Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 973 - 40: A Well-Planned Marketing Strategy
In the end, Mu Tiansheng was still brought back to the police station, along with the starlet he was planning to sponsor.
One was because of assaulting the police, the other for eating something unclean.
Wang Yunxiao initially thought to call for backup, but then suddenly remembered he had a professional by his side.
"Can you give her a medical check-up to see exactly what she ate?"
The kind-hearted Doctor Li Mumu was not only skilled in medicine but also well-versed in those Western evil spirits.
And round... sorry, I won’t use that adjective anymore in the future, calling her round really makes her cry.
Both the Divine Witch Miss Uesugi Risa from Fusang and the technical nun Miss Cui Xiaoying from Qianjin Church are experts.
No sooner had they settled the panicked and restless starlet than Wang Yunxiao received a call from Mu Yuming.
"Chief Wang, I heard you caught a young master of the Mu Family?"
"Yes, there is such a person."
"What’s the matter?"
"Assaulting the police."
These days, possessing a gun is not considered a crime, but pointing it at someone after shooting is a big problem.
"Isn’t there some misunderstanding?"
"No misunderstanding, I was the one involved."
"He’s young, unruly, and ignorant. You’re the bigger person, don’t stoop to his level. In light of my face, is there any room for leniency?"
Leniency?
When you open with "Chief Wang," is there room for leniency?
Wang Yunxiao already understood that Boss Mu was under pressure from somewhere.
It seems the King Mu’s Mansion has called Qin Xiangdong, but it was of no use, so they turned to Mu Yuming.
Mu Yuming made this call purely out of societal obligation.
If he really wanted leniency, his tone wouldn’t be like that.
"What kind of leniency do you propose?"
"Can we post bail to get him out first?"
"We don’t have such a rule."
"The Mu Family is willing to pay and apologize."
"No need to apologize; I’m just doing my job. Since you called, of course, I have to give you face. I won’t intervene in this matter. Let the Mu Family find a lawyer and go through the normal process."
"Mu Tiansheng just recovered from a serious illness and is physically weak."
"We have doctors here who can ensure his safety."
"Would it be convenient in the next couple of days? His parents want to invite you to a meal."
"Not very convenient, let’s talk about it later."
"Alright."
Mu Yuming hung up the phone, spread his hands towards the man opposite his desk, and said, "You heard it too, this Chief Xiao Wang is a man of principle, won’t even sell me face." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The man sneered, "Principles, my ass, it’s just young people competing for attention. He’s your future son-in-law and still dares talk to you this way? You two playing this little drama, who are you trying to fool?"
Mu Yuming adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, expressionless, "The grand King Mu’s Mansion, now can’t even deal with a small section chief, going through connections to reach me, still putting on airs like I’m indebted to you or something?"
A single sarcastic remark made the man’s face flush, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Tiansheng is not in good health, let him release Tiansheng first, and I’ll give you the plot of land in the Seaside District."
"Not interested."
Mu Yuming shook his head, "My wife just had a second child, so I don’t have the energy to manage business. If you think that plot is a treasure, keep it and let it lay eggs yourself, I don’t want it."
The man snorted, "The way you lounge around every few days, how can you earn any money? How do you support a family?"
Mu Yuming shrugged, "I don’t have a son, two daughters don’t cost much."
This sentence left the man speechless.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the police station’s medical room, Li Mumu donned a doctor’s coat and drew a vial of fresh blood from the starlet’s arm.
Nowadays, of course, there are no professional testing institutions or equipment.
Li Mumu directly smeared it on her palm, licked it.
To be honest, that taste felt familiar, but she couldn’t remember.
"This is the Holy Grail." Uesugi Risa made a professional judgment with just a glance.
"What Holy Grail?"
"The Holy Grail of the Holy Grail Church, a secret medicine that can resurrect the dead, grant eternal life."
When she said that, Li Mumu suddenly realized.
She wasn’t familiar with the Holy Grail, but this thing had another name.
God’s Blood.
When they first opened the Longevity Sect, someone brought God’s Blood over, hiring them to investigate the secrets of the Twelve Laws system.
Now, Li Mumu basically understood the secrets of the Twelve Laws system.
But the employer never returned...
Presumably, he didn’t know where he died.
Okay, anyway, as long as they know what it is, the rest of the matter should be handed over to the Special Service Section.
"God’s Blood?" Wang Yunxiao was dumbfounded when he heard this term.
The Blood Cup Sect was already eradicated, wasn’t it?
That was almost a year ago.
How did this come up again?
It’s understandable that God’s Blood still exists.
Firstly, the Blood Cup Sect didn’t keep it secret at the time, spreading related documents everywhere.
Secondly... it seems this thing really didn’t have any reported side effects, at least compared to its positive effects, the side effects were negligible.
An elixir of immortality, something so desirable, even if you think with your heel, you know how popular it is.
It’s just that the crafting process is complicated and inhumane.
But for those eager to extend their lives, does that matter?
Also... a magical pill like this, instead of marketing it to the wealthy and powerful, you feed it to a starlet?
It does seem a bit wasteful.
But if you think along this line, about Mu Tiansheng...
Wang Yunxiao looked up and asked Li Mumu: "That ancestor of King Mu’s Mansion, isn’t he quite old?"
Li Mumu shook her head, "The old man might be old, but he’s stubborn and won’t take such an unknown elixir."
"But about King Mu’s Mansion..."
"Many people don’t want the old man to leave. If the old man really leaves, the whole King Mu’s Mansion will fall apart, and those who relied on its protection will lose their sanctuary."
"This is a meticulously planned sales pitch!"
Li Mumu, following the Cause and Effect Line, saw the whole picture clearly: "That so-called traveling doctor who can make the Immortal Elixir is marketing this drug mixed with God’s Blood to Tianmen’s new elites this way."
"This indicates he’s limited in strength, unable to reach the upper echelons, hence resorting to such seemingly profound tricks. Mu Tiansheng witnesses such miraculous revival and surely will tell his family upon returning. The Mu Family will naturally seek out this traveling doctor themselves."
