Chapter 1820 Humans can only walk steadily if they have two legs.
Qisheng Pharmaceutical's rooftop office, heavy curtains shut out the outside noise, leaving only cigarette smoke swirling in the dim light.
Sun Qisheng nestled in his executive chair, listening to the ghostly report from the person in the shadows.
"Boss Sun, we've found a new supplier!" The man in the shadows spoke with undisguised smugness. "They've ordered a batch of incubators and chromatography columns from Donghai, and they're expected to arrive in Yanjing in a couple of days!"
"What is that?" Sun Qisheng flicked his cigarette ash, frowned, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Sun, these are petri dishes and similar incubators to those in your factory!"
"Heh!" Hearing this, Sun Qisheng's lips curled into a sneer. "Damn, Li Xiangnan does have some ability, managing to find such high-tech stuff! What are you planning to do? Just take action directly? Don't get caught!"
The person in the shadows gave a cold laugh, his face expressionless, only his icy tone revealing that he was still a man, "A direct attack wouldn't suit my personality. This time, I'm going to give him a slow and steady taste!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Qisheng leaned forward slightly and said, "I trust you to get things done. Just go ahead and do it!"
A sickly grin gradually spread across his face. He took a sip of expensive Pu'er tea, his lips curling into a smile as if he had already tasted the fruits of victory. "We'll let Li Xiangnan slowly die from this endless investigation! He thinks he's capable? Haha, I'll make sure he has no way to use his strength. Let's see how long he can keep that face!"
After saying this, he seemed to see Li Xiangnan frustrated and scratching his head in frustration after failure, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.
The person in the shadows nodded and prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, Sun Qisheng stood up and called out to him, "Brother He, not that I'm being nosy, but I still want to ask what you're planning to do..."
"Boss Sun!" The man in the shadows spoke with a hint of anger, but still coldly, "An ordinary highway toll collector plus a bribe from the epidemic prevention station—no one will notice. It's all taken care of. Don't worry! If I don't do a good job for you, I won't be able to explain myself when I get back!"
"Brother He, thank you!" Sun Qisheng clasped his hands in thanks, took out two packs of cigarettes from the drawer, and personally stuffed them into the other man's pocket before nodding to indicate that he could leave.
Hearing the footsteps fade away, he grabbed the phone on the table and went out, saying, "Tell Sun Yiping to come to my office right now!"
The internal phone call was very fast, and soon there was another person in the office.
"You go follow Brother He right now and see what he's planning to do! Report back to me!"
Sun Yiping's face showed surprise, and he said in astonishment, "Brother, he's one of their men, wouldn't this be..."
Sun Qisheng's expression turned cold. "Hmph, I don't trust anyone. Who knows if he'll cause trouble or do something I'm not prepared for? You really think they're good people? Helping me? I don't believe in free lunches. Go now!"
"Yes!"
……
A few days later.
The specialized constant temperature incubator and chromatography purification column ordered by Li Xiangnan from a precision instrument factory in Donghai are about to arrive, and Wang Defa was responsible for purchasing them.
These are key pieces of equipment used in the production of snake venom serum for culturing cells and separating and purifying active ingredients, requiring extremely high precision and purity.
On the way back from Donghai, Wang Defa, Jiang Qitao, and Qiao Henwan escorted the vehicle smoothly all the way to Yanjing.
Qiao Henwan was driving the car, her beautiful face covered in sweat. Jiang Qitao kept wiping away the sweat with a handkerchief for her. Seeing that she was a little nervous, she pressed down on her hand holding the steering wheel and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, Defa has arranged everything!"
Wang Defa, sitting in the back, shifted his gaze from the back to the car interior, glanced at Qiao Henwan in the rearview mirror, and chuckled, "Why do you seem to be talking less and less as we get closer to Yanjing? This isn't like you, Henwan!"
"The things in that car behind are very important to our factory, to Li Xiangnan, and to us. I don't want anything to happen to them!" Qiao Henwan said solemnly, still with a hint of worry.
"No, I promise you!" Wang Defa gently patted the shoulder of the person in the front seat.
"We're almost at the epidemic prevention station!" Qiao Henwan turned her head and glanced at the landmark.
Wang Defa opened his notebook and glanced at it. "Just drive straight ahead, no one will stop us!"
“But…” Qiao Henwan glanced again at the large truck following ahead.
"It's alright! Defa is all prepared!" Jiang Qitao comforted him, her tone full of trust in Defa.
"Stop the car! Stop the car! Submit for inspection!"
Suddenly, a toll collector's shout came from ahead, and five or six vehicles, including the car carrying the three people, were stopped.
Then staff from the epidemic prevention station began inspecting each vehicle.
"Is that car in front yours?" the staff member asked.
"Yes, what's wrong, comrade?" Wang Defa asked, lighting a cigarette.
"We haven't seen your equipment before. We need to inquire with the East China Sea side and go through customs. It will take about half an hour. You can rest under the tent over there. Someone will come to call you when you're done!"
“But the car behind us…” Qiao Henwan immediately tried to refute in her nervousness.
"Okay, comrade!" Wang Defa quickly pulled her behind him and gave her a wink.
The three walked to the bottom of the tent and watched helplessly as an identical truck drove away behind them.
Half an hour later, the three got into the car and continued to escort the truck back to Beijing.
When they arrived at the pharmaceutical factory construction site, Li Xiangnan was already waiting there in the distance.
"Damn it, Little Li, luckily I'm smart enough to use the trick of switching the baby with the baby, otherwise we would have been killed!"
As soon as Wang Defa got out of the car, he started complaining to Li Xiangnan.
"You've worked hard!" Li Xiangnan came over and patted him on the shoulder, then frowned and asked, "How did they do this?"
Wang Defa lit a cigarette and looked at the fake truck following behind him.
"The person behind that was indeed incredibly powerful. They managed to bribe the dispatcher in the Donghai Logistics chain to obtain accurate transportation information and vehicle characteristics. They then arranged for the toll collectors on the national highway to stop my truck, which I had prepared as a smokescreen, at the animal disease prevention station checkpoint in the Yanjing area."
After saying this, Wang Defa chuckled, peeked into the factory, and asked, "How's the real product coming along?"
Li Xiangnan yanked open the truck bed and laughed, "Unloading is already underway!"
Wang Defa helped him jump onto the truck. "Let's see what those guys did!"
Qiao Henwan finally relaxed completely, wiping the sweat from her forehead: "I was so nervous the whole way here, afraid that Defa's trick would give him away!"
Li Xiangnan turned to look at her and smiled, "I might have been foolish before, doing things that would put me at a disadvantage, but now, experience tells me that there are advantages to having a plan for everything. Only by walking on two legs can one walk steadily!"
"Here you go!" Jiang Qitao tossed two pairs of gloves over from the side.
Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa put on gloves and squatted down in front of the two model machines, examining them carefully. The more they looked, the more serious their expressions became.
"The person who made the move is a master!"
Qiao Henwan and Jiang Qitao exchanged a glance and immediately became curious.
"What do you mean, Xiang Nan?"
