The woman approached and looked at the products on the table, asking, "Do these products have proper permits?"
Director Huang hurriedly asked his staff to bring out the relevant documents for the woman to inspect.
The woman, in a crisp uniform, had a stern gaze and a long, freckled face that drooped.
After reviewing the documents, she let out a cold snort and said, "The permits are incomplete. This medicine cannot be sold."
Director Huang asked, "Incomplete permits? What else do I need?"
The woman glared and retorted, "If I say they're incomplete, they're incomplete."
"Director Qian, you need to be reasonable. These permits were all issued by your Medical Administration. They were complete before, so why aren't they now?"
Director Huang's dissatisfaction further angered Qian Xiaoru. She glared and declared, "You dare to say I'm unreasonable? Guards, seize all the drugs and take them away!"
Long Xiao had been observing from the side. Seeing Qian Xiaoru preparing to confiscate all the products, he gestured to Black Dog.
Black Dog immediately led his men to block the long table. He swaggered up to Qian Xiaoru and asked, "Director Qian, are you determined to cause trouble?"
Qian Xiaoru saw a hoodlum blocking her path. She waved her hand and said, "Get lost, or I'll call the police."
"Call the police, go ahead."
"I am from the Medical Administration. By obstructing me, you are hindering law enforcement. Obstructing law enforcement and instigating trouble is a crime," Qian Xiaoru added.
Black Dog chuckled, "Am I obstructing you? Am I hindering law enforcement? Tell me, which law are you enforcing?"
Director Huang had produced all the proper documentation, and Qian Xiaoru couldn't find any fault with it.
Seeing Qian Xiaoru speechless, Long Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Director Qian, does your superior know you're here causing trouble?"
"Who are you?" Qian Xiaoru glared at Long Xiao and asked.
Long Xiao pointed to the products on the table and said, "I'm here to collect products for free. Are you obstructing people from collecting the products because this product is too effective, and you want to monopolize it?"
As he was speaking, two people emerged from the queuing crowd and approached Qian Xiaoru.
"Qian Xiaoru, what exactly do you want?"
Upon seeing them, Qian Xiaoru instinctively took a step back and said, "Sister-in-law, it's nothing. Someone reported illegal drug sales here, and we came to investigate."
"Are these drugs fake, or do they not meet some regulation?" Xue Kexin asked.
Xue Kexin was also from the Medical Administration, and the compliance of these drugs was not lost on her.
"No, no, they comply with regulations."
Qian Xiaoru retreated a couple of steps and called her subordinates, preparing to leave.
Long Xiao stepped forward to stop her. "Director Qian, this new medicine can improve your skin. Just one course of treatment can completely remove the freckles on your face."
Qian Xiaoru had been plagued by freckles since childhood. She had tried countless medicines and consulted numerous doctors without success, resorting to cosmetics to cover them up.
"Really?"
"Of course. Tell me who sent you, and I'll give you a course of medicine."
Qian Xiaoru hesitated for a long time before saying, "Jin Shaohuai sent me. I'm his cousin."
Jin Shaohuai again. This guy was truly persistent. Long Xiao decided to teach him a lesson this time, to prevent him from causing further trouble.
Long Xiao nodded to Director Huang, who hurried to the long table, took a set of products, and handed it to Qian Xiaoru.
Qian Xiaoru accepted it as if it were a treasure and left.
The two women were about to rejoin the queue for products when Director Huang quickly brought two sets to them.
"Thank you, both of you," Director Huang said to the women.
The two women looked at Long Xiao. Xue Kexin smiled and said, "You don't need to thank us. We will never forget Long Xiao's great kindness."
Long Xiao, seeing the two women mention him, quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation. He learned that Xue Kexin was Lu Tianzhi's wife.
Afterwards, the distribution of medicine proceeded smoothly. After the entire product launch event concluded, Long Xiao called Black Dog to his car. "Black Dog, isn't it time we collected our debts?"
"Brother Long, what debt are we collecting?" Black Dog asked curiously.
"The debt owed by Jin Shaohuai."
Black Dog had been present when Jin Shaohuai was forced to sign the IOU. Upon hearing about collecting Jin Shaohuai's debt, he immediately understood what needed to be done.
"Brother Long, I've kept all the IOUs. I'll collect this debt back for you, every last bit."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Go ahead. The Jin family has a few experts. Let Tianshui accompany you."
Long Xiao got out of the car. Luo Tianshui drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and they went directly to the Jin family's residence with Black Dog.
Jin Shaohuai, leaning on a cane, paced restlessly in the living room. He had recently discovered that Lin Xuan's pharmaceutical factory was about to launch a new drug. So, he had called his cousin and asked her to cause some trouble.
Long Xiao was becoming increasingly powerful, and Jin Shaohuai felt a sense of powerlessness in his presence. However, he was still unwilling to give up on Lin Xuan.
A commotion was heard outside. Jin Shaohuai hurried out of the living room. Seeing Black Dog leading over a dozen people storming into the villa, his heart sank. He knew trouble had arrived.
Jin Shaohuai was well aware of Black Dog's relationship with Long Xiao, as Black Dog was a subordinate of Tiger Brother from West City.
"Brother Black Dog, welcome. We didn't expect your visit," Jin Shaohuai said with a smile.
Black Dog stared coldly at Jin Shaohuai, pulled out an IOU, and said, "Young Master Jin, enough with the pleasantries. Isn't it time to pay what you owe?"
Upon seeing the IOU, Jin Shaohuai's face turned green. These IOUs were signed under duress from Long Xiao. If he were to repay the debts according to these IOUs, the entire Jin family would not be enough.
"Brother Black Dog, you know these IOUs. I was forced by Long Xiao to sign them. They shouldn't count."
"I only recognize the IOUs. I don't care how you signed them. Hurry up and pay, or we'll have to take action."
Although the Jin family was only a mid-tier family in Donghai, they had some influence. Upon hearing that someone had broken into the Jin family villa, the patriarch, Jin Tian, immediately rushed back with ten experts.
"If you take action, what can you do? This is my Jin family villa."
Jin Shaohuai knew that his father would return soon, so he wasn't afraid of Black Dog and his men.
Black Dog was merely a thug who knew some martial arts. The truly formidable individuals were his backer, Tiger Brother of West City, and the Red Sister behind Tiger Brother.
However, the Jin family's bodyguards alone could take down Black Dog and his henchmen.
"Men, beat them up! If we don't get the money today, we're not leaving!" Black Dog sat on the sofa, gestured to his subordinates, and began attacking Jin Shaohuai.
Luo Tianshui pulled up a chair and watched the show. Black Dog's men surrounded Jin Shaohuai and began to beat him. Several of the Jin family villa's bodyguards had been incapacitated when Black Dog's men first stormed in.
Jin Shaohuai's screams echoed, while Black Dog watched impassively, occasionally picking up a teacup from the coffee table and taking a sip.
Soon, Jin Shaohuai was beaten until his face was bleeding and he lay on the ground, howling incessantly.
Jin Tian returned to the villa with his men and found his son lying on the ground, screaming.
"Kill him!" Jin Tian said, trembling and pointing his right hand at Black Dog.
Two experts beside Jin Tian lunged at Black Dog. Black Dog threw the teacup he was holding and attacked the two Jin family experts with a move called "Vicious Dog Pounce."
Black Dog's dog-style boxing was very practical and he fought ruthlessly, biting and scratching, even resorting to throwing lime. The two experts, who were originally stronger than Black Dog, couldn't take him down in over ten moves.
"Useless! Send two more!" Jin Tian shouted in exasperation, waving his hand.
