Chapter 237: Chapter 237: If You Don’t Drink Now, You’ll Miss Your Chance

All her suspicions were confirmed.

Even those pranks were thought up by Shengli and carried out by Bald and his crew.

The police had already collected evidence from those pranks, and now they had captured Bald and his crew, who had confirmed it, naturally implicating both father and son Shengli.

To catch them red-handed, they came up with a plan, making Bald call the Shenglis to invite them over together.

Bald was extremely cooperative, telling Xun on the phone that Lin Zhi had already signed the agreement and was scared out of her wits. He even boasted about extorting an additional two hundred thousand from Lin Zhi.

Bald instructed them to come over immediately for a meal to celebrate, declaring that their joy should be shared, and it would be an insult if they didn’t come.

Xun didn’t want to come at first, afraid that Bald would hold a grudge if they made him unhappy, so he reluctantly brought Shengli with him.

On their way there, he was worried there might be a problem, but once he arrived, he was reassured.

In the private room, there was only Bald and his crew, and indeed they had prepared a table full of fine liquor and dishes.

Xun immediately laughed and said, "Brother, you’re really something. You settled the matter so quickly."

Bald replied proudly, "Of course. Big brother, don’t you know who I am? Have I ever failed at a task you gave me? It was just threatening a young girl, after all. Here, the agreement is in hand, and she was so scared, she gave me an additional two hundred thousand. I’m so happy today, I’ll treat you to this meal!"

Seeing Lin Zhi’s signature on the agreement, the Shenglis finally felt at ease. They drank merrily with Bald and his crew and ended up spilling everything, both what should and shouldn’t have been said.

Bald and his team patiently joined them, continuously prying for information.

They even managed to extract Xun’s involvement in selling counterfeit drugs. He bragged about how lucrative the business was, buying fake drugs for a few bucks and selling them for hundreds.

In fact, it wouldn’t really qualify as counterfeit since consuming them wouldn’t harm people, and the effects were almost the same. The only difference was that they weren’t produced by authorized manufacturers.

Every drug goes through vast research, clinical trials, and so on. The investment of labor, resources, and time from the manufacturers is substantial. Sometimes they even operate at a loss and have to rely on government subsidies to survive.

That’s why once a drug is on the market, it’s protected by national patents.

Even if they’re sold at high prices, it’s allowed by the state, as manufacturers need to break even; otherwise, no one would be willing to invest substantial effort into developing new medicines.

Therefore, it’s illegal for other unscrupulous businessmen to take others’ research results and easily produce drugs. Such counterfeit drugs are severely cracked down upon; otherwise, they would become rampant, making it difficult for the nation to produce new drugs, leaving many diseases without treatment options.

So Xun’s actions in trafficking fake drugs were also a serious violation of the law.

Xun, too drunk and having known Bald for many years and entrusted him with many unsavory tasks, was willing to divulge these secrets.

Otherwise, given his cautious nature, he never would have revealed his secrets so easily to anyone else.

Pleased, Bald slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Big brother, you truly have talent! You’re much smarter than me, little brother. No wonder you’re wealthy, and I’m not! Come on, big brother, keep drinking. This toast is to you!"

Xun waved his hand, "Can’t drink anymore. Any more, and I’ll really be drunk."

"Big brother, if you don’t drink now, you might not get another chance," Bald suddenly said, his demeanor particularly mysterious.

Xun felt a sudden chill, "What do you mean by that?"
