Just as Luo Lan had expected, those who coveted the black medicine in Ren Xiaosu's hands would not let it go just because of Lu Yuan's interference.
The effects of the black medicine had slowly spread throughout the stronghold. Every day, there would be an endless stream of people coming to the shop to ask for the medicine. If it were just the original effects of the black medicine, it would not have made people go crazy over it. But it was amazing that it could treat infertility.
Although Wang Fugui had never acknowledged the medicine's effects, most of the people coming to the shop were basically asking for it.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of The Cataclysm, but more and more people were suffering from infertility nowadays. This was the market for the black medicine.
The market of just one stronghold might still be relatively small, but many of the medium-sized companies in the stronghold were already capable of selling the medicine to other strongholds. At the very least, it would not be a problem for them to do so in the dozen or so strongholds controlled by the Li Consortium.
If they could get their hands on the black medicine's formula, their pharmaceutical company would have a steady stream of money in their hands.
Who would complain about having too much money?
Early this morning, Ren Xiaosu went to school to continue taking his exams. Meanwhile, Wang Fugui went out to check out the bicycle market outside since it was not the weekly medicine sales time yet. Since Ren Xiaosu had told him to buy a bicycle, he had to take a good look at it.
Since the boss had already given the order, the shopkeeper would definitely get busy.
Sister Xiaoyu also told Chen Wudi to keep an eye on the shop before going out to buy some groceries. She was planning to make some pork ribs soup for Ren Xiaosu and the others in the evening. After all, there were more members of the family who needed to grow up, so she had to cook nutritionally.
But in the morning, several people in bright red uniforms suddenly came to the shop. When they walked in, they saw Wang Fugui sitting with his legs crossed. "Who's Wang Fugui?"
Chen Wudi glanced at them. "Why are you looking for him?"
"We're from the stronghold's Legal Department. My name is Chen Bohan. Someone is suing Wang Fugui for unfair business competition, so we're here to serve him a subpoena," the man in the red uniform said.
Chen Wudi was taken aback. "What do you mean by unfair competition?"
"You'll know when you get to the Legal Division's courtroom." Chen Bohan from the Legal Division glanced at Wang Fugui. "You're not Wang Fugui, right? You can sign it on his behalf, but this subpoena has to be signed by an adult member of his immediate family. Are you his immediate family member?"
"I am," Chen Wudi said.
"Oh, sign it then." Chen Bohan handed a pen to Chen Wudi. "What's your relationship with the defendant?"
Chen Wudi said, "I'm his eldest senior bro."
Chen Bohan: "???"
As he spoke, Chen Bohan snatched the subpoena back. "What kind of direct relative is Eldest Senior Brother? What are you doing here?"
Chen Wudi was also unhappy. "What did I do? The four of us are like a family. How can we not be direct relatives? "
Chen Bohan from the Legal Division choked on his words for a long time before explaining, "That's not how you interpret direct relatives. Wang Dalong is Wang Fugui's direct relative, but you're not."
Chen Wudi was even more confused after thinking for a long time. "What's the difference? Wang Dalong is our third junior bro. If he's an immediate relative, then why isn't Eldest Senior Brother a direct relative?"
Chen Bohan: "???"
What kind of nonsense was this!
Chen Bohan was so angry that he turned around and left. He felt he could not explain things clearly to Chen Wudi at all.
When Ren Xiaosu came back in the evening and learned about this, he frowned. He suddenly felt like he did not fit in with the bustling stronghold.
When they first entered the stronghold, the people on the streetcar got off because they were refugees.
When he first entered the school, the parents of the students wanted him to transfer schools because he was a refugee.
Now that their shop had just become popular, the other party was using the rules of the stronghold to deal with them. They wanted them to hand over the formula for the black medicine. Otherwise, they would be jailed and their families would be ruined.
Ren Xiaosu used to yearn for the stronghold. But at this moment, just like Yan Liuyuan, he also wanted to leave.
The longer he lived in the stronghold, the more Ren Xiaosu felt it was not as comfortable as living in the wilderness.
Sometimes, Ren Xiaosu wondered if it was possible for him to establish a home of his own.
No, he did not have that ability yet.
But Ren Xiaosu had never been a deserter. Since he knew nothing about the rules of the stronghold, he would use his own rules to solve the problem.
Ren Xiaosu said to Wang Fugui, "If there's another subpoena, just go to the Legal Division and see what's going on. Find out who's behind this. I'll take care of the rest."
"There won't be any problems, right?" Wang Fugui asked worriedly.
"No," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile. Didn't Luo Lan say the Li Consortium couldn't care less about such a trivial matter?
At this moment, in the eyes of those rich people, Wang Fugui, Ren Xiaosu, and the others in this shop were just a group of refugees who had just entered the stronghold. Although they had Lu Yuan and Luo Lan's protection, this was still the Li Consortium's territory!
But what they did not know was that the culprit behind the massacre of Midnight last night was the owner of this shop.
The news of Midnight being wiped out had already caused a sensation among the higher-ups of the consortium. The investigation at the scene showed that there were only two people fighting Midnight at the time, and one of them could even take on three of Midnight's opponents at once.
Midnight itself was already very famous, but there was actually a supernatural being who could crush Midnight at this time. More importantly, no one knew who this person was.
At this moment, the Demon Whisperer, Li Shentan, and Si Liren were sitting in a small shop eating noodles. The people next to them were discussing what happened last night.
The Public Order Division did not keep this matter a secret, so news of it spread extremely quickly. In the past, supernatural beings were still a little distant to the commoners. But after tonight, it seemed like the distance between them had narrowed significantly.
An uncle who was drinking at the next table said mysteriously, "Everyone says they don't know who did it. The culprit hasn't even been found yet."
"That's too cruel. They actually killed so many people at once." Someone sighed.
"What do you know? The Pyro Company's people aren't good people either." The uncle said disdainfully, "A friend of mine told me they were the ones who caused the explosion some time ago."
Li Shentan said to the young girl with a smile, "It should be that Ren Xiaosu."
"How do you know it's him?" Si Liren asked curiously as she blinked.
"There are only so many supernatural beings in this stronghold, and he's the only supernatural being I don't know what kind of power he has." Li Shentan looked very radiant when he smiled. No one would expect him to be the Demon Whisperer who made the various consortiums nervous. He continued, "See? I told you he's very powerful."
"Is it because you can't hypnotize him?" Si Liren asked.
"No, no, no, I haven't tried hypnotizing him before." Li Shentan said with a smile, "That's because my intuition tells me that if I hypnotize him, I might be the one to fall asleep instead. Of course, it's just my intuition. "
"Then should I go and kill him?" Si Liren asked curiously. Her innocent tone did not seem to have any sense of good or evil. Her murderous words formed a huge contrast with her adorable face.
Li Shentan shook his head. "Why would we kill him? Have you forgotten that we've only just become friends with him?"
"Oh, that's right." Si Liren nodded. "We're friends now."
"Besides, you might not be able to defeat him." Li Shentan sighed.
