Chu Hongye had been in the alchemy industry for many years. Although he relied on the power of the Chu family, he was not a mediocre person by any means. He could see the importance of a pill formula to an alchemy company.

The distant cities might not have felt it, but the alchemy companies in Calm Ocean City could feel a pack of wolves sweeping over them.

A company holding such a patent would rise in the next 20 years. With this kind of pill, it could become one of the top alchemy companies in the world. As for the Tengda Group, it would only be one of the top companies in Calm Ocean City. They were far from being the best in the world.

This was not an existence in terms of size. However, if they were able to snatch this formula, then the one who would rise to prominence would be the Tengda Group.

With a group such as the Tengda Group backing them, their position in the Chu family would be greatly enhanced.

However, the trouble was that Chu Yunfan had registered a patent for the formula. What a ludicrous method. No one from a large company would have chosen to do this.

Although registering a patent could effectively protect their interests, the interests that could have been gained for decades, or centuries, would now only last for a short period of twenty years. After that, the formula would be made public to society. Such loss of interest was simply unimaginable. As Chu Hongye thought about it, he felt his heart ache. It was so painful that his head hurt just thinking about it.

Chu Hongye had yet to obtain the formula, but he already treated it like his own. He did not think of it as someone else’s.

Chu Zhiguo did not quite understand. He said, “That little b*stard is tight-lipped. I’m afraid he won’t let go of it so easily. If he doesn’t let go, it’d be useless even if we obtained the formula. The patent is in that little b*stard’s name. He’s the one who registered for the patent. Even if we buy out his company, it’d be useless. It’d be just a broken shell. What’s important is the formula.”

“Hmph, we have no way to make that little b*stard loosen his tongue, but it doesn’t mean that no one can,” Chu Hongye said as she smiled coldly, “Both of us aren’t the only shareholders of Tengda. Aren’t there many people in the Chu family? In the past, they just sat and enjoyed their share. Now, it’s time for them to contribute. I don’t believe that he’ll be able to keep his mouth shut forever.”

“But Dad, what should we do if he doesn’t give in?” Chu Zhiguo asked.

“We’ll see about that. If he gives in, the benefits will be ours. If he doesn’t, he’ll lose the Chu family’s protection. When that happens, we can deal with him however we want? We just have to say the word. He’s only an Energy Refinement Stage kid. Even if he’s a Federation University student, he’s no different from an ordinary youth before he grows into a genius,” Chu Hongye said, “You have to understand that even if he is a genius with a world-shaking reputation, it’s useless if he doesn’t reach adulthood.”

“In other words, he’ll reach a dead-end either way. Dad, you’re amazing. Hahaha, this time, I will see to it that he dies! “Chu Zhiguo laughed loudly.

On the other side, Chu Yunfan was in his villa video-calling his family.

Chu Wenxuan and Yang Yayun were only concerned with whether Chu Yunfan had arrived safely. Seeing that he had, they were relieved.

On the contrary, Chu Qingxuan, who had arrived later, winked at Chu Yunfan.

“What? Use your words,” Chu Yunfan said with a straight face.

“Brother, it’s about that Tiny He that I live-streamed with. How about it?” Chu Qingxuan said with a strange expression.

“What do you mean ‘how about it?'” Chu Yunfan said.

“She really wants to be my sister-in-law. What do you think?” Chu Qingxuan said. “Although she’s a little flat, it shouldn’t matter. Modern technology is advanced. She can be salvaged.”

Chu Yunfan felt this forehead wrinkle. He said, “And why are you so free? Did you practice today?”

“Oh Brother, I’m just thinking about your marriage. You’re not young anymore. Tiny He is one of the most outstanding girls I know. You can’t be picky about looks. So, what do you think?” Chu Qingxuan said.

“Have I fallen to the point where you have to worry about me?” The little girl with the bangs and baby cheeks appeared in Chu Yunfan’s mind. He had not come into contact with many people, but he could tell that Tiny He was pretty.

“If you don’t want me to go back right now and teach you a lesson, you’d better run away now.”

Seeing that her brother was irritated, Chu Qingxuan stuck out her tongue and hung up the call. Since young, she had understood her brother’s personality. He was not easily angered. But once he pulled a long face, she had to be careful.

“That little brat,” Chu Yunfan said with a smile. He was actually smiling. He could feel Chu Qingxuan becoming more and more cheerful. She was actually in the mood to find a wife for her brother.

Before Chu Yunfan could settle down to rest, some others came knocking on his door. But when he saw them, Chu Yunfan knew that these fellows had not come with good intentions

There were a total of four visitors. One of them was Chu Zhiguo, who Chu Yunfan had severely injured. Chu Zhiguo should have just finished treating his injuries and come to visit. The other was Chu Zhiguo’s father, Chu Hongye.

Chu Yunfan recognized Chu Hongye. After all, when he had gone against Chu Zhiguo, he understood that he would have to deal with the whole of Tengda in the future. He had gotten to know of the situation surrounding Tengda.

But this father and son were standing behind two other people.

An old man who looked like he was in his eighties, dressed in an ancient Chinese robe, strode in with his head held high, looking like a superior. Beside him was a youth who looked about seventeen or eighteen. This youth was dressed in a gorgeous robe and looked like he was either rich or noble. He also strode into the villa with big strides.

The four of them walked in and sat down. Four pairs of eyes stared at Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan could instantly tell that they had not come bearing gifts.

“May I know why you gentlemen have come looking for me?”
