Ling Zhenfei glanced at the security department, nodding slightly. He kept pondering about what could truly disrupt him at the base, unless someone set fire to his restaurant; otherwise, the restaurant would surely open.

After thinking for a while without any leads, Ling Zhenfei called Zhou Jian, telling Chen Zhoujian to increase manpower these days and ensure no incidents occur.

Zhou Jian said: "Boss, don't worry, I've already arranged everything. There will absolutely be 24-hour surveillance."

Knowing Zhou Jian's competence, Ling Zhenfei felt much more at ease.

Having experienced incidents like burning the greenhouse and poisoning ornamental fish, Ling Zhenfei knew preventive measures were necessary.

In the evening, Ling Zhenfei went with Jiang Hui to the small house rented by He Lingxiu. He had another important task: the batch of medicines for Ji Mei needed immediate shipment.

The Xuantian Immortal Water was simple: just extract the water from the Xuantian Spirit Spring Pot, add some clean water, and then distribute it into small bottles.

The only somewhat challenging task was making elixirs like the Beauty Pill, which required refinement.

To produce more elixirs, Ling Zhenfei always increased the quantity of herbs with each batch. Even so, each furnace could only make hundreds of pills.

After refining dozens of batches of elixirs, Ling Zhenfei felt quite exhausted. Despite abundant spiritual energy, it couldn't be squandered like this.

Finally, after packing the refined elixirs into small bottles, Ling Zhenfei could take a break.

However, Jiang Hui was still busy packaging the medicines, which needed to be shipped to Ji Mei the next day. Ling Zhenfei's involvement ended here.

Standing by the window, Ling Zhenfei gazed at Binyang's night scenery, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The distant sky was slightly dim, hinting at an impending heavy snowstorm with an intangible force approaching.

Jiang Hui finished packaging and then walked over to the bed, hugging Ling Zhenfei from behind.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Nothing much. I just have some concerns about tomorrow. I feel Qin Lan will still cause trouble."

"Qin Lan is really nasty despite her good looks," Jiang Hui said angrily.

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Let's worry about tomorrow's problems tomorrow."

"Yes, why worry needlessly," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

Ling Zhenfei took out a card and handed it to Jiang Hui: "Here's a card with one million inside. After shipping the medicines tomorrow, go look for a house and buy a place you think is good."

This card was given as a reward for treating kidney failure in the Provincial City. Now, with one million, Jiang Hui could buy a house in Binyang — although not a big one, it would suffice since Binyang wasn't a first-tier city.

"Why suddenly decide to buy a house?" Jiang Hui said, accepting the card.

Ling Zhenfei replied: "I'm without a house of my own in Binyang now. Though I don't lack places to stay — even opting for Xi Shan Restaurant — you don't have a place, and I can't keep letting you stay at Xi Shan Restaurant without feeling secure."

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away with your money?" Jiang Hui asked teasingly.

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Doesn't matter, the money is already yours."

Jiang Hui smiled: "Then tomorrow you'll find I'm gone."

Ling Zhenfei said: "If I'm not seeing you tomorrow, shouldn't I collect some interest tonight?"

Surprised, Jiang Hui got picked up and tossed onto the bed by Ling Zhenfei.

Clearly understanding Ling Zhenfei's intention, Jiang Hui protested: "Don't, honey, I can't tonight."

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Don't lie to me; I know your timing."

Soon, the two fell onto the bed, engaged in passionate moments, and the room echoed with sounds of intimacy.

Early the next morning, while still cultivating Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, Ling Zhenfei was startled by a ringing phone. Checking, he found it was Zhou Yun calling.

Nervously answering: "Hello, sis, what's the matter?"

A concerned Zhou Yun replied: "Something's wrong, Zhenfei has met with an incident."

Ling Zhenfei was gravely alarmed, anticipating issues today but not expecting this early trouble.

"What happened, sis? Speak slowly."

Zhou Yun said: "Go online quickly; someone is targeting our Xishan Manor."

Deeply worried, Ling Zhenfei hung up and went online on his phone.

As soon as he logged into Weibo, countless messages popped up, with fans tagging him massively.

Opening a random message, Ling Zhenfei was stunned — it was a video detailing everything about Xishan Manor.

The video started by talking about Xishan Manor's owner, Ling Zhenfei, mentioning his difficult upbringing, his university education funded by his sister-in-law, and his struggles post-graduation, including being laid off.

The most bizarre claim was that he never studied medical arts, with interviews from Qinghe Village residents supporting this.

As the villagers apparently trusted the videomakers, they disclosed everything, confirming Ling Zhenfei never studied medical arts.

The village also lacked medical expertise, relying on barefoot doctors for treatment. Ling Zhenfei neither studied medical arts nor graduated from medical schools, raising suspicion.

Interviewees included Ling Zhenfei's adversaries like Wang Changhe and Liu Erdan, who harshly critiqued him.

They mentioned Ling Zhenfei's ambiguous relationship with his sister-in-law, shady land contracts, abandonment of his childhood friend He Lingxiu leading to her suicide attempt, among other accusations.

Viewers unfamiliar with Ling Zhenfei, after watching the video, would likely want to kill him.

After discussing Ling Zhenfei, the video moved to Xishan Manor, detailing its development and the distinct taste of its vegetables.

To substantiate the unique flavor claims, the video makers filmed inside Xishan Manor's greenhouse, capturing workers and their tasks, leaving Ling Zhenfei shocked by their access.

Quickly, the focus shifted to the reason behind Xishan Manor's distinct vegetables.

"Why do vegetables from Xishan Manor taste different? Why do they seem exceptionally delicious? We performed extensive research and finally discovered the reason.
