Chapter 558 If you're going to hammer, you're going to hammer.
Later, Wen Luoyun signed several large contracts in one go, equivalent to two quarters of revenue for the Wen family's pharmaceutical business.
She was showing off her achievement at the time, unaware that she was actually jumping into a fire pit that the other party had dug for her!
Wen Zhengning was more capable than Wen Luoyun. Even so, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he said coldly, "It's just a few orders. If we really can't deliver the goods, the Wen family can just compensate us. With so many years of accumulation, do you think the Wen family can't afford to compensate us?"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "I know my uncle is rich. Of course you can afford the temporary penalty for breach of contract, but how will you win back the lost customers?"
"What do you mean?" Wen Zhengning's expression grew even colder.
"If the pharmacies of this medicine line had never sold this Intestinal Cleansing Pill, that would have been fine. But it's a pity that you not only sold it, but also made it your trademark. Once customers can no longer buy Intestinal Cleansing Pill from you, where will they buy it?"
"Don't worry, as long as these customers come to my clinic, I have plenty of ways to keep them here and make them my real clients."
Having navigated the business world for many years, Wen Zhengning naturally understood the logic Kong Wange was using. He saw it as a vicious tactic of slowly boiling a frog in water.
He exuded a gloomy aura as he looked at Kong Wange: "Wange, what exactly do you want?"
As the surroundings fell silent, Kong Wange curled her lips in a mocking smile: "Don't you know what I want? Everything I've done is to seek justice for my mother who died unjustly!"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Wen Zirou felt a chill run down her spine and was the first to speak up: "Kong Wange, what do you mean by that? What justice is there for Wen Zhiyi? She died in childbirth, and she's been dead for so many years. Why are you bringing her up on an occasion like today?"
Kong Wange calmly looked at Wen Zirou, the smile on her lips still present, but her eyes revealed a chill: "My mother was once the rightful heir to the Wen family, so why can't we mention her? On the contrary, Aunt, you get so agitated when you mention my mother. Could it be that you are guilty and dare not let me mention her?"
Wen Zirou was hit where it hurt, and immediately jumped up and pointed at Kong Wange: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do I have to be afraid to mention?!"
Kong Wange scoffed: "My aunt dared to poison and kill people back then, and luckily she hasn't been exposed yet, so naturally there's nothing she wouldn't dare to do."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Wen Zirou poisoned someone to death?
Could the victim be... Wen Zhiyi?!
A chill ran through everyone in an instant.
Kong Wange's next words immediately confirmed everyone's guess: "Everyone, I'm here today, pressing the Wen family's medicine lineage step by step. You may think I'm just trying to get back some revenge for the suppression of the acupuncture lineage over the years, but that's not the case."
She looked at Wen Zirou and Wen Zhengning, her eyes like cold daggers, shooting towards them: "Everything I've done today is because my mother died a violent death from the poison of the Intestine-Severing Grass, and the one who poisoned her is none other than the second aunt of the Wen family, Wen Zirou, who is standing right here and has survived to this day!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Qi Shu was the first to exclaim in horror: "Heartbreak Grass, that's an incurable poison! Didn't Zhiyi die in childbirth? How could she have been killed by Wen Zirou with Heartbreak Grass?!"
The old man next to him, who had been practicing acupuncture for over a decade, also said coldly, "I always felt that there was something fishy about Zhiyi's death back then. Her medical skills were so superb, how could she have died from a difficult childbirth? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"I said back then that Wen Zirou and Wen Zhengning got to where they are today by stepping on Zhiyi's corpse. They gained so many benefits, it would be strange to say that Zhiyi's death had nothing to do with them. Now that Xiaoge'er has said this, I believe it!"
"Wen Zirou, you are heartless and vicious!"
The people on the acupuncture side were buzzing with discussion, and the people on the medicine side couldn't sit still any longer.
Uncle De spoke coldly: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Kong Wange said Second Aunt poisoned someone? She saw it with her own eyes?"
"That's right, you're just spouting nonsense and slandering innocent people!"
"Kong Wange, you're spouting nonsense and insulting my reputation! I'll teach you a lesson today on behalf of the Wen family's ancestors!" Wen Zirou got anxious when she heard the crowd's discussion. She shouted at the top of her lungs and rushed forward to slap Kong Wange, but was stopped by Wen Zhengning.
Wen Zhengning's expression was gloomy as he looked at Kong Wange and said coldly, "Wange, you've heard what everyone is saying. You keep saying that Zirou killed your mother, but do you have any evidence?"
Kong Wange paused, her eyes unconsciously glancing outside.
Wen Zhengning, assuming she had no evidence, sneered, "Without evidence, how dare you utter such treasonous remarks?"
"You want evidence, right? Here you go!" Suddenly, a male voice came from not far away.
Looking towards the source of the sound, everyone was stunned—Murong Ting had actually arrived!
He didn't come alone; he was accompanied by two other people.
Xiaoxue supported Tao Xiangjun, following closely behind him.
Wen Zirou froze the moment she saw Tao Xiangjun appear, then swayed and almost fell over.
Wen Luoyun quickly supported her: "Mom, are you alright?"
Wen Zirou seemed not to hear, her breathing rapid, muttering to herself, "So that's how it is...!"
Not long ago, Qianliu's assassination attempt on Tao Xiangjun failed, and she had been feeling uneasy ever since, with a vague feeling that something was about to happen. However, she was unable to find Tao Xiangjun's whereabouts no matter what she tried. It turned out that this person had been hidden by Murong Ting.
Given Murong Ting's status and power, it's impossible for her to find someone he wants to hide!
Seeing Wen Zirou's reaction, Wen Luoyun's pupils dilated, and she whispered in disbelief, "Mom... Wen Zhiyi can't really be you..."
Wen Zirou grabbed Wen Luoyun's hand and whispered, "Luoyun, what happened back then has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved later, understand?"
She wanted to ask more questions, but when she met Wen Zirou's gaze, she couldn't utter a single word.
Compared to murder, all the things she did before were just minor squabbles; she could tell the difference between what was important and what was urgent.
She gritted her teeth and after a long while whispered an "Mmm".
On the other side, Murong Ting had already brought Tao Xiangjun and Xiaoxue to the group and said calmly, "Mr. Tao, if Patriarch Wen wants evidence, then you should repeat everything you know and have experienced in front of everyone."
Tao Xiangjun looked up at Wen Zhengning, then at Wen Zirou.
Wen Zhengning's sinister gaze swept over him, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
Wen Zhengning's lips tightened into a thin line: "Old Tao, you're an elder of the Wen family. We treated you well when you were here. You'd better think carefully before you say anything."
This is an obvious threat.
If Wen Zhengning hadn't brought it up, things would have been fine. But once he did, Tao Xiangjun couldn't hold back anymore. He gritted his teeth and said, "I admit that you gave me money for surgery to cure my uremia back then, but that was only because you needed me to do things for you! Now that you don't need me anymore, you see me as a threat and treat me like trash, killing me whenever you want. It's one thing for you to harm me, but you shouldn't have harmed my daughter!"
Tao Xiangjun trembled all over and looked at the crowd, saying loudly, "Everyone, I'm here today to expose the true colors of Wen Zirou, the second aunt of the Wen family, in front of you all!"
