Chapter 161 I'm Willing to Step Down
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone pretend to be something they're not in court. It's truly an extraordinary thing. Sir, could you sentence him to the crime of pretentiousness? It's really disgusting to watch!"
Tong Anjin stood up and said mockingly.
“Of course,” the chief lawyer sneered. “This constitutes contempt of court, and that is punishable by law!”
"Come on, cuff them!" the chief lawyer commanded authoritatively, and the court personnel responsible for maintaining order came over with handcuffs.
"Let's see how you turn things around this time!" Tong Anjin said gloatingly.
If Xiao Chen dares to make a move in court, he will be committing a serious crime.
With so many reporters here today, if this gets reported, the capital will have to send people to deal with him.
"Xiao Chen, what should we do?" Xiao Jialin asked Xiao Chen, letting him make the decision.
“I’ve hired someone to defend us,” Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Even if you invited the King of Heaven himself, it wouldn't make a difference!" the chief lawyer rebuked.
"You bastard!" A loud shout suddenly rang out, full of vigor.
The sound came from the doorway.
The door opened, and two elderly people with gray hair walked in.
"Who goes there? How dare you roar in court!" the barrister shouted, his eyes wide.
“Judge Song, you’re quite impressive…” one of them said with a long face and a meaningful look.
Upon hearing this, the barrister frowned deeply, adjusted his glasses, and focused his attention to examine the matter closely.
He should have looked away; once he did, his face froze instantly, revealing a look of fear.
"Attorney... Attorney General... What brings you here?" He was quite startled and hurriedly ran down from the stage to greet him.
"The Chief Attorney? That's the Chief Attorney of Jiang City! All the lawyers in Jiang City are under his jurisdiction. Why would he be here?" A reporter recognized the important figure and quickly turned his camera around.
"Chief Lawyer..." The Tong family members' expressions became very unnatural.
Such individuals generally do not handle legal affairs and rarely appear in court.
Could this be the reinforcements Xiao Chen was talking about...?
Does he have that ability?
"Attorney General, you could have just given me instructions. Why did you have to come all the way here in person?" The chief attorney said with a forced smile, bowing and scraping, completely unlike his previous arrogant demeanor.
"Get out of my way!" the barrister coldly rebuked, making him even more terrified.
"President Tian, please..." The chief lawyer stepped aside to let the elderly man next to him go first, showing great respect.
Everyone looked astonished.
Who exactly is this person?
In the entire city of Jiang, no one could elicit such an attitude from the Chief Lawyer…
"A master of medicine, president of the Pharmacist Association!" The old man, Dongfang Ruyi, revealed his identity.
"What!" Everyone present was shocked.
The Pharmacists Association is an official organization at the same level as the Physicians Association.
The president of the Pharmacists Association, also known as the Master of Pharmacy, is several ranks below even the Chief Lawyer!
Even if the biggest guy in Jiang City came, he would have to bow down to this guy.
He was not only a high-ranking official, but also a renowned meritorious figure in the Xia Kingdom, whose status was so lofty that it was beyond the reach of others.
This is a national treasure of the Xia Kingdom!
Such a prominent figure actually graced Jiang City with his presence...
"Click, click, click..." The camera shutter kept clicking, and the apothecary master was the focus at this moment.
"Chairman Tian, is there any important business you have in Jiang City?" the reporters began to ask.
"Of course, I was invited to Jiang City to meet the rising star of my Xia Kingdom, a genius in the pharmaceutical industry!" Chairman Tian said with a smile.
"President Tian, who are you talking about?" Everyone was extremely curious.
"Does our Jiang City still have such outstanding individuals?"
Chairman Tian looked ahead.
"Mr. Xiao Chen should be here, right?" he said.
The courtroom immediately fell silent.
"President Tian, you must be tired from your long journey." Xiao Chen stood up and said with a smile.
"I am Xiao Chen."
Chairman Tian was shocked and stared at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
"You...you're so young! To have achieved such astonishing things at such a young age! It's truly an unprecedented feat!"
Before he arrived, he thought that the person who could accomplish such a feat must be a seasoned expert who had been immersed in drug research for many years, but he never expected it to be such a young man.
Chairman Tian was hesitant to believe it.
"Did you really make the Rejuvenation Pill?" he asked solemnly.
“It was him. He did it all by himself. No one helped him. I can testify to that,” Dongfang Ruyi said.
"You are..." Chairman Tian glanced at Dongfang Ruyi, somewhat surprised.
It is clear that the two sides have met before.
"If you saw it with your own eyes, then it must be true." He smiled.
"Xiao Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chairman Tian took the initiative to walk towards Xiao Chen and extended his hand to shake hands with him.
Everyone was even more astonished.
President Tian's attitude clearly shows that he regards Xiao Chen as a pharmacist of the same level.
After the handshake.
"It is a blessing for Xia Kingdom to have such an outstanding pharmacist as you!" Chairman Tian said earnestly.
"Given your exceptional performance, I would like to extend an invitation on behalf of the Pharmacists Association to join us and become one of our top-tier pharmacists!"
Chairman Tian's words immediately caused an uproar throughout the entire courtroom.
Everyone had a look on their face as if to say, "Did I hear that right?"
The president of the Pharmacists Association personally came to plead for my membership, bestowing upon me the title of a "Hall of Fame" pharmacist...
This is unprecedented!
Even if Xiao Chen is really that powerful and developed the Rejuvenation Pill on his own, it shouldn't be this bad, right?
Looking at Chairman Tian's expression, which was a mixture of admiration and deep respect, with an expression of complete submission, it was truly perplexing.
He is the most outstanding pharmacist in the Xia Kingdom...
The Tong family was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on here, Pharmacist Association President?
This is a courtroom scene, and Xiao Chen is about to be convicted...
Was he an actor that Xiao Chen paid to hire?
"If you're willing, I can give you my position as chairman!" Chairman Tian said, and he wasn't joking.
This was nothing short of a huge shock, and everyone broke down.
Even the Xiao family was taken aback.
Is Xiao Chen's Rejuvenation Pill really that powerful? Isn't that an exaggeration?
"President Tian, you're going too far... The president of the Pharmacist Association isn't someone anyone can just be. No one in Xia Kingdom is more suitable than you!" the chief lawyer advised.
"President Tian, what is your basis for this claim? There's more than one Rejuvenation Pill, isn't there?" Dongfang Ruyi asked seriously.
The position of president of the Pharmacists Association is too high a level to be taken lightly.
"The Rejuvenation Pill is truly amazing. Xiao Chen's skill is beyond doubt, no less than mine," Chairman Tian said with a smile.
"But he sent more than just one Rejuvenation Pill to the capital; there was another kind of medicine as well..."
"That was a problem that I and hundreds of members of the Pharmacist Association had been working on for more than ten years without success, but the medicine he delivered far exceeded our initial expectations. It was truly a miracle of life!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
Is there any medicine more remarkable than the Rejuvenation Pill?
Everyone is waiting for Chairman Tian's next move.
"That medicine can allow people to break through the limits of lifespan!" Chairman Tian said, emphasizing each word.
In an instant, the entire courtroom fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly, pondering those words.
Life extension has always been a topic of concern for humankind.
Throughout history and across the world, countless emperors have flocked to Taoist practices and consumed elixirs, all in the hope of living a few more years.
In today's world, countless high-ranking officials and nobles still relentlessly pursue ways to prolong their lives.
Thousands of years have passed, and no one has been able to accomplish this feat; all that remains are folk tales that can never be verified.
And now, someone has actually broken the limit!
Shocking!
