Mei Jianxue certainly didn't believe Chen Fang was a doctor.

She thought he was trying to take advantage of her in her weakened state.

She kept her mouth shut tightly, refusing to listen no matter how much Chen Fang explained.

"Mei Jianxue, please open your mouth obediently; otherwise, I really will take liberties with you,"

he said.

Chen Fang's hand was on her chest.

If he pressed down, he would be able to touch her towering peaks with his hand.

Mei Jianxue was terrified.

She could only obediently open her mouth.

Chen Fang ordered, "Stick out your tongue."

Once Mei Jianxue complied,

Chen Fang was stunned.

The tongue coating was white, the tip of the tongue turned purple.

He released his hand immediately, saying with a blank expression, "Nine Yin Cold Condensing Powder, it seems your opponent really wants you dead, no holding back."

At first, Mei Jianxue always thought Chen Fang was a lecherous man.

Since he tried to lift her clothes, she started thinking that way.

Unexpectedly, not only did he get off her, but he also mentioned a name she had never heard of.

"You... you really are... really a doctor?"

She forced herself to sit up and asked.

"I'm not lying to you, my parents are both traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and I've been learning it since I was young,"

Chen Fang said.

"Then, what is this Nine Yin Cold Condensing Powder you mentioned?"

"It's an extremely sinister poison. I read about it in my father's notes. I always thought it was lost, didn't expect it still exists in the world. Simply put, it's made by refining nine cold-natured medicines like Aconite Frost, Snow Frog's Saliva, Lycium Root Dew, etc. Once inside the body, it creates cold poison, causing your lower abdomen's pain and the bluish-purple lines under your skin as the best evidence."

"This poison is colorless and tasteless, mixing with water, impossible to detect. It's an ancient palace trick used to punish concubines, not even detectable in an autopsy, let alone by doctors in hospitals. Seems like your opponent has put thought into this, knowing once the poison is used, neither of you can be saved."

Chen Fang said.

Mei Jianxue's expression started to tense up.

Tears rolled down her face.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, she said hatefully, "Fang Yuxiu, you're too ruthless!"

"Fang Yuxiu? The one who wanted to harm you is Fang Yuxiu?" The Fang Yuxiu from the Shengrong Group?

Chen Fang shivered and asked.

Mei Jianxue nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Why was Chen Fang so shocked to hear the name Fang Yuxiu?

Because the fame of Shengrong Group was simply too big.

It wasn't a private enterprise but a vice-ministerial central enterprise, and the chairman of the group was Fang Yuxiu.

In other words, Fang Yuxiu's administrative rank was also vice-ministerial.

So what was the background of Shengrong Group?

Around twenty years ago,

the country, to handle the bad debts of various financial institutions, including banks,

established five financial asset management companies nationwide.

Shengrong Group was one of them, headquartered in Longxing City, Jiuhai Province.

In those days, Fang Yuxiu was just in his early thirties and already managing such a newly established central enterprise.

Nowadays,

Shengrong Group had become a financial behemoth, controlling assets worth trillions.

The business scope had expanded from initially handling bad debts to encompassing banking, leasing, securities, trusts, consumer finance, futures, etc.

Who would have thought that the head of such a high-level state enterprise would resort to such a scheme against a private enterprise leader?

"Shengrong Group had long been hollowed out by Fang Yuxiu. Don't be fooled by the pretty numbers on the surface; it's actually an empty shell. To make up for the massive deficit, Fang Yuxiu only has one way, and that's to swallow my Jianhai Group. Only then can he pass the higher-ups' scrutiny, and only then can he extract more money from banks..."

These words.

Mei Jianxue spoke with difficulty.

"Why Jianhai Group of all things? No matter how big it is, it can't fill Shengrong Group's gaps, right?"

Chen Fang asked.

Mei Jianxue took a deep breath and said, "Because Jianhai Group owns two manganese mines, although these two mines are nearly depleted, Fang Yuxiu has his eyes set on them."

"Falsifying mineral reserves?"

Chen Fang immediately caught on to the clue.

Mei Jianxue nodded and said, "Yes, as long as connections are made and reserves falsified, the value generated by these two mines can offset Shengrong Group's entire deficit. This way, Shengrong Group can continue to operate; otherwise, in a few months, Shengrong is going to collapse."

At this point,

Chen Fang understood.

Fang Yuxiu had been in contact with Mei Jianxue long before.

His plan was simple.

As long as Mei Jianxue cooperated, allowing Shengrong Group to merge with Jianhai Group, she could still act as chairwoman of Jianhai Group and receive a considerable annual dividend.

Mei Jianxue refused.

As the crisis deadline approached,

Fang Yuxiu had no choice.

He had to take the most aggressive measures.

Once Mei Jianxue was dead,

the following matters would be a lot easier to handle.

Given this context, what was happening before them was not surprising.

"Actually, for some time, I've suspected he might remove me. That's why I bring so many bodyguards when I go out. His plan is straightforward: either trap me or, if that's not possible, eliminate me altogether, as the last resort."

Mei Jianxue sighed and said.

After saying this,

Mei Jianxue looked towards Yu Yan's direction.

She said, "My death doesn't matter, it's just a pity for A-Yan, she's innocent."

"Death? Not necessary. If I know what poison you were subjected to and still let you die in front of me, that would be a disgrace to my father's reputation,"

Chen Fang said.

Mei Jianxue was taken aback.

She asked, "You're saying, I can still be saved?"

Chen Fang shrugged and said, "I just said others couldn't save you, I didn't say I couldn't save you."

"That's great, you can really save us?"

Hearing this,

Mei Jianxue became excited.

Chen Fang showed a troubled expression.

He said, "I can save you, and I have a seventy percent chance, but... but..."

Seeing him hesitate to continue,

Mei Jianxue quickly said, "As long as you can save me and A-Yan, any amount of money is fine."

"It's not about the money, it's about the two of you."

Chen Fang said.

Mei Jianxue froze and asked, "The two of us? What's wrong with us?"

Chen Fang sighed deeply.

He said, "During the treatment, you... you might have to undress..."
