Chapter 736 (2/2)

Tang Xiu looked at her and asked, “If there is a medicinal pill that can increase the lifespan of the elderly for 3 to 5 years, what price do you think this medicinal pill could be sold at?”

“How many of these medicinal pills can you produce, exactly?” Asked Xue Yu.

“Only a few. I can refine ten in a short time, that’s my limit,” answered Tang Xiu.

Xue Yu was lost in thought for a long time before she slowly said, “An object is valued in proportion to its rarity, and life is something a human attaches great importance to. Nowadays, either in the mainland or overseas, the matter of most importance for many rich and powerful people is being close to death’s door. They will probably spend a lot of their fortune just to be able to live three years more.”

“What about the specific pricing?” Asked Tang Xiu with raised brows.

“Tentatively setting the price at 500 million should not be a problem,” said Xue Yu seriously.

500 million yuan?

Tang Xiu took a deep breath before he took out his mobile and dialed Li Juren’s cell number. Quickly, Li Juren’s hearty laughter came from the phone, as he then said, “Tang Xiu, I’m so glad you called!”

“I want to discuss something with you,” said Tang Xiu. “You already learned about the Life Essence Pill. If I were to sell you 10 Life Essence Pills for 500 million each, would you buy them?”

“I would!” Replied Li Juren with a decisive tone.

“I will bring 10 Life Essence Pills to Jingmen Island in half a month,” said Tang Xiu. “If you are determined to buy them, then come to the Jingmen Island’s Everlasting Feast Hall! As for whether you buy it for yourself or to resell, it’s your business.”

“Pricing a pill at 500 million yuan is very affordable and profitable,” said Li Juren with a happy tone. “I’ll personally rush to Jingmen Island and wait for your call.”

“Alright.” Tang Xiu replied and directly hung up the phone.

Xue Yu could clearly hear the conversation between Tang Xiu and Li Juren just now. Though she regarded wealth as something trivial, she still felt genuine admiration inside toward Tang Xiu, as he could sell ten medicinal pills for a total of 5 billion yuan just via a phone call.

Force, talent and knowledge, moral character, and the ability to make money.

Xue Yu analyzed these four characteristics inwardly and thought it over and over again. She could see that Tang Xiu possessed all these four, and very splendidly at that.

“Then, are you going to refine this medicinal pill?”

“Yeah, I’ll go with you to the medicine herbs market tomorrow and buy some medicinal herbs in passing.” Tang Xiu nodded. “Anyways, when will the medicated diet be ready? I’m going back home earlier after drinking it up.”

Xue Yu stared blankly, and then immediately said, “Can you… stay tonight?”

Tang Xiu shot her a deep look before shaking his head and saying, “I can’t. There are things I need to deal with. Just wait, I’ll have to take care of something shortly.”

Sure enough. After the medicated diet was boiled and Tang Xiu had yet to finish drinking it, Mo Awu called him to report that a fierce battle just occurred between the SOE’s Austin Cole’s group and the military in the vicinity of Kangsha Pharmaceuticals in Jingning District. The military lost some people, but Austin Cole was injured and had seven or eight of his men killed in the fierce battle.

“Two people suddenly appeared at the end of the battle, Boss. They are very strong, nearly reaching the level of martial arts grandmaster. They left, taking Austin Cole away after inflicting heavy damage on several experts from the military. They retreated toward Kangsha Pharmaceuticals’ direction.”

“What has Mouse found on them?” Asked Tang Xiu with a deep frown.

“Mouse already sent his men to investigate, but the other party retreated so fast that he has yet to obtain any result,” said Mo Awu. “However, those two men in full body armor left some traces outside the wall of Kangsha Pharmaceuticals.”

Tang Xiu took a deep breath and said, “I’ll be there immediately. Do not act rashly until I arrive.”

After hanging up, Tang Xiu got up and picked up his coat. He then looked at Xue Yu, who looked to be wanting to speak but hesitated, and spoke to her, “There really is something I need to deal with tonight. I’ll come here to get you tomorrow after I’m done dealing with the matter over there.”

“Please be careful, and do pay attention to your safety,” said Xue Yu quickly.

“OK.” Tang Xiu replied and left as fast as possible. It was already late at night when he arrived at Kangsha Pharmaceuticals. Though he had already predicted that the place would not be quiet, he still frowned upon seeing a lot of policemen and a SWAT squad had blocked all the surrounding areas.

“Boss!”

In a dark street corner, Mouse furtively appeared and shouted with a controlled voice when he saw Tang Xiu, and then brought him to Mo Awu’s team.

“You’re finally here, Boss.”

“How is the situation currently?” Asked Tang Xiu. “Have you found out the background of the two men who appeared in the end?”

“I’m not 100% sure.” Mouse hesitant before answering, “But according to the traces left by them when leaving and from what I’ve seen and heard all these years, they should be Xie Zhiqiang’s men. They should have retreated to Kangsha Pharmaceuticals after rescuing Austin Cole.”

Tang Xiu pondered for a while before he looked at Mouse and asked, “So, based on your experience, when will the cops cease blockading the scene of the fight?”

“Most of them should be leaving in two hours,” said Mouse. “However, some people will still remain there to monitor the scene.”

A cold light flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes as he said in a deep tone, “Mouse, tell your men to fully retreat. Awu, we’ll wait here until 3 AM. You and I will rush through and enter Kangsha Pharmaceuticals.”
