Chapter 188 Old Master Huo is furious!

Meanwhile, inside the top-tier independent laboratory specially set up for Su Yue at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing.

Su Yue did not relax because of the temporary victory.

She is currently working on further optimization and improvement of the "dampness-removing and blood-activating patch" formula.

"If we increase the proportion of 'Smilax china' to 0.3%, and supplement it with the volatile oil of 'Herba Penis'... it might increase the speed of drug penetration by another 5%..."

As she rapidly calculated on the manuscript paper, she simultaneously constructed complex molecular models in her mind.

Suddenly, her pen stopped.

An extremely accidental deduction result flashed through her mind like lightning.

Under certain high temperature and high pressure conditions, when a certain trace element of these two medicinal materials combines, a neurotoxin with an extremely hidden molecular structure is produced!

The amount of this toxin is extremely small and cannot be detected by conventional testing, but long-term and large-scale use is enough to cause irreversible damage to the human body!

Su Yue's heart sank.

This is no coincidence!

The formula and production process she designed could never have those extreme conditions!

Unless... someone tampered with the raw materials!

Without any hesitation, she immediately grabbed the phone beside her and dialed Chief Engineer He on Hainan Island.

As soon as the call connected, Su Yue's voice carried an undeniable urgency.

"Chief Engineer He! Immediately shut down all production lines for the dampness-removing and blood-activating patches!"

Chief Engineer He on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

"Huh? Comrade Su Yue? What's wrong? The production line is running perfectly fine..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Su Yue's tone became stern. "Immediately test your latest batch of 'Skin Dragon'! Focus on testing whether it contains any derivatives of 'Cyclooctaneamine'!"

Cyclooctaneamine?

This unfamiliar chemical term made Chief Engineer He's mind go blank for a moment.

But he immediately remembered the tiny, unusual fluctuation on the instrument!

Could it be...?

A chill instantly shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

He threw down the phone and scrambled towards the laboratory and production workshop.

A dozen minutes later, the phone rang again, and Chief Engineer He's voice was trembling with sobs and uncontrollable fear.

"Comrade Su... Su Yue... how... how did you know?"

"That batch of medicinal herbs really... really contained that kind of thing!"

"We have already produced five thousand finished products... and... and another thousand, which just left the warehouse half an hour ago and were sent to the northernmost border post!"

boom!

The news caused the air in the entire Gu family study to freeze.

To a border post?

The soldiers there are stationed in the icy and snowy land all year round. Rheumatism and bone disease are the most common injuries and pains. For them, the dampness-removing and blood-activating patches are life-saving treasures!

If these thousand toxic patches were actually used... the consequences would be unimaginable!

In Deputy Commander Zhou's office, he had just learned that the medicated patches had been successfully shipped out, and a cold and smug smile appeared on his face.

He could already foresee the "good show" that would unfold a few days later: a mass incident at the border outpost, Su Yue's disgrace, and the Gu family in utter chaos.

However, he miscalculated one thing.

That's Su Yue's reaction speed.

On the other end of the phone, upon hearing the news, Su Yue's face did not show the slightest panic.

The extreme crisis, ironically, made her mind calmer and clearer than ever before.

She spoke into the phone in an extremely cold tone, issuing orders one by one, clearly and decisively.

"Chief Engineer He, listen up!"

"First, immediately seal off all finished products, semi-finished products, and raw materials in the warehouse. No one is allowed to approach! Security personnel are to keep a 24-hour watch on them!"

"Second, at all costs! Contact the military region, use all available connections, even if it means sending fighter jets to chase after them, we must intercept that batch of medicine patches that has already left the warehouse and bring them back intact! Not a single one can be missing!"

"Third, immediately release a public announcement saying that the pharmaceutical company has discovered a major technological breakthrough and all production lines have been shut down for technological upgrades! Make the biggest fuss possible!"

The series of orders, clear and concise, hit the nail on the head, instantly calming the disoriented Chief Engineer He on the other end of the phone.

"Okay! Okay! I'll get on it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, the study was deathly silent.

Gu Beichen walked to her side and covered her cold hand with his broad palm.

He didn't ask anything, but the murderous intent in his eyes was almost tangible.

Su Yue raised her head and looked at her husband. In his beautiful eyes, there was no fear, no anger, only a bottomless, icy pool.

She knew this was no accident.

This was a meticulously planned, incredibly precise, and deadly strike by the enemy.

"They want to set Hainan Island on fire and burn us to ashes."

Su Yue's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Then let's set fire to their headquarters in Beijing! Burn them until they're left with nothing but their underwear!"

She turned around, picked up another phone on the table, and precisely dialed a number that spanned thousands of miles on the dial.

When the call connected, her voice was calm yet carried a thunderous power.

"Grandpa, it's me, Yueyue."

The moment the call connected, in the Mid-Levels villa in Hong Kong, Old Master Huo was holding a cup of premium Pu'er tea, resting with his eyes closed.

He listened to his granddaughter's sweet, gentle voice with a soft, melodious accent from the Jiangnan water towns on the phone, and his heart melted.

"Yueyue, why are you calling Grandpa at this hour? Do you miss Grandpa? Or did that Gu family brat bully you? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will send someone to break his legs!"

Grandpa Huo's voice was full of doting affection as he began to consider whether to fly to Beijing tomorrow and bring his granddaughter to Hong Kong to rest during her pregnancy.

However, Su Yue's next words made him freeze instantly.

"grandfather."

Su Yue's voice remained calm, but beneath that calmness lay an extreme, suppressed coldness.

“Someone wants me dead and wants to ruin my reputation. They targeted my pharmaceutical factory.”

On the other end of the phone, the kind smile on Old Master Huo's face disappeared little by little.

He slowly put down his teacup, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked out.

In his eyes, which had weathered countless storms, a tempest was brewing and a murderous aura was boiling.

Explain clearly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a terrifying, oppressive feeling, like a storm was brewing.

Su Yue used the most concise language to reveal Deputy Commander Zhou's conspiracy and the existence of the poison patch.

When she said, "They wanted to use poisonous patches to harm the soldiers at the northern border post."

Grandpa Huo on the other end of the phone suddenly stood up!

"This is outrageous!"

A roar shook the windows of the entire villa, making them vibrate!

"These beasts are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Old Master Huo was so angry that he trembled all over, his chest heaving violently.

He had spent his life in the business world and had seen all sorts of conspiracies and tricks, but this despicable tactic of using the life of a national hero as a bargaining chip had completely crossed his bottom line!
