Sell Your Soul
At this time, the sound of rapid brakes came from outside the gate, and then the sound of high heels hitting the ground could be heard.
Accompanied by a special fragrance, Shu Wan rushed into the yard.
"Shu Wan, you're here!" Qiangwei immediately went out to welcome her and said carefully.
"Where is he?" Shu Wan raised her eyebrows, and her pretty face was full of deep worry. Her voice was a little hoarse.
Xiao Yi hurriedly went out and found that Shu Wan's white shoulders were exposed to the cold air. She didn't even have time to put on a shawl before she came over wearing a moon-white evening gown.
"How are you?" When Shu Wan saw Xiao Yi, she breathed a sigh of relief and strode over.
"I'm fine. Why are you wearing so little?" Xiao Yi immediately took off his coat and carefully put it on Shu Wan's shoulder.
After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Shu Wan felt cold. Her thin body couldn't help shivering.
Xiao Yi immediately held her in his arms, held her ice-cold soft hand, and quietly passed a trace of pure Yang True Energy to her. Shu Wan finally recovered a little bit. Xiao Yi whispered to Shu Wan about what had happened tonight. The two lowered their heads and talked as if there was no one else.
On the side, when Qiangwei saw this scene, her face couldn't help but become lonely.
"Alas, if he were to show me one-tenth of kindness he shows to Shu Wan, I would die in peace." Qiangwei's heart was filled with boundless sadness. She looked at the two people in a daze, and her eyes turned a little red for no reason.
At this moment, the effect of the Origin Dew had been fully exerted. Qi Siyuan made a weak sigh and struggled to sit up.
When the three of them heard the noise, they immediately walked into the room.
"Mr. Xiao, I can't repay you for saving my life. I will never forget your great kindness." Qi Siyuan turned his thin face to Xiao Yi and said weakly.
"Mr. Qi, you're welcome." Xiao Yi waved his hand indifferently, but he also asked, "But, why are you poisoned by the vampire poison?"
Qi Siyuan listened to Xiao Yi ask such a question. He leaned against the bed with a sad look on his face. After a long time, he said, "Mr. Xiao, you are really prophetic. My problem does have something to do with Luofeier Group."
"What? Uncle, do you already know what's wrong with you?" Qi Mingbo, who was beside him, was suddenly shocked when he heard Qi Siyuan's words.
Qi Siyuan took a deep look at Qi Mingbo, then slowly closed his eyes and nodded. His expression was unusually complicated. "Yes, Mingbo. I already know, or should I say, as early as 30 years ago, I already knew that there would be such a day."
"What's going on, uncle?" Qi Mingbo was completely confused.
"Alas!" Qi Siyuan sighed deeply. After a long time, he slowly said, "Mr. Xiao, you may also know that my Qi family is a well-known family in Country M. The whole Qi Group has tens of billions of assets."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded his head.
Qi Siyuan continued, "The Qis mainly run the medical business. Everyone can only see our glory, but they don't know that from the beginning of the establishment of the Qi Group, it has been just a dependency."
"Dependency?"
"That's right. All of our industries are dependent on the Luofeier Group. We process various medical products for the Luofeier Group and survive by being attached to them. There are many companies like this in the world. It's just that our Qi Group is doing a rather outstanding business." Qi Siyuan's eyes narrowed slightly as if he had returned to the time when he was in charge of the plan, the ups and downs of the commercial war.
"But, all of this, it can be said that I sold my soul. What a shame to my ancestors." Qi Siyuan said.
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Yi and Qiangwei couldn't help asking at the same time.
Qi Siyuan did not answer the question but looked at Xiao Yi. He slowly said, "Mr. Xiao, in fact, I have long known that I was poisoned by the vampire poison. However, I have never revealed it to my family. My family took me everywhere and searched for doctors. I just cooperated with them. Of course, I knew that ordinary doctors couldn't cure me. I know this is retribution. It is what I deserve."
Xiao Yi didn't say anything. He just listened quietly and let Qi Siyuan go on.
"Mr. Xiao, Luofeier Group is a mad organization. They are devil-like people who can do anything for the sake of benefit. All conscience and human nature are useless in front of them. Unfortunately, they control the world, but many people are grateful to this organization." Qi Siyuan shook his head helplessly.
"I'd like to hear the details." Xiao Yi nodded and said.
"Mr. Xiao, do you know? In this world, the one who believes in the effect of traditional Chinese medicine the most is neither the people of Hua Country, nor those who tell the story of the rise and fall of traditional Chinese medicine, nor those who cry out loudly. It is the Luofeier Group!" Qi Siyuan was so excited that he raised his head slightly and said urgently.
"What? Why do you say that?" Qi Mingbo and Qiangwei asked almost at the same time.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this while Shu Wan's eyes lit up.
"Because, in the past hundred years, traditional Chinese medicine has developed to today's state. Luofeier Group is a major helper." Qi Siyuan said in a hoarse voice.
"How is this possible?" Qiangwei was the first to say in disbelief, "Luofeier Group mainly engages in medical and medicine business, but it's just an enterprise in Country M thousands of miles away. The decline of traditional Chinese medicine was caused by a historical reason. People's ideas changed, or it's the result of people's pursuit of more scientific treatment. Everyone in the world knows this truth."
"Ms. Qiangwei." Hearing Qiangwei's words, Qi Siyuan shook his head helplessly, furrowed his eyebrows, and slowly asked, "May I ask, what is science? A cold can be solved with a potion of soup, is it science? Or is it that you have experienced countless blood tests, and finally, you have taken antibiotics for seven days, and this is science?"
"Ah? But, but," Qiangwei was stunned when he asked this question. She said several times in a row, but she didn't know what she wanted to say.
"Ms. Qiangwei, the truth and honest effect of traditional Chinese medicine, was seen in Luofeier Group a hundred years ago. It's a big country with a vast territory and a large population. What a vast medical market it is! However, Luofeier Group had seen this wonderful market; it could be treated with three fingers of traditional Chinese medicine, a few silver needles, and a few packs of herbs. It's really annoying and urgent. However, in the end, they came up with a solution and squeezed into this market. I don't want to comment on the confusion of history, but as a subordinate of the Luofeier Group, I know clearly that their motive is execrable." Qi Siyuan's voice was low, but his face was full of excitement.
"Do you know how many new medicines have been developed by them? Within a few years, it was discovered that the medicines had endless side effects, and then, generation after generation, more expensive new medicines were developed. How many people, relying on the medicines of Luofeier Group, completely cured the disease? How many people don't take medicine for their whole lives and can't get rid of that expensive consumption for a lifetime? Do you know how much profit we make in medicine, or just our Qi Group? Let me tell you. 800%." Qi Siyuan's voice became loud.
"800% of the profits? Can the profits of an enterprise reach 800%?" Qiangwei covered her mouth in surprise.
"That's right. Haven't some people said that if there is a profit of 50%, people will take a risk; if there is a profit of 100%, people dare to step on all laws of the human world; if there is a profit of over 300%, people dare to commit any crime, even risk of being beheaded. If there is a profit of 800%, it is enough to let people sell their souls and betray their ancestors." Qi Siyuan suddenly couldn't help crying when he said this. His voice was full of tears and sorrow.
The other people in the room, however, did not stop him. They quietly waited for him to calm down.
"Mr. Xiao, what was Qi Group before? It was nothing. Luofeier Group gave me a chance to be famous all over the world, giving me a chance to get countless wealth and a chance to live in glory. I couldn't resist this temptation. I knew what they were doing. I knew they would harm people, but I still succumbed to them and signed a contract with them. They even injected a vampire curse in me. Once I betrayed them, the curse broke out. If I dared to leak the inside information, my family would die without a burial place. That's why I didn't let my family know why I got the disease." Qi Siyuan sighed deeply.
Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice, "What's that then? What about the one who made you decide to betray the Luofeier Group?"
"That's because recently, they developed a new medicine. It's for the market of Hua Country. I've been working on medicine for a lifetime. I know what kind of side effects that medicine has on the human body. It's more serious than the opium of the day. Over the years, I wasn't at ease every day. I thought it was because my father's bones didn't get buried not long ago that I felt uneasy. But with your help, I managed to find his remains, but I still couldn't sleep. I'm a Hua Country person. In the end, I turned the gun around and tried to poison the people of Hua Country. I was sinful. That's why I only have Mingbo by my side. This is retribution. I feel guilty about my ancestors! I don't want to continue. At the very least, I won't let the evil medicine flow to the Hua Country's market." Qi Siyuan held Qi Mingbo's hand and wept bitterly again.
