"Try your sister!"
Lü Yang trembled with anger.
"My sister?" Luo Ling was confused, "Isn't my sister your niece? Didn't you try her last time? What, you want to try again? No problem, I can arrange it."
A group of people stared blankly at Lü Yang, their mouths agape, their eyes nearly popping out.
Lü Yang is really a beast, he doesn't even let his own niece go?
Damn it, someone like this is even worse than a beast, what can't he do?
In front of everyone, Lü Yang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot; he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
"Stop spouting nonsense and wake up!"
Slap!
A resounding slap flew out, sending Luo Ling two meters away, face-first into the ground, breaking two of his teeth.
In an instant of severe pain, Luo Ling awakened, realizing the situation he was in, cold sweat pouring out.
The remaining team leaders were also awakened, and upon seeing their surroundings, they all broke out in cold sweat.
"Speak, what on earth happened today? Why did you have a conflict with the Alchemy Pavilion?"
Several deputy directors didn't bother with Lü Yang anymore; one deputy director surnamed Wu stepped forward and interrogated.
Luo Ling and the others knew they had caused trouble and timidly explained the sequence of events. To evade responsibility, they occasionally brought up Qin Fen and the Qin family in their words.
"Uncle, we also didn't know the situation. We thought with the Qin family's young master around, and the Li family, plus the Alchemy Pavilion's Mu Xun in charge, there shouldn't be any problems."
Bang!
A kick landed hard, and Lü Yang's anger exploded.
"Qin family's young master? What the hell is that? Now the Alchemy Pavilion has come knocking, don't even mention that Qin Fen, even if the head of the Qin family came, it wouldn't help. You can seek death if you want, but don't drag the Division into this!"
Kicked to the ground, Luo Ling didn't dare to argue, his face full of despair as he said, "Uncle, we were just following the Division's regulations to dismantle illegal buildings, it’s not random chaos, the Alchemy Pavilion has no reason to cause us trouble."
"Regulations? Regulations my foot! Do you have any proper documents? Did you go through me? Even if you did, if the Alchemy Pavilion wants to deal with us, they can do it whenever they want; what reason do they need? Is your brain full of shit?"
After a brutal beating, several of them were left bloodied, and Lü Yang's heart was filled with rage.
The other deputy directors felt icy all over, their eyes dark with a murderous intent.
This was clearly the Qin family and the Li family looking for trouble to deal with the Zhang family. These idiots had no idea of the situation and still rushed to flatter them. Now, they had offended the Alchemy Pavilion instead.
They really had no brains at all. What right did the Division have to intervene in the feuds between the noble families of the capital?
Did they really think they could bully others just because they were used to being arrogant?
"What should we do now?"
Understanding the situation, Lü Yang and the others sat back down, the urgent matter was to resolve the issue.
All night, the Division discussed countermeasures. The safest bet was to find someone within the Alchemy Pavilion to probe for information and understand the situation inside.
It must be said, after years of being stationed at the Division, Lü Yang and Director Wu indeed had decent connections; they could reach out to various influential figures.
Among them, Director Wu had a familiar person at the Alchemy Pavilion, a first-grade alchemist.
Moreover, he was mainly responsible for managing high-level medicinal materials, holding a significant position within the Alchemy Pavilion.
Early in the morning, Director Wu set up a banquet and invited the other party over.
"Master Jia, I'm ashamed, I was careless and offended your Alchemy Pavilion, I’m at fault."
As soon as Director Wu saw him, he expressed his guilt.
This first-grade alchemist was surnamed Jia, named Jia Fang; he had been acquainted with Director Wu for many years. At this moment, he merely shook his head and sighed, "Director Wu, what can I say? It's nothing personal, but why is your Division meddling in our Alchemy Pavilion's affairs? This time, your Division has really stirred up a huge mess."
