104. Accidentally met Old Wei

  After dinner, everyone went upstairs, planning to engage in their next recreational activity.

  As Chen Chen walked out of the restaurant, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure disappearing at the staircase entrance, and couldn't help but pause for a moment, secretly pondering the other person's intentions.

  But after thinking for half a day, I couldn't think of anything, so I smiled apologetically at the classmates next to me: "You guys go first, I'll go to the bathroom and come up to find you in a while."

  "Hurry up." A few classmates didn't suspect anything and just smiled as they reminded him: "We're waiting for you at KTV."

  Chen Chen nodded and quickly walked towards the stairs, following the place where the person disappeared, and soon found the other's figure in a deserted corner.

  Creeping up quietly, his finger pressed against the other's back: "Don't move, raise your hands!"

  The other party was clearly stunned, slowly raised his hands, and seeing his tense appearance, Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Honestly confess, what are you sneaking around here for?"

  "Chen Chen?" The other person finally recognized his voice and was surprised to put down his hand and turn around: "What are you doing here?"

  Standing in front of Chen Chen was exactly the bodyguard of the Luo family, Old Wei, who had a good relationship with Chen Chen.

  "I'm here for the alumni reunion." Chen Chen casually explained, then composed himself and looked at the other person seriously: "And you? What brings you here? Is Lao Luo around?"

  "He's not here, I'm alone." Lao Wei raised his head and carefully observed the surroundings, confirming that no one else was present before lowering his voice to explain: "I've come to secretly investigate the Meng family."

  "Are you investigating Meng's family?" Chen Chen was taken aback: "Be more specific."

  Lao Wei trusted Chen Chen very much and didn't hide anything from him at this time, telling him the situation.

  It all started with the Zhao family, who were engaged in the production of health products and medicines, and their business was quite large. This time, they took a fancy to the large courtyard of the Nanxi County Hardware Processing Factory's residential area, bought it at a high price, and then transferred it to the Meng family for development, planning to build a new pharmaceutical factory.

  But just in the previous period of time, Zhao's family produced health products were exposed to have excessive harmful ingredients, and many consumers showed manic symptoms after use.

  Although the Zhao family took immediate action and recalled these medicines, this matter still caught the attention of law enforcement agencies because the side effects of these medicines were somewhat bizarre, causing them to associate with certain ideas.

  Then, the law enforcement agency secretly began to investigate Zhao's family medicine production. One of Lao Wei's former comrades was working in the law enforcement department and thought that Lao Wei was familiar with Yan City and had dealt with the Zhao family before, so he entrusted Lao Wei to pay attention to see if there were any clues.

  Lao Wei told Ruo Yu Huang about this matter, and Ruo Yu Huang also strongly agreed. He was extremely kind to his friends, but ruthless to his enemies, showing no mercy at all. Upon hearing that there was an opportunity to strike the Zhao family, he couldn't ask for more.

  Lao Wei secretly conducted some investigations, but didn't get anything valuable in Rong City. Thinking that the Zhao family was cooperating with the Meng family to build a pharmaceutical factory, and the two families seemed to have a good relationship, he shifted his attention and came to investigate the Meng family to see if he could make any unexpected discoveries.

  And then there was this scene before our eyes.

  "It turned out to be like this, it was said that the land Zhao's family bought was actually our family's piece of land." Chen Chen understood and nodded unconsciously: "So the project was contracted to Meng's family?"

  "So it's your family after all?" Hearing this, Old Wei was also somewhat surprised: "Do you have any inside information?"

  "Not in this regard." Chen Chen smiled faintly, looked around cautiously, and asked in a low, mysterious tone: "However, I did hear some rumors when I was in Europe this time. Are you interested?"

  "Speak up!" Seeing that Chen Zhen had some explosive information, Lao Wei suddenly became interested and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

  "I've also just heard, but I don't have any evidence in my hands." Chen Chen pre-emptively defended himself before starting to explain: "The Zhao family has colluded with some European financial groups and secretly developed gene-enhancing drugs. You didn't say that the health products they produced had side effects that could drive people mad? This is easy to understand, they must have added excessive strengthening agents to the medicine."

  "That's right, the enhanced medicine can naturally improve human function and play a therapeutic and health role. The Zhao family plans to use this to attract consumers." Upon hearing this explanation, Old Wei also understood and continued along the line of thought: "However, in their eagerness to make money, they added too many ingredients, resulting in side effects such as mania and destructive impulses."

  "Your comrade works in the law enforcement department, so you should also know that this ingredient is a banned substance." Chen Chen nodded: "It's not just that, if we dig deeper, this thing can be considered a biological and chemical weapon. This is no longer a matter of medicine, what it means, do I need to say?"

  "This is an object that all countries severely crack down on." Lao Wei said in a stern tone, then looked at Chen Chen seriously: "Thank you, this time you helped me a lot, providing such an important clue. I will immediately tell my comrade to launch a comprehensive investigation into the Zhao family."

  "If I find anything on my end, I'll let you know right away." Chen Chen flashed a faint smile and glanced around: "Alright, won't keep you any longer, I still have to go attend the alumni reunion."

  "Go." Old Wei nodded.

  At this moment, Chen Chen calmly walked up the stairs to the top floor and came to the KTV room.

  As I entered, a group of classmates were drinking and chatting, while the person who was supposed to sing was singing in a dry voice.

  As he walked in, the class monitor and several close classmates waved at him immediately. Chen Chen smiled faintly and walked over to sit beside them.

  At the other end of the sofa, Meng Zijun was also loudly chatting with a group of followers, boasting about his achievements over the past few years, how much money he had made, and how many women he had played with.

  Whenever he talks about his own exploits, a group of followers inevitably fawn over him, which makes him extremely satisfied, with a smug smile on his face.

  "Well, no need to say more, the most successful one in our class is definitely Meng Zong." A sharp voice of a follower echoed in the private room, even overpowering the music: "And secondly, it must be our class monitor, I heard he also entered a multinational company and became a high-ranking executive in just a few years."

  Everyone's eyes turned to the class monitor upon hearing this.

  "Somewhere." The class monitor adjusted his glasses and casually said: "It's just working for others, can't compare to Meng Zong like that."

  "Alright, alright, don't be so modest, class monitor." With the class monitor's praise, Meng Zijun became even more pleased with himself: "It seems that all of our classmates have made it out, I'm also very relieved."

  "It's just that I don't know who is doing the worst now." A follower thought for a moment and asked, his eyes inadvertently glancing at Chen Chen.
