Chapter 379: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

“Stand your sister!”

Gao Xiaogong was feeling confident and smug when a huge palm suddenly appeared before his eyes, immediately sending him flying.

It was Gao Daqiang who made the move. He sprang up from the ground, then walked over and kicked Gao Xiaogong in the lower abdomen, sending him flying directly into the wall.

The two bodyguards standing nearby immediately stepped forward to act when they saw their master being hit, but how could they be a match for Gao Daqiang?

One had just thrown a punch when Gao Daqiang grabbed his arm. With a crack, he snapped it clean off.

The other hadn't even reacted before he was kicked away, hitting the nearby wall with a thud and instantly falling unconscious.

Gao Xiaogong was stunned by the beating. He finally came to his senses and cried out in horror, “You… you… why are you alright?”

Gao Daqiang said disdainfully, “Your petty tricks can’t even begin to scheme against Xiao Fan. You’re far from it!”

And just then, Ye Bufan also stood up from the ground.

Gao Xiaogong cried out in shock, “You… how are none of you poisoned?”

Ye Bufan said teasingly, “Didn't you inquire about my Medical skill before you made your move? Do you really think such a small flower could poison me?”

It turned out that when he first entered the room, he smelled an unusual fragrance and immediately saw the pot of Pink Skeleton. However, this thing had no effect on his Chaotic True Qi.

Not only him, but Gao Daqiang had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of Body Refining, making his body exceptionally strong, so the Pink Skeleton's toxicity was far from enough.

However, after curing Xia Zihan, Ye Bufan, in order to lure out the mastermind, played a trick to draw the snake out of its hole. He secretly sent a voice transmission to Gao Daqiang, telling him to pretend to faint, and then he himself collapsed to the ground.

All of this was fake; the purpose was to make the hidden person appear.

How could Gao Xiaogong know this? He jumped out without hesitation.

“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I've done experiments. No one can resist the Pink Skeleton's toxicity.”

Gao Xiaogong still looked incredulous. This pot of flowers was bought from a wizard in South America for a whopping 200,000 usd.

And he wasn't a fool; after returning, he successively found three people to experiment on, and only after confirming its effectiveness did he bring it to Jiangnan City.

“This thing of yours is far too inferior.” Ye Bufan reached out and took the pot of flowers, sniffed it with his nose, and then said, “To be honest with you, you've been tricked.

Although this pot of flowers can barely be considered a Pink Skeleton, it's a hybridized variant, not even one percent of the original.

If it were a purebred Pink Skeleton, it might cause us some trouble, but this fake is far from enough.”

“I…”

Gao Xiaogong now hated that wizard to death for tricking him with such a fake.

Seeing that the tide had turned, he plopped down on his knees in front of Gao Jiajun: “Godfather, I was wrong. Please, for the sake of raising me for so many years, give me another chance!”

Gao Jiajun said coldly, “Do you think I'd be blind a second time after being blind once?”

“Godfather, I beg you…”

Gao Xiaogong made to hug Gao Jiajun's leg, but suddenly changed direction and lunged at Xia Zihan on the hospital bed.

He was very clear that obtaining Gao Jiajun's forgiveness was already impossible. Only by taking this woman as a hostage would he have a chance to survive, and he could even extort a large sum of money.

He had just lunged halfway when he heard a thud, and his whole body bounced back as if he had hit a copper wall and iron barrier, dizzy and disoriented.

It was Gao Daqiang; he had been watching this guy all along. How could he give him a chance to hijack his mother?

“You bastard, I just said that if I found out who poisoned my mother, I would kick his balls off.”

Before Gao Xiaogong could react, Gao Daqiang kicked out, his huge foot striking hard below his lower abdomen.

“Ah!”

Gao Xiaogong seemed to hear the sound of his own balls shattering, followed by a pig-like scream.

Ye Bufan walked up to him, holding the Pink Skeleton, and said, “This fake you bought, the fragrance is a bit lacking, but if swallowed, the effect is still good.”

After speaking, he grabbed his chin and shoved the entire pot of flowers into his mouth.

Gao Xiaogong's face was filled with despair. He wanted to struggle desperately, but under the suppression of Ye Bufan's powerful cultivation, he couldn't even move a single finger.

A moment later, his face turned black, and he foamed at the mouth, finally dying from the poisonous plant he had bought himself. It could be considered reaping what he sowed.

The next day, Kunpeng Group in Hong Kong announced that Vice President Gao Xiaogong had died of a sudden myocardial infarction, and his previous position would be taken by Gao Daqiang.

After dealing with the matters in Jiangnan, Gao Jiajun returned to Hong Kong with Xia Zihan.

After all, with Gao Daqiang's current ability, he couldn't yet manage a trillion-dollar conglomerate like Kunpeng Group. Gao Jiajun needed to personally oversee it, while all matters in Jiangnan were handed over to Gao Daqiang, the Vice President, to be fully responsible for.

Ye Bufan returned to Xinglin Garden and continued to diagnose patients.

But in the afternoon, he suddenly received a call from An Yimo, “Xiao Fan, something bad has happened at Longteng Pharmaceutical. Come back quickly.”

“Oh! Don't worry, I'll be right there.”

Ye Bufan immediately handed the medical clinic over to Cao Xinghua and others and rushed to Longteng Pharmaceutical. He knew that with An Yimo's ability and composure, she wouldn't call him unless something major had happened.

Upon arriving at the company, An Yimo and a dozen or so management personnel were already waiting in the conference room, their expressions very grim.

Ye Bufan asked, “What happened?”

An Yimo said, “It's like this: all of Longteng Pharmaceutical's products were removed from all chain pharmacies in Jiangnan Province today.”

Ye Bufan said in surprise, “Why? Is there a problem with the quality of our medicine?”

An Yimo said, “Our medicine production has strict quality control, and there are no quality issues. The reason for the removal is entirely due to price.”

Ye Bufan said, “Because of price? How is that possible?

If they weren't satisfied with the price, they would have removed them before, there's no need to wait until now, and it's impossible for all chain pharmacies in Jiangnan Province to be dissatisfied with our prices, right?”

“That's how it is, Chairman Ye.” The speaker was a young man in his thirties named Li Qiang, the sales manager of the pharmaceutical company.

“I have a friend at a pharmacy, and he secretly told me that someone leaked all of Longteng Pharmaceutical's medicine base prices and sent a copy to every chain pharmacy.

Generally speaking, our medicine base prices are confidential. After they were leaked, the pharmacies immediately felt that we were taking too much of a cut, which is why they removed our products.”

Ye Bufan said with a grim face, “Leaking medicine base prices? How could this happen? Is there an inside traitor among our people?”
