Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Medicine Material Business

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.
