The Old Factory Director's name was Sun Miao, a native of Vast Sea City.

Born into a shipbuilding family, he learned shipbuilding from his family from a young age.

He possesses exceptional talent in both shipbuilding and cultivation. At the age of thirty, he took charge of the Shipyard and, in just a few decades, expanded his family's Shipyard into the number one Shipyard in Vast Sea City.

Overall, Sun Miao lived an enviable life.

Although he suffered from physical ailments in his later years, Sun Miao didn't care at all. His only concern was the future of his disciples and their descendants.

Now that the youngest member, Jiang Jun, is also getting on the right track, Sun Miao can finally relax.

Overjoyed, Sun Miao ignored his physical condition and burst into laughter.

Seeing Sun Miao laugh, Su Li, who was sitting next to him, quickly stood up, gently patted Sun Miao's back, and said with concern, "Master, I know you are very happy, but you still need to take care of your health."

Seeing Su Li's hypocritical and insincere demeanor, Jiang Jun's anger intensified.

Sun Miao had secretly praised Su Li a few days ago for being considerate.

"Junior brother, please sit down. I think you haven't eaten yet. Sit down and eat with us."

Su Li had a gentle smile, just like the perfect senior brother.

"OK."

Jiang Jun sat down and picked up Sun Miao's lunchbox from the table, then began to eat heartily.

"I'm starving! They say the richer you are, the stingier you are. We've been talking all morning and they won't even give me a meal."

Jiang Jun's sudden action caused Su Li's hand, which was gently patting Sun Miao's back, to pause for a moment.

However, he quickly added with a slightly teasing tone, "Junior brother, even if you're starving, you shouldn't steal Master's food. There's plenty more in the Dining Hall downstairs."

Sun Miao laughed nonchalantly, "Oh, it's alright. At my age, it's fine for me to eat less."

More than the meal, he was captivated by the harmonious atmosphere of brotherly love and respect before him.

Jiang Jun, like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for years, stuffed the remaining half-box of food into his stomach.

Then, patting his stomach, he lay comfortably on the sofa and exclaimed, "I'm full, I'm full."

Seeing that Jiang Jun had finished all the food, Su Li sighed helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you."

As he spoke, he got up, picked up the empty lunchbox, and walked towards the door.

"Master, please eat mine first, and I'll go get some more."

After saying that, Su Li took the empty lunchbox and left the room.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Jiang Jun's expression turned serious. He first gestured for Sun Miao to be quiet.

Then, he walked quietly to the door, put his ear close to make sure Su Li was far enough away, and then hurriedly walked towards Sun Miao.

Sun Miao looked at Jiang Jun's suspicious behavior with a puzzled expression, but still cooperated.

Jiang Jun walked up to Sun Miao, looked at his wrinkled face, and said softly with a pang of pity, "Master, please remain calm after you hear this."

You've been poisoned, and the person who poisoned you was very likely Su Li.

Sun Miao paused, remained silent for a moment, and then chuckled softly.

But after laughing, Sun Miao's pupils visibly trembled.

The intense emotional fluctuations in a short period of time caused his Vitality to rush to his head, resulting in chest pain and an involuntary, violent cough.

Jiang Jun was extremely anxious, but he still managed to maintain a degree of composure.

He took out the small ceramic bottle that Quan Yue had given him from his chest, opened the bottle, and carefully poured out a tiny pill.

The pills are made by rolling boiled medicinal paste into round balls, which are dark in color.

Jiang Jun held the pill in his hand up to Sun Miao, wanting him to take it.

Sun Miao hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

Even after taking the pill, Sun Miao's coughing didn't stop, so Jiang Jun could only anxiously pat his back to help his master catch his breath.

Having lived most of his life and seen many ups and downs, Sun Miao quickly calmed down.

"Who gave you this information? Is it reliable?"

Jiang Jun didn't say it aloud, but he nodded very solemnly.

The next moment, Sun Miao sighed, and his straight back bent slightly.

In an instant, his face aged several years.

Jiang Jun's eyes immediately reddened; it was the first time he had ever seen Sun Miao look so weak.

Even when he was sick and weak, he had never seen Sun Miao with such a vulnerable expression.

Sun Miao values his family most, so hearing the news of Su Li 'Sun Miao betrayal is undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

However, Jiang Jun must tell Sun Miao about this as soon as possible, otherwise, he alone will not be able to stop Su Li's conspiracy.

"Master, what should we do next? Should we subdue Su Li first?"

Jiang Jun asked somewhat anxiously.

Sun Miao was still somewhat listless, but he straightened his hunched back, his eyes flashing with cold light, and said, "Don't worry, just do as usual in a moment, and leave the rest to me."

Jiang Jun nodded, then returned to his seat with a lazy expression.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere in the room became as still as a stagnant pool.

Finally, after a while, footsteps began to be heard outside the door.

Su Li carried the lunchbox containing the food into the room and smiled, "Master, you see, it's lucky I arrived in time, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to eat your favorite seafood soup."

Su Li placed the lunchbox in front of Sun Miao and sat down opposite Jiang Jun again.

Sun Miao looked at the seafood soup in the lunchbox, but did not show his usual excitement.

He pushed the lunchbox to Su Li and said, "I've eaten enough today. Let's share this fish soup. I remember you loved fish soup when you were little."

Su Li was somewhat taken aback, but immediately refused, saying, "I'll have enough leftovers. I brought this especially for you because you were coughing. Please don't waste it."

Sun Miao has now completely given up hope.

He sneered at Su Li, "Hmph! How come I didn't notice your sinister intentions? You actually dared to kill your master. You're incredibly audacious!"

Sun Miao angrily questioned Su Li.

Su Li was startled by the sudden cold snort, but still innocently argued, "Master, what are you saying? Why are you suddenly so angry?"

Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Jun beside him and pointed at his nose, saying, "Did this kid say something to you? Master, no matter what this kid said, it's because he's jealous of me, his senior brother, and wants to frame me."

Once the filter of affection for his beloved disciple disappeared from Sun Miao's eyes, all sorts of details that he had unconsciously filtered out in the past became clearly visible.

Su Li's lies were completely exposed in his eyes.

Moreover, Su Li's despicable act of framing his junior brother even on his deathbed made Sun Miao see Su Li's true colors completely.

"Smack!"

He angrily slammed his fist on the table, snapping the thick wooden surface in two.

"You still dare to argue? Today I'll teach you a lesson, you rebellious disciple."

As he spoke, a natural wood Wooden Mallet appeared in Sun Miao's hand.

Furthermore, seven dazzling Soul Ring appeared behind him.
