Chapter 1312 All Refuse to Provide Medicinal Herbs!
The call had not ended yet, but no one spoke.
Fang Qiu remained silent.
On the other side, the staff of the Public Security Department remained silent. He waited quietly for Fang Qiu’s answer.
After a long time…
“Then settle the matter and keep it a secret.”
Fang Qiu spoke in the end.
He had considered it for a long time, but when Fang Qiu said this, he felt deeply aggrieved!
He was the victim of this incident!
It almost ruined the Foundation’s reputation!
Those people…
The bosses of those Chinese Medicine companies destroyed Li Guangsheng and Chen Peilun, brought misfortune to several doctors, and even nearly killed four patients!
Fang Qiu was filled with righteous rage. This evil thing they planned harmed him and many others, so he was eager to get justice.
But…
He couldn’t do that.
His only option was to suppress his anger with all his might!
“Whew…”
After he heard Fang Qiu’s answer, the person who called him finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he said, “Well, we’ll let the intermediary shoulder the blame. He’ll be responsible for everything. His friend actually doesn’t have complete knowledge of this matter. So, we will just detain and fine him.”
The man concluded.
Fang Qiu felt even more aggrieved.
He could hardly control himself and felt that he was about to explode with rage.
But…
At the thought of the overall situation, he could only hold back the deep sense of grievance in his heart.
He took in a large gulp of air.
Fang Qiu spoke up. When he was about to agree with it, he paused for a moment. Then he abruptly changed his mind.”Let’s defer the decision and not close the case yet. Carry on with the interrogation. I want to fight against them!”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
“Okay.”
After thinking for a moment, the other party agreed with the suggestion. “But you still need to consider the possible impact.”
“I understand.”
Fang Qiu acknowledged this with a nod.
He also wanted to close the case as soon as possible and let others know that the low-quality medicine had nothing to do with him and his Foundation. But he just couldn’t grin and bear such a result!
Fang Qiu was a Chinese Medicine doctor.
In his eyes, after what these despicable people did, how could traditional Chinese medicine have a promising future?
He still needed to wait a little longer.
He had to wait for Mr. Zhao Shanlin’s market research report. After he read it, he would reconsider how to deal with this matter.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
As soon as he finished the call, there was a knock on his office door.
Then…
The door was pushed open, and a familiar figure came in.
“What are you doing here?”
Fang Qiu was stunned when he saw the person.
It turned out to be Jiang Mengjie!
“Tell me, have you found the truth and the real criminal? After all, I’m working for the Foundation.”
Jiang Mengjie asked.
“Yes, I found both.”
With a nod, Fang Qiu said, “However, this matter is tricky. We can’t solve it for the time being.”
At this point…
Fang Qiu shook his head and asked, “Let’s not talk about it. You came to see me. What’s the matter?”
“Mm.”
Jiang Mengjie nodded and said, “Yes. We are short of medicinal herbs because our supply of medicinal herbs was cut off. Last time, these countryside clinics got some, but all their medicinal herbs have been sealed up. Now, all our tens of thousands of clinics have no medicinal herbs to sell.”
While they were talking…
Jiang Mengjie walked to Fang Qiu’s desk, sighed gravely, and continued, “These clinics are open for patients, but the patients have to buy medicine from other places where they get their prescriptions. Due to this, the prices of medicinal herbs in pharmacies have increased more or less. It may not be a big deal for people in the city, but for people in the countryside, the medicine prices are indeed a little high. Now everyone is asking how we are going to solve this problem. What should we do?
Fang Qiu listened to her carefully.
His face darkened.
The sense of grievance in his heart surged again.
...Fang Qiu, who had been busy investigating the case, had never thought of this.
And now…
This was the problem.
In the countryside, there were 60,000 doctors, 60,000 clinics, and 60,000 villages with patients waiting for the medicine that would save their lives.
Before the truth was found out, Fang Qiu was reluctant to purchase medicinal herbs from those Chinese Medicine companies, but what else could he do now?
Would he have to swallow the grievances in his heart and beg those medicine merchants?
Fang Qiu went quiet for a moment.
He pondered over this problem for a long time.
“This is the list of a few pharmaceutical companies.”
Fang Qiu wrote a list, handed it to Jiang Mengjie, and said, “Get in touch with the drug makers, but don’t contact these pharmaceutical companies.”
Jiang Mengjie took the list and had a look.
...She found out to her surprise…
It included all the well-known Chinese Medicine companies in the current market.
After skimming through the list, Jiang Mengjie frowned and said, “Besides these pharmaceutical companies, the others are not big. You want to get the medicine from those smaller companies. Are you sure about that?”
“Let’s do this for now.”
Fang Qiu sighed softly and said, “We’ll cover the shortfall for the time being. Let’s discuss it after the matter is fully resolved.”
There was no other way.
This was the only solution Fang Qiu could see at the moment.
He could only stifle his indignation first.
However, as a doctor, Fang Qiu couldn’t let the patients suffer, no matter how wronged and displeased he felt. Since those patients were either in pain or about to die, he couldn’t treat their illnesses lightly!
“Contact our original suppliers of medicinal herbs to see if they are willing to continue to supply us with the medicine.”
Fang Qiu said. For the sake of the patients, he had to be forbearing.
“Okay.”
Jiang Mengjie nodded knowingly and said, “I’ll contact them right away.”
After that…
She walked out of his office.
In the office…
After Jiang Mengjie left, Fang Qiu clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Then he strode out of the base and dashed into the depths of the desert.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
A series of thunderous explosions immediately erupted from the depths of the quiet desert.
After a long time…
The deafening noise died down.
As the yellow sand rose and dispersed, Fang Qiu stopped.
Before him…
There was a huge sand pit!
Undoubtedly…
He had created this sandpit on the ground.
At this time…
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Fang Qiu’s cell phone suddenly rang in his trouser pocket.
He took it out and had a look.
Jiang Mengjie was calling him.
“How did it go?”
Fang Qiu, who had just vented most of his anger, answered the phone in a calm voice.
“There were 30 Chinese Medicine companies that supplied us with medicinal herbs. I’ve contacted them, but all of them adamantly refused to continue providing us with medicinal materials. They said that before the truth was found out, they didn’t want to cooperate with our Foundation.”
Jiang Mengjie said solemnly.
“Humph!”
Fang Qiu snorted coldly.
“These evildoers were impudent enough to say such high-sounding words!”
Fang Qiu had just given vent to his anger.
Because his pent-up anger was released a little, he could face this matter calmly.
The more sober-minded he was, the more he could think things through.
“Something’s not right.”
Fang Qiu suddenly thought of something.
This group of people spent so much time and effort to make such a big plan. Their purpose was to frame the Foundation and him, wasn’t it?
And now…
The truth had been uncovered.
As soon as the misunderstanding was cleared up, the public would no longer target Fang Qiu.
In this case…
Would this group of people let this matter end so easily?
It cost them so much effort, money, and energy to set all this up. How could they allow Fang Qiu to crack it with such ease?
So, what if he had found out the truth?
They were in the dark. Even if they were found guilty, they had countless ways to get away with it. In particular, they knew well this matter could exert an enormous impact. Once the truth was announced, it would cause great turmoil.
Therefore, they felt emboldened and had nothing to fear.
Since it was so…
They weren’t even afraid that the truth would be revealed to the public. How could they possibly give up?
Perhaps…
They still had a backup plan!
At the thought of this…
Fang Qiu’s eyebrows rose and he said, “Contact them again an hour later and tell them the truth has been found out. There is proof that our Foundation was not involved at all!”
“Hum?”
Jiang Mengjie, slightly taken aback, asked, “I don’t think you’re in a good state. Since this investigation is complete, you should have a good rest. Don’t get too anxious. It’s the first time I’ve seen you under such great pressure.”
“I’m fine.”
Fang Qiu replied with a smile, “Rest assured. I’m only 20 years old. I’m very young and can take great pressure.”
Jiang Mengjie looked at Fang Qiu.
She frowned slightly and couldn’t help feeling sorry for Fang Qiu.
Here…
Fang Qiu knew perfectly well.
Since he wanted to compete with them, he had to figure out their true intentions. Only in this way could he handle them unflinchingly. Otherwise, many similar problems would arise and make things difficult for him!
When Jiang Mengjie left.
Fang Qiu found the number of the police station in Blackhill Gate Village on the Internet and dialed it at once.
“Hello, this is the police station.”
A police officer answered the phone.
“I’m Fang Qiu. Could you put me through to Chief Pan?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
The police officer nodded and put the phone aside.
About two minutes later…
“Hello?”
Pan Mingrui’s voice came from the other end.
“Chief Pan, I’m Fang Qiu.”
Fang Qiu said, “I specially called you because I hope you can do me a favor.”
“What?”
Pan Mingrui was startled.
“How could Fang Qiu need my help?”
“I hope you can show the investigation progress on your police station’s official Weibo account. It can prove that the Three Billion Foundation had nothing to do with this case.”
Fang Qiu said.
“Well…”
Upon hearing this request, Pan Mingrui couldn’t help but hesitate.
“The public has the right to know.”
Fang Qiu added, “Besides, this matter is indeed not related to our Foundation.”
After he finished speaking…
Pan Mingrui carefully thought about it.
His words made sense.
Fang Qiu and his Three Billion Foundation had been wronged. Although he didn’t dare to announce the truth of the case, he could at least prove their innocence.
“Okay.”
Pan Mingrui had intended to consult his supervisor about that. However, after careful consideration, he finally gritted his teeth with determination and nodded in agreement.
As the head of a police station…
He could undertake this job.
Moreover…
He heartily sympathized with the Foundation.
After all, it was built with the health of the villagers in mind. Besides, it was just an announcement that was not related to the Foundation. Issuing the statement wouldn’t violate the principles.
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu expressed his gratitude.
Sure enough…
Not long after, the official Weibo account of the police station in Blackhill Gate Village released an announcement.
“Following is the progress of the case in Blackhill Gate Village: Three Billion Foundation doctors selling fake traditional Chinese medicine. We’ve finished the preliminary investigation. According to the related clues and evidence, the case of shoddy traditional Chinese medicine is not connected to Mr. Fang Qiu and the Three Billion Foundation. Because this case is very complicated, it is not convenient to reveal the specific details.”
