His fingers tapped the table unconsciously, making a dull sound, each tap striking the heart: "The medicines in the clinic have been passed down from my father, and there have been no mistakes in decades. They are all from reliable old sources... How could such a problem occur?"
Chen Xiaoxi sat next to Old Man Chen, her face somewhat pale: "Dad, the Market Supervision Bureau said that the batch of angelica and astragalus that were sampled... has many indicators that seriously exceed the standards, there is indeed a problem."
She looked up at Lu Qingzhou, her almond-shaped eyes, which always held a smile, now filled with helplessness. "Qingzhou, they said some patients used our medicine and their condition worsened... That's impossible!"
Xu Yang glanced at the Chen father and daughter, and seeing them pacing anxiously, he was secretly delighted.
He, who had remained silent until now, picked up where Chen Xiaoxi left off, his tone deliberately low and heavy: "Master, junior sister, now is not the time to investigate the channels. If the patients cause a scene, and the media sensationalizes it, our century-old 'Taihe' brand will be ruined..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but his heavy sigh and head shake were more lethal than any words. His peripheral vision flashed quickly over Lu Qingzhou, carrying a barely perceptible hint of cold provocation.
Lu Qingzhou keenly noticed the murderous glint in Xu Yang's eyes.
Something suddenly came to mind, "Uncle Chen, Xiaoxi, don't be in such a hurry."
"The damage has already happened; the important thing is how to resolve it. Give me some time, and I'll find someone to help me investigate."
He stood up, walked to the window, and casually took out his phone, as if he just wanted some fresh air.
The screen lit up, and he quickly opened a pinned chat window labeled "Yao Yao's Wife," his fingers flying across the screen: "Qing Yao, it's extremely urgent! Xiao Xi's family clinic is in big trouble. The medicinal herbs have been found to have serious problems, and I suspect that someone tampered with them at the source or in the middle."
I need your lab's top team to secretly identify several medicinal herb samples and compare their batch origins—the sooner the better! I'll try to get the samples as quickly as possible.
After sending the message, his fingers flew across the keyboard as he immediately clicked on another profile picture labeled "Shaohua's Wife." The message was even more concise and powerful: "Sister Shaohua, use your connections to target Taihe Medical Clinic. Check all the surveillance footage of medicinal materials entering and leaving the warehouse over the past month, especially during non-normal working hours. The more detailed the better. Someone is trying to cause trouble."
at this time,
Champs-Élysées Villa
Su Qingyao, Zhang Ruoshui, and the others sat together.
The two heard a message notification sound on their phones.
After glancing at the message Lu Qingzhou had sent them, the two women were both taken aback.
They were just analyzing the Chen Family Medical Clinic.
Mu Shaohua and the others had already learned this news from Zhang Ruoshui.
And they have already begun to act according to Zhang Ruoshui's instructions.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingzhou's idea was the same as that of their mother-in-law, Zhang Ruoshui.
The two exchanged a glance and each handed their phone to Zhang Ruoshui.
When Zhang Ruoshui saw the contents of their phones, she immediately laughed: "No wonder he's my son, he thinks just like his old mother, haha!"
......
The sky outside the window had completely sunk into a deep inky blue, and the city's neon lights lit up one after another, reflecting a bizarre and surreal light onto the windowpane.
The atmosphere in the office was so oppressive it was making me feel a bit stifled!
Xu Yang's gaze was fixed on Lu Qingzhou's back, and he felt somewhat irritated.
He wanted to break the suffocating silence several times, but looking at Lu Qingzhou's back, he forcibly suppressed his words.
After sending the message, Lu Qingzhou put his phone in his pocket, walked back to Chen Xiaoxi's side, patted her shoulder gently, and gave her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen said that the herbal medicine supplier has been a long-term channel for the clinic for decades. I think they should pay more attention to the quality of the herbs than we do..."
"Ding-dong!"
"Ding-dong!"
Before Lu Qingzhou could finish speaking, almost simultaneously, the phone he was holding vibrated twice.
The moment the screen lit up, he quickly tapped it.
Su Qingyao: "The samples will be sent through the secure channel immediately. I'll have someone monitor it, and the results will be available within 24 hours."
Mu Shaohua: "Monitoring privileges have been obtained. We are currently screening. If there is anything suspicious, it will be revealed."
Lu Qingzhou's tightly clenched lips twitched almost imperceptibly, as if an invisible force had been injected into them.
He secretly thought to himself, "My wives are awesome! They acted so quickly!"
He turned around and looked at Chen Xiaoxi and her father: his voice was not loud, but firm: "Uncle Chen, Xiaoxi, there's progress on this matter. Wait for my news."
He didn't explain further, only giving Chen Xiaoxi and Old Man Chen a firm look before striding towards the door.
As Lu Qingzhou passed by Xu Yang, he didn't even pause for a moment, completely ignoring Xu Yang's face, which had instantly turned gloomy and ashen, and the resentment that was about to burst forth from his eyes.
The heavy wooden door opened and closed again, and the footsteps quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Xu Yang stared at the wooden door that had opened and closed repeatedly, and gritted his teeth.
Then, with a mocking look in his eyes, he turned to Chen Xiaoxi and said, "Junior Sister Xiaoxi, when looking for a boyfriend, you should look for someone with a sense of responsibility. What's the use of just talking big? What can you expect to see in such a short time!"
Chen Xiaoxi glared at him, not in the mood to pay him any attention.
Seeing Chen Xiaoxi's disgusted expression, Xu Yang's face immediately turned ugly. He grunted and turned his head away.
A deathly silence returned to the office, thicker and colder than before.
