Chapter 773: 768. Settling One (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Just as Zhang Ran and Zhao Feng were talking, Zhao Kui was quietly sizing up the building outside the main entrance of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, hoping to discern something.

By the time Zhao Feng walked to Zhang Ran's side, he had already quietly left, though he was still somewhat unwilling to give up, or perhaps he still held a sliver of hope, which was why he hadn't rushed away.

Just at this moment, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and he immediately heard a voice by his ear say: "Zhao Kui?"

"Who is it?" Zhao Kui replied subconsciously.

He then saw four men standing behind him.

"From the Supervision Department of Yaotian Pharmaceutical; come with us, there are some matters we need to discuss with you," the leading man said indifferently.

"Supervision Department? I've never heard of it. Don't try to scam me," Zhao Kui's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged.

After saying this, he prepared to leave; he already sensed that if he didn't leave now, he truly wouldn't be able to.

In fact, Zhao Kui had long since made preparations to go abroad; after all, when doing such things, one could never be sure that problems wouldn't arise.

And once a problem appeared, there would be no room for redemption.

As long as he earned enough money before that, he could still live lavishly abroad, or perhaps even more lavishly.

This was the mindset of many people, and of course, many had succeeded.

Especially in recent years, such cases were far too common, so Zhao Kui had long since made his preparations.

It was just that he hadn't expected things to come to a head so quickly, which caught him off guard.

However, while he wanted to leave, the others wouldn't let him.

One of them immediately blocked his path and said: "Zhao Kui, things have already reached this point, there is no need to keep playing dumb."

"Besides, your younger brother Zhao Tong has already been arrested for kidnapping and murder; don't you want to see him? Or are you saying you have nothing to do with this matter? You don't know about this?"

Zhao Kui's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly cursed, "How ruthless!"

They had pinned the charge of kidnapping and murder directly on him; no one could bear such a charge, but from this, he could also confirm Zhang Ran's determination in this matter.

"Sorry, you have the wrong person. My brother is named Zhao Tong, but he is at work right now; I don't know what you are talking about," Zhao Kui said with an unmoved expression.

"Also, what are you trying to do? If you keep blocking me, I'm calling the police."

"Calling the police?" The leader smiled mockingly, "If you have the guts, go ahead and call the police. By the way, if you confess everything you know now, it could still count as rendering meritorious service to atone for your crimes."

"Also, I forgot to tell you, your brother hasn't been sent to the police station yet; he is just being held by our people."

"If you don't come with us, then the next moment we will send him to the police station, and at that point, he will truly have no chance left. I believe you also know what his fate will be," the leader said indifferently.

If one listened superficially, his words seemed to be telling Zhao Kui that as long as he cooperated well, he could render meritorious service, or perhaps there was even the possibility of letting bygones be bygones.

But if one thought about it carefully, his words actually guaranteed nothing; they were merely a form of manipulation.

Zhao Kui saw through this tactic at a glance; after all, he was a man who specialized in such things.

Zhao Kui said with an unchanging expression: "I really don't know what you are talking about. If my brother really broke the law, then just send him to the police station; why are you pestering me?"

Hearing him say this, the leader suddenly laughed, laughing quite happily.

Zhao Kui had an even worse premonition in his heart.

"Alright, take him away; we've gotten what we needed," the leader said with a wave of his hand.

As for taking him by force, that was simple for them; the reason they had wasted so many words on him was just to bait Zhao Kui into saying those things.

"What are you doing? Do you know that this is against the law?" Zhao Kui shouted immediately.

However, this place was an industrial park, and since it was working hours, there was basically no one in the vicinity.

"This isn't against the law; because you are suspected of internal corporate crimes, our company is just inviting you to assist in an investigation," the leader said, then ignored him.

Although doing this was a bit of a minor hassle, that was all it was, and since it was Zhang Ran who had them do it, it proved that there was no problem at all.

In a warehouse, He Yong looked at Zhao Tong, "Still playing tough? Not talking?"

Zhao Tong looked at He Yong, "I don't know what you mean. I just wanted to get some money to spend; my older brother is a high-level executive at Yaotian, how could he possibly know about such things?"

Zhao Tong had a bit of a street-tough spirit and did not immediately sell out his older brother.

"Heh, you're quite loyal, but your brother doesn't think the same way. Take a look," He Yong said expressionlessly, while simultaneously taking a tablet from the side and starting to play a video on it.

This video was the scene of Zhao Kui being questioned just moments ago.

When he heard Zhao Kui say, "It has nothing to do with me, let them send Zhao Tong to the police station," Zhao Tong's eyes widened, and bloodshot veins filled his eyes.

He was willing to take the fall himself, but that didn't mean others could do this to him, not even his own older brother.

And for street thugs like him, in many cases, so-called loyalty was just about saving face.

Once they were given a reason, that sense of loyalty would be discarded in an instant.

Now, the reason was placed right in front of him.

Zhao Tong was silent for a long while before finally opening his mouth, and once he started talking, things would be much easier on Zhao Kui's end.

Zhao Tong also exposed everyone involved in the medicinal materials aspect, as well as the suppliers.

He had been heavily involved in the acquisition of medicinal materials, and he was the one who maintained contact with these suppliers.

So as long as he talked, none of these people would be able to run.

He Yong watched Zhao Tong, recorded everything he said, and then sent the content to Zhang Ran.

He Yong didn't actually know what Zhao Kui's attitude toward Zhao Tong was, so he hadn't used real-time monitoring.

However, he wasn't worried; if this didn't work, there were other methods, and if it really came down to it, he wasn't incapable of being ruthless; after all, the person was still in his hands.

"Brother, does this count as rendering meritorious service to atone for my crimes?" Zhao Tong asked with some hope, a completely different person from before.

He Yong said: "You should go ask the police about that."

After saying this, he left; there was still Zhao Kui to deal with, and once Zhao Kui was handled, the middle and lower reaches of this industrial chain would be completely fine.
