Ni Yongruo's face showed a trace of murderous intent. She quietly looked at Nine-Headed Mountain, which almost took her life, her eyes cold: "I refuse to believe it. Just a mere Nine-Headed Mountain, can it really ruin my grand plan? Two days later, once everyone here has relocated, arrange for the workers to enter on time!"
"Yes!"
Pei Dong nodded.
It was indeed quite dangerous just now in the mountains. He had roamed the Jianghu for so many years, had seen many storms and waves, but just now, it was the closest he had come to death!
But after all, it was just in the mountains. Could those things really dare to cause trouble in a residential area?
What they didn't know was that the Feng Shui Array of Nine-Headed Mountain was far more formidable than they imagined!
...
When Li Chuan was walking down the old street, he thought about visiting the Ma Family Martial Arts Hall to see his senior sister.
It had been a long time since he practiced Dual Cultivation with his senior sister, and he missed it.
After all, his senior sister was the only one in the Jianghu, and the way her slender waist moved was unmatched by Song Zihan or Yang Xin'Er.
Perhaps, it was a matter of Lingxi, as soon as Li Chuan thought of Ma Yuanzhi's graceful figure, he received a call from his senior sister.
Ma Yuanzhi's voice sounded very anxious: "Junior Brother, where are you? The Cyan Wood Ointment is in trouble, now the stock I have can't be sold, many clients came with regulatory authorities and police officers to seek compensation. The situation is too severe, come over quickly now!"
Hearing this, Li Chuan felt a tightness in his heart. Lately, he had been in frequent contact with his senior sister Ma Yuanzhi via WeChat, knowing that his senior sister had been mass-producing in the martial arts hall together with their martial brothers. She even registered a company, and the Cyan Wood Ointment series was in the process of applying for related certificates, GMP, CE, and other certifications.
How could something go wrong at this critical juncture?
"Senior Sister, don't worry, what exactly is happening?"
Li Chuan asked while walking towards Ma Family Martial Arts Hall.
Ma Yuanzhi: "In the past two days, I've sold thirty bottles of Cyan Wood Ointment, but today, some people developed allergic reactions, among which serious ones have had their facial skin rot and develop abscesses. Li Chuan, where are you? I don't even know what to do..."
"Senior Sister, don't panic, don't worry, I'll be at the martial arts hall soon."
Li Chuan hung up the phone and hurried towards Ma Family Martial Arts Hall.
While walking, he made a call to Zhao Donglai, as he needed to find out what's wrong with the Cyan Wood Ointment. According to his formula, even if there was a slight variance in the amount of herbal medicine or heat, it would only result in reduced effectiveness, but absolutely not cause anyone's skin to ulcerate and ooze pus.
After calling Zhao Donglai, he learned that a strong alkali was detected in the Cyan Wood Ointment, a component typically used on industrial steel materials, adding such a strong alkali to skincare products would indeed disfigure people, wouldn't it?
It's obvious someone is trying to harm his senior sister!
After making the call, Li Chuan also saw the courtyard of the Ma Family Martial Arts Hall.
From afar, he saw that the outside of the martial arts hall was already crowded with people, many of whom were well-dressed middle-aged women, with some police officers and market regulation officials mediating, maintaining order.
At present, these middle-aged women's emotions were very provoked, dozens of these well-off ladies surrounded his senior sister Ma Yuanzhi, each with a furious look and eyes as wide as saucers. If looks could kill, his senior sister would have been dead a thousand times over!
"Ma Yuanzhi, how can you sell us such toxic cosmetics? You will be struck by lightning for making money this way!"
"Yes! Claiming it's from a high-end laboratory in Europe! All lies! Fortunately, I haven't applied it, otherwise, my face would've been ruined, wouldn't it?"
"Really inhumane! These days, people will do anything for money! And your mother is a philanthropist? I think that's a lie too!"
"..."
A group of women kept cursing at Ma Yuanzhi, becoming more and more agitated as they spoke, as if their faces had truly been ruined!
Surrounded in the middle, Ma Yuanzhi was being insulted with harsh words by these ladies. Unable to do anything, tears were welling up in her eyes.
There was nothing she could say that would be listened to.
Besides, it was her first time encountering such a situation, and she had absolutely no experience in public relations.
As for her martial brothers around, they also looked helpless, not knowing what to do. If it was a matter of physical confrontation, they could help a bit, but they were powerless against these ladies.
Finally, they could only vent their anger on Li Chuan. If it wasn't for that guy causing trouble with the Cyan Wood Ointment, they wouldn't have had to endure such humiliation.
Li Chuan promptly walked over, squeezed through the crowd, stood in front of Ma Yuanzhi, raised both hands, and shouted loudly: "Ladies, please calm down, listen to me first!"
His voice, full of vigor, was as loud as a spring thunder, instantly quieting the scene.
"I can assure you, our Cyan Wood Ointment has no issues whatsoever. As to why it would cause skin ulceration and pus, I have already asked the police to conduct an investigation, and I believe the truth will soon be revealed. As for those customers whose skin was damaged after applying the Cyan Wood Ointment, I solemnly promise that you will definitely be healed!"
"Kid, who are you? What gives you the right to make such promises?" a woman yelled, clearly discontent.
Li Chuan: "The Cyan Wood Ointment, the formula was provided by me, using only the finest Chinese medicinal materials. I have utmost confidence in my formula; it's absolutely impossible to damage anyone's skin. I'm sure among you ladies, someone must have used it; you can touch your own face and ask if the Cyan Wood Ointment has improved your skin?"
His question caused many of the women to fall silent.
Seeing this, Li Chuan continued: "So, we all know quite clearly the effects of my Cyan Wood Ointment. As for why it resulted in ulceration and pus for some users, I've inquired and found that someone added industrial-grade strong alkali to it!"
"As for what's really going on, we will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give everyone an explanation!"
At this moment, this group of women besieging Ma Family Martial Arts Hall, if it was just an individual's power, in Jiangzhou City, it wouldn't cause much stir. However, all these women combined, their influence was incredibly strong. Not only did they have their own businesses, but their husbands were also quite powerful.
Therefore, Li Chuan had to pacify them first, otherwise, these people could wreak havoc, and they weren't joking around.
Although Li Chuan was very sincere and what he said was indeed reasonable, once these women found out that the Cyan Wood Ointment wasn't a top luxury brand from Europe, their trust was already completely lost!
A tall, strong woman coldly said: "The formula provided by you? Who do you think you are? It's utterly irresponsible to society! Daring to use us as your low-end product's test subjects! It's simply outrageous! I want a refund, ten times the refund!"
"Exactly! Fraud business, must refund, ten times! No, fifty times!"
"That's right! Outrageous! Treating us like lab rats?"
"..."
All these women were infuriated, and if it wasn't for the fact that this was a martial arts hall, they wouldn't just be arguing, but would have started fighting instead!
However, they weren't just making threats; given their strength, they indeed had the capability to accomplish that!
