Chapter 21: 21

If you say it, you’ll die. If you don’t, you’ll still die. 

Rhodes was a long-serving employee of Wan Shihong. An expert in boot-licking and relying on force to bully others. As the villain’s main cannon fodder, he had always been an example of success. 

 

This time, they aimed to find a non-influential orphan who rented a few acres of flower fields in the suburbs and established an online shop. With his reserved personality and direct interpersonal relationships. Wouldn’t a nobody like him be the most grabbable candidate with just a stretch of a hand? For that reason, the approach Rhodes adopted was also simple and crude: sabotaging the flower fields causing her to suffer heavy losses before giving her some sweet empathy and making her accept their solicitation in delight. 

 

The envisage was beautiful, but the actuality was wicked. 

 

Rhodes could have completed the task today. As soon as he arrived at the entryway, however, a bodyguard. Who appeared out of nowhere, barred him from continuing. He thought Roy merely contracted the bodyguards after the destruction of the flower field. Ignoring the murderous aura emanated by the guards, he yelled. 

 

The subject stepped out as he wished, but what in the devil was the man who followed him?!

 

Rhodes could not believe what he was seeing. Is that He Lin? Like He Lin? Is that really him?!’

 

The person in question walked to An Xian’s side, and she stood shoulder to shoulder-with him. He Lin looked at Rhodes and flatly asked, “What did you just say?”

 

What things did he spout of just now? Rhodes traced back his memory in a daze. What he had said seemed to be: “Within the medicine industry, there is no power that cannot be muddled down.”

 

Turning his sight to the man beside Roy, who was almost at the pinnacle of power, Rhodes’s tears were about to fall. ‘My brother, ah. You should have said it so that you knew He Lin! If you have such golden thighs, why don’t you show them off instead of hiding them at home to be pestered with mushrooms?!’

 

“Didn’t you say you want to sign a contract?” He Rin beckoned. “Bring it to me.”

 

Rhodes subconsciously hid the contract behind his back. He said with a stiff smile, “Hehe, you have misunderstood. How could there be such a contract?”

 

He Lin glanced at Fei Tuo by the door, and the latter seized the contract from Rhodes at once and gave it to He Lin. 

 

Rhodes dared not to utter a word. Several beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead. 

 

He Lin quickly scanned the contract. No joy or anger could be seen on his face, but the pressure from him made the hands and feet of the others tremble. 

 

An Xian leaned close and found the purchase prices of both Feixing Dose and Qingchen Pill remained the same. The annual dividend was still “1%,” but an additional clause was added. All patent rights of all new drugs she developed in the future belonged to Wan Shihong. 

 

“This is the contract you prepared for Roy?” He Lin’s calm voice broke the silence but made the atmosphere even more stifling. 

 

Rhodes’s lips shuddered. He tried to explain but could not utter any sound due to tension. 

 

He Lin shifted his attention to An Xian. “I heard from him just now that you were in trouble. What trouble was it? Is it related to your closing for the past two days?”

 

When these words were spoken, An Xian did not even react. In contrast to Rhodes, who was already shaking like a sieve. He snapped his head up and looked at An Xian with the most pleading eyes he could muster. ‘Don’t say it. Please, don’t say it!’

 

The closure was a deliberate measure by her to lure out these people as soon as possible. Now that she had achieved her intention, there was no need to borrow He Lin’s hand for help as she could deal with them at any time. Therefore, she replied, “It was of no importance. Just too busy, there was no time to ship the goods.”

 

He Lin thought she was too benevolent (?) and did not want to embarrass the suspects further, even if when bullied. 

 

His eyes narrowed, and the pair of icy gazes shot straight toward Rhodes.  

 

“Will you explain yourself or let me investigate it myself?”

 

His legs seemed to have lost all their strength. Rhodes was shaking like a leaf, yet he still clamped his mouth. If you say it, you’ll die. If you don’t say it, you’ll still die. 

 

Seeing both parties were deadlocked, An Xian did not want to waste time here and spoke, “Don’t force them; it’s like this. The night before yesterday, a few people sneaked into my flower field to poison it, destroying a lot of flowers.”

 

Poison!

 

Traces of anger crackled in He Lin’s eyes. Despite suffering from such vile behavior, Roy still wanted to let them go?

 

“Fei Tuo.” He Rin shouted sharply, “Send these people to the bureau and call someone over to investigate.”

 

“Affirmative.” Fei Tuo picked up the almost kneeling Rhodes, then threw him to the bodyguard nearby. He switched on a contact device and relayed instructions to the lower ranks.

 

“You come in with me.” He Lin tapped her on the back in passing and led her into the house. 

 

“Did I not tell you?” He Lin fixed his serious gaze on her. “Tell me if you are in trouble, and I will help you settle it. How could you submit to humiliation when you are being bullied?”

 

But she could solve it on her own though….

 

An Xian knew He Lin had good intentions and smiled. “If there is any trouble that can’t be solved next time, I will definitely ask you for help.”

 

“Remember that.” He Lin felt he had to monitor her in the future. Because he thought her self-awareness was not reassuring at all. 

 

From this moment on, someone decided that a lonely, independent, and kind-hearted An Xian needed his protection. 

 

By noon, An Xian invited He Lin for a meal at her home. She also took him to the studio afterward to examine his mental damage. 

 

Therapists helped others assess their mental damage by relying on their level of sensitivity to mental powers. Roy’s spiritual level was only D. Logically speaking, he was neither qualified nor capable of inspecting an S-level spiritual enhancer. He Lin, however, showed no contempt, allowing her to access his most vulnerable part. His spiritual world. 

 

He Lin deliberately suppressed his mental power to avoid accidentally hurting the other during the process. 

 

An Xian took notice of his stringency and soothed, “Relax and leave yourself to me.”

 

This sentence made He Lin’s heartstrings quiver, and his body became numb as if something had electrocuted it.

 

A warm sensation touched his forehead, and a tranquil spiritual force enveloped his entirety. It was as if he was inside the sea, vast and continuously rippling.

 

Under the gentle comfort, He Lin’s taut nerves gradually loosened. The pain tormenting him for a long time seemed to be distant from him.

He resembled an infant at this moment, defenseless against An Xian. 

 

When He Lin opened his eyes, he discovered him alone in the room, and the sky was tinged with red-orange hues outside the window. Unconsciously, four to five hours had passed. 

 

He Lin was astonished. Not only by An Xian’s extraordinary spiritual healing ability but also by his complete trust in her. Because had the other party made a slight error just now, his spirit would dive through utter chaos. 

 

He sensed that his sea of consciousness was very serene, and the pain faded away too. Although this was only provisional, Roy’s ability still surprised him immensely. 

 

Walking out of the room following his mental, He Lin found the slender figure in the courtyard.

 

This person seemed to be integrated with everything around him, whether sitting or standing, at all times and places. He looked so comfortable being as was.

 

“You’re awake?” An Xian put down the dried medicinal plants in his hands, walked to He Lin’s side, and said, “I already have a general understanding of your mental damage. However, since your mental level is too high, I can’t cure you straightaway, but slowly.”

 

He Lin gave a nod. He was mindful of the difficulty in treating S-level mental damage; this outcome was not surprising. However, he paid no attention to what An Xian said: it could not be cured “immediately.”

 

“If you have nothing to do, please go back.” An Xian pointed to the door. “Your adjutant has already asked for you several times. If he hadn’t sensed the stability of your mental aura, he would have rushed in and grabbed you out.”

 

He Lin could not respond. For the first time, he felt that his adjutant was too impatient. Did he not just take a nap for a while? Why make such a fuss? 

 

(Fei Tuo: Take a nap for a while?! Five straight hours, Sir. You can’t sleep for that long, even with medicine!)

 

Looking at the time, indeed, it was getting pretty late. 

 

“See you next time,” He Lin said goodbye and took his leave. 

 

Meanwhile, on Rhode’s side, after they were sent to the police station, he and the others pleaded guilty at once and confessed their relation to Chai Zimin. The latter expressed his indignation, claiming that he prompted no instructions to his mean to poison someone’s flower field at all! He had no clue which garlic Roy was. To a certain extent, Chai Zimin did not speak the untruth, thus shouting about injustice for the accusation of his subordinates. However, confronted with proof from various witnesses, he could only seethe in his “injustice.” While his heart remained aggrieved throughout. 

 

Fei Tuo, of course, would not use He Lin’s name in this matter; instead, find a subordinate to handle it on his behalf. After all, He Lin had a particular identity. If ordinary folk saw him on the street, he was bound to garner much attention. An inconvenience for them—be it him or the small shop owner. 

 

He Lin was oblivious that Fei Tuo had warned An Xian while He Lin was asleep. “Never disclose your relationship with Lord He to the public; otherwise, you will be at your own risk.”

 

An Xian did not give a damn. She did not believe she had any relationship with He Lin worth revealing.

 

On the same day evening, Huahua World opened its doors for business. 

 

The comment area exploded like a boiling pot, and the flower friends wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves upon the leader’s return. 

 

[Ahhhhhh, Leader, you are finally back!!!]

 

[Leader, didn’t you think of leaving a brief notice before you closed? Those unfamiliar with you thought you had slinked off with the money!]

 

[Can you remind us before closing next time? Or at least let us know why you’ll be out again and when you will reopen!]

 

[Leader, you will lose your baby like this if you do that again. Do you know how I spent the past two days? It’s simply cut-up liver and guts, thinking like mad.]

 

[Leader, are you ill? If you feel unwell, please take a good rest. Don’t worry; we’ll always support you.]

 

[These days, I often see people giving negative reviews to Huahua World. The Leader isn’t likely to be targeted by competitors, right?]

 

[The speculation of upstairs is likely to occur. Leader, worry not. The eyes of the masses are sharp, and any negative comments will not shake your position in our hearts.]

 

[Leader, make haste and get some new medicine to soothe our injured hearts!]

 

[Seconded!]

 

….

 

Seeing these comments, An Xian felt warmth budding in her heart. 

 

It was indeed good to have someone to care about you. 

 

To repay the love and support of the flower friends, An Xian was resolute in making a fortune and spreading welfare. 

[Announcement: From February 15th to February 25th, buyers who have spent over 1,000 points in our store will receive a pot of flowers.]

 

[Long live the Leader!]

 

[Leader is so bold and expansive!]

 

[Leader, you finally become generous!]

 

And that was not the end. A second announcement followed immediately. 

 

[Announcement: New products will be released in five days. 

Auction Quantity: 20 

Free place quota: 5

The five best selected from this new medicine’s live broadcasts will be given away free quotas for the next developed drug.]

 

As soon as the announcement ended, the comment area completely exploded!

 

Besides the increase in the quantity in both auctions and the number of free quotas, there was still an excellent chance to get a free place for the next new drug by live streaming! Everyone started rolling up their sleeves for battle, swearing to bag this medicine themselves. Because it just so meant that they get to live broadcast and earn a spot for the next new drug.

 

There was only one thought in everyone’s mind now: “The new drug will be released soon1
