After sending the black ghost away from the villa, Xu Mingzhe fell into deep thought.

Previously, Xu Mingzhe had agreed to team up with Qiu Ruoxi to deal with Yan Qingdi purely for money. Moreover, with Qiu Ruoxi leading in front and himself at the back, even if Yan Qingdi wanted to settle accounts, he would first go to Qiu Ruoxi.

But now, with Qiu Ruoxi encountering such an incident, she would certainly be overwhelmed, and if the plan to deal with Yan Qingdi stalls and gives him a breather, Yan Qingdi would definitely come after him later.

This was absolutely not something Xu Mingzhe wanted to see.

Yet, given the current situation, even if he didn't want it, there was nothing he could do. Who would have expected Qiu Ruoxi to encounter such a situation at this juncture?

Most importantly, it happened when he and Qiu Ruoxi were dealing with Yan Qingdi.

Who could possibly be targeting Qiu Ruoxi at this juncture?

Yan Qingdi?

Xu Mingzhe didn't know, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was Yan Qingdi's doing.

But regardless of whether it was Yan Qingdi's doing, this incident served as a warning bell to Xu Mingzhe, making him realize that he must remain vigilant.

If this was Yan Qingdi's doing, he might be the next target.

Meanwhile, in Huangtu Group, Qiu Ruoxi was sitting in her office, listening to Qin Muge's report.

As Qin Muge spoke, Qiu Ruoxi's brows knitted even more tightly.

"President Qiu, that's the situation. Our self-produced shoes are contaminated with poison!" Qin Muge repeated once more, "This is almost identical to that deadly online shopping incident from a few years ago, and we haven't detected what poison it actually is yet..."

"Did the security department find anything?"

"We've conducted a series of tests on all our self-produced items, but didn't find any similar issues."

After the incident, Qin Muge promptly ordered a thorough check of the currently stored goods in the warehouse.

"President Qiu, I suspect someone is deliberately framing us!"

"We'll discuss this later," Qiu Ruoxi said calmly, "Go through everything in the warehouse again, and also check who sent out that pair of shoes, and who was responsible for the security check at the time..."

Qin Muge knew Qiu Ruoxi was concerned about internal issues in Huangtu Group, so she directly said, "Yes!"

"By the way, how is the poisoned person doing now?"

"They were rescued in time and are not in life-threatening danger!"

Hearing this, Qiu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one died, there was still room to maneuver. The fear was that someone might suddenly die.

If that happened, there would be no room for maneuver.

"All the medical expenses for the other party will be covered by our Huangtu Group." Qiu Ruoxi quickly added, "Also, inform Mei Hanqing to negotiate with the other party's family and explain that these are our issues for which we will take full responsibility, but ask them to give us some time!"

"We've already talked with the other party, but they are so emotional they're not listening to anything..." Qin Muge replied with a bitter expression.

After the incident, Qin Muge made a series of arrangements, but they had little effect, as the other party seemed convinced Huangtu Group was indifferent to human life!

Otherwise, the matter wouldn't have blown up to this extent!

Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, then rubbed her temples, which were starting to ache, and spoke again, "Have we reported to the police?"

"The police are already involved!"

Qiu Ruoxi nodded, "You can go for now. Inform me directly if anything comes up!"

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi say this, Qin Muge didn't speak further and simply turned to leave.

Once Qin Muge left, Ye Xunhuan, who had been sitting on the sofa in the reception area, suddenly spoke, "Wife, if someone wants to frame you, they'll definitely do a clean job. Even if you investigate, it might not be of much use!"

"If I don't investigate, I won't know anything."

Although what Ye Xunhuan said made sense, Qiu Ruoxi knew that she had to investigate just in case she found any clues.

The hope, though slim, was still hope, and even a spark could ignite a prairie fire.

"Wife, who do you think is plotting against you?" Ye Xunhuan asked Qiu Ruoxi.

This time, Qiu Ruoxi didn't immediately respond but fell into silence.

After a long pause, Qiu Ruoxi sighed lightly, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"No one you suspect?"

"There is!" Qiu Ruoxi said helplessly, "But there are too many."

In the business world, Qiu Ruoxi had developed Huangtu Group to its current standing by stepping over other companies along the way.

Although she wasn't like Ye Xunhuan, killing anyone, strictly speaking, she too had stepped over corpses to reach today's achievements.

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi say this, Ye Xunhuan found himself at a loss for words.

Based on his understanding of Qiu Ruoxi, even if he continued to ask, Qiu Ruoxi wouldn't be able to name any suspects.

Though cold, Qiu Ruoxi never falsely accused anyone or made unfounded statements, especially in the business arena.

"Alright, you should go out. I need some quiet time!" Qiu Ruoxi waved Ye Xunhuan off.

"Alright, but let me know if there's anything I can do!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan stood up and headed toward the office door.

Just as Ye Xunhuan reached the door, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to remember something and suddenly called out, "Wait a moment!"

"What is it?" Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his head to look at Qiu Ruoxi.

"Don't forget to pick up Aunt Wang!"

Ye Xunhuan nodded, "I got it!"

Then, without saying much more to Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan left the room.

Once Ye Xunhuan left Qiu Ruoxi's office, he took out his phone and called Xiao Jiu.

The call was picked up almost instantly.

Before Ye Xunhuan could speak, Xiao Jiu's voice immediately came through to him, "Brother Huan, what's going on with your wife's company? How did this happen?"

"What's your take?"

"It's definitely some bastard framing your wife!" Xiao Jiu asserted confidently, "Just let me find out who it is, and I'll make sure to take care of him!"

As if remembering something, Xiao Jiu hurriedly asked again, "Brother Huan, why are you calling me at this time? What do you need me to do?"

"Xiao Jiu, help me find out who might be plotting against Ruoxi and let me know!"

"Brother Huan, for this, you probably don't need to investigate much. Just call Jiang Wenhao and ask. He's been active in the business scene and surely knows. Meanwhile, I'll help you look into it!"
