Chapter 74: Making an Appearance!

  It's time to celebrate the Chinese New Year! Hehe, Tingyu still hasn't returned home for the holiday. During the Spring Festival, I will continue to update without a break, focusing on writing.

  "You two go in! Search around and bring out Xiao Hong." Zheng Yang furrowed his brow, irritably instructing the two subordinates. This was also what Pei Yan had requested earlier, taking advantage of the search to find the formula for Xiao Hong's magic tattoo and skin care cream, then using the name of analysis and evidence collection to take it back to Pei Yan and have him make a copy, which would be killing two birds with one stone.

  "Yes."

  He responded with a "yes" and was about to rush into the backyard, but was stopped by Li Le. Although he didn't know the sinister intentions of these sanctimonious guys in front of him, the backyard stored a large amount of materials and other things, letting people search around was no different from stripping naked for others to see.

  "Wait a minute! You're not from the security department, you don't have the right to search!" Li Le said.

  "Sorry, I've already said it earlier. I have terminated the rental agreement with you, and this house now belongs to the Xichuan family again. Therefore, I have the right to let them conduct a search." Added Pei Ping on the side.

  To outsiders, although they didn't explicitly say it, it seems like the two of them came today to put an end to Da Hongmei's life.

  Of course, even so, facing these people, they just dare to be angry but not dare to speak.

  "What else do you have to say?" Zheng Yang said to Li Le, then shifted his gaze to Fu Yan standing not far away and said warmly: "Master Fu's arrival is just in time. I hope you can assist our search and find the central formula of Dahongmei."

  "No problem." Fu Yan responded with a seemingly respectful tone, but if one looked closely, they could clearly see that his expression was filled with a self-satisfied smile. He didn't believe that the great Zhongyuan wouldn't die today.

  At the same time, on the street, Xiao Hong's tattooed car slowly drove over. From a distance, Xiao Hong could see that the area around Dahongmei was surrounded by people. At first, Xiao Hong didn't pay attention to it, but now that there were so many people surrounding Dahong Pharmacy, it seemed quite normal.

  However, as the car approached, Xiao Hong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, sensing that something was off. In the past, customers had lined up in an orderly fashion, but now they were all crowded at the entrance, looking inside as if something had happened.

  With this discovery, Xiao Hong himself also became vigilant: "Mrs. Lei, wait for me for a moment, something seems to have happened at my pharmacy."

  Having spoken, Xiao Hong stepped down from the magic chariot and walked quickly towards the center of Da Hong Mei, passing by.

  In the grand hall at the center of Dahongmei, Fu Yan had already taken a step forward and stood in front of Li Le, his tone cold as he said: "Li Le, I advise you to step aside, interfering with official business is no small crime."

  "Affect official business? I think this is clearly your doing, intentionally coming to bully us, without a shred of evidence, and yet you come to search, and on top of that, you want to seize our house, it's blatant abuse of power for personal gain!" Li Le said. Xiao Hong was not there, but in his heart, he felt both wronged and worried. Da Hong had been able to get to where he was today, no one knew better than Li Le how much hardship they had endured, and if it were all destroyed, the fruits of their labor would be lost. But for now, it seemed like there was no good solution either.

  "Li Le, you'd better watch what you say, or I'll sue you for slander! Now get out of my way!" Fu Yan's face turned gloomy as he spoke, and then he stretched out his hand to push him away.

  Li Le is now only a third-level driver, while Fu Yan has already reached the first level of driver. The difference in their levels is not just a little bit.

  Although no magic was used, just like that, Li Le was directly knocked two meters away, until he heavily crashed into the wooden counter before stopping.

  "Cough, cough!" Li Le, who had fallen to the ground, couldn't help but let out two loud coughs, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

  There's no doubt that Fu Yan is doing this, and has already started to have no difference with Ming Qiang. The reason is that he doesn't want to get entangled with Li Le for too long, after all, this isn't something that can be seen in the light of day. The longer it drags on, the worse the impact will be. It's better to just take away Xiao Hong's formula, revoke their business license, and then leave directly, which is the best approach.

  He just glanced at Li Le, who was lying on the ground, and Pei Yan was about to take two people from the management department into the backyard. However, at this moment, Pei Yan's expression suddenly changed, his leg, which had just stepped inside the door, suddenly retreated, and then he dodged, only to see a thorny vine shooting towards him.

  However, as a driver-level cultivator, Fu Yan didn't have that kind of luck. He easily spotted the thorny vine's weak point and grabbed it directly with his hand. Following the momentum of the thorny vine, Fu Yan clearly saw Xiao Hong standing at the door with a serious expression.

  "Xiao Hong, you're just in time. After investigation, you are suspected of being responsible for two medical accidents." Fu Yan looked at Xiao Hong and retorted directly.

  "No matter what it is, first take out the evidence. And you trespassed into my territory to cause trouble, what crime should you be guilty of?" Xiao Hong's expression was serious as he questioned, although for the time being he still didn't know the specific details of the situation. However, facing Fu Yan's disturbance, this had long been within Xiao Hong's expectations.

  "It's not your territory anymore." Fu Yan glanced at Pei Ping and said to Xiao Hong, then quickly took out the Water Whispering War Seal from the seal package, drove it, and a water-blue magic seal appeared on his forearm. He stretched out two fingers, pointing at Xiao Hong, and two thick fingers, like intertwined hemp ropes, formed a pillar of energy that rushed towards Xiao Hong's chest.

  Not a shred of mercy was shown, as if they wanted to directly send Xiao Hong to his death or severely injure him, to vent their pent-up anger!

  With a move like that, Xiao Hong naturally saw it coming, his eyebrows furrowed at the same time, and he decisively abandoned the thorny vine in his hand. Since the previous Tiger Tooth War Pattern had been scrapped, Xiao Hong could only shoot out three more thorny vines to intercept!

  Boom!

  Accompanied by this dull sound, the entire room formed a dazzling light group.

  Xiao Hong, standing at the door, under the tremendous impact, only felt that the hand holding the thorny vine transmitted a violent shock. Unable to withstand it, Xiao Hong had no choice but to let go of his hand and retreated several steps back, leaning against the door frame.

  It's okay, just now my own losing face was concealed from view under the dazzling light.

  At this moment, Xiao Hong also truly saw the power of a Rider-level cultivator. Although Xiao Hong had already reached the 8th level of Rider Disciple, compared to a true Rider, there was still a huge gap. The qualitative change brought about by the Rider's power within his body wasn't something that could be described in words.

  In terms of pure strength, Xiao Hong had to admit that he was no match for Fu Yan, at least not now, and this was under the premise that Fu Yan was not a master of war tattoos, using only the tenth-level war tattoo of Yu Tu.

  If it's a mainstay of the war pattern, and the usage is also at the level of the war pattern, then this time, Xiao Hong will not be able to withstand it, and he will definitely suffer quite serious injuries. Don't forget, the thorny war pattern is only at the third level of the cavalry, even if Xiao Hong has reached the eighth level of the cavalry, the war pattern has some enhancement, but it cannot change its nature.

  The dazzling light dissipated, and Xiao Hong was seen leaning against the door with his right hand behind his back. Everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment, especially Pei Ping and Zheng Yang, who hadn't expected that Xiao Hong could actually take down Fu Yan's move.

  However, at this time, Xiao Hong, although he appeared calm and peaceful, his right hand had already felt a tingling sensation due to the intense vibration earlier, with a faint stinging pain like being pricked by needles. Moving it slightly didn't cause any major issues, but if another shock came, he couldn't be sure what would happen.

  "Hmph! I didn't think you, a mediocre doctor, still had some tricks up your sleeve. But next time, you won't be so lucky!" Fu Yan narrowed his eyes and raised his hand again, but he was still very measured in his movements, as long as he didn't kill Xiao Hong, dealing with this former miner would be easy and pleasant.

  "What do you want to do?"

  But just as Pei Yan narrowed his eyes, ready to put Xiao Hong to death, Mrs. Lei suddenly squeezed through the crowd and entered the room, her face cold and her voice low, saying to Pei Yan.

  Although he didn't see it himself, Pei Yan came here to cause trouble and even tried to attack her benefactor, she really saw it clearly.

  Lei's wife, who had originally been grateful to Xiao Hong and tried to repay him, couldn't tolerate such behavior from her own vassal.

  At first, Pei Yan was still showing off his power and prestige, but when he heard the sound, his expression changed involuntarily. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that Mrs. Lei was standing at the door, holding one hand with Lei Xiaotian. Her face seemed calm, but upon closer inspection, it was like a volcano about to erupt.

  With this discovery, Fu Yan's face suddenly turned pale. He had been doing such things behind the Ze Lei family's back and thought that no one would find out. Even if a servant of the Ze Lei family accidentally discovered his secret, he could silence them. But now, Mrs. Lei was standing right in front of him, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he couldn't conceal the truth any longer.

  After all, Mrs. Lei is in the Lei family and can be considered a second person under Lui Rongxuan, and sometimes Lui Rongxuan also has to give in to her.

  With such analysis, Pei Yan only felt a chill behind his back, and his scalp began to tingle. He couldn't have imagined in his dreams that at this time, in this place, the figure of Mrs. Lei would appear!

  He couldn't help it, Pei Yan's pupils rotated rapidly in his eye sockets, trying to find a way out. If Mrs. Lei found out that he was using the Ze Lei family's name to collude with Pei Ping and Zheng Yang to do something despicable, he would probably be finished. More importantly, Pei Ping and Zheng Yang were completely unaware of this, it was all his own doing, and the people of the Ze Lei family had no idea about this matter.
