Chapter 192: The Fish Has Taken the Bait
With Jiang Li by her side, Fu Jiuxiao felt that the pain in his body had been alleviated quite a bit. It was a good night’s sleep.
The sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Jiang Li immediately opened her eyes and looked at Fu Jiuxiao, who was still sleeping soundly. She slowly got up and went to the study to call Wei Ziheng.
Wei Ziheng’s cheerful voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. “Boss, you finally called. I missed you so much!”
“Cut the c.r.a.p. I need your help with something.” Wei Ziheng quickly agreed. “Boss, just say it. I will do it for you.”
Jiang Li heard Wei Ziheng’s reply and fell into deep thought. She could not ruin Fu Jiuxiao’s plan, so she could only follow Fu Zhongtian’s plan at the moment.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li directly ordered Wei Ziheng, “I want you to announce to the public that Team Eagle has developed some kind of euthanasia drug. This drug can cause death, and there won’t be any traces of it. It’s best to spread this news as widely as possible.”
When Wei Ziheng heard this, he instantly raised his voice. “What? Boss, are you crazy? Let’s not talk about the fact that we haven’t developed this drug. Even if we did, this drug is extremely inhumane. What if it’s used to harm people?”
When Jiang Li heard Wei Ziheng’s words, she could not help but chuckle. The annoyance from yesterday was completely swept away. “Who asked you to really develop it? I only asked you to pretend to have such a medicine. Just use glucose or normal saline to fill the create the medicine. They won’t suspect anything anyway.”
“What I want to do is to play the long game and catch the big fish.”
After Jiang Li said that, a dark light flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. It was obvious that she hated Fu Zhongtian’s family to the extreme.
Wei Ziheng heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Li could even hear his voice as he patted his chest to catch his breath. “That’s good, boss. You really scared me to death. Wait a moment, I’ll announce the news now. Let’s contact each other on WeChat.”
Jiang Li looked at the phone that was hung up on and turned on her computer to connect to her phone.
At this moment, she was waiting for Wei Ziheng’s announcement.
Jiang Li held her breath and stared at the screen. The moment she saw the announcement on the website, she immediately picked up her phone and her fingers moved quickly on the screen.
At the same time, a news feed appeared on the computer in Fu Zhongtian’s office.
The most eye-catching front-page news was the announcement that Wei Ziheng had just made.
Fu Zhongtian had only felt annoyed at first, but when he was about to take a break, his sharp eyes saw the words ‘euthanasia’.
He thought of the humiliation yesterday and the management rights that he had yearned for but could never get. The killing intent in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
If he had not made a move before because he was afraid that Old Master Fu would investigate later, how could he not make a move at this moment since such a good opportunity had presented itself to him?
Thinking of this, Fu Zhongtian immediately called his a.s.sistant over. “Go to this address and tell them that you want to buy their latest drug. They will give it to you. You don’t have to worry about the money.”
Hearing this, the a.s.sistant immediately nodded and agreed. Then, he immediately went to Team Eagle’s nominal headquarters.
This address was rented by Wei Ziheng casually. After all, the real headquarters would not be known to outsiders.
Wei Ziheng paced back and forth in the headquarters, wondering why Jiang Li had not arrived yet. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. In the end, he simply gave up and collapsed on the chair, ready to bombard Jiang Li with messages.
Just as he was about to send out the first message, the doorbell suddenly rang. Wei Ziheng jumped up from the chair like a robot that had been hit by a switch.
He immediately opened the door and saw the strange man open the money box before he could speak, indicating his purpose of coming. “We want to buy your latest research. This is the deposit, a total of one million dollars.”
The a.s.sistant raised his head confidently as if he thought Wei Ziheng would not refuse. He did not expect Wei Ziheng to actually smile contemptuously. “Heh, it’s a 100 million dollar drug, and you only give a one percent deposit. Is this appropriate?”
When the a.s.sistant heard this, his eyes fell out of their sockets. “How… how much?”
“100 million dollars, no more, no less. It’s just right.” As soon as Wei Ziheng finished speaking, he saw the a.s.sistant’s face turn ashen. It was obvious that he could not back down.
He looked at Wei Ziheng and could only turn around to make a call.
When he came back, he held a card tightly in his hand and handed it to Wei Ziheng. “This is 50 million dollars. Is that enough?”
Wei Ziheng immediately transferred the money in the card to his account. Then, he gave the other party a drug and a form.
“Fill in the form and take the things with you. Remember to pay the rest when you’re done.”After Wei Ziheng said that, he took out his phone.
It looked like he was playing a game, but in fact, he was sending a message to Jiang Li.
“Boss, the fish has taken the bait.”
