Chapter 715: 284 The Newly Emerged Outlaw, Bai Lian’s Confidence!_1
Xiaoqi was busy.
When Bai Lian got into the car with him, he had just finished a call with Zhang Shize.
Zhang Shize had gone to the University of Political Science and Law that afternoon and had just come out, planning to have dinner with Chi Yundai. Bai Lian, with her keen senses, overheard Zhang Shize’s voice—
“Brother Xiaoqi, you do what you think is best, no problem, what’s this, you call this a preemptive defense mechanism! If the Luo Family dares to sue you, that’s just perfect. You can then get several media outlets to say that the Luo Family is afraid of your Xuan Kang’s influence and expand your influence, hehe…”
As a leading domestic pharmaceutical group, the Luo Family had entered into a joint venture with an island nation last year, deliberately driving down the price of Chinese herbs by hoarding them and also had hired a number of veteran traditional Chinese doctors.
Many small Chinese medicine companies domestically could not continue with their business because of this. However, Xiaoqi had traveled to the four major cities last year and started with third-tier small towns, acquiring many endangered pharmaceutical companies that were on the brink of closure and had excess stock.
His recent moves had been bold, bringing Lance to the fore and even releasing a series of shameless soft sell articles.
The Luo Family was beginning to feel unsettled.
Listeining to Zhang Shize’s words, Xiaoqi seemed contemplative and then started talking about the evening’s events, “But I wasn’t really hurt. Xiaowu even injured their people. Wouldn’t demanding a shop be going too far?”
“How much is an hour of your time worth, brother?” On the other end of the phone, Zhang Shize saw Chi Yundai up ahead and raised his eyebrows, “Do you know how much of your time they’ve wasted? Not to mention compensation for emotional distress. One shop is nothing. You should just sue them for three shops’ worth of damages.”
“Alright, my teacher is here, brother Xiaoqi, let’s talk next time, gotta hang up now.”
To not be injured yet demand the other party compensate with a shop?
When he heard such dangerous rhetoric, Bai Lian’s brows twitched momentarily.
She couldn’t help but turn to look at Xiaoqi, beginning to wonder if he hadn’t called her today, would Ren Wanxuan and the Dong Family people still have had to compensate Xiaoqi with a million yuan?
Chi Yundai was clearly a law-abiding good lawyer, so why was Zhang Shize who followed in his wake such a scoundrel?
She stopped in front of the commercial vehicle, wanting to say a few words to Xiaoqi. Jiang Fulai took a cloak from the back seat and handed it to her before getting into the car, not interrupting their conversation.
“Sister,” Xiaoqi put his phone back in his pocket and showed her a piece of paper from his pocket, “This is it.”
Bai Lian reached out and took a slightly yellowed piece of paper.
It was an order form, in English.
Bai Lian looked at it carefully from top to bottom—a transaction for some kind of nerve toxin, though the type of toxin was not specified.
“What is this?” Bai Lian handed the order back to Xiaoqi.
“I don’t know. The dean gave it to me right before she died, saying when she found me, the only thing with me was this crumpled piece of paper. She didn’t understand English, so she kept it for me,” Xiaoqi explained to Bai Lian, “But I think it’s probably garbage.”
But it was one of the few things the dean had left for him, and he had kept it until now.

Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai went straight to the theater because they had dealt with Xiaoqi’s matter and hadn’t had lunch together, so Ming Dongheng picked up a box of pastries as they passed Qingxin Building.
When they arrived at the theater, there were still many fans outside holding banners. Ming Dongheng drove to the back entrance.
Secretary Xue was already backstage to receive the two of them.
There was some distance from the entrance to the main theater. Bai Lian put on a white cape, pure white, with only two crossed green grapevines embroidered on the front, simple and elegant.
Jiang Fulai wore a black minimalist down jacket that reached his knees. The coat didn’t look bulky on his tall and straight figure, but his expression was too stern. Secretary Xue didn’t dare to guess his mood and subconsciously felt that Young Master Jiang was not in a good mood at the moment.
In black and white.
Snapping back to reality, Secretary Xue then led the two through the back entrance to their seats, “Madam Xu and Dean Jian have already arrived early.”
Considering herself a cautious person, her gaze couldn’t help but sneak a peak at Bai Lian along the way.
It was hard to imagine that such an elegant and modest person with excellent academic achievements was the same mysterious composer who had revitalized the Chinese music scene online this year.
Qin Si had even gained a bit of fame because of this.
As the person in charge, Secretary Xue was very aware of Qin Si’s current commercial value.
The theater had arranged for Qin Si to star as the female lead in a national tour. The male lead, Bei Tong, was yet to be confirmed.
The circular seating on both the first and second floors was fully occupied. Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai’s seats were in the front row, where Dean Jian and Gao Yan had already arrived and were chatting quietly in their seats.
At seven o’clock, “Blossoms on the Tree” opened.
Some in the audience had come specifically for Qin Si and the song “Blossoms on the Tree,” unfamiliar with the play format.
