Things had gone terribly awry. A researcher from the Meng family had somehow developed the formula they had been working on, and they had successfully created the prototype drug.
Yang Ming had refused to believe it, but when he asked his people, they only reaffirmed the news. They said that the key processes were all done by the Meng family, and they had asked for nothing in return aside from the cancellation of the engagement.
Then his own researchers tried to persuade him to go along with it. "Young Master Yang, these conditions are very good. Their conditions won't do us any harm, and we are aware that you do not like Miss Meng, anyway. It is a win-win situation for everyone. Please don't let this opportunity go."
Yang Ming was far from content with this outcome, but he didn't really have a good reason to refuse the Meng family.
