Chapter 263: Investigation
Translator: EndLessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhao had been very productive over the past few days, carrying out his strategy. Just a few days ago, Lu Wen’s company received a massive bomb.
“Anti-dumping? How is that possible?” Lu Wen was taken aback when he heard the news from his subordinates. This was his company’s largest export country. His already shaky cash flow would be further paralyzed once the government initiated an anti-dumping investigation.
“It’s true. The Ministry of Commerce has already sent a notice.” Lu Wen’s subordinate was so nervous that his forehead was covered in sweat. Lu Wen’s foundation here had been rock-solid. This had been completely unexpected.
“Inform the legal department of the lawsuit immediately, and get ready to respond. Also, with the Ministry of Commerce… Lu Wen collected himself and gave directions.
“President, we’ve already sent it over for review to the legal team. The Commerce Ministry’s potential point of contact has suddenly gone silent on us.” Lu Wen’s subordinate frowned. “This anti-dumping probe has also gotten off to an unusually fast start.”
Lu Wen clenched the report in his hand tightly. “Lu Zhao!”
The anti-dumping measure was unprecedented. Old Master Lu would never cut off his own business. The only person he could think of who had the ability to push for such an investigation was Lu Zhao!
This, however, was not the worst of the news.
In the afternoon, Lu Wen’s secretary reported another matter that made him even more terrified than the investigation.
“Golden Willow Capital has been investigated by the police for drug involvement, including the project you invested in.” Lu Wen’s subordinate hurriedly interrupted the meeting and whispered to Lu Wen.
“What?” Lu Wen didn’t have time to be shocked.
He had determined that this was the most promising avenue for finding a treatment for Nancy. He could not allow Lu Zhao to ruin it all. He absolutely could not!
Despite Lu Wen’s best efforts, he was unable to get in touch with Lu Zhao. Lu Wen stormed into the Luya Group’s headquarters that afternoon.
“Mr. Lu Wen! This is the office area. Please do not enter without an invitation! Mr. Lu Wen!” Outside the president’s office of the Luya Group, Secretary Li and the security guards caused a commotion.
Lu Wen eventually forced open Lu Zhao’s office door, though.
After all, they were all Lu kin by blood. Secretary Li was unsure of his superiors motivations and thus could not intervene forcefully.
“Lu Zhao!” An enraged Lu Wen stormed over to his desk.
“Anyone not directly involved, please leave.” Not even looking up from the paper he was reading, Lu Zhao paid no attention to Lu Wen.
“Yes.” After hearing Lu Zhao’s instructions, Secretary Li hurried to remove Lu Wen.
“Lu Zhao, let’s talk!” Lu Wen made a concerted effort to settle his nerves. He pushed Secretary Li away and stared straight at Lu Zhao.
“What is it that needs to be discussed?” Lu Zhao finally raised his eyes and asked coldly.
“I can give you everything you want.” Lu Wen inhaled deeply. The mornings assessment was out. It was difficult to bridge the gap in the capital chain because of anti-dumping pressure on the stock market. It was already exceedingly challenging for him to single-handedly save the company.
Old Master Lu was the only person he could turn to for guidance if he was determined to fight it out. But Old Master Lu would only help the company and not his research.
Even then, Lu Zhao would wipe out his last hope.
“The shares, the company, you name it. I only have one request.” As he stared at Lu Zhao, Lu Wen propped his hands on the table. “Let Golden Willow go.]’
Lu Wen clenched his jaw tightly. His concessions were always made with Nancy in mind.
“Heh.” Lu Zhao sneered. “You started moving toward people I care about. Are you seriously asking me to back off now?
Lu Wen clenched his fists tightly. “It had nothing to do with me!”
There was no change in Lu Zhao’s expression. He did not intend to clarify who was the mastermind between Lu Wen and Golden Willow Capital. He was only aware that they had delivered potentially lethal drugs to Luo Yings side. He planned to wipe them out completely.
Lu Wen’s agitation level skyrocketed when he saw that Lu Zhao was unmoved. “You know how much pain Nancy is in! You’ve experienced every single flare-up yourself! Nancy is innocent. You…”
In an instant, Lu Wen realized that Lu Zhao, who was standing before him in perfect health, surely knew the value of the antidote. Why would he, if he were poisoned, sabotage the entire biological experiment? How could he not have the project in his hands?!
Maybe he already had a more effective antidote and didn’t need to rely on fictitious biological studies after all?!
“Are you alright? How can you be fine? Why are you fine?!” Lu Wen lost control and tried to grab hold of Lu Zhao..
