Yan Lang shook his head. "Of course not. I've been fortunate enough to taste some of those foods. Not only are they all radiation-free, but the quality is impeccable. I guarantee that once you've tasted them, you'll never forget them. These ingredients simply cannot be grown at our Base 71. My opinion is that we should also get a share of this big business, but we can't just rob it outright. We'll need you, Dad, to step in and have a proper talk with Dr. Wang. Our family has the influence of the Guard, and now the Guard is practically our domain. So many forces want to cooperate with us; there's no reason why Dr. Wang wouldn't want to use us."
After pondering for a while, Elder Yan stood up, paced back and forth a few times, turned on his wristwatch, and made a phone call, contacting Dr. Wang late at night.
"Old Yan? Is something wrong that you're calling me so late?" Dr. Wang had just been about to lie down when he received a call from Elder Yan of the Guard. This guy rarely contacted him, so this sudden call couldn't be anything good.
" Dr. Wang, I have something to discuss with you."
What are we talking about?
Dr. Wang sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and listened attentively.
"I'd like to get involved in your business as well. You know that new milk tea shop that opened on the black market, right? They've recently started selling canned goods. The ingredients are not only fresh, but all of them are radiation-free. Unfortunately, my men arrested two people on the black market. They didn't know they were your subordinates at first, so please forgive them for their offense."
Dr. Wang: "My business? My people?"
Elder Yan chuckled a few times. "Those two specifically asked me to tell you that his name is Qi Feng. He used to be part of our Guard; you should know him, right?"
" Qi Feng!" Dr. Wang's tone was somewhat unsettled. Wasn't Qi Feng Sang Luoluo's bodyguard? Had they both been arrested?
He knew that Sang Luoluo had some radiation-free food, and given Sang Luoluo abilities, she could easily earn enough to eat. However, judging from what Elder Yan said, there seemed to be some unexpected circumstances.
" Dr. Wang, my subordinate is being inconsiderate. He asked Qi Feng and the others some questions, but he refused to answer and kept insisting on seeing you. What do you think...?"
Elder Yan wore a smug smile. He was a little awkward discussing business over the phone; some things needed to be settled in person to put his mind at ease.
"Address."
Elder Yan immediately gave Dr. Wang an address on the black market and took his son there to wait.
Dr. Wang. Wang immediately summoned Jian Cheng and instructed him to take a large number of people to the black market. As one of the lab's senior executives, his ability to maintain his position over the years was not solely due to these superficial factors; he also had influence in the black market.
Jian Cheng had just returned home when he immediately turned around and went out again. He was working overtime late at night. There was no other way; the doctor's affairs always came first. And this time, he was going to the black market, which was definitely not a simple place.
For the doctor's safety, he brought plenty of guards.
Two o'clock in the morning, at the Yan Family warehouse on the black market.
Qi Feng and Sang Yunpu were tied together. Seeing that everyone around them was staring at them, Sang Yunpu said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you really unable to get me out of here?"
Qi Feng said, "Yes, we can, but if we both expose our identities, even if we run away, we'll be caught. If you trust me, when the others arrive, just keep quiet."
"Alright." Sang Yunpu gave up struggling. He could tell that Qi Feng wasn't putting up any resistance, which meant he was really done for this time.
"I wonder if my sister will worry if she doesn't see us come back home. Sigh."
The sound of a convoy could be heard outside. Elder Yan and his men had been waiting in the next room for a long time.
He gave a wink to the person next to him, who immediately went to open the door to greet them.
Elder Yan led Yan Lang outside, and upon seeing the man, his face immediately lit up with a smile. He said, " Dr. Wang, you've finally arrived."
Dr. Wang snorted coldly and strode inside. Jian Cheng, who was beside him, waved his hand, and the guards behind him stood in two rows.
Seeing that he had brought so many people, Elder Yan's smile faded slightly, but he still maintained a smile and said, " Dr. Wang, please have a seat."
Dr. Wang raised his hand to stop him, "No need, where is the person? I'll talk to them first."
There was no point in Elder Yan continuing to detain the two men, so he waved his hand, ordering someone to open the warehouse door and bring Qi Feng and Sang Yunpu out.
Dr. Wang was somewhat relieved to see that Sang Luoluo was not among the two people. However, when he saw the young man next to Qi Feng who looked five parts similar to Sang Luoluo, he recognized him from his file; he was Sang Luoluo's brother.
She glanced at Qi Feng, "So, you're the one who wanted to see me?"
Qi Feng nodded, glanced at Sang Yunpu, and said, " Dr. Wang, I have no choice but to ask for your help."
" Elder Yan, let's talk about business first."
"Business?"
What business is related to the two of them?
Elder Yan smiled and said, "It has little to do with those two. It's mainly about you. The milk tea shops' sources and the ingredients used in their canned goods are definitely not from our base, judging from the quality. A single can of goods, only the size of a palm, requires eight Crystal Core. Such a huge profit, Dr. Wang, it's not appropriate for you to keep it all to yourself. How about we cooperate? You can share some of your resources with me, and my Guard will be at your disposal."
Dr. Wang was completely bewildered, but after a subsequent conversation, he understood the situation.
Elder Yan was furious. Well, it turned out that Qi Feng him.
Dr. Wang's expression remained relatively calm. From a purely self-interested perspective, if he were to make a decision regarding this matter...
Qi Feng looked at Dr. Wang and said in a deep voice, " Dr. Wang, this business originally had nothing to do with you, but it will now. We're being watched. Looking at the entire base, you're the only person we know. We're sorry for luring you here so late, but we only want to tell you the source of the ingredients. We don't want this stuff to fall into the hands of others. We hope you can support us."
Dr. Wang relaxed a bit after hearing Qi Feng's words; it was hard to refuse such easy benefits.
Was Sang Luoluo involved in this matter?
Qi Feng nodded. "Yes."
Where is she now?
Sang Yunpu said, "I'm at home. But we can tell you about this. It's a very simple matter. My sister is just worried."
Dr. Wang glanced at him and said, " Assistant Jian, go and bring Sang Luoluo here. There are some things that need to be resolved completely tonight."
Elder Yan was somewhat unwilling, especially Yan Lang, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Qi Feng. If he hadn't deliberately tricked them, this matter would never have alarmed Dr. Wang.
Dr. Wang looked at Qi Feng, "Come on, get in the car. If you have something to say, say it in the car."
"Yes."
Qi Feng agreed and pulled Sang Yunpu outside.
Elder Yan looked somewhat embarrassed and softened his tone. " Dr. Wang, our Yan Family truly wants to cooperate with you. Please give us a chance."
Dr. Wang looked at him with a smile and said, "We'll talk about that later. If you want to cooperate, come with sincerity, not just empty words."
Dr. Wang left the room, Elder Yan smashed a corner of the table beside him. Looking at his equally furious son, he couldn't help but slap him. "Is this the fact you're so certain of? After dealing with them for so long, you can still get this little bit of information wrong! What kind of person are you?!"
"He's always been suppressing me in the Guard, and it's still the same outside! Can't you show me some backbone?!" Elder Yan was furious and blurted out whatever came to mind.
After being scolded, Yan Lang clenched his fists, his face full of defiance. He was just careless this time; Qi Feng wouldn't be so lucky next time. He was just an ordinary bodyguard; what was there to brag about?
Having vented his anger, Elder Yan calmed down and continued, "Fortunately, Dr. Wang didn't outright refuse. Let's try to persuade him again. Such fresh ingredients shouldn't be enjoyed by him alone. If he's unwilling to share, we have other ways to make him give them up."
Sang Luoluo waited until midnight, but when she saw that the two of them hadn't returned, she left them some late-night snacks on the table and went to sleep first. After a busy day, she was exhausted both mentally and physically, and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
At 2:30 a. m., she was suddenly awakened by a series of doorbell rings.
Chapter 124 Alarming the Higher-ups Next, please keep your eyes peeled...
In a daze, he realized something was wrong; Qi Feng and Sang Yunpu wouldn't ring the doorbell like that.
At this hour, Sang Yunpu should have gone to open the door immediately upon hearing the doorbell. Something's wrong; Sang Yunpu may not be back yet.
Sang Luoluo up with a start, sat up in bed, put on her shoes, got out of bed, quickly put on her clothes, and walked towards the basement door. Through the electronic doorbell screen, she saw Jian Cheng's assistant's familiar face. There were other people standing behind him, who looked like security personnel.
Sang Luoluo didn't open the door; instead, she video-chatted with the person outside through the doorbell.
" Assistant Jian, what brings you to my house so late?"
Jian Cheng said, "We need you to come with us regarding your brother."
"My brother?"
Sang Luoluo was no longer calm, wondering what could it be? Most likely it was related to the black market milk tea shop.
Jian Cheng's assistant said, "Yes, Dr. Wang asked me to take you there. We'll discuss the details on the way. Don't keep Dr. Wang waiting."
Sang Luoluo nodded, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll put on a coat."
Sang Luoluo back and put on a thick coat. She hadn't expected this day to come so soon; she knew she had to face it eventually.
After Sang Luoluo left and locked the door, she sat down next to Jian Cheng's assistant. Jian Cheng then briefly explained the situation of Qi Feng and Sang Yunpu in the black market. If it weren't for Qi Feng's quick thinking in insisting that he was Dr. Wang's man, and Dr. Wang's immediate rush after realizing something was wrong, this matter might not have ended so simply.
