Xue Meiqin and the others were still tending to the island nation's people on the ground when Luan Jiping's men stormed into Xinglin Caotang, securing all exits.
The Ji family members were all taken away by Luan Jiping's subordinates. The island nation's people, after being given medicine and bandaged, were sent to the hospital.
Upon receiving the news of 10.05 billion yuan successfully transferred, Long Xiao smiled and said to Iroko Myoji, "Mr. Iroko, you've repeatedly targeted me. How do you suggest I deal with you?"
Iroko Myoji, terrified, got up to flee. Long Xiao added, "Do you really believe you can escape faster than a mung bean I flick?"
Iroko Myoji was completely desperate. He said, trembling, "Mr. Long, don't kill me. Whatever you want, I'll do as you say."
Long Xiao burst into laughter, patted Iroko Myoji's shoulder, and said, "Just kidding. The transaction is complete. Iroko Goro is in room 805 on the eighth floor of the Donghai Hotel. I've already given him the 'Longevity Pill.' You can return home anytime."
Iroko Myoji's mouth hung open in surprise as he looked at Long Xiao, unable to process it. He never expected Long Xiao to be so magnanimous. If he were in this situation, he would have eliminated his opponents completely.
Long Xiao nudged Iroko Myoji. "Mr. Iroko, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
Seeing that Long Xiao didn't seem to be lying, Iroko Myoji let out a sigh of relief. "No, Mr. Long. I still need to take them to the hospital."
Luan Jiping arranged for people to help Iroko Myoji send his men to the hospital. The remaining individuals began cleaning the courtyard.
The sky completely darkened, and the courtyard was thoroughly cleaned. Luan Jiping reserved several private rooms at the Xuan Yue Restaurant.
During dinner, Luan Jiping expressed her dissatisfaction, "Brother, why did you let Iroko Myoji go? After today's events, even if you killed him, Iroko Pharmaceuticals wouldn't dare to cause trouble."
Long Xiao smiled and whispered, "Not only did I let him go, but I also sold him a 'Longevity Pill'."
"You have 'Longevity Pills,' and you sold one to an island nation's person? Their pharmaceutical technology is very advanced. If they get the 'Longevity Pill,' they'll surely analyze it and replicate it."
"Replicate it? Impossible. The manufacturing technology for the 'Longevity Pill' is far beyond current scientific means. Even if I gave them the formula, they couldn't produce it."
"Brother, what was your purpose in selling him the 'Longevity Pill'?" Luan Jiping asked, puzzled.
"I poisoned the 'Longevity Pill.' Sister, think about it. If they get the 'Longevity Pill,' can't replicate it, and dare not consume it, what will they think? What will they do?"
Luan Jiping pondered for a moment. "Of course, they won't give up. Especially Iroko Noda, he's over eighty. Seeing that he can't eat the 'Longevity Pill' will drive him mad."
Long Xiao nodded. "Exactly. That's the effect I want. You can't treat island nation's people like humans; you have to train them like animals."
"Brother, island nation's people are insidious and cunning. Be careful when you interact with them."
Long Xiao nodded. "Don't worry, sister. I won't show much mercy to them."
Iroko Myoji was overjoyed after successfully leaving Xinglin Caotang. He never expected Long Xiao to be foolish enough to let him go and even give the 'Longevity Pill' to Iroko Goro.
Now, although he only had two usable men left, he could still get people from the Ji family. With Iroko Goro lacking any assistance, obtaining the 'Longevity Pill' would be easy.
Accompanied by two subordinates, Iroko Myoji went directly to the Donghai Hotel. On the way, Iroko Myoji had called Ji Tianyi, asking him to send a few people to help.
After waiting at the entrance of the Donghai Hotel for a while, the people sent by Ji Tianyi arrived. Iroko Myoji then led them upstairs.
Iroko Goro had been anxiously waiting for news from Long Xiao. He was pacing back and forth in his room when there was a knock on the door.
Iroko Goro initially thought it was someone sent by Long Xiao. When he opened the door, he saw Iroko Myoji.
"Why is it you?" Iroko Goro asked, surprised, looking at Iroko Myoji.
Iroko Myoji's smile was brilliant, as if he had encountered immense good fortune. "Unexpected, isn't it? Surprising, isn't it?"
"Who told you I was here?" Iroko Goro asked.
Iroko Myoji pushed past Iroko Goro, who was blocking the doorway, entered the room, and sat on the sofa. "Long Xiao told me. He also told me he gave you the 'Longevity Pill'."
Iroko Goro was not foolish. After hearing Iroko Myoji's words, he understood Long Xiao's true intention in poisoning the 'Longevity Pill'. Long Xiao wasn't guarding against him; he was guarding against Iroko Myoji.
"Myoji, what are you here for? Do you want the 'Longevity Pill' for your father?"
Iroko Myoji shook his head. "My father doesn't have the fortune to enjoy such a precious item as the 'Longevity Pill.' If I want the 'Longevity Pill,' it's to give to the Chairman."
"Myoji, I'm returning home soon. I will personally give the 'Longevity Pill' to my father."
Iroko Myoji burst into laughter. "Goro, don't trouble yourself with this. You can stay in China. Someone will deliver the 'Longevity Pill' to the Chairman."
With that, Iroko Myoji waved his hand, and his two subordinates lunged at Iroko Goro. The Ji family's bodyguards stepped forward, restrained him, and began a search.
Soon, the jade box containing the 'Longevity Pill' was found and handed to Iroko Myoji.
Iroko Myoji, a pharmaceutical expert with in-depth research in both Western and Chinese medicine, opened the jade box containing the 'Longevity Pill' and took a sniff. A unique herbal fragrance entered his nostrils, and he felt a surge of energy.
"It is indeed a good medicine. Excellent, excellent."
Watching Iroko Myoji praise the 'Longevity Pill,' Iroko Goro secretly harbored resentment. If Long Xiao hadn't been so clever, the credit he had earned would have been snatched away.
After putting away the 'Longevity Pill,' Iroko Myoji casually pocketed Iroko Goro's mobile phone from the coffee table. "Goro, the accommodation here isn't very good. Let me change your place."
"Myoji, you've already taken the 'Longevity Pill.' What else do you want?" Iroko Goro asked nervously.
Iroko Myoji stood up, patted Iroko Goro's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, my brother. I won't harm you. I'm just moving you to a better place, so you can stay in China a few more days and enjoy more Chinese cuisine."
"I'm not going anywhere. I want to go back home."
"Perhaps you have no say in that. Take him, let's go," Iroko Myoji said, waving his hand.
Iroko Goro was taken back to the Ji residence and confined in a small room in the backyard. The promised Chinese cuisine never materialized, and the accommodation conditions were very poor.
Shortly after Iroko Goro was taken away and confined at the Ji residence, Ji Tianyi received a call from Luan Jiping.
"Ji Tianyi, your brother and nephew led people to storm Xinglin Caotang and attempted to kill my brother. How do you intend to deal with them?" Luan Jiping asked.
Ji Tianyi already knew his brother had been captured and that Luan Jiping had taken them away. He was already worried about this matter.
"Sister Luan, could there be some misunderstanding in this matter?"
Although Ji Tianyi was much older than Luan Jiping, he understood the unwritten rules of the underworld.
"There are no misunderstandings here. I promised my brother that I would give him a reasonable explanation."
"Sister Luan, I've reserved a room at the Jinse Teahouse. Can we meet and discuss it?"
"Alright. I'll await your news. Don't keep me waiting too long. I won't be providing food here, and your brother and nephew will go hungry."
