Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 688 Give Me Back My Innocence

"Why are you back?"
"I said I was going to get the medicine from the warehouse, but I forgot."

Actually, Xia was just saying it casually; he wouldn't dare let Xiao Xuan take the medicine to the patient.

He is the prime suspect right now. If the drug ends up in Xiao Xuan's hands, who knows what he might do?

"I was just saying it casually. I misremembered. There's still a little bit of this medicine left. I'll go to the warehouse to get it myself later. You can go down and lend me a hand!"

Xiao Xuan nodded, then looked back at the medicine cabinet behind him, feeling that something was amiss.

That evening, Xiao Xuan arrived at the location designated by Wang Dadong as promised.

"Mr. Wang, I noticed something strange today. The speed at which you dispense medicine at your pharmacy is getting slower and slower, but when I observed Xia dispensing medicine today, her speed was the same as before, or even faster. What's going on?"

Lin Tongtong pondered for a whole day but still couldn't figure it out, which is why she rushed to report to Wang Dadong.

"If it's really as you say, then it means he might not be hiding anything from you. Are you really sure he doesn't suspect you?"

"No, actually, they didn't tell me about the incident at the clinic; I found out on my own."

Wang Dadong thought about it for a moment and felt that it was reasonable for Wang Yang not to tell Xiao Xuan. After all, Xiao Xuan was young and he was afraid that Xiao Xuan would not be able to keep things to himself and would be scared. So he didn't tell him.

"Then investigate carefully what caused the slowdown in obtaining the medicinal herbs. There must be a reason; it couldn't have slowed down for no reason. The secret we're looking for might be hidden here."

Xiao Xuan nodded and replied, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this!"

"By the way, Xiao Xuan, I heard your dad's been gambling again recently?"

Xiao Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then lowered his head in shame. His father had never been able to quit gambling; if it weren't for his father's gambling addiction, his father wouldn't have taken all his living expenses over the years.

“It’s okay, it’s normal for older people to have hobbies. If he likes to gamble, let him gamble, I’ll give him money. I’ll give you a card, and I’ll deposit 50 into it every month.”

Xiao Xuan took the card, his hands trembling.

"Mr. Wang, please don't give me so much money, I really don't deserve it."

"Don't say that you can't accept it. If you can really help me win over Wang Yang, then a large part of this company will be yours in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan abruptly raised his head. If Wang Dadong had only hinted last time, this time it was a direct statement.

The assistant standing nearby sneered, but Xiao Xuan didn't see it.

"Mr. Wang, rest assured, I will do my best to get this done. If I fail, I will have no face to see you."

After Xiao Xuan left, the assistant moved closer to Wang Dadong.

"Mr. Wang, do you think he'll believe us if we say that?"

“Look at the way he’s acting, does he seem to disbelieve me? He’s probably already fantasizing about how he’ll run my company after we get it. Someone like him can be easily won over with a little something.”

The assistant thought for a moment and said, "I still think it's a bit of a bad deal. Giving him 50 a month is too much, especially since he hasn't accomplished anything significant."

"You can't say that. Wang Yang has a very good relationship with Ye Xue'er and Wang Yunyi. We have no way of getting to him. If they investigate and it leads back to our company, that would be a real problem!"

Therefore, the only person they can rely on to deal with Wang Yang right now is Xiao Xuan, so they have to treat him well.

"Remember to check on his father's situation as often as possible. If you can help, then help him. And you must get some leverage over him."

"Of course, I've already spoken to the people at the casino. The more his father loses, the better, and he'll incur huge debts. That way, we won't have to worry about his son not working for us."

Wang Dadong nodded: "You're the one who makes things easier for me. Ever since Xiao Wang left, I haven't known what to do. I'm all alone, with no descendants."

"Mr. Wang, please don't say that. I've been by your side since I was a child. You saved my life. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago."

Wang Dadong shook his head, but not everyone thought that way. He had known Xiao Xuan since he was a child and had been sponsoring him until he graduated from university.

But he never thought of repaying me until I found him and said I would give him some money. It seems that only money can make him obey.

After returning to the clinic, Xiao Xuan spent every day figuring out how to get closer to the medicine cabinet.

Xia Xia spends most of her time there getting medicine, only leaving when it's time to eat.

During this time, he was extremely anxious, like a cat on a hot tin roof, constantly worrying that if he didn't quickly resolve the matter for Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang would be utterly disappointed.
"Xia, weren't you feeling unwell the other day? Wang Yang said he'd give us some time off, why didn't he give you any?"

When Xiao Xuan said that, Xia Xia finally realized what had happened. They had used this as an excuse to fool him before, but now Xiao Juan was back from her vacation, while the rest of them hadn't had a break yet.

"The boss said that day that the store had been too busy lately, so the holiday would have to be put on hold for now. But I also felt that I should talk to him about it, because I have been really exhausted these past two days."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan was secretly delighted, thinking that his opportunity had finally arrived.

"How about this, I see you've been working really hard these past few days, why don't you talk to your boss and ask him to give you a few days off? Old Wang and I can lend you a hand too."

Xia Xia realized that Xiao Xuan's enthusiasm must have been orchestrated by someone behind him.

So, Xia went to Wang Yang's office.

"Boss, I think Xiao Xuan is acting a bit strange. He suddenly asked me today why I didn't take a break."

"I'd completely forgotten about that. Is he eyeing the medicine cabinet?"

After Wang Yang's reminder, Xia Xia remembered that she and Xiao Xuan had bumped into each other at the cabinet where the medicinal herbs were stored that day, and he might have noticed something.

“You’re right. The shop was incredibly busy that day. He came up to urge me, but I didn’t let him take the herbs away. Maybe that’s when he became suspicious and thought there was something hidden in the cabinet.”

“Then go tell him that I’ll give you a week off, and that Old Wang can come out of the warehouse to help out this week.”

Xia frowned: "This won't do. If Old Wang comes out of the warehouse, where are we going to get the medicinal herbs?"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans. During this period, the shop will only serve 20 customers a day, and then close down."

"You mean you'll stay at the store and help out?"

Wang Yang nodded: "At the moment, this seems to be the only way. He's probably about to make his move; he can't wait any longer."

After a while, Wang Yang and Xia went out together.

"Old Wang, let's have a short meeting." "I've noticed that everyone's mental state isn't very good lately, and I'm exhausted myself. The store is just too busy. So starting tomorrow, Xia will have a week off, Old Wang and Xiao Xuan will help out at the store, and I'll go to the warehouse."

"We only accept 20 guests a day, and we stop operating once we've served them all."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang quickly said, "But if that's the case, the patients definitely won't be happy."

"It's alright, we can take a look if there's an emergency. But those who need to get their medicine will definitely have to wait, since without Xia, your medicine dispensing speed will be much slower."

Xiao Xuan didn't understand why Wang Yang suddenly made such a decision.

"Boss, is something wrong at the store?"

Wang Yang chuckled lightly: "What are you saying? I just see that everyone is too tired. It's not fair to give you the day off out of all of us."

“That’s not what I meant. It’s just that the museum was closed for a day a while ago, and I heard from them that someone came to the store and caused trouble that day.”

Wang Yang nodded, not denying it: "Yes, that did happen, but it was just a small problem and it's been resolved. The main reason I didn't let you come to work that day was because I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle the situation. Don't overthink it, I did it to protect you."

After all, Xiao Xuan had just graduated and hadn't seen much of the world, so this explanation shouldn't arouse his suspicion.

"Yeah, Xiao Xuan, it's a good thing you didn't come that day, it was terrifying. Xiao Jiang wasn't in the shop that day, it was just the three of us. Luckily, the boss arrived early."

"Those people rushed into the store without any regard for anything else. They even tried to smash the store. I was so scared that I couldn't speak."

Hearing Xia say this, Xiao Xuan no longer doubted it; it seemed they really were trying to protect him.

"Since everyone has no more questions, let's start Xia's holiday from tomorrow. Thank you all for your hard work these next two days!"

Xiao Xuan was secretly pleased; the opportunity had finally arrived. Old Wang was getting old, his eyesight wasn't good, and his hands and feet weren't as nimble. If he wanted to cheat, it would be much easier for him.

Moreover, Mr. Wang had previously told him that the best outcome of this matter would be to frame Old Wang. After all, the father and daughter had complicated backgrounds, and compared to himself, they weren't as clean.

The next morning, Xiao Xuan arrived at the shop early. A while later, Wang Yang and Lao Wang arrived.

"Xiao Xuan, why are you up so early today?" Wang Yang asked him with a smile.

Xiao Xuan was engrossed in wiping the table when he saw the two of them arrive. He turned around and said with a smile, "Xia Xia left, didn't she? I was worried that no one would do these chores, so I thought I'd come early."
"It's rare to find a young person as diligent as you these days!" Old Wang couldn't help but praise.

"What are you saying? This is my cousin-in-law's shop, so of course I have to take good care of it. Besides, Xia isn't here today, so I don't know how busy the two of us will be!"

"It's alright, we're only hosting 20 guests today, so it shouldn't be too busy. Xiao Xuan, go and hang up that sign!"

Xiao Xuan responded, picked up the sign, and went out to hang it up.

"He probably didn't do anything underhanded today, since there are security cameras all over the store, and he knows that too."

Wang Yang nodded: "Of course not. If he wanted to tamper with something, he would do it on the medicine cabinet. Although there are surveillance cameras on the second floor, the cameras are facing away from him. He just doesn't know that there are actually cameras in front of him."

Xiao Xuan clapped his hands excitedly: "Done!"

There weren't many customers today, and they weren't as busy as I'd imagined. The day passed peacefully like this.

However, when the three of them arrived at the clinic early the next morning, they found that several people had already gathered at the entrance.

"He's the boss, and he's the quack doctor! Arrest him right now!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang knew that Xiao Xuan must have tampered with the medicinal herbs yesterday.

"What do you want to do? This is a clinic. Are you trying to start a fight by gathering here? Is there no law anymore?" Old Wang shouted at them.

"Your clinic is utterly reckless! My brother took your medicine and started vomiting and having diarrhea. When we took him to the hospital, they found out it contained croton oil!"

Wang Yang frowned. It seemed that Xiao Xuan only recognized these few medicinal herbs so far.

“You have no proof now, show me the hospital's records.” With that, Wang Yang opened the door to the clinic.

"Take a good look at yourself, you quack! I'll make sure everyone sees your true colors!"

Wang Yang waved to them: "If you have something to say, come in and talk. Our clinic won't see any patients today. Let's get this sorted out first."

Seeing that Wang Yang's attitude was good, the group stopped making a fuss.

"What's your name? Who's your brother?"

“My name is Hu Zi, and my younger brother's name is Xiao Qiang. He had a leg problem yesterday, so he came to see you for a checkup. You prescribed some medicine for him and also did acupuncture. As a result, he got diarrhea after going home and is still in the hospital.”

Wang Yang glanced at it and knew in his heart that the hospital's test results were definitely genuine and there was no need to forge them.

"How can you be so sure that it was the herbs from my place that caused his diarrhea? What if he added them himself later? He has a leg problem, how could I possibly prescribe croton oil for him?"

Tiger sneered, "Then you'll have to ask yourself. You're the one who prescribed medicine with croton in it, how would we know? Besides, wasn't the person who dispensed the herbs a young girl? Maybe she made a mistake?"

"No, the person who fetched the medicinal herbs was changed yesterday. She went back to rest. These two people fetched the herbs."

Wang Yang pointed to Xiao Xuan and Lao Wang in front of him. Xiao Xuan was trembling slightly. He had never seen such a scene before. Even though he knew that these people were sent by Boss Wang, he still couldn't help but be afraid.

"Xiao Xuan, don't worry, don't be afraid. Your procedure for getting the medicine yesterday was correct, that's all. We also have CCTV footage here, you can take a look if you don't believe me."

"The surveillance footage is from your premises. What if you've tampered with it?"

Wang Yang chuckled lightly: "What you're saying is really nonsensical. We didn't even know what happened, yet we tampered with the surveillance footage. Wouldn't that mean we deliberately harmed your brother? What deep-seated hatred do we have for him?"

The man was speechless.

"It's definitely your problem. Show me the evidence, or I'll call the police."

"Old Wang, go get the surveillance footage, let's take a look."

Old Wang responded and immediately brought out his computer, finding the surveillance video from yesterday.

Xiao Xuan stood at the back. He knew perfectly well that he was the one who had switched the medicinal herb yesterday. Moreover, he had already manipulated the surveillance footage; the clip he saw now showed Old Wang directly adding a croton seed.
