Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 145 Rhythmic Radiance

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Rhythmic Radiance

Lu Siyu’s face lit up with joy, "Mayor Jiang really has discernment, the Water of Life was developed by my father with the help of over thirty top scientists, and it will hit the market next week. It will surely take Jiangbei by storm."

Jiang Mingzhe has always been fond of health preservation and is very committed to anything that can improve his health.

Hearing that the Water of Life was about to be launched, he quickly asked, "How much will the Water of Life be sold for?"

Lu Siyu replied, "It’s tentatively priced at 6888 a bottle."

Jiang Mingzhe frowned, "That’s expensive!"

Lu Siyu responded, "After all, a substantial amount of money was invested in the research and development, and the Water of Life has significant benefits for the body. This price is already quite fair."

"However, if Mayor Jiang likes it, Lu Pharmaceuticals can donate a batch of Water of Life to Jiangcheng for free, as a contribution to the city."

Jiang Mingzhe’s frown relaxed into a smile, "Then I thank the Lu Family for their kindness."

Lu Jinyuan’s expression was extremely dark as he sighed, "It seems I have no chance this time."

Chen Fan spoke up at this moment, "The effect of your Water of Life is only a little better than regular mineral water, yet you sell it for 6888 a bottle—simply extortionate!"

Lu Siyu glared, "What nonsense are you spouting here? The effect of the Water of Life is something Mayor Jiang has personally experienced. How can you say it’s only slightly better than regular mineral water?"

Jiang Mingzhe also frowned and looked at Chen Fan, "If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. The effect of the Water of Life is indeed very good; I felt a noticeable difference after just one sip. Could it be fake?"

Chen Fan sneered, "That’s because he added purified caffeine to the water to deceive people’s senses."

Lu Siyu’s face suddenly changed, and he was shocked, "How does this guy know?"

He tried to stay calm, staring fixedly at Chen Fan and said, "Lu Jinyuan believes in superstitious nonsense, and you are a martial artist. You two are birds of a feather, and neither of you could possibly comprehend the greatness of science. I advise you not to make a fool of yourself!"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "The reason I say this is that I have Spiritual Liquid in my possession that can truly improve one’s health. Since Mayor Jiang likes it, I can also present it for his appraisal."

Lu Jinyuan’s eyes bulged, "Mr. Chen, are you intending to use that miraculous Spiritual Liquid to help me compete for plot number three?"

He whispered, "Mr. Chen, your Spiritual Liquid is invaluable; you don’t need to..."

Chen Fan interrupted him, "Just watch."

Lu Jinyuan was deeply moved. He hadn’t expected Chen Fan to be willing to reveal such a precious treasure for his sake.

Lu Siyu scoffed, "A Spiritual Liquid that can improve the body? You’re really talking big. My Water of Life has been painstakingly researched by a host of scientists. A martial artist like you, talking about Spiritual Liquid—you don’t find that laughable?"

Jiang Mingzhe also looked sternly at Chen Fan, "I know you want to salvage some dignity for Lu Jinyuan, but this will only bring you disgrace. There is no need to go to such lengths."

Chen Fan smiled as he took out a jade bottle, "Mayor Jiang, don’t rush to conclusions. Why not try some of my Spiritual Liquid first?"

He poured a glass of water, then opened the jade bottle and dripped a few drops of the Spiritual Liquid into it.

Lu Siyu burst into laughter, "Do you take Mayor Jiang for a fool? Your Spiritual Liquid needs to be diluted with water before drinking?"

The others present also laughed along.

Lu Jinyuan’s face showed displeasure, "A bunch of ignorant fools."

Chen Fan pushed the glass of water toward Jiang Mingzhe, "Judging from your look, you seem to have a very systematic approach to health preservation. Surely you can also discern the difference in this glass of water."

Jiang Mingzhe stared at the glass and noticed that the water inside was faintly radiant with light.

"Is this... Rhythmic Radiance?" His eyes widened dramatically.

He immediately grabbed the glass of water, sniffed it, and drank it all down.

In an instant, Jiang Mingzhe’s face was filled with pleasure.

"Oh, so comfortable, incredibly comfortable!"

Managing the vast affairs of Jiangcheng, he was constantly busy and his body had long been exhausted.

This glass of water from Chen Fan made him feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Lu Siyu frowned at Jiang Mingzhe’s reaction, "Is that brute Chen Fan’s water really that miraculous?"

He rolled his eyes and leaned in, saying, "Mayor Jiang, be careful he’s not tricking you with some stimulant!"

Jiang Mingzhe’s entire demeanor was completely changed from a moment ago.

With a hearty laugh, he said, "I can tell the difference between a stimulant and true Spiritual Liquid. What Chen Fan gave me is indeed worthy of the name ’Spiritual Liquid’."

Everyone looked on in shock.

Lu Siyu immediately became anxious, "Mayor Jiang, even if his stuff has some effect, it definitely can’t compare to our Lu Family’s Water of Life, which was developed by over thirty top scientists..."

Jiang Mingzhe cut him off, "Enough, no need for explanations. I can feel now that your Water of Life only temporarily made me feel more energetic, without any real effect on my body."

"However, Chen Fan’s Spiritual Liquid has truly eliminated the tiredness within me. I haven’t felt so comfortable in a long time,"

He then looked at Chen Fan, "How much of this Spiritual Liquid do you have? No matter the cost, I must buy some."

Chen Fan smiled as he passed over a jade bottle, "Mayor Jiang takes on so much, and Jiangcheng’s development is inseparable from your hard work. This bottle of Spiritual Liquid is my way of representing the people of Jiangcheng to show our gratitude. Your good health is vital for Jiangcheng’s prosperity."

Jiang Mingzhe laughed heartily, "Then I will not stand on ceremony. With your word here, I will certainly lead all the people of Jiangcheng towards happiness and prosperity!"

Chen Fan bowed with his hands clasped.

Lu Siyu timidly asked, "Mayor Jiang, what about me...?"

Jiang Mingzhe directly pushed the bottle of Water of Life back, "I’m not fortunate enough to enjoy this. You take it back."

Lu Siyu stiffened, realizing to whom the lot number three would ultimately belong.

He glowered at Chen Fan with clenched teeth, "Fool, you’ve ruined a great endeavor of the Lu Family. I will not let you off!"

The banquet ended.

Lu Jinyuan held the approval document for lot number three, unable to hide his smile.

He looked at Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, you truly are my lucky star."

Chen Fan ignored him and instead caught up with Jiang Mingzhe who was about to leave, "Mayor Jiang, a moment, please."

Jiang Mingzhe turned around, smiling at Chen Fan, "What is it, Chen Fan?"

Chen Fan said, "You believe in science, and I won’t argue with that, but still, Mayor Jiang should maintain reverence for certain things. Countless scientists study their whole lives and, in the end, choose to believe in God; there are innumerable cases like this."

"The deity Lu Jinyuan sent you that possessed Spirituality—it had already become spiritual. Now that you have broken its head, it may bring you misfortune."

"If Mayor Jiang does not wish to suffer unexpected calamities, it would be best to take the deity back and offer respects for a while."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Jiang Mingzhe’s face instantly vanished, "Chen Fan, I am grateful for the Spiritual Liquid you gave me, but I am a firm materialist. These so-called ghosts and gods, they are all ignorance, nonsense, and folly. Don’t speak of such things in front of me again!"
