The hurried knocking at the door made Pu Shicheng's face turn ashen, as if Death itself had come knocking.
Seeing Pu Shicheng's pathetic state, Cheng Xiaofan said with annoyance, "Who is it that's scaring you so much?"
"I've already released the Qi energy locking the door. Go open it, I want to see who's here to cause trouble!"
Pu Shicheng said, "It's my brother!"
"He's knocking so frantically, it must be bad news!"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "Isn't your brother Pu Dongbao?"
"One legal wife, two mistresses on the side,"
"And a foolish son at home!"
"He's the captain of the South City Special Police, right?"
Pu Shicheng asked in surprise, "Sir, you know my brother?"
Cheng Xiaofan glared, "Who does he think he is? How could I know him?"
"I can tell from your Qi."
"Go open the door!"
Pu Shicheng was astonished that Cheng Xiaofan could deduce his brother's family situation, even mentioning his brother's secret mistresses.
As Pu Shicheng approached the door, his elder brother kicked it open.
With a bang, his head hit the door, sending him sprawling backward.
Pu Dongbao roared at Pu Shicheng, "Are you deaf? I've been knocking for ages, and you didn't come to open it?"
Pu Shicheng scrambled to his feet, rubbing the bump on his head.
With a mournful face, he said, "I was chatting with a friend and didn't notice you knocking!"
"Brother, is there something urgent?"
*Slap!*
Pu Dongbao slapped Pu Shicheng across the face.
He roared furiously, "Good for you, Pu Shicheng, you've really outdone yourself!"
"What exactly is this 'Pu's Divine Medicine' you produced?"
"You gave me dozens of bottles, and I gave them to my superiors. Their whole families are now paralyzed in bed, unable to control their bowels or urine."
"I was summoned and berated like a dog."
"If I can't resolve this today, I'll not only be dismissed but might also end up in jail!"
"You damn fool, are you trying to kill me?"
Both Pu Shicheng and Che Zheng'en turned pale upon hearing this.
They finally realized that what Cheng Xiaofan had said was true.
"Brother, I didn't mean to,"
Pu Shicheng quickly tried to defend himself, pointing at Che Zheng'en, "I produced it according to his recipe!"
Che Zheng'en panicked and immediately said, "Captain Pu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to either."
"I never expected that a recipe stolen from Huaxia would result in this!"
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan clapped his hands and burst into laughter, "Interesting, this dramatic twist is truly interesting!"
Hearing this, Pu Dongbao glared at Cheng Xiaofan with a ferocious expression.
He snarled, "Kid, who are you?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and replied, "Pu Dongbao, I am your grand-uncle!"
Pu Dongbao leaped up in anger, roaring, "Kid, do you want to die?"
Cheng Xiaofan dangled his legs and said, "Pu Dongbao, your younger brother calls me grand-uncle. According to seniority, if you don't call me grand-uncle, what should you call me?"
Pu Dongbao turned his head and glared at Pu Shicheng, "You call him grand-uncle?"
Pu Shicheng nodded fearfully, "Yes, I've always called him grand-uncle!"
Pu Dongbao asked, enraged, "Who is he? I've never met this grand-uncle before!"
Pu Shicheng's legs trembled as he said, "Brother, he is Cheng Xiaofan, who rushed over from Huaxia. He knows we stole his recipe to produce 'Pu's Divine Medicine' and has come to expose us!"
Pu Dongbao gritted his teeth and said to Cheng Xiaofan, "So, you are the Cheng Xiaofan who invented the Cheng's New Medicine?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded with a smile, "Yes, what about it?"
Pu Dongbao exploded in anger, "But why did your medicine paralyze everyone who took it?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "The medicine has a problem, you should ask Che Zheng'en about that!"
"Why are you yelling at me?"
Pu Dongbao then cast his sinister gaze back to Che Zheng'en.
Che Zheng'en knew that Pu Dongbao was short-tempered and vicious. Now that his superior's family was paralyzed, he was truly enraged and might even face a firing squad.
He trembled with fear.
He wanted to shift the blame to Cheng Xiaofan, but then he remembered Cheng Xiaofan's "bone-clinging needles" and broke out in a cold sweat.
Che Zheng'en finally said, "Captain Che, it's not my fault. I never expected this recipe to be so strange and cause such a situation!"
Pu Dongbao immediately detected the truth from his tone.
The problem lay with Che Zheng'en's control over the ingredients.
*Slap!*
He slapped Che Zheng'en across the face.
He roared, "You scoundrel, you didn't have the ability to handle this recipe, yet you dared to instigate Pu Shicheng to produce it?"
"You've ruined me, do you know that?"
"And you—"
Pu Dongbao pointed at Pu Shicheng and roared, "You sent out so much 'Pu's Divine Medicine' yesterday, how do you plan to deal with this?"
Pu Shicheng was terrified.
He had sent out so much medicine. If everyone who took it became paralyzed, his crime would be immense.
Not only would the entire Pu Group be shut down, but he would also go to jail, possibly even face the death penalty.
Pu Shicheng quickly went to Cheng Xiaofan.
He knelt down with a thud, crying out, "Grand-uncle, please save me!"
"I know you have a way, right?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I have a way."
"It's just paralysis from taking medicine,"
"For others, it's incurable,"
"But with me, it's no big deal!"
Pu Dongbao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Cheng Xiaofan, do you really have a solution?"
Cheng Xiaofan said angrily, "Pu Dongbao, I told you, I am your grand-uncle!"
Pu Dongbao suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile, "My apologies, I was flustered. Yes, I should call you grand-uncle!"
"Grand-uncle, please do us a favor and help my superior's family get out of bed."
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand, "We'll discuss this in the afternoon!"
"I'm hungry and need to eat!"
"Oh, and by the way—"
He reminded Pu Shicheng, "Pu Shicheng, don't forget to make it festive. After all, it's a celebration banquet, right?"
Pu Shicheng nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll call the company canteen staff right away to arrange it. I'll make sure grand-uncle is satisfied."
Pu Dongbao listened nearby, completely baffled.
What was this celebration banquet Cheng Xiaofan was talking about?
While Pu Shicheng was on the phone, he asked Cheng Xiaofan, "Grand-uncle, who is this celebration banquet for?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "This celebration banquet is naturally for me!"
