Chapter 530 You're On Your Own
"They stole other people's research achievements. We think they are more insidious. If we don't teach them a lesson, we'd be letting others down," Chen Xuan said indifferently.
So many pharmaceutical research workers had their two years of efforts and achievements stolen by others. The Gu family was truly heartless.
Moreover, Chen Xuan was also worried that Elder Huang would leak this matter.
After finishing with this matter, Su Yunxi still didn't rest and picked up her phone to make another call.
"Yunxi, stop working and rest for a while," Chen Xuan said, his heart aching.
"I wish I could."
Su Yunxi sighed helplessly, "But I don't know how the investigation into the fake medicine case is going. I need to hurry and urge them. I also need to use my connections to make this an ironclad case. Otherwise, with the Gu family's connections, they might be able to help Third Master Gu get acquitted."
Chen Xuan placed the freshly brewed hot tea in front of Yunxi, "Yunxi, don't worry. Third Master Gu definitely won't get away with it. You should get some proper rest."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan gently pushed Su Yunxi, guiding her to sit down.
"Hmm?"
Su Yunxi frowned.
"That fake medicine almost killed the president of the Industry and Commerce Association. Do you think the Industry and Commerce Association will let this go?" Chen Xuan smiled.
Su Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but pat her smooth forehead. "How could I forget this? Producing fake medicine is the Industry and Commerce Association's business. The Gu family almost killed the president of the Industry and Commerce Association, which is tantamount to seeking their own destruction."
"Then I can finally get some proper rest."
With this thought, Su Yunxi also sat down at the leather swivel chair with peace of mind, picking up the refreshing hot tea.
Chen Xuan, fearing that things might not be foolproof, sent another text message to Elder Fu and quickly received a reply.
"Ironclad case!"
...
At this moment, Elder Huang and his entourage had already walked out of the Su Corporation's pharmaceutical building. Elder Huang, who had been so arrogant moments ago, was now dejected, like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Having been thwarted by Chen Xuan three times in a row, Elder Huang felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Elder Huang, is that imperial medicine formula really that amazing? Could they be bluffing?" one of his companions couldn't help but whisper.
Elder Huang was stunned by this remark. After a moment of thought, as if recalling something, he roared furiously, "This makes me so angry, we've probably been tricked!"
"Ah? Elder Huang, what's wrong?"
Elder Huang's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth, "That guy only showed us the ingredients of the medicine formula, and we thought he could restore the imperial medicine formula. But many imperial medicine formulas have been studied by numerous renowned physicians without success. How would he know?"
"What Elder Huang said makes sense! He must be bluffing."
Elder Huang was furious, "Good, you brat, you dare to deceive me."
"Elder Huang, we'll expose him right away," his companions said busily.
However, Elder Huang shook his head, "No need. I'm no longer interested in the Su family."
Before he finished speaking, Elder Huang's phone rang.
He took out his phone, and the screen displayed a few characters: Gu Er Ye of the Gu family.
Seeing this name, Elder Huang's eyes lit up, and he immediately answered the call.
A warm voice came from the phone: "Elder Huang, have you considered the position of Chief Pharmacist of our Gu family? Elder Huang, please rest assured, we will agree to all your conditions, and we will build the most advanced pharmaceutical research laboratory for you according to your requirements."
"Gu Er Ye, I, Huang, have decided to become the Chief Pharmacist of the Gu family!"
Elder Huang nodded immediately.
The Su family was very strong in the past, but in Elder Huang's eyes now, the Su family was no match for the Gu family, which had a great backer and was like a rising star.
"That's great! Welcome to our family!"
Hearing Elder Huang's decision, an excited voice came from the phone.
...
In the Gu family's living room, a square-faced middle-aged man in a well-fitting suit sat on the sofa, with his legs crossed, hanging up the phone with a smile.
"Dad, why are you so happy? Is there something good?"
Seeing the smile on the square-faced middle-aged man's face, Gu Junjie chuckled.
"Good news, and great news!"
Gu Er Ye glanced at the phone in his hand and couldn't help but laugh, "With the medicine formula in hand and the King of Medicine in Jiangnan assisting us, defeating the Su family and restoring the Gu family's glory is just around the corner!"
"Elder Huang agreed to join our Gu family? Wasn't it said that Elder Huang was more inclined towards the Su family?" Gu Junjie asked with some confusion.
Gu Er Ye smiled, "That's naturally because our Gu family offers better treatment. After all, no fool would settle for less and choose a family with worse conditions."
"Dad, you are so wise. With Elder Huang joining us, our Gu family's strength has increased by another level, not to mention that the Su family's greatest trump card is already in our hands," Gu Junjie said with a sinister smile.
Gu Er Ye nodded slightly, and he looked at Gu Junjie, "Jun Jie, how are things developing between you and Miss Wei?"
Gu Junjie's expression dimmed, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
"You need to be patient with women. You need to learn to yield and also learn to use tactics. Remember, as long as you win over Miss Wei, we can establish a relationship with the Wei family," Gu Er Ye said with the air of an experienced person.
"Dad, it's not that I'm unwilling to lower myself, it's just that someone has interfered." Gu Junjie looked aggrieved.
Gu Junjie was confident in winning over Wei Linlin, but Chen Xuan's appearance had disrupted his plans.
Moreover, he really couldn't understand what Wei Linlin was thinking, how could she fall for a poor scrub who was older than her.
The thought of this made him furious.
Gu Er Ye's expression turned cold, "That's simple. Use some special methods if you need to."
Gu Junjie nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Alright, you brat. Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Just then, a wail was heard!
"Second Uncle, you have to save my dad!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed in, and with a plop, knelt before Gu Er Ye.
"Chunyu?"
Seeing the young man in front of him, Gu Junjie frowned slightly.
By seniority, he should call Wang Chunyu "brother," but he didn't acknowledge such an elder cousin as he was an illegitimate child.
"Chunyu, what happened? What happened to your dad?"
Gu Er Ye frowned.
Wang Chunyu said, "The matter of manufacturing fake medicine has been exposed, and my dad has been arrested..."
"What!"
Gu Er Ye sprang up from the sofa.
Manufacturing fake medicine and damaging the Su family's reputation was an important step for the Gu family, and it absolutely could not go wrong.
"Second Uncle, it's absolutely true. Today, my dad and I went to the Su Corporation to see the Su Corporation become a laughingstock, but unexpectedly, the police and the Industry and Commerce Association arrived and arrested my dad."
"Don't worry, I'll use my connections now to see if I can get your dad out."
Gu Er Ye didn't think much of Third Master Gu's abilities, but if Third Master Gu were to say something he shouldn't, it might implicate him. Third Master Gu had to be saved.
"Thank you, Second Uncle," Wang Chunyu said, thanking him repeatedly, and slowly stood up.
Gu Er Ye believed that with his abilities, it would be easy to get Third Master Gu out, but after making several calls, they were all useless.
The police spoke in a more tactful tone, telling him to negotiate with the Industry and Commerce Association. They were only cooperating with the arrest, and all other powers lay with the Industry and Commerce Association. Gu Er Ye thought he had been betrayed, and became extremely excited.
Gu Er Ye had been in the business world for over twenty years, accumulating many connections, especially a good relationship with a vice president, to whom he paid seven figures annually.
However, this time, the vice president's attitude was unprecedentedly strong and indifferent, stating that the case would be thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, out of consideration for their relationship, the vice president told Gu Er Ye to be on his own.
Bang!
Gu Er Ye slammed his palm on the table and cursed, "When you were taking my money, why didn't you say 'you're on your own'?"
