Like a farce, Wei Yuan found various exaggerated and clumsy excuses to beat up Davis.
He arranged for Xu Feng to come and pacify the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, hoping to quell the turmoil caused by Wei Yuan's actions, and then drove him away.
The entire process was not only laughable but also ignited the emotions of those present who were instigated by Wei Yuan, leading to a situation that unfolded just as Wei Yuan had planned.
Everything developed very smoothly, like flowing water.
After all, at this point, no one here had any intention of stopping them. The disciples of the Purple Robe Pavilion paid no attention to what Wei Yuan's people were planning to do.
In any case, they were only blocking the reporters outside, and soon under Wei Yuan's arrangement, Flying Eagle began leading his men into the warehouse of Xu Feng's factory.
Most of the disciples of the Purple Robe Pavilion had heard of Flying Eagle's notorious reputation, so they naturally did not want to cross paths with these people.
After all, no matter how skilled you are, you cannot withstand the relentless ambushes of these desperate individuals. It is easy to block a direct attack but hard to guard against hidden threats; no one is invulnerable.
Moreover, Xu Feng and Shen Qingyi were not seen as worthy figures to risk their lives for. No one is a fool; everyone has only one life. Whether or not to take risks depends on whether it is worth it.
At this moment, Wei Yuan fully witnessed the ugly side of human nature. Those whom he had incited—the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers who were owed payments by Xu Feng and feared that Xu Feng's products could harm their company's reputation—now appeared indifferent and detached.
The main issue was that Wei Yuan was overly agitated, making them realize that things had escalated. If the government or individuals pursued responsibility, there was no need for them to bear such a charge.
They were even more afraid that if the problematic drugs in the warehouse had already been moved or destroyed by Xu Feng, they might be bitten back later.
At this moment, if they remained inactive and simply played the role of bystanders while leaving all the troublesome matters to Wei Yuan, they could achieve their goals without being implicated.
The first bird gets shot; even if someone uses this as leverage later on, they could at least shift all responsibility onto Wei Yuan. He was the one who called for this gathering and led the disturbance; they would simply become an uninformed crowd watching from the sidelines.
It is undeniable that this philosophy of self-preservation is something every businessman in China is well-versed in, or at least every adult understands.
At this point, their role has reached its limit. Wei Yuan had already considered this, so in his plan, he would not treat these individuals merely as chips to bolster his momentum.
After all, in this gamble against Xu Feng, Wei Yuan needed to find extra leverage to keep him in check. This group of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers was indeed an indispensable asset.
However, the value of these chips dissipated the moment they left the gambling table; what Wei Yuan needed now was cash, and these individuals clearly did not meet that requirement.
Cash is something that can be readily spent whenever desired. For instance, the group of subordinates under Flying Eagle served this purpose well. At that moment, through a glance exchanged with Wei Yuan, Flying Eagle had already received the information he sought.
Under his direction, his brothers began to storm into Xu Feng's factory warehouse. As expected by Wei Yuan, they indeed managed to seize a considerable amount of drugs from within.
When Wei Yuan undertook this task, he adhered to a principle of swift resolution. Thus, he gathered these people and coordinated with Blue Old Man and Zhang Sheng, accomplishing everything overnight.
Just the previous evening, for safety's sake, when Wei Yuan summoned those Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, he did not clarify the purpose. After all, Xie Ge had already approached them several times before, so it wouldn’t raise any suspicions.
This approach significantly reduced the possibility of leaks. As for Blue Ocean and Liu Haisheng, Wei Yuan still trusted them.
Thus, on the second day, the execution of the plan began. After gathering everyone together, they were taken directly to Xu Feng's factory, catching him completely off guard. Wei Yuan believed he had certainly not made adequate preparations in advance.
In that warehouse of the factory, there had not been enough time for Xu Feng to transfer or destroy the problematic drugs. Therefore, most of the drugs discovered by Flying Eagle were likely those laced with Powdered Cherry Blossom.
Under Flying Eagle's command, his subordinates moved all the drugs out of the warehouse and reported to Wei Yuan: "Everything is here."
Wei Yuan then took out his phone and made a call. Shortly after, a truck drove in. In full view of everyone, Flying Eagle's men loaded all the drugs onto the truck, which then drove away once it was filled.
After finishing everything up, Wei Yuan addressed the gathered Pharmaceutical Manufacturers: "Alright, once the test results for the drugs come out, everything will be clear as day. You may return now."
At this moment, the somewhat outdated-looking fat man who had been shouting earlier, "Since they won't let us live well, why should we let them live well?" now looked pitifully at Wei Yuan and asked, "What about the money we are owed?"
Wei Yuan did not expect that he was still daydreaming at this point, truly believing he could get back the money owed to him from Xu Feng. It was not that simple.
At this moment, under Wei Yuan's gesture, the subordinates of Flying Eagle began to move forward and restrain the disciples of the Purple Robe Pavilion who were blocking the door and preventing reporters from entering.
Seeing that the situation was turning against them, these people naturally lost their will to resist. After a few symbolic gestures, they were completely controlled by Flying Eagle's men.
These reporters were arranged by Zhang Sheng from Jinghai Television Station and naturally knew how to define today's events and how to conduct their interviews.
A long-haired, decent-looking female reporter stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who the main organizer of your actions today is?"
Everyone fell silent, but their gazes unanimously turned toward Wei Yuan. The female reporter was merely going through the motions; in fact, Zhang Sheng had already informed her of Wei Yuan's appearance before she arrived.
After all, among this group of middle-aged men, selecting the youngest and most handsome figure could only lead to Wei Yuan.
Thus, Wei Yuan naturally stepped up and answered directly into the camera, "I wouldn't say I'm an organizer; we are all victims of this incident. We came here simply to protect our rights."
The female reporter expressed sympathy, saying, "Sir, while I personally sympathize with your situation, have you considered that your actions today might be a bit excessive?"
The term "excessive" was particularly skillfully used. Wei Yuan responded smoothly, "I believe it is the factory's boss who is being excessive. We only learned about the ins and outs of this matter from yesterday's reports."
At this moment, Wei Yuan threw the question back out. This was part of his plan from yesterday: to simultaneously publish reports on this incident across major news media outlets and newspapers as well as various online platforms.
He specifically named Xu Feng and accused him of using credit terms to delay payments to various Pharmaceutical Manufacturers. He also seriously suspected that many drug addiction incidents in Jinghai City originated from medications produced by Xu Feng.
Interviews with individuals addicted to those drugs, along with some monologues and personal narratives, are particularly authentic and powerful, prompting all citizens, even people nationwide, to start paying attention to this group. Naturally, people like Xu Feng became targets of public outrage.
Furthermore, there was mention of a Futures Company Fraud Case from six months ago, suggesting that the person who died unjustly back then, Wei Yuan's father, was merely a scapegoat, while the true mastermind was still Xu Feng.
These explosive reports detonated within a single day, instantly capturing the attention of the entire city.
However, the mastermind behind it all, Wei Yuan, faced the camera and expressed his grievances, stating that he only acted impulsively after watching the news about Xu Feng and rushed to confront him at the factory.
He promptly shifted all responsibility away from himself. Under such circumstances, the citizens who saw the reports could only sympathize with Wei Yuan and did not consider his actions excessive.
The female reporter continued to ask, "Given this situation, are you not afraid that they will hold you legally accountable?"
After all, at this point, Xu Feng had not been convicted of debts owed, futures fraud, or drug quality issues; legally speaking, he remained innocent.
Thus, it was very likely that Wei Yuan's mobilization of so many people against Xu Feng's factory could lead to legal repercussions for him.
In response to this question, Wei Yuan appeared even more agitated in front of the camera, with tears almost welling up in his eyes as he said, "At that time, I didn't think so much; I just heard that they had scammed my uncle's money, which is why I acted."
Displaying his grievances effectively garnered sympathy from the public. After all, no one would believe that a twenty-year-old boy could be orchestrating such a scheme.
Wei Yuan continued, "Our main concern was that they would move or destroy those problematic drugs. If that happened, they would escape with our money. Many people have faced similar situations involving my uncle in the past."
"What makes you so sure their drugs have safety issues?"
The female reporter continued to follow her line of questioning.
Wei Yuan had already prepared his response: "Isn't that what your television station reported? We trust your station, which is why we acted."
This statement is even more shameless. The television station is clearly reporting this matter with a tone of skepticism. Although such reporting can easily affect a company's reputation if it turns out to be unfounded.
However, under Wei Yuan's public relations strategy, Zhang Sheng still decided to make a decisive order. If this matter is true, being the first television station to report such a significant case would also be very beneficial.
Now, Wei Yuan confidently claimed that he came here after watching the news on the television station, which left the reporters feeling somewhat amused yet helpless. But he is just a young man; it's normal for his mindset to not be fully mature, isn't it?
"So what will you do next?"
After hearing the female reporter's question, Wei Yuan cleverly replied, "Thanks to this beautiful sister's reminder, we have decided to resolve the issue through legal means. Therefore, these drugs will definitely be handed over to the relevant local authorities for inspection. If there are indeed problems, we believe the government will handle it strictly."
Wei Yuan naturally understood how to speak in front of the television station's cameras. In fact, many people adopt a certain demeanor when they appear on TV.
After all, we have all seen how others behave during interviews and naturally assume that is the proper way to speak. Additionally, some programs provide interviewees with fixed scripts in advance.
Thus, much of what we see as interview content tends to be repetitive. Although this news clearly stands out as one of the most explosive stories in recent times in Jinghai City, Wei Yuan still maintained his composure during the interview.
He knew that the audience's level of acceptance was like this; if he did not present himself seriously during the interview, it would create a sense of distrust among viewers.
Hearing such words from a young man seemed somewhat ironic. However, after being broadcasted by the television station, this matter finally stirred up waves again—this time at tsunami level.
Of course, Wei Yuan could not hand over all the drugs to the so-called relevant authorities for inspection. He had already arranged for part of the drugs to be split off by a truck on its way and handed over to people arranged by Blue Old Man.
Even a computer needs backup data; how could something as significant as this case not have backups?
Wei Yuan could not genuinely expect the government to handle it fairly. It was also easy to dismiss that Xu Feng would not take any crazy actions because of this. Therefore, for those problematic drugs temporarily branded by Xu Feng, Wei Yuan had Blue Old Man prepare a copy.
This was to prevent any unexpected occurrences. As for the local government’s response to Wei Yuan and others boldly entering Xu Feng's factory and taking away goods, it seemed as if they were turning a blind eye.
After all, among these people, some are very famous local Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, and their brands are well-known nationwide, so it is naturally unwise to offend them.
Moreover, with Liu Haisheng and Blue Ocean Group involved, these individuals know exactly what to do. After all, Xu Feng has already become a drowning dog; who would still care about his life or death?
Only Wei Yuan remains vigilant. To prevent Xu Feng from fleeing, Wei Yuan has arranged for Yuan Ziyi's people to monitor him day and night. This surveillance appears somewhat special.
On one hand, it is intended to let Xu Feng know of their presence; on the other hand, they continuously track him, leaving him no way to escape and keeping him in a state of constant fear.
As for Wei Yuan, upon realizing that Xu Feng had begun to suffer from insomnia, he took the opportunity to create various disturbances every beautiful night, making Xu Feng jumpy and unable to sleep.
Day and night, he is tormented as if in an endless hell. This is merely the first step in Wei Yuan's quest for revenge on behalf of his father; next, he intends to ensure that Xu Feng suffers a fate worse than death.
Without Shen Qingyi's protection, Xu Feng has become a lost dog. He understands his situation very well but cannot break free. Before this, he never imagined he would fall at Wei Yuan's hands.
When Xu Feng deceived Wei Yuan's father into taking the blame, he thought of his own father as a genuine farmer with the simplicity of rural life. In his view, this simplicity had many synonyms that could replace it—such as foolishness, naivety, and idiocy.
Thus, when facing off against Wei Yuan, he indeed let his guard down, thinking that since he had toyed with Wei Yuan's father so easily, this inexperienced brat could not possibly come up with anything clever.
Strategy states: Pride leads to defeat.
It was this mindset that caused Xu Feng to fail so thoroughly. He never considered that hatred fueled Wei Yuan's growth and taught him how to strategize against his opponent.
Although the execution of the entire plan was brief—primarily because Wei Yuan believed in cutting through the chaos quickly to avoid further complications—the planning itself took a long time. He combined various hypothetical scenarios and devised different strategies for handling potential developments before daring to act decisively.
Throughout the execution process, cooperation from multiple parties was necessary; for instance, Yuan Ziyi was responsible for monitoring Xu Feng and safeguarding the drugs that were seized.
As for the Blue Old Man, he could no longer continue to pretend to be foolish. He actively contacted several government connections to facilitate the execution of Wei Yuan's plan.
Then there were Liu Haisheng and Flying Eagle; some matters still required the use of force.
Additionally, there was Zhang Sheng. If it weren't for Wei Yuan's sudden whim to test his medical skills, combined with his sympathy and admiration for Zhang Sheng's mother, he wouldn't have gone to treat the elderly woman.
As a result, this friendship was formed. Now, Zhang Sheng completely regarded Wei Yuan as a benefactor. With his connections at the television station, Wei Yuan was able to present such an impressive performance on major city television and newspapers.
Of course, there was also Gu Jing and his group of movie enthusiasts, the members of the Fan Club. It was thanks to their help that Wei Yuan could spread his influence online.
After all, while television had a shocking effect, it was still limited; only people in one region could know about it. However, if all major portals and well-known forums began to repost it, then it could become widely known across the country, even reaching higher authorities.
Wei Yuan put a lot of effort into executing each aspect of this plan and did not dare to be careless.
