Chapter 390: An Unexpected Joy

"Yes, our medicine is currently sold out, and we can't collect enough Chinese herbal raw materials from Yaoshan. I have to go there to urge them for the raw materials. Besides, we should strike while the iron is hot and launch your few new medicinal formulas onto the market immediately," Song Mengyan said with a smile.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your hard work," Chen Yu smiled and hung up the phone.

Just as he was about to get out of bed, the door opened, and Ning Ruoxue walked straight in.

"Why don't you knock on the door?" Chen Yu was left speechless. Ning Ruoxue knew all the passwords to his digital lock, and she had always come and gone as she pleased when visiting.

"Do I need to knock to go to your house? You aren't doing anything shameful, are you?" Ning Ruoxue looked at Chen Yu with a strange expression, then tossed down several documents and said, "Tianyun has become popular, and there are jealous people looking to cause trouble, claiming that several of Tianyun's medicines are suspected of infringement."

"Infringement of what?" Chen Yu picked up the documents and took a look, feeling completely bewildered.

"Formulas, trademarks, all sorts of bizarre reasons. These people just want to ride the wave of popularity," Ning Ruoxue said. "The main one is still Zhao Pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical company under the Zhao Group; they have issued three lawyer's letters in a row."

"That kid Zhao Zhong's? That piece of trash copies whatever is popular. If he can't copy it, he tries to acquire it, and if he can't acquire it, he tries every possible way to mess with you. He has no bottom line as a person," Chen Yu said bitterly. "He needs to be taught a lesson."

"It's best to solve it once and for all," Ning Ruoxue said. "Find their dirt, write some articles, and it would be best to ruin them so they can never recover for the rest of their lives."

"That has to be done slowly," Chen Yu looked at Ning Ruoxue and said, "Have they been looking for you again?"

"Lv Fang?" Ning Ruoxue shook her head and said, "She called a few times, but as soon as I heard it was her, I blocked her directly. I don't want to have any relationship with her in the future."

"Be careful lately. I don't think a single person in that family is a good person," Chen Yu said.

"Okay, I will be careful," Ning Ruoxue smiled slightly.

After leaving Chen Yu's house, Ning Ruoxue got into her own car, but she suddenly realized that the person driving was not her personal driver.

She was startled and grabbed the stun gun in her hand, intending to act, but a cloud of white mist sprayed from the air conditioning vent in the back row. Her vision went black, and she collapsed onto the back seat.

The driver in the front took off his sunglasses, sneered, and started the car.

In the suburbs, at a farmhouse in an orchard, Ning Ruoxue was splashed awake with cold water.

She opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was Lv Fang, who was standing to one side with a look of concern: "Xuexue, are you alright now? Do you feel dizzy?"

"Stop disgusting me. Why did you capture me? Is it to take my heart?" Ning Ruoxue suddenly became clear-headed, looking at Lv Fang with disgust.

"I am your mother, why do you hate me so much?" Lv Fang pretended to wipe tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Say what you have to say, spit it out, don't try to play on my emotions. If you disgust me again, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, so you won't get anything," Ning Ruoxue said coldly.

"We are mother and daughter, do you have to act like enemies?" Lv Fang was angry.

"We are mother and daughter? Aren't we enemies? You were going to dig out my heart to save your son, and now you're playing the emotional card with me?" Ning Ruoxue smiled: "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."

"Shut up, I am your mother," Lv Fang was furious and slapped Ning Ruoxue across the face.

A bright red five-finger print appeared on Ning Ruoxue's cheek, and blood spilled from her lips. She stared coldly at Lv Fang: "That's right, this is how we should meet. You are the one tying me up now; if I were the one tying you up, I would treat you the same way."

"We are enemies by nature, don't act like we're family. If you want to kill me, don't hold back, otherwise, once I recover, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death," Ning Ruoxue said coldly.

"Fine, the little bitch has grown up and is ruthless enough," Lv Fang looked sinister: "I'm not digging out your heart now. I captured you to force Chen Yu to submit. As long as he cures your younger brother, I will release you immediately."

"Don't even think about it," Ning Ruoxue sneered: "For the sake of you giving birth to me, I'll warn you: don't provoke Chen Yu, and don't use me to threaten Chen Yu, otherwise you will die a miserable death."

"I know he cares about you quite a bit. I don't care what your relationship is, and I don't care how much backing he has. If he doesn't save my son, I will make sure he never sees you again," Lv Fang said bitterly.

"Then you can try," Ning Ruoxue said indifferently.

"Ruoxue," Lv Fang sighed again: "There's no need for us to end up like this. What grudge between mother and daughter can't be resolved? You persuade Chen Yu to save your brother, wouldn't it be a happy ending for everyone?"

"Keep acting to your heart's content," Ning Ruoxue smiled.

"As long as you nod, I can give you one hundred million," Lv Fang gritted her teeth.

"Then do I have to thank you? Thank you for your charity?" Ning Ruoxue sneered: "Is one hundred million a lot? Who are you looking down on, Lv Fang?"

"Or my company, I can give you half the shares," Lv Fang gritted her teeth: "I can't give any more. I've managed it painstakingly for these years to reach its current scale; it has expanded several times over since I took it over from your father."

Ning Ruoxue closed her eyes and ignored her.

"Are you listening to me?" Lv Fang's eyes widened, and her gaze was terrifying: "Don't force me."

"Lv Fang, stop playing the emotional card with me. I've lived a miserable life for over a decade, and I would often think of you. Although you seized my father's family property when he was critically ill, you are, after all, the one who gave birth to me, so I could choose not to hate you."

"But to save your son, you set a trap for me, and even wanted to dig out my heart to save him. You have severed all my thoughts of you. I'll say this today: either you kill me today, or once I get out, it will be a fight to the death between us," Ning Ruoxue raised her head and met her gaze.

"Fine, worthy of being my daughter, you've inherited my ruthlessness and decisiveness," Lv Fang smiled: "But you forced me to do this, don't you dare blame me..."

She stood up abruptly, picked up her phone, and dialed her husband's number. She was going to use Ning Ruoxue to force Chen Yu to submit.

But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. She was startled and dialed again.

This time the phone was answered after only one ring, and Chen Yu's cold voice came through: "Release Ruoxue, otherwise your son and your husband will die."

"Chen Yu?" Lv Fang screamed: "What do you want to do?"

"Why wasn't anyone arranged to be by her side?" Chen Yu was furious after receiving the news of Ning Ruoxue's disappearance.

"I'm sorry, Boss. I had arranged it, but Miss Ning could sense it every time. She said she didn't like people following her, so I withdrew them," Datian lowered his head: "I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Is punishing you useful? Immediately find out where Li Zhengye's family is, find them, and control them," Chen Yu shouted: "This matter was definitely done by them."

"I have already found Li Zhengye and his son, and they have been brought to the building below the Jiying headquarters," Datian said.

"Take me to see them," Chen Yu's face was full of murderous intent.

Jiying Security Company.

Jiying has about fifty core members and hundreds of peripheral personnel. The company's main business is undertaking security work, and it also takes on some private bodyguard work.

But the core members are all battle-hardened personnel with very strong capabilities, specifically trained by the War Souls, and Chen Yu also provides guidance occasionally.

The third level of the Jiying basement is a hidden space. In a secret room, Chen Yu saw Li Zhengye and his son.

Li Zhengye turned pale with fright when he saw Chen Yu, while Li Hao was still trembling while clutching an oxygen tank.

"Chen Yu, what do you want to do? This is illegal detention, I'm going to call the police," Li Zhengye shrieked as soon as he saw Chen Yu, using his voice to mask the fear in his heart.

"Give him the phone, turn on the signal, and let him call the police," Chen Yu said indifferently.

Datian handed the phone to Li Zhengye without a word, then turned on the signal in the room.

Li Zhengye dialed the police number with trembling hands, but because he was too nervous, he dialed the wrong number several times in a row.

Finally, after managing to dial the number, just as he was about to press the button, he suddenly felt a wave of murderous intent rushing toward him.

Chen Yu's murderous intent was unleashed without reservation. Now that Chen Yu was in the Martial Ancestor Realm, even a single glance from him could directly destroy Li Zhengye.

His gaze surged toward Li Zhengye like blades, and Li Zhengye was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Zhengye knew clearly that if he dialed the number, Chen Yu could make him die more than ten times over; he feared death, and in the end, the number in his hand was not dialed.
