Ren Jie wasn't in a hurry at all. He sat there quietly waiting. In less than a moment, Fang Yan had already sent someone to retrieve all the deeds for his pharmacy. He himself didn't come over, clearly having gone to handle the matter of the Chang Le Gambling House.

An hour later, Fang Tianen was invited out and returned after a while with the porcelain bottle containing the medicine that belonged to Ren Jie, returning it to him. The Miraculous Apothecary in the family had already examined it and confirmed that the ingredients inside were indeed a detoxification medicine from a High Grade Potion, which was already quite valuable.

However, it wasn't a specific antidote for the poison Fang Qi had been afflicted with. Although this detoxification potion was considered precious, it shouldn't have been enough to save Fang Qi.

"No problem with the check, right?" Ren Jie took the porcelain bottle back and put it away, smiling. "I think Fang Qi is just tired. I heard a while ago that the Silk Shop she manages has opened three branches in Jade Capital City. For a young girl to be so tired, even if she wasn't poisoned, she'd be exhausted."

What do you want to do? Hearing Ren Jie's words, Fang Tianen suddenly looked at Ren Jie. He was starting to feel a bit scared now; this guy's extortion was too terrifying.

"I wonder when he'll be back, Family Head. How about we go home first and come back tomorrow? I remember the Chang Le Gambling House has the Chang Le Gang behind it, which is said to be one of the top ten gangs in Jade Capital City. If Commander Fang can't handle it quickly, we can't just keep waiting here, can we?" This time, before Ren Jie could say anything, Fatty had already helped by speaking up.

"Hmm..." Ren Jie was seriously considering this suggestion.

"Since Family Head Ren has spoken, it's just three Silk Shops worth three hundred thousand Jade Coins. I'll immediately have someone bring the deeds over." This time, Fang Tianen was more proactive than before. Without waiting for Ren Jie to say anything else, he had already given the order.

"You're too kind, Family Head Fang is too kind." Ren Jie said, then turned to look at Fatty. "Family Head Fang is so insistent on us staying, and he's even giving us three Silk Shops. How could we leave now? We have to wait, well... let's wait another hour and see."

Fang Tianen finally understood why Fang Yan had been so angry he coughed up blood. It was clear from these words that if Fang Yan didn't return in an hour, he would increase the price and demand more.

Oh god, is this how these Hedonistic Young Masters usually bully others? Now he truly wished he could beat them all to death. Even if Fang Yan could forcibly buy the Chang Le Gambling House for two million taels, adding the pharmacy and the Silk Shops, the Fang Family was truly bleeding heavily this time.

An hour later, Ren Jie wanted to leave again. This time, Family Head Fang Tianen himself proactively gave Ren Jie a manor in the suburbs of Jade Capital City worth one hundred and fifty thousand Jade Coins.

Time passed little by little. While Fang Tianen was worried and scared, finally, an hour and a half later, Fang Yan returned, looking a bit tired. He was carrying a wooden box in his hand. He walked silently to the table where Ren Jie was sitting and opened the box.

"These are all the deeds and land deeds for the Chang Le Gambling House. Chang Lao Si has signed and fingerprinted them, transferring everything to Ren Jie, Family Head of the Ren Family." Fang Yan pushed the box in his hand towards Ren Jie, then walked to Fang Tianen's side, not daring to say another word of nonsense.

"Good, that's fast. I like young juniors like you." Ren Jie said to Fang Yan in the tone of an elder. In fact, he didn't even look at Fang Yan, because he was carefully counting the items.

After counting everything, Ren Jie handed the deeds for the pharmacy, Silk Shops, and manor to Fatty to hold. He then took out the porcelain bottle from before, and also took out another porcelain bottle, slowly opening it.

A cool, faint fragrance emanated from this porcelain bottle. Ren Jie slowly tilted this porcelain bottle towards the one below.

Hmm? Fang Tianen and Fang Yan also watched nervously, but found that Ren Jie poured for a long time, and there was no movement inside.

Finally, they finally saw a drop of liquid slowly condensing from the mouth of the upper porcelain bottle to the rim, very slowly, making it tense to watch.

"Immediately pry open Fang Qi's mouth. This is a true Detoxification Treasure. Once it merges with the potion I just used, it will immediately form Detoxification Sacred Water, which can cure all poisons." With enough buildup, Ren Jie's boundless protection at this moment also made Fang Tianen nod repeatedly. He personally came over and pried open Fang Qi's mouth.

"Bang..." Finally, the single drop of liquid that had been so difficult to obtain from above dripped into the porcelain bottle below. Immediately, a foul stench emanated from the lower porcelain bottle. Just as Fang Tianen and Fang Yan felt an urge to vomit, Ren Jie directly poured the liquid from this porcelain bottle directly into Fang Qi's mouth.

"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle..." At this moment, only a strange gurgling sound could be heard from Fang Qi's stomach, and the color on her face gradually changed.

"Who... who set the fire..." Suddenly, Fang Qi, who had been lying there silent like a dead person, suddenly spoke. In her daze, it was clear she was still in the scene where Ren Jie had set the fire and led her into the formation she had set up herself.

She's alive, she's really alive! At this moment, Fang Tianen momentarily forgot Ren Jie's previous wickedness. Regardless, in the end, this Ren Jie had truly saved Fang Qi.

"Family Head Fang, you and your daughter will have plenty of time to be close. Let's talk about the reward first." Ren Jie patted the excited Fang Tianen.

"Reward, what reward, what else do you want?" Fang Yan, who was listening nearby, finally exploded. This guy was too greedy! How much stuff had he already taken, and he still wanted more.

Fang Tianen also looked sharply at Ren Jie, thinking, A single Chang Le Gambling House is worth several million Jade Coins, what else do you want? Are you crazy? What is he thinking? "I remember Family Head Fang offered a reward of a million Jade Coins and a Middle-Grade Spirit Tool to save your daughter. This was something Family Head Fang said in the Five Clans Great Hall, in front of Your Majesty. I shouldn't be mistaken, right?" Ren Jie completely ignored Fang Yan. By now, he didn't even have the energy to lecture him. He looked directly at Fang Tianen.

"What Family Head Ren has obtained is already three to five million Jade Coins. What else does Family Head Ren want?" Fang Tianen coldly glanced at Gao Ren behind Ren Jie and looked at the wooden box he was holding.

Gao Ren was also stunned. He had originally thought they had succeeded, but he didn't expect Ren Jie to be even more ruthless than him and still want more.

Ren Jie's continuous demands had already made him tremble with fear, afraid that Fang Tianen would turn hostile. Now, the harvest was already beyond imagination. The wooden box he was holding was enough to rival the entire wealth of a medium-sized family, and he still wanted more.

"Family Head, this is already quite generous. You're truly going from one extreme to another. You used to always say I was greedy for money, but you're practically scraping the Fang Family clean."

"Didn't the Fang Family Head give these to me willingly?" Ren Jie looked at Fang Tianen in surprise and said, "Fang Family Head, are you sure? Did I tell you these were rewards, or that these were consultation fees? I came to help the Fang Family Head purely because the Five Great Families are one body, and I couldn't bear to see Fang Qi, a young girl, poisoned. If it were for money, how much money could buy my Healing Sacred Medicine? I didn't ask for your money, I didn't extort you, I didn't ask for anything. Now I'm just asking you to fulfill your promise, and you're not even doing that."

Ren Jie looked at Fang Tianen with immense disdain: "Fang Family Head, if this is the case, it truly brings shame upon your Fang Family. If you just say you don't want to give it, then I won't take it, that's fine. To be honest, I don't care about this little bit of money. However, for the dignified Fang Family to not keep their promise, I'm afraid this matter will spread and bring shame upon your Fang Family's reputation."

Damn it, if you don't give it, then let everyone in the Bright Jade Dynasty know.

He would spread this matter first. After all, he was the one who saved Fang Qi. No matter how they explained it later, the impact would already be made.

The most crucial point was that they absolutely believed Ren Jie was capable of doing such a thing.

"Despicable..." Fang Yan gritted his teeth and uttered two words, but didn't dare to actually say them out loud. After all, Ren Jie was the Family Head of the Ren Family. If things escalated again, he was afraid it would be difficult for Fang Tianen and embarrassing for himself.

"Ren Tianxing indeed has a good son. The Ren Family Head is truly the most impressive Family Head I've ever seen in my life. Someone, bring the Ren Family Head a million Jade Coins and Jade Notes. Also, take out the sealed Profound Yin Sword and give it to the Ren Family Head. Ren Family Head, my daughter has just recovered from a serious illness, so I won't see you off. Someone, see the guests out." Fang Tianen now wished he could immediately throw these two guys out, as far away as possible.

He had been worried about Fang Qi just now, and Ren Jie had come gradually, so Fang Tianen hadn't felt it much. Thinking about it again now, he felt his heart bleeding.

"To be honest, this smelly place is really not a place for people to stay." Haha, mission accomplished. Ren Jie was also extremely happy in his heart. He didn't want to stay here either, especially since something was about to happen next.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately took Gao Ren and left quickly. The Fang Family's servants were quite fast. By the time they got into Beast Uncle's Spirit Beast Carriage, the Fang Family members had already brought ten large denomination Jade Notes of one hundred thousand each, and a short Jade Box was handed to Ren Jie.

"Wow, wow, wow, haha, we're rich! We finally don't have to look at those Elders' faces for a little bit of gold anymore..." As soon as they entered the Spirit Beast Carriage, Gao Ren couldn't hold back anymore. He grabbed the million Jade Notes he had just received and shouted excitedly.

Inside this Spirit Beast Carriage, there was no need to worry about others hearing any conversation, and there was no need to suppress themselves anymore.

"Refreshing, truly refreshing!" Ren Jie also sat down happily. This was more satisfying than directly killing that snake-hearted woman, not to mention he had also dealt with Fang Yan, who always acted like a petty person behind the scenes, making Fang Tianen, the Fang Family Head, almost jump with anger in the end. It was satisfying, too satisfying.

"A million Jade Coins, that's a full ten million taels of gold! And there's also a Middle-Grade Spirit Tool, which is also worth over a million Jade Coins. There's also the Silk Shop and the Pharmacy. The key is that we also got the Chang Le Gambling House, this golden goose that lays golden eggs. From now on, wealth will flow in continuously, haha..." Fatty hugged the box, holding the Jade Box of the Middle-Grade Spirit Tool in his left hand and the million Jade Coins and Jade Notes in his right hand, laughing excitedly non-stop.

"Ren Jie, my Fang Family is not done with you..." The words inside the carriage couldn't be heard outside, but the words outside could be heard clearly inside the carriage, unless they didn't want to hear them, which was another matter, just tell Beast Uncle. At this moment, their carriage hadn't left the Fang Family compound yet, when they suddenly heard an angry roar from a distance. It was Fang Tianen's roar.

Ren Jie and Gao Ren were both startled at the same time, and slowly looked at each other. The next moment, they burst into wild laughter.

"Haha..." Gao Ren was laughing so hard he was about to have a seizure.

"Yeah!" Ren Jie laughed and fist-bumped Fatty, because he had added something to the antidote. It wasn't harmful in any way, but it was enough to make the entire Fang Family stink for a few days.

At this moment, outside Fang Qi's room, many servants were throwing up violently from the stench inside. Fang Tianen and Fang Yan were also a little better by using their power to block their sense of smell, but seeing Fang Qi constantly vomiting black substances, with a foul odor coming from her body and mouth, Fang Tianen was completely enraged.

He finally couldn't help but let out an angry roar, because even a fool could see that this was definitely because Ren Jie had tampered with it.
