Chapter 231: Chapter 227: Scheme Succeeds

Han Min was incredibly excited, thinking about the $15 million that was soon to be credited to her account; she even began planning how to use this massive amount of money.

"Big sister, before I transfer the money to you, I need to understand your plan somewhat, to judge how likely you are to succeed."

Cao Qiu stared at Han Min.

"Of course." Han Min said, "What specifically would you like to know?"

"Just explain your plan and how confident you are in its success."

Cao Qiu said.

After thinking for a moment, Han Min said, "Long Chen is an extremely cautious person. I can’t give myself away in front of him, not even the slightest hint of wanting to harm him, otherwise he might notice."

"That means Long Chen is a very sharp individual; then isn’t your chance of success very, very small?"

Cao Qiu frowned.

"I have my ways," Han Min said. "Starting now, I will avoid meeting him, not give him any chance to read my thoughts. Also, while he’s not at home, I’ll put the colorless, tasteless poison you mentioned into the water dispenser and the kitchen food to knock everyone out. However, let me be clear, you can’t touch my daughter. If you break this agreement, you’ll regret it."

"Of course, our interest lies only in Long Chen because he’s the key figure in Dragon Doctor, controlling him means controlling the big picture,"

Cao Qiu said with a smile.

"Alright, then transfer the money."

"Will do."

...

A day later, Eastern Dragon Shadow Group officially announced its formation.

Under Dragon Shadow Group, there were pharmaceutical companies, security companies, film and media companies, and internet culture companies.

This news caused quite a stir in Great Xia, akin to a small earthquake.

The world was abuzz, including dynasties outside Great Xia who were paying close attention.

At the opening ceremony, Xia Ling, Zhao Churan, and Li Yuechan all attended the meeting.

Zhuge Xuan and Unrivaled stood not far from the three women, cautiously watching their surroundings.

Long Chen, hidden among the crowd, watched the three women with a smile on his face.

In the eyes of the world, the three women were undeniably queen-like figures.

Each could hold her own, possessing incomparable charm.

Unbeknownst to them, at that moment, something unknown to them was happening at home.

Taking advantage of the empty house, Han Min put the colorless, tasteless poison into the water dispenser and cups.

In the kitchen, Han Min did not let up, placing the poison in everything Long Chen might touch, like chili sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar.

After completing all this, Han Min left satisfied.

On the other hand, the opening ceremony continued for an hour before it ended.

Long Chen, along with Xia Ling and others, completed many subsequent tasks.

It wasn’t until after eight o’clock in the evening that they all got into a car and headed home together.

On the way, Xia Ling laughed, "Let’s find a place to eat and celebrate."

"Why not go home and cook ourselves? We can drink to our heart’s content," Zhao Churan said with a light laugh.

"I agree," Li Yuechan laughed. "It will take us about half an hour to get home. In that case, I’ll ask my mom to buy some groceries in advance."

"That works,"

Xia Ling nodded with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Yuechan immediately called Han Min.

Once connected, Li Yuechan said, "Mom, can you buy some groceries for us? We’ll cook when we get back."

"I’m busy; I’m eating out with friends," Han Min said deliberately, though in fact, she was thrilled to hear this.

"Mom, it’s late, please come home soon."

Li Yuechan furrowed her brows.

"No, I won’t. Here’s what I’ll do; I’ll ask the delivery guy to drop it off at the door so you don’t need to buy anything. That’s it, I’m hanging up."

Han Min hung up hurriedly, feigning busyness.

Li Yuechan held the phone, sighing helplessly.

"What’s wrong?"

Long Chen asked.

Li Yuechan responded with a bitter smile, "She’s out dining with someone and won’t come back."

"Then let’s buy the groceries ourselves; it’s not much trouble," Long Chen said with a smile.

"She’s already ordered delivery; it’ll be left at our doorstep, and we can just bring it in when we get back. Since it’s bought, let’s leave it,"

Li Yuechan said.

"Alright."

Long Chen didn’t think too much about it.

After all, Han Min’s character, not coming home, is quite consistent with her nature.

Half an hour later, Long Chen and his group, in some traffic, finally made it back to their doorstep.

At the doorstep, there was a pile of paper bags.

These were the groceries that Han Min had someone buy.

Long Chen was wary of Han Min, and so he carefully checked all the groceries for any problems. After finding none, Long Chen also let down his guard.

Once inside the house, they all busied themselves, even the little Unrivaled was pulled by Li Yuechan into the kitchen to help.

They were busy for a good while before one dish after another was served on the dining table, steaming hot.

Because Han Min had previously added poison to the soy sauce, cooking oil, etc., each dish contained toxins.

At this moment, Han Min was squatting outside the villa.

She faintly saw through the dining room window, Long Chen and the others were laughing and chatting non-stop, having already started to eat.

"Long Chen, this time I’ll see if you don’t die."

Han Min was extremely excited.

As long as this plan succeeded, the task given to her by Li Yuechan’s biological father would also be considered complete.

Besides, she would also receive a high payment from Cao Qiu, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking it over, Han Min called Cao Qiu.

"They have started eating, they will inevitably faint, but I can’t see through Long Chen. Perhaps because of his constitution, he might wake up quickly after being poisoned, so you better hurry over."

Han Min lowered her voice and spoke rapidly.

"Okay, I’m also nearby. Hide well and don’t expose yourself."

Cao Qiu hung up the phone.

In the dining room, Long Chen and the others began eating, and opened two bottles of five liang liquor.

Unbeknownst to them, this liquor was also poisoned.

Long Chen and the others did not suspect poisoning at all, enjoying the food and drink immensely, laughter filling the room.

But, mere ten minutes passed, Li Yuechan and Li Yuexin, along with Zhao Churan, all suddenly clutched their heads, their eyes becoming unfocused.

"I... I feel extremely dizzy?"

"Me too."

"This wine really packs a punch."

Despite their efforts to stay conscious, they couldn’t hold on and, squinting, collapsed onto the table.

Unrivaled and Zhuge Xuan were also groggy, lying on the sofa and closing their eyes, falling into a heavy sleep.

"Xia Ling, how about you? What do you feel?"

Long Chen looked towards Xia Ling.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ling didn’t respond to Long Chen. She slumped sideways and lay across the sofa.

Long Chen looked at the table full of good dishes and good wine, suddenly sensing that something was wrong.

He stood up, about to check if someone had tampered with anything, when he suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.

In that second, Long Chen confirmed that someone had tampered with the food.

But unlike Zhuge Xuan and the others, he did not faint.

"Haha, Long Chen, bet you didn’t see that coming?"

Just then, a loud laugh came.

Long Chen looked over, the person before him blurring in his vision.

The poison was indeed formidable, even affecting him greatly.

But Long Chen recognized the voice, it was Han Min.

Besides Han Min, there were also several other people.

"Big sister, your contribution this time is immense, once it’s successful, we’ll give you another twenty million."

Cao Qiu stood with his hands behind his back, his smile bright.

"You guys quickly take Long Chen away. It’s best to capture him and cripple him, don’t give him any more chances."

Han Min gritted her teeth.

"Don’t worry about that, we know what to do. However, besides taking Long Chen, we also need to take away the women around him; otherwise, I don’t think Long Chen will comply easily. But if we take his women, it’ll be different; he won’t agree, then I’ll select a woman and let the brothers slowly torment her to death in front of him, torturing them one by one, I don’t believe he can stand it."

Cao Qiu had a sinister smile.

Han Min’s expression changed. "Cao Qiu, you promised me, you wouldn’t take my daughter."

"Really? I promised you something like that? You must be hallucinating."

"Cao Qiu, you’re dishonorable, your cunning plans succeeded because of my help. Don’t overreach," Han Min clenched her fists.

"Stupid woman, really too stupid."

Cao Qiu reached out and slapped her, knocking Han Min out cold.

Then, Cao Qiu said to the people behind him, "Tie up everyone here on the spot, especially Long Chen, stab him through the Pipa Bone before you tie him up; then, even if the Heavenly God descends, he won’t escape."
