Chapter 197: Not Worth Mentioning
Chu Feng stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Honey, is that all it takes?" Su Miaoke asked, very curious.
’I can’t believe it. My husband just fed them some Foundation Establishment Liquid, and that’s enough to cure their poison?’
"Yeah, they’ll wake up soon," Chu Feng replied.
When Zhao Quan saw the bottle in Chu Feng’s hand, his eyes went wide.
"Big Brother, is that... is that the..." Zhao Quan looked at Chu Feng in disbelief.
Chu Feng just smiled faintly and nodded without speaking. Zhao Quan, taking the hint, didn’t press the matter.
Because Zhao Quan knew that such things couldn’t be spoken of lightly.
The bodyguards waited with anxious expressions, while the nearby medical staff stared with wide eyes.
They all thought Chu Feng was just boasting.
But none of them dared to speak. The dark, purplish color on the two old men’s faces had indeed faded, which left them feeling completely unsure of themselves.
"Are Mr. He and Mr. Huang really okay?" one of the two old men’s bodyguards asked urgently.
The bodyguards were terribly worried, because if something happened to their bosses, they would be completely finished.
"Wait a little longer and you’ll see," Chu Feng replied.
Just as the words left his mouth, both Mr. He and Mr. Huang opened their eyes.
After opening their eyes, the two old men felt incredibly refreshed and clear-headed.
"Ah, this feels amazing. I haven’t felt this good in a long time," Elder Huang was the first to speak. The man, dressed in a custom-tailored suit, had a look of utter astonishment on his face.
Mr. Huang, the mining magnate of Beihai City, climbed up from the floor, feeling much more comfortable throughout his body.
Mr. He, who was beside him, also stood up, his eyes filled with shock.
"This..." He sensed the changes within his body and recalled when they had been drinking earlier.
"I remember being poisoned, don’t I? What... what’s going on?" Mr. He asked with a baffled expression, then looked around at everyone.
At that moment, he noticed three strangers in the room, along with several members of the medical support team.
He had never seen Chu Feng, Su Miaoke, or Zhao Quan before.
It was the same for Mr. Huang, who asked his bodyguard, "Who are these people?"
"Mr. Huang, it’s like this." Mr. Huang’s bodyguard recounted everything that had just happened.
After hearing the story, both Mr. Huang and Mr. He wore expressions of surprise.
"Oh? You were the one who saved us? My name is He Guangming. May I ask for my benefactor’s esteemed name?" Mr. He asked immediately, a trace of gratitude on his face.
In truth, what shocked him most was the mysterious liquid Chu Feng had fed him. Not only had it cured the poison, but it had also nearly eliminated the chronic, hidden ailments that had plagued his body for years.
Therefore, he was extremely grateful to Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng," Chu Feng replied calmly.
"Brother Chu, you’re my lifesaver. If you need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to come to me," He Guangming said with a respectful expression.
Beside him, Huang Xuan, the ore magnate of Beihai, was also incredibly grateful to Chu Feng.
"Brother, if you ever have any trouble in Beihai, just give me a call. I’ll take care of it for you," Huang Xuan said as well.
"It was nothing. I just didn’t want you to die here and have the blame fall on Zhao Liu," Chu Feng said lightly.
After speaking, Chu Feng started to walk out with Su Miaoke and Zhao Quan.
"Zhao Liu? Brother Chu, you know Zhao Liu?" Both He Guangming and Huang Xuan were startled, not expecting the young man before them to know Zhao Liu.
Chu Feng paused. Before he could answer, Zhao Quan, who was beside him, spoke up. "This is my big brother. From now on, you’d better be respectful when you see him. What’s a Zhao Liu? He’s nothing more than a servant of my family."
With that, the three of them left.
But Zhao Quan’s words had shocked everyone present.
They were all perfectly aware of who Zhao Liu was.
The transportation king of Beihai City. If Zhao Liu said he was number two in all of Beihai, no one would dare claim to be number one.
Moreover, He Guangming and Huang Xuan both knew that Zhao Liu was backed by the Zhao Family.
But they had never imagined that Zhao Quan was actually a member of the Zhao Family.
Although one of them was backed by Sword King Valley and the other by the Jiangdong Huang Family, the two of them, just like Zhao Liu, were merely puppets of these two Martial Arts Families—nothing more than servants.
"Old Huang, it’s time we found an opportunity to go see Zhao Liu," He Guangming said, looking at Huang Xuan.
Huang Xuan’s face was also grave as he nodded in agreement.
"Yes. Perhaps our three families can reach a cooperation," Huang Xuan said.
"Someone, take this liquor back and have it tested. Find out what kind of poison it is," He Guangming said to his bodyguards.
Hu Biao also followed Chu Feng and the others out of the private room, and the medical personnel all left as well.
"Mr. Chu, thank you," Hu Biao said, giving Chu Feng a deep, 180-degree bow.
"What are you thanking me for?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"If you hadn’t stepped in, things would have been disastrous today. I would not have escaped with my life," Hu Biao said, his face showing the relief of someone who had survived a great ordeal. He was still terrified just thinking back on it.
"It just means it wasn’t your time to die. You should hurry up and investigate thoroughly to find out where the problem occurred. Then have your Sixth Master deal with it," Chu Feng said.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Chu. Rest assured, I had people start investigating the moment it happened. I believe we’ll have results very soon," Hu Biao said respectfully, then watched the three of them leave.
"Zhao Quan, I’m heading back for now. Call me if anything comes up," Chu Feng said to Zhao Quan.
"Alright, Big Brother. Be careful on your way," Zhao Quan said with a nod.
"Honey, how did you know the Foundation Establishment Liquid could cure poison?" Su Miaoke asked curiously in the car.
"The Foundation Establishment Liquid is meant to stabilize the five viscera, meridians, and bones. Poison is an external substance, so when it encounters the liquid, it’s naturally expelled from the body," Chu Feng explained.
"So, how much Foundation Establishment Liquid do you have left?" Su Miaoke asked again.
"I gave them about three drops each," Chu Feng said.
"What? Three drops? That’s my six-day dose!" Su Miaoke’s eyebrows shot up when she heard this.
"Er... about that... I’ll refine some more for you when we get back," Chu Feng replied.
"Why didn’t you ask them for money just now? Even having them pay with medicinal herbs would have been good. You’re using up a lot of herbs every day," Su Miaoke said.
"You have a point. That’s a great idea. Next time, I’ll have each of them get me a hundred tons of medicinal herbs," Chu Feng said with a laugh.
Not long after, the two of them returned to the factory.
"President Chu, there’s something I need to report to you," Wu Yongzhi said from the side as Chu Feng’s car drove into the factory grounds.
"Oh? What is it?" Chu Feng asked.
"President Chu, not long after you left, a car was seen circling the area a few times before heading towards the Beihai Hotel," Wu Yongzhi said.
