Chapter 338: Surround and block

Gu Chen never expected that after leaving school for so many years, he would once again experience the feeling of being overwhelmed by people on the street.

Fortunately, that unlucky system had increased his physical fitness by one point, otherwise he really doubted whether he would have been crushed to death on the spot.

Fortunately, the efficacy of the perennial ganoderma lucidum was extremely high, and it had a very fast effect.

The little girl, who had been almost lifeless, was watched by everyone.

Her body temperature, which had been high, returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And in less than three minutes, she regained consciousness and woke up from her coma.

Even when the long-delayed ambulance finally arrived.

The little girl's face had become very rosy, and she was in excellent health.

After the emergency doctor carefully examined her from top to bottom, he finally cleared Gu Chen's name.

He himself also went from being a paranoid person who was being beaten up by everyone to a hero who had performed a miracle and saved someone's life.

However, after witnessing such miraculous results,

the previous onlookers' gazes on Gu Chen became even more fervent.

Many people even took hold of Gu Chen's hand.

They couldn't wait to buy some more of the 'immortal' ganoderma lucidum from him.

Whether or not this stuff was real, if they could get a bit of it, it would be like getting an extra life.

No one there was stupid, and everyone wanted this treasure.

The crowd, who had just been speaking with righteous indignation, now wished they could worship Gu Chen as a great immortal.

Even the red armband of the neighbourhood committee woman who had been buying the vegetables had disappeared, and she was pulling Gu Chen with a kind face.

She kept hinting that her cousin's niece from next door was exceptionally beautiful.

If he wasn't married, they could be introduced.

Gu Chen was at his wit's end, and kept telling everyone.

He was trying to save someone's life today, which is why he had made a decision against his ancestors.

He had given away the family heirloom, and really didn't have any left.

Seeing that Gu Chen was speaking so sincerely, although the crowd still felt a little resentful, they could do nothing about it.

After some hesitation, they finally let him off.

However, the influence of this incident spread like wildfire.

Many reporters rushed to the scene, all vying for an interview with Gu Chen.

Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a golden opportunity that he would smile about in his sleep.

After all, no one can have too much free advertising, but at this time, he simply couldn't smile.

The effect of the 'immortal lingzhi' was far beyond his expectations. As the saying goes, 'an innocent man with a jewel in his possession is guilty'.

If this was really exposed, he would never be able to live in peace again.

So Gu Chen almost without hesitation turned and fled.

Fortunately, not many people had cars these days, and even fewer dared to speed with such a precious object.

Even Gu Chen himself didn't expect that he would be able to escape the reporters by relying on his own Santana 2000.

He successfully escaped the reporters' pursuit.

However, on the way back, Gu Chen finally realized the true value of this thing.

This thing is truly a miracle drug. Although it cannot resurrect the dead or raise the living,

even a critically ill person can be cured and become full of energy with just a small piece.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration.

He suddenly thought of Xu Qingmu, who was far away in Chuan City, and the Xu family behind him. Isn't it the main pharmaceutical industry?

Gu Chen's eyes flashed, as if he were thinking about something...

Half a month later, in Chuan City.

In a building with seventeen floors, a man was holding a financial report in his hands.

The veins in his hands were constantly pulsing, and his face was extremely gloomy.

'How is this possible? How could this be?'

Xu Qingmu's face was full of disbelief. The financial statement in his hands was exactly the total sales of medicinal materials of the Xu Group in the past month.

It had suddenly and inexplicably plummeted by more than 80%.

Even many partners who had already paid deposits in advance were now

refusing to buy the Xu family's latest batch of medicinal materials, even at the risk of breaking the contract.

'What on earth is going on?'

Xu Qingmu was extremely anxious. The Xu family had always had a very high market share in the medical field in Chuancheng,

and a position that was almost monopolistic.

This is the business that the Xu family is most confident in and also the one that they are most adept at.

Xu Qingmu never imagined that he would one day fail miserably at this.

'Chairman,'

a secretary came over timidly and respectfully called out.

Then he glanced secretly at Xu Qingmu's ashen face, and for a moment even his speech stuttered.

'We, we have found a clue. It seems that the people from the Ji family in Chuancity are behind this.'

'The Ji family? Ji Guangsheng!'

Xu Qingmu's face revealed an unparalleled look of anger.

A month ago, he had made a remark here, saying that he would slowly play the Ji family to death.

Even Ji Guangsheng himself had been so enraged that he had been hospitalised as a result. But he never expected that it had only been a month.

The opponent's counterattack had come so fiercely and fiercely that it had caught him off guard.

'Chairman, what should we do now? If the situation continues like this,

I'm afraid that our profits will be completely negative this year, and the phone is still ringing non-stop.

Many of our original partners have already said that they have found better alternatives.

They will not be buying our Xu family's medicinal herbs again in the near future.'

A general manager of the Xu family group walked over at this moment, anxiously reporting to him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmu's face became even more unpleasant.

'Immediately notify everyone, gather all the shareholders of the company, and I want to call an emergency board meeting.'

Xu Qingmu's voice was cold.

'Yes!'

The assistant bowed and hurriedly left.

A spacious conference room in the Xu Group was now filled with the company's shareholders.

'This problem is too serious!'

An elderly man sitting to Xu Qingmu's left frowned and said with a grave face.

'Hmph, it's all because Xu Qingmu was so stubborn and went to provoke the Ji family.'

'Yes, I also think what the chairman did this time was really disappointing.'

'I'm afraid it's not just the Ji family. That person Ji Guangsheng can't possibly have that kind of power.

He was able to connect so many of our competitors at once, and so many top-grade medicinal herbs appeared on the market at once.

Such big news, and we didn't even know about it until after it happened. I think that's the biggest dereliction of duty on the part of the chairman.'

The shareholders present all chimed in with their comments, their faces full of worry.

Looking at everyone chattering away, condemning themselves,

Xu Qingmu's face also flashed with annoyance, and he couldn't help but slam his hand down on the table and bellowed.

'Shut up!'
