Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Xiang’s face looked cold. He said nothing and walked past the assistant to enter the house instead. Xiang Nan had to be in there.

“Hey, Lucky. Hold on…”

The assistant was unable to stop Huo Xiang, so he closed the door and followed behind Huo Xiang.

After entering the living room, Huo Xiang saw Xiang Nan sitting on the couch as anticipated.

“Where did you get the audio file from.” Huo Xiang looked at Xiang Nan and cut to the chase.

Xiang Nan was sitting with his legs crossed. He stood up with calm on his gentle-looking face. “It was my creation.”

“No one else is here, so don’t bother putting on an act. We both know whether you have what it takes to create such a song,” said Huo Xiang deeply.

Xiang Nan sneered. “Are you the only person who is capable of creating songs? Lucky, aren’t you being a little too unreasonable?”

Xiang Nan abhorred Huo Xiang for acting lofty as though he was the only person capable of songwriting. Even though Xiang Nan possessed great musical talent, he kept getting eclipsed by Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang looked at Xiang Nan. Despite working together for years, they ended up being complete strangers. He pursed his lips mockingly. “I don’t care whether you are capable of making any music or not. All I want to know is where you got that song from!”

Xiang Nan pursed his lips. His face looked cold as he persisted. “I can write music too! You are the one who stole my ideas.”

Huo Xiang looked at him quietly. Moments later, he turned to leave without saying a word.

Xiang Nan watched from behind as Huo Xiang left. However, Huo Xiang had left without saying anything. This was simply out of character for him.

Xiang Nan narrowed his eyes as he thought about the audio file’s source. He retrieved his phone from his pocket to open his address book and swiped down to Lu Xia’s number, whom he had spoken to, an hour ago. He called her.

Before long, he got through.

“Your older brother came knocking at my door and asked about the source of the song,” said Xiang Nan immediately.

Lu Xia had already anticipated this and replied in a serene voice. “It’s your music. What are you afraid of?”

“I’m very curious about how you obtained this audio file,” asked Xiang Nan.

He had asked Lu Xia about this when she first approached him, but she told him nothing. She had only claimed that she could help him make Huo Xiang lose his standing and reputation.

At first, Xiang Nan did not take her seriously. However, he could not help feeling resentful as Huo Xiang’s popularity soared, so he posted the song online.

“You don’t have to know where it came from. Now that you possess the complete song, there’s no way he can talk his way out of this mess since he has no evidence,” said Lu Xia unhurriedly.

She paused and said with absolute certainty, “Trust me. Nothing will go wrong.”

The slight sense of uneasiness that Xiang Nan felt gradually faded after he heard the confidence in Lu Xia’s voice. “I hope you mean it. Or else, you will get implicated as well.”

“You don’t have to remind me. Stop calling me,” said Lu Xia calmly.

“Okay. I’m hanging up now.” Xiang Nan acknowledged her perfunctorily before disconnecting the call.

With Lu Xia’s assurance, Xiang Nan stopped fretting over it.

Lu Xia hung up the phone with a cold look in her eyes. At the thought of all the censure that her fourth older brother was going to face, she could not help smiling.

Who told him to despise her? Who told him to treat her with contempt?

Now that his own song undid Huo Xiang, she wondered how on earth he was going to extricate himself from this situation.

Lu Xia’s mood lifted gradually. She turned to walk back into the living room but ended up seeing Lu Ziming standing nearby.
