He paused, then added, "However, Old Ye, I've already made up my mind. Absolutely under no circumstances will I hand the formula over to her. Leaving aside the fact that most of the credit for this formula belongs to you, Old Ye, once it's handed over, Yiren Ruxue will collapse in no time. In terms of competition, without the monopoly advantage of Flawless Ointment, it will be extremely, extremely difficult to compete with those major brands. If that happens, I would become the chief culprit behind the destruction of Yiren Ruxue, and the resulting losses would be in the tens of billions! This is something I cannot do, and am not capable of doing. I cannot destroy your empire just to save my own skin!"
"So I've thought it through. If she wants to sue me, let her sue! Even if my reputation is ruined in the end and I'm wronged and sent to prison, I'll accept it! The worst-case scenario is doing a few years inside. If you don't mind, I can come back and work for you after I get out. Hehe, anyway, no matter what, I won't let her succeed! As for you, Old Ye, knowing that you were willing to use the formula to clear my name is already more than enough. But we must never destroy Yiren Ruxue—an empire that will be worth hundreds of billions in the future—just because of a few years of wrongful imprisonment and a ruined reputation!"
As he spoke, color gradually returned to Pang Jun's face, replacing the earlier pallor.
