Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

creak!

The screech of brakes ripped through the morning's tranquility as a SUV came to a steady stop in front of the Jincheng Center, its tires leaving two charred marks on the ground.

The car door opened, and Qin Quan jumped out.

Without even bothering to lock the car door, he transformed into a blur, weaving through the crowd at breakneck speed.

Three levels underground.

A small, dark room, completely devoid of light, reeking of a nauseating stench.

The room was crawling with countless worms, like maggots in a dry toilet, wriggling wildly and covering the floor and walls.

There wasn't even a place to put your feet, let alone step over it. Just looking at it made your scalp tingle and made you feel nauseous.

"Damn it! That bastard is raising poisonous insects in a place like this, it's utterly despicable!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Quan's eyes. Anyone else would have been helpless in the face of this room full of Gu worms, but to him, it was a trivial matter.

With a flick of his wrists, several fire-controlling talismans flew out.

Boom boom boom!

With a few muffled thuds, the talisman spontaneously combusted, and the eerie blue flames instantly engulfed the entire room, illuminating the pitch-black basement as if it were daytime.

The worms and their eggs on the ground sizzled and burned under the flames, turning to ashes in an instant, and the stench was also burned away by the flames.

at the same time.

The main entrance of Jincheng Center.

Qiu Qianren, who had just arrived, suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his face turned ashen.

Without a doubt, his Gu worms must have been wiped out on a large scale, causing a severe backlash.

"Damn it! He's using that trick again! It's infuriating!"

Qiu Qianren trembled with rage, gritting his teeth. In the entire Jincheng, besides Qin Quan, there was no one else who could kill so many of his Gu worms at once and still suffer a backlash.

"Since you insist on seeking death, then I will grant your wish!"

He stopped and took out a pitch-black bone flute from his pocket. It was shrouded in malevolent energy and extremely sinister.

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd around him, he immediately blew the whistle.

The unique music of southern Xinjiang began to play, instantly spreading throughout the entire center of Jincheng. As if summoned by a mysterious force, snakes, insects, rats and ants from all directions rushed into the mall.

Densely packed, blotting out the sky and the sun.

On the third basement level, the remaining Gu worms that hadn't been burned to death by the flames became restless. Like locusts swarming across the area, they surged out wildly through the basement passages, biting anyone they encountered. Screams and cries of terror echoed throughout the mall.

Inside the small dark room, Lin Wanrou, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes.

Strangely, her pupils turned a deep blue, and her face was expressionless, like a heartless killing machine. She kicked open the door and threw a punch at Qin Quan.

A terrifying pure Yin energy spread wildly from her body, and the originally cold and damp basement was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost.

The cold was biting, as if even the air itself had frozen.

"Oh no! The proprietress has been manipulated!"

Qin Quan's expression changed drastically, and his heart skipped a beat. Faced with Lin Wanrou's killing move, he dared not use his full strength and could only dodge repeatedly.

Lin Wanrou ignored everything, her expression cold and her eyes fierce. Like a puppet that felt no pain, her fists, carrying a chilling aura, launched a frenzied attack on Qin Quan, each move aimed to kill.

"Boss lady! It's me! Qin Quan! Wake up, you've been controlled by Qiu Qianren!"

Qin Quan dodged while shouting loudly, his voice filled with urgency, trying to wake Lin Wanrou from her daze.

But all their efforts were in vain.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe I can't wake you up!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Qin Quan's eyes. Seizing an opening, he delivered a vicious chop to the back of Lin Wanrou's neck.

With his strength and precision, even a ninth-grade grandmaster could be knocked unconscious with a single blow.

But Lin Wanrou acted as if nothing had happened. Not only did she not faint, but her attacks became even more fierce. Her fists slammed into the ground, causing the cement to crack.

"It seems the only solution is to seal her meridians with acupuncture!"

Without further hesitation, Qin Quan flicked his wrist, and several golden needles appeared out of thin air. His figure transformed into a blur, rapidly circling around Lin Wanrou. With a slight movement of his fingertips, the golden needles flew out with precision.

puff!puff!puff!

Each gold needle was precisely inserted into Lin Wanrou's acupoints, sealing her meridians.

Gradually, Lin Wanrou's movements became sluggish, like a wound-up robot with her limbs restricted. Eventually, she stopped moving completely and stood stiffly in place like a wooden stake.

Qin Quan then stopped what he was doing, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and gasped for breath.

"Damn it, this is so frustrating! If it were anyone else, I would have torn you apart already!"

He had too many concerns, fearing he might hurt Lin Wanrou. This battle was even more difficult than killing the Zombie King.

The shopping mall on the first floor.

There was a click.

The bone flute in Qiu Qianren's hand shattered with a sound.

Qin Quan used golden needles to seal Lin Wanrou, which also broke his Gu and black magic.

The surrounding insects, snakes, ants, and rodents instantly went out of control.

They bite anyone they encounter, like locusts sweeping across the land, leaving nothing but barren land.

The goods, tables and chairs in the mall were devoured in an instant, and screams and cries filled the air.

Qiu Qianren's expression changed drastically. Even though he was a top-notch Gu Master, he couldn't control the out-of-control swarm of Gu worms. If he stayed any longer, he would only be devoured and killed by his own Gu worms.

He cursed angrily, flicked his sleeves, and turned to flee out of the mall, looking utterly disheveled.

Scene from the launch event for the "Shy Flower Cream".

Yet, it was a peaceful scene.

Following Qin Quan's instructions, Ye Qiu handed over all matters to Zhu Hong.

Zhu Hong lived up to expectations, hosting the press conference with ease even in the absence of Qin Quan and Lin Wanrou.

With Song Hongyan and Jiang Yao in the audience, the scene was orderly and without any chaos.

"Such a great product, I'm willing to spend 100 million to secure the provincial capital's exclusive distributorship!"

A wealthy businessman in the audience was the first to raise his hand, appearing very excited.

Zhu Hong smiled calmly and spoke eloquently.

"Thank you for your recognition, sir! Our cooperation model is as follows: 100 million yuan for provincial-level agencies, 50 million yuan for city-level agencies, and 5 million yuan for county-level agencies. All fees are the wholesale price, and the company does not charge any additional agency fees."

As soon as he finished speaking, a detailed agency plan appeared on the big screen.

Next, she specially invited ten girls with freckles on their faces to try out the Xiuhua Cream on the spot.

The effect was immediate; the freckles on the girl's face faded instantly, and her skin became fair and delicate.

The crowd below the stage instantly erupted in excitement, scrambling to grab the agency rights at each level, creating a very lively scene.

Jiang Yao also stood up and said impatiently:

"My Jiang family is willing to offer 300 million to secure the agency rights for the three provinces and cities of Kyoto, Shanghai, and Tianjin!"

brush!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look at Jiang Yao.

There was shock, there was mockery, there was ridicule...

The crowd was in a bad mood, and their eyes were unfriendly.

Kyoto, Shanghai, and Tianjin are top-tier cities in China, offering unlimited business opportunities. To secure agency rights in all three cities at once requires not only money but also authority.

If you have money but no power, you will be utterly humiliated if you enter these three places.

They would be eaten so thoroughly that not even bones would be left.

Zhu Hong quickly stood up to respond.

"Ms. Jiang is a good friend of Mr. Lin, so I cannot make the decision on this matter; it requires Mr. Lin's personal approval. However, I can guarantee that as long as Ms. Jiang has sufficient resources, obtaining the agency rights will not be a problem."

Thank you!

Jiang Yao bowed and thanked him, but she wasn't really interested in the business opportunity of the "Shy Flower Cream"; she was clearly there to support Qin Quan.

She would definitely give her full support to anything her man researched and developed.

Just as she was about to sit down, the smartwatch on her wrist suddenly lit up, and Xiao Yi's cold, mechanical voice came through.

"Urgent Order! A large-scale attack by Gu worms has occurred in the center of Jincheng. All members of Hidden Dragon are ordered to immediately proceed to the scene to handle the situation and apprehend the culprit!"
