Chapter 526 It's You
Looking at the arrest warrant before him, Gu Sanye's face turned ashen.
Wang Chunyu, standing beside him, was also stunned. He had finally returned to the Gu family and was on the verge of rising, only for his own father to be arrested. This was like a bolt from the blue for him!
"Are you mistaken?" Gu Sanye exclaimed, his eyes filled with panic.
The two middle-aged men completely ignored Gu Sanye and walked over, immediately cuffing him.
"I am from the Gu family, I am Gu Sanye! You can't arrest me!" Gu Sanye shouted desperately.
"Save your words for when you're in jail!"
The young man in the lead waved his hand, and the other two grabbed Gu Sanye and turned to leave.
Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi were not surprised by this scene.
It wasn't that easy to arrest Gu Sanye. It required sufficient evidence and the push from powerful forces. Su Yunxi had used her connections to push this matter forward, and Chen Xuan had also called the president of the Industrial and Commercial Association, Elder Fu.
This led to today's events!
This was undoubtedly good news for Su's Pharmaceuticals. With Gu Sanye arrested, there would be no more fake medicine circulating, and Su's Pharmaceuticals' products would gradually regain market recognition.
"You dare to frame my father!"
Wang Chunyu's eyes were filled with venom.
"Haven't you been beaten enough?" Chen Xuan spat out the words without mercy.
"Fine, you just wait..."
Wang Chunyu was clearly somewhat afraid of Chen Xuan. After being intimidated by Chen Xuan, he shamefully took his people and left!
However, he wouldn't give up. Gu Sanye was finished, but the Gu family was not.
Seeing Wang Chunyu, who looked like a stray dog, people couldn't help but chuckle.
"Everyone, back to work!" Su Yunxi clapped her hands.
Everyone dispersed.
The conference room quieted down. Su Yunxi looked out at the towering buildings, overpasses, and speeding cars outside, her pretty face gradually turning solemn.
"Yunxi, with Gu Sanye arrested, there will be no more fake medicine entering the market, and the new medicine can still be produced. What else is there to worry about?" Chen Xuan asked, frowning.
"It's not that simple," Su Yunxi shook her head.
"Could it be because of the price?" Chen Xuan recalled Gu Sanye's words.
Su Yunxi was startled, looked at Chen Xuan, and her lips curved into a bitter smile. "If my guess is correct, then all the information for the new medicine has fallen into the hands of the Gu family. If it falls into their hands, it poses the greatest threat to the Su family..."
Gu Sanye was arrested, and the new medicine could still be produced.
However, a dark cloud still hung over Su's Pharmaceuticals.
It was now certain that the information for Su's Pharmaceuticals' new medicine had fallen into the Gu family's hands. With this information, the Gu family would be able to release the new medicine within three months, possibly even before the Su family.
The key issue was that the Gu family's new medicine would be identical to the Su family's. However, because they had no research costs, the Gu family's medicine would be priced much lower than the Su family's. For the same medicine with the same efficacy, the Gu family's medicine would naturally have greater market competitiveness.
The medicine genuinely researched and developed by the Su family would then have no market. Even if it were released, it would gradually decline.
"So, the key is how to reduce the cost of the new medicine and gain a price advantage?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Su Yunxi nodded, pleasantly surprised that Chen Xuan had immediately grasped the crux of the matter.
In business matters, Chen Xuan was becoming increasingly astute.
"Then that's easy to handle."
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up. He believed he had some expertise in medical pharmacology and might have a chance.
At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered a prescription...
Su Yunxi knew what Chen Xuan was thinking but shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's not as easy as you think. Even setting aside research costs, the production cost is already at its minimum."
Chen Xuan opened his mouth to say something.
Just then!
Suddenly, a staff member wearing a white coat and glasses walked over. "Ms. Su, the person has arrived, and we've found a way to reduce costs!"
This white-coated, bespectacled person was a woman in her thirties, with a numb expression, dark circles under her eyes, rough skin, and messy, unkempt hair.
She was the main person in charge of the new medicine research, Bai Linglong.
The loss of research data was a major blow to her.
After all, in her eyes, the new medicine was like her own child, facing a premature end before it had even been born.
Su Yunxi's eyes brightened. "That's great, let's go see!"
This was another piece of good news for Su Yunxi.
After taking two steps, Su Yunxi remembered Chen Xuan was still there. She turned and said to Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, wait here for a moment. I'll be right back after I've handled this."
"I'll tag along and take a look..."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
"Then let's go together."
Su Yunxi frowned but immediately nodded.
She knew Chen Xuan was a doctor and might have some research in medicine, and it would be a learning experience for him.
Chen Xuan quietly followed behind Su Yunxi and Bai Linglong towards a research laboratory.
Along the way, Chen Xuan listened to their conversation and understood that after the incident, Su Yunxi had acutely sensed the crisis and had already sent for a renowned physician to try and find cheaper medicinal herbs that wouldn't compromise efficacy, thereby reducing costs.
Chen Xuan listened intently, blinking occasionally.
From their tone of respect, this renowned physician seemed to be very formidable and well-known.
Chen Xuan was somewhat curious, wondering who it could be.
Upon arriving at the research laboratory, there were already many pharmaceutical researchers wearing white coats and glasses, with serious expressions.
A group of people were all gathered around a white-haired, rosy-cheeked old man wearing a Tang suit. Their gazes were fixed on him, filled with reverence, like believers towards God!
Facing these pharmaceutical researchers, the old man was arrogant, his nostrils almost pointed to the sky, as if everyone's adoration was naturally deserved.
Seeing the white-haired, rosy-cheeked old man, Chen Xuan was stunned.
He hadn't expected that the person Su Yunxi had invited was none other than Elder Huang, who held the title of the "Medical King of Jiangnan"!
Chen Xuan frowned and reminded her in a low voice, "Yunxi, that fellow's temper is even bigger than his ability. It's best not to place too much hope on him..."
Chen Xuan didn't have a very good impression of Elder Huang, hence his reminder to Su Yunxi.
Before Su Yunxi could speak, Bai Linglong, standing beside her, couldn't help but retort. She glared coldly at Chen Xuan. "Don't have too much hope for Elder Huang? Who gave you the nerve to slander Elder Huang?"
Elder Huang was not only the Medical King of Jiangnan but also a professor in the medical department of a renowned university. More than half of the pharmaceutical researchers present were Elder Huang's disciples.
Although Bai Linglong was not Elder Huang's student, she had fortunately attended one of his lectures and was deeply impressed, often referring to herself as a worshiper of Elder Huang.
Slandering Elder Huang?
The voice was not loud but instantly attracted a host of unfriendly gazes. Almost everyone looked over.
"Who dares to slander Elder Huang?" a young researcher stepped forward, his face full of frost, his gaze firmly fixed on Chen Xuan.
Facing the numerous gazes, Chen Xuan calmly replied, "I am not slandering. I am merely speaking the truth!"
"Well said, speaking the truth! I wonder who is spouting nonsense here!"
Elder Huang, hearing the commotion, walked over with a dark expression. The people around him made way for him.
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, Elder Huang's pupils contracted.
"Well, it's you!" A glint of coldness and excitement flashed across Elder Huang's eyes.
He never expected to encounter Chen Xuan here. It was truly a case of finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it appear effortlessly!
