"None left?"
Ye Huan knocked out the last man in black with a slap, asking Lin Wei with a sense of lingering eagerness.
"None left!"
Looking at the unconscious man in black lying at Ye Huan's feet, Lin Wei's cold, peerless face was filled with utter shock.
That was a martial artist who had attained the title of 'War Emperor'! Yet he couldn't even dodge a single slap from Ye Huan and was knocked out cold instantly!
In all her life, Lin Wei had never witnessed such a powerful man.
"Are you a martial artist who has attained the title of 'War Saint'?" Lin Wei could not help but ask.
Warrior, General, Marquess, King, Emperor, Saint, Immortal, God!
In Lin Wei's view, since Ye Huan could knock out a War Emperor with a single slap, he must surely be a War Saint.
As for the realms of War Immortal and War God, Lin Wei hadn't even dared to imagine them!
"Who are you looking down on? Even if a War Saint stood before me, I'd still knock them out with a single slap!" Ye Huan said with supreme confidence.
Lin Wei did not believe it. A War Saint was also known as a Grandmaster, while a War Immortal was known as a Supreme Grandmaster.
The fact that Ye Huan could knock out a War Emperor with a single slap meant he was at least a War Saint, a Grandmaster.
This was already monstrously talented, worthy of being called a martial arts prodigy.
However, to claim that Ye Huan was a War Immortal, a Supreme Grandmaster, was something Lin Wei simply could not believe.
It was utterly impossible!
Yet she did not expose Ye Huan's boastful claim, instead remarking with a sigh:
"Before this, I was fiercely opposed to my father forcing Xixi to marry you because you weren't good enough for her. But now, it seems Xixi isn't good enough for you."
A martial artist who had attained the title of War Saint, a grandmaster of his generation, and yet so young—Lin Xi truly did not measure up to him.
"You have good taste!"
Ye Huan praised her with a smile, then asked:
"Were all these men in black hired by you with money?"
This was hardly surprising. Most martial artists were brash, proud, and arrogant; they looked down on small earnings yet lacked the capability to make a fortune.
Consequently, many martial artists chose to attach themselves to the wealthy in exchange for exorbitant salaries.
However, their loyalty was usually questionable!
"They are all my fellow apprentices, entirely trustworthy!"
Hearing the subtext in Ye Huan's words, Lin Wei replied:
"The Lin family does not know that I am a martial artist. I hope you can help me keep this secret!"
"Then you must tell me what the Research and Development Department is actually researching!" Ye Huan said.
"Very well!"

Lin Wei agreed quite readily this time, mostly because she had no other choice.
Just as she was about to speak, Ye Huan interrupted her:
"Call Elder Lin and Lin Xi here. They have a right to know the secrets of the R&D Department."
Lin Wei hesitated for a moment: "Very well!"
With that, she took out her phone and made separate calls to Lin Tai and Lin Xi, then said to Ye Huan:
"Let's go. We can talk in my office!"
"Alright!"
Ye Huan immediately followed Lin Wei to her office.
It was less of an office and more of a private laboratory belonging to Lin Wei.
Furthermore, it was a laboratory that combined both traditional Chinese and Western medicine!
"Don't go messing around with my things! You won't understand them anyway!"
Seeing Ye Huan rummaging through everything and even opening various bottles and jars to sniff their contents, Lin Wei warned him.
"Right, right, right, I don't understand anything!"
Ye Huan said with a cheerful smile, continuing to rifle through everything as he spoke.
Lin Wei did not stop him.
In her opinion, although Ye Huan possessed formidable martial prowess, the highly specialized medical data, pharmaceuticals, and herbs in her laboratory were things he couldn't possibly comprehend, even if she let him look at them at will.
Before long,
Lin Xi and Lin Tai arrived!
"Ye Huan?"
Seeing Ye Huan inside Lin Wei's office, Lin Xi and Lin Tai were immensely surprised.
To be exact, ever since Lin Wei took charge of the R&D Department, this was their very first time visiting the department and stepping into Lin Wei's office.
It wasn't that they hadn't wanted to come; Lin Wei simply hadn't allowed it.
"How strange. Aunt actually allowed you in here? How did you pull that off?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
"Is there any beauty who doesn't love a handsome man? Perhaps my good looks align precisely with your aunt's aesthetic preferences!" Ye Huan rambled casually.
Lin Wei did not refute him. Instead, she said:
"Dad, Xixi, I asked you both to come here because I am ready to confess the research direction and some of the achievements of the R&D Department."
Lin Tai and Lin Xi felt a violent jolt in their hearts. They cast a startled glance at Ye Huan; without needing to guess, they knew it must have been because of something Ye Huan did that Lin Wei had decided to make a confession to them.
This filled them with immense excitement. As the chairman and president of the Lin Group, they were finally going to learn the inside story of the R&D Department!
"Let me do the talking!" Ye Huan said.
"You?"
Lin Wei was taken aback, asking with bewilderment:
"I haven't even told you yet. What are you going to say?"
"The things in your laboratory have already given me the answers!" Ye Huan shrugged.
Lin Wei was deeply shocked: "You can understand them?"

Lin Xi answered on behalf of Ye Huan: "Aunt, Ye Huan knows medicine."
Lin Wei suddenly felt a sense of having miscalculated, but astonishment overshadowed it all. For Ye Huan to be a martial artist holding the title of War Saint and yet possess medical knowledge as well—that was simply incredible!
"Go ahead and speak, then!"
Lin Wei wanted to see just how much Ye Huan had managed to figure out.
"The Lin Group has offended all of its industry peers—to be precise, it has offended the entire global medical system."
Ye Huan dropped this bombshell with a solemn expression.
Lin Wei's pretty face shifted instantly, filled with inward dismay. Not only had this fellow understood the contents of her laboratory, but he had also deduced the entire picture.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Xi and Lin Tai wore expressions of utter confusion.
"The R&D Department has developed wonder drugs for various diseases, such as a miracle cure for the common cold, a miracle cure for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and so on," Ye Huan explained.
Lin Xi and Lin Tai still did not understand. In their view, developing wonder drugs was a good thing; how could it possibly offend their industry peers?
"Let me give you an example. Let's take the miracle cure for the common cold!"
Ye Huan continued:
"Right now, there is no medicine on the market that can completely cure a cold; they merely alleviate the various symptoms caused by it."
"With so many pharmaceutical companies, medical institutions, and disease research centers around the globe, are they truly incapable of researching a wonder drug that cures a cold?"
"No, it's not that they can't research it. It's that no one is willing to do so."
"Think about it. When there is no cure, once a person catches a cold, they have to buy medications to alleviate the suffering caused by the symptoms—medicines for fever, coughing, headaches, inflammation, and so on."
"If you go to the hospital, you also have to get IV drips—glucose drips, anti-inflammatory drips, and the like—along with hospital admission fees and a whole series of other expenses."
"However, once a wonder drug appears on the market, everyone suffering from a cold will simply buy that cure."
"How are the companies and factories producing traditional cold medicines supposed to make money then?"
"How are hospitals, pharmacies, herb suppliers, wholesalers, processing plants, and even the farmers growing medicinal herbs supposed to make a living?"
Lin Wei added: "By researching these wonder drugs, I am essentially moving everyone's cheese in this entire industry and smashing too many people's rice bowls. How could they possibly allow the Lin Group to continue existing?"
Lin Xi and Lin Tai were both intelligent people, and with the detailed explanations provided by Ye Huan and Lin Wei, they finally understood everything.
They also finally realized why their enemies were trying every possible means to destroy the Lin Group!
"Are you saying that the members of the Anti-Lin Chamber of Commerce are all peers of the Lin Group within the industry?" Lin Xi asked.
"What Anti-Lin Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Tai inquired.
Lin Xi immediately recounted what she knew about the Anti-Lin Chamber of Commerce.
Cold sweat broke out instantly on Lin Tai's back. In his heart, he silently rejoiced that he had managed to secure such an exceptional grandson-in-law as Ye Huan; otherwise, the Lin Group would have been destroyed without even knowing what hit them.
"The specific members of the Anti-Lin Chamber of Commerce are not yet certain, but one thing is for certain: all large and small medical companies and hospitals across the global medical system hold a deep-seated hatred for the Lin Group," Ye Huan stated.
To make an enemy of an entire industry?
Lin Tai and Lin Xi could no longer remain calm!
