CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 251 RECIPE(2)_1

Li Junjie took notes, his face radiating smug satisfaction, while above them, Shangguan Zhi and Shangguan Hao broke out in cold sweats. Could it be that You really has these poison formulas? Everyone’s hearts hung on these few individuals. Regarding the formulas Shangguan You spoke of, they hadn’t listened carefully; they just knew that she knew the recipes and could even develop them herself.

When they saw her scatter the substance among the snakes, everyone’s hearts leaped to their throats.

Shangguan You, you still claim you don’t know these formulas and don’t know how to make poisons. Now you’ve spoken the formula yourself, and with the video as proof, let’s see how the Shangguan Family will turn the tables, let’s see if the Shangguan Family can avoid its demise! Li Junjie and the Li Family elder thought smugly. Such a great opportunity lay right in front of them, truly obtained without any effort.

"Shangguan You, besides using it once on the mountain, have you ever spread this poison powder on a large scale in any city? Endangering the safety, lives, and property of the citizens? And the Antidote Pills, how did you acquire them?"

"That’s all. I bought the Antidote Pills at a pharmacy." Shangguan You inwardly despised Li Junjie. He’s the Secretary-General and doesn’t even recognize what these formulas are, yet he’s so cocky. Just wait, you won’t even know how you died.

"If that’s all, then how did you manage to bet on such high-grade jade at the Gu Family’s stone gambling den, netting over one hundred million US Dollars?" Hearing Li Junjie ask this, not only did Uncle Yu’s eyes light up, but so did those of the onlookers above. Only Shangguan Zhi and his son clenched their fists tightly. What does You’s stone gambling have to do with them, or with poisons?

Those damn Li Wanying and her daughter! Even now, they’re still coveting You’s things. Those belong to You; no one else should even think of getting a sliver!

Everyone anxiously awaited Shangguan You’s answer. When she spoke, her words made everyone’s jaws drop. "I just picked one at random, pointed at a stone without much thought—who knew it would be a hit? I really didn’t expect my luck to be so good, so good I almost went to buy lottery tickets."

"You didn’t use any special methods? No tricks at all? How could you possibly win when so many people gamble away their fortunes on stones?" Li Junjie asked, a touch of disappointment in his voice. He really didn’t believe that a random choice could yield such a fine stone.

"How did you choose?" Uncle Yu’s eyes sparkled as he asked quickly.

Shangguan You inwardly rolled her eyes. If she could open her eyes and show them she wasn’t hypnotized, she would have cursed them out loud. Are these people interrogating her or asking about stone gambling? They must be crazy for money or just plain envious of her winnings.

Scum of the Li Family, wanting to gamble on stones? May you gamble yourselves to death! she cursed inwardly, while softly mumbling, "There was no special method. I just picked whichever one looked big and pleasing to the eye, silently praying in my heart. And the more overlooked the stone, the greater the chance of it containing high-quality jade."

"What nonsense! What does this have to do with stone gambling?" Shangguan Zhi asked through gritted teeth, addressing the two vice-chairmen in the room. Not only were they slinging mud at the Shangguan Family, but they also wanted to know how to find jade through gambling. This was utterly ridiculous!

"Stone gambling is also a form of entertainment. Since the Shangguan Family’s young lady is knowledgeable, it doesn’t hurt to ask. We can learn from her experience; maybe next time we’ll also cut open an emerald. We’re just exchanging ideas, aren’t we?" Vice-Chairman Liu said with a smile.

Now that the formulas had been revealed, if the medical staff confirmed them as poisons, the Shangguan Family would cease to exist. Therefore, he wasn’t as polite to those present. Since the others were absent, he and Vice-Chairman Duan were in charge here.

"Indeed, asking doesn’t hurt. It’s beneficial for cultural exchange, isn’t it?" Vice-Chairman Duan nodded in agreement.

"Hmph." Shangguan Hao snorted coldly, glaring at the two vice-chairmen. He truly hadn’t expected that even the supposedly neutral Vice-Chairman Duan was one of their people. It was unimaginable!

"Old Man Shangguan, your granddaughter is knowledgeable; if she knows, she ought to share," the Li Family elder said with a triumphant chuckle. "You know, stone gambling is a cultural activity; one shouldn’t let such culture be buried." The questions being asked below were all about stone gambling; since the formula had been revealed, Li Junjie hadn’t pressed further on other matters.

In the interrogation room, Li Junjie and Uncle Yu bombarded her with one question after another, all about stone gambling. It was only when Shangguan Zhi and Shangguan Hao could no longer bear it and shouted out, their voices making the room tremble, that Li Junjie finally stopped. "Shangguan You, one last question: the Shangguan Family’s secret..." Li Junjie was about to ask the question they had been seeking for over a decade, but before he could finish, Uncle Yu interrupted him.

"Shangguan You, I’m going to snap my fingers. You will wake up from your deep sleep and forget everything that just happened." SNAP. Uncle Yu snapped his fingers. Shangguan You’s eyes slowly opened, and she looked somewhat puzzled at the two men before her.

"I... what’s going on?" Shangguan You muttered, looking strangely at the people before her.

"What’s going on will soon be confirmed. Don’t be impatient. HEH HEH HEH." Li Junjie chuckled softly. At the same time, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and Shangguan Zhi, Shangguan Hao, and the others entered.

"You, you’ve suffered," Shangguan Hao said gravely, his brow deeply furrowed. It was all because he, her father, was useless. His daughter had saved so many people in his unit, and now she was being treated as a dangerous individual, burdened with such a grave accusation!

"Daddy, Grandpa, I’m fine," Shangguan You nodded, comforting them both as a chill flashed through her deep eyes.

"Gentlemen, if you please. There are specialized inspectors over there, along with top medical personnel. The true nature of these formulas will soon be unveiled. Whether the Shangguan Family has committed acts harmful to the military and society, or if they are hiding a major conspiracy—all will soon be revealed," Vice-Chairman Liu said indifferently, then led the way out.

"Old Zhi, I’m afraid I can’t help you this time." Vice-Chairman Duan patted Shangguan Zhi’s shoulder, speaking gravely before also walking out. "You’ll have to fend for yourselves. Sigh, who would have thought it would come to this."

"Old Man Shangguan, this time the evidence is irrefutable!" the Li Family elder also said grimly. "The Shangguan Family was hiding such a huge ticking time bomb. Thankfully, Wanying and Rouya returned to the Li Family and have no connection with your Shangguan Family. At this point, shouldn’t you be considering a divorce?"
