Even though they knew there was a master helping them, they couldn't find a single clue and could only passively accept it all, not knowing how to explain it to the family elders and those above them.

The following day, the Luoyang Intermediate People's Court held a hearing on the case in which Luoyang Luoshen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. sued Chengdu Minhong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for infringement, stealing the ancestral formula of Luoshen Pharmaceutical Chairman Huang Yiren and applying for approval from the State Drug Administration as its own product.
Under the majestic national emblem, the judge, plaintiff, defendant, lawyer, juror, and spectators took their seats one by one, creating a solemn atmosphere.
The judge and the plaintiff's lawyer looked at Huang Yiren, who had been confident and flamboyant when they met the day before, with great curiosity, wondering what had happened in just half a day.
Huang Yiren had no way to express his suffering. At seven o'clock in the morning, he received a call from the company and was told that he had suffered heavy losses.
Besides manufacturing pharmaceuticals, Luoshen Pharmaceuticals also produces medical devices, which are highly profitable.
But in just one night, everything changed.
All the medical equipment was destroyed, the entire warehouse was in ruins, and precision instruments and meters worth millions of dollars were completely destroyed.
The worst part is that the reagents, test strips, and finished drugs in the warehouses were all irreparably damaged, and the production equipment was also severely damaged, making it impossible to continue production.
What awaits Huang Yiren is the inability to deliver goods according to the contract, as well as compensation lawsuits from distributors, contracted manufacturers, and hospitals.
All of this happened the night before the trial of the lawsuit against Minhong Pharmaceutical. The connection between them is unknown, but just from the mass deaths of those responsible for counterfeit Minhong products that shocked the nation at the end of last year, one can foresee the tragic end that may befall them.
Lin Yao sat coldly in the audience. At this moment, he was disguised as someone who was qualified to attend the hearing. He had knocked the man unconscious at his house in the early morning, put on the man's clothes, and entered the courtroom with the man's valid identification.
Seeing Huang Yiren sweating profusely, Lin Yao found it quite amusing.
"Court is now in session! Everyone, please stand!"
"Wait a minute!" Huang Yiren suddenly shouted, "Your Honor, I request that the charges be dropped! I want the charges to be dropped!"
All eyes were on Huang Yiren in astonishment, but he ignored them and rushed out of his seat to the judge, saying, "Your Honor, I request that the charges be dropped!"
"It's too late now." Lin Yao's disguised voice rang coldly in Huang Yiren's ear, "Unless you donate all your assets to Minhong's charity foundation, and can only keep one million for yourself, including the value of your real estate, which can only be one million, you and your entire family will disappear from this world!"
"ah!"
Huang Yiren collapsed limply in front of the judge, eliciting gasps of surprise.
The flashbulbs were going off frequently; this was great news.

==================
“Sir, werewolves and vampires exist, as do the Knights of the Round Table of the Holy See and priests with special abilities.”
Yi Yang looked at Lin Yao, whose face was full of reproach, with a bitter expression, his heart pounding. "I thought you wouldn't encounter such a thing, so I didn't tell you before, and then I forgot to say it."
Lin Yao knew in his heart that Yi Yang couldn't be blamed for these things.
He initially appeared as a doctor and never displayed any outstanding personal abilities. At that time, the Yi family was too busy protecting him to imagine that he would encounter such inhuman beings.
Even if they did encounter them, the Yi family members protecting them would likely risk their lives to save them and then flee, never allowing themselves to come into contact with or understand these "people," because it would be too dangerous.
Then he demonstrated his strength. Then a series of even more significant events occurred, making it difficult to even meet with Yi Yang. Even when they did meet, the conversation wouldn't turn to the world's structure or the distribution of power.
As for Elder Yi Potian, after understanding his own strength, he probably felt that saying these things was superfluous.
Yi Fei, on the other hand, was focused on being a bodyguard and wouldn't pique his curiosity at all. He probably only wanted him to secretly refine pills and brew medicine to help improve the Yi family's strength.
The result of all this is, naturally, complete ignorance of beings in the world who are beyond human comprehension.
"Then tell me, it's not too late to say now." Lin Yao's calm tone made Yi Yang a little nervous. "By the way, arrange more people in Chengdu. Although Elder Yi Dao is powerful, it will be difficult to manage if too many of these things come."
"Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away."
Yi Yang secretly wiped away a cold sweat, thinking that it was the best outcome that Lin Yao wasn't angry.
Nowadays, the Yi family treats Lin Yao like an ancestor, and they don't want to anger this young man, even though Lin Yao's temper is better than expected.
With Yi Yang's explanation, Lin Yao gained a new understanding of this world.
Just as he had always wondered why the hidden ancient martial arts families were so highly regarded, and even five of the seven military regions were controlled by the four major families, with the only restriction on the families' involvement in politics, all of this stemmed from external pressure.
Werewolves, vampires, paladins, and the Papacy from Europe; wizards from Africa; ancient yoga and tantra from India, as well as certain religious practitioners with special abilities; samurai and ninjas from Japan; berserkers from Soviet Russia. And so on and so forth, all appeared in Lin Yao's ears.
Although there is a common rule among superpowered individuals and cultivators in the world, namely that they cannot display their abilities in front of ordinary people and should try not to have any impact on the world, the struggle between superpowered individuals has never stopped.
There are connections between the ability users and the governments of various countries. These ability users are involved in some special missions, and sometimes the outcome of the struggles between ability users directly affects the distribution of interests between countries.
Therefore, in addition to serving as protectors of important figures and regions, ancient martial arts families must also accept missions according to the rules. They have many members both domestically and internationally, which is also a battlefield to demonstrate the strength and ability of each family.
