Chapter 1311: 1311

Chapter 1311 This Crap, Feeling Aggrieved!

After Chen Peilun entered the police station, Fang Qiu turned around to leave.

As he made his way to the airport, he dialed Li Ji’s number.

“Hello?”

The phone was connected.

“Check out a bank account for me.”

Fang Qiu said, “I’ve texted you the account number. I want to know about the transactions in this bank account for the past few months.”

“Alright, I’ll give you an answer in the afternoon.”

Li Ji nodded knowingly and hung up.

Although Chen Peilun had turned himself in, Fang Qiu had to continue his own investigation.

He needed to confirm something. Were Chen Peilun and Li Guangsheng telling the truth? Could there be any other hidden secrets?

Fang Qiu arrived at the airport.

He bought an air ticket and flew back to the cultivation base to take charge of matters there.

The matter was under detailed investigation, yet its chain reaction wouldn’t quieten down any time soon. Therefore, Fang Qiu had to be always ready to deal with unexpected situations.

In the afternoon…

In the office of the Beijiang cultivation base…

Fang Qiu received a call from Li Ji.

“What did you find out?”

Fang Qiu asked when he took the call.

“I checked it out.”

Li Ji’s voice sounded a little dismal. “Money entered the account through various channels and appeared scattered. Most of the sources could not be traced. But finally, I checked up on them and managed to find the originator.”

“Who was it?”

Fang Qiu hurriedly asked.

“It’s not just one person.”

Li Ji gave a light sigh and continued, “This matter is related to several Chinese Medicine companies.”

Fang Qiu was stunned by that.

“What Li Guangsheng said is true?”

“To avoid causing a public outcry, you must be careful how you handle this.”

Li Ji reminded him, “After all, it’s by no means a trivial matter. Too many companies are involved in this. Once it is made public, it’ll severely damage the reputation of the Chinese Medicine industry. Your Renyi Group could be unyielding support, and stand firm in this severe crisis. But our country can’t stand such a massive upheaval. The Chinese Medicine industry, which has just risen, can’t afford it either.”

Indeed…

Fang Qiu knew if Li Guangsheng told the truth, the whole thing would become complicated.

Judging from the information provided by Li Ji…

A huge number of Chinese Medicine companies had been involved in this matter.

The Chinese Medicine industry accounted for not only a small share of the global economy. If all the Chinese Medicine companies in the market involved in this matter were exposed, people would lose trust in traditional Chinese medicine. What was worse, the incident might cause financial turmoil!

“I’ll send you the list and the series of evidence later. You can decide how to deal with them then.”

Li Ji said.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded to show he understood and ended the call.

A minute later…

The list and information were sent to Fang Qiu’s mobile phone.

He opened the list. When Fang Qiu scanned through the long list of names in silence, his face instantly changed — he felt shocked and outraged!

As Fang Qiu had expected…

It was exactly what Li Guangsheng had said.

Almost all the well-known Chinese Medicine companies were on this list, including the thirty companies that provided traditional Chinese medicine for his company!

“Great.”

“On the surface, they provided qualified medicinal herbs, but behind the scenes, they harbored such evil intentions!”

Fang Qiu was furious.

In the beginning, each of the 30 companies offered 50 million Huaxia coins to come aboard and secure a place to provide Chinese medicinal herbs for the Foundation.

However, it had only been a short time.

Why would these people bring trouble upon themselves?

They had also invested in the Foundation.

So, what the hell was their purpose?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Fang Qiu pondered for a while.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out why these companies would do this.

“Whew…”

Fang Qiu shook his head and tried to clear his mind.

It had already happened.

There was no point in thinking about why they would do this.

He clicked on his phone’s contact list.

He quickly found Zhao Shanlin’s phone number and dialed it.

“Hello?”

The call was soon picked up.

“Mr. Zhao.”

Fang Qiu called out and said, “Could I trouble you to do something?”

“Go ahead.”

Zhao Shanlin’s voice could be heard.

“I want you to help me find out the actual situation of Chinese medicinal herbs in the market.”

Fang Qiu said.

“Investigating the market?”

Zhao Shanlin asked with a smile, “I’ve wanted to do that for a long time, but I’ve been busy. I happen to be free these days, so I’ll go out and investigate later.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

He remembered what Xu Miaolin had said quite clearly: traditional Chinese medicine had become the deadliest barrier in restricting the development of Chinese Medicine!

The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine was no longer as potent as before.

But Fang Qiu didn’t know the specific situation of traditional Chinese medicine in the market today.

After such a scandal, he should try to find out the actual situation. He’d better learn about the status quo of traditional Chinese medicine, in case of an emergency!

After the phone call…

Fang Qiu continued to view the materials.

After he went through the entire list and the chain of evidence of all the dirty deals, Fang Qiu lapsed into a morose silence. The facts made his blood boil. In a towering rage, he even wanted to overturn the table!

He knew…

Once this matter was exposed, the market for traditional Chinese medicine would become volatile. It would bring immeasurable harm to the Chinese Medicine industry!

“This is why they had nothing to fear, right?”

At the thought of this…

Fang Qiu lapsed into complete silence.

Meanwhile, he felt anger rising sharply inside him!

Here…

The news that Chen Peilun had turned himself in quickly spread to the Blackhill Gate Village police station.

Because this case happened in Blackhill Gate Village, it was handled by the local police station. The police stations and departments in other places could only assist in the investigation.

As soon as the message was received…

Chief Pan Mingrui took his subordinates to Yangcheng Airport. When they received the bank card from Chen Peilun, they began interrogating him overnight without returning to Blackhill Gate Village.

After an entire night of interrogation…

Pan Mingrui got the final result and his confession.

Upon learning the truth, Pan Mingrui was shocked to the core, and sweat kept trickling down his forehead.

As the head of a police station, he couldn’t believe it was true.

Those who were involved…

Almost all of them were today’s big names and major companies.

Pan Mingrui could scarcely believe it, but all the evidence was irrefutable!

However…

He was just the chief of a small police station in a village. How could he handle such a serious, major criminal case? Although he wanted to accomplish something big, he didn’t dare to deal with this case that involved so many people.

Almost all the Chinese Medicine companies had a part in it.

As the chief of a police station, he knew he couldn’t decide how deep he could probe into this matter and what to do next. After all, nowadays, when dealing with a case, they should consider it from the law and social influence!

Without any other choice…

Pan Mingrui could only call and report the issue to his supervisor and wait for orders from the higher-ranking officials. He would do whatever they requested him to.

In the capital…

The incident about the shoddy drugs has widely spread the society and set off a long and heated discussion online. By taking this opportunity, the major Huaxia Chinese Medicine companies began to promote drugs produced by their own companies.

Surprisingly…

Employees watched these companies prosper with each passing day. Meanwhile, bosses of these companies turned on their computers in their offices and entered a video conference room.

The video conference room was very well hidden.

A few minutes later…

Many people entered the video conference room.

They were the bosses of all the major Chinese Medicine companies in the market. They were all here for a meeting.

“The meeting begins.”

When everyone was present, one of them locked the meeting room. In this way, no outsiders could have access to enter the room, and no meeting participant could leave without permission before the meeting was over.

“According to the intelligence information, they have already tracked us down.”

The meeting host asked, “Everyone, how do you plan to deal with this matter?”

“Deal with it? Humph.”

One of them sneered disdainfully and said, “Why bother? I don’t believe they dare punish us!”

“I think that they will when they discover the truth. Although they won’t crack down on all of us, they will punish one as a warning to others. Of course, none of us would be willing to be the fall guy. Therefore, we should work together and pick a scapegoat. For example, we could set up a shell company and shift all the blame to it.”

A middle-aged man with a square face said.

“It’s not necessary!”

A man with gray hair shook his head coolly and said, “It’s not the time to find a scapegoat yet. Even if the clues have led to us, they’ll have to think twice before they take any action against us. Before they target us, there’s no need for us to look for a scapegoat in a hurry. We only need to wait and see. And I believe they won’t dare to turn the tables. Fang Qiu just has to swallow the anger and humiliation!”

As soon as he said that…

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This was what they had expected.

“Everyone, please.”

The middle-aged man with gray hair spoke again and said with a light smile, “Don’t forget: this is just a starter. We haven’t yet begun our following plans.”

All the others nodded and smiled when they heard that.

“Then that will do for the present.”

The meeting host said, “However, I want to remind everyone. For our ultimate goal, everyone must work together and should not give in.”

All the people nodded in unison.

On the other side…

Pan Mingrui’s report to the leadership quickly got the attention of the higher-ups.

The report was sent from the police station at the county level to the provincial one. Finally, it reached the Public Security Department.

After learning the truth about the whole thing…

This was a real headache, even for the Public Security Department’s leader, who was also at a loss about what to do.

Helplessly, the leader could only report to his supervisor!

However…

Even the higher-ups didn’t know how to deal with this matter properly. After all, it involved too many people.

In the end…

Fang Qiu received a call.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Sitting in the office, Fang Qiu got a call from the higher-ups.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Fang Qiu.”

A voice came from the other end of the phone, “I am from the Public Security Department. Some doctors from your Three Billion Foundation were found to have prescribed shoddy medicine. The truth has been uncovered and you must have known about it by now. This matter involves too many people, and you are the victim. So the higher-ups decided to ask for your opinion. How do you want to deal with this matter?”

“If you insist on dealing with it according to the law, we will listen to your opinion and let the law take its course!”

“However, the impact of this matter is too great. There are too many big things and important people involved in this. You have to think carefully before you make the decision.”

The voice stopped there.

Fang Qiu fell silent.
