Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

"Auntie and Uncle, you're also welcome to visit Linping City, and I'll have my driver pick you up when you do,"

In Nanfeng City of Hua Country, within a residential neighborhood, Su Jie was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged couple.

This was Liu Yingying's childhood home, and Su Jie, fulfilling his promise to her, had accompanied her to her family's place.

"Ah Jie, eat up,"

Mr. Liu, his face aglow, kept clinking glasses with Su Jie at the dinner table, clearly in high spirits.

"Our Yingying can be a bit arrogant. Don't indulge her too much, Ah Jie. If she misbehaves, call me, and I, as her aunt, will teach her a lesson."

Mrs. Liu was also nodding with a smile, looking more and more pleased with her son-in-law by the minute.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Where am I arrogant?"

Liu Yingying murmured under her breath, feeling that ever since Su Jie's arrival, her status at home had plummeted.

"Let the young people sort things out themselves; we shouldn't worry too much,"

Mr. Liu gestured dismissively, exerting the authority of the head of the family.

After learning about Su Jie's background, especially that Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid was produced by his company, both Mr. and Mrs. Liu were astounded.

Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid had been incredibly popular lately; many of their neighbors and friends were using it, and they had witnessed the changes firsthand as new, black hair grew on balding heads.

And as for their daughter securing such a capable boyfriend, all the parents could feel was joy and blessings.

While the family was in the midst of laughter and conversation, Su Jie's phone suddenly rang.

After looking at the incoming call, Su Jie stood up and said, "I'm just going to take a call, you all keep eating,"

Having said that, Su Jie took his phone and walked out to the balcony.

Ten minutes later, seeing that Su Jie had not returned, Liu Yingying also got up and went to the balcony, where she overheard the tail end of a conversation.

"Let's play the long game and see if they have more people in the wings, just make sure they don't leave the Mande Region,"

Su Jie gave a few instructions and then hung up his call with Chen Yaoguang.

"What's happening in Mande City?"

Liu Yingying hadn't heard everything, but since the call was from Mande, it must be something significant.

"People from Linghui Company went to Mande, trying to get the formula for the original fluid of our Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid,"

Su Jie summarized the situation in the Mande Region and chuckled, "I didn't expect them to be so persistent, to actually go to Mande."

"We can't let them off easy,"

The moment Liu Yingying heard it was Linghui Company's people, she was furious—their Yafa Hair Growth Liquid had disgusted quite a few people.

"Don't worry, they clearly haven't done their homework, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come into our territory,"

Su Jie never showed mercy to those who were asking for trouble. In Hua Country he had to be cautious, but in the Mande Region, Su Jie had a thousand ways to take them down.

"Should we hurry back to Mande?" Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"No need, a few jumping clowns won't cause a stir. Spending time with your parents is more important right now. After everything is settled, I'll head over,"

Su Jie wrapped his arms around Liu Yingying and kissed her, and she felt a warm glow in her heart.

…

In the Mande Region.

Wang Xiaotong, Liu Canlin, and Lu Yixin were driving an SUV, navigating the twisting rural roads.

Liu Canlin, sitting in the passenger seat with a phone in hand, was following instructions from a voice on the phone, driving around seemingly aimlessly.

Another hour passed, and the three of them finally parked their off-road vehicle and entered a dense forest alone, waiting in front of a marked tree.

They were preparing to meet with the support staff dispatched from Asder Pharmaceutical's headquarters, reportedly a person of no ordinary status.

"Mr. Wang, someone is coming."

Liu Canlin, hearing footsteps, hurriedly gave a warning.

In the woods, a group of three people walked over.

The one in front was a white man in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Behind him, there was a black man and another white man, both with well-built figures and ferocious demeanors, their gazes sharp like those of eagles.

"So you are Asder Pharmaceutical's special affairs PR manager, Mr. Rafael Averson? I am Chairman Wang Xiaotong of Linghui Company."

Wang Xiaotong greeted him fluently in English, and the two shook hands.

"Chairman Wang, Asder Company has sent me here to take full charge of all matters concerning the hair growth original fluid formula, so I will be directing the subsequent operations. First, tell me about the progress of your activities here without omitting any details," Rafael said with a long, hooked nose that gave him an air of seriousness.

At the same time, he spoke in a dominating tone, almost as if he was giving orders.

Wang Xiaotong did not see anything wrong with this; after all, his initial fortune came from distributing drugs for Asder Company.

Furthermore, facing bankruptcy now, he had even more reason to rely on Asder Company for a chance to rise again.

Without delay, Wang Xiaotong recounted the actions of his group over the past two days in detail.

After being rejected the previous time, Wang Xiaotong once again teamed up with Liu Canlin and Lu Yixin. Through gathering information and visiting two other higher-ups of Fumen Breeding Farm,

one of them also turned down his proposal for an insider deal, but the other accepted his bribe and provided a map of the internal layout of Fumen Breeding Farm.

This further solidified Wang Xiaotong's belief that he would someday be able to bribe an inside man to obtain the hair growth original fluid.

"What you did was somewhat risky. Here we are strangers in a strange land, and you rashly approached those executives. What if they leaked our information, giving the other side a heads up?

Moreover, for something as important as the hair growth original fluid formula, the other company will certainly have extremely tight security; it's not something one or two middle managers would have access to.

Plus, we don't have that much time to waste; you have no idea how dangerous this place can be. In unfamiliar territory, we must cut through the mess swiftly."

Rafael, however, did not approve of Wang Xiaotong's plan after hearing his explanation.

Wang Xiaotong felt slightly panicked and blurted out subconsciously, "Of course I know about the dangers; that's why I brought bodyguards."

Rafael couldn't help but laugh, his eyes mocking, "Those few bodyguards of yours, do you even know what Jieke Company is all about?"

"Isn't it a company that breeds insects?"

"You actually took their word for it when they said they were a company? Clearly, this is a regional warlord with thousands of armed forces. The so-called Mande City is nothing more than a city maintained by Jieke Company; the whole city has taken on the form of the company."

Rafael laid out the actual situation.

A city entirely dependent on a single company for its operation is quite rare around the world.

Yet, it was really happening in Mande City.

"Really? The company is run by a warlord?"

Wang Xiaotong was stunned. Was he actually dealing with a warlord?

"Others merely disguise it as a company, but that does not change its intrinsic nature as a warlord. Our intelligence network isn't wrong," Rafael said icily. The intelligence network of large pharmaceutical companies is formidable.

In their day-to-day operations, to ensure the distribution of their drugs everywhere, pharmaceutical companies must collect intelligence to target their products effectively, colluding with various powers and using all sorts of methods to curry favor with and corrupt numerous officials and hospital directors.

Therefore, through intelligence, Rafael knew the true face of Jieke Company.
