After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu's pupils dilated sharply as something suddenly occurred to him.

"Are those medicines still around? Show them to me!"

The nurse was startled and quickly brought over the Chinese herbal medicines that had been distributed earlier.

"These are the herbal materials provided by the hospital we have a contract with, claiming to be specifically for health cultivation, so we gave them to the elderly."

Chen Yu tore open a packet of the Chinese herbal medicine and sniffed it, discovering it was composed of dried herbs that had been stored for too long.

These substances were not particularly harmful to the human body, and some herbal medicine shops even package leftover dried herbs together to make Siwu Tang, or Four Substances Soup.

However, the problem lay in these being leftover dried remnants of Chinese herbal medicines.

Chinese herbal medicine is ordinarily composed of single-prescription herb packets tailored to address specific ailments.

But now, to mix so many different herbs together, that's no longer medicine for curing diseases, but a poisonous concoction harming people.

Chen Yu instinctively looked at the company name on the back of the herbal medicine packet, and prominently saw the words "San Mu Pharmaceuticals."

"Notify everyone immediately, from now on we are not to purchase any Chinese herbal medicines from this pharmaceutical company!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the nurse immediately made the call.

The elderly residing here for recuperation were mostly veterans with distinguished military service, and some had even higher connections within their families. If anything happened to the elderly here, these nurses would be in too deep to escape trouble.

Zhou Shengtao was also frowning deeply and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

"Chen, what on earth is going on here?"

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, "When I was promoting ready-made medicines at various hospitals, I found that they had all purchased Chinese herbal medicine packs from San Mu Industries. But these packets are just some simple packaged medicines with not much effect. If mixed together, they could easily harm the body."

Zhou Shengtao was immediately angered, grinding his teeth, "These damn rascals are just too despicable. I will coordinate with the relevant departments immediately to stop the use of these Chinese herbal medicines in all hospitals."

Chen Yu didn't say much more, as this was ultimately good news for him. As long as Chinese herbal medicine packets disappear from the hospitals, his own ready-made medicine packets could rapidly dominate the market.

After making sure the elderly were all taken care of, it was already 8 pm. Chen Yu had intended to leave then, but Zhou Shengtao forcefully dragged him into the car.

"Chen, there's something I must ask for your help with! Are you aware of a drug trafficking gang recently active in Suzhou City?"

Chen Yu shook his head, having been too busy with the factory lately to pay attention to any drug trafficking gangs.

"Captain Zhou, just tell me what you need me to do?"

Zhou Shengtao sighed with some difficulty.

"You are now an official external staffer, and you have a businessman's cover, so I want to ask you to go undercover for us there."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, "Captain Zhou, you really think highly of me. I'm not very confident about this undercover business."

Zhou Shengtao patted Chen Yu's shoulder, "Don't worry, our people will assist you in secret. As long as we can get evidence of their illegal activities, we can arrest them. First, you need to get in touch with them and buy their merchandise."

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, knowing at this point he couldn't say much else, especially since Zhou Shengtao was essentially his superior officer.

Early the next morning, after briefly inquiring about the factory's status, Chen Yu immediately drove to a restaurant on the eastern outskirts of Suzhou City.

Despite its remote location, the restaurant was lavishly built, and most of the people dining there were decked out in a dazzling display of wealth.

As soon as Chen Yu walked in, all eyes in the room simultaneously converged on him.

An employee even ran over to Chen Yu's side with enthusiasm.

"Sir, are you here to have a meal or to drink tea?"

This fellow was obviously too enthusiastic, especially since the restaurant's notice board clearly stated that today they only had spiced noodle soup, yet he even asked Chen Yu whether he wanted a meal or tea.

Chen Yu didn't bother with that and directly took out an invitation from his pocket.

"I'm here to meet friends!"

Upon hearing this, the people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief and shifted their gaze elsewhere.

Soon after, a middle-aged man slowly descended from the second floor.

"You must be Mr. Chen! I've long heard of your great reputation, and today I finally see you in person!"

The middle-aged man appeared extremely enthusiastic; he went straight up to Chen Yu and embraced him, but no sooner had their bodies touched than Chen Yu felt a hard object pressing against his waist.

It was a small automatic weapon—if the other party pulled the trigger, Chen Yu would be dead.

"Boss Niu, what is this supposed to mean?"

Boss Niu chuckled, "It's nothing personal, I just felt that Mr. Chen's arrival was so timely that I couldn't help but be suspicious! I hope Mr. Chen understands."

While speaking, Boss Niu had frisked Chen Yu from top to bottom, only retracting the automatic weapon in his hand after making sure Chen Yu had nothing else on him.

Chen Yu deliberately made an angry face, "Boss Niu, this is a bit much, don't you think? I came here for business, recommended by someone, and you treat me like this. If that's the case, then our deal is off."

As his words fell, Chen Yu walked out without looking back.

But just as he reached the door, Boss Niu hurried after him.

"Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. We all have lived through perilous times; we are very cautious in everything we do. Moreover, the medicinal herbs we have were smuggled over from Cambodia, which the relevant departments would not approve of."

Chen Yu snorted, "I can understand that, but your actions just now were too much. The price we agreed upon earlier has to be discounted by ten percent."

These words vividly displayed the image of a businessman looking to profit.

At the same time, they completely lowered Boss Niu's guard.

"Mr. Chen, we can negotiate the price. As long as you can take all the goods I have, not to mention a ten percent discount, I am willing to give you half off."

"Where is the merchandise?" Chen Yu asked with an intentionally cold demeanor.

Without saying much, Boss Niu led Chen Yu to the back courtyard and lifted up a large tarp.

Varieties of medicinal herbs piled up like mountains, their fragrance wafting through the air, momentarily making Chen Yu's spirit vibrate.

Among them were some rare medicinal materials, and the quantities were extremely vast.

Actually, if we get right down to it, there wasn't anything special about these herbs, it was only their channel of distribution that was improper.

No one could guarantee that these herbs weren't mixed with other miscellaneous substances.
