Finally, the negotiation ended. Lin Shiren conceded, and Old Mrs. Lin agreed to all the conditions proposed by Long Xiao. She also promised that as long as Lin Xuan could ensure the normal development of the Lin Group, she would not dismiss Lin Xuan from her position.
After the Lin Shiren family and Old Mrs. Lin left, Nangong Yue, with a fawning smile, looked at Lin Xuan and said, "This is my good daughter. Work hard, and remember that the bank card for expenses is still with me for safekeeping."
Lin Xuan, with a dark expression, ignored her greedy mother and went to Lin Shijie's bedside.
Lin Shijie only had external injuries, so Long Xiao did not intervene to help him.
The next morning, Lin Xuan arrived at the Lin Group to start working. She had to deal with the problems facing Lin's Pharmaceutical as quickly as possible, otherwise, it would be harder to resolve once the issues escalated.
Long Xiao was also in Lin Xuan's car. He knew the situation was serious and was worried that Lin Xuan might encounter trouble.
Before they even reached the Lin Group headquarters, they received a call from Shao Yu, Lin Xuan's former secretary. Shao Yu informed Lin Xuan that the Lin Group headquarters building was being besieged by hundreds of people and strongly advised her not to go to the headquarters.
The Lin Group had rented three floors in the Golden Building. The area in front of the Golden Building was in chaos. Hundreds of people were holding banners, accusing the Lin Group of disregarding human life and demanding that they hand over the culprit and compensate for their losses.
Yesterday, Long Xiao had already treated the patients. Today, he planned to have the Lin Group send people to various hospitals to investigate. For anyone who suffered adverse effects from taking 'Tong Mai San', the medical expenses would be covered by the Lin Group.
With the headquarters surrounded, Long Xiao parked the car three hundred meters away from the Golden Building. He observed the situation and asked Lin Xuan to call and arrange for people to go to the hospital.
"Long Xiao, are we still going into the Lin Group headquarters?" Lin Xuan asked, looking at the crowd surrounding the Golden Building.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, we have to go in. If these people just want money, we'll satisfy them, and they'll leave. If someone is orchestrating this behind the scenes, we can expose them."
He started the car again and drove towards the parking lot in front of the Golden Building. After parking the car, they walked towards the crowd.
"Disregarding human life, give us justice."
"Poison harms people, give us back our lives."
As people were shouting slogans, Long Xiao parted the crowd and ascended the steps in front of the Golden Building. He then turned to face the crowd.
"Everyone, please stop shouting. I am the representative of the Lin Group and will be responsible for this matter."
Seeing a young boy, some people shouted, "You're barely out of diapers, how can you be responsible?"
"Get lost, let the CEO of Lin Group come out."
"Let the manager of Lin's Pharmaceutical come out."
"Silence."
Long Xiao channeled his dantian energy and let out a roar. Everyone felt as if thunder had struck, deafening them.
All sounds ceased. The people surrounding the building looked on with shock in their eyes.
"Whose money did you take to besiege the Lin Group? Can anyone tell me?"
"No, we didn't take anyone's money," someone shouted.
"You didn't take it, but that doesn't mean others didn't. I tell you, I was at the hospital all yesterday. For all the people who had problems after taking 'Tong Mai San', I gave them my specially made pills, and they have all recovered."
The patients were no longer in danger. Continuing the commotion would be unreasonable. Everyone looked towards the two leaders.
"Nonsense, the people who took the medicine are almost dead now."
"You're the one talking nonsense. The patients' families can call them now and know the situation immediately."
The patients' families began calling the people at the hospital. Long Xiao scanned the crowd below and quickly identified ten young people who were not making calls.
"I'll go and bring their leaders here," Long Xiao whispered.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Be careful."
Long Xiao moved with lightning speed. No one saw how he acted before a young man was brought back to his original spot, held by him.
"Tell everyone who sent you," Long Xiao asked sternly.
"No one sent me, I am a patient's family member."
"Tell me, which patient are you related to? Which hospital is the patient in, and what is their name?"
"I, I am."
"I have contacted the three hospitals that admitted patients who took 'Tong Mai San'. If you tell me the name, I can verify it immediately."
"It's none of your business, you have no right to ask me," the person held by Long Xiao started acting shamelessly.
Long Xiao gradually tightened his grip. The person he held let out a scream.
"You'd better tell the truth. Accusation is a serious crime and punishable by law. Don't think our Lin Group is easy to bully; we will sue you."
"Sue me, hehe. Our Bao family is not something a second-rate family like yours can provoke. If you know what's good for you, let me go, or you'll be in big trouble."
Hearing the person he held say they were from the Bao family, Long Xiao released his grip and said, "Alright, you can leave. Our Lin family indeed cannot afford to provoke the Bao family."
The person who was caught, seeing that Long Xiao had let him go, said triumphantly, "You're smart. Otherwise, I'd make you regret it."
Watching the person he had just apprehended walk down the steps, Long Xiao loudly announced, "Everyone heard it. The one who brought you here to cause trouble was sent by Bao Erhu. Our Lin Group is also a victim. We were all deceived by Bao Erhu and Xing Kou Wu Lang."
Long Xiao shifted the responsibility of Xing Kou Wu Lang's collaboration with Lin's Pharmaceutical entirely onto Bao Erhu. He informed everyone present that the reason the Lin Group collaborated with Xing Kou Wu Lang was that Bao Erhu was the recommender.
The matter was essentially clarified. Xing Kou Wu Lang, in order to experiment with new drugs and eliminate their toxic side effects, had used the prescription to deceive Chinese pharmaceutical companies into producing them and to use Chinese people as test subjects.
Long Xiao's words caused everyone present to start denouncing Xing Kou Wu Lang. Some suggested going to the Bao family to confront Xing Kou Wu Lang and hold him responsible for the matter.
The Bao family, realizing their scheme was exposed, quietly retreated from the crowd, fearing Long Xiao's actions.
The crowd soon dispersed. Long Xiao smiled and said, "Lin Xuan, you go to the office. I'll go to the Bao family to have a look."
"Are you going to find Xing Kou Wu Lang?" Lin Xuan asked.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, we absolutely cannot let him off easily."
"He's at the Bao family's. How will you get in?" Lin Xuan asked.
Long Xiao, still with a smile, replied, "I don't need to go in, I'll wait for him outside. The medical authorities might go to the Bao family to find Xing Kou Wu Lang after these people left. I believe the Bao family will quickly send Xing Kou Wu Lang away."
Lin Xuan held Long Xiao's hand and said, "Long Xiao, be careful."
Long Xiao took the opportunity to hug Lin Xuan and said, "Don't worry, my dear wife. No one can do anything to me."
Watching Long Xiao's retreating back, Lin Xuan felt a rare sense of security, as if with Long Xiao around, even if the sky fell, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Long Xiao did not go directly to the Bao family. He first called Ji Yuelan to inquire about the interrogation of several Japanese individuals.
The nine Japanese people arrested were all pharmaceutical elites from Xing Kou Corporation, including a virus expert and a pharmaceutical expert. Their leader, Song Xiaotian Qiu, was an internationally renowned pharmaceutical expert with patents for over a dozen new traditional Chinese medicine formulas.
Killing these individuals would have too great an impact, but Long Xiao did not want to let them go. After careful consideration, Long Xiao decided to use a mind control technique he had recently learned from the 'Dragon Scripture' to plant seeds of obedience in their subconscious.
