Conspiracy

It was precisely because Quan Yue knew these things that I became even more satisfied with Jiang Jun.

Only a person of such pure and kind nature could he confidently take in as the family's shipbuilder.

After declining Quan Yue's invitation, Jiang Jun nervously watched Quan Yue's expression, but Quan Yue's expression immediately became unreadable.

This left Jiang Jun unable to decipher Quan Yue's expression.

Quan Yue suddenly stood up and walked to the desk behind him.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed some letters from the desk, returned, and handed the letters to Jiang Jun.

"What is this?" Jiang Jun asked, taking the letter with a puzzled look.

"This is some information I stumbled upon while investigating Su Li."

Among them are things related to you; you can take a look.

Jiang Jun was completely bewildered, but he still lowered his head and began to peruse the letter.

At first, Jiang Jun didn't take it seriously, but gradually, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

A few minutes later, Jiang Jun, having finished reading the letter, could no longer contain himself. He slammed the letter on the table and roared, "Outrageous! This Su Li is utterly inhuman!"

The information in the letter was specific details about Su Li over the past month.

It was discovered by Quan Yue's investigators during a secret investigation that lasted for more than a month.

For the past month, apart from a few places he frequents, Su Li has often been visiting three obscure, niche herbal medicine shops.

Although it was impossible to observe Su Li closely because he possessed the cultivation level of Soul King, after he left, the Quan Family's intelligence personnel spent a little money to learn that Su Li often purchased certain rare medicinal herbs.

Moreover, the medicinal herbs purchased from each herbal medicine shop are different.

Intrigued by this, Quan Yue sent someone to inquire about the physician's information after learning of it.

As a result, they learned that these three herbs, taken individually, were harmless to the human body, but if they were boiled together, they would become a slow-acting poison that was difficult to detect.

After learning about this, Quan Yue, combined with the information that the Old Factory Director's health was deteriorating, instantly understood Su Li's vicious intentions.

Killing one's teacher.

This guy obviously did this in order to kill his master and quickly inherit the factory management position.

"As the person closest to the Old Factory Director, I think you should know the most about Old Factory Director health condition."

Then Quan Yue handed a small ceramic bottle to Jiang Jun.

"This contains the antidote that I had a doctor prepare. As long as you avoid ingesting any more poison, just one pill a day for half a month should be enough to eliminate the Toxin from your body. You can take it back and give it to the Old Factory Director."

Jiang Jun took the bottle from Quan Yue and thanked him loudly, "Thank you so much, sir. I have no way to repay such a great kindness. Please wait until I return and resolve this matter before I come back to thank you again."

After saying that, Jiang Jun turned to leave.

Quan Yue quickly asked, "Mr. Jiang, don't you have any doubts about the properties of this medicine?"

Jiang Jun acted too quickly, without even suspecting Quan Yue.

Clearly, Jiang Jun himself had also vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Jiang Jun stopped and turned around, saying, "I believe that someone of your status would not deceive a powerless nobody like me without reason."

Moreover, to be honest, I had my suspicions before, especially since Su Li had been visiting Master far too frequently this past month. I originally thought he was coming to see Master before his abdication, but I never expected this."

The Old Factory Director is eighty years old, but as a Spirit Saint- level Tool Soul Master, his physical strength is no less than that of an average middle-aged person.

But starting ten years ago, the Old Factory Director would occasionally catch a minor cold.

Although these minor illnesses healed quickly, the Old Factory Director's physical and mental condition deteriorated significantly afterward.

At the time, everyone thought that it was because the Old Factory Director was too old and overworked.

However, it turned out that Su Li had poisoned him.

Seeing how much Jiang Jun trusted him, Quan Yue became even more satisfied with Jiang Jun.

"Since you trust me so much, I'll reveal some more information to you. Previously, Su Li would purchase medication once a month."

However, Su Li made frequent purchases during that month, which was clearly premeditated.

So remember to be careful when you get back.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun turned around and bowed solemnly to Quan Yue. Then, with a heavy expression, he walked out of the study.

Jiang Jun felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Quan Yue's reminder.

The frequency suddenly increased this month, obviously because Su Li wanted to get rid of the Old Factory Director as soon as possible.

But why did he suddenly increase the frequency?

Jiang Jun had a vague answer in his heart.

Su Li is likely wary of Jiang Jun, wary that he might repeat the same soliciting behavior he did a month ago.

As Jiang Jun grew older, Su Li's pressure on Jiang Jun intensified.

However, this suppression won't last long. In a few years, Jiang Jun will eventually have to take clients again.

If Jiang Jun hadn't refrained from complaining to the Old Factory Director out of consideration for their shared mentorship, he would have been qualified to entertain guests from the moment Jiang Jun was appointed as the Vice Captain.

Jiang Jun's retreat emboldened Su Li to become even more reckless.

However, this time it concerned his master's life, and Jiang Jun decided not to back down again.

Jiang Jun walked out of the room with a determined look in his eyes, got into a carriage, and sped towards the Shipyard.

It's only just past noon, and at this time, the Old Factory Director is still at the Shipyard.

Inside the study, Quan Yue calmly sipped his tea.

"The rest is up to you, Ling Er."

Quan Yue turned to look out the window, gazing at the seaside scenery, and murmured to himself.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Jun's carriage sped to the Shipyard.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Jun forced himself to maintain a normal expression and walked into the factory as usual.

Although his heart was pounding, Jiang Jun tried his best to keep his steps steady.

Upon entering the factory, he headed straight for the factory director's office, which was the time when the Old Factory Director was having lunch.

This was also the time when Su Li frequently visited the Old Factory Director.

"Clang clang!"

Jiang Jun took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the factory director's office.

"Please come in."

An aged voice came from inside the room.

Jiang Jun pushed open the door and entered the room, but when he saw that chilling figure inside, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Master, Senior Brother Su, I've arrived."

Jiang Jun suppressed his emotions and asked as usual.

"Xiao Jun, why are you back so quickly? Weren't you invited to the Inner City today?"

The Old Factory Director asked Jiang Jun with some doubt.

"Oh? The Inner City? When did you get to know such an important person, junior brother? How come I didn't know?"

Upon hearing the Old Factory Director's words, Su Li's eyes darkened, but he skillfully avoided the Old Factory Director's gaze.

When Su Li asked, the Old Factory Director laughed proudly and said, "Your junior brother has really made something of himself. He was invited to the Inner City this time, which is very likely because his skills have caught their eye."

Haha, I knew this guy wouldn't let me down.

Cough cough cough!
