Qing Yan turned the developed antidote into herbal pills and gave one to each of his seven subordinates.
After a while, they noticed a miraculous change.
"I no longer feel the burning sensation in my body, and the dizziness has lessened."
"My skin doesn't itch painfully anymore, and I don't have the urge to scratch..."
"I feel much more comfortable overall. It's amazing!"
They all looked at Qing Yan simultaneously, as if they were gazing at an extraordinary healer, filled with admiration and gratitude in their eyes.
Qing Yan tossed a small bottle of pills to them and said, "Take one pill each for the next four days. The ulcerated skin will scab and fall off, and new skin will grow."
"So, we won't die?" The seven subordinates cried tears of joy, ready to kneel down and thank Qing Yan.
Qing Yan raised his hand to stop them. "Rest well. Your greatest gratitude to me is to recover and continue serving the gang."
She threw another bottle of pills to Doctor Chen and instructed in a calm voice, "Make sure others take these."
With the antibodies, even if they come into contact with X3, they won't get infected...
Doctor Chen couldn't believe that the boss could develop the antidote in such a short time. While shocked, he also felt deep admiration.
"Boss, if you stay in the Triangle District and develop further, the position of the hegemon will eventually belong to our Yan Gang."
Qing Yan was about to say that it wasn't her goal, but Dahei came to report, "Boss, there's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Qing Yan raised her gaze and without hesitation said, "Good news."
"In one hour, there will be a South City auction, and Tiangui Ginseng will be the finale!"
"And the bad news?"
"It is said that there is only one plant... and C Gang also wants it."
C Gang was the hegemon of the Triangle District. Other gangs and forces were more or less afraid of their reputation...
Even the recently rising Wolf Gang wouldn't dare provoke them easily.
It was rumored that the mastermind behind C Gang was a powerful figure that both the black and white sides couldn't afford to offend!
They had an unimaginable amount of money and a complex network of influence behind them.
"Boss, there's an even bigger piece of bad news!"
Dahei swallowed his saliva and noticed that Qing Yan's expression had turned grim.
"Speak." As expected, Qing Yan's tone had turned considerably colder.
"In a previous South City auction, there was once a Tiangui Ginseng that sold for three billion..."
Qing Yan: ????
How much????
Three billion????
Stealing money????
Da Hei noticed that Boss's expression had become even worse than before. He braced himself and added, "It's 3 billion RMB... I didn't inquire wrongly! It's said that this auction requires proof of funds, and those with less than 100 million on their cards won't even qualify to enter..."
At this point, he scratched his head and asked sheepishly, "Boss, do you still have money?"
All the pocket money her parents gave her, as well as what she earned herself, had been invested in Lin Shu's drug research...
Now, she only had the card her big brother gave her, with only 2 billion left, which was clearly not enough.
"It's said that the C Gang is determined to win this time. They have plenty of money. They could afford not just 3 billion, but even 30 billion..."
Once the competition starts, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
When Da Hei mentioned this, he realized that Boss's expression could no longer be described as just "ugly." He swallowed and advised, "Boss, the Si family didn't give us a reward either. That Madam Si, I don't think it's necessary to save her..."
The last sentence seemed to have touched on a sensitive topic for Qing Yan. She raised a cold eyebrow, her gaze carrying a warning.
"What I mean is, this C Gang must obtain the Tian Gui Ginseng. The final transaction price might exceed 3 billion... Just think about it, with 3 billion RMB, you can buy so many things! Let's take the villas in the city center of Beijing, for example. With 3 billion, you can buy thirty of them!"
Why bother saving an old lady?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in thirty villas and switch them every day?
"I... I mean, Boss, there are certain things we should consider within our capabilities..."
Even if we spend those 3 billion on indulgence, it's still better than saving an unrelated old lady!!
"Make arrangements." Qing Yan seemed to have made up her mind. "We'll go to the auction later, remember to bring weapons."
"Boss, are you planning to rob them??" Da Hei couldn't help but admire Boss's courage. "This auction in the southern part of the city is organized by the Wolf Gang. If we start robbing, how many of our brothers will have to die?!"
"You, come with me."
"Ah? Me? Just the two of us??" Da Hei couldn't believe what he was hearing. Boss had the skills to escape safely, but him... he would at least lose some skin, right?
Truly loyal to the Boss!
Whenever there's an adventurous task, he's the first one to come to mind!
And when it's time to distribute salaries, he's always the first to be overlooked!
Seeing Da Hei's cowardly and timid appearance, Qing Yan couldn't help but curl her lips. "Who said I'm going to rob?"
"If you're not robbing, can you still run up a tab??" Da Hei couldn't understand.
"I have my own way."
Seeing Qing Yan full of confidence, Da Hei really didn't want to dampen her spirits, but he had to be honest, "Oh, by the way, Boss, I forgot to tell you one thing..."
Qing Yan knew that nothing good would come out of his mouth, and his expression turned cold. "Speak quickly while I haven't taken out my knife."
"This Tian Gui ginseng belongs to the Wolf Gang... Today's auction is also organized by them, and the auction site in the south of the city is their territory... We just bombed half of their base today. Even if we have the money, they might not sell it to us. If we go now, it's like walking into a tiger's den..."
It would be strange if the Wolf Gang didn't beat them up when they saw them!
Qing Yan's eyes grew colder. Now they're saying this?
"Boss, it seems we're destined to have no chance with the Tian Gui ginseng..." Should we give up?
He didn't dare say the last sentence, fearing that the boss would chop off his head.
Qing Yan glanced at the time. "Prepare the car. We're going to the auction."
"What??"
Things have come to this point, and the boss still dares to go??
The boss really isn't afraid of death...
But he is afraid!!!
On the other side,
Qingmu received the message and immediately reported it to Si Yechen.
"Lord Chen, in 40 minutes, there will be Tian Gui ginseng at the auction in the south of the city... However, they will verify the funds at the entrance."
"Let them verify." Si Yechen seemed indifferent, as if he didn't care about that small amount of money.
Qingmu continued reporting, "The organizer this time is the Wolf Gang. They have always wanted to establish a good relationship with us. It's highly likely that the Tian Gui ginseng will end up in our hands at the auction. The only issue is the price. It was reportedly sold for three billion before..."
Indeed, it's outrageously expensive!!
No matter how good the medicine is, it wouldn't normally exceed three to five hundred million.
"Establish a good relationship?" Si Yechen's voice was extremely cold. "Are they worthy?"
He knew that the Wolf Gang was the gang causing trouble in the Triangle District recently. He, Si Yechen, disdained associating with such small gangs. If money doesn't work, he would resolve it directly with force.
Establish a good relationship? Impossible!
