I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"I'll bankrupt you all! I'll make you all beggars!"

Charlie's hysterical roars still echoed in the empty hospital lobby.

Jiang Chen stood on the steps, not even bothering to look at him again.

He turned around and gave instructions to Ding Xiu, who was cracking his knuckles.

"Ding Xiu, get these foreign scumbags, along with those broken-down cars outside, out of Jiangjia Village."

"Tell the security guards at the village entrance that from now on, smash every car with this kind of license plate you see."

"Yes, boss!" Ding Xiu's reply was brief and forceful.

Soon, dozens of fierce-looking security guards rushed out of the hospital.

Some of them lifted the two unconscious bodyguards off the ground and dragged them away like dead dogs.

Some even took matters into their own hands, pushing and shoving the two terrified clerical assistants out of the room.

The twelve arrogant Maybachs outside were smashed by security guards with rubber batons, and the alarms blared throughout the valley.

Charlie watched as his expensively hired team and supposedly bulletproof convoy proved as fragile as paper in front of the "barbarians" of Jiangjia Village, and he was so angry he almost spat out blood again.

He scrambled onto the only drivable car and fled Jiangjia Village in a sorry state.

That afternoon.

As expected, Pfizer Group made use of its strong overseas media resources.

Almost simultaneously, internationally renowned media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and The Times published strongly worded front-page articles on their websites.

—An Ancient Scam from the East: Mysterious Traditional Chinese Medicine or Deadly Poison?

—In-depth investigation: The truth behind Changsheng Hospital – suspected of using untested poisonous plants to endanger patients' lives!

International opinion was in an uproar.

Countless foreign netizens, unaware of the truth, launched a barrage of attacks on these articles, hurling insults and abuse at Changsheng Hospital and Jiang Chen.

However, the ripples these events caused overseas were of no use to Jiangjia Village.

The wealthy in China aren't stupid.

Wang Bancheng, full of energy, opened a branch of a coal company in Qinghe County and drove his Mercedes-Benz around every day for social engagements. This news had long been known throughout the upper-class circles of Nanjiang Province.

With such living examples right there, who would still believe the nonsense from those foreign newspapers?

Therefore, Changsheng Hospital's business remains booming.

The line of people waiting to give money stretched from the village entrance all the way to the next town.

In the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel in the provincial capital.

"Bang!"

Charlie smashed a crystal wine glass worth tens of thousands of dollars against the wall, shattering it into pieces.

He looked at the bustling scene of cars at the entrance of Jiangjiacun Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on his tablet, and his eyes turned red with envy.

The propaganda war has been a complete failure!

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey! Barbarian!"

Charlie paced back and forth in the room in a fit of rage, his chest heaving violently.

He knew that if he couldn't win over Jiang Chen and get that damned prescription, he would not only lose his position as president of the Asian region, but he might also face a huge claim from the group's board of directors.

Soft methods won't work, and underhanded methods won't work either.

A ruthless glint flashed in Charlie's eyes.

He picked up the satellite phone on the table and dialed a number hidden deep within his contacts.

"Hello, is this 'Viper'?"

A hoarse voice, altered by a voice changer, came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Charlie, we only care about money."

Charlie gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what methods you use, I want you to infiltrate the traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Jiangjia Village, China, and get the prescriptions or samples of medicinal herbs from their pharmacy!"

"Fifty million US dollars after it's done!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, as if they were assessing the risks of the mission.

"One hundred million US dollars, half as a deposit. In addition, we need a detailed internal structural diagram of the target and its security configuration."

Charlie answered without hesitation: "Deal!"

He hung up the phone, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

"Viper" is a top-tier mercenary squad known for its ruthlessness and efficiency, operating in the Middle East and Africa.

Its members are all from the top special forces in various countries, and each one is a killing machine.

Charlie believed that in the face of absolute force, the security guards of Jiangjia Village were no different from a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Jiang Chen, you just wait!

……

Two days later, late at night.

The moon was dark and the wind was high.

Outside the three-meter-high wall behind the Jiangjiacun Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, several dark figures approached silently like ghosts.

There were six people in total, all dressed in tight-fitting black night clothes, their faces painted with greasepaint, only their cold eyes were visible.

They carried tactical backpacks and short assault rifles equipped with silencers. Their movements were silent and their teamwork was impeccable; they were clearly battle-hardened elites.

The leader, codenamed "Viper," raised a high-definition night vision device and scanned the area inside and outside the wall.

"Cuckoo, report the situation," Viper whispered into his headset in perfect English.

"Reporting to the captain, no electronic surveillance equipment or patrol personnel have been detected within 500 meters. It's safe." Another team member's voice came through the headset.

A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of the viper's mouth.

"A bunch of idiots who can't even pretend to understand surveillance."

He gave the command into the headset.

"Target location confirmed. Numbers 3 and 4, take guard duty. The rest of you, prepare to scale the wall and steal the prescription sample!"

"receive!"

The two team members immediately slipped out, nimbly climbed to the top of a nearby tree, and raised their guns to stand guard.

The other three team members took out specially made titanium alloy climbing rope hooks from their backpacks.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

With three soft clicks, the rope hook precisely locked onto the top of the wall.

They thought they were completely unaware...

Thinking they had gotten away with it unnoticed, and being as agile as monkeys, they grabbed the ropes and quickly and silently scaled the three-meter-high wall.

"Too easy." One of the team members chuckled as he sat on the wall.

However, he didn't have time to jump.

An unexpected change occurred!

Just as all six of them were perched on the wall...

Suddenly, a blinding, blood-red light illuminated the entire perimeter of the wall!

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

A powerful electric current instantly erupted from the wall beneath them and from the seemingly ordinary ivy vines!

This is no ordinary wall!

This is the [Military-Grade AI Security and Defense Network] that Jiang Chen had already redeemed from the system store at a high price!

Those seemingly decorative ivy vines are actually biomimetic cables with built-in high-voltage microcurrents and sensors!

"ah--!!!"

"Fuck! There's electricity!"

A series of popping sounds, like popping beans, rang out!

Several top-tier mercenaries who were arrogant just a moment ago were suddenly shocked by the high voltage and began to tremble violently.

Their guns were scattered on the ground, and their hair stood on end, making them look like a group of cheap, flamboyant people under the red light.

"Captain! Help..."

The viper had barely uttered a single word when it let out a scream, its body convulsing, and like a charred log, it plummeted headfirst from the three-meter-high wall.

"Thump!"

He didn't fall on hard ground.

Instead, they fell into a large mud pit that had been dug at some unknown time and was a full two meters deep.

The pit was filled with a foul-smelling slurry mixed with pig manure and rotten mud.

The others, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, fell in one after another with a "plop! plop!" They were dazed and confused in the foul-smelling mud pit, covered in filth.

"brush--!"

Just then, more than a dozen high-powered searchlights installed on the wall turned on simultaneously!

The blinding light instantly illuminated the back hill as bright as day.

Beside the mud pit, a grand chair and a small tea table had been placed there at some point.

Jiang Chen was sitting comfortably in his chair with his legs crossed, holding a freshly washed red apple in his hand. With a "crunch," he took a big bite.

He chuckled as he watched the mercenaries struggling and thrashing about in the mud like drowned rats.

"Hey, some international friends, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you here to help us renovate the walls of our village, or to experience the unique natural fertilizer spa of Jiangjia Village?"

Ding Xiu and Wang Dagou, along with dozens of security guards armed with riot batons and shields, emerged from the darkness and surrounded the entire mud pit.

Jiang Chen spat out the apple core from his mouth, clapped his hands, and stood up.

His eyes instantly turned cold.

"Ding Xiu".

"Tie up all these uninvited foreign trash tightly."

"Pack it up overnight and send it to the county public security bureau!"

"They said they caught several foreign spies who were trying to infiltrate our country to carry out sabotage activities."
