Chapter 498: Chapter 498: A Slight Deviation Leads to a Great Discrepancy

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently, "White Jade Frost? My White Jade Frost has a gentle nature, and even those with the most sensitive skin won’t experience any side effects after using it."

"I see that Lady’s skin doesn’t fall under the sensitive category, so she certainly shouldn’t have such a reaction after using it!"

Jiang Qumei hurriedly presented the bottle of Golden Jade Frost essence she had used before, "Miracle Doctor Chen, it was after using this product given by them that my face turned out this way, please take a look."

Chen Xuan took the bottle and carefully smelled it, immediately making a judgment.

Chen Xuan turned to Zhou Zhengyang, "I ask you, this essence, was it truly manufactured following the secret recipe stolen from me?"

Zhou Zhengyang hesitated for a moment but stubbornly said, "This... of course! We followed your secret recipe exactly, and that’s why there was a problem!"

Chen Xuan rebuked sharply, "Lies! The ingredients in my secret recipe, when combined, although they don’t have any whitening effects, they absolutely wouldn’t cause any side effects!"

"What you’ve produced, this essence, doesn’t match my secret recipe at all, you must have tampered with the ingredients! Isn’t that so?!"

At this moment, the captain of the guard stood by Chen Xuan’s side, drew his gun, and pointed it at Zhou Zhengyang, "Even now you won’t tell the truth; do you really think we dare not kill you!"

Zhou Zhengyang trembled with fear, and quickly kowtowed, "I... I admit my mistake, we did change one of the herbs!"

"It was borneol, we replaced musk with borneol. But, these two ingredients have very similar effects, how could..." Ji Xuanhu couldn’t understand no matter how hard he thought.

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "Just as I thought! All medicines are somewhat poisonous!"

"Although these two ingredients have similar effects, musk has a very strong effect of activating blood circulation and clearing channels, which can neutralize the slight toxicity of the other ingredients."

"By replacing the musk with borneol, which has a poorer effect on activating blood, the toxicity of the other herbs can’t be released, eventually damaging the skin."

"Each herb has its irreplaceable role, a miss is as good as a mile!"

"In vain you are known as one of the four Divine Doctors, yet you don’t even understand such a simple principle, truly pitiful!"

After hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Ji Xuanhu felt an unbearable sense of shame.

Indeed, too clever by half, originally he substituted borneol to evade responsibility, yet he never anticipated it would result in such a predicament!

If there’s anyone to blame, it should be himself, who was solely focused on stealing the White Jade Frost formula and making money, neglecting even the most basic principles of pharmacology, as if he’d been blinded by lard!

Chen Xuan’s analysis bolstered Jiang Qumei’s confidence in his medical skills.

"Miracle Doctor Chen, as for the injuries on my face, do you have a way to remedy them now?"

Chen Xuan smiled lightly, "Rest assured, Lady, the injuries on your face are merely caused by an accumulation of toxins. I’ll mainly help you disperse the poison and then apply my true White Jade Frost essence, and you will certainly recover!"

"Really?!" Jiang Qumei was overjoyed, "Then I implore Miracle Doctor Chen to treat me quickly!"

"No problem!"

Chen Xuan took out Silver Needle, and immediately began to treat Jiang Qumei with the needles.

A few needles in, a few drops of blackish blood began to flow from the wound.

After the black blood flowed out, the swelling on Jiang Qumei’s face clearly subsided a great deal.

Then, Chen Xuan took out his own concocted White Jade Frost essence and applied it on Jiang Qumei.

Jiang Qumei immediately felt a cool sensation, reaching deep into her heart, indescribably comfortable.

Just after the White Jade Frost essence was applied, something miraculous happened.

The swelling on Jiang Qumei’s face could be seen visibly disappearing at a rapid pace, eventually leaving no trace at all.

Not only that, but even the dark spots that had been on Jiang Qumei’s cheeks before had now vanished as well.

The places on her face that had been touched by the essence of White Jade Frost were visibly whiter and more tender than other areas, as if she had instantly become a decade younger!

"Oh my God, this... this is the real White Jade Frost!"

"It’s truly miraculous!!"

Watching herself in the mirror, Jiang Qumei’s eyes shone with excitement.

Zhou Zhengyang and Ji Xuanhu by her side were also amazed.

The effects of White Jade Frost were so astonishing that if they could make use of it, the prospects and profits it could bring were beyond measure!

"Miracle Doctor Chen, I have an impertinent request. Would it be possible for you to leave the remaining essence of White Jade Frost in this bottle for me?"

"Don’t worry, I can buy it. No matter the cost!"

Jiang Qumei, someone who loved beauty so much, how could she pass up such a great opportunity?

The allure of this essence of White Jade Frost was simply irresistible to her!

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Lady, you are too polite. The ordeal you went through today, after all, also relates to me."

"I will offer this bottle of White Jade Frost essence to Lady as an apology!"

Jiang Qumei was delighted, "Really?! Thank you so much!"

"I’ve long heard of the great reputation of Miracle Doctor Chen, and seeing you today, it’s clear you are extraordinary!"

"I am determined to make friends with a person like Miracle Doctor Chen!"

"Today I owe Miracle Doctor Chen a huge favor. If you ever come to Jiang City, remember to look for me!"

It must be said, as a dignified Lady, Jiang Qumei possessed a wisdom that far surpassed the average person.

Although she had already learned of Chen Xuan’s identity, she did not expose it; she understood very well that mentioning it outright would give the impression she was trying to curry favor with him for future interactions.

Furthermore, Jiang Qumei did not insist on compensating Chen Xuan with money.

Firstly, because she knew that for someone with Chen Xuan’s status and power, wealth was easily within his grasp and held no allure for him.

Secondly, this was also part of Jiang Qumei’s strategy.

She intentionally owed Chen Xuan a favor, creating a pretext for future interactions.

After all, reciprocation of favors makes for more natural relationships, and now, with this debt, future interactions could proceed much more smoothly!

Jiang Qumei’s strategic mind was definitely much stronger than that of clever pretenders like Zhou Zhengyang!

Then, Jiang Qumei’s gaze fell back onto Han Chengye, Zhou Zhengyang, and the others.

"Divine Doctor Chen, these people have stolen your secret formula and caused me such harm. In your opinion, how should they be dealt with?"

Chen Xuan looked at Han Chengye and Zhou Zhengyang meaningfully, "Indeed, how should we deal with the likes of you?"

Neither Han Chengye nor Zhou Zhengyang was foolish — they knew this was their last chance and quickly knelt before Chen Xuan, kowtowing fervently.

"Chen Xuan, we know our mistake; we beg you to be magnanimous and spare us this time!"

"Yes, please give us another chance!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "You dare to dream of stealing my company’s secret formula and still expect me to give you another chance?"

"In my opinion, you folks fully deserve to die!"
