"Still," he continued, "Old Ye, I've already made up my mind. There is absolutely no way I will hand over the formula to her. Putting aside the fact that the credit for this formula largely belongs to you, once it's handed over, Yiren Ruxue will collapse in no time. Without the advantage of a monopoly, the Flawless Ointment simply won't be able to compete with those major brands. If that happens, I'd become the culprit who destroyed Yiren Ruxue, and the resulting losses would be in the tens of billions! This is something I cannot and will not do. I won't 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 and I end up wrongfully imprisoned, I accept my fate! At worst, I'll serve a few years. If you don't mind, I'll come back and work for you after I get out. Hehe, anyway, no matter what, I won't let her get her way! As for you, Old Ye, knowing that you were willing to use the formula to clear my name is already enough for me. But we must never destroy Yiren Ruxue—this empire worth tens of billions in the future—just because of a few years of wrongful imprisonment and a ruined reputation!"
As he spoke, the color gradually returned to Pang Jun's face, sweeping away the pallor from moments before.
