Chapter 889: A More Interesting Idea
by xennovel“What a coincidence.”
Xu Shaochen had only one thought after reading it.
“What coincidence?”
Jenny asked curiously.
Xu Shaochen looked at her: “Back then, I forced Zhou Yun to leave his hometown, and then he went to Hong Kong and became the richest man’s son-in-law.”
“Now Zheng Bei was forced out by me, and he became the son-in-law of a major drug lord. These people have really good luck.”
Turns out being handsome really lets you do whatever you want.
“The armies under those Mexican drug lords are organized by divisions and corps. They’re not afraid of you anymore.”
Jenny’s tone carried a hint of malicious joy.
Xu Shaochen smiled: “Well, then I can rest easy. Do they think the security guards from Xu International Security Company are just for show?”
At this point, he paused, a playful smile tugging at his lips: “Besides, I have an even more interesting idea. What do you think would happen if I sent his old news along with Zhou Yun’s to his current wife and father-in-law?”
“So sinister?” Jenny was dumbfounded. If Zheng Bei’s wife found out her husband had been publically humiliated, she would explode.
Especially since Zheng Bei’s father-in-law is a major drug lord. If he knew his daughter married a man who had been humiliated by another man, where would his face go? Zheng Bei’s fate would probably be disastrous.
Xu Shaochen glared at her discontentedly: “What do you mean sinister? This is called wisdom. Winning without fighting, get it?”
“Wait a minute. Zheng Bei has a company now. His role with the drug lord’s group is significant. He’s more than just a son-in-law.”
Jenny suddenly spoke. For those drug lords, practical benefits often outweigh their own daughters.
After all, they usually have more than one child.
“Haha, I know. But that has also become Zheng Bei’s death sentence. How many people do you think are eyeing his company, waiting to replace him?”
Xu Shaochen chuckled. In a world full of deceit, if something happened to Zheng Bei, there would definitely be people in the drug-lord group pushing things along.
“Ah, an invincible life is truly as lonely as snow.”
Xu Shaochen let out an exaggerated sigh, his face showing a bit of melancholy.
He thought Zheng Bei would come back this time to put up a good fight. But who knew? He could still wipe him out with a backhanded move.
Am I too strong? Or is he too weak?
“Stop showing off. Without your father and the Xu Corporation, you’re just an ant in their eyes.”
Jenny rolled her eyes, unable to stand his pretense.
“Set me up a meeting with Zheng Bei’s father-in-law and wife. I want to see them.”
Xu Shaochen casually threw the envelope onto the office desk.
“Drug lords normally don’t come to Mg Country. They’re afraid of being caught.”
Jenny frowned in concern.
Xu Shaochen smiled indifferently: “Then I’ll go to them.”
“Isn’t that too risky?” Jenny furrowed her delicate brows, a little worried.
Xu Shaochen was noncommittal: “It’s not. They won’t dare do anything because they know the moment they try, they’ll be wiped off the face of the earth.”
He liked places like Mexico, where firepower and money ruled, and laws and regulations didn’t matter.
Because Xu Corporation had both money and firepower.
The security (mercenaries) under Xu International Security Company were no worse than regular government soldiers.
Those small-time drug lords couldn’t even dream of standing a chance against such a security team.
Of course, to be safe, proper security precautions still needed to be in place.
After all, he never joked around with his own life.
………
Johnson Family.
“Father, things have gone much smoother than we expected. According to the report, all our drugs have sold out.”
Jim held a document in his hand, looking excitedly at his father, trembling with excitement.
“Hahaha… good, good, good.”
Sam couldn’t help but burst into laughter, repeating ‘good’ three times, his fatty face jiggling.
The other family members were all smiling. They were making a windfall without lifting a finger, and they could damage Xu Corporation at the same time. It was perfect.
“Father, I suggest we release the formula right now. Things are going so well. I’m worried Xu Corporation might realize what’s happening soon and start going after us for patent infringement.”
Jim’s expression grew serious.
Sam waved dismissively: “Go ahead. Let everyone join in and make money with us. The more we earn, the more Xu Corporation will lose.”
“The Nick Family and the Karen Family will regret this once they find out.”
Someone muttered.
Everyone erupted in laughter once again, the room filled with elation and excitement.
Soon, Jim released the formula he got from Peter Jr.
This caused yet another uproar online.
Everyone agreed that Xu Corporation’s drug formula had leaked, and then they went crazy buying the Johnson Family’s fake medicine.
However, Xu Corporation’s genuine drugs weren’t selling well due to their higher prices.
Even though Xu Corporation’s prices weren’t unfair, people always prefer cheaper things.
Sales of the Johnson Family’s drugs skyrocketed once again, and they made a huge profit.
Meanwhile, lounging on a Hawaiian beach and cuddling a bikini-clad beauty, Peter Jr. casually skimmed through the news and cursed, “Idiot.”
As one of the few who knew the inside story, he knew how high the Johnson Family was flying now, and how hard they’d fall later.
Fortunately, once they’d confirmed the formula, the Johnson Family paid him off and sent him away.
Otherwise, once things broke, he might have been torn to pieces by the Johnson Family.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
The first batch of people who took the Johnson Family’s fake drugs started showing symptoms.
The spark came from a hospital’s department head who posted online that his hospital treated over thirty cases of drug poisoning overnight.
The symptoms were vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness.
After this post, many hospital staff replied, saying they had the same cases in their hospitals.
According to netizens compiling the posts, the reported poisonings already exceeded a thousand cases.
At the same time, many poisoned patients’ families began posting online, condemning the Johnson Family’s pharmaceutical company.
Governments worldwide also made immediate statements and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The situation completely exploded.
