Two days later
The Xu Family New Medicine was also exposed for a major scandal: they researched nationally protected wild animals, cruelly killing these animals and using them for research.
The International Animal Protection Association issued a strong condemnation, calling for a global boycott of the pharmaceutical company. This has undoubtedly escalated to the international level, and no matter how much influence the Xu Family exerts, it will be useless.
The Xu Family's stock price plummeted overnight, hitting rock bottom.
Those who do many bad things are indeed likely to be punished by heaven.
Luo Beishi scrolled through her phone, still savoring the moment. "Honey, how are things going with Uncle and the others?"
As Huo Cixiao held Luo Beishi in his arms, his head rested on his wife's shoulder as they watched the news together. "They've already identified the perpetrators. It wasn't just one person; it was a whole chain... To be precise, my uncle was betrayed by the entire team."
"Huh? A team, we've been together for so many years, how can they just betray us like that?"
Huo Cixiao: "The enemy gave us more."
Luo Beishi: "... They're not short of money, are they? As far as I know, almost all the PhDs at the research institute earn a million a month. And they also get patent fees and bonuses, so it should be quite substantial."
Huo Cixiao: "Some people are never satisfied."
Luo Beishi: "Well, it means they bought a luxury car worth ten million and want to own several more. But aren't they afraid of ruining their future?"
Huo Cixiao: "Everything involves risks, they've certainly considered that, but they're just hoping for the best."
"So how do we handle the rest? Since someone is taking the money, there must be an employer. Who is the employer?"
"The news you have, about the Xu Corporation." Huo Cixiao pretended not to know that his wife was also behind the Xu Family's affairs.
Luo Beishi shocked. "I guessed right again. Am I too smart? Sigh, it's all because the Xu Family was too obvious. Bribing one person is one thing, but they actually bribed an entire team! Don't they care about having too many people talking? They're really villains with absolutely no defenses."
He paused, then asked, "What about my uncle? Has he been released?"
Huo Cixiao: "No rush. Let him stand there a little longer, so he'll remember it better and won't keep getting fooled."
Luo Beishi chuckled, "Give me a break. You just want your uncle to cry even harder when he comes out. That's too cruel."
He hugged him tighter around the waist. "Tomorrow, we're going to the hot springs. Do you want to prepare anything?"
Luo Beishi felt a shiver run through his body from the alluring ending of that voice, "Prepare... prepare what?"
Huo Cixiao murmured, "Wife, are you trying to go back on your word? You promised me last night."
Luo Beishi felt like her whole body was being roasted, it was so hot. "Stop talking... and stop using such a clingy tone, I can't take it. You give up."
Huo Cixiao in the back of Luo Beishi's neck and chuckled again, his warm breath spraying onto the back of his neck, sending another shiver down Luo Beishi's spine.
" Tongtong, I'm about to die, I'm going to ascend to heaven~"
"Host, we're an old married couple, stop being so coy! If you're a man, just go for it!"
Luo Beishi felt like crying, "The key is the big boss... it's hard not to be afraid."
Pei Corporation Pharmaceutical has been running smoothly for years, which is frightening. So now that something has happened, the company has been holding numerous meetings and is extremely busy.
However, today, the scandal exposed against Xu Corporation has aroused public outrage. Overnight, Xu Corporation has become a pariah, hated by everyone, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.
The pharmacies under the Xu Corporation's control were shut down directly, with notices of suspension of business posted, indefinitely.
After two busy days, Pei Corporation was overjoyed to hear this wonderful news.
Looking at the Xu Family's affairs, the eldest aunt couldn't tell who was behind it for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized it shouldn't be A-Xiao, someone who likes to use public opinion to suppress others... It must be their nephew's wife, Luo Beishi's, doing it.
It's so frustrating! I've helped so much, but I still don't know what gift to give Beishi.
Just then, the female assistant's sweet voice suddenly rang out. "President!!! Our research institute is safe!"
My beautiful auntie sat in her office chair, put down her phone, and said, "Okay, let me give you a brief overview."
"But... actually, it's not all bad. The people in President Pei's team at the research institute betrayed him, maliciously framing him. Evidence has been found, and the mastermind has been identified—it's the assistant to the eldest son of the Xu Family. For details, please take a look at this document; it was sent by Chairman Huo."
"As expected of A-Xiao, are these two young lovers invincible? I owe them both favors at once, and they're even separate favors." The beauty curled her lips. "Find a lawyer to pick up your CEO Pei, tell him about today's news, and prepare two extra packs of tissues for him, as well as some saline solution."
When Xu Qing saw the news, he chuckled softly from an angle that Luo Bai didn't notice. His good older brother was still so silly.
"Dad, why is Luo Beishi so calm? I've been publicly calling him out for so long, and he hasn't responded at all. What does that mean?"
Xu Qing patted his head, his voice deep and resonant, "Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Try to avoid looking at things online."
Luo Bai thought to himself that his father was really calm and composed, and that everything he did made him feel very secure.
In the past, when he complained about Luo Beishi in front of Huo Cifeng, Huo Cifeng would occasionally reply with a few words.
But his father wouldn't. It seems his father is truly an upright person, unconcerned about others' opinions, and never ashamed of being the Xu Family's illegitimate son. He lives a very casual yet disciplined life. Recently, Xu Qing has been getting up at five or six o'clock every morning to exercise while staying here.
Luo Bai truly admired him.
He slowly withdrew his gaze from Xu Qing. "Alright, I'll listen to Dad."
Xu Qing gave him a slightly stiff smile. " Xiao Bai, you haven't been back to school in a long time. Did you take a leave of absence?"
Upon hearing about the school, Luo Bai recalled the three backup guys who had always taken care of him at school, all of whom had gotten into trouble, and in such an outrageous way. One of them became the stepfather of another rich kid and went to Australia with the rich kid's mother... and the other was responsible for spreading rumors and causing trouble. These three were a complete mess, and every time he thought about them, he got a headache.
He doesn't even want to go back to school now.
Actually, there was another reason: he was afraid of running into Luo Beishi...
He used to look forward to every time he met Luo Beishi Luo Beishi, hoping to be able to curse him fiercely and glare at him. Then he would be ridiculed and isolated by everyone, which was what he wanted to see.
But now, Luo Beishi is not only radiant and worth over 100 billion, but he is also someone Luo Beishi cannot reach.
But he was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to accept that it wasn't someone else... but Luo Beishi, whom he had bullied before!
He has been suffering from a mental breakdown due to the torment he has endured in Luo Beishi these past few days.
I really want to get revenge, no matter what method I have to use...
Seeing Luo Bai's knuckles turn white as he gripped the wheelchair armrests, Xu Qing sneered inwardly.
