Chapter 21

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fu Yiming didn't hide his intentions and said, "Yes, it's her."

Then he continued in a commanding tone, "I'll give you five thousand yuan, and you'll transfer it to me."

He knew that the Jiang Family was not giving Jiang Moxi any allowance, so she had been doing part-time jobs.

In his mind, five thousand yuan should be a considerable sum for a student like Jiang Moxi, who was always doing part-time work.

He expected her to willingly hand over the SereniFlex Pill.

To his surprise, Jiang Moxi replied, "I do have the SereniFlex Pill, but I don't want to sell it."

The rare and precious ingredients required to make the SereniFlex Pill far exceeded five thousand yuan.

Besides, she was not willing to deal with him, someone who treated her disrespectfully.

"What about ten thousand yuan? Developing the SereniFlex Pill's formula could turn the pharmaceutical company, founded jointly by the Jiang and Fu families, into a resounding success."

After Fu Yiming and Jiang Weiwei's marriage was settled, both families invested in a new pharmaceutical company to strengthen their relationship.

Now, everything was in place, but they needed a powerful drug to stand out from other pharmaceutical companies.

Upon learning about Jiang Moxi possessing the SereniFlex Pill, Jiang Weiwei set her sights on obtaining it.

"The SereniFlex Pill has significant side effects. If the dosage is not controlled properly, it can lead to infertility, making it unsuitable for mass production," Jiang Moxi said coldly.

But Fu Yiming sneered, "What do you know? Just sell it to me."

The SereniFlex Pill was rumored to be the top beauty product, capable of producing flawless skin and a captivating fragrance.

With proper development, marketing, and utilization, it could undoubtedly become a bestseller worldwide, bringing immense profits to the pharmaceutical company.

Unfortunately, their thoughts didn't align, and Jiang Moxi felt that they were not on the same wavelength.

So, she straightforwardly stated, "I won't sell the pill to you, so don't bother me anymore."

With that, she stood up and left.

Fu Yiming was infuriated.

It was the first time he took the initiative to invite her out, but she didn't show any gratitude and didn't hand over the SereniFlex Pill to him, not accepting even a single penny!

With such an attitude, did she really expect him, Fu Yiming, to marry her?

The more he thought about it, the angrier Fu Yiming became.

He watched her retreating figure and coldly sneered, "We'll see. I will make sure you obediently hand over the SereniFlex Pill to me."

In the evening, Jiang Moxi went to work her night job again.

Upon knowing Jiang Moxi was at work, Yu Dingding came to find her immediately.

"Are you really okay? Did Third Master Fu do anything to you?"

Yu Dingding, being experienced in the nightlife scene, had seen many things.

As she watched the surveillance video from last night, she couldn't help but feel like she was witnessing a knife slicing through an electric wire, with sparks flying in all directions. The scene left a vivid impression on her mind.

Jiang Moxi shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm perfectly fine. Do you see any missing limbs?"

"Third Master Fu isn't a butcher in a slaughterhouse. Of course, you wouldn't have any missing limbs. What I meant was... did you suffer any losses?"

If Yu Dingding didn't know that Jiang Moxi was actually stunningly beautiful, she wouldn't have been so worried.

Jiang Moxi replied awkwardly, "No."

If anyone suffered losses, it was Third Master Fu. After all, he had put in so much effort last night.

But Jiang Moxi didn't want to dwell on this pointless topic with Yu Dingding, so she handed her a small bag of pills.

"These are to be taken once a day, five small pills each time, after meals."

"New SereniFlex Pills?"

Yu Dingding took the pills and examined them, but she couldn't tell what they were for.

"Not really. Let's call them Baldness Begone Pills for now. They ensure that you won't go bald."

Yu Dingding immediately lit up, "That's amazing! You finally developed it. How much is it? I'll get cash for you after work."

"No need. Consider it a friend's gift."

"Well, thank you, Moxi." Yu Dingding smiled back at her, understanding that Jiang Moxi had truly accepted her as a friend.

Ever since the downfall of the Yu family, not to mention her old friends, even her best friends of more than ten years treated her like a stranger.

After being forced to enter the nightlife scene in Yan City, she had no friends left.

Even the waitresses in the clubs avoided talking to her, afraid that she might corrupt them.

For a long time, she wandered alone.

Even when she had time to go out shopping, she did it all by herself.

She once thought that the rest of her life would be spent on a long and lonely journey.

But now, it seemed that fate had some mercy, allowing Jiang Moxi to willingly accept her as a friend.

Jiang Moxi seemed to perceive the mixed emotions in Yu Dingding's heart and smiled. "When you're free, let's go out and have fun together."

"Sure."

At that moment, Jiang Moxi's earpiece transmitted the voice of the team leader, Li Qin, "Moxi, go to Room 148 on the first floor and deliver two bottles of Black Spade Champagne."

Yu Dingding was also called away by the manager, and their conversation had to be temporarily put on hold.

--

Following Li Qin's instructions, Jiang Moxi went to Room 148.

However, after knocking on the door for a while, there was no response from inside the room. Although the door was not locked, there was a slight gap.

Peering through the gap, Jiang Moxi saw that the lights inside the room were off, making it pitch dark, and she couldn't be sure if anyone was inside.

Just then, Li Qin's urging voice came through the intercom, "Moxi, has the alcohol been delivered to Room 148? The guests are getting impatient."

"It's on its way."

Without hesitation, Jiang Moxi pushed open the door and brought the drinks inside, "Guests, your drinks have arrived."

Taking advantage of the dim lighting in the corridor outside the room, Jiang Moxi intended to place the drinks on the table and leave.

But as soon as she set down the drinks, the door suddenly closed.

"Who's there?"

In the pitch-black environment, Jiang Moxi couldn't see her own hand in front of her face, but she heard the sound of the private room door being locked from the outside.

Were they people from the Di City?

Or...

"Scared now, huh? It's too late now, you little bitch," a man stated in the darkness.

The voice wasn't familiar, and Jiang Moxi couldn't determine which group the person belonged to.

But she heard footsteps approaching her.

Without delay, she squatted down and made a sweeping kick around herself!

Soon, she heard the sound of someone stumbling and falling.

As the person got up, he continued to threaten, "You dare to use dirty tricks on me again? If I don't cripple you today, my name isn't Chen!"

Chen?

Jiang Moxi carefully recalled, but there were no enemies named Chen from either the Nightless City or the other side.

So, this person didn't belong to either group, and she released her hold on him.

Without waiting for the person to make another move, Jiang Moxi followed the sound of his voice and grabbed him, executing a shoulder throw.

"Jiang Moxi, you hit me again! You're looking for death..."

The man was unwilling to admit defeat and continued to rant.

The more he cursed, the more fiercely Jiang Moxi fought back.

After more than ten minutes, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the private room.

Yu Na's voice followed, "Guest, your fruit platter is here."

Jiang Moxi was tired from the fight and let go, going to open the door.

Seeing Jiang Moxi panting, Yu Na was a bit surprised.

At the same time, she curiously looked inside the room, wanting to see which boss had such a peculiar taste that they even didn't spare Jiang Moxi, an ugly duckling.

But when she looked, she only saw a bruised and swollen man lying on the floor, which startled her, and she screamed, "Ah..."

Following Yu Na's gaze, Jiang Moxi also saw that the man was Chen Haobin.

In the past, he was the one who had tormented her, and she had kicked him in a sensitive spot!

After putting in a great effort, Chen Haobin finally managed to get up from the ground and scolded Yu Na, "You bitch, why are you screaming? Hurry up and call the police!"

Yu Na's scream and Chen Haobin's shouts quickly attracted the first-floor staff and guests.

Fu Youhan and Ye Chen had arranged to have a drink at Nightless City. Fu Youhan was seated in a wheelchair, being pushed towards the elevator by Chi Jing.

Upon hearing the commotion, Fu Youhan unconsciously looked over and caught a glimpse of Jiang Moxi in the crowd...
