The matter concerning the Ji family was resolved smoothly. Two days later, some of Ji Tianxiong's subordinates returned to the country and quickly began reorganizing the Ji family. The Ji family's companies were brought under the control of Ji Tianxiong and those loyal to Ji Yinghui.
Jingkou Gorō, constantly worried about his safety, stayed at the Ji family's residence for two days. Afterward, he took some documents and went to Xinglin Caotang to find Long Xiao.
Long Xiao was busy checking on the cancer patients in the backyard. He asked Xiao Ming to escort Jingkou Gorō to the waiting room in the front yard.
Jingkou Gorō knew Xiao Ming was close to Long Xiao and was aware of his capabilities.
As soon as the two entered the room, Jingkou Gorō placed the documents in his hand on the table and pulled out a bank card from his pocket.
"Master Xiao Ming, a small token of my appreciation, nothing significant," Jingkou Gorō said with a smile, handing the bank card to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming feigned a dignified demeanor and said, "What are you doing? I am a person of principle and cannot accept gifts casually."
Jingkou Gorō smiled and tucked the card into Xiao Ming's backpack, saying, "One million yuan isn't much of a gift; it's just enough to buy some snacks."
"If that's the case, then I'll accept it," Xiao Ming said, nodding with a stern face.
The two waited in the room for a while. Long Xiao pushed open the door and entered. Jingkou Gorō immediately stood up.
"Sit down, Gorō. We're all familiar here, so don't be so formal."
Jingkou Gorō leaned forward and said with a smile, "Brother Long, these are documents related to Jingkou Pharmaceuticals' investments in some pharmaceutical companies in Donghai. Jingkou Pharmaceuticals has no plans to expand in Donghai anymore, so these are useless to us, and I've brought them over."
There were ten pharmaceutical factories, two medical equipment factories, three hospitals, and one large pharmaceutical company that cooperated with Jingkou Pharmaceuticals.
Jingkou Pharmaceuticals had heavily invested in these enterprises, with its shares exceeding fifty percent in all of them, making it the de facto controlling shareholder.
Long Xiao looked at the documents and asked curiously, "Gorō, you've invested so much, don't you want to reclaim some of it?"
Jingkou Gorō shook his head and said, "We don't want to reclaim them. Jingkou Pharmaceuticals has offended you, Brother Long, so consider these as an apology."
Long Xiao hesitated. If he accepted benefits from a Japanese company, would he have to help them in the future? Long Xiao had always had a poor impression of Japanese people and did not wish to interact with them too much.
Just as Long Xiao was about to refuse, Xiao Ming said, "Brother Long, look at Jingkou Gorō's sincerity. Please accept it. I believe this is his personal intention and has little to do with Jingkou Pharmaceuticals."
Jingkou Gorō nodded eagerly. "Yes, Brother Long, this is what I personally want to give you. My father doesn't know about this yet."
Long Xiao picked up the documents again and examined them. "Alright, I'll accept all these shares. I will do my best to help you inherit Jingkou Pharmaceuticals."
"Thank you so much, Brother Long. Once I inherit Jingkou Pharmaceuticals, I will definitely cooperate fully with you and help you sell Xuanxiao Group's medicines all over the world."
Seeing that Long Xiao had agreed, Jingkou Gorō called Jingkou Pharmaceuticals' lawyer in Donghai. After the lawyer arrived, the share transfer agreements were drafted and signed by both parties in a short time.
From the share transfer agreements, Long Xiao took out the agreements for the two Lin family pharmaceutical factories. After carefully reviewing them, he said, "Xiao Ming, let's go to Xuanxiao Company and find my wife."
After sending Jingkou Gorō off, Long Xiao took Xiao Ming to the Xuanxiao Group building.
Lin Xuan was busy in her office when Long Xiao walked in with a pile of documents, a smile on his face.
"Was the agreement signed?" Lin Xuan asked.
"What agreement?" Long Xiao asked, confused.
Lin Xuan looked up and, seeing it was Long Xiao, stood up happily. "Long Xiao, you're here! I thought it was Yang Xiaoyue."
"Yang Xiaoyue? What agreement is she signing?" Long Xiao asked.
Lin Xuan explained to Long Xiao that Yang Xiaoyue had found three cooperating pharmaceutical factories and planned to have them all produce 'Taihe Weishu'.
The sales of 'Taihe Weishu' were becoming increasingly popular. The most crucial task for Xuanxiao Group daily was to find partners and expand production.
Long Xiao placed the documents in his hand on Lin Xuan's desk. "Take a look at this first."
After flipping through the documents, Lin Xuan jumped for joy and hugged Long Xiao.
"That's great, Long Xiao! We have ten more pharmaceutical factories now. I won't have to worry anymore."
Long Xiao nodded. "This time, you can worry about sales. When the market is nearly saturated, we'll control production and stabilize it."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Yes, when necessary, we must control production and leave room for other manufacturers of stomach medicine to survive."
Long Xiao picked up the two agreements from the Lin family and said, "Lin Xuan, tomorrow I'll go with you to take over these two pharmaceutical factories. I'd like to see how long Lin Xin can remain the CEO of Lin's."
In order to gain more shares in the cooperation with Jingkou Pharmaceuticals, the Lin Group had injected almost all of its liquid capital into these two pharmaceutical factories.
Since Jingkou Pharmaceuticals had not taken over these two factories, the Lin Group had been continuously misappropriating their funds.
Tomorrow, when Lin Xuan sends people to take over the two Lin family pharmaceutical factories, the capital chain of the Lin Group's other enterprises will break, and the Lin Group will go bankrupt.
"Long Xiao, are you planning to make the Lin Group bankrupt with this operation?" Lin Xuan asked.
Long Xiao nodded. "Yes, I want the Lin Group to go bankrupt. Then we'll acquire the Lin Group and have Lin Hao become the CEO. From then on, the Lin Group will have nothing to do with Lin Xin's family."
"Long Xiao, have you considered Grandpa's feelings?" Lin Xuan asked.
"The restructured Lin Group can still be returned to Grandpa, but it cannot be given to Lin Xin's family again."
Lin Xuan thought for a moment. "Long Xiao, I think it would be best to discuss this with Grandpa tonight before making a decision."
Long Xiao nodded. "Okay, I'll follow my wife's arrangement. Call me if you need any help."
Returning to Xinglin Caotang, just as Long Xiao was about to go to Tong Hui's clinic to help, he saw Xue Meiqin running out of the backyard in a panic.
"Boss, something's wrong, someone's been poisoned!" Xue Meiqin hadn't run far before she collapsed on the ground.
Long Xiao quickly walked over and helped Xue Meiqin up. A surge of life energy entered her body, and he discovered her lungs were wrapped in a mass of dark energy that was rapidly spreading.
This was clearly a poisoning symptom. Long Xiao quickly took out an antidote from his pocket and put it into Xue Meiqin's mouth.
"Xiao Ming, take Meiqin back to her room and get some antidote pills from the pharmacy to the backyard."
With that, Long Xiao hurried to the backyard. As soon as he pushed the door open, he smelled a strange fragrance.
The life energy within his body began to stir. Long Xiao quickly suppressed it.
He hadn't taken a few steps before he felt dizzy. He staggered to the door of the first ward and collapsed onto the ground.
Xiao Ming, carrying a box of antidote pills, quickly ran towards the backyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Long Xiao lying on the ground, with A'lin and Lu Tian standing beside him.
"You... you poisoned Brother Long?" Xiao Ming exclaimed, backing away a few steps, the box in his hand almost dropping.
Lu Tian heard Xiao Ming's voice and turned to look at him. "We were just looking for you, and here you are. That saves us some trouble."
