Chapter 180 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (17)

The ward was silent. Pei Jinxiu saw that Cang Lan had no intention of leaving, and he became extremely anxious. After all, such a big thing had happened in the suburbs, and he had to find a reliable person to destroy the evidence there as soon as possible. But Lao Qin had betrayed him, and he didn't know what had happened to Wen Dong and Wen Sheng. He had lost three of his trusted confidants at once. In B City, he could say that he had almost no one he could trust.

How did Musian know about that place?

Pei Jinxiu was completely baffled. After much thought, the only possibility he could come up with was that Mu Si'an was following him, happened to witness Lao Qin's betrayal, and then used this incident to blackmail him into marrying her!

She still holds leverage over me, and he can't afford to offend her easily. If the drug trafficking is exposed, the Pei family will be completely finished.

His first priority is to win over Musi'an and bring her into his camp. Once he marries her, they'll be in the same boat.

Wait, what happened after he fainted?

Thinking this, Pei Jinxiu asked, "An'an, did anything else happen when we left?" After speaking, Pei Jinxiu carefully examined Cang Lan's expression.

"I'll carry you on my back and leave. I don't care about anyone else!" Cang Lan shrugged.

Seeing that Cang Lan showed no signs of lying, Pei Jinxiu said nothing more. He simply looked up at Cang Lan with a tender and affectionate expression, his eyes full of gentleness and love, and said softly, "An'an, don't worry, I promised you that I would agree to whatever you ask for."

No one will try to ruin our relationship anymore. I will handle all the trivial people and things properly.

Just when Pei Jinxiu thought that Mu Si'an would be moved by his words and then take the opportunity to ask him to marry her, and at the same time give him the antidote.

Cang Lan did not respond to Pei Jinxiu's words, but merely raised her eyes slightly to glance at him, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny and mockery.

What kind of pretentious sentimentality is this?! And you call that handling things properly? I'd like to see how you actually handle it!

Cang Lan smiled and said, "Jin Xiu, this is chicken soup I made especially for you. Try it!" With that, Cang Lan turned around, picked up the chicken soup from the table next to the sofa, opened the lid, and a rich aroma of chicken instantly filled the room.

Pei Jinxiu was already a little hungry, and the aroma made his stomach rumble even louder. He thought to himself narcissistically, "She must love me very much to use such fine ingredients to make this soup for me. It smells so good, it must have been simmering for a long time."

Pei Jinxiu: "An'an, you've worked so hard. This chicken soup smells so good, I'll definitely drink it all."

Canglan looked at him and sneered inwardly, "Drink, drink, drink until you're drunk to death."

Pei Jinxiu took the chicken soup and gulped it down.

After finishing his drink, Cang Lan said, "Alright, Jin Xiu, you should take good care of your injuries. I won't disturb your rest any longer." With that, he turned and left.

Pei Jinxiu felt much relieved after Cang Lan left and quickly reached for his phone to make a call. He then noticed several missed calls on his phone, with only one "CX" displayed as the initials of Cheng Xin's English name. He hurriedly dialed back.

When Cheng Xin, who was far away in the United States, saw Pei Jinxiu's call, she quickly answered and said anxiously, "Jinxiu, what's going on? Why can't I contact Lao Qin? I can't even contact Wen Dong. What happened?"

Pei Jinxiu sighed and selectively told Cheng Xin about the situation, only saying, "Old Qin has betrayed us. There's a problem in the suburbs of B City, and it can no longer be used. We need to distance ourselves from it as soon as possible. I will send people to destroy the evidence so that no one can trace it back to us."

"Old Qin has betrayed us, but what about Wen Sheng? He's the developer of a new type of drug, what happened to him?" Cheng Xin asked anxiously.

"I don't know. I fainted at the time, but I should still be alive."

Cheng Xin was shocked. "What? You're injured!"

Pei Jinxiu continued, "You don't need to worry about these things anymore. The most important thing now is to sever ties. You may need to return to China as soon as possible."

Cheng Xin was raised by Pei Jinxiu's father and grew up with Pei Jinxiu. She had always harbored feelings for Pei Jinxiu, so when he asked her to return to China, she agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing her reply, Pei Jinxiu said with satisfaction, "Cheng Xin, thank you."

"It's okay, Jin Xiu, I know you need me right now!" Then he hung up the phone.

But as soon as he hung up the phone, Pei Jin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and could only hurriedly press the call button to ask the arranged caregiver to help him to the toilet.

That night, Pei Jinxiu tossed and turned between the toilet and the bed, his pain indescribable. One moment he was curled up on the bed clutching his stomach, the next he was rushing to the toilet as if his pants were on fire, leaving him completely exhausted from the diarrhea.

On the other side, Xiaobai was laughing so hard she was doubled over, her crisp electronic voice full of schadenfreude: [Hahaha, host, Pei Jinxiu really had diarrhea all night. Was that chicken soup that effective?]

Cang Lan lazily rolled over on the bed, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. She replied slowly, "That chicken soup is an artificial product, a mixture of various flavorings and chemicals. For a normal person, eating it might just cause a few bouts of diarrhea, nothing serious, so..."

Xiao Bai immediately realized what was going on and blurted out, "I know! As a domineering CEO, having a bad stomach is one of the standard features! His stomach definitely can't withstand the power of this motivational quote."

Cang Lan nodded slightly, with a hint of teasing: "You're right, you're a quick learner!"

……

Pei Jinxiu's leg was already injured by a bullet and he needed to rest properly. However, after running to the toilet all night, his leg could no longer take it. Now that his stomach was no longer hurting, his legs needed to be stitched up again due to overuse.

Therefore, for the next few days, all company affairs had to be handled by Assistant Liang.

As for the drug manufacturing and trafficking in the suburbs, Pei's mother could only handle it, but she did not reveal the part of Mu Si'an's involvement.

That evening, Pei Yazhi rushed to Pei Jinxiu's ward. "Jinxiu, I have asked Chen Ping to check the suburban factory. There is no one there, and there is nothing unusual about it. It's just like an ordinary pharmaceutical factory. The things that should have been there have all disappeared without a trace."

Pei Jinxiu's previously tired face instantly turned serious, his eyes filled with astonishment: "How is this possible? Clearly..."

"Don't worry. Chen Ping said that all the surveillance footage has been destroyed, and there's not a single trace left in the pharmaceutical factory. This might not be a bad thing."

It's possible that Wen Dong and his group destroyed everything during their evacuation, including surveillance footage and documents, which is why everything disappeared completely.
