The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Suddenly, someone looked up and said, "Could it be a creature of the same kind as Blackie?"

"Blackie?"

"It's that black guy who was all the rage on the first floor last month. He suddenly appeared in the dungeon, and we couldn't get any information about him either. Because he never hurt anyone and could come and go freely, the guild has currently classified him as a neutral creature..."

Before he could finish speaking, a guard rushed in from outside.

"Captain! We've found the super-strength pill the guild was talking about!"

"What!?"

Yan Quan immediately rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "Where are you!?"

"It's...it's right here..."

"say!"

"Inside the factory of Qiangjian Technology!"

The guard was startled and shouted through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Zhang Mengli and her old butler exchanged glances, their faces turning grim.

----------

"Hey, hey, hey, I heard those counterfeit and substandard medicines are manufactured by Qiangjian Technology!"

"Really? You mean this was all orchestrated by J&K?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe it was done by employees who secretly collaborated with illegal organizations."

Immediately, onlookers offered various opinions and began to discuss the matter.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan could only laugh.

Where did this scoundrel's information come from? He's probably fallen for the Undying Society's trap. Those bastards must have made the Power Pill.

But I specifically asked Xiong Xiaoqiu about it.

Trying to spread this kind of information to confuse the public is simply a pipe dream.

Just as she was thinking this, a group of people rushed hurriedly towards the Potions Capital from the ruins. Their panicked expressions didn't seem like they were acting.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jinxuan's head was buzzing.

Could it really be Qiangjian Technology? The Undying Society has taken over another's factory? Besides the factory in the undeveloped area, did they also use Qiangjian Technology's factory?

All sorts of questions forced her to follow the paparazzi.

A first-line melon, you'd be a fool not to eat it.

"Shh...shh..."

The paparazzi were quick, and soon Bai Jinxuan followed the union to the 'crime scene'.

A blonde girl arrogantly pointed at the room full of "power pills" in the factory and said to Zhang Mengli, "I never expected you to be so vicious, not only colluding with illegal organizations but also cruelly harming your own employees!"

"Sun Ya! What evidence do you have that we did it?"

Zhang Mengli retorted angrily, which made Sun Ya chuckle.

She clapped her hands in front of the paparazzi and said confidently, "Wouldn't it be clear once the union investigates?"

"In that case, then don't block the way."

Yan Quan had no interest in their conflict whatsoever; he was there to investigate the organization, and he didn't want to listen to this little brat's rambling on and on.

He gestured to the investigation team behind him, then gritted his teeth and charged in.

Seeing this, Sun Ya and Zhang Mengli followed, followed by onlookers and Bai Jinxuan.

Although Bai Jinxuan didn't know who Sun Ya was, she knew who her subordinates were—the insignia on their clothes was clearly Longchuan Sterilization!

Good heavens, the two major investors at the sports meet are fighting amongst themselves.

That makes sense, they are competitors after all, it's normal for the other to kick someone when they're down.

After following them for a while, Bai Jinxuan felt something was wrong.

The factory workers were all at a loss, huddled to one side. Following their gaze, they saw box after box of "power pills" piled up in a corner of a warehouse.

Continuing forward, in a room at the far end of the corner, they discovered the long-lost source of life.

It was soaking in the pool, next to a half-finished "power pill".

"Look! I never expected that Qiangjian Technology would have dealings with terrorist organizations. They even managed to produce drugs with such safety risks. I wonder if their other drugs are also laced with all sorts of weird stuff?"

Sun Ya smugly provoked the employees of Qiangjian Technology. Seeing that Zhang Mengli was too angry to speak, the old housekeeper stepped forward.

"Ms. Sun, nothing is set in stone yet. Isn't it inappropriate for you to spread such biased statements?"

"What do you mean by bias? I'm just telling the truth. If you were all so innocent, why would you need to pay attention to those rumors?"

"Alright! Stop sending them, okay? It's so annoying!"

Yan Quan cursed, then immediately issued orders to his men to investigate the factory's recent activities.

He then ordered everyone else to stay away from the scene, and sent people to seal off the factory to prevent employees from escaping.

Finally, he found an employee who looked like he was in charge.

Before he could speak, the employee knelt down with a thud.

"I really don't know anything. We just produce life-saving medicines. Who knew that all of this would suddenly appear in the warehouse with so many unfamiliar pills?"

"Really, I swear to God, I don't know anything about that terrorist organization! Miss, you have to believe me!"

Seeing his tearful face, Yan Quan clicked his tongue and said calmly, "Then tell us everything you know, and after we verify it, we will give you justice."

"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

Volume 1: Chapter 58: The Girl Setting Off Fireworks

"You mean you're at work, enjoying a nice meal of hot pot and singing karaoke, and then suddenly the guards discover you're carrying prohibited drugs?"

“That’s right, every word I’ve said comes from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no deception in it.”

Yan Quan's brow twitched slightly. He raised his hand in mid-air and said to his subordinates, "Catch them first."

Upon hearing this, the man was terrified and kept kowtowing, but to no avail. In the union, someone who chooses to let a suspect go out of personal mercy will not be able to sit in this position.

He was quickly dragged away.

The situation reached a stalemate, with everyone waiting for the union's investigation team to arrive and collect evidence. Only Bai Jinxuan rubbed her chin, sensing that something was amiss.

She slipped behind the group of employees waiting to be dealt with and saw a young woman trembling in a corner.

"How could this happen? I'll go to jail..."

"Sigh, how did you all end up getting addicted to illegal drugs?"

Hearing Bai Jinxuan complain like this, the female employee replied with a wronged look, "I don't know either. The medicine we produced today suddenly turned into those pills. Everyone thought it was a new product. Before long, the garrison came knocking on our door."

"Suddenly? With so many eyes watching in your factory, how could it be sudden? You're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? Our factory has always been the best among several factories. In all these years, when has it ever had a problem?"

Bai Jinxuan thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Was it discovered by the garrison? When did the sterilized people from Longchuan arrive?"

"I don't know. What do you mean by 'Longchuan sterilization'? You mean that little girl? The garrison only discovered her recently, right?"

Goodness, I knew something was wrong. That girl named Sun Ya, the guards had just spotted her when she arrived, right?

I don't believe this isn't a stakeout.

Plus, that bastard garrison commander already had problems...

She felt she was very close to the truth: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If the defenders on the second floor were so eager to target Qiangjian Technology, then they were probably innocent.

On the contrary, Longchuan Sterilization is so good at seizing opportunities, he must have something to do with the Undying Secret Society. Why are those scoundrels able to sell drugs so fiercely at the school? They might be involved.

Trying to distort the truth and confuse the public? Dream on! I'll expose you all.

She walked out of the factory and looked around.

Although I don't know how the garrison and Longchuan sterilization team managed to get the "power pills" into Qiangjian Technology's factory so quietly, once I've decided they're the culprits, what I need to do is simple.

We just need to find the traces of their substitution.

You can fool others, but can you fool me? You betrayed my trust long ago!

Bai Jinxuan left the crowd and walked around the factory, trying to find some clues. As a result, she actually stumbled upon a very suspicious place.

That's the transport vehicle from Qiangjian Technology.

Before the garrison could stop them, Longchuan Jueyi had already impounded the vehicles.

Come to think of it, they don't have any spatial artifacts, so it's impossible for them to conjure medicine out of thin air. To deliver medicine to the factory, they must have some means of transportation.

The transport vehicle is the primary means of transportation here. As long as there is a mole within Qiangjian Technology, he can easily drive the goods mixed with the "power pills" into the warehouse.

With this in mind, Bai Jinxuan made up her mind and immediately took action.

If it's haunted, we'll just go in and take a look.

The transport vehicle from Qiangjian Technology is huge, with its outer walls made of top-grade materials, and it is also equipped with attack devices. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a war machine. It's unrealistic to try to get in by brute force under the noses of so many people.

Unfortunately, there was nowhere in this world that could stop Bai Jinxuan's steps. With simple, unadorned movements, she was already inside the train carriage.

The lantern was lit, and a strong medicinal smell wafted out; at first glance, it looked like a life-saving potion.

Am I wrong...?

She pinched her nose, took a few seconds to familiarize herself with the environment, and then walked in, sniffing as she went.

As a seasoned pharmacy vendor, she is extremely sensitive to the smell of various medicines. Just by smelling them, she can tell whether a medicine is pure, expired, or adulterated.

After walking a few steps, she smelled an unusual odor. Following the scent, she lit a lantern and discovered a box of neatly arranged life-saving potions.

Want to lie to me?

Bai Jinxuan snorted softly. Appearances can lie, but smells can't. This thing is a life potion, so she'll just eat it.

She curled the corners of her lips into a smile, reached out, and tried to take out a bottle, but before her hand could even touch it, it was blocked.

Thin... sticky...

What the hell?

With a sudden grab, she ripped off a piece of cloth, and lying under it was the Power Pill.

Good heavens, a disguised cloth? So that's how they hid the "power pills" in Qiangjian Technology's warehouse! Luckily I discovered it. Longchuan Sterilization is really daring, doing it on Qiangjian Technology's vehicle...

Suddenly, Bai Jinxuan noticed the company logo inside the carriage and fell silent.

This is the transport vehicle for sterilization in Longchuan.

They disguised themselves as a high-tech vehicle, went inside to administer the power pills, and then came out to remove the camouflage, legitimately taking the remaining power pills back with them...

So that's how it is! The source of life, and that room, must have also had this cloth covered on the door, and then the production source was secretly replaced.

Hmph, you've got some skills, but you've run into me. I'll open the door, administer the power pill, and you'll be finished.

As for this half-cartload of life-saving potions, consider it my payment.

Bai Jinxuan patted the treasure chest on her chest and put all the life potions around her into it. The entire transport vehicle instantly became empty, with the front half of the chest of potions gone.

Immediately afterwards, she took out her telekinetic sword, dug a hole in the roof of the car, and just enough to wed the box containing the super pills.

After doing all this, she placed a small Meow Meow grenade on the empty transport vehicle, then slipped under the vehicle, crept into the shadows, quickly climbed onto the roof next to it, and covered her ears with her hands.

"boom--!"

Like setting off firecrackers, the Meow Meow grenade blasted the entire transport vehicle into the air.

The pill stuck on the roof of the car scattered like sparks from fireworks.

A mocking cat avatar appeared in mid-air, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the factory.

Hey everyone, wishing you all a Happy New Year in advance!

Bai Jinxuan sat on the edge of the eaves, took out a small tomato from her pocket, tossed it into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then swallowed it with a "glug".
