for a day, that would probably be the end of him.

Working is impossible; he will never work in this life.

However, since the pills were sold at a high price by his father-in-law, it could be considered a subsidy for household expenses.

Anyway, the Xiao family recently broke away from the Xiao company, and Xiao Churan might be unemployed at home for a while, and his father-in-law probably won't get his dividends from the Xiao company anymore, so this money can just be used for the transition.

Having gained five hundred thousand for nothing, Xiao Changkun's originally low mood was swept away; he hummed the Peking opera "The Red Lantern" all the way into the bedroom, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Ye Chen returned to the bedroom and told Xiao Churan about this.

Xiao Churan almost jumped off the bed and asked nervously, "It's easy to talk about the money someone spent a high price on for pills, but if something goes wrong after eating them, can we escape the responsibility?"

"Rest assured." Ye Chen laughed, "This kind of 'Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill' only promotes blood circulation and removes stagnation, and the materials aren't valuable; even if you eat it like a meal, it won't kill anyone, at most you'll have a nosebleed for two days. Blame the customer who bought the medicine for being foolish and having too much money."

Xiao Churan was still worried: "Then you say, what kind of person would be willing to spend five hundred thousand to buy these two pills?"

Ye Chen said casually, "Maybe someone in their family has a cerebral infarction or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease; these pills also have miraculous effects on these diseases."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Churan's hanging heart was put down quite a bit.

These diseases are all serious medical conditions; if they really went to the hospital for treatment, the money spent wouldn't be less than five hundred thousand.

Hopefully, the medicine will work and not let people spend so much money for nothing.

After eating, while Ye Chen was washing the dishes, he received a phone call from Master Hong Wu.

Although Master Hong Wu is known as the underground king of Jin Ling, he has been much more low-key and subdued since meeting Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen didn't look up to him, it had to be said that Master Hong Wu was relatively sensible; last time Wang Daokun was bullied in the hospital ward, he could be considered to have helped him solve a small problem.

So at that time, Ye Chen had promised to give him a chance to rise to prosperity; he didn't expect him to take the initiative to call him.

Answering the phone, Ye Chen asked him, "Hong Wu, do you have something for me?"

Master Hong Wu said hurriedly and happily, "Oh, Mr. Ye! I'm calling you this time because I heard about your commanding the Jin Ling Xuanxue community, so I'm here to congratulate you..."

Ye Chen said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense with me; if you have something to say, just say it, don't be wishy-washy!"

Master Hong Wu said hurriedly, "Oh, Mr. Ye, you really are as wise as a god; you saw through my little thoughts at once."

Ye Chen asked coldly, "Still talking nonsense?"

Master Hong Wu said hurriedly, "It's like this, Mr. Ye, the Song family has treated me well for many years, and their eldest young lady has recently run into some trouble, so I would like to ask you to go over and help take a look."

Ye Chen said, "The eldest young lady of the Song family? Song Wanting?"

"Yes!" Master Hong Wu said, "Miss Wanting has run into trouble!"
