Chuan City First Hospital.
Yang Ling’s face was pale as if he had endured something terrifying the night before; he was nearly exhausted.
Forcibly fed a plate of pastries by Mo Han, his stomach nearly burst.
After being taken to the hospital for gastric lavage, an enema, and even bloodletting, he finally felt a bit better.
Now, lying in the hospital bed, everything seemed like pastries to him.
His mind was already twisted with dark thoughts.
“Bastard! I want him dead!”
He gritted his teeth and snarled fiercely.
At last night’s banquet, Mo Han and Li An’an had humiliated him mercilessly, causing him to lose all face in front of so many people.
He had originally intended to use his charm to win over Li An’an and take control of Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals, but now, he no longer had the patience.
“Young master, the men are ready,” the driver stood aside, his face flushed, reporting the news.
Yang Ling had already summoned two experts from the Yang family—martial arts masters recruited at great expense from the Jianghu world!
“Tell them to come quickly!”
Yang Ling said coldly, “I can’t wait another moment!”
If he didn’t kill Mo Han, he wouldn’t be able to swallow this grudge.
And that Li An’an—pretending to be pure, a filthy bitch—once she was in his grasp, he would make her life a living hell!
He stood up, feeling emptiness in his stomach but still unable to eat anything.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Ling said coldly, “No more hiding when it comes to Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals. I want them to watch their own destruction helplessly!”
“Immediately invite the chairmen of enterprises in the same industry in Chuan City. Tell them the Yang family is giving them a chance!”
“Yes!”
Soon after,
In a conference room of a five-star hotel,
Yang Ling changed into an expensive suit, but his face remained bloodless.
He sat there, his eyes cold like a venomous snake, no longer the charming and arrogant man he once was.
Present were representatives from the same industry in Chuan City—manufacturers, distributors, and many closely tied to Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals.
Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals was flourishing in Qian City, with agents in several surrounding provinces and cities.
Chuan City was no exception, and there were many agents here.
This was also one reason Mo Han chose Chuan City as the first city for the company’s expansion.
“I don’t want to waste words. Let’s get straight to the point,”
Yang Ling glanced around and snorted coldly, “There are two paths before you.”
“First, cooperate with the Yang family. You will all have the opportunity to enter the Southwest market. The Yang family will support you.”
“Second, continue cooperating with Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals. But your goods and channels will not go beyond Sichuan Province.”

Hearing this, the crowd’s expressions instantly changed.
They were being forced to choose one of two options, but both led to dead ends!
If they chose Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals, their goods and channels couldn’t even reach the provincial capital of Sichuan, let alone develop further.
If they chose the Yang family, it meant betraying Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals.
They had earned a lot cooperating with Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals recently.
This was not a choice; it was like being placed on the chopping block instantly!
“Um… Young Master Yang, what do you mean by this?”
“Yes, this is too overbearing. The industry needs development; it can’t be done this way.”
“Exactly. Young Master Yang, you can cooperate with Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals too. Why do something so self-destructive?”
“Bang!”
Yang Ling slammed the table fiercely, shouting, “The Yang family will not cooperate with Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals. Only one can survive! Decide for yourselves!”
This was a blatant threat!
Yang Ling didn’t care about others’ opinions, his gaze cold and merciless.
“The Yang family and Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals—make your choice. Once chosen, the outcome will follow.”
How arrogant!
“I say, no one doubts the Yang family’s strength enough to block you within Sichuan Province!”
Indeed, no one doubted the power of the Yang family in this industry. The Yang family was the leader in the Southwest region. Although Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals was growing rapidly, it still lagged far behind the Yang family.
After all, in their eyes, Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals was just starting out.
To catch up to a giant like the Yang family would take time.
Almost without thinking, everyone knew what choice to make.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals’ stronghold was in Qian City,
while Chuan City was the Yang family’s territory.
Almost everyone believed that if these two giants clashed, Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals would suffer a crushing defeat.
However, Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals was not to be trifled with.
Rumor had it that in Qian City, Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals was on track to replace the Chen family as the top enterprise, so no one dared to offend them there.
But if they sided with the Yang family, they would only lose a bit in Chuan City but gain access to the vast markets outside.
If they chose Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals, it would be a death sentence for their business!
The Yang family would block their enterprises within Chuan City, not allowing them to step beyond.
For a time, many hesitated.
This was a matter of survival for their companies. It was no longer about contracts or personal feelings.
“Young Master Yang, this is too much!”
Someone suddenly stood amid the crowd, anger flashing in his eyes.
“Just because of your personal grudge, you want to drag us all down. As if we offended you!”

Yang Ling looked up, seemingly with no memory of him.
“Who do you think you are, questioning me?”
“I am Li Long, chairman of Huishi Group!”
Li Long’s face was flushed with fury.
His factory had barely been revived because Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals had allowed them to become a sub-agent, saving them.
Now, the Yang family’s actions were forcing him to betray Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals.
How could he betray a company that had saved him?
If he did, what would the grateful workers in the factory think? They would see Huishi Group as ungrateful and treacherous.
“Huishi Group?”
Yang Ling sneered, “Never heard of it. I don’t think you’ll exist much longer.”
“You…”
Li Long was furious, pointing at Yang Ling but speechless.
“It’s too late for you to choose the Yang family now. I don’t want you.”
Yang Ling smiled coldly. “Get lost. Since you support Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals, then perish with them.”
Li Long trembled with rage but was helpless.
Compared to the Yang family, he was just an ant, easily crushed!
He clenched his fists in anger, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
“Anyone else?”
Yang Ling stood, slammed the table again, “If anyone else wants to support Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals, leave now!”
Then he picked up his phone and dialed.
“Cut off all business channels of Huishi Group in Chuan City. I want them bankrupt within a day!”
His voice was deliberately loud, intimidating the entire room!
Those who dared to oppose him faced immediate ruin!
“I... I choose the Yang family.”
“I choose the Yang family too.”
“Hope Young Master Yang will favor us.”
There was no choice. Facing the Yang family’s dominance, they could only submit.
Watching the crowd declare their allegiance, a ruthless gleam appeared in Yang Ling’s eyes:
I want to see how Xiao Xiao Pharmaceuticals can survive in Chuan City without these partners and channels!
