Chapter 129 - Seizure of the Qu Group

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

That night, the relevant department that received a report acted immediately.

They used the fastest speed to seize the pharmaceutical department of the Qu Group and took all the relevant documents away as evidence.

Qu Xiao received a summon from the relevant department and rushed there overnight to be questioned.

Shang Yan drove her to the designated location. He originally wanted to accompany Qu Xiao in, but the staff blocked him outside and said with a serious expression, “I’m sorry. Those who have nothing to do with this case, please wait outside. Don’t affect our work.”

Qu Xiao turned around and squeezed out a comforting smile. She said softly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

Shang Yan watched as Qu Xiao’s figure gradually blended into the darkness. A wave of panic and uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

In the enclosed room, a few recording cameras were aimed at Qu Xiao.

A staff member in uniform was tapping on the computer keyboard to transcribe. They compared Qu Xiao with their information and asked in a cold tone, “You personally promoted the research and development of the Qu Group’s new drug. Are you aware that there are serious side effects during drug development and that the new drug does not meet the relevant market regulations?”

Qu Xiao frowned. She replied carefully, “I was not aware of it.”

“The drug’s research and development is under the control of the pharmaceutical department. I will judge whether it should continue based on the process report they submitted.”

“Based on the information I received, the research and development of the new drug comply with the regulations. It was only applied for listing after clinical trials and with a more than 80% cure rate. You can find this evidential information in my email and the backup files of the corporate affairs.”

Qu Xiao said these words with certainty. There was not the slightest hint of panic on her face. She was frank and confident that even the investigators were surprised.

They had indeed conducted relevant investigations on the Qu Group. Just as Qu Xiao had said, all the processes were legal. There was no collusion of interests involved. However, there was indeed a problem with the drug testing. What exactly was the problem?

The staff member lightly tapped on the transcript and asked, “Do you think this is a premeditated frame-up?”

The staff member handling the Qu Group’s case was an extremely experienced old employee. When he finished probing, Qu Xiao frowned slightly. Recalling the connection between Qu Zhen and the Qu family, she lowered her eyes. She thought before speaking, “I hope you can start your investigation from Qu Zhen’s interpersonal relationship.”

“Perhaps you can find some other clues.”

The staff member nodded his head in gratitude and sent someone to send Qu Xiao out.

In the darkness, Shang Yan stood quietly at the door. He stood in the cold weather for as long as Qu Xiao was questioned. His thick woolen coat was stained with ice crystals. When he saw Qu Xiao, he strode over and tightly hugged the woman in his arms.

Qu Xiao gently patted Shang Yan’s shoulder and raised the corners of her lips. Instead, she comforted him, “We have to believe them.”

“The Qu Group is innocent and was framed by someone. The truth may be late, but it can never be hidden.”

Qu Xiao held Shang Yan’s hand and strolled in the night. The two of them felt the warmth in each other’s palms and did not speak.

Late at night, in the bedroom of the Shang family’s villa, Qu Xiao dragged her exhausted body onto the bed. She closed her eyes and was ready to recall every little thing that happened during the development of the new drug, trying to find the crux of the problem. But in the next second, the man beside her lifted the blanket and held her in his arms.

Shang Yan’s hot body pressed tightly against Qu Xiao. He kissed Qu Xiao’s neck again and again.

The scorching and lingering kiss made Qu Xiao’s body go weak. She felt Shang Yan’s unease and took the initiative to reach down to caress the erecting object. Shang Yan pressed his thin lips against where Qu Xiao’s heart was. He frowned and kissed her gently. “Compared to you being in trouble, I’d rather the one in danger to be…”

“How can you be so selfish?”

Qu Xiao hugged Shang Yan’s head and whispered, “Those left behind will always suffer the most. You’re not allowed to speak nonsense!”

Shang Yan did not answer. Instead, he hugged Qu Xiao’s waist tightly. His kiss moved downwards to her secret garden, which had already been aroused. He used the tip of his tongue to squeeze into the warm tunnel and comforted Qu Xiao’s body in a fawning manner.

“I love you.”

Shang Yan whispered into Qu Xiao’s ear when he inserted his object into her body.

On the day of the incident, Shang Yan suddenly understood that his love for Qu Xiao had already been carved into his bone marrow and fused into his blood.

Qu Xiao raised her neck and narrowed her eyes as she moaned softly until Shang Yan had shot all of his burning secretions into her body.

[The Qu Group has been searched. Qu Xiao has been taken away by the relevant department for investigation but left very quickly…]

The news spread crazily in the financial circle. Compared to the calmness of the Shang family and Qu Xiao, Ling Chi and Qu Qi could not sit still at this moment.

Qu Zhen finally found the problem as she reviewed the entire process of developing the new drug. She grabbed her bag and went to Ling Chi’s house, slapping the door heavily. Ling Chi pushed the door open with a worn look. The moment their eyes met, Qu Zhen knew the truth.

“So, you’ve been using me? Using me to take revenge on Qu Xiao?”

Qu Zhen’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “Have you ever thought that I have to take responsibility for the new drug’s problems?”
