The meeting room was unusually quiet.

All eyes were on Ye Chen, filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and a hint of barely perceptible wariness.

Ye Chen looked around and noted down everyone's reactions.

Although he came from the mountains, his master taught him not only medical and martial arts skills over the past eighteen years, but also the art of judging people.

He can tell pretty much who has a guilty conscience and who is open and honest with just a glance.

"Everyone, I know you're all very nervous. Anyone would be terrified to hear that someone in the company has poisoned someone. But it's precisely in times like these that we must not lose our composure."

He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and said in a steady voice, "We must unite closely around General Secretary Jiang and do our job well according to his arrangements."

"Let me reassure everyone first. I have figured out the composition and characteristics of the poison that Director Sun was poisoned with. This lipid toxin must be ingested through daily diet over a long period of time to accumulate to a lethal dose. In other words, the person who poisoned him needs to be in continuous contact with Director Sun's food. It's not something that can be done by simply sprinkling a handful of powder into the air."

Operations Director Qian Min's eyes lit up: "Does Deputy Minister Ye mean that the person who poisoned him is inside the R&D department, and someone who has access to Director Sun's food?"

"We can narrow it down a bit more. People who have long-term contact with Director Sun's meals are nothing more than three types: his family, his work assistant, and the staff in the R&D department's break room."

"It's impossible with family. Director Sun's wife passed away three years ago, his daughter is studying abroad, and he lives alone in Jiangcheng. He usually eats all three meals at the company cafeteria," HR Director He Shiyun immediately denied.

"That makes it even simpler. The food in the cafeteria is supplied by the central government. If the poison was put in the cafeteria, Director Sun wouldn't be the only one who would be infected. So the only way to put the poison in the cafeteria is through his personal tea set, water cup..."

Jiang Ruoxi made a decisive decision: "Secretary Wang, seal up all the personal tableware and tea sets in Director Sun's office and send them to a professional institution for testing immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Wang Jingjing turned to go and do it, but Ye Chen stopped her.

"Wait, the testing isn't urgent. What I mean is, everyone, don't panic. Just continue with your work, eat and drink as usual. With me here, the sky won't fall, and the Jiang Group will be safe and sound." Ye Chen sat back down in his chair and crossed his legs.

"what?"

The executives looked at each other in bewilderment. Ye Chen had just spoken so eloquently, how come he suddenly told everyone to eat and drink as usual?

"Vice Minister Ye, aren't you contradicting yourself? How can we work with peace of mind if we know someone poisoned us?" Zhao Kai, the marketing director, was getting anxious.

"Director Zhao, tell me, how long has Director Sun been poisoned?"

"Well... from what you just said, it seems to have accumulated over a long period of time, at least several weeks, right?"

"That's right. So, in the past few weeks, has anyone here experienced any health problems?"

Ye Chen's question stunned everyone. They looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"So the target of the poisoning is very clear: Director Sun. What project is Director Sun currently developing? If this project succeeds, who will be most harmed? If it fails, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

The meeting room fell silent again.

Those present were all shrewd business people, and they instantly understood the meaning behind Ye Chen's words.

"Of course, this is just my deduction and cannot guarantee 100% safety. So starting today, I will provide each of the company's core executives with an antidote pill. This antidote pill is a unique formula from Medicine King Valley and can cure all poisons. Take one pill after meals and continue for seven days. The toxins in the body will be basically eliminated." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Medicine King Valley?"

"What place is that?"

"The legendary Valley of the Medicine King, where life and death can be reversed?"

Ye Chen felt there was no need to explain the necessity of Medicine King Valley to everyone, so he continued, "In addition, I have had Minister He upgrade the monitoring system, adding hidden high-definition cameras that can cover any corner of the company. Security personnel have also increased the frequency of patrols, leaving no gaps."

"Furthermore, I will personally inspect the offices of all the company's senior executives one by one and install toxic warning devices. Once an unknown toxin enters, the device will immediately change color and sound an alarm."

"In addition, the security department will conduct a comprehensive investigation in conjunction with the administration department into the company cafeteria's food procurement channels, the backgrounds of kitchen staff, and the source of tea and coffee beans in the break room, to eliminate all potential risks."

Gudong!Gudong!

Ye Chen picked up the water glass in front of him and took a big gulp.

"So everyone, just do what you're supposed to do. Don't let our opponents laugh at us for making a fool of ourselves in disarray. A few poison needles and you think you can bring down the Jiang Group? Dream on!"

"Gentlemen, if I can save Director Sun, I can protect everyone here. This is not an exaggeration, it is the truth."

"I trust Vice Minister Ye," Jiang Ruoxi said first.

"Vice Minister Ye is right! We are relieved to hear that!"

"Yes, we've all witnessed Vice Minister Ye's medical skills firsthand. With you here, we have nothing to fear!"

"President Jiang, where did you find such a distinguished guest?"

Jiang Ruoxi looked at Ye Chen, who was surrounded by the crowd. This guy was usually carefree and unserious, but when it came to a critical moment, he was more reliable than anyone else and calmed the morale of the troops with just a few words.

His past must be complicated. What kind of past was it? Why did he have such high attainments? Jiang Ruoxi couldn't figure it out.

"Alright, now that Vice Minister Ye has explained the plan clearly, all departments should implement it accordingly." Jiang Ruoxi stood up, regaining her usual cold and dignified demeanor.

"The Security Department will take the lead, with the Administration Department cooperating, the Legal Department following up throughout the process, and other departments cooperating. The mole who poisoned the victim must be found within a week."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, their morale soaring.

In the blink of an eye, only Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi remained in the huge conference room.

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair and stretched languidly: "Wife, how was my performance just now? Wasn't I especially commanding?"

Jiang Ruoxi wanted to slap Ye Chen a few times when she saw his grinning face.

This person can be as steady as a mountain when he's serious, but when he's not, he's like a scoundrel. He switches between these two states so smoothly and seamlessly that it's hard to tell which one is the real him.

"It's alright," she said coldly.

"Just okay? How would you rate the plans I mentioned earlier?"

"The plan is indeed good, and the antidote is genuine?"

"It's absolutely true, genuine Medicine King Valley products, no deception of the young or old, but the cost is quite high. The herbs are all brought from the mountains, and each batch used is one less available. Once this is over, you'll have to reimburse me, honey."

"How much?"

"Not many, the cost of one is probably a little over 30,000."

Jiang Ruoxi quickly calculated that there were more than a dozen executives present, and if each person had seven pills, the cost would be two to three million.

However, for the Jiang Group, which has a market value of hundreds of billions, this amount of money is not even a drop in the ocean, and it is even less significant compared to the core technologies developed by Sun Zhiyuan.

"No problem. I'll have the finance department allocate a separate security fund of five million, which you will have full authority to manage."

"Five million? My wife is so generous!"

Jiang Ruoxi walked up to him, leaned down slightly, and stared at him closely: "Don't be so happy yet. You just said you had a way to find the traitor, not to stabilize morale, right?"

"No, I do have a way."

"Then tell me about it?"
