Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Indeed, It’s a Trap

"It’s so noisy... What happened?"

Wrapped in her bedding, Yang Linglong lazily watched Ning Mengyao get up.

The girl bent over to pick up her scattered clothes from the floor, her face clearly pale.

"There’s been an incident at the cosmetic medicine place... my secretary just called. It seems like there’s been a case of mass food poisoning. The market inspectors and government people are all there... I need to get over there immediately..."

Somewhat panicked, Yang Linglong grabbed her coat and slipped on her high heels.

As she spoke, she was visibly nervous.

"How can this be such a coincidence? We signed the acquisition agreement yesterday, and today there’s trouble. This is clearly a conspiracy!"

Yang Linglong also realized that something was amiss.

She sat up, her brows tightly furrowed.

"No matter what, I need to go see what’s happened. The cosmetic medicine business absolutely can’t close down, otherwise everything that follows will be really troublesome."

Ning Mengyao didn’t have time to say much more.

She opened the door and was about to leave.

"Mengyao, don’t worry, I’ll tell my boyfriend in a bit and have him think of a way to help you."

Yang Linglong knew she wouldn’t be of much help if she went.

Besides, Lin Fan should still be under the bed.

Standing on the balcony, she saw Ning Mengyao hurry away.

Before she could turn around, a pair of hands were already wrapped around her slender waist.

"You sure are generous, lending your boyfriend out just like that?"

Lin Fan pressed his head against her earlobe.

The tingling sensation made Yang Linglong weak, causing her to lean into his embrace.

"She’s my best friend... I can’t help, but I have an outstanding, all-capable boyfriend, right? At the end of the day... I’ll just compensate you well."

Turning to face him, Yang Linglong nestled her head against Lin Fan’s chest.

This embrace had already made her lose control of her emotions.

"You don’t even know what’s happened, how can you be so sure I can help? But as a capitalist comes online, it looks like I need to leave too."

He squeezed her buttocks.

Lin Fan really didn’t want to leave.

After all, this beauty was hanging on to him just like a little monkey.

The fire that hadn’t been quenched last night was stirring again.

"Then tonight, I’ll wait for you at home, okay?"

Yang Linglong, looking at her toes, fiercely kissed Lin Fan’s face.

She didn’t want to part with him either.

But Ning Mengyao really needed help.

"Okay, clean up and wait for me to devour you."

He pinched Yang Linglong’s chin and deeply kissed her sensual red lips.

Only then did Lin Fan push open the balcony door and shoot down the stairs like a bolt of lightning.

"Not to steal people is truly a waste."

Watching Lin Fan move agilely like a ghost, Yang Linglong couldn’t help but sigh.

He made descending from the third floor look as easy as walking on flat ground.

...

"Hello!"

While Lin Fan was on his way to the cosmetic medicine place by taxi,

Ning Mengyao’s call had already come through.

"There’s been trouble at the cosmetic medicine place, can you come over if you’re free?"

Ning Mengyao’s voice sounded anxious.

"I’ve already heard about it and am on my way there," Lin Fan said casually.

"Heard about it... Who told you? I’ve ordered it to be kept confidential; is the news already spreading this fast?"

Ning Mengyao, clutching the steering wheel, was even more anxious.

The situation was spreading too quickly.

How could Lin Fan have already received the news?

"Do you think such a thing can be kept a secret? Although I don’t know what happened, it must be linked to the schemes of Ning Bingcai and his son. I bet they can’t wait for the whole world to know about this."

Only then did Lin Fan realize he had let something slip.

I can’t very well tell Meng Yao that last night we were separated by only a mattress.

"Alright, then I’ll see you at the hospital."

Meng Yao sighed.

She knew Ning Bingcai would cause trouble behind the scenes.

Yet, despite her single-mindedness, she had now caused a major disaster.

She really didn’t know what to do.

All she could hope for now was to minimize the impact of the incident as much as possible.

Half an hour later, Lin Fan’s car had already arrived at the cosmetic medical hospital.

Compared to the quiet and peaceful environment of yesterday, the hospital was now overcrowded.

Ambulances coming and going, carrying away one patient after another.

There were even the presence of media and official personnel.

"Wait, can I take a look?"

Lin Fan didn’t walk directly into the hospital but instead reached out to stop a stretcher.

He saw the patient on it was pale, foaming at the mouth.

The situation was quite serious.

"What’s there to look at? If you want to report something, go find the corrupt leaders of the hospital," grumbled the stretcher bearer.

"Don’t rush me now, asking them won’t get me any answers. I know a thing or two about medicine, let me check roughly, and I might be able to pinpoint the problem," Lin Fan responded, feeling the patient’s pulse.

The chaotic pulse confirmed that the patient had indeed been poisoned.

"What can you understand, you fool? Move aside quickly, if you delay the rescue, can you be responsible?" the stretcher bearer said impatiently, pushing Lin Fan aside.

He carried the stretcher into the ambulance.

Watching the ambulance speed away, Lin Fan’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Based on just that look and touch, he could only confirm that the other party had indeed been poisoned.

But he really couldn’t guess what kind of toxin it was.

"You’re here!"

When Lin Fan stepped into the office building,

a panicked Meng Yao immediately walked over quickly.

"Don’t worry, I just did a rough check, and although they are poisoned, it’s not very serious. A drip should pretty much take care of it. What’s the situation here?" Lin Fan asked, looking at the tape that was pulled up in front of him.

The authorities had intervened, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.

"I’m not quite sure either. The dean and the management have been controlled by the authorities. I glanced over just now and saw that dozens of people have been transferred in an emergency. The officials have defined the incident as a case of mass food poisoning and are investigating the canteen and water sources. There are no clues for the time being," Meng Yao said, sweating profusely from her palms.

It’s a pity, although the Ning Group acquired the cosmetic medical hospital,

she was only a senior executive of the parent company.

Now, she also couldn’t get in touch with the dean and others.

"The acquisition was completed just yesterday, and today an incident occurs. Isn’t the timing too coincidental? No wonder Ning Bingcai has been missing for so long. He must have been plotting a big move," Lin Fan said, his eyes narrowed, rubbing his chin.

The opponent’s move was a bit aggressive.

"It’s also my fault for not listening to your advice, being too anxious for quick results. If I had just waited a few more days, it would have been better!" Meng Yao regretted deeply.

At this moment, she really didn’t know how to deal with it.

"I’ve looked at the market research for this medical beauty, and indeed, whether it’s the price or the reputation, it is a quality stock. What businessman doesn’t like to make money? Since the other party has made a move, let’s just decode it. Right now, the most crucial thing is to get in touch with the former owner; there should be some clues from him," Lin Fan said, holding Meng Yao’s hand.

This wasn’t the time for blame.

"I’ve already called him, but he said he was too busy to talk to me, and moreover, he has already emigrated abroad. We can’t reach him," Meng Yao had naturally thought of this too.

But the other party had turned hostile and wasn’t cooperating.

"Perhaps your ’whip’ isn’t long enough, but provided he doesn’t hide in Yama Palace, my ’whip’ will catch him," Lin Fan replied, smiling as he took out his mobile phone and looked at the myriad of numbers.

It was time to show a bit of the Wolf King’s power.
