"Really?"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Min Ziqiong became instantly excited.
Disbelief flashed across her face.
She had waited for this day for a very long time, ever since Nannan was born and diagnosed with muteness.
But each repeated wait was met with repeated disappointment.
To the point where later, when people spoke of curing muteness in front of Min Ziqiong, she no longer believed them.
It wasn't until Ying Chen made a bet with Elder Shen Nong Zong Guo that he could cure Nannan's muteness, that Min Ziqiong felt a glimmer of hope rekindle.
However, Min Ziqiong dared not anticipate too much, lest the eventual disappointment be an even heavier blow!
But as she came to understand Ying Chen more and more, her initial lack of expectation transformed into sudden confidence!
If Ying Chen couldn't cure Nannan's muteness, then perhaps no one in this world could!
"Of course," Ying Chen nodded.
"Good, good, good, I'll call Xiao Qing right now! To have him bring Elder Guo back!"
Min Ziqiong hurried towards the bedroom.
Leaving Ying Chen and Nannan alone, Ying Chen crouched down, stroked Nannan's head, and softly asked, "Once your muteness is cured, Qing Tian You Yue's remnant fragment might no longer be able to reside in your head. This means..."
Ying Chen hesitated, then decided to tell Nannan the truth.
"You may no longer be able to display a series of astonishing innate divine abilities with the aid of Qing Tian You Yue's remnant fragment. For instance, the Qing Tian Illusion Realm you once activated, or your nascent Golden Embryo Yang God. These incredible talents are likely all achieved with Qing Tian You Yue's assistance..."
"There's even a worst-case scenario. When the fragment is removed, you might directly become an ordinary person."
"Can you accept such a mundane fate?"
Nannan looked brightly at Ying Chen. Whether she understood his words or not, she smiled sweetly at him and then nodded.
Seeing Nannan like this, Ying Chen inexplicably felt a pang of sadness.
He secretly vowed that if that worst-case scenario were to occur, he would exhaust all his efforts to find rare treasures, even if he had to force-feed them, to cultivate a prodigy!
"Mr. Ying, the call is finished. Xiao Qing's hidden ailment has only one day of treatment left. After it's completed, he will return with Elder Guo."
"They should arrive in Jianghai the day after tomorrow."
Min Ziqing had been previously ambushed, leaving a hidden ailment within him.
With Elder Guo's treatment, they had finally reached the last day of the course, after which he could once again be lively and enjoy life.
"Returning the day after tomorrow? That's fine, my express delivery will arrive tomorrow, giving me time to prepare."
Ying Chen frowned slightly, then said.
The dragon blood, dragon meat, and dragon bones from after slaying Qing Qiu had all been packaged by He Chongxu into wine, premium snowflake beef, and snake skeleton exhibits, and shipped from Xiangjiang back to Jianghai.
They would arrive tomorrow.
Ying Chen could use those items to strengthen the Du Tian Qi Lu Great Array in the backyard, and also refine some pills to extract the remnant fragments from Nannan's mind more quickly and smoothly.
Min Ziqiong, unaware of what Ying Chen's delivery contained, gave him a curious look but didn't ask further.
After bidding Nannan and Ying Chen goodnight, she left.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one for Min Ziqiong.
However, Min Ziqiong's sleeplessness stemmed from excitement and anticipation.
After all, Ying Chen had invested billions, clearing all obstacles for her regarding Shen Jing's production.
And Nannan's muteness was about to be cured.
Her sleeplessness was understandable.
But for some, sleeplessness was not due to excitement, but rather fear, anger, and immense pressure!
At this moment, a group of people were gathered, their faces grave and silent.
Upon closer inspection, several familiar faces could be seen among them.
They were some of the collaborators who had fled from Ying Chen's villa in disarray!
However, these collaborators appeared humble, sitting in the lowest seats.
Their seats were even lower than those above.
And the people seated above were all fair-skinned, blue-eyed, and had aquiline noses!
They were several foreigners!
From United Sun Moon Company, Bao Jie Group, and Eden Garden Laboratories!
These three giant companies were, for the first time, sitting together, forming an alliance!
The reason for this alliance was, undoubtedly, to target Min Ziqiong and Shen Jing!
As industry giants, they were well aware of the formidable impact Shen Jing would have upon its market debut.
Especially if Shen Jing were to upgrade and develop more potent life-enhancing products, it would cause countless global financiers and tycoons to flock to Shen Jing, leaving them isolated and struggling.
Therefore, no matter the cost, they had to nip Shen Jing in the bud!
"Carl, you always have the most cunning and underhanded ideas. Tell us, how should we proceed to turn the tables this time?"
Suddenly, one of the foreigners spoke.
The foreigner named Carl retorted unhappily, "I'm underhanded and cunning? Are you clean? The biggest scandal of your United Sun Moon Company was created by you! Back then, over a hundred people died because of that scandal! If it weren't for your company's financial power to suppress the scandal, your company would have been infamous and bankrupt long ago!"
"Enough, enough, is this the time to be discussing such things? You are both seasoned veterans, unlike me, who spends years in the laboratory and is out of touch with worldly affairs. Whether it's dirty or cunning, just come up with a plan quickly. We absolutely cannot let Shen Jing go into production!" a person from Eden Garden Laboratories interjected.
But as soon as he spoke, he was met with disdain from both United Sun Moon and Bao Jie companies.
Spending years in the laboratory?
Out of touch with worldly affairs?
Heh, anyone who believed that was a fool!
Who didn't know how many lives Eden Garden Laboratories had caused over the years for their experiments!
Did they really think they were pure and untainted like lilies in a ivory tower?
The three were silent for a moment, then exchanged glances and said in unison, "So, we all agree to use unconventional means?"
After speaking, the three burst into laughter.
"Great minds think alike!"
"If that's the case, then let's proceed! Min Ziqiong thinks that by getting money and finding a benefactor, she can contend with us?"
"Excuse me, the reason our three companies can exert influence globally is not just due to our vast financial resources, but also because we possess other powers that the world cannot see!"
"This power is enough to make any disobedient person or company tremble, fear, submit, or even be destroyed!"
"There's a saying in Dragon Country: 'A cornered dog will leap over the wall.' I suggest we call this plan 'The Cornered Dog's Leap'."
"However, whether we are the dog leaping over the wall, or Min Ziqiong, remains to be seen!"
Carl said.
The other two nodded in agreement, "Agreed."
"Agreed."
As for the collaborators below, the three of them completely ignored them.
Because in the eyes of Carl and the other two, those collaborators were also dogs!
