I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"Where did you come from, you old swindler?"

Zhang Sanmei didn't want to see Pu Yifan suffer a setback; her purpose in coming here was to bring Zhang Ruonan and Pu Yifan together.

Do you know anything about elixirs?

Don't assume that acting mysterious and enigmatic means you have real skills.

Do you know who sent this?

"This was sent by the Pu family in Beijing. Do you think the Pu family would send us fake elixirs?"

Upon hearing that it was sent by the Pu family, Wu Daotan, who was about to say something, immediately shut his mouth.

The Pu family held a position among the top ten in Beijing. No matter how arrogant he was in Mingdai, he wouldn't dare to go against them.

He turned to the old man with half an eyebrow: "Could you be mistaken?"

The old man with half an eyebrow frowned slightly, understanding the meaning behind Wu Daotan's words, and quickly took back what he had just said.

Since it was sent by the Pu family, even if it's fake, it must be real.

Although reluctant, the old man still spoke against his will: "Perhaps I really did see wrong, that I was blind."

Zhang Jiushan naturally saw through the trick. The old man realized there was something wrong with the pill, but under pressure, in order to avoid embarrassing Pu Yifan and himself, he deliberately said that he had made a mistake.

He looked down at the pill in his hand again and immediately felt that it had lost its previous luster, and that it looked particularly crude in both smell and appearance.

Since the other person had given him a way out, he stopped dwelling on the issue, casually closed the book of astonishment in his hand, and handed it to the person next to him.

He had been carrying it like a precious treasure just moments before, but now he casually handed it over to someone nearby. This small action reveals that he has become suspicious.

After all, it was a gift from Pu Yifan, and with so many people present, the proper ceremony had to be observed.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Sanmei stepped forward again, and Zhang Jiushan immediately looked over to signal her to shut up. Zhang Sanmei didn't care at all, took two steps forward and blocked Wu Daotan and the half-browed old man, looking like she was in the right and wouldn't let it go.

"What knowledge do you have? You're just spouting nonsense."

"Quickly apologize to Xiao Fan."

She looked at Pu Yifan beside her and said, "Xiao Fan's good intentions have been turned into counterfeit goods in the mouths of you liars. It's already more than polite of you to just apologize."

"If it weren't for Old Nine's birthday, which would make it less likely to bleed, I would have had your arms and legs broken and thrown out."

Wu Daotan's lips twitched, his face turned ashen, he was furious but dared not vent it.

If it were any other woman, he would have slapped her across the face and beaten that bitch to death.

How dare you talk to yourself like that?

But since his surname is Zhang, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

The old man with half an eyebrow squinted, sighed helplessly, and remained silent.

"Third Aunt, let it go."

Seeing their disgusted expressions, Pu Yifan felt smug, but he didn't forget to continue to put on a show of his magnanimity.

"None of them did it on purpose."

"Didn't you just say that people from small places have never seen much of the world?"

Perhaps what this old gentleman saw before was all fake.

"Now when I see the real thing, I think it's fake."

He appeared polite and spoke in a tolerant tone, but the seasoned veterans in front of him could tell that he was referring to the old man with the yin-yang half-eyebrow and Wu Daotan.

Dare to admit that the gifts you gave were fake? I think you're just ignorant.

Wu Daotan and the half-browed old man remained silent for a long time. Seeing the awkward situation, Zhang Jiushan quickly smiled and said, "Alright, let's pretend this never happened."

"Come inside and have a drink together."

"Uncle Zhang," Pu Yifan stepped forward confidently, "I think it's best to get to the bottom of this."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yuan and Zhang Ruonan beside him. This was related to his reputation, and he wanted to leave a good impression on Zhang Ruonan. He couldn't be seen as someone who delivered counterfeit goods right away.

"Otherwise, people will think that I, Pu Yifan, can't afford to give genuine gifts, and can only give fakes."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhang Jiushan's eyes. "I've given you a way out, but you won't take it. You insist on pulling down your own pants?"

"I think Xiao Fan is right," Zhang Sanmei chimed in. "Old Ninth, aren't you usually the one who loves playing with pills the most? There should be pill ingredient testing equipment here. Why don't we just test it on the machine and find out?"

"I support machine testing," Pu Yifan declared confidently.

He spent a great deal of effort and money to obtain this elixir, firmly believing it to be genuine.

The fire was already lit, and it seemed Zhang Jiushan had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Ruonan stopped trying to drag Xu Yuan to her room and started watching the fun instead.

"Brother Yuan, do you think his elixir is real or fake?"

"What's fake can't become real," Xu Yuan replied calmly.

According to what they said, Master Wuji is a great figure who only produces one pill a year, so naturally the things he makes are extraordinary.

The pills in the brocade box were nothing more than ordinary items; even Song Wenxuan could have made them better.

"So it's fake?" Zhang Ruonan understood the implication in Xu Yuan's words and looked at Pu Yifan with disdain.

"How dare you! You're using fake stuff to fool people."

With a sense of excitement, the group headed towards the room where the testing equipment was located.

Xu Yuan, who was walking at the very back, then noticed that Song Wenxuan was also in the crowd.

"He's here too."

The old man following Wu Daotan deliberately slowed his pace, keeping a distance from Xu Yuan, his sharp eyes constantly sweeping over him.

"Old man, why are you staring at me like that?"

I admit I'm handsome, but I'm not interested in old men.

The old man with half an eyebrow rolled his eyes at him, then quickened his pace to catch up with Wu Daotan without saying a word.

Xu Yuan was a little confused: "What does he mean?"

"I hope my brother is well-liked, even by old men," Zhang Ruonan said with a smile.

Pu Yifan, who was walking in front, turned his head and glanced at Xu Yuan and Zhang Ruonan flirting. A cold hatred flashed in his eyes.

"What kind of thing do you think you are, daring to steal my woman?"

Walking up to the testing equipment, Zhang Jiushan glanced at Pu Yifan one last time. Seeing his confident expression, he stopped thinking about it and ordered someone to turn on the machine.

Wu Daotan and the half-browed old man exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat uncertain.

If they say something wrong, they'll offend people, offending two powerful families at once.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Butler Zhang put on white gloves, carefully took out a pill from the brocade box, and placed it on the testing instrument.

Press the red test button, and the machine will start running.

The room was filled with the sound of machinery; everyone else remained silent, waiting for the results.

"Detection complete, data analysis in progress..."

The testing instrument emitted a crisp mechanical sound: "Overall assessment: unqualified."

"The ingredients of this elixir include: goji berries, licorice root..."

As the machine broadcasted data item by item, Pu Yifan stood there awkwardly, his face full of disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible, how could this be?"

"I spent fifty million to buy this!"

The way Song Wenxuan and the others looked at Pu Yifan also changed.

It turns out it was fake after all; I thought it was something incredibly awesome.

Wu Daotan and Banmei exchanged glances without speaking.

"The thought is what counts."

Or perhaps Xiao Fan was also scammed. It's nothing; just consider it a lesson learned.

Zhang Jiushan stepped in to help Pu Yifan out of the most awkward situation.

"Alright, everyone, please go and sit down in the living room."
