A strong smell of tar appeared, completely unlike the soap smell they were familiar with; instead, it smelled more like something burnt.

Many people around looked puzzled after smelling it.

This smelled completely different from what they were used to; it didn't smell like soap at all.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin hurriedly tried to win over the people around him.

"Everyone, be the judge, is this soap?"

"The ingredients we mixed turned into soap in his mouth?"

Are you questioning the Chinese Academy of Sciences' judgment? Can't they even recognize a bar of soap?

Xu Qingyi also took the bottle and smelled it, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

He glanced at Lin Yifeng, unsure of what to say for a moment.

This definitely doesn't smell like soap.

Lin Yifeng cannot deny this point; it is indeed not the soap scent that people commonly associate with soap, but this is only limited to the domestic market.

You should know that this stuff is sold out next door; it's one of the top brands of soap in the area, and it smells like tar.

Back when Lam Yat-fung was struggling financially abroad, this was the soap he used most often.

For Wang Hongcheng, who came from Northeast China, getting his hands on a bar of soap made in neighboring Russia shouldn't be too difficult.

Wang Hongcheng still dared not speak.

He's completely lost his composure now.

He simply couldn't understand why Lin Yifeng, a person from Zhongzhou, could recognize the soap from Da Mao next door, especially since the scent was extremely rare.

Let alone the Central Plains, even in the three northeastern provinces, probably very few people could smell it.

Wang Hongcheng broke out in a cold sweat but didn't bother to explain.

Lin Yifeng didn't give him any chance to catch his breath and immediately started yelling at Xu Qingyi beside him.

"Whether it's soap or not, you'll know after washing your hands!"

Guo Fengsheng and Xu Qingyi reacted very quickly, and the two immediately began to cooperate.

Xu Qingyi poured the soap into her hand, and Guo Fengsheng hurriedly unscrewed the water bottle and poured water into Xu Qingyi's hand.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Qingyi rubbed her hands for a short while, and foam had already formed in her palms.

Holy crap!

"Brother Feng!"

"This thing really is soap!"

"This is better than grinding soap into powder and pouring it in!"

The whole courtyard erupted in chaos.

Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan were dumbfounded.

Soap?

They never dreamed that Wang Hongcheng's leavening agent contained soap.

While everyone was still in a daze, Lin Yifeng had already started picking up the bottles one by one and examining them.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an emulsifier, right?"

"This bottle, which is dark purple, probably contains a powder like potassium permanganate."

"As for this green one..."

At that moment, Wang Qilin suddenly appeared from behind, snatched all the bottles and put them in his bag, not giving Lin Yifeng any chance to continue watching.

Lin Yifeng also backed down repeatedly in front of this crazy woman, spreading his hands in mockery.

"Be careful! Be careful!"

"These are all chemical reagents!"

"What if I get hurt?"

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Wang Hongcheng stood there without saying a word, and everyone's eyes were on him, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Sweat dripped from Wang Hongcheng's forehead, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

However, having been a conman for so many years, Wang Hongcheng was quite clever and immediately clapped his hands in praise of Lin Yifeng.

"Mr. Lin has excellent taste."

"To be able to recognize so many reagents."

"But you probably don't know the ingredients in these mixed products, do you?"

"Sigh, this is just a preliminary prototype, and there are still many things to be improved."

"Since Mr. Lin understands, I won't explain any further."

Although many people around him still had doubts, Wang Hongcheng's explanation moved many people.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Lee Seung-hyun quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Professor Wang is right. We don't know or understand this kind of thing."

"Mr. Lin, you're something else, you knew but didn't say anything."

"Let's leave it at that for today. At least it does turn into oil!"

Upon hearing this, those around him readily agreed.

Many county government officials also repeatedly urged that the matter should no longer be pursued.

Seeing that Wang Hongcheng's trick had been exposed, Lin Yifeng did not choose to linger any longer. Instead, he walked out while explaining to Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng beside him.

"Emulsifier, the kind used in home renovation."

"Potassium permanganate is hard to come by, but you can just buy a bottle of potassium permanganate disinfectant from a pharmacy."

"As for the last bottle?"

"It's just pure spinach water, it's completely useless."

These words were immediately remembered by Wu Kang, who was passing by.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Yifeng left the government compound in Gongcheng without any intention of turning back.

On the other side, Lee Seung-hyun also calmed down Wang Hong-sung and had his men send the two of them back first.

Wang Hongcheng smiled and complied on the surface, saying that he wasn't angry and didn't care.

But in reality, as soon as he stepped onto the stage, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his mind was in complete chaos, not knowing what to do.

After seeing off the people from both sides, Lee Seung-hyun looked at the messy courtyard and was still feeling dizzy.

He thought today was the first step towards reconciliation between the two sides, but Lin Yifeng kept saying this and that, making the situation so tense.

Things took an unexpected turn that completely exceeded his expectations.
