“Don’t even think about it. If he disappears, we’ll never clear our names, not even if we jumped into the Yellow River.”
Xu Mu pulled the car over to the side of the road and walked over together with Meng Wanyue.
“Hey, everyone, come check this out! Xu Corporation is selling fake medicine…”
“Hey, buddy!”
Xu Mu approached the young man and cut him off.
The guy looked barely over twenty, with a middle-parted hairstyle.
Though dressed in casual clothes that wrapped him up tightly, a tattoo was still visible on his neck.
Using his Divine Eye, Xu Mu quickly scanned him.
Name: Ma Feng
Occupation: Unemployed
Favorability: 0
Destiny Level: 1 (Max 10)
“Who are you?” Ma Feng asked coldly.
“I’m an employee of this company,” Xu Mu replied, pointing to the towering corporate building behind him.
“If you’re an employee, then get your boss out here right now! My dad bought your weight loss pills and died after taking them!” Ma Feng shouted at Xu Mu. “You owe me an explanation!”
“How do you know your dad died because of our pills?” Xu Mu asked curiously. “Our products have passed national inspections and don’t cause any harm.”
“My dad was fine before. He took your pills, and he died that very day!” Ma Feng yelled, pointing at Xu Mu. “How can you guarantee there were no problems during production?”
Xu Mu remained calm. “Where’s your father’s body now? I’ll have a forensic expert check it out. I guarantee it’s not our fault.”
“You’re so rich, you probably bribed the forensic expert,” Ma Feng sneered. “My dad’s already buried!”
“Well, then you have no proof,” Xu Mu said. “You’re just slandering us without a shred of evidence.”
Inside, Xu Mu was already thinking of a way to handle this.
This guy was obviously hired to throw dirt at them.
Their weight loss pills were selling like hotcakes, and unscrupulous media outlets were bound to blow this up.
They wanted everyone to believe there was something wrong with Xu Corporation.
But even if Xu Corporation later produced evidence to clear their name, those media wouldn’t report it.
The only thing Xu Mu could do now was to bring out the evidence before the heat died down and shut this down.
Right then, the police arrived. Clearly, the legal department of Xu Corporation had started taking action.
“Let me go! They’re selling fake medicine and harming people. Why are you arresting me?” Ma Feng struggled fiercely.
“If you think they have a problem, you can sue them. But causing a public disturbance isn’t allowed,” one older officer said, grabbing Ma Feng’s arm.
With the police stepping in, the crowd dispersed, but the video had already been shared online.
Not long after the video went live, someone paid to get it trending.
On Douyin, comments flooded in by the thousands within just an hour.
“Wasn’t someone just praising Xu Corporation? None of these entrepreneurs are good people!”
“Damn! I just bought a box and have been taking it for days. Am I going to die too?”
“Look at that company employee wearing a Rolex worth tens of thousands. Our money is being robbed by people like him!”
…
Although some comments defended the Xu Group, claiming their weight-loss pills truly worked, these voices were quickly drowned out by countless other replies.
Some even responded bluntly, "A few cents a pack? I want to make money too."
In the end, those defenders were too scared to comment anymore.
Xu Shou had already arrived home. As the chairman, he naturally wouldn’t get involved personally.
Xu Ningbing was scrolling through her phone, especially angered by the barrage of insults aimed at Xu Mu. She clenched her fists tightly.
“We’re clearly being targeted! Could it be the Chai family?” Xu Ningbing snapped coldly.
“Don’t rush to conclusions. The truth will come to light eventually,” Xu Shou said with a faint smile. “That kid must be pretty upset right now. Why don’t you go comfort him?”
Xu Ningbing initially wanted to refuse but finally nodded softly.
Anyone in their position would be furious.
Besides, Xu Mu hadn’t said anything wrong in the video.
…
Fang Chu sat in his Ferrari, watching the comments on the video with a satisfied smile.
Currently, the Xu family’s cash flow was mainly tied up in the weight-loss pills.
He planned to cut off their financial lifeline first.
As for the Xu family’s other businesses, none were high-tech or irreplaceable. He intended to let the Chai family gradually nibble away at those.
By the time the Xu family collapsed, Li Yun would lose her job.
If he showed her a little favor, she’d come running without hesitation.
Not only that, Fang Chu also held damaging information on Xu Mu, which he planned to show to several women.
Fang Chu put down his phone and parked in front of Lu Xueyao’s house.
He carried two boxes of bird’s nest and knocked on the door.
“Xiao Fang? Haven’t seen you in a while,” Lu Xueyao’s grandmother, Wang Xiuzhen, opened the door and smiled faintly upon seeing him.
“Grandma, I’ve been busy with work lately. Where’s Xueyao?” Fang Chu smiled as he carried the bird’s nest inside.
He wasn’t sure why, but there was something about Lu Xueyao that attracted him.
He wanted to bring this woman into his inner circle.
“That girl’s been coming home after nine every night recently,” Wang Xiuzhen chuckled and shook her head.
There was something she didn’t say: Lu Xueyao’s smile had become much more frequent than before.
Wang Xiuzhen had long come to terms with it — as long as Xueyao was happy, that was enough.
“She’s not home? Then never mind, I’ve got things to do. I’ll be off,” Fang Chu said, turning to leave. He wondered who Lu Xueyao had been hanging out with lately.
Did they really think he needed some college girl?
…
At this moment, Lu Xueyao was at a billiards hall.
She stared at the video on her phone, her expression darkening.
Nearly a hundred people surrounded her.
Since becoming a martial artist, she had taken over Brother Hu’s territory two days ago.
After driving Brother Hu’s men away, she hadn’t charged the nearby shops any management fees like he did.
According to Lu Xueyao, that kind of approach wouldn’t last. They needed steady, long-term growth.
Her subordinates admired her deeply.
Not only was she cultured, but she was also fierce in a fight.
Though she looked slender, she could easily take on seven opponents at once.
“Lu Jie, I’ve already forwarded the video to the group,” Zhao Yan said beside her, his eyes full of respect.
Lu Xueyao used to be kind to that girl because of Xu Mu.
But now, it was because Lu Xueyao was just too fierce.
“The person in the video holding the megaphone—I’m ordering you all to find him within two days!”
Lu Xueyao said to the hundred or so people below.
Seeing the comments on the video, Lu Xueyao was furious. It was all because of that brat, causing Xu Mu to get scolded.
She had absolute faith in Xu Mu; the weight loss pills were definitely not a problem.
It had to be someone trying to scam money—she couldn’t let it slide!
“Yes! Sister Lu!”
The crowd below responded in unison, then turned around and headed outside.
...
Xu Ningbing had already driven up to Xu Mu’s front door, but this time she was driving slowly.
On the way, she kept thinking about how to comfort Xu Mu.
Her personality wasn’t really suited for comforting others.
After pressing the doorbell, Xu Mu came out of the villa.
He had a big smile on his face. “Sis, you’re here? Come in quickly, just in time for dinner.”
Xu Ningbing was completely baffled. What was going on with Xu Mu? Had he gone crazy from anger?
He pulled her inside the villa, and she saw the table filled with delicious dishes.
Besides Ye Tong and Ye Yu, Meng Wanyue was also there.
“Xiao Mu, are you okay?”
Xu Ningbing reached out to feel Xu Mu’s forehead. After being scolded so badly online, he still had the energy to eat?
If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
“I’m fine. It’s just a really bad headache from the punishment,” Xu Mu muttered.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
