After arranging the work of others, Lu Anning immediately returned to Sun Miao's office. Tang Jingyuan had already opened Sun Miao's computer, but the content inside had been deleted very cleanly, without any trace. This just proved that Sun Miao had a big problem.

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

"The other party must have planned this long ago. All the records in the computer have been cleared. It's very clean."

"What should we do then?"

"Give me a little more time."

Tang Jingyuan tried to recover the data that had been cleared from his computer. Lu Anning didn't bother him. Instead, he went to the tea room and made him some tea. He then sent a message to the company's executives' work group, asking them to immediately find a way to contact other drug dealers, purchase medicinal materials, and expedite production so that the batch of drugs could be re-produced before the delivery date to minimize the losses.

However, the quantity of this batch of medicine is a bit large, and it is not easy to find a suitable supplier of medicinal materials in a short period of time.

After thinking it over, she finally called Gu Yue.

"Brother, I'm in trouble here and may need your help."

Gu Yue was still in the clinic. When she saw her and Tang Jingyuan leave in a hurry, she guessed that something difficult had happened.

"Whatever it is, just tell me."

"There's a problem with a batch of medicine I have. I can't use it and need to redo it. I'm short of the ingredients. Do you have any in your warehouse?"

"I didn't think it was a big deal. We have our own medicinal fields and warehouses, so of course it's enough. Send me the list of what you need, and I'll have the warehouse get it ready for you."

Gu Yue agreed to Lu Anning's request without hesitation. Gu's family was large in scale, so naturally they had sufficient reserves of medicinal materials to fully meet Hai Tian's requirements, provided that Gu's family itself did not have too much demand.

As soon as Gu Yue received the list, he sent it to his assistant Lu Na, asking her to prepare the herbs and send them to the Haitian production line.

Just after the message was sent, Gu Yue's phone rang again.

"Boss Gu, I'm afraid the warehouse can't allocate this amount for the time being."

Gu Yue frowned and said, "Are you kidding me? Gu's has such a large warehouse and its own medicinal fields, and you're telling me you can't mix it?"

"Mr. Gu, you forgot, we just signed a big deal with an overseas pharmaceutical company, and we can't make any mistakes. If this cooperation is successful, our drugs will be able to completely open up the overseas market."

Gu Yue looked troubled. "Don't worry about that batch of medicine. Listen to me. Prepare the herbs and send them to Haitian first. The production line will continue as usual. If there is not enough, I will find a way to find a drug dealer to make up for it."

"Boss Gu, Haitian is not important to us. If we do this, I'm afraid the board of directors will..."

"Assistant Lu, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Boss Gu, I don't have any."

"Since you don't have it, why don't you do it? I hope you can put yourself in the right position and do your job well."

Gu Yue was unhappy and quickly hung up the phone. When he turned around, he bumped into Gong Ming who was watching the show.

He put one hand in his pocket, played with his lighter with the other, and looked at Gu Yue with a smile.

Gu Yue glanced at him coldly: "Mr. Gong, are you free?"

"Compared to Mr. Gu, I'm naturally very free. So, I want to ask Mr. Gu what trouble he's encountered."

"I appreciate Master Gong's kindness. It's just a small matter, I can handle it myself."

Gong Ming laughed. "I heard everything. President Gu truly loves my sister. He's willing to disregard his own company's interests and help her first. In my opinion, Haitian isn't too big or too small; it could easily become a branch of the Gu Group. You're already family, so why make things so complicated? What do you think?"

Gu Yue smiled faintly: "My little sister likes it. Even if she asks me to buy two more companies for fun, I will pay without hesitation. A few medicinal herbs are nothing. Young Master Gong doesn't have a sister, so naturally he won't understand this feeling."

The smile on Gong Ming's face froze. Tang Jingyuan laughed at him for being single, and now Gu Yue laughed at him for not having a sister.

Is it amazing?

"The Gu family is wealthy and powerful. I hope you can always speak so confidently."

Gong Ming glanced at Gu Yue, walked past him, and was suddenly stopped by Gu Yue.

"Gong Ming, no matter what you and your father are thinking, as long as I'm here, I won't allow you to harm my mother and An Ning. It would be best if you behave yourself and don't interfere with each other. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving the Gong family a chance to gain a foothold in Kyoto."

Gong Ming laughed after hearing this: "Gu Yue, you don't really think that the Gu family can dominate Kyoto! Times have changed, and you shouldn't keep living in the past. Whether you can gain a firm foothold depends on your strength."

"I'll wait and see!"

The problem of medicinal materials has been temporarily solved, but Lu Anning still needs to find a new drug dealer as soon as possible to return this batch of medicinal materials as soon as possible.

Lu Anning collected his thoughts and returned to the office. Tang Jingyuan had almost recovered.

Most of the deleted files were records of the quantity of medicinal materials entering and leaving the country, and there was no direct evidence pointing to Sun Miao being instructed by someone.

"It's just some records, but Sun Miao deleted them. It shows how cautious he is. It seems that only by finding me can we find the answer."

"Now Sun Miao can't be contacted, where can I find him?"

Tang Jingyuan was silent for a while: "The most urgent thing is to deal with this batch of medicine first. I'll have someone keep an eye on the matter of finding someone. If you can't find it, ask big brother for help first!"

"I've already made an agreement with my eldest brother, but I heard he recently signed a big deal with an overseas pharmaceutical company. Even if I borrow it for emergency use, I still need to buy the herbs as soon as possible to make up for it. Otherwise, my eldest brother will be in trouble."

Gu's company moved quickly. Just as Lu Anning finished sorting things out, a new batch of medicinal herbs arrived, all of them of the highest quality. After Lu Anning personally signed for them and confirmed they were all correct, he immediately ordered the production line to work overtime to minimize delivery delays.

As for purchasing medicinal materials...

Lu Anning thought about it and decided to go talk to the three original suppliers of medicinal herbs. The situation was not as bad as she thought. The other party answered Lu Anning's call and they arranged to meet at a teahouse at 3 pm.

She didn't let Tang Jingyuan accompany her anymore, and they each went back to the company. Those who had a good relationship with Sun Miao before were on pins and needles after knowing that Sun Miao had run away, fearing that Lu Anning would blame them.

Lu Anning didn't lose his temper. Instead, he found the contract he had signed with the medicinal material supplier and carefully reviewed it. He then inquired with the person who had handled the matter to understand any potential problems in the cooperation between the two parties. After clarifying these, Lu Anning took Zhong Ling to the teahouse they had agreed to meet.

The agreed time had come, but there was still no sign of the person coming. Zhong Ling became a little impatient.

"Mr. Lu, they haven't arrived yet. Are they trying to play a trick on us?"

Lu Anning looked down at the time. It was three twenty.

"We'll see later."

It was not until half past three, when Lu An Ning was about to contact the other party again, that the three people finally arrived.
