Of course, the more vicious the scolding, the more envious people were of Taoxun's benefits.
It was precisely in the midst of this fervent discussion that Taoxun was propelled onto the trending search list. Now, Taoxun had become the most sought-after company by everyone, bar none.
At noon, Ye Zhi took out her phone, just about to call Qi Xuan, when her phone rang.
It was Qi Xuan calling. Ye Zhi smiled faintly and pressed the answer button.
"I was just thinking of calling you. I'm getting off work this afternoon. Shall we go buy fireworks this afternoon?"
"Let's not rush this matter," Qi Xuan said in a deep voice. "Azhi, come over first. I have something very important to discuss with you."
Surprised by his seriousness, Ye Zhi paused for a moment before quickly agreeing, "Okay."
Soon, Ye Zhi arrived at Qi Corporation.
Upon arriving at Qi Corporation, she proceeded smoothly to Qi Xuan's office.
This was her first time in Qi Xuan's office. She hadn't expected the style to be a simple black and white palette. While it looked minimalist, it was also somewhat monotonous.
However, Ye Zhi was not in the mood to pay attention to such details.
"You asked me to come over so urgently, is there something important?" Ye Zhi asked.
"Look at this," Qi Xuan handed Ye Zhi a document. "This person is most likely Wu Yongzhi."
Ye Zhi took the document and flipped through the pages. By the end, her hands trembled with anger as she held the document.
The matters detailed in the document could only be described as insane and outrageous!
Qi Xuan said in a deep voice, "Wu Yongzhi changed his name to Wu Feilong and established a company in S City. The company is filled with cameras. Under the guise of recruitment, he lures innocent women into his company, then beats, imprisons, and assaults them, taking photos as a form of blackmail. The company's security guards are all thugs he hired. He uses this method to force these women to use unscrupulous means to grease the wheels for him. I've only uncovered this much so far, but there are likely more victims."
Ye Zhi was furious, finding it unbelievable that this was happening in the prosperous S City, and so recently.
"Didn't they try to call the police?" Ye Zhi asked.
"Some did, but it was useless. Wu Yongzhi directly took her away, claiming it was a personal dispute," Qi Xuan sighed softly.
"Personal dispute, personal dispute!" Ye Zhi slammed the table in anger. "What kind of logic is that?! Why is it that as soon as a personal dispute is involved, women are no longer treated as people, but as objects, and anything the other party does is forgiven?!"
Qi Xuan gently held her hand, massaging it. Her slam had not been light.
"Some shifts in thinking also take time," Qi Xuan comforted her in a low voice. "Besides, it's also because he has connections behind him that he can so easily suppress things."
"Can they be rescued?" Ye Zhi looked at Qi Xuan expectantly.
"Of course, but don't be in a hurry," Qi Xuan said sternly. "My people need to investigate more thoroughly and find out who Wu Yongzhi's backers are. We need to catch these parasites in one fell swoop!"
Ye Zhi nodded slightly, finally feeling a bit relieved.
"However, while investigating Wu Yongzhi, I discovered something else," Qi Xuan frowned.
"What?" Ye Zhi asked.
Qi Xuan picked up another document and handed it to her. "Wu Yongzhi recently established a pharmaceutical laboratory. This laboratory was just set up not long ago, and it's under Cen Ya's name. Currently, this pharmaceutical laboratory has only purchased one type of item."
Ye Zhi opened the document, and her pupils suddenly contracted. "Pufferfish toxin?"
"Yes. The pharmaceutical laboratory established by Cen Ya, under the guise of developing new drugs, purchased highly toxic pufferfish toxin. The amount she purchased is enough to poison over a dozen adults," Qi Xuan said with a grave expression. "What is she buying this for?"
Ye Zhi's mind raced. This matter truly shocked her, yet it also felt very strange.
What Cen Ya wanted was for the entire world to revolve around her, for her love with Ou Minghan to last forever, to the end of time, making everyone envious. Her family members loved her, sacrificing everything for her without regret.
As for those she disliked, like Ye Zhi, she wanted them to kneel before her and beg for forgiveness, and then she would magnanimously forgive these people who had 'hurt' her. She might even bestow some money upon them when she was feeling generous, making them live at her whim.
However, to say that Cen Ya wanted to harm someone... even if she had the inclination, she completely lacked the capability.
As for buying potent poisons and poisoning people, Cen Ya would absolutely not do such a thing.
If not her, then it could only be...
"I suspect this pharmaceutical laboratory, opened under Cen Ya's name, is most likely Ou Minghan's doing," Ye Zhi analyzed calmly. "Cen Xiucheng wanting to take Cen Ya back to K country has probably made Ou Minghan completely desperate. As for these poisons, they are likely his backup plan. If Cen Xiucheng successfully investigates his background this time and returns safely, then Ou Minghan will probably resort to poison."
"I think the pufferfish toxin he prepared might not be for Cen Xiucheng. Perhaps it's for someone else," Qi Xuan mused.
Ye Zhi gasped, "Are you implying... Ni Na?"
"It's very possible," Qi Xuan's gaze deepened. "Recently, after Cen Xiucheng returned, Ni Na has gradually leaned towards Cen Xiucheng's side. This must have already caused Ou Minghan dissatisfaction."
"So..." Ye Zhi said in a deep voice, "Are you saying Ou Minghan has harbored resentment towards Ni Na for a long time, and if Ni Na continues to favor Cen Xiucheng, he will poison her?"
"As long as Cen Xiucheng has an accident and Ni Na dies from poisoning, then Cen Ya will be the only one left from the Cen family here," Qi Xuan stated calmly. "And since Cen Ya listens to Ou Minghan completely, wouldn't all of the Cen family's assets then belong to Ou Minghan?"
Ye Zhi exhaled slowly. In the original plot, when the Ye family fell into hardship, Cen Ya willingly handed over the Ye family's assets.
Now, if the Cen family met the same fate, Cen Ya would likely make the same choice.
As for whether there were any tricks behind the deaths of Ni Na and Cen Xiucheng, that was not something Cen Ya would bother to consider.
"This is really something they would do..." Ye Zhi said slowly.
"But some things are hard to say. Ou Minghan has pufferfish toxin in his possession, and it's unclear who he will target," Qi Xuan cautioned with concern. "Azhi, you must also be careful with your food and drinks. You are on Ou Minghan's list of enemies."
"I know that," Ye Zhi said with a wry smile. "But I've already developed a habit of never eating or drinking anything that leaves my sight."
"Oh?" Qi Xuan sounded surprised. "Why do you have such a habit?"
"Don't you?" Ye Zhi started to speak, then stopped. "But Cai Fu its..."
