After Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi returned to their office, the sound of an ambulance siren came from downstairs.

Although it was no longer of much use, Jiang Ruoxi still instructed Sun Zhiyuan to go to the hospital for a full check-up, since his health was a major issue concerning the company's fate.

Sun Zhiyuan was helped to sit on the sofa by several colleagues. Although his face was still a little pale, his breathing had become steady and he was even able to walk independently.

Ye Chen told Jiang Ruoxi that Sun Zhiyuan would recover completely after a short rest and was no longer in any serious condition.

The doctor who rushed to the scene performed a simple electrocardiogram on Sun Zhiyuan and looked at the data on the screen with disbelief.

"Based on the symptom description, this is definitely an acute, large-area myocardial infarction. If the patient is not brought to the hospital in time, the mortality rate exceeds 80%... Are you sure you only performed acupuncture at the scene?"

"It's confirmed, we all saw it with our own eyes! Minister Ye only used a few small silver needles to prick him a few times, in less than five minutes, and then Director Sun recovered." Lin Keke also ran down at some point and stood in the crowd, shouting loudly.

The emergency doctor adjusted his glasses, looking incredulous: "Where is the gentleman who saved the life? Which hospital is he from? Which master of traditional Chinese medicine did he study under?"

"He is not a master of traditional Chinese medicine, nor is he a doctor. He was self-taught in the mountains and never went to university."

Lin Keke told him everything she knew: "Doctor, I hope you'll meet again someday. It's a pity that Minister Ye was called away by President Jiang, and he probably won't be able to come over for a while..."

The emergency doctor's expression became even more complicated. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

With disbelief and disappointment at not seeing him, he had no choice but to ask the nurse to lift Sun Zhiyuan onto a stretcher and take him back to the hospital for further examination.

Before leaving, he looked back several times, his eyes filled with confusion that "this doesn't conform to medical common sense," which was the answer he wanted.

"Honey, I think their goal from the beginning was very clear: to bring down the Jiang Group..."

"These people are truly insidious and utterly inhumane. They can't let innocent people be harmed like this! Don't you think so? Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor; we can't disregard principles!"

"Wife, you're still too young. I grew up in the mountains and I know that people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. This kind of situation will definitely happen again in the future."

Ye Chen is currently in the office, talking nonstop.

Jiang Ruoxi nodded, agreeing with Ye Chen's statement.

Ye Chen got up from the sofa, dusted off non-existent dust from his suit, and was about to return to the security department to continue drinking tea and reading the newspaper when Jiang Ruoxi's voice came from behind him.

"Ye Chen, come with me to the meeting."

"A meeting? I'm just a security guard, what kind of meeting would I need?"

"An emergency meeting of senior management. I suspect there's a mole within the company." Jiang Ruoxi turned around and looked at Ye Chen very seriously.

Is there a mole?

Ye Chen hadn't considered this question yet, but Jiang Ruoxi had, which shows that Jiang Ruoxi is no ordinary person.

"The poisoning of Director Sun is no small matter. The conspiracy against the Jiang Group has already infiltrated its ranks. Since you can identify poison and save lives, you cannot stand idly by in this investigation; you must participate in the entire process."

Ye Chen shrugged and followed.

In the large conference room on the top floor, more than a dozen people were already seated on both sides of the long conference table.

When Jiang Ruoxi pushed open the door and entered, everyone stood up.

Ye Chen glanced at them; he had seen most of these people in their onboarding documents.

For example: Chen Guodong, Director of Finance; Zhao Kai, Director of Marketing; Qian Min, Director of Operations; Zhou Zheng, Director of Legal Affairs; He Shiyun, Director of Human Resources; and several vice presidents in charge of different business lines.

The core management team of the Jiang Group is basically all present.

There was another empty seat to Jiang Ruoxi's right, with a nameplate that read "Director Jiang Jianguo".

After arriving in Jiangcheng, Ye Chen investigated and found that Jiang Jianguo was Jiang Ruoxi's second uncle and the second son of Old Master Jiang. He held 15% of the company's shares, making him the second largest individual shareholder after Jiang Ruoxi.

Jiang Ruoxi sat down in the main seat, removed Jiang Jianguo's place card, and gestured for Ye Chen to sit in the empty seat next to her.

Her arrangement prompted the executives present to exchange meaningful glances.

It was unusual for the deputy director of the security department to attend a high-level meeting, let alone to sit next to the president, a position that He Jianping could never even get close to.

What incredible luck did Ye Chen have to earn such high regard from the CEO?

"Everyone, I've gathered you all here today for two main reasons."

Jiang Ruoxi got straight to the point without much preamble.

"First of all, Director Sun of the R&D department suffered a sudden heart attack in his office this morning. Fortunately, Deputy Minister Ye provided timely assistance and saved his life. He is now out of danger."

A collective gasp filled the conference room, and many people looked at Ye Chen with surprise and curiosity.

Some people felt that it was reasonable for Ye Chen to be sitting next to the president, given his abilities.

"Ladies and gentlemen, but that's not the main point I want to make. During the rescue, Vice Minister Ye discovered that Director Sun had a chronic lipid toxin lurking in his body, meaning he was deliberately poisoned in an attempt to bring down the Jiang Group..."

Jiang Ruoxi paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over each of the attendees present.

"Someone is poisoning key personnel of the Jiang Group. First the R&D director, who's next? Any of you here?"

The meeting room erupted in chaos.

"What? Poisoning?"

"This is outrageous! Who on earth did this?"

"Call the police! We must call the police immediately!"

"Then we won't feel safe at work every day!"

Only then did everyone understand why Jiang Ruoxi had invited Ye Chen from the security department to the meeting, and why he was seated so close to him.

Zhou Zheng, the legal director, pushed up his glasses, his expression somewhat grave: "President Jiang, if this is true, it constitutes intentional homicide. I suggest we immediately seal off all entrances and exits of the company and cooperate with the police in a comprehensive investigation to apprehend the suspect."

"Blocking the investigation of the company would have too great an impact. There are nearly 10,000 people in the company. How can we investigate them? This is likely to alert them. Once the news gets out, the stock price will definitely plummet, and the financing projects we are currently negotiating will also fall through." Qian Min, the director of the operations department, shook her head in opposition.

Marketing Director Zhao Kai also explicitly expressed his opposition: "We currently have no leads. I think it's better to conduct a covert investigation and report it to the police only after we find clues or evidence..."

"Is stock price more important than human lives? Are we not going to investigate without evidence? Are we going to let everyone live in fear every day?"

That's not what I meant...

The argument grew louder and louder. Jiang Ruoxi frowned and was about to speak when Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Strangely enough, when this newcomer, who had only been with the company for two days, raised his hand, the noisy conference room actually quieted down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I say a few words?"

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed as if he were sitting in his own living room drinking tea, but what he said made everyone's hair stand on end.
