Everyone couldn’t help but want to follow those two, but Zhuang Yu stood up at the right time, and while the live broadcast was not yet closed, she raised her voice and said, “Everyone has seen that Stone Grass medicine will not induce spiritual riot. On the contrary, it will help to soothe and stabilize any spiritual power disturbance. During this event, the Chu family will distribute this medicine for free, one for each person, and everyone is welcome. Of course, you are not welcome if you come here to make trouble.” 

As soon as her announcement fell, the holographic screen over the sky disappeared, and the live broadcast in the square was over. Zhuang Yu was satisfied with the advertisement and waved her hands at everyone, letting the staff handle the middle-aged man. 

The exhibition area was quickly restored to the previous appearance by the staff. After that, the police force arrived and was invited by the supervisor to talk to the backstage area for details. In the exhibition area, there were only the people who watched the lively people. They all came to the same conclusion as they raced towards the medicine shelves: this medicine has a soothing effect on spiritual instability and riot. The effectiveness is high! This is simply a helping hand to those who were preparing to advance their spiritual power! 

The screens in the first and second floor of the plaza were all changed back to the previous celebrations. Everyone else also understood — after a few seconds of digesting new information, they were all heading towards the Chu family’s exhibition area – a medicine that can calm down a burgeoning spiritual riot? And it’s free? You would be an idiot to not pick it up! 

The situation of the people rushing to the Ning family’s exhibition area turned into a situation where everyone went to the Chu family’s exhibition area together. And because of the (generously limited) freebie, the current popularity of the Chu family’s exhibition area was far better than the Ning family. 

With goodies for all, the third floor of the plaza is finally getting a little festive.

In the Ning family exhibition area, Ning Tianya had no time to take care of this situation by himself. He did not expect that Qiao Zhiya could find the induction device buried in the pawn’s body and dug it out in public. Now Chu’s family wants to report to the police, so the situation will grow unpredictably. After finishing his current work, he must arrange his plans well. 

Around the corner, Ning Kongranwithdrew his line of sight, the corner of his mouth coldly hooked, and he turned to leave.

In the backstage lounge area, Chu Rong grabbed Qiao Zhiya’s hands and washed them again and again, his face getting even darker. He still aptly remembered that Qiao Zhiya just touched another man’s butt… he must wash it again! Wash it well!! 

Qiao Zhiya took a careful look at him, tried to pull his hand, but it did not budge. He blushed and asked, “Are you jealous? Because I touched–”

“I dare you to say that word.” Chu Rong coldly interrupted him.

Qiao Zhiya shut up, tried to stop a grin from forming. He leaned over, putting his head on the crook of Chu Rong’s neck, then nuzzled him. He awkwardly tries to appease the older man. “It’s nothing. I don’t even remember the sensation of touching it.” 

“Do you still want to remember?” Chu Rong’s face turned darker, and even his spiritual power buzzed dangerously.

“……”

Qiao Zhiya decided not to speak, just hugged him obediently and continued to act flatteringly. 

Chu Rong also knows that he was being unreasonable but… but… how can this situation not anger him! 

He stretched out his arms and held his obedient fiance in his arms, looking sideways in the direction of the Ning family exhibition area, with a murderous look – there’s no way in hell he will let those crooks get away unscathed! 

On the first day of the festival, two big news bursted out: first, the Ning family researched a spiritual power booster; second, the Chu family launched a spiritual riot soothing agent.

Both are good things that benefit the country and the people. The people were ecstatic! 

Soon after, they learned another thing. The Chu family’s new medicine had been maliciously slandered by an unknown person on the day of launch, almost causing it to be unsellable. Fortunately, Marshal Chu and his fiance Qiao Zhiya were present at the time to clarify the matter. They even rescued the troublemaker. 

Immediately after that, live broadcast monitoring images came out at the time, and the people began a lively discussion on this matter.

Because the target was the Chu family, they immediately zeroed in on the Xiang family – after all, those two families have been at odds since forever. Was this matter caused by the Xiang family? 

The innocent Xiang family, of course, was angry by this baseless accusation, but they understood where it came from. Thankfully, the Chu family was very powerful, and they cooperated with the police to quickly announce the results of the investigation: The middle-aged man has recovered and pleaded guilty, confessing that he was bought by a pharmaceutical company to deliberately cause trouble. At the same time, he said that he did not know when the induction device was installed in the body, and the police are investigating the origin of the induction device.

The result became a bit muddied, but the point was clear: the guilty party is a pharmaceutical company. 

The Xiang family made mecha, and that is clearly reflected in their exhibition area. There were no medicines or wellness items. They only gave the public some flowers and medicinal herbs. So their suspicions were quickly washed away. 

So after a discussion, the people moved their eyes to the Ning family, and conspiracy theories slowly floated out — the two launched a new medicine on the same day, and the Ning family had no trouble, while the Chu family clearly had some. Could it be that the Ning family secretly did it to block the Chu family? 

The crowd seemed to have caught the little tail of the big family fight, dug up along this line, and then the situation started to spiral out of control. They even managed to dig up some other shady things the Ning family had done in the past. 

For example, some of the spiritual soothing agents currently circulating in the market actually had low production costs, but due to the Ning family’s control of the patents, they were priced high. Additionally, although the Ning family appears to be the most low-key and amiable, behind the scenes, they were aggressively suppressing their competitors. For many years, no other pharmaceutical family has dared to establish itself, fearing the influence of the Ning family. 

They also still remembered the capture and research operation against special-type spiritual power users years ago – it was also initiated by the Ning family. Finally, the most crucial and concerning point for the public was that the theme proposed by the Ning family this year for the festival is not aimed at regulating and reducing drug prices. Instead, it was an attempt to raise drug prices once again, and the introduction of spiritual power-boosting agents was just the beginning.

Their strategy to market this new drug was to limit stocks and pre-order. It’s clear they wanted to drive price speculation. 

The conspiracy got thicker. More truths were dug up, and the public’s goodwill towards the Ning family was dwindling at an alarming pace. As the festival continued, there were still many people lining up for drugs in the Ning family exhibition area, but fewer people actually pre-ordered it. Although everyone wanted to improve their spiritual strength, they did not want to be used as a tool to drive up the prices. 

And this time, the drug to boost spiritual power was really too expensive. They’d rather cultivate by themselves using conventional means.

Chu Yan, who was blocked by the elevator that day and couldn’t look at the commotion with his own eyes, focused on the current gossip with interest. He then reported to Qiao Zhiya without fail throughout the day, telling him the latest developments of the gossip as well as what scandals had been unearthed in the Ning family.

Qiao Zhiya also paid great attention to this incident. Chu Rong’s investigation of Ning family’s new drug has not been smooth, and he has always felt uneasy.

The thing is, even though there’s people everyday who drank the Ning family’s new drug, and there’s gossip of the supposed amazing effect, Chu Rong couldn’t actually find the real person who consumed it. It’s as if they were all disappearing into thin air after getting the drug. 

Chu Rong also tried to get his people to line up, but no matter how early – even queuing up all night – the Ning family has a way to say that today’s quota was gone. Later, Chu Rong also tried to get people to get the medicine from the Ning family, but the Ning family was very careful this time. They were all very closed-up, so nobody else could get it. 

In short, the investigation made no progress and the situation stagnated for a while.
