Chapter 201: Chapter 202: Hand Over the Prescription and the Whereabouts of Those Pharmaceutical Workers

Upon hearing it was something important, Qi Yue actually became a bit curious.

“What’s the important matter?”

“It’s like this, my dear sister, you’re cooperating with Shen Family’s eldest son, but now his authority as head of the family has been usurped by the Shen Family’s third son. Does this mean you have to cooperate with the Shen Family now?”

“What do you think?” Qi Yue asked with interest, looking at Qu Wei, “Do you think I should cooperate with the third son of the Shen Family?”

“Cooperate my ass!” Qu Wei suddenly shook his fan excitedly, his expression turning somewhat fierce.

“If you ask me, just get rid of both the Shen Family’s third and second sons, take the eldest son for our own use, and have him honestly make money for us… that’ll be the end of it.”

“Ha, big brother, your stratagem is truly brilliant!” Qi Yue sighed repeatedly and even gave him a thumbs-up.

“Just in time, you lost the bet, so this task is yours to handle!”

With that, she quickly entered her room and with a “bang,” closed the door, no longer paying attention to Qu Wei’s shouting from outside.

What kind of thinking is that!

Take out the Shen Family’s second and third sons?

Does he think I’m an enforcer?

I’m someone who relies on brains!

As soon as Qi Yue entered the space and saw the two rhinos, one big and one small, she instantly forgot all her troubles.

“Xiaobai, Little Bai Yun!”

At her call, the two white rhinos eagerly ran over.

One small one circled around her feet.

The other, even taller than her, extended its soft tongue to lick her hand.

Qi Yue knew they were almost starving.

Lately, these two had become picky eaters; no longer fond of the apples in the space, they had developed a preference for sweet corn!

And it had to be cooked!

Luckily, she had the Space-Time Mall and an endless supply of antiques to sell. Her space-time coin balance was through the roof; otherwise, who could afford to raise these two creatures?

After petting Xiaobai’s back and head for a while, she picked up Little Bai Yun and went to the kitchen to boil corn.

She quickly cooked a large pot, taking the corn out to the streamside in two batches. Only then did Qi Yue sit down to rest.

As Xiaobai and Little Bai Yun munched on the corn, they would occasionally “moo” at her, their gentle, soft eyes making Qi Yue’s heart melt.

It had been almost half a year since Xiaobai had willingly offered up its horn which shimmered with gold; the new horn had barely grown in, still a translucent white threaded with red, not nearly as splendid as Little Bai Yun’s smaller golden horn.

This proved just how precious the horn was; once given, it was a severe loss to the white rhino.

Qi Yue sighed, moved forward to embrace Xiaobai, and cuddled with it for a while.

Xiaobai seemed to sense her distress and mooed softly a few times as if to say, it’s okay.

“Silly Xiaobai, what do you know!” Qi Yue murmured.

Seeing its lost horn, she thought of Zhao Xiyan.

The man she had used all her strength to save, what was he doing now?

She had been in Dongjiang for almost two months; was his grandfather’s funeral still not over? He hadn’t sent any word at all, even though he had said he would accompany her to Dongjiang!

She then snapped back to reality.

Even if it was over, what about that woman named Ruyan?

Did they get married?

It wasn’t necessary for a grandson of age to mourn when a grandfather reaches a venerable old age; they could proceed with marriage as usual.

They probably would get married, right?

Qi Yue pressed against her aching heart, forcing herself to calm down and slowly pushing the image of Zhao Xiyan out of her mind.

When she returned to the study, she became like a different person entirely.

Swift, cold.@@novelbin@@

First, she checked the antique shop’s business situation on the computer. Seeing a few more zeroes in her space-time coin balance, she immediately put a few more items up for sale. She ordered nearly a hundred tons of rice, setting the delivery to her warehouse, and then began to unpack deliveries.

Unboxing was usually a relaxing activity, but for Qi Yue, it served as a distraction, allowing her thoughts to completely clear.

As she put away the items she had bought in their proper places, she also found the answer she was looking for in her mind.

By itself, the Ma Family wasn’t strong enough to shake the foundation of Dongjiang Pharmaceutical; above it all was a larger hand controlling everything.

Thinking this way, that controlling hand seemed almost within reach.

But Qi Yue was still somewhat unsure.

Murong Mingyue’s greatest pleasure was to drink tea and eat duck, and when idle, he would stroll around, chatting amiably with farmers he didn’t recognize.

Could such a person really be the mastermind behind the whole affair?

If so, when had it all begun?

Was it before his collaboration with Shen Zikuang, after, or did he just intervene midway and go with the flow?

What did he want to achieve?

He was already the Marquis of Jiangyang, the Governor of Dongjiang, did he also aspire to the title of Dongjiang’s richest man?

However, since Murong Mingyue dared to scheme against her, she wouldn’t blame herself for not being polite.

She could save him, and just as silently, she could make sure he died.

Just as she was contemplating whether to explore the Governor’s Office at night, she heard a knock at the door.

Knock knock…

“Sister, sister, quickly open the door, big brother has something urgent to tell you!”

Qi Yue furrowed her brows.

The “urgent matters” coming from her big brother were most likely outdated!

Nevertheless, she exited the Space-Time Mall and opened the door to welcome the visitor.

“What’s your urgent matter this time?”

Qu Wei chuckled and flourished his fan.

“Sister, I was wrong before. We shouldn’t lay our hands on Shen Family’s second and third child. It’s better to let them bring about their own downfall without a trace.”

Qi Yue huffed with laughter and took a seat at the table, unperturbed.

“It took you long enough to come to that realization. What else is there? I hope it’s not another trivial ‘urgent matter’?”

Folding his fan with a whoosh, Qu Wei also sat down beside the table, smiling, “You absolutely haven’t thought of this matter.”

Qi Yue took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “I’m all ears.”

“Sister, I think we can’t just let the Shen Family sell those finished medicines as they please. We should find a way to snatch them. Moreover, those pharmaceutical workers must be controlled. If someone with ill intentions were to capture them all and force the answers out of them, all our formulas could be leaked…”

Qu Wei spoke with smug satisfaction, waiting for Qi Yue’s praise, only to see her smiling silently.

All of a sudden, he was filled with a bad premonition, his hands too tense to even flick his fan.

“Sister, you hadn’t already thought of this, had you?!”

Qi Yue uttered an “Mhm,” her expression serene.

“The day Shen Zikuang woke up, I arranged this matter. The finished medicines sold by the Shen Family pharmacy might as well serve to build our reputation.”

“What?” Qu Wei was taken aback.

He rubbed his head, taking a while before he could find the words to speak.

“Then isn’t big brother quite useless?”

Qi Yue was just about to say that he had some self-awareness, but seeing his dejected face, she consoled him instead.

“You can’t be considered very useless. At least the information you gathered last time was somewhat useful. Also, could you look into what connects the Ma Family with the Murong Family?”

At these words, Qu Wei instantly perked up.

“Alright, leave it to your big brother.”

Watching Qu Wei hurry away, Qi Yue shook her head silently.

When he was in Nanling, wasn’t he quite imposing and powerful? How had his style changed so much?

Meanwhile, at the Shen Family compound.

Shen Wanzhen visited Shen Zikuang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, but this time, he also brought his two younger sons along.

Shen Zikuang no longer harbored much hope for his father, but after calling him “Dad” for so many years, a part of him still held some expectation.

“Dad.”

Shen Wanzhen examined him from head to toe, “Kuangkuang, how are you feeling now?”

This was the first time he had heard a caring inquiry from his own father after such a long time of being injured, and Shen Zikuang’s heart softened. He hurriedly replied, “Dad, you don’t have to worry, the Divine Doctor from the Qi Family said it won’t be long before I can walk again.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanzhen displayed an excited expression, turning his head to look at his beloved younger sons.

“The medical skills of the Qi Family’s young miss are truly extraordinary. Your brother was so severely injured, yet she still found a way!”

Then, Shen Wanzhen turned back to Shen Zikuang.

“Kuangkuang, father doesn’t necessarily want to drive you out of the Shen Family. As long as you are willing to hand over the medicinal recipes and the whereabouts of those pharmaceutical workers, you will still be my son, Shen Wanzhen! Think about it carefully.”
