Chapter 350: Chapter 349 The Koreans Breached the Contract
When morning light penetrated the room through the gaps in the curtains, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang opened their eyes and simultaneously ceased their cultivation.
Qin Yanyang looked at Yang Fei with curiosity and said, "Your state has been improving over these past few days of cultivation. Are you about to break through?"
Yang Fei shook his head, smiling, "It’s not a breakthrough. I am close to recovering to my peak."
Qin Yanyang had always been skeptical about Yang Fei’s claims of being in a wounded state, but upon careful reflection, it seemed Yang Fei indeed showed no signs of a breakthrough. His strength was advancing progressively at a rapid pace.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "So, how much have you recovered now?"
"Ninety percent, maybe even a little more. I’m not far from a full recovery," Yang Fei said joyfully.
He didn’t hide this matter from Qin Yanyang, happy to share it with her.
It was precisely because of their daily dual cultivation that the problems within his body received the best comfort and treatment.
Especially during the previous period in Imperial City, when the two of them were in closed-door cultivation for half a month at Qin Huai’an’s quadrangle dwelling, Qin Yanyang had made a breakthrough to the Innate Realm, and he had also received tremendous benefits, with his combat power recovering from just over sixty percent to over eighty percent.
After returning to Binhai in the past few days, although they hadn’t been glued to each other during the day, they had made full use of their nights. As a result, Yang Fei’s injuries healed even faster, with his current combat power recovering to ninety percent of its peak condition, perhaps even a bit more.
Of course, Qin Yanyang’s Innate Realm had also become absolutely stable, and the True Yuan inside her body continued to increase, making her strength grow stronger.
The benefits brought by their joint cultivation ensured that both of them relished the experience, making them even more diligent in their cultivation than before.
"If we were to truly engage in dual cultivation, perhaps I would have already returned to my peak combat power, and your strength would have increased even faster," Yang Fei said, eyeing Qin Yanyang’s curvaceous figure. Days without seeing Tong Yunshu made it harder for him to contain his burgeoning desires.
Qin Yanyang’s face turned red, and she immediately straightened her clothes, avoiding Yang Fei’s heated gaze. She stood up and said, "Get up and wash, we need to go to work."
Yang Fei sighed with resignation.
In the past few days, he kept talking to Qin Yanyang about the benefits of true dual cultivation, but she always refused, which left him speechless.
True dual cultivation could bring endless joy to both of them and offer tremendous benefits in their cultivation. He wondered why she kept refusing.
"You’ve never experienced it before. Once you try, you’ll realize how much of a mistake it was to refuse me. You’re going to regret it," Yang Fei said to Qin Yanyang’s retreating figure.
Qin Yanyang blushed and ignored him.
His gaze had been too intense these past few days, as if he wanted to devour her.
She didn’t know if there would come a time when she couldn’t hold out anymore and would be overwhelmed by him. But as long as she persisted, he would respect her wishes and not force anything.
"Come on, get up. Don’t just think about those things all the time, I won’t regret it," Qin Yanyang hummed, heading into the bathroom.
Yang Fei sighed again, resigned.
It had been three days since Li Xuanyu called to remind him.
He had expected the woman named Zhuge Hong to cause trouble within these few days, but there was no sign of her whatsoever.
Qin Yanyang said it’s not wise to be constantly on guard like this. Normally, there’s no need to keep warding off thieves every day. So she suggested that they go to work today and resume their regular lives. She also mentioned that if the other side really did come after them, seeing the two together every day might deter them. They should want to take them down one by one, so it would be better to go to work normally and give the enemy a chance.
After some thought, Yang Fei agreed with Qin Yanyang’s point of view.
After all, both of them were in Binhai, not far apart.
With their current combat power and vigilance, as long as the enemy appeared, they could notify each other at the first sign of danger and quickly come to each other’s aid. There shouldn’t be much of a problem.
While they were having breakfast, Yang Fei’s phone suddenly rang.
He pulled out his mobile and saw that it was a call from Li Xuantong.
"Hello, Old Li, I was just about to go to work. Is there something you need?" Yang Fei asked.
"Oh, I see, okay, let’s talk more when you come to the medical hall," Li Xuantong’s voice came over, seeming a bit angry.
Yang Fei was slightly startled. Li Xuantong’s emotions were definitely not directed at him. Had he encountered some vexing trouble?
"See, you haven’t been to the medical hall for such a long time, it must be a bit overwhelmed now. You are now a famous doctor in Binhai, and because of you, the medical hall’s reputation is growing, the business too good, but you often don’t show up for consultations. Old Li will sooner or later wear himself out," Qin Yanyang said with a smile.
Yang Fei smiled faintly after hearing this.
Qin Yanyang was telling the truth. During the time Yang Fei was absent from the medical hall, Li Xuantong was as busy as a dog, and just a few days after he returned, he discovered that quite a few patients had come specifically looking for him and had been waiting. This truly touched Yang Fei.
After breakfast, Qin Yanyang drove to school for work, and Yang Fei headed straight for Li Xuantong Medical Hall.
Before eight o’clock, it wasn’t officially business hours at the medical hall yet, and Li Xuantong, with an angry and solemn expression, was pacing back and forth at the entrance. Upon seeing Yang Fei approaching, he quickly came over and said, "Yang Fei, at last you’ve arrived."
Seeing him like this, Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
What could have made the old man lose his composure, having seen big storms in his lifetime?
"Old Li, what happened? You seem very anxious and angry," Yang Fei said.
Li Xuantong gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s all because of the troubles caused by my unfilial son and his wife. Alas, this time, even you’ve been dragged into it."
Yang Fei was taken aback and said in confusion, "Even I’ve been dragged in? What do you mean?"
Li Xuantong said, "Have you forgotten the last time you helped to complete that traditional beauty recipe?"
Yang Fei suddenly remembered.
Had it not been for Li Xuantong’s reminder, he would have nearly forgotten it.
Indeed, he had too much on his plate recently, and since completing that prescription was not a matter of concern for him, he had not been paying attention to it.
Now, seeing Li Xuantong’s expression, Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart and asked, "I’ve already completed that recipe, and the products made by the company have been tested internally and proven to be fine."
"Of course, the recipe itself is not the problem. The problem lies with that bunch of scoundrels from the Li Family’s Financial Group," Li Xuantong said angrily.
"Oh, what happened? Don’t get angry, tell me about it," Yang Fei said, slightly frowning in comfort.
Li Xuantong sighed and said, "Li Zhongni from the Li Family’s Financial Group here went too far. He made very slight changes to the recipe and then claimed that it was a product they developed themselves, having nothing to do with the recipe we provided. They have already terminated the partnership with my son and daughter-in-law’s company, and even refuse to pay you for the labor you provided while you worked for their company."
Yang Fei’s frown deepened upon hearing this, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
What a bold move, not to even pay my money!
It brought back a memory from five years ago.
Back then, a big shot from the European Union, relying on his solid strength, attempted to refuse payment of that ’labor fee.’ Consequently, Yang Fei paid a personal visit and not only retrieved the fee threefold but also made sure that big shot disappeared from this world.
Ever since then, no one had dared to default on a debt owed to him.
It was unexpected that after five years, he would encounter another one.
"It’s not anything serious, just this little matter. Don’t worry, Old Li. They will definitely come to apologize," Yang Fei said to Li Xuantong with a smile.
Li Xuantong shook his head with a bitter smile, "You don’t know the situation. The Li Family’s Financial Group has deep pockets, and they can keep dragging a lawsuit on forever. This problem is hard to solve.
"I don’t care at all about the financial loss. What I’m upset about is that they have brazenly taken our country’s ancient medical recipes as their own. Now they’re even claiming to the outside world that this is a royal Korean beauty recipe.
"The product is a complete hit in the market, and consumers around the globe believe it’s a royal Korean beauty recipe, which only fuels the argument claiming Korean traditional medicine as their own cultural heritage, gaining them a bunch of delusional fans. Such behavior is despicable and shameless."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei also glared angrily and nodded, saying, "Yes, this matter is too vile; I’ll take care of it."
Li Xuanyu is too busy now, and those from the Li Family’s Financial Group are acting lawlessly. It seemed necessary for him to help her clean up the riffraff from the Li Family’s Financial Group.
