Meanwhile, An Moxue was attending a business banquet hosted by the upper class of the Little River Kingdom.

The banquet was already halfway through when An Moxue suddenly felt a dry mouth and throat. She knew she had been drugged.

In this family-centric country, it's difficult to make significant progress on your own; you have to cooperate with your family. An Moxue was looking for a partner this time, but despite her repeated precautions, she still fell into a trap. Even after drinking the spiritual spring water and taking the antidote pill, it was all to no avail. It seems she's been lured by a top-grade aphrodisiac, possibly even a secret drug.

As she walked out, she tried to contact the people waiting for her outside, but there was no response.

Her body grew increasingly hot, and she had no choice but to take out silver needles and prick herself a few times to barely stay conscious. Just as she was about to quicken her pace and leave, she was blocked by a well-dressed middle-aged man.

“Miss Jiduo, the banquet isn’t over yet, where are you going? Our cooperation hasn’t been finalized yet! I have high hopes for your company.” The man spoke seriously, but his eyes were fixed on An Moxue’s face.

"Fourth Mr., let's schedule another time to talk. I'll treat you then. I have urgent business to attend to and must leave now." An Moxue suppressed her discomfort, her vision blurred, and her body was clamoring with desire.

"No! Now's the perfect time, it'll be quick. It won't delay your plans." As the man spoke, he reached out to grab An Moxue, but she quickly shoved a pill into his mouth. It melted instantly, and An Moxue reappeared a few meters away.

"What did you give me to eat?" An Moxue didn't answer and ran outside.

The man shouted, "Help! Help! Grab that bitch! Don't let her get away!"

Several people came running from a distance, asking, "Third Young Master, who is it? Where are they?"

"Over there!" Upon looking, he was furious; there was no trace of An Moxue anywhere.

"You bitch!" He knew he couldn't catch her; she had gotten away.

An Moxue left the banquet hall and went straight to the parking lot. She found her car, but didn't see anyone who had come with her. She drove off with a sharp turn and disappeared in a flash.

I barely made it back to the hotel, went into the room, and without bothering to check if anything was in the room, I went into the bathroom, locked the door, went inside, and went straight to the shower in the bedroom to start taking a cold shower.

After an unknown amount of time, the person fainted.

When I woke up again, I found many bruises on my body, screaming in pain. I vaguely remembered that they were the result of self-harm in order to resist the effects of the medicine.

She was still completely exhausted, her face was pale, and she looked like she was seriously ill. She ate a bowl of congee and some side dishes, changed her clothes, and then left the space.

As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I heard the phone ringing incessantly.

An Moxue walked to the telephone, answered the phone, and said, "Hello!"

"Chief, how are you?" Boris asked anxiously.

"It's alright now, come here."

"yes."

The phone call ended, and a knock came at the door. An Moxue opened the door, and Boris immediately noticed that An Moxue looked more haggard than ever before.

"Chief, are you sure you're alright?" Boris asked suspiciously.

"Yes, everything's alright now. How long has it been since the banquet?"

Boris was surprised. "Chief, it's already the evening of the second day of the banquet, a whole day has passed."

An Moxue was surprised that so much time had passed. "Has the matter been investigated thoroughly?"

“Ever since I confirmed you were back in your hotel room, I’ve had two people guarding your door. I only called you because I was worried,” Boris explained to An Moxue, thinking he had disturbed her rest.

"Perfect timing, I just woke up, it's alright. Continue."

"Yes. The two people we were supposed to meet were intentionally moved from their positions. I was also distracted at the time, and by the time I found out, you had already returned to the hotel. That person is the third young master of the Fourth Family, a womanizer. However, this morning, there was news that he had suffered a stroke, is unable to take care of himself, cannot speak, and has facial paralysis. It's very serious. But, the inside story says he's about to go insane."

Hearing this, An Moxue felt relieved, smiled, and said, "Okay, I understand. You go ahead and get busy. I need to rest for two days before I can start working again."

Boris kindly asked, "Would you like something to eat? The people at the door won't leave yet; we can talk about it once you've recovered."

"Let's see if anyone orders a meal. Those at the door, please leave it at that for now!"

"Then, Chief, I'll go and get back to work."

"good."

Half an hour later, the delivery person arrived. An Moxue packed all the food into her space and then went inside to organize her documents.

She was busy for half a day, and although she still looked a little pale after taking a Guiyuan Pill, her complexion had improved significantly.

Judging from the information I obtained at great risk yesterday, the Fourth Family has developed very well in the past few years, but it has also made some enemies. Seeing this, An Moxue smiled: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

It's not impossible for ants to devour elephants, especially since their competitors aren't much weaker. If they find several competitors and divide the profits among themselves, they'll be tempted. They just need to plan carefully.

They just need an opportunity, an organizer, to devour the Fourth Family until nothing is left.

With the plan in place, An Moxue felt much more at ease. Even without leaving the house, Boris would keep sending her updates.

One piece of news has caught her attention: the Lu family wants to enter the iron ore mining industry, but they need a suitable foreign company to cooperate with them to avoid large amounts of domestic taxes.

"Go back and confirm the intelligence, and also pay attention to other information. Then call Zhuang Zhou and ask her to come over to discuss cooperation."

"Chief, aren't you going to invest in the name of Red Fox?"

“No, the Red Fox is playing a covert game in the Little River Kingdom, while the Popov family is in the open. This is useful, has a strong foundation, and sounds more convincing. I want to use this family as a starting point to connect all the families together. However, once Zhuang Zhou arrives, you two can discuss the specifics. I have to go back to Puda Prefecture; things there are more urgent. You can focus on making arrangements here first, and I will come over when the time comes.”

“Okay.” Boris was excited when he heard this. This Fourth Family was one of the five great families of the River Kingdom. Although it was ranked fifth, it was still very powerful.

An Moxue looked at him and said, "Satisfied? It's a long way off! When will we be able to obtain large-scale mining rights and oil extraction rights in Russia? At that time, we can travel by private jet."

Boris's eyes lit up immediately. "Chief, when? I will definitely carry out the tasks assigned to me by the chief strictly."

"We will definitely achieve it within ten years."
