ow much money did that Li Jingkang pay you to buy you out" Chen Ping'an asked Xiaoran with a curious face."What do you mean"When Fang Xiaoran heard Chen Ping's words, her face darkened immediately. He...Mr. Liu, the head of the household, arrived at the workshop accompanied by his secretary. He saw several top executives from different departments inspecting the workshop under the guidance of the deputy factory manager.

Seeing these people, Master Liu was even more certain that the Lu family had made a move against their Liu family's pharmacy.

Because these inspections are usually carried out by ordinary leaders of these departments, now that the top leaders of several departments have arrived, coupled with the feud between Chen Ping'an, the Southwest King, and the Lu family, anyone with a brain can figure out that these people came today for an inspection at the behest of the Lu family.

Unless something unexpected happens, these people will definitely pick a fight soon.

Luckily, the Southwest King's clever mind had made preparations beforehand. Otherwise, he would have truly been at a loss today.

Thinking of this, the head of the Liu family quickly walked over.

"Welcome to Liu's Pharmacy, leaders. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. Would you like to join me in the office for a cup of tea I would be happy to give you a detailed report on our work."

Before the leaders arrived, the head of the Liu family put on a smile and greeted them loudly.

“Mr. Liu, we’ll pass on the tea. After touring your factory, we found several issues. For example, the fire escape has stairs. What happens if workers trip and fall during a fire and can’t escape Also, the hygiene standards of your pharmaceutical factory are not up to par, and there’s this... We officially notify you to immediately halt production for rectification. Production will only resume after we approve it.”

Those leaders didn't give Liu Family Head any face at all, and wouldn't listen to his explanations. They nitpicked and found several trivial issues before ordering him to make corrections.

Their mission today is to prevent Liu's pharmaceutical factory from operating.

Liu, the head of the household, frowned at these words.

"Fellow leaders, I think you're deliberately making things difficult, aren't you" Just as Patriarch Liu was about to explain himself to the leaders, Chen Ping'an's voice rang out from behind him.

Everyone turned to see Chen Ping'an leaning against a pillar in the pharmaceutical factory workshop, his arms crossed as he looked at them with a half-smile.

Originally, Chen Ping'an was afraid that Liu Zhujia wouldn't be able to handle these people, so he followed behind.

"Who are you, and what are we doing When will it be your turn to speak"

One of the leaders pointed at Chen Ping'an angrily and asked.

"My name is Chen Pingan. Liu's pharmaceutical factory took my order and plans to start production in the next two days. You guys just find any excuse to get them to halt production for renovations. Do you think I have a say in this"

Chen Ping'an introduced himself and stated his identity.

"Hmph, so you're Chen Ping'an!"

"To be honest with you, we did this on purpose. What are you going to do You even dare to offend the Lu family You're really overreaching!"

A rather haughty leader, upon hearing Chen Ping'an introduce himself, stepped forward and looked down at him with disdain, saying arrogantly.

When the other leaders heard this, their faces changed drastically and they quickly grabbed him.

What are you afraid of In this little patch of land in Jiangzhou, the Lu family rules. We have the Lu family backing us up. So what if he knows

That arrogant leader, seeing his comrades pull him along, said with a dismissive look on his face.

He was the one personally promoted by the Lu family. He knew best about the Lu family's influence in Jiangzhou.

"Even so, if these words were to reach the ears of the new provincial governor, even with the Lu family's backing, I fear we would have little chance of a good outcome!"

Someone reminded the leader.

"A newly arrived outsider monk like him doesn't amount to anything. If he wants to gain a foothold in Jiangzhou, he has to obediently follow the Lu family's orders. Even if the governor himself was here, I would dare to say these things to his face!"

That arrogant leader turned back to a few companions and boasted without any restraint.

But none of his companions would continue to pay attention to him, instead they looked at his back with frightened faces.

That arrogant leader was bewildered by his comrades' actions. Turning around with a curious expression, he wanted to see what they were up to.

When the result turned around, when he saw the person standing behind him, he too was filled with alarm.

Because he discovered that the provincial governor, whom he had just spoken about, was now standing behind him, his face as cold as ice.spicion that Chen Ping'an might be a legendary expert.The three of them knew Zhang Xiaobo like the back of their hand. They knew that before, he was just an ordinary person like them, but now he had s...
