My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 261

Xu Tiancheng furrowed his brow and said to the person beside him, "Go, get an Energy Pill. I want to try it!"

"Team Leader, there's something wrong with this medicine!"

"Nonsense. Just fetch it when I tell you to. So many people have taken it and none have died, so what am I afraid of? If I really die, then that will be the proof!" Xu Tiancheng roared.

His deputy had no choice but to fetch it.

In front of Li Qingyan, Xu Tiancheng took the Energy Pill. "Woman, I will make you understand that I am not the kind of man who takes bribes!"

Huh? As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Tiancheng suddenly felt the exhaustion from traveling all night vanish instantly. He felt as if he were suddenly rejuvenated.

"This—!" Xu Tiancheng was stunned. "There is actually such a medicine in the world!"

"What's the matter, Team Leader Xu? Is there a problem?" his deputy asked hurriedly.

"No, not at all!" Xu Tiancheng furrowed his brow. "Could it be that we were really mistaken?"

One could only know if a medicine was good or not after trying it. The effect of this pill was indeed astonishing, and there were no negative side effects. Even the test results he had received from the official inspection agency confirmed that its quality was absolutely fine.

"You lot, continue the questioning here. The rest of you, come with me!" Xu Tiancheng was finally beginning to have his doubts. If such a good medicine was being falsely accused of causing a death, that would be a major problem. He had to find out the truth and decided to investigate the circumstances of the deceased further.

「At the Chen Family's estate.」

The Chen Family Head was discussing this matter with several people. That's right, this incident was orchestrated by the Chen Family, with several vice-presidents of the business alliance also involved.

"Family Head Chen, there won't be any issues with this incident, will there? I've heard that this Xu Tiancheng is a brilliant detective. Though a bit conceited, once he picks up a clue, he pursues it relentlessly!" someone said with concern.

"Don't worry, everything has been taken care of! By now, the deceased has likely been cremated, so they won't even have the chance for an autopsy. This case is ironclad!" the Chen Family Head sneered. "Yang Qi, oh, Yang Qi, so what if you can fight? Unfortunately, you know nothing about business. Last time, we brought down your company in this same manner. This time, you're doomed to repeat the cycle!"

"Hahaha, so does this mean Qifei Group is utterly doomed?" Everyone burst into laughter.

"Definitely doomed. This time, no one can help them, not even Zhao Xiong. Xu Tiancheng won't follow Zhao Xiong's orders. That man has always done as he pleases!" the Chen Family Head sneered. "That old Chen Guo got what he deserved for endorsing Qifei Group. This time, he'll be ruined right along with them. How dare he refuse our invitation—he was truly asking for death!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

"It's just a pity we still haven't gotten our hands on the core technology for that Energy Pill. Otherwise, it would have been even better!" someone said.

"Don't worry. After this is over, we will get it. I can guarantee it!" The Chen Family Head already had a perfect plan.

"Excellent!" The men laughed sinisterly. This was not the first time they had done something like this, and they had caused far more than one death, but they didn't care at all. Business is like a battlefield; there are dark corners ordinary people never see.

Rumor had it that Qifei Group was on the verge of collapse. The company had recently secured a collaboration agreement with a corporation in Hu Country, but that was now likely ruined, and their steps toward globalization were about to come to a halt.

Yang Qi was still unaware of all this. That evening, while in his cultivation room, he suddenly opened his eyes. A terrifying aura surged into the sky, emitting the sound of a dragon's cry.

He had broken through! Ten White Zhi Breakthrough Pills had finally allowed him to advance to the Second Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. His combat power had increased significantly, as had the power of his spells.

At the moment of his breakthrough, Yang Qi suddenly remembered. I almost forgot, today is the day for the War God King's acupuncture!

He hurried out the door and saw Iron Heart cultivating outside. Smiling, he decided not to disturb him.

Moving as if the wind were at his heels, he didn't drive and instead headed directly for the War God King Mansion. Since it was already night, he wasn't afraid of causing a public spectacle. About ten minutes later, he arrived.

"My apologies, War God King. I'm a bit late," Yang Qi said, bowing.

"You've broken through?" The War God King immediately noticed that Yang Qi had grown stronger.

"It's all thanks to that White Zhi," Yang Qi said with a smile. "So, there's no need for a consultation fee, War God King. That was more than enough!"

After the acupuncture was finished, Yang Qi happened to see the news on television. Only then did he learn that Qifei Group was in trouble.

"This company, is it related to you?" the War God King asked curiously.

"I won't hide it from you, War God King. I actually founded this company. The Medicine Pills mentioned in the news, the ones that supposedly caused a death, were also developed by me," Yang Qi said.

Hearing this, the War God King frowned. "Who is the head of this special task force?"

"Xu Tiancheng!" someone said from the shadows.

"Have Xu Tiancheng come see me."

"Yes!" Someone immediately made a phone call.

"Mr. Yang, please sit and have a cup of tea with me," the War God King said with a smile. After two treatments, he could already feel a significant improvement. The healing effect was excellent, so he didn't believe Yang Qi's elixirs could kill someone.

About an hour later, Xu Tiancheng arrived, panting. In front of the War God King, this extremely arrogant and incorruptible man dared not even lift his head. Before the War God King, he was nothing.

"How is the investigation going?" the War God King asked coolly. Yang Qi knew the question was asked on his behalf.

"Reporting to the War God King. Initially, I believed the case was simple: Qifei Group, in its haste for profit, had caused a death. However, after inspecting Qifei Group and trying their elixirs, I started to have my doubts," Xu Tiancheng said. "Just a short while ago, I conducted a late-night raid on the crematorium and intercepted the body just as it was about to be secretly cremated. An autopsy has been performed, and the results should be out soon. Additionally, I retrieved surveillance footage of the deceased's activities, which revealed many intriguing things."

"Continue," the War God King ordered.

"The deceased met with someone from the Kang City Business Alliance before his death. We secretly arrested that person and, after investigation, confirmed he is from the Chen Family of Kang City. He has also confessed fully to his crimes! The deceased took the Energy Pill while also consuming a large quantity of other medications. We can preliminarily conclude that the cause of death was an overdose of those other drugs. Now, we just need to wait for the autopsy results to confirm it!" Xu Tiancheng reported.

"So, you nearly made a mistake?" The War God King's voice was icy.

"This subordinate was indeed negligent. I allowed myself to be influenced by preconceived notions, which I never should have done!" Xu Tiancheng was genuinely terrified. If he hadn't discovered the truth, Qifei Group would have been wrongfully destroyed. At that point, he would have been inescapably to blame. Given his personality, he likely would have taken his own life to atone for his error.
