Chapter 1864 — How to Respond

Still, he wasn't especially surprised. From the very appearance of a man like You Shisan, it was clear the Kang family must have other forces behind them, so their rapid rise was hardly strange.
"Indeed, I was surprised too," Fat Lai said with a nod. "And the key problem is, the prices are frighteningly cheap. We have so few products, there's no way we can match their all-out promotional blitz..."
"Get me one of each of their products. I'll take them back and study them," Wei Zhao said after a moment's thought.
"Officer Song, would you mind pulling over at any pharmacy? I'll run in and buy a few products!" With that, Fat Lai added to Wei Zhao, "Practically every pharmacy carries their products."
"All right. But since we're all Wei Zhao's friends, just call me Lingshan—calling me that makes us sound like strangers," Qiu Lingshan said.
"Haha, fair enough!" Fat Lai didn't protest. Since everyone here was close to Wei Zhao, getting better acquainted could only be a good thing.
Qiu Lingshan found a pharmacy and parked the car. Fat Lai got out to do his shopping and returned before long carrying a bag. He climbed back in and handed the bag to Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao flipped through it casually and noticed many identical items, which puzzled him. "Why buy so many?"
"Some were buy-one-get-one, some buy-two-get-one, and there were free samples too—can't say no to free, so I brought them all back," Fat Lai said with a helpless shrug. "Their promotional tactics are formidable."
"Fine. I'll study them when I get back," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
Returning once more to the villa they had been away from so long, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both felt as though they had crossed into another world.
When they had led Wei Zhao, General Weiwu, and Tianlei Zhu out of this villa that day, they had thought they would never come back—that this place would become someone else's domain. Yet before long, here they were again.
"Why is it such a mess?" The moment Wei Zhao stepped inside, he saw all sorts of boxes piled up in the living room.
"These are the things from Xiaoshu's villa. The deed to her villa is also in my father's name..." Gu Mengyao then recounted how An Liwen had left the villa to her.
"So that's how it is. Well, since they've been moved here, find a place and put them away one by one—don't send them back," Wei Zhao said with a nod. "We'll be heading to Donghai City for school soon anyway, so a few more things here won't hurt. Wu Chengtian, help Yaoyao and Xiaoshu sort through the belongings. I'm going to study the products Fat Lai bought... Oh, right—General Weiwu and Tianlei Zhu are still at Granny Sun's place."
"Mm... oh, right, the car's still under the overpass. Shall I go with you to get it back?" Gu Mengyao said.
"Have Wu Chengtian go with you. I wouldn't feel at ease otherwise," Wei Zhao said.
"Understood, boss!" Wu Chengtian went off with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to retrieve the car and bring General Weiwu and Tianlei Zhu home.
Wei Zhao, meanwhile, went into his room, poured all of Kang the Divine Physician's products Fat Lai had bought onto the table, and began studying them one by one.
The first thing Wei Zhao opened was Kang the Divine Physician's wound medicine. This wound medicine felt noticeably different from the old one—indeed, its formula was entirely unlike the previous Kang the Divine Physician's wound medicine. It was more like a cut-rate version of Wei Zhao's own trauma medicine!
