Chapter 492: Chapter 492 You killed the wrong person!

Zhou Zhengyang was now intent on seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to foster good relations with the Jiang City Marquis, and naturally, he was not going to let it slip away.

Seeing Zhou Zhengyang’s resolute attitude, Ji Xuanhu could only nod in agreement.

Indeed, Ji Xuanhu was not overly worried.

After all, the secret formula had been stolen from Chen Xuan, and he had great confidence in the White Jade Frost that Chen Xuan had developed!

Zhou Zhengyang took the original liquid of White Jade Frost and handed it to Jiang Qumei.

"Lady, this is the original liquid of Golden Jade Frost, it can not only cure your blemishes, but with long-term application, it may even have rejuvenating effects! To say it’s worth its weight in gold would be an understatement!"

Desperate to impress Jiang Qumei, Zhou Zhengyang exaggerated as much as he could.

"Rejuvenating?!" Jiang Qumei’s eyes shone with excitement.

For a woman, especially one as beauty-conscious as Jiang Qumei, there were no four words more attractive!

Without any hesitation, Jiang Qumei took the original liquid of Golden Jade Frost and began to apply it to her face in front of the mirror.

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu both waited eagerly on the side; they too wanted to see the effects of the White Jade Frost original liquid.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Qumei suddenly felt a cold sensation on her cheeks.

Hastily, she took out a mirror and was overwhelmed with joy.

She could clearly see the blemishes on her cheeks in the mirror disappearing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, they had already diminished by one third!

"It’s working! It’s really working!!"

Jiang Qumei was nearly jumping with excitement.

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu were also thrilled.

If they could cure Jiang Qumei’s blemishes, then they would have firmly established a relationship with the Jiang City Marquis!

However, before Zhou Zhengyang and the others could start to celebrate.

"Ah! It hurts! My face, why is it burning so much!"

Jiang Qumei, who was initially excited, suddenly screamed out in pain.

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu hurried to look, and were immediately shocked.

Jiang Qumei’s cheeks had become red and swollen, as if they were scalded!

"How... how could this happen?!" Zhou Zhengyang stood frozen in place.

As the effects of the Golden Jade Frost original liquid continued, the red and swollen area on Jiang Qumei’s cheeks grew even larger, the pain was searing!

"Ah! It hurts! It’s killing me!"

"What on earth is happening! What on earth is wrong with your medicine!!"

Jiang Qumei was in so much pain that she rolled around on the floor, clutching her face.

Zhou Zhengyang was already panicking, not knowing what to do, but Ji Xuanhu snapped out of it and shouted urgently, "Water! Quickly wash off the ointment with water!"

Too distraught to care, Jiang Qumei rushed to the water dispenser and started washing her face desperately.

Only after washing for more than ten minutes did Jiang Qumei finally start to feel a little better.

But when she took a look in the mirror, she completely broke down.

In the mirror, half of her face was swollen, the shape of her entire face had changed, it was almost as though she had been disfigured!

"Ah!! Scoundrels! You two scoundrels!!"

Jiang Qumei shattered the mirror with a smack and bellowed angrily.

Upon hearing the commotion in the room, the Marquis Manor’s guards immediately rushed in.

"Lady, what... what happened?!"

The guards too were startled when they saw Jiang Qumei’s current condition.

Furious, Jiang Qumei exclaimed, "Come, execute these two charlatan physicians on the spot!!"

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu were so frightened that they nearly lost their souls upon hearing this.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that what began as a good thing could bring them to the brink of death in the blink of an eye!

Out of fear, Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu immediately knelt down.

"Lady, please spare our lives!"

"It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Qumei snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding?"

"You brought in the concoction, and my face was ruined by it. Where is the misunderstanding?"

"The thing I despise most in my life is you quacks who swindle money and harm people! Today, I shall consider it a public service to eliminate you!"

"Slaughter them for me!"

As a noble Lady, Jiang Qumei truly held the power of life and death, and her command to kill was not in jest.

The Marquis Manor Guards did not hesitate, drawing their weapons and pressing them against Zhou Zhengyang’s and Ji Xuanhu’s heads, ready to pull the trigger without hesitation.

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu were so scared that their scalps tingled and legs turned to jelly.

One was the heir to the top Qiantang family, and the other a renowned doctor, famous throughout the two Jiang provinces.

Yet even with such status, they now seemed utterly insignificant in front of Jiang Qumei!

Just as the guards were about to pull the trigger, Zhou Zhengyang had a stroke of genius and cried out in desperation, "Lady, you have the wrong person!"

That single sentence successfully caught Jiang Qumei’s attention.

She raised her hand to signal the guards to hold their fire.

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Qumei asked, her voice cold as she looked at Zhou Zhengyang.

Zhou Zhengyang took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Lady, you are unaware, but we too are victims!"

"This Golden Jade Frost is merely sold under the name of Zhengyang Corporation; its real manufacturer is actually someone else!"

Jiang Qumei arched an eyebrow, "Who exactly is it?"

Zhou Zhengyang’s expression turned grim as he said solemnly, "Han Corporation! The secret formula of Golden Jade Frost was provided by Han Chengye, the president of Han Corporation!"

"Furthermore, the production of the product was also their responsibility!"

"We had no prior knowledge that Golden Jade Frost would have such severe side effects. If we had known, we would never have dared to let you use it!"

As he spoke, Zhou Zhengyang gave Ji Xuanhu a meaningful glance.

Understanding the cue, Ji Xuanhu quickly nodded, "Young Master Zhou is right; you are our Lady, and not even if we had ten times the courage would we dare do anything to harm you!"

"We’ve been deceived by the people from Han Corporation!"

Jiang Qumei’s face showed suspicion, "Is everything you are saying true?"

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu quickly nodded, "Absolutely true, without a shred of deception!"

Zhou Zhengyang then remembered something, "That’s right, Han Chengye, the president of Han Corporation, is also attending the press conference today. He should be in the front hall right now."

"You can bring him here to confront him, and if I’ve said even a single lie, I’m willing to accept punishment!"

Zhou Zhengyang spoke with such certainty that Jiang Qumei began to believe him somewhat.

She then ordered the Marquis Manor Guards, "Go to the front hall now, and bring that Han Chengye to me for questioning!"

"And call the Marquis immediately to tell him I’ve been framed in Huai City and demand he sends troops here to settle this!"

"At your command!"

The Marquis Manor Guards acknowledged the order and stormed off toward the front hall.

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu, still kneeling on the ground, were horrified by Jiang Qumei’s words and collapsed on the spot, their breaths drawing in cold.

Requesting the Jiang City Marquis to send troops to Huai City?

This time, they had really stirred up a massive disaster!
