Chapter 1146
When the two of them heard this, they instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, sir. Thank you.”
Mr. Li even took out a card and wanted to show filial piety to Aaron Berg, but Aaron Berg rejected him directly.
“I won’t take it, but it’s best not to let anyone else know about what happened today.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Don’t worry, we promise not to tell anyone.”
“We’ll pretend we don’t know anything!”
Aaron Berg nodded in satisfaction.
“Alright, you can leave. As for the two of them… Whether they can come back or not depends on their own attitude.” Chen Pan’s second uncle said directly, “You can deal with such a jinx however you want. I’ll make arrangements for her family.”
Mr. Li couldn’t say such a thing, but he didn’t refute it.
“Very good. The two of you… please put on your blindfolds. I’ll send someone to send the two of you back to the cocktail party. If we rush back now, we should be in time to participate in the final charity event.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
The two of them put on their eye masks and were brought out by Aaron Berg’s subordinates.
Chen Pan was crying and cursing at the same time. He was on the verge of breaking down.
Li Lingli, who had been very calm just now, broke down.
Her tears kept falling, and her body was obviously trembling.
Fear and despair engulfed her like a tidal wave.
“How could this be… Dad, how could you leave me behind…
No, it’s an illusion. It must have been an illusion!”
Death Warrior clicked their tongues.
“If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! Brothers, let them suffer a little. Let them know that Young Madam is not someone who can be trifled with!”
Not long after, screams almost pierced through the clouds.
Li Lingli finally realized that she and Melody Fox were throwing an egg at a rock.
Melody Fox was someone she absolutely could not afford
to offend and could not afford to offend.
However, it was too late to realize this now.
At the cocktail party venue.
After Melody Fox and Ken Swanson returned to the pool, everything continued to blend into the party as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere of the party became more and more lively.
Many young men and women had changed into swimsuits and were happily playing in the pool.
After Yu Leyou left the washroom, he trembled in fear for a long time.
He was afraid that Ken Swanson’s people would just give him a sack and take him away.
However, after waiting for more than half a year, nothing happened.
Yu Leyou’s anxious heart calmed down a little.
Even Ken Swanson couldn’t do anything to him, right?
After all, he had not done anything. He had only misunderstood that Melody Fox was single. Ken Swanson’s words should be a warning to him. He would not really do anything.
With that thought in mind, Yu Leyou completely relaxed.
However, the collaboration with Ximber Tech would probably not go smoothly.
“Brother Xiao You? Brother Xiao You!”
Yu Leyou suddenly came back to his senses and remembered that he was talking to Cai Lele.
“Tell me.”
Cai Lele asked worriedly, “Brother Xiao You, what’s wrong? I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond. Is it Hou Fox, who I wasn’t around just now? Did something happen?”
“No, nothing happened. I’m just a little worried about working together.”
Naturally, he would not tell Cai Lele that he had been ruthlessly slapped in the face by Melody Fox and Ken Swanson.
Cai Lele heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. I see that you’re feeling uneasy, so I’m a little worried about you. However, you don’t have to worry too much about the collaboration. Even without this collaboration, my father still has other projects that Uncle can invest in.”
Yu Leyou’s heart skipped a beat and he asked, “Did your father agree for us to be together?”
“Yes!” Cai Lele said happily and shyly. “Besides, Dad and I have already discussed it. When the two of us get married, the Cai family’s company will be managed by the two of us.” “Married?”
“Yes!” Cai Lele nodded vigorously. Then, she asked uncertainly, “Brother Xiao You, you’re with me on the premise of marriage, right?”
Yu Leyou’s heart was filled with complex emotions.
However, without Project Ximber Tech, the Yu family could only rely on the Cai family.
Moreover, people of their status had no choice in their marriage.
With that thought in mind, Yu Leyou compromised in his heart.
In any case, he would marry anyone. He might as well marry someone as obedient and sincere as Cai Lele.
Hence, Yu Leyou nodded and said, “Yes, I’m with you on the premise of marriage.”
When Cai Lele heard this, her heart was filled with joy.
“So, Brother Xiaoyou, you really don’t have to worry too much about this project. With our Cai family, the Yu family definitely won’t go bankrupt.”
“Hmm…” Yu Leyou felt even more complicated.
Cai Lele spoke as if he was a freeloader.
He said, “You don’t have to worry too much about me. I’ll be fine. Besides, even if the Yu Family goes bankrupt, I’m still the director of First Hospital. The Yu Family won’t go down the road.”
“I know. You’re a very good doctor. Your future will definitely be bright.” Cai Lele was worried about Yu Leyou’s reputation, so she quickly praised him.
This made Yu Leyou feel much better.
However, at Fox, Yu Leyou received a call from his family.
Before he could speak, Father Yu said, “Leyou, come home immediately.”
Yu Leyou was stunned and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong? I’m still at the banquet, and the banquet won’t end until the two little Fox kids.”
“I know. Don’t worry about the reception for now. Just find an excuse to come home.”
Yu Leyou felt uneasy and replied, “Alright, I’ll come back immediately.”
After the call ended, Yu Leyou said to Cai Lele, “Lele, help me tell your father that I have something to do at home and have to go back first. I’ve let him down today. I’ll try my best to make it up to him.”
Cai Lele asked worriedly, “What happened at home? Do you need me to go back with you?”
“No need. It shouldn’t be a big deal.”
“Alright, then let me know when you’re done. I can rest assured.”
“Got it. I’m leaving.”
“Yes, yes. Be careful on the road.”
Yu Leyou nodded and quickly left the party.
When he walked out of the resort, two middle-aged men alighted from a commercial car.
Yu Leyou recognized that these two men were the parents of Cai Lele’s two best friends.
He was about to greet them and ask about Chen Pan and Li Lingli, but the two of them had already rushed in.
For some reason, when Yu Leyou saw their backs, he had a feeling that they were afraid of something. It was as if a tiger was chasing after them.
He wondered what was going on with Chen Pan and Li Lingli.
However, since their parents could still return to the party and continue attending the cocktail party, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Sure enough, Ken Swanson was not as scary as he looked.
Since Li Lingli and Chen Pan were fine, he would definitely be fine.
Yu Leyou heaved a sigh of relief and got into the car to go home.
Chapter 1147
After a few hours, Yu Leyou arrived at the residential area where his parents lived.
This neighborhood was already very old. The security guard at the door was about 70 years old. The standards of the neighborhood were completely different from the high-end neighborhood their family used to live in.
However, Yu Le Youping, Fox, lived in the apartment assigned to him by the hospital. To him alone, the changes in the Yu Family did not affect him much.
There wasn’t enough parking space in the old residential area. Yu Leyou parked the car outside the residential area and walked into the residential area.
Fox passed by the security booth. The old security guard was staggering towards a place with a dim yellow flashlight.
Yu Leyou saw that the other party was walking anxiously and could not help but ask, “Did something happen?”
As the old man walked, he answered, “A resident called and said that a group of people came to collect debts and smashed their house. I’ll go over and take a look now.”
Yu Leyou said in amusement, “Grandpa, with your physique, don’t get involved in this kind of thing. If you really want to cause trouble, it’s better to just call the police.”
“Thank you, young man, but my young Fox is a soldier. Don’t look at me like this. I’m very strong.”
Yu Leyou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He stopped bickering with the old man and quickened his pace towards home.
His speed was much faster than Sir System’s, and it did not take long for him to leave Sir System behind.
When Yu Leyou came out of the elevator, he saw a group of fierce-looking people blocking the entrance of his house. Two of them were even holding paint and sticks in their hands. They threatened to splash paint on their door and smash it if they didn’t return the money.
Could it be that the security guard was referring to these people?
Yu Leyou’s brows were tightly knitted together. He walked forward and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you people? What do you want?!”
Their attention immediately fell on Yu Leyou.
“Who are you? Mind your own business!”
Yu Leyou raised his chest. “I’m the owner of this house. You’ve come to the wrong place. This is my house.”
The few of them fell silent and immediately surrounded him.
“You’re the son of this family, right?”
“As it happens, your parents are hiding inside and refusing to come out and talk to us. Now that you’re here, let’s make things clear.”
“Your parents owe us 6 million dollars yuan. You have three days to pay it back. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
Yu Leyou’s frown deepened.
“You’re mistaken. My parents didn’t borrow money from anyone. We’re renting this place. If you’re the creditor of the original owner, please look for the original owner.”
The scar-faced man in the lead sneered and said, “What original owner? We’re looking for your family! Your father’s name is Yu Yehua, and your name is Yu Leyou, right?”
Yu Leyou’s expression instantly froze on his face.
He was actually… really looking for their family.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the security guard arrived.
The security guard was surprised to see Yu Leyou.
“How come it’s you, young man?”
Yu Leyou felt awkward.
He smirked and said to the debt collectors, “There must be a misunderstanding. Wait a moment, I’ll go ask.”
As Yu Leyou spoke, he reached out and pressed the doorbell.
“Dad, Mom, it’s me, Xiaoyou.”
The door finally opened.
Father Yu poked his head out. Seeing that the debt
collector was still there, he quickly persuaded Yu Le, “Come in quickly!”
“Stop right there!”
Those people grabbed Yu Leyou’s arm and said to Yu Yehua, “Come out and explain yourself. Otherwise, I’ll break your son’s arm! He’s a doctor, right? If one of his hands is crippled, let’s see how he can continue to be his doctor!”
Yu Yehua’s expression changed drastically.
Mrs. Yu’s cries could also be heard from inside.
“Son… Don’t let them hurt our son!”
Yu Yehua had no choice but to open the door.
Yu Leyou finally realized that his parents really owed money to others, and it seemed like they were loan sharks.
“Dad, what Fox yuan did you borrow from them? What’s going on?”
“I’ll tell you later,” Yu Yehua said perfunctorily. Then, he said to the debt collectors, “Didn’t we agree to return the money next month? Why did you come here in advance? This is unfair to us!”
The scar-faced man said bluntly, “You want to be fair by borrowing from usury? If you want to be fair, why don’t you borrow from the bank? In short, you have to pay back the money within three days. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude to you! We have our eyes on your precious son’s hand.”
“How dare you?!”
“Then just wait and see. Let’s see if we dare to do it until Fox.”
“Aren’t you
afraid I’ll call the police?”
“Hehe. In our line of work, the police station is our home.
Going in is like going home. Moreover, the people inside are all talented. They speak nicely, so what are we afraid of? On the other hand, if you call the police, you have to go in too. It’s not legal to borrow money from loan sharks. Seeing that you’re decent people, you don’t want to send yourself in, right?”
“You…”
“Stop talking about me. I’ll give you Fox rooms in three days! Brothers, let’s go!”
The group of people left in a grandiose manner, leaving the three people at the door staring at each other.
Yu Yehua was the first to break the silence. She said to the security guard, “It’s fine. You can leave.”
The security guard wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn’t say anything and quickly left.
Yu Leyou was embarrassed and frustrated. He frowned.
“Dad, what the hell is going on?”
“Come in and talk!”
After the two of them entered, Mother Yu immediately pounced on them.
“Son, are you okay?”
Yu Leyou shook his head. “It’s fine. They didn’t do anything to me.”
Mrs. Yu cried even harder.
“It’s Dad and Mom’s fault. It’s all our fault…”
Yu Leyou supported Mother Yu, who was on the verge of collapse and was about to ask another question when Father Yu spoke first.
“Actually, the difference of 6 million dollars yuan I told you about wasn’t that Ximber Tech’s project was still short of 6 million dollars yuan, but that the company still owed them 6 million dollars yuan. When Fox company had a project and urgently needed funds, I wanted to take a gamble, so I went to look for these people. I didn’t expect them to go back on their word and force a debt in advance…”
“How can a loan shark be honest? Dad, you’re too muddle-headed! No wonder you personally went to the Cai family to borrow 6 million dollars. It turns out that you didn’t borrow the project money at all!”
Yu Yehua said with an ugly expression, “I’m confused? What do you know? Have you ever interfered in the company’s affairs? If it weren’t for the fact that the 6 million dollars was converted into Fox, the company wouldn’t have needed to wait until today. The company would have gone bankrupt a few months ago!”
“But you can’t borrow money from loan sharks…”
“If I don’t borrow this, where do you want me to borrow money from? In short, it has already happened. You don’t have to say any more of this nonsense.”
Yu Leyou gnashed his teeth and asked, “Then what should we do next? These people are capable of anything. We have to change to this 6 million dollars first. How much money do you have left?”
“No. As for bank loans, I’ve asked a few banks that I can. The money I borrowed needs to be used on the project with Ximber Tech.”
Chapter 1148
Yu Leyou’s expression changed when he heard Yu Yehua mention the collaboration with Ximber Tech.
He said tactfully, “Dad, we’ll talk about the collaboration later. The most important thing now is to pay off the debt of those people just now. They’re really capable of anything in this industry.”
Yu Yehua said coldly, “We can’t delay the collaboration. I’ll talk to their boss about the debt! At most, the interest will increase a little. Aren’t they doing this to increase the interest?”
“No… Dad…”
“Don’t say anymore. I called you back not only to deal with those people just now but also to discuss other ways to earn money with you. If their boss’ interest increases too much, we can return some of the principal first and use this to delay Fox rooms.”
Yu Leyou wanted to talk about what happened at the cocktail party, but he didn’t have the chance to.
Yu Yehua continued, “Also, take another day off at the hospital tomorrow to get back the 6 million dollars yuan that you lent to the patient. In this way, you can make up for this hole. Oh, no, I can’t wait until tomorrow. Go tonight and collect the debts of the nearest people.”
Yu Leyou’s expression was unsightly as he said, “They don’t even have money to see a doctor, so where would they get the money to pay me back?”
“Then go and collect the debt from a few years ago. After so many years, it’s time for them to repay the money. We don’t ask them to return the money with interest, but only to repay the loan. This is already very good for them!”
Yu Leyou lowered his eyes. “Then I’ll go and contact them. However, it’s hard to say if they’ll be able to get all the money back, but there’s a high chance that they won’t be able to get it all back.”
“I’ll take as much as I can. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll sue them for not paying the money they owe. You helped them at their most difficult time, Fox. Now they should be grateful to pay you back.”
“I know. I’ll try.”
“By the way, how did your Uncle Cai talk to the person-in- charge of Ximber Tech today?”
Yu Leyou finally had a chance to talk about this matter. “Um… Dad, you’d better be mentally prepared.”
“What? The other party doesn’t even give me a chance to bargain?”
“It’s not that. It’s… it’s…”
“What is it? Tell me clearly. Don’t stutter.”
Yu Leyou’s eyes flickered with a guilty light, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“Say something.”
Under Yu Yehua’s questioning, Yu Leyou said with difficulty,” I’m afraid we won’t be able to work with Ximber Tech anymore.”
“What do you mean?” Even if he was still short of 6 million dollars yuan to invest, it was not time to invest yet. Why couldn’t they cooperate?
Yu Leyou didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “Do you still remember that Melody Fox we met in Uncle Cai’s neighborhood yesterday?”
“I remember.”
Mother Yu frowned and asked, “She went to the cocktail party too?”
Yu Yehua shot a displeased look at Mother Yu, signaling her not to interrupt.
Then, he said, “You’re fine. Why are you mentioning an unrelated person? Don’t tell me you still have delusions about this married woman.”
“I didn’t.” Yu Leyou felt frustrated. He took a deep breath and suppressed the unpleasant feeling of being completely outclassed by Ken Swanson.
“Then why are you mentioning her? I’m asking about the cooperation.”
“I mentioned her because she’s a high-ranking member of Ximber Tech.”
“What?!”
“What?!”
The couple spoke in unison, their eyes filled with surprise. They thought that Melody Fox might be the daughter of a nouveau riche, but they did not expect her to be Ximber Tech’s daughter.
Yu Yehua immediately felt that something was wrong. He quickly asked, “Isn’t she your colleague? How did she become a higher-up of Ximber Tech?”
“I don’t know either, but that’s the truth.”
“So… the collaboration was ruined by her?”
“Yes, she said that Ximber Tech won’t work with us. She also ordered the person in charge of the contact with Uncle Cai not to work with him and us anymore.”
Yu Yehua’s expression changed drastically when he heard this.
It was no longer a matter of price, but that the other party did not want to cooperate with them at all.
In this way, their only hope was lost, and Cai Qishui’s side was implicated.
Mother Yu gritted her teeth and scolded, “This b*tch! What does she want? Why did she treat you like this?”
Yu Yehua sobered up a little and said with a dark expression, “Don’t just insist that it’s someone else’s fault. Your son offended someone yesterday. It’s not an accident that they took revenge. The most important thing now is to calm her down and think of a way to make her take back what she said at the cocktail party.”
Mother Yu said in exasperation, “That’s easier said than done! That woman is so petty. How can she forgive us so easily?”
Yu Yehua ignored Mother Yu and asked Yu Leyou, “Leyou, do you have any ideas? Is there anyone in the hospital who has a good relationship with her and can speak up for you? If you go directly, I’m afraid you’ll add fuel to the fire. You have to pass the message through a third person.”
Yu Leyou thought for a moment and said, “There is one person.”
“Who?”
“I have a teacher whose surname is Ke. He’s a doctor from Silverlake. He seems to be very close to Melody Fox.”
“Then look for him immediately… Forget it, it’s already too late for room Fox now. We can only talk about it tomorrow.” Yu Yehua massaged his temples with a headache and said, “Get your bad debt back first! If you want money, you don’t have to split it. The later they’ll pay, the more anxious you are. Perhaps they are more willing to return the money.”
“I’ll give it a try…”
On the other side.
The manor was still brightly lit, and the atmosphere of the party was even livelier than before.
After greeting the important guests, Old Master Ge went upstairs to rest.
However, two minutes before the charity event began, Old Master Ge appeared in front of everyone again.
He took the microphone and announced that the charity segment had officially begun. He asked everyone to move to the hall.
Ge Pingchuan’s subordinates had already tidied up the hall and placed chairs one by one.
Everyone’s name was pasted on the back of the chair.
Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were arranged to sit in the first row, but Ge Pingchuan was separated by two senior executives of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.
It could be seen that Ge Pingchuan really wanted to distance himself from Ken Swanson.
However, Ken Swanson and Melody Fox were not in a hurry. They lowered their heads and flipped through the auction booklet in their hands.
Just like in previous years, the items on the auction booklet were all from several antique shops under the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. The prices ranged from hundreds of thousands to a few 200 thousand dollars yuan.
The most valuable item was a Han dynasty artifact dated Fox. The starting price was 2 million dollars.
Overall, the price was not particularly high.
However, this arrangement was not because the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce did not have any good items. Instead, they organized this charity event with the goal of using the items that could not be sold to legally offset the tax in the name of charity.
If he took out something too valuable, it would not be worth it.
“Do you like anything?” Ken Swanson asked Melody Fox gently.
This scene envied countless socialites present.
Chapter 1149
They could not understand why Ken Swanson’s taste was so bad.
Any of the socialites present were dozens or hundreds of times better-looking than Melody Fox.
However, Ken Swanson chose such an ugly woman to be his wife.
However, no matter how envious and jealous everyone was, they did not dare to really do anything to Melody Fox.
Not everyone was as brainless and fearless as Chen Pan and Li Lingli.
Melody Fox had no interest in these antiques.
However, since they were here, they had to support Ge Pingchuan. No matter what, they had to bid for one or two things.
“Let me see…”
However, just as Melody Fox was flipping through the booklet, a muffled sound suddenly came from the stage. She looked up and saw Ge Pingchuan clutching his chest and falling to the ground in pain. His entire body was twitching and white foam was coming out of his mouth. Finally… it was time.
She was worried that the dosage was too little and that she would not be able to draw out the poison in Ge Pingchuan’s body before the cocktail party ended.
Stage Fox was in a mess. A group of bodyguards rushed towards Ge Pingchuan.
“Elder Ge! How are you?”
“Doctor, where’s the family doctor? Hurry up and call him over!”
“Doctor Qin!”
“Qin Yue!”
A man dressed in ordinary clothes quickly ran from the audience to the stage. He squatted down and pulled Ge Pingchuan’s hand to take his pulse.
This person was Qin Yue, Ge Pingchuan’s family doctor. He was also the man that Melody Fox met in Insterimond’s Dr. Baxter7585 shop.
Not long after he checked Ge Pingchuan’s pulse, Qin Yue widened his eyes in surprise.
He subconsciously looked at Melody Fox.
Melody Fox was also staring at Qin Yue.
The moment their gazes met, Melody Fox accurately caught the flash of killing intent in Qin Yue’s eyes.
Obviously, Jennie Taylor had already introduced her to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue did not recognize her at the clinic that day. Perhaps there were too many people looking for medicine, so he did not notice her.
The corners of Melody Fox’s lips curled into a subtle arc, and then he revealed a surprised expression.
“What’s wrong with Old Master Ge?”
Her expression revealed nothing. Just like the other guests, she looked surprised and flustered.
Qin Yue looked away suspiciously, feeling puzzled.
He had already taken the antidote. Why was his illness acting up again?
Logically speaking, this antidote should be able to suppress their malicious doctor’s poison in at least a year.
However, it did not seem like it was done by Melody Fox.
Moreover, he did not think that such a young girl could have any ability.
Jennie Taylor was exaggerating. He was probably overestimating her.
But what was going on with Elder Ge? Why did his pulse change back to Fox PM, and the poison was even stronger? Sweat broke out on Qin Yue’s forehead.
Only Jennie Taylor had the antidote. He did not have it at all and could not develop it.
However, Jennie Taylor was not here. If he did not think of a way, Ge Pingchuan might die just like that.
On the stage, Qin Yue was taking his pulse. The guests below the stage were also in a mess.
“What’s wrong with Old Master Ge? Didn’t you say that he has recovered?”
“It looks like the situation is very serious. Do you want me to call an ambulance?”
“The doctor is already here. It doesn’t matter if we call an ambulance or not. Let’s not cause trouble.”
“That’s true…”
On the stage, Ge Pingchuan’s men saw that Qin Yue was squatting on the ground and taking his pulse for a long time without doing anything else. They could not help but urge him, “Doctor Qin, hurry up. Hurry up and think of a way to see what’s going on with Master.”
The beads of sweat on Qin Yue’s forehead became denser. Under the urging, he forced himself to stand up calmly.
Old Master Ge’s son, Ge Dashan, immediately asked anxiously, “Qin Yue, what’s wrong with my father? Didn’t he say that he’s cured and there’s no problem? Why is his illness acting up again?”
The anxiety in Ge Dashan’s eyes was real.
Old Master Ge’s will had not been written yet. Whether the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would belong to him or his twin brother, he had not explained these things.
If Old Master Ge let go just like that, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would definitely become a mess.
He was not afraid that the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would return to his younger brother, but he was afraid that the matter would happen too suddenly and cause a huge commotion in the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, and outsiders would take a share.
Qin Yue raised his head and said, “Old Master Ge… isn’t having a seizure. He’s just too tired today, so he’s having epilepsy.”
“Does that mean there’s no big problem?”
“Yes. Let’s carry the old man upstairs first. I’ll immediately prescribe a prescription to help him ease his symptoms.”
As long as he could delay some time, he could get Jennie Taylor to come over.
Of course, the prerequisite was that it was not in public. Jennie Taylor and his true identity could not be discovered. Ge Dashan believed in Qin Yue without a doubt. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll bring Dad upstairs now. Hurry up and write the prescription! I’ll send someone to brew the medicine immediately!”
“Yes, Mr. Mountain.”
However, just as Ge Dashan was about to send someone to carry Ge Pingchuan upstairs, a female voice suddenly sounded-
“No, it’s not an ordinary spasm. We can’t touch him casually, or it will become even worse!”
Ge Dashan subconsciously stopped his subordinates and looked down the stage.
“Who? Who was talking just now?”
Qin Yue was the first to realize that the person who spoke was Jennie Taylor’s Melody Fox.
He did not know what Melody Fox wanted to do, but he subconsciously blocked Ge Dashan’s line of sight and urged, “Mr. Dashan, we have to bring Old Master Ge to a less crowded place to lie down as soon as possible. Moreover, there are so many people here. It’s not good for them to keep watching Old Master Ge in this state. It might affect Old Master Ge’s dignity.”
Just as Ge Dashan was hesitating, he heard the female voice again-
“He’s not suffering from a seizure caused by ordinary exhaustion. He’s poisoned.”
As soon as the word “poisoned” came out, Ge Dashan did not dare to touch Ge Pingchuan casually.
He pushed Qin Yue, who was in front of him, away and looked at the audience. “Who said he was poisoned?”
The audience was silent. They were all looking for the person to speak to.
Melody Fox finally stood up from his seat.
Apart from Ge Pingchuan, who was foaming at the mouth, everyone looked at Melody Fox.
“And you are… ?”
Ge Dashan was not present at the beginning, so he did not know Melody Fox’s identity.
However, looking at the seat she was sitting in, her status was probably not ordinary.
Therefore, Ge Dashan’s words to Melody Fox were somewhat credible.
After all, Ge Pingchuan’s symptoms did not seem to be caused by exhaustion.
Facing Ge Dashan’s question, Ken Swanson also stood up and said, “This is my wife, Melody Fox. She’s in charge of the largest traditional medicine dojo in Silverlake. Her medical skills are very good. Perhaps she can help Old Master Ge take a look and see what’s going on.”
Ge Dashan knew Ken Swanson.
When he heard that Ken Swanson was the guarantor, he immediately believed Melody Fox more.
“So it’s Grandma Mr. Swanson. Grandma Mr. Swanson. You
said my father was poisoned. Are you sure?”
Melody Fox nodded without hesitation. “I’m sure.”
Chapter 1150
When Melody Fox said “confirmed”, everyone gasped. “Who has the guts to poison Old Master Ge?”
“Could it be a mistake?”
“Oh my god, what poison is it? What Fox poison? Wasn’t Fox fine at the beginning of the cocktail party?”
“Could it be the Fox poison at the cocktail party? This poison… Could we have been infected too?”
The more they discussed, the more panicked they became. They were afraid that they would be implicated in this matter, and they were even more afraid that they would be accidentally poisoned.
Ge Dashan suppressed the panic in his heart and asked, Grandma Mr. Swanson, how did you determine that my father was poisoned?”
Melody Fox took a few steps to the stage. He passed by Qin Yue, who was staring at her coldly and came to Ge Dashan.
“I was only observing his symptoms just now. I’m not 100% sure yet. If you agree, I’ll take Elder Ge’s pulse now.”
“Of course, I agree. Please!”
However, just as Melody Fox was about to take her pulse, Qin Yue stopped her.
“Mr. Ge, I’ve been with Old Ge for so long. I know his condition the best. He’s definitely not poisoned. Don’t delay Fox rooms anymore. Hurry up and help Old Ge upstairs.”
Melody Fox stared at Qin Yue expressionlessly and said, ” You seem to be very afraid that I’ll take Old Ge’s pulse…” Qin Yue was stunned. Sensing Ge Dashan’s suspicious gaze, he quickly said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I just feel that you’re delaying Room Fox!”
“At most, I can take your pulse in two minutes. If you didn’t stop me, I would have finished taking your pulse by now.”
Hearing this, Ge Dashan frowned and ordered Qin Yue.
“Qin Yue, move aside! Let Grandma Mr. Swanson take your pulse.”
“But…”
Just as Qin Yue finished speaking, the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
“Another one down!”
When the guests saw this scene, they panicked even more. They were all worried that the next person to fall would be them.
Qin Yue looked in the direction of the voice in surprise and saw a man in a bodyguard uniform lying on the ground. His symptoms were exactly the same as Old Master Ge’s. His entire body was twitching and foaming at the mouth.
“How could this be…”
The one who was poisoned was Old Master Ge, and Old Master Ge’s poison had clearly been suppressed.
Also, he had indeed tampered with the wine at the cocktail party, but those were slow-acting poisons that attacked the immune system of the human body.
Why did he have the same symptoms as Old Master Ge?
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong!
Someone must be planning something.
Who was it? What was he trying to do?
He subconsciously looked at Melody Fox.
Could it be this b*tch?
What was her ultimate goal?
Melody Fox was also looking down the stage at this
moment. His face was filled with surprise, but he was not
surprised in his heart.
There was no other reason because the person on the ground was Spencer.
She had arranged all of this in advance.
Melody Fox pretended to look serious and said to Ge Dashan, “Mr. Ge, I seriously suspect that someone poisoned the cocktail party somewhere.”
Cold sweat broke out on Ge Dashan’s forehead.
Let’s not talk about Old Master Ge first.
The people who came tonight were not ordinary people, they were the organizers. If someone really died, the reputation of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would be ruined. Perhaps the entire Chamber of Commerce would be severely affected.
He tried his best to calm himself down and said to Melody Fox, “Grandma Mr. Swanson, please take my father’s pulse first! See what’s wrong with him.”
“Okay.”
Melody Fox squatted down and took Old Master Ge’s hand to take his pulse.
This time, Qin Yue did not dare to stop him.
If he stopped them again, it would arouse the suspicion of Ge Dashan and the others.
A moment later, Melody Fox let go of Old Ge’s hand and said to Ge Dashan with a serious expression, “Mr. Ge, your father was indeed poisoned.”
Ge Dashan’s expression became even more solemn.
“Excuse me, Grandma Mr. Swanson, do you have any ideas? What should we do now?”
“I can use acupuncture to force the poison out of him, but I’m not sure if it can cure Old Master Ge.”
Qin Yue quickly said, “Mr. Ge, let me do it! If I can’t, there’s still that day…”
“Shut up!” Ge Dashan knew what Qin Yue was going to say.
He was definitely talking about the doctor that Ulric Swanson had brought over.
However, they could not spread the news that they had seen Ulric Swanson, let alone let Ken Swanson and the others know.
Moreover, who knew if his father could last until the next day?
Therefore, he could only count on Melody Fox now.
“Grandma Mr. Swanson, I’ll leave everything to you! If you really can’t cure it… I definitely won’t blame you.”
“Yes. However, this is indeed a little tricky.” Melody Fox paused for a moment and said, “The poison that Old Ge was poisoned with this time is malicious doctors. Other than acupuncture treatment, I also need other medicine to dispel the poison.”
Ge Dashan’s eyes widened.
“What?! malicious doctors!”
Everyone at the scene exclaimed.
“malicious doctors?! malicious doctors actually appeared again?”
“Didn’t malicious doctors’s faction get wiped out by the officials more than ten years ago?”
Qin Yue narrowed his eyes and said, “Grandma Mr.
Swanson, if you don’t understand, don’t spout nonsense. malicious doctors have long disappeared. What you said is just an alarmist.”
Melody Fox sneered and said, “If malicious doctors have long ceased to exist, then why is the Special Task Force from Halcyon still here? And the size of our team has never decreased? Halcyon has so many people, so, normally, a few fish escape the net. On the other hand, as Elder Ge’s personal doctor, can’t you tell that he has been poisoned for a long time?”
“-“
“Or could it be that you were the one who poisoned him?” “I didn’t!”
Qin Yue subconsciously raised his voice and said, “Mr. Ge, you have to believe me!”
Ge Dashan looked deeply at Qin Yue and suddenly remembered something. He said, “Qin Yue if I remember correctly, you were in charge of tonight’s drinks arrangement, right? Moreover, you were the one who asked for it.”
Qin Yue felt a chill run down his spine.
“I-I just want to share Old Ge’s workload.”
Melody Fox questioned, “Your job is a doctor. Why are you interfering in the matter of alcohol?”
“I…” Qin Yue gritted his teeth and found an excuse. “Alright, I admit that I’ve crossed the line by interfering in the wine. However, I’m not doing this to harm anyone. I just want to take some commission from the wine.”
Melody Fox sneered.
“You really know how to change the focus. I’ll know if there’s anything wrong with the wine after I try.”
As Melody Fox spoke, he took out the medicinal powder from the small porcelain bottle and said to Ge Dashan, This medicinal powder will undergo a chemical reaction with poison. You can try finding any wine in the pool.” When Ge Dashan heard this, he immediately instructed his subordinates to do it.
Soon, his subordinate came over with a few glasses of water.
Ge Dashan personally sprinkled the powder into the wine. Under everyone’s gaze, the color of the wine quickly changed.
“The wine is indeed poisonous!” Melody Fox looked at Qin Yue coldly. “Who are you? You are malicious doctors, right?”
Chapter 1151
“I’m not!” Qin Yue immediately retorted. “I have nothing to do with malicious doctors! On the other hand, you’re very strange. malicious doctors disappeared for so many years. How can you tell that Old Master Ge was poisoned by malicious doctors with just a pulse? I think you’re the one with the problem! Mr. Ge, don’t be deceived by her!”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.
“The reason why I could identify malicious doctors’s poison was because I was in a partnership with the Special Task Force. I’ve been helping them find malicious doctors hiding everywhere.”
“What evidence do you have!”
“Of course I have evidence. I can call the Special Task Force’s people over to clear my name now. Besides, let me tell you directly. I realized that something was wrong with the wine just now, so I contacted the Special Task Force’s people in advance. They should be here soon.”
Qin Yue’s eyes widened.
Special Task Force!
When malicious doctors saw a Special Task Force, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. He could not help but panic and turn around to run.
However, Ken Swanson had long expected Qin Yue to run away. He gave him a look, and the Death Warrior, who was lying in ambush around him, instantly rushed up and pressed Qin Yue to the ground.
Everything happened very quickly. Before Ge Dashan could react, Qin Yue had already been tied up.
“Let go! Let go of me! I’m not a malicious doctor!”
The Fox guests present finally reacted. Room 1 Fox was in a state of panic.
“malicious doctors… There are actually malicious doctors here… I won’t die here, right?”
“Damn it! If I had known, I wouldn’t have come!”
“Am I poisoned too? I don’t want to die!”
“Mom, I’m so scared…”
The Special Task Force people arrived at the scene.
Melody Fox had already contacted the Captain’s Special Task Force in private, so the Vice-Captain who came was very polite to Melody Fox.
The Special Task Force’s people quickly found some poison powder that only malicious doctors would have on Qin Yue. This time, Qin Yue did not explain. He only struggled with all his might, trying to escape.
Ge Dashan was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
“Qin Yue, our family treats you well. Why did you do such a thing? What’s your motive?!”
Qin Yue ignored Ge Dashan and stared at Melody Fox. “Damn b*tch! What kind of Fox discovered you!”
Melody Fox shook his head. “If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it. You, malicious doctors, will walk the path of destruction sooner or later because you are all a group of demons against humanity!”
The vice-captain’s men carefully searched Qin Yue’s clothes, but they could not find any more useful information.
“Miss Fox, I’ll lock him up and interrogate him alone. Maybe I can get some useful information.”
“Okay.”
Ken Swanson said, “I’ll search his residence. I’ll leave Old Master Ge to you. I’ll get Aaron Berg to stay and let you control him.”
“Okay! Go ahead.”
After Qin Yue was brought to a room in the villa by a group of people to be interrogated, the vice-captain thanked Melody Fox gratefully. “Thank you, Miss Fox, for helping us capture malicious doctors.”
Melody Fox shook his head. “This is what I should do. However, I’m afraid that many people at the scene today have been poisoned by malicious doctors. I’m afraid I can’t handle it alone. I still need your help to clean up the poison with me.”
“No problem, this is our duty.” The vice-captain nodded.
They had studied malicious doctors for so many years. They had a way to treat some ordinary malicious doctor’s poison.
However, Old Master Ge’s poison was too ferocious. Only Melody Fox could detoxify it.
Melody Fox asked Ge Dashan to bring Old Master Ge to the second floor. After feeding Old Master Ge a dose of medicine to protect his heart meridians, he began to perform acupuncture on Old Master Ge.
Ge Dashan paced back and forth at the side, feeling very anxious.
He asked someone to inquire about the situation downstairs. When he heard that his subordinates had reported that many people’s toxins had been discharged, he could not help but ask Melody Fox, “My father didn’t drink much at all. How can it be more serious than those guests who drank a lot?”
Melody Fox accurately inserted the last silver needle before answering Ge Dashan.
“Mr. Ge, the poison in your father has nothing to do with tonight’s drinks. According to his pulse, his poison has existed for two to three months and has already invaded his heart meridian.’
“Two to three months ago…” Ge Dashan suddenly remembered that two to three months ago, it was room Fox where Qin Yue had come to stay.
“Damn it! It must be that bastard Qin Yue!”
Melody Fox nodded. “8 Jiu should be around.”
She knew very well that Qin Yue was the one who poisoned her, but the mastermind behind Qin Yue was someone else. “Moreover, Elder Ge’s illness is very complicated.”
Ge Dashan quickly asked, “Complicated… What do you mean? Is being poisoned complicated or not?”
Melody Fox said, “From his pulse, the poison in his body has actually been suppressed by the medicine. However, the medicine that suppresses the poison in his body also contains poison. Therefore, there are a total of three types of poison in his body now. One is the poison Qin Yue poisoned him with a few months ago. One is the poison in the wine tonight. The other is the poison that suppresses the first poison.”
Ge Dashan’s expression changed drastically.
He said in a panic, “The poison that suppresses his poison is a way to fight poison, right? Since it’s used to suppress it, it shouldn’t cause any damage to his body, right?”
“No. Using poison to fight poison is indeed very powerful. It ingeniously suppressed Elder Ge’s first poison. Moreover, only malicious doctors know how to make this poison. It seems that Qin Yue didn’t want Elder Ge to die just like that, so he used another poison to suppress the first poison.”
Ge Dashan moved his lips. His mind was already thinking about Jennie Taylor and Ulric Swanson.
He asked, “So, the poison used to suppress it will also harm the body?”
“Not only is there damage, but it’s also very serious. It looks like the poison has been suppressed and the human body will recover its spirit, but in fact, it’s using Old Ge’s blood and vital qi to maintain his state for the time being. Once his vital qi is exhausted, only death awaits Old Ge. According to his pulse, Old Ge only has Fox rooms in a year at most.”
“How, how could this be…”
Ulric Swanson clearly said that they had already treated his father.
Moreover, that doctor was also a proper doctor. Why was he related to malicious doctors?
At this moment, the Special Task Force’s Vice-Captain and Ken Swanson knocked on the door and walked in.
“Did you get anything out of the interrogation?” Melody Fox asked.
The vice-captain said in a very ashamed tone, “I’m sorry,
Miss Fox. We were careless and actually made him commit suicide by taking poison.”
Ken Swanson sighed and said, “We didn’t find anything useful in his residence either. I’m afraid malicious doctors’s lead has been cut off again.”
As he spoke, he gave Melody Fox a look.
Melody Fox immediately understood and said, “That’s a pity. If we can find some clues, we might be able to find the antidote. Old Master Ge will be less dangerous.”
Chapter 1152
Ge Dashan moved his lips and could not help but ask, “Didn’t they say that… the antidote for malicious doctors, even if it’s an antidote, is also poisonous?”
Melody Fox nodded.
“That’s right. But I can make an antidote without poison by extracting their ingredients.”
Ken Swanson shook his head. “It’s useless to talk about this now. Qin Yue is already dead, and we don’t know where he hid the antidote. But his residence definitely doesn’t have it.”
Melody Fox sighed and said, “Generally speaking, malicious doctors would not deliberately leave the antidote. Because once they make a move, they would not think of letting the person who was attacked have a chance to be saved. This is also the viciousness of malicious doctors.”
The two of them echoed each other, although their goal was to make Ge Dashan suspicious of Ulric Swanson.
However, what Melody Fox said was not a lie.
Of course, she just didn’t say that even without the antidote, she could slowly expel the poison in Old Master Ge’s body.
However, without the antidote, he would need to spend Fox units and energy.
When Ge Dashan heard their conversation, a huge wave seemed to rise in his eyes.
A terrifying guess wrapped around his entire body like a vine.
“Alright, Room Fox is about done. I’m going to pull out the needles. Get ready.”
Melody Fox said as he prepared to remove the silver needles.
Before Ge Dashan could ask what preparations he had to
make, Old Master Ge, who had fainted, suddenly spat out blood from his mouth.
Ge Dashan was shocked and froze on the spot.
Melody Fox frowned and reminded him, “What are you waiting for? Help him up so that he doesn’t choke on the poisonous blood!”
Only then did Ge Dashan react. He hurriedly went forward and helped Old Master Ge up. At the same time, he asked someone to wipe the blood off Old Master Ge.
The blood that Old Master Ge spat out was very dark. The blood that he spat out at the beginning was almost black and red.
After vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood in a row, Ge
Dashan was a little worried that Old Master Ge had treated Melody Fox to death. Old Master Ge’s hand suddenly moved.
Ge Dashan noticed and quickly shouted, “Dad! Dad, wake up. Can you hear me?”
Old Master Ge slowly opened his eyes, his face full of weakness.
Melody Fox happened to remove his last silver needle.
After packing up the silver needles, she took out a porcelain bottle from her medical bag and handed it to Ge Dashan.
“This medicine can detoxify the poison. Take one pill a day. However, this can’t completely eliminate the poison. If you want to completely expel the poison, you still need to perform acupuncture every other week. If you trust me, come and find me after a week. If you don’t believe me, you can find another doctor. By the way, the medicine in the porcelain bottle happens to be for a week. Within this week, as long as you take the pill at Fox, you can ensure that Old Master Ge is safe and sound.”
“Thank you, Grandma Mr. Swanson!”
Ge Dashan accepted the porcelain bottle gratefully. When Fox’s situation was critical, if Melody Fox had not stepped forward, his father would probably have left. He would never know that the person who killed his father was Qin Yue.
It was even possible that he would give the person who killed his father a large sum of money as remuneration for taking care of his father a while ago.
At the thought of this possibility, Ge Dashan felt terrible.
Old Master Ge looked at Ge Dashan and Melody Fox in confusion. Then, he saw the Special Task Force’s Vice-Captain from the corner of his eye and felt even stranger.
“Big Mountain, what’s going on…?”
Ge Dashan patted his father’s arm and said, “Dad, have a good rest first. When you’re done resting, I’ll explain to you what happened after you fainted.”
Old man Ge knew that Ge Dashan had something to say, so he closed his eyes to rest.
Melody Fox also bid farewell to Fox.
“Old Ge Fox won’t be in any danger, but Old Ge is old after all. It’s best if you send him to First Hospital for observation. If you need oxygen or something, it’ll be more convenient. We’ll leave first. If there’s anything the hospital can’t handle, contact us.”
“Thank you, Grandma Mr. Swanson. I understand. In a while, I’ll send my father to the hospital for observation for a few days.” “Yeah.”
“Let me send the two of you down!”
Melody Fox and Ken Swanson did not refuse and went downstairs together.
The poison in the guests’ bodies was not serious. Special Task Force’s team members had already treated them.
However, the entire banquet venue looked lifeless, so everyone was still unable to calm down.
This was not hard to understand.
Everyone present was rich and powerful. Their lives and health were what they valued the most. After all, if they died, they would not be able to enjoy the money and power. It was the same reasoning as Qin Shihuang’s desire for the elixir of immortality after unifying the six states.
However, it just so happened that they encountered something like tonight. How could they calm down?
Melody Fox looked around to see if there was anything that required her help.
Fortunately, everyone’s situation was still alright. It was enough for the Special Task Force’s people to handle it.
“Mr. Swanson, Mr. Swanson Grandma.” Ge Dashan said, “It’s all thanks to you guys today. Otherwise, none of us would have known that we were poisoned. If the poison acts up one day, Insterimond will really have an ‘earthquake’.”
When the others heard this, they also came back to their senses. They realized that Melody Fox and Ken Swanson had allowed them to escape this calamity.
They quickly went forward to thank Melody Fox and Ken Swanson.
“Mr. Swanson, Mr. Swanson Grandma, I can’t repay you for saving my life! In the future, as long as you need us, you can ask Fox!”
“Thank you very much! You are our family’s benefactors!” Some noble ladies extended an olive branch to Melody Fox respectfully.
“Grandma Mr. Swanson, if you don’t mind, please add my contact number! If we have any talks in the future, please do me the honor.”
Melody Fox knew that this noble lady’s invitation did not only represent her. It did not really mean that she was allowed to participate in the coffee event. Instead, it meant that more than half of Insterimond’s circle of noblewomen acknowledged her.
These women seem to only arrange flowers and do beauty treatments every day, but they are actually the link of the upper-class circle.
Assimilating into them was equivalent to integrating into the entire upper-class society.
Moreover, many Fox days were more useful than attending many dinners or giving gifts when the pillow blew.
Therefore, Melody Fox did not refuse. Instead, he smiled
and added each other as friends.
After receiving everyone’s gratitude, Ge Dashan personally sent the two of them to the door.
Ge Dashan thanked her again, “Grandma Mr. Swanson, our Ge family will remember your kindness. If you need our help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
“I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to save lives and heal injuries. You don’t have to be so polite.”
Ken Swanson also said, “Old Ge is also my elder. When Old Ge is in trouble, we should not stand by and do nothing. You don’t have to take it to heart. Quickly go back and take care of Old Ge.”
“Okay! Then I’ll take my leave first.”
After watching Ge Dashan enter, Melody Fox could not help but ask, “Is Qin Yue really dead?”
Chapter 1153
Ken Swanson smiled meaningfully.
“Let’s just say he’s really dead.”
“What do you mean?”
“Let’s talk in the car.”
Melody Fox also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he quickly got into the car.
After getting into the car, Ken Swanson explained the cause and effect of the matter to her.
Qin Yue wanted to bite the poison hidden in his teeth to commit suicide, but Aaron Berg reacted quickly and Fox stopped him.
Qin Yue was already in the hands of Ken Swanson in the black market.
“The vice-captain didn’t agree to hand her over to me at first, but he also knew that my people were better than his people and could make Qin Yue talk. That’s why he agreed to act with me.”
Melody Fox’s eyes were bright as he said, “As long as he relents and lets him step forward to identify Ulric Swanson and Jennie Taylor, the two of them won’t be able to escape.” “Yes. But I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get him to talk.”
“Don’t be afraid. He’ll come around eventually. He’s going to die anyway. He’ll want a quick death.”
Ken Swanson smiled and nodded. He reached out to rub Melody Fox’s little head and said, “Thank you, Grandma Mr. Swanson. It’s all thanks to you tonight. Not only did you help me win over the hearts of these guests tonight, I think Elder Ge will also re-establish his faction.”
Melody Fox pretended to be unhappy and glared at Ken Swanson.
“You’re still talking about me. I thanked you Fox times, but you gave me a cold face. If you say thank you now, should I give you a cold face too?”
Ken Swanson did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Alright, then I take back what I said just now. This is what a wife should do for her husband.”
Melody Fox frowned. “Are you asking for a beating?”
“Hahahaha…” Ken Swanson laughed and pulled Melody Fox into his arms.
“Wife, you don’t know how lucky I am to have met you.” Melody Fox hugged Ken Swanson back. “Me too.”
On the second floor of the villa.
After Ge Dashan returned to Old Master Ge’s room, he got someone to arrange for a car to set off for First Hospital.
Then, she sat beside the old man and told him what happened after he fainted.
The old man’s expression changed again and again.
His skinny hands were tightly clenched into fists.
“Qin Yue… He’s actually a malicious doctor!”
“What we can be sure of now is that your health has suddenly deteriorated recently because Qin Yue poisoned you.”
As Ge Dashan spoke, he lowered his head guiltily and said, I’m sorry, Dad. It’s all my fault for not being careful enough to let malicious doctors get by your side.”
Grandpa Ge patted Ge Dashan’s shoulder comfortingly and said, “It’s not your fault. I took a fancy to Qin Yue and brought him to my side. Back then, I happened to see his superb medical skills, so I took him in as a private doctor. But now it seems that there aren’t so many coincidences in the world. This was all their plan!”
“Them?” Ge Dashan looked at Old Man Ge and asked the guess in his heart, “You mean that you also suspect that this matter might be related to Ulric Swanson?”
“Yes.” Old Master Ge’s face was as dark as water.
He gritted his teeth and said, “He first arranged for Qin Yue to come to my side and poisoned me. Then, he recommended another malicious doctor to detoxify me. This was all directed and acted by him. His goal was to make me stand on his side when he seized the position of the heir.”
Ge Dashan stomped his feet in anger.
When Fox heard Melody Fox say that his father’s symptoms were Fox, he had a vague guess. However, now that he heard Grandpa Ge say it, he was even angrier.
“To think that we were so grateful to him, but we never thought that we were just his flags. He’s treating us like fools!”
Old Master Ge narrowed his eyes. “I know that cooperating with him is asking a tiger for its skin, but I didn’t expect that from the beginning, I was already walking into a tiger’s den. If it weren’t for Ken Swanson and his wife today, I’m afraid I would have died.”
Ge Dashan was more impulsive and immediately said, “I’ll bring all of us to take revenge on Ulric Swanson now!”
“Stop right there!” Old Ge stopped Ge Dashan and said, “It’s because of your personality that I can’t retire yet! If you were as calm as your brother, I would have handed the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce to you long ago.
Ge Dashan pursed his lips. Thinking of his younger brother, he couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, what did you send Xiaoshan to do? Ever since Ulric Swanson came that day, Xiaoshan has disappeared. He didn’t even appear at the summer banquet tonight.”
Elder Ge raised his chin slightly and said, “I’m not so easy to fool. When I thought about it back then, I felt that Ulric Swanson’s appearance was too similar to Fox’s. It was very strange, but I couldn’t be sure if it was a coincidence or a premeditated plan, so I asked Xiao San to follow the doctor he brought.”
Ge Dashan’s eyes lit up and he gave him a thumbs up.
“Dad, you’re amazing! The older the ginger, the spicier it is!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open forcefully.
“Who is it?!” Ge Dashan was about to flare up when he saw Ge Xiaoshan rushing in.
“Brother, it’s me!”
Ge Dashan heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought someone was barging in.”
Ge Xiaoshan nodded and walked to Old Man Ge’s side.
“Dad, I heard that something happened to you, so I rushed back. How are you feeling now?”
Old Master Ge said unhappily, “Who asked you to come back? Didn’t I ask you to follow that doctor personally? You’re not allowed to come back without my orders?”
Ge Xiaoshan lowered his head. “I was wrong.
Ge Dashan immediately spoke up for his brother. “Dad, don’t blame him. He’s just worried about you.”
Old Master Ge looked at the two of them, feeling both gratified and annoyed.
He was gratified that there were many disputes among the wealthy families, especially those who had many sons. They would definitely want to fight for assets like Ulric Swanson and Ken Swanson, but his two sons were so close that they wished they could wear the same pants. The annoying thing was that every time he reprimanded one of them, the other would speak up for him, making him unable to continue scolding even if he wanted to.
Grandpa Ge sighed and softened his tone. “I’m fine for the time being. Did you notice anything wrong when I asked you to follow the doctor?”
Ge Xiaoshan’s tracking skills were top-notch. Even the best detective couldn’t compare to his tracking skills.
That was why Old Man Ge had sent Ge Xiaoshan to follow him personally.
As expected, Ge Xiaoshan said agitatedly, “Dad, there’s indeed something wrong with that doctor! What do you think? That doctor is actually a woman!”
Old Master Ge reacted quickly and asked in surprise, “You mean, she knows how to disguise herself?”
“That’s right! I thought that disguise techniques were only available in television dramas. I didn’t expect such a thing to really exist in reality.”
It took Grandpa Ge a few Seconds minutes to digest this news.
However, he had heard that someone in Insterimond knew how to disguise themselves, so he was not as surprised as Ge Xiaoshan.
“Did you find anything else besides this?”
Chapter 1154
Other than the Disguise Technique, Ge Xiaoshan did discover some other information.
Ge Xiaoshan replied, “This woman was with Ulric Swanson under almost all circumstances. She doesn’t seem to be just his personal doctor, Janet Murphy. Also, at Fox in the evening, they went to see Orek’s wife, Eliza.”
Old Master Ge narrowed his eyes.
“They actually want to rope in Ou Jing… Since they want to rope in Ou Jing, it seems like Ulric Swanson is really eyeing the position of heir covetously.”
Ge Dashan clenched his fists and said, “If they weren’t eyeing you covetously, they wouldn’t dare to scheme against you.”
Ge Xiaoshan was stunned and asked in disbelief, “Did Ulric Swanson do something to Dad today?”
Only then did Ge Dashan remember that he had not told Ge Xiaoshan about what happened tonight. He quickly repeated it in the shortest possible way.
Hearing this, Ge Xiaoshan was furious.
However, he was much calmer than Ge Dashan. After a moment of silence, he asked Old Master Ge, “Dad, what are you going to do next?”
“What’s your decision?”
Ge Xiaoshan said, “We definitely can’t work with Ulric Swanson anymore. That kid is sinister and cunning. He almost killed you. According to my plan, we’ll look for Ken Swanson directly and work with him. We’ll borrow Ken Swanson’s hands to avenge you!”
Ge Dashan nodded in agreement. “That’s right! Dad, I think so too. With our strength alone, it’s still relatively troublesome to take revenge. However, if we stand on the same side as Ken Swanson, our chances of winning will be much higher if we get rid of Ulric Swanson.”
“Yes, Dad. If it’s okay with you, I’ll tell Ken Swanson everything I’ve got right now.”
However, Ge Pingchuan did not speak for a long time.
After a while, he said, “No, I won’t stand on either side. I don’t want to get involved in this mess anymore.”
Ge Pingchuan was afraid.
the Swanson family’s two sons were not easy to deal with.
Although Ken Swanson was much more reliable than Ulric Swanson, once they cooperated with Ken Swanson, it was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Ulric Swanson.
He could not ask a tiger for its skin, but he could not be an enemy of a tiger either.
“In the future, our Jingbei Chamber of Commerce will maintain absolute neutrality between the two of them. We won’t help or be enemies with anyone.”
Ge Dashan said indignantly, “But, Dad, how are we going to avenge you in this way?”
“Pretend that nothing happened! Tomorrow, you two brothers will appease all the guests tonight. Those who should give money will give money, and those who should give gifts will give gifts. The storm will pass quickly.”
Ge Pingchuan had already made up his mind not to get involved in the Swanson Group’s matter.
Seeing that Ge Pingchuan had made up his mind, Ge Xiaoshan could only nod. “Yes, I understand. We will do as you say.”
Ge Dashan suddenly thought of the poison in Ge Pingchuan’s body.
He quickly said, “Dad, have you forgotten that the poison in your body has not been completely eliminated? In a week, we still have to find Grandma Mr. Swanson for acupuncture and detoxification. If we don’t cooperate with Ken Swanson, the poison in your body…”
Ge Pingchuan’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
“Since I already know that this is malicious doctors’s poison, I can naturally find someone stronger than her to detoxify me. She’s just a little girl who only knows a little.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements.” Ge Dashan agreed, but he was still a little uneasy.
For some reason, he felt that his father had made the wrong decision this time.
After the two brothers sent Ge Pingchuan to the hospital, Ge Dashan could not help but tell Ge Xiaoshan his worries. “Dad thought Fox was already unconscious and didn’t know how critical his condition was, but I saw that Mr. Swanson’s grandmother was not anxious when she encountered trouble. The Fox who treated Dad also looked very professional. Moreover, after she performed the acupuncture, Dad was indeed out of danger… Didn’t the doctor say just now that our father’s condition was actually fine even if he wasn’t hospitalized? I think her medical skills might not be as good as what Dad said.”
Ge Xiaoshan’s thoughts were not that jumpy, he only knew how to follow orders.
Therefore, after hearing this, he still had the same stance as Ge Pingchuan.
“Dad’s decision has never gone wrong. Let’s not question his decision. Besides, Dad is right. We can’t afford to offend either of those two people from the Swanson family. It’s better not to get involved with either of them. This is the safest way for Dad, us, and the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.”
“Alright then…”
“Yes, I’ll go over to Ken Swanson tomorrow to give you a gift and thank you. Brother, you don’t have to appear. You were also frightened today. Go back and rest well. I’ll guard the hospital.”
“Got it. I’ll change shifts with you early in the morning.”
As Ge Dashan spoke, he told himself not to let his
imagination run wild. He went home to rest.
On the other hand, Ulric Swanson heard about the incident at the Summer Gala.
He was about to go to sleep and fly back to Silverlake tomorrow morning. When he heard the news, he immediately sat up in bed and called for a meeting with Insterimond’s subordinates.
Jennie Taylor was the last to arrive..
Her eyes were greenish-purple, and she looked very disheveled.
There was no other reason. special task force’s people had found a few places that Qin Yue often went to.
Those places were Insterimond malicious doctors’ gathering places. Therefore, when she received the news, Room Fox ran to destroy the malicious doctor’s things and arrange a new residence for malicious doctors.
However, in order to help a malicious doctor escape, she was unfortunately discovered by a few special task force members and narrowly escaped.
When she saw Ulric Swanson, she immediately knelt down in front of him.
“Master Ting, it’s all my fault. Please punish me!”
Such an apologetic attitude made it impossible for Ulric Swanson1 Fox to punish her.
Ulric Swanson rubbed his temples and asked, “Have you dealt with your men? They didn’t fall into the Special Task Force’s hands again, right?”
Jennie Taylor quickly replied, “No. I ran for Fox. I knew that one of them could not escape, so I executed him in advance. As for Qin Yue, I found out that he had already committed suicide by taking medicine before the interrogation, so this matter will definitely not implicate you.”
Ulric Swanson’s expression softened slightly, but he quickly became serious again.
“Qin Yue is dead, but I’m afraid Ge Pingchuan will suspect us.”
Jennie Taylor lowered his head and said, “It’s just that Ge Pingchuan is afraid of death. I’m afraid he won’t dare to expose us. If he really provided information to the Special Task Force’s people, the Special Task Force would have already found us.”
Ulric Swanson closed his eyes. He was still frustrated.
“It’s a pity that the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce is such a big fish. We spent countless efforts and spent two months to catch it. Now, it’s off the hook again. Not only is it off the hook, but it will never take the bait again.”
“It’s all my fault!”
Ulric Swanson opened his eyes and glanced at Jennie Taylor. “Decoupling is a small matter, but if he bites someone else’s hook, it will be bad.”
Chapter 1155
Ulric Swanson’s words were vague, but Jennie Taylor knew very well what he meant.
He was referring to Ken Swanson.
Ge Pingchuan could choose not to work with them, but if he became Ken Swanson’s assistant, he would be handing a sharp blade to his opponent.
Jennie Taylor’s mind was racing. He suddenly said, “I understand what you mean. I’ll get rid of Ge Pingchuan myself.”
“No.” Ulric Swanson lit a cigarette and said, “It’s very likely that you’ve already been targeted by the Ge family, so this time, you and your men can’t attack again.”
“Then you mean…”
“Don’t forget, we have another card.”
Jennie Taylor’s eyes lit up. He confirmed, “You mean your uncle’s wife, the Miaojiang woman?”
“That’s right. I’ll contact her and ask her to attack Ge Pingchuan. What you need to do next is to stabilize
Insterimond’s malicious doctors’s heart. If they’re
frightened by this incident and hide like before, our strength will be much weaker.”
“Yes, I understand. It’s just that…” Jennie Taylor hesitated.
Ulric Swanson flicked his cigarette and said, “If you have something to say, say it.”
“That Miaojiang woman… is Kua Rangliu. The couple is so ambitious. Will they listen to our arrangements? If we contact her and something else happens…”
“Huh!”
Ulric Swanson sneered and said, “They want me to fight with Ken Swanson and wait for both of us to suffer losses before reaping the benefits. However, it’s not that Fox yet. They will naturally help us.”
“Yes, I understand. I’ll listen to your arrangements.”
“Okay. Go!”
After Jennie Taylor left, Ulric Swanson discussed with his other subordinates about who else he could recruit.
After everything was arranged, he called Kua Rangliu.
Just as he had expected, Kua Rangliu readily agreed to poison Ge Pingchuan.
“But…” Kua Rangliu held the phone and said, “I helped you. What can you give me?”
Ulric Swanson raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do you want?”
Quarangliu was silent for a moment before saying, “The profits from the Insterimond branch are too little. We want to plant our people to work at the headquarters.”
Ulric Swanson’s eyes turned cold.
The old man was very suspicious. Even his own brother had always been on guard.
As a result, although Li Ming’s people could work in Branch Insterimond, they could not enter Headquarters Silverlake. “This matter… is a little tricky. However, it’s not impossible. As long as you cooperate with me to get rid of Ge Pingchuan, I can give you three spots to work at the headquarters.”
“Sure! Give me Fox rooms a week. Ge Pingchuan will definitely die after a week!”
“Very good. Then I won’t disturb Auntie’s rest.”
After the call ended, Ulric Swanson’s mouth revealed a mocking smile.
These two people were getting more and more ambitious, and they didn’t know how to hide it anymore.
If they wanted to sit back and reap the benefits, they would have to see if they had the fate to do so.
Ulric Swanson dialed Jennie Taylor.
“There’s something I need you to do before I return to Silverlake. It’s about Kuarang Liu…”
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Melody Fox was woken up by Aaron Berg’s knock on the door.
She opened her eyes and found that Ken Swanson was still asleep. She sat up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Old Master Ge’s men are here. It’s his youngest son, Ge Xiaoshan.”
Melody Fox glanced at room Fox. It was only eight in the morning.
“I understand. I’ll be right out. Please ask him to wait in the living room for a moment.”
“Yes!”
She turned around and was about to wake Ken Swanson when she realized that Ken Swanson was awake too.
The two of them looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
If he had come to thank her seriously, he would not have come so early. He would have chosen to come at mealtime. Moreover, the other party did not inform him in advance.
“Go wash up. There’s no hurry. Since they’re doing this, we don’t have to be too polite.”
“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded. He was also a little unhappy.
After all, she had saved Ge Pingchuan’s life. Although she had schemed against him, the other party’s gratitude did not seem to be as sincere as Ge Dashan had shown.
After washing his face, Fox, Melody Fox only symbolically wiped his face to avoid wiping away the red spots on his face.
After the two of them washed up, Melody Fox asked Ken Swanson to stay in the bedroom and walked out alone.
The Ge family had sent their youngest son. Ken Swanson was at a disadvantage when he went out to receive him personally.
Ken Swanson thought about it and agreed. He did not follow them out.
In the living room.
“Grandma Mr. Swanson.” Ge Xiaoshan stood up from his chair and bowed politely to her.
Melody Fox nodded slightly and did not show excessive enthusiasm.
“Please sit down.”
“Thank you, Granny Mr. Swanson…” Ge Xiaoshan thanked her while sizing up Melody Fox. He could not hide the shock in his eyes.
Before he came over, Ge Dashan had specially told him that although this Granny Mr. Swanson had a good temperament, she was not very good-looking.
However, he did not expect her to be so unattractive.
He tried his best to suppress his shock and explained his purpose for coming.
“I’m here today to thank you for what you did for our Ge family at the cocktail party last night. It’s just that my father hasn’t recovered yet, so I can’t come over personally to thank you, but he specially instructed me to bring more gifts. Please forgive me, Grandma Mr. Swanson.”
Melody Fox grunted and glanced at the gift Ge Xiaoshan brought.
There were indeed many gifts and they were very expensive. Just by looking at the types, one could tell that they did not spend much effort to buy them. There were also some supplements that only the elderly needed.
It could be seen that Ge Xiaoshan’s trip here was just a formality.
“Mr. Ge, you don’t have to be so polite. I told you last night that as a doctor, it’s my duty to save Old Ge. However, I still have something to do later, so I won’t ask you to stay for dinner.”
Ge Xiaoshan could sense the alienation in Melody Fox’s politeness. He also guessed that Melody Fox knew that he was just here to go through the motions.
He stood up tactfully and said, “I understand, I understand.
Then you can go ahead with your work. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Take care. Aaron Berg, send Mr. Ge off.”
“Yes, Mr. Ge. Please.”
Ge Xiaoshan nodded and was about to walk to the door when Melody Fox suddenly spoke again, “Mr. Ge, are you sure you have nothing else to say to me?”
Ge Xiaoshan stopped in his tracks and felt the oppression in Melody Fox’s tone.
The other party was clearly much younger than him, but the cold sweat on his forehead still flowed down unconsciously.
What a powerful aura!
He forced himself to remain calm and simply said, “The Ge family will remember Grandma Mr. Swanson’s kindness. It’s just that my father is old and there are many things that he can’t do…”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and said, “I understand what you mean. Send the guest out.”
“Yes! Mr. Ge, this way please…”
Ge Xiaoshan opened his mouth but did not say anything else. He quickly left.
As soon as Ge Xiaoshan left, Ken Swanson walked out of the bedroom.
He had heard their conversation just now.
“Looks like Ge Pingchuan is afraid.”
