Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 867

Chapter 867: Chapter 867: The Drug

Lin Zhiyi glanced at Gong Chen and said disdainfully, "So you delivered the medicine here."

After speaking, she lowered her head to look at the words on the report.

Growing up, it was her first time encountering words she couldn’t recognize.

The scientific names of those drugs seemed like gibberish.

"What does it mean?" she asked Captain Xing awkwardly.

Captain Xing replied, "The colleagues from the laboratory said this is a kind of brain drug."

"That’s not right, the old man has a heart condition. Why would he take a brain drug?" Lin Zhiyi asked in confusion.

"This drug controls the brain, releasing... some kind of substance that makes you feel very spirited, as if your body cannot feel any pain. Generally, it makes you feel very pleased and comfortable, but in fact, it overdraws the body."

"Sounds like some kind of poison," Lin Zhiyi remarked.

"You’re quite right. The lab colleagues spent several days finding fragmented data from some foreign laboratories. This is a research project for auxiliary brain treatment, and the effect isn’t stable. But someone used it for the wrong purpose, becoming more addicted the more they take it, until they are fully dependent or overdraw their body and die. It’s said that this laboratory has stopped the research, but of course, they might have simply changed their name and continued the research."

After all, abroad, even if they want to contact the relevant parties, they ignore it.

So it can only be speculated based on currently collected information.

The drug is indeed used for treatment, relieving patients’ pain to actively cooperate with doctors.

But this medicine is certainly not a domestic product.

Captain Xing said, "In any case, this medicine should not be taken excessively. Otherwise, even if the old man has a heart problem, it would be hard to detect, by then..."

Gong Chen pondered, "By then, if something happens to him, it would only be determined as death by heart disease, and no one would suspect the cause of his death."

Memories from Lin Zhiyi’s past life resurfaced in her mind.

Back then, she visited the Gong Mansion only a few times.

Yet every time, she saw Gong Yao urging the old man to take his medicine.

Everyone would think the new housekeeper was very diligent.

Perhaps Gong Yao had long intended to get rid of the old man.

Thinking about it, Lin Zhiyi furrowed her brows.

She asked, "Something’s not right. The old man is the one who favored Gong Yao the most in the Gong Family. What good would it do him if something happened to the old man?"

"If the old man became addicted, what would Gong Yao want?" Gong Chen guided her.

"Drug addiction would leave the old man with only one path—death. Gong Yao would want... the will!"

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in shock.

Gong Chen nodded, "Most of what I have is the wealth left by my mother. Even if I inherited the company, many shares still remain in the old man’s hands. If Gong Yao manages to get the old man to alter the shares, he could even steal Second Brother’s shares, thus suppressing me and controlling the Gong Family and the Gong Group."

After hearing this, Lin Zhiyi suddenly understood why Gong Yao wanted to get involved in Yang Jingwei’s business. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

She said, "Even if he had the will, his ability is insufficient, and his connections aren’t as wide as yours, so he needs a lot of money to win people’s hearts."

"Yes." Gong Chen nodded, "He wants money and power. And Yang Jingwei provided him with the fastest way to get money."

The paper in Lin Zhiyi’s hand fell onto the table.

She took a deep breath: "It’s terrifying. How many people will suffer because of these interests and transactions?"

Captain Xing quickly comforted her, "So now we need to not only catch Yang Jingwei but also deal with Gong Yao."

Lin Zhiyi hesitated and looked at Gong Chen: "Then what about the old man? He was hospitalized for a heart condition not long ago."

She wasn’t worried about the old man’s safety but worried that if he died now, it would instead harm Gong Chen.

If Gong Yao and Yang Jingwei gained power, their first task would definitely be to remove Gong Chen.

Truly a troublemaker, yet also long-lasting, isn’t he?

Seeing through Lin Zhiyi’s concern, Gong Chen curved his lips slightly.

He said calmly, "I’ve found a breakthrough."

"What breakthrough?"

"Heart doctor, Albert."

Gong Chen mentioned an unfamiliar name.
