Meng Chen was a little confused and bewildered.

"Xiao Huang, you already know that I lied to you, why are you still..."

Huang Wujin sighed softly, sat down opposite Meng Chen, and looked at his hands blankly.

"I don't know. I don't reject your approach, and I feel that you would be a good person. I probably had the same idea before I lost my memory, so that's why I have a good impression of you."

Meng Chen rolled his eyes. The reason you lost your memory is because you wanted to kill me, and I wanted to drag you down with me!
I really think I am a good person and that he has a good impression of me, so how could he possibly do something evil to me!

Meng Chen sneered at her words, and at the same time, hatred rose again in his heart. He pulled Huang Wujin into his arms and kissed her without hesitation. His big hands were even more unscrupulous, taking advantage of her in every possible way.

He shook his wet hands and looked at the dazed Huang Wujin in his arms with a complicated expression.

Huang Wujin seemed to trust him too much. Even though she knew he had lied to her, she was still unwilling to refuse any of his requests.

Facing her beautiful face, Meng Chen felt sympathy for the first time, even though she was very bad before she lost her memory and even wanted to kill himself.

But if it continues to be like this, it's not impossible to continue with her.

At night, Meng Chen and Huang Wujin came to the Lin family again. Compared with the half-understanding he had last time, Meng Chen was obviously more confident this time.

He told Huang Wujin and Lin Xinran the information he had heard from the music house.

When Lin Xinran heard that the City Lord's Mansion might be targeting the Lin family, she was not surprised at all. It seemed that she had discovered some clues before.

When she heard that they might make some big moves during this period, her face turned pale. After all, with every attack from the major families, the Lin family's assets would shrink a little.

Meng Chen comforted him, "Don't worry, we can deal with them no matter what tricks they use!"

After they had a general understanding of the situation, Meng Chen and Huang Wujin stayed in the Lin Mansion, ready to deal with any emergencies.

On the third day, something happened at the Lin family's pharmacy, and the three remaining alchemists of the Lin family ran away. The delivery date to the major pharmacy shops was in three days.

With the current inventory of pills in the alchemy workshop, it is simply impossible to deliver to the major medicine shops. By then, the Lin family will face compensation of dozens of times the deposit.

Lin Xinran rushed to the alchemy shop with Meng Chen and others. After learning that the only three remaining alchemists had left, she felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Huang Wujin was quick enough to support her.

Lin Xinran murmured, "It's over. The compensation alone is enough to bankrupt the Lin family. They are not forcing me to submit, they are forcing me to die!"

Huang Wujin comforted him: "It doesn't matter, even if you die, I will kill them all and bury them with you."

Meng Chen was speechless and said unhappily, "Stop making trouble. The Lin Family Alchemy Shop mainly sells spiritual pills, and only a small number of precious pills. I have plenty of pills of this grade."

Meng Chen took out a storage ring. He had killed many people over the years. Their magic weapons were basically blown up or exploded when they died. He did collect a lot of things in his storage bag, the most abundant of which were elixirs of this kind. They were useless to great monks, and only monks in remote areas would regard them as treasures.

Lin Xinran's eyes were complicated: "This, Brother Meng, Sister Xiaohuang, I really can't repay you for doing this."

"No need. It's just gathering dust anyway. It's good if it can be put to some use." Meng Chen put the storage bag on the table.

"There are many kinds of elixirs in here, and the quantity is not small. Just use them with peace of mind." Lin Xinran obviously couldn't accept these gifts with peace of mind. Her face was full of guilt, and she hesitated to take any action. Huang Wujin patted her on the back and said, "Take it!"

Meng Chen was speechless. He shouldn't have had any expectations of her. She didn't look like someone who could persuade others at all.

Meng Chen said helplessly: "Take it! When you reach a certain level in the path of cultivation, you must pay attention to the words of cause and effect. You saved us, which is the cause, and now we are helping you, which is the result. If we don't pay off this cause and effect, it will hinder our path to cultivation."

Lin Xinran was skeptical. It sounded so mysterious that she couldn't help but believe it...

There was also confusion in Huang Wujin's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

When they walked out of the alchemy shop, there were already three layers of people outside. They were all shop owners. The purpose of coming here was self-evident. They heard that the alchemist of the Lin family had run away, and they came here to collect the penalty for breach of contract.

When they saw Lin Xinran coming out, their eyes suddenly lit up and the greed in their eyes was about to overflow.

Among them, the people from the Sun family did not hide their emotions at all. They walked out with a cold face and stood at the front of the team.

"Ms. Lin, I heard that the Lin family's alchemists have all run away and they can't deliver the next batch of pills. Is this true?"

Lin Xinran's eyes were gloomy. Sun Wucheng from the Sun family had been targeting the Lin family for some time and was the one Lin Xinran hated the most.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"

Suddenly, the crowd began to boil like boiling water, becoming extremely noisy.

Sun Wucheng said excitedly: "If that's the case, how are you going to explain to us in three days? We have all signed a contract. Who will compensate for the losses incurred by our shop?"

Facing Sun Wucheng's questioning, Lin Xinran remained silent. After all, she had a large amount of pills in her hands. Not to mention supplying them for this month, it would not be a problem to supply them for several years.

However, in the eyes of Sun Wucheng and others, she looked guilty and speechless.

Sun Wucheng decided to press on and take advantage of the victory: "Ms. Lin, we cannot trust the Lin family's reputation now. If you cannot hand over the pills in three days, then we can only act according to the contract."

There is only greed in their eyes. With visible benefits in front of them, they can't help but be tempted.

Lin Xinran's eyes swept over them one by one. Among these people there were many familiar old faces to Lin Xinran. In the past, for the Lin family's business, they would go to the Lin family every festival to show their courtesy.

But now, people have left and the tea has gone cold. She only feels lonely and sad, and her heart is clear.

Under the eager gazes of these people, she became calmer and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I will give you an explanation in three days. If you can't produce the elixir, then what if we follow the contract?"

Everyone was delighted, for they knew that the Lin family would not be able to produce the elixir in three days, and would then have no choice but to pay the money!

Of course, it is also possible to ask the City Lord's Mansion to take action. At that time, they would definitely not dare to ask for ten times the penalty, which is a pity.

However, this time I have climbed up to a high position in the City Lord's Mansion. I will have some confidence when doing business in Weiyuan City in the future. Most people don't dare to provoke me. Anyway, I won't lose anything.
