Chapter 865: Yanhuang Company

"But they look completely like two different people," Chen Yu said, somewhat puzzled. "Their appearance, height, and voice are all those of two different people, yet their expressions and movements are uncannily similar."

"Chen Yu, do you think there is any technology in this world that can change a person's appearance and height?" Ning Ruoxue asked seriously.

"I'm not sure. Medical aesthetics alone definitely wouldn't work, but I do know that through cultivation, one can change their appearance, though only if one has reached the level of a great master who has mastered the art of preserving youth."

"It is impossible for Li Qingwan to have reached that level. As for Western technology, I don't know much about it, but if the company she is in is truly a very powerful genetic technology company, then changing her appearance is not impossible," Chen Yu said.

"Whether it is or isn't, we will know once we see her tonight," Ning Ruoxue smiled slightly.

At night, at an extremely private location in the suburbs.

This place used to be an underground boxing ring, but it had been abandoned after being raided by the police several times, and no one had taken it over in the last two years.

But today, this underground boxing ring was exceptionally lively.

Li Yijia, dressed in full finery, appeared before everyone's eyes right on schedule.

Although there were fewer than a hundred people who came here today, these people were absolutely elite-level figures in Shengjing.

Those who could carve out a path in a place like Shengjing where talent gathered, and become the people at the very tip of the pyramid, were superior to others in both knowledge and insight.

But they all had one thing in common: they were afraid of death.

They had stood out from over a billion people and possessed extraordinary net worth and wealth. Some of them had reached this stage only after passing the age of fifty; life had just begun to be enjoyed, yet they were about to enter old age.

So they tried every possible way to maintain their health in order to enjoy the wealth and glory that had just begun.

But even while maintaining their health, their bodies were still aging day by day. Now that Yanhuang had suddenly appeared, almost satisfying all their fantasies about the future, how could they not be willing to take their money out of their pockets?

The place was now playing soothing music, and Li Yijia, like a socialite, moved among the crowd, clinking glasses and chatting happily with various big shots.

Just then, a man in a white suit appeared below, looking at Li Yijia with a gloomy expression.

This person was Liu Wenyuan. He had used a disguise; although he was still in a white suit, his face was covered in a fake beard, and without looking closely, one could not tell who he was at all.

Seeing Liu Wenyuan's gloomy gaze, Li Yijia apologized to the people around her, walked to Liu Wenyuan's side, and whispered, "What are you doing? It was hard enough to invite these people today; can't you show a smile?"

"Where is Chen Yu?" A trace of anger flashed in Liu Wenyuan's eyes.

The person he loved most had been forcibly taken away by Chen Yu, and it was precisely because of Chen Yu that he had been living a life of hiding and having no fixed residence since returning from overseas. He was very angry when he learned that Chen Yu was coming.

"Is Chen Yu someone you can touch? Even if he comes, what can you do?" A mocking smile appeared on Li Yijia's face. "You are no match for him at all; you'd better be realistic."

"I think inviting Chen Yu is an unwise move; he might expose you on the spot," Liu Wenyuan said angrily.

"Giggle, I have had intersections with him in both past and present lives; I know him better than anyone. Don't worry, I have it under control," Li Yijia said with a chuckle.

"I still think there's a problem," Liu Wenyuan said in a low voice. "The Black-robed Underworld Envoy has already died at his hands, and the White-robed Underworld Envoy hasn't arrived yet, so I think it's better to be cautious."

"With the Black-robed Underworld Envoy absent, what I say goes here, understand?" The smile on Li Yijia's face vanished, and she said coldly, "You just need to obey."

"You..." A trace of anger appeared on Liu Wenyuan's face. He looked down on Li Yijia, but this woman was now riding on his head, which made him very angry.

"Look, he's here." Li Yijia revealed a charming smile as she watched a familiar figure walk over in the venue.

But immediately, the smile on her face gradually froze, because besides Chen Yu, she also saw another person—this person was her close friend, Ning Ruoxue.

Chen Yu and Ning Ruoxue were now arm-in-arm, and their relationship looked very intimate, which made the expression on Li Yijia's face turn ugly in an instant.

However, remembering the purpose of today, she couldn't help but smile slightly and walk up to them: "Mr. Chen, welcome. Is this beautiful lady your wife?"

"This is my friend," Chen Yu smiled.

"No, I am his woman," Ning Ruoxue smiled slightly, her eyes fixed tightly on Li Yijia: "Miss Li, have we met somewhere before?"

"No, this is our first meeting, but I also find you quite agreeable," Li Yijia giggled. "We really have a connection now."

"Yes, we really have a connection," Ning Ruoxue stared at Li Yijia, not missing a single expression on her face.

"Excuse us for a moment, our product launch is about to begin. I believe you will definitely find use for this product." Li Yijia checked the time, bowed slightly to the two, and then turned and left.

"How do you feel?" Chen Yu looked at Ning Ruoxue. "You saw her; what do you feel?"

"It feels... like I've seen her before," Ning Ruoxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "But she is truly another person. It's just that I find her very familiar; she really looks too much like Li Qingwan, yet they are clearly two different people."

"Let's keep watching," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "If it is her, she will show her true colors sooner or later."

"Everyone, welcome to our Yanhuang launch event. Thank you very much for your support of Yanhuang. Now, our company will release our new product, Yanhuang No. 2."

Li Yijia stood in the center of the stage, holding a microphone in one hand and a small vial of reagent in the other.

"As everyone knows, Yanhuang is committed to the development of biological genetics. Now, through the unremitting efforts of our expert team, we have finally developed Yanhuang No. 2. This product can make people's hair turn black and reduce wrinkles in the shortest possible time; it is a product that can truly turn back the clock..."

Li Yijia's public speaking skills were good, and her words quickly attracted the attention of many people at the scene. Everyone gathered around one after another, discussing this product.

"Then may I ask, Miss Li, what is the difference between this product and ordinary health supplements?" one man asked. "We usually pay attention to health maintenance, and although we hope to delay our aging, forgive me for being blunt, we still don't quite believe in the 'turning back the clock' you speak of."
