The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 600: WPG's ending wasn't bad? A bitter pill to swallow! Further suggestions to increase production were rejected!

It was nearly midnight.

Melissa, the representative of Nova Pharma in Xia Guo, reported to the police in Shengqing that Alma Waters, the warehouse manager of Nova Pharma's Shengqing branch, had gone missing.

Given that Nova Pharmaceuticals is a foreign-invested enterprise and that Alma Waters is also a Reich national, the Shengqing Police Department acted swiftly.

The Shengqing Police Bureau's operation was almost identical to that of Ye Tianling's team. They also used a mobile phone signal positioning solution and determined that the phone had been abandoned based on Alma's mobile phone signal movement trajectory.

In light of this situation, the Shengqing Police Department began a large-scale screening of Alma's whereabouts through the security monitoring system.

The Shengqing Police Department had far more manpower than Ye Tianling's team. They quickly located Alma's whereabouts and determined that Alma had left Shengqing in a Tesla Model Y.

Based on road network information analysis, the Shengqing Police Bureau deduced that Alma's destination was Tianfu.

Given the well-developed road safety monitoring system, the Shengqing Police Bureau quickly...
To be precise, the Road Police Department contacted the Shengqing Police Station to report the incident where Alma Waters' Tesla Model Y plunged into the Hejiang River from the Hejiang Bridge.

After watching the surveillance video recorded by the road safety monitoring system on Hejiang Bridge, the Shengqing Police Station was unable to determine the specific situation for a while.

Based on the surveillance video captured by the road safety monitoring system, we can first conclude that the Tesla Model Y was speeding before the traffic accident occurred, and by a significant margin.

At the moment the traffic accident occurred, the Tesla Model Y was already traveling at a speed of over 140 kilometers per hour, which is terrifying.

The Shengqing Police Department informed Melissa about the traffic accident involving Alma Waters. Melissa stated unequivocally that the traffic accident Alma encountered was not an accident, but a planned murder.

Although Melissa knew very well that Alma Waters had been silenced, she had no proof!

The Shengqing Police Department and the Road Police Team also tried to salvage the lost Tesla Model Y from the Hejiang River, but the problem was that it could not be salvaged in a short time.

The salvage operation will not be able to remove the Tesla Model Y wreckage from the Hejiang River until the salvage vessel arrives.

Thanks to Nova Pharma's deep pockets and the overnight deployment of salvage vessels, the wrecked Tesla Model Y was salvaged and brought ashore before 8:00 AM on December 23.

The Tesla Model Y that was salvaged was completely unrecognizable, with the entire front end shattered and the battery compartment under the vehicle's chassis in a mess, full of traces of flames.

Alma Waters was incredibly lucky to have her body intact!

At least her face wasn't disfigured; even though it was swollen from being submerged in water, it was still recognizable as Alma Waters.

When Melissa conducted the identification, she recognized her at first glance.

After Irma Waters' identity was confirmed, they began to examine the Tesla Model Y.

However, this Tesla Model Y first crashed into a bridge railing at a speed of over 140 kilometers per hour, then experienced a ternary lithium battery compartment explosion, and was also washed and soaked by river water overnight.

In such a situation, what suspicious points might be left that could be discovered?
After all, the miniature explosive device in the ternary lithium battery compartment was destroyed by the explosion, and the malware in the vehicle's computer was also damaged after all the vehicle's electronic components were soaked in river water.

More importantly, the EDR of this Tesla Model Y has been lost!

The so-called 'EDR' is the 'black box'.

In last year's Tesla electric vehicle out-of-control case, the owner claimed that the brakes failed, but the information recorded in the EDR was not actually like that. In order to avoid the EDR recording data, the technicians of Bright Pharma had already removed the EDR from the connection.

While removing the EDR connection might seem suspicious, the data without EDR can mask much more.

The case has reached a dead end at this point!

The person has been found, but is dead!
The car was salvaged, but there were absolutely no usable clues!
Regarding Melissa's claim of premeditated murder, the key question is: what if no evidence is found?
The police need evidence!
……

It's a little past eight in the morning in Shanghai.

When An Wuyang woke up, Xia Yuqing had already disappeared without a trace; she had to go to school today.

An Wuyang first checked his phone. He had two missed calls from Melissa, three missed calls from Zhu Guanghao, and two missed calls from Li Shiyu.

An Wuyang guessed that there was progress on the matter of Nova Pharmaceuticals. He first called Zhu Guanghao because Zhu Guanghao's father was the top supervisor of the Shengqing Police Department, so Zhu Guanghao would definitely know more about the situation.

Is that why Zhu Guanghao called him more often?

It took Zhu Guanghao about a minute to answer the phone.

"Brother Wuyang, you're finally awake!" Zhu Guanghao said quickly.

An Wuyang immediately asked, "What's the situation now?"

Zhu Guanghao quickly explained the situation, and added at the end, "Brother Wuyang, this matter seems very strange, and it seems that there really is a problem."

"Do you know more about the situation?" Zhu Guanghao asked curiously, feeling that An Wuyang should know more details.

After all, Wugengtian and Nova Pharmaceuticals are partners.

An Wuyang explained, "Nova Pharmaceuticals has been concealing something from your police. They previously obtained a quota of 50,000 nitroglycerin pills from our Wugengtian branch."

An Wuyang recounted the entire situation, adding at the end, "It's possible that this Alma leaked the information, and now she's been silenced by the mastermind behind it all."

"Holy crap!" Zhu Guanghao exclaimed, "How could the nitroglycerin pills cause such a disaster?"

"Brother Wuyang, which company do you think it might be?" Zhu Guanghao asked.

An Wuyang complained, "I think it's useless to say which one is right, since there's no evidence."

"Is it just a guess?" Zhu Guanghao pressed.

An Wuyang considered for a moment before replying, "It's most likely the work of the Bald Eagles, but it's hard to guess which one at the moment."

“This time, the allocation of the heart-saving pills was only distributed between our Xia Kingdom and Europe. The bald eagles didn’t receive any allocation, yet the heart-saving pills are very effective,” An Wuyang added regarding his motives.

"Besides, only the Bald Eagle could do something like this," An Wuyang added, revealing his strong opinion about the Bald Eagle.

Zhu Guanghao seconded, "It seems that only the Bald Eagle could do such a thing."

"How did your police department handle this matter?" An Wuyang asked in return.

Zhu Guanghao responded, "Based on the current clues and evidence, it can only be treated as a traffic accident for the time being, so this case will be temporarily shelved and given a cold treatment."

“Unless we find entirely new evidence, but based on the existing evidence, the bald eagles are very clever,” Zhu Guanghao sighed.

An Wuyang seconded this, saying that the Shengqing Police Department had no way to handle matters without evidence.

After An Wuyang and Zhu Guanghao finished their conversation, he contacted Melissa.

Before the call was answered, Melissa's voice came through first, "Good morning, Ms. An."

An Wuyang responded with a polite greeting first, then asked knowingly, "Have you taken care of your business?"

Melissa quickly responded with details, her account almost identical to Zhu Guanghao's. After Melissa finished speaking, An Wuyang smiled and replied, "This situation isn't bad for you, is it?"

"At least the other side helped you get rid of the traitor!" An Wuyang added.

An Wuyang was perfectly aware that Nova Pharmaceuticals' search for Alma Waters was definitely not because of her disappearance or anything like that; there were only two possible reasons.

First, Nova Pharma hopes to use Alma to find out who is behind this.

Secondly, Nova Pharma will not let the traitor who betrayed them get away with it, and will definitely kill Alma to deter others.

Although the first goal has not been achieved, the second goal has been achieved, so the current outcome is not bad.

In response to An Wuyang's teasing, Melissa sighed, "What a pity."

"Which company do you think is targeting you?" An Wuyang wanted to hear Nova Pharmaceuticals' analysis.

Melissa answered definitively, "It must be one of the Bald Eagles."

“Our primary suspect is Glorious Pharmaceuticals, followed by Abervey Pharmaceuticals, then Johnson & Johnson and East Merck, as well as BMS, Eli Lilly, Amgen, and so on.” Melissa listed one by one the powerful pharmaceutical companies in the Bald Eagle.

Melissa added, "We used special methods to investigate Alma's bank accounts. One of her special accounts received a sum of ten million dollars, but it was transferred out less than ten minutes after her car accident."

“We couldn’t trace the corresponding party behind the transfers because the funds entered the cryptocurrency investment market after being transferred through multiple accounts,” Melissa added.

“This must be why Alma betrayed us,” Melissa added.

An Wuyang asked curiously, "So what's the next step?"

“Your products from Wugengtian have already entered the legal and formalized market in Europe. From now on, we will directly use official channels,” Melissa explained.

"As for this time," Melissa sighed, "to borrow a phrase from your Xia country, this time Nova Pharmaceuticals can only suffer in silence!"

Like a mute eating bitter melon—he has to swallow the bitterness himself!

After all, there is no evidence to show which company stole Nova Pharma's heart-saving pills, so what can Nova Pharma do?

An Wuyang sighed inwardly as well, using this incident to remind himself that even the powerful Nova Pharmaceuticals could be secretly attacked, and he needed to be careful about such things.

After all, what can he do if he gets ambushed and can't find the person behind his back?
It's still just cold salad!

An Wuyang spoke with Li Shiyu one last time, briefly explained the situation, and then the call ended.

The next moment, Musk called, and An Wuyang swiped the screen to answer.

"I heard that 20,000 of Nova Pharma's heart medication pills were stolen?" Musk asked.

An Wuyang asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Musk responded quickly, "Nova Pharma has publicly stated in the gray area that they have lost 20,000 heart pills and offered a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who stole them."

"Isn't it you guys?" An Wuyang asked, half teasing and half probing.

Musk denied it, saying, "It really wasn't us!"

"We are willing but unable to do anything about this," Musk added.

"Who do you think it could be?" An Wuyang probed.

Musk didn't answer that question because he really had someone he suspected!
Musk then changed the subject, "Your 'heart medicine' caused such a big incident in the early hours of the morning, aren't you going to consider producing another batch?"

An Wuyang sighed, "Production is temporarily impossible."

"To tell you the truth, our raw material reserves at dawn are severely insufficient," An Wuyang added.

Musk immediately asked, "Are there enough reserves of two types of happiness?"

"It's barely enough for now," An Wuyang replied.

Musk breathed a sigh of relief. The heart pills weren't something he needed, but the two-joy pills had now become almost a necessity.

"That's great!" Musk exclaimed. "I've discovered that Two Joys is your best product at Five Glances!"

"I've been drinking two bottles of 'Happy' every day lately, and I even feel like I've become more than ten years younger," Musk added.

"That's just an illusion!" An Wuyang joked.

“I know it’s an illusion, but isn’t this kind of illusion pretty good?” Musk responded.

Musk then asked, "You expanded the planting scale of various raw materials at the Tianjingyan base in the early morning. How long will it take for those essential raw materials to mature?"

“Morinda officinalis requires at least five years to mature,” An Wuyang replied first, explaining the growth cycle needed for Morinda officinalis, which contains vitality-restoring factors.

“As for forest ginseng, you know that it takes at least twelve years to grow.” An Wuyang added.

Musk countered, "I remember the ginseng you gave me before. Even though it didn't reach the twelve-year growth cycle, it still contained energy-restoring factors, right?"

"Following this logic, does Morinda officinalis also not require a five-year growth cycle to contain vitality restoration factors?" Musk asked.

An Wuyang answered affirmatively, "It is indeed possible!"

"Then how come you're lacking raw materials?" Musk asked hesitantly.

“You don’t understand the situation with herbal medicine,” An Wuyang replied jokingly.

“Take Morinda officinalis, which contains vitality-restoring factors, as an example,” An Wuyang began to explain to Musk.

The maturation period of Morinda officinalis is not a fixed number. It is usually five years, but it may take six or seven years.

For example, Morinda officinalis propagated by cuttings and Morinda officinalis propagated by seeds have different growth cycles.

In addition, different amounts of sunlight and soil conditions will also affect the time it takes for timber to mature.

Therefore, An Wuyang stated that Morinda officinalis needs at least five years to mature.

“The Morinda officinalis from Tianjing Rock generally enters its mature stage in the fifth year. At this time, more vitality restoration factors can be extracted from each kilogram.” An Wuyang did not provide specific data.

Because the specific data is a trade secret obtained at dawn.

“If Morinda officinalis is harvested in a year when it is not yet mature, its medicinal efficacy will be very poor, and the extracted vitality restoration factor will be quite small. Do you understand this principle?” An Wuyang added.

“This is basic common sense in our Xia Kingdom’s traditional medicine,” An Wuyang added.

It is indeed common knowledge in the field of herbal medicine that the active ingredients in herbal medicines are related to their age!
