Chapter 267
Grandpa’s movement track showed that after leaving the Parks residence, he had been heading all the
way to the suburbs. He was still moving. The ces Grandpa passed were bing more and more
remote. Grandpa was already out of the western suburbs now. Julian narrowed his eyes dangerously.
He picked up his phone and quickly sent a message to Grandpa’s phone: [I’ll pay the ransom. Give me
some time to raise cash. I want to video call him now.] There was a beep.
Julian got an instant reply: [You haven’t even given me a single cent. Why are you asking for so much?
Do you not know the rules?] He squinted and sent another message: [I’ll only take a look and confirm
that it’s my grandpa. After seeing that he’s safe, I’ll do whatever you ask.] There was no reply. Julian
immediately asked the driver to get out of the car. Then Julian drove toward the western suburbs. He
was afraid that the driver would not drive properly.
He would, after a while, try his best to change to an inconspicuous car on the road. While driving, he
called Trevor. “Something happened to my grandpa. I would like you to go to Caretech Pharmaceutical
Company to protect Annalise now. Be fast.” He was afraid that Grandpa’s matter was rted to
Annalise’s. He would feel more at ease if Trevor could protect Annalise. Trevor said, “I’ll go
immediately.” After calling Trevor, Julian called Simon. “Get 7.5 million dors in cash as soon as
possible.”
When hearing Julian speak in an anxious tone, Simon didn’t dare to say anything else. He replied
directly, “All right. I’ll send some people out to get the money immediately.” The bank had its own rules.
Arge amount of cash couldn’t be withdrawn without an appointment. Simon could only mobilize the
employees in such a way that they went to different bank branches and each withdrew tens of
thousands of dors. There would be no problem, for there were a lot of people. Julian was about to
call Grandpa’s cell phone again when it video called him first. Grandpa appeared in the video.
His mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth and there was a rope tied around his body. As soon as he
saw Julian in the video, he immediately shook his head and signaled Julian not to listen to the
kidnapper. The next moment, a hand reached out to the video and pulled the cloth out of Grandpa’s
mouth. Grandpa could speak again. He said anxiously, “Julian, don’te. Don’t worry about me…
Ugh…” The next moment, his mouth was gagged with the cloth again. A male voice cursed, “Old man,
don’t push it. If you keep nagging, I’ll cripple you.”
Julian’s voice was cold and bloodthirsty. “Don’t touch my grandpa. He’s not in good health. Don’t tie
him up. His body will bruise…” The male kidnapper said rudely, “You should know this is kidnapping,
okay? Do you think I have invited the old man here as a guest? Prepare the money quickly, or I’ll kill
him.” Júlian could only hear the man’s voice but couldn’t see him. The next moment, the camera went
ck and the video call was cut off. Julian’s heart tightened with the interruption of the video. Now, he
confirmed that Grandpa had really been kidnapped. He could have 7.5 million dors in cash prepared
to redeem Grandpa. He would punish these bad guys twice as much in the future. He drove on.
Soon, he saw a small pickup. He overtook it and stopped it. The pickup driver was stunned. He felt
unhappy at once. When he saw Julian get out of the car and walk to his car window, he stuttered, “Sir, I
have been driving properly. I didn’t hit your car…”
“I’ll rent your pickup for 16,000 dors for a day!” said Julian. “Huh? W-what?” The driver couldn’t
believe what he was hearing. “I’ll rent your pickup for 16,000 dors for a day!” repeated Julian. “Okay,
okay, thank you!” The driver quickly pushed open the door and got out. Julian was his benefactor. Not
only could he rent the pickup to Julian for a day, but he could also give it to Julian! Having transferred
16,000 dors to the pickup driver, Julian got into the pickup. Then he drove the pickup toward the
western suburbs.
As he drove, he asked Henry what thetter was doing now. Julian could hear extremely strong wind
from Henry’s phone. Henry said, “Julian, I’m driving. I’m about to reach Caretech Pharmaceutical
Company. Don’t worry, I’ll handle the incident well. I won’t let Annalise be bullied.” Caretech
Pharmaceutical Company. The people from the Drug Administration found a batch of problematic
medicines in the warehouse. Chloe hurriedly exined, “Hello, our medicines have always been strictly
regted. It’s absolutely impossible for there to be a quality problem. I don’t know why such a thing has
happened. Please give us some time to conduct an investigation.”
One of the people from the Drug Administration said seriously, “The problem now is that it’s we instead
of you who will conduct an investigation! If the quality of your medicines had been good, why would
these problematic medicines have been found in the warehouse? Did we bring them into the
warehouse to set you up?” Chlee immediately said, “No, no, that’s not what I mean. Of course, these
medicines can’t have been brought over by you. What I mean is that we need to investigate our staff
thoroughly.” That person became even more serious. “Whether there was a problem with your
production, or the medicines were swapped by somebody due to mismanagement, the consequence
now is that someone has already had an adverse reaction after taking your medicines.
“We will now strictly follow the procedures. to close down your pharmaceuticalpany. We will also
thoroughly investigate how many medicines are problematic and how many problematic medicines
have been put on the market. “At that time, you will be punished ording to the incident’s severity
and its impact on society. The punishment includes, but not limited to, fines. If the incident is extremely
bad, somebody will be handed over to the police station.” Chloe had never experienced anything like
this before and felt a little scared.
Annalise was now desperately typing on the keyboard to restore the destroyed surveince footage.
Caretech Pharmacéutical Company had been operating for so many years, but there had never been
any problems with its medicines. Now that problematic medicines had been discovered in the
warehouse, someone must have tampered with them. Annalise’s first reaction was to check the
surveince footage. In the end, she found that the surveince footage was nk from five to six in
the morning and was full of snowkes.

If only one surveince camera had been broken, it could have been considered to be malfunctioning.
However, in the huge warehouse, there were more than 30 cameras, and seven of them had no
footage at the same time. This was definitely a man-made incident. What Annalise had to do now was
to restore the destroyed surveince videos. No matter how noisy the environment was, she stayed
calm. Her fingers moved rapidly as she was typing on the keyboard. After writing some programs, she
quickly activated them, and theputer system began to restore the videos. While the system was
restoring the videos, she heard what the person from the Drug Administration had said to Chloe.
Annalise said, “We will surely support your investigation. We will bear the responsibility that we should
bear. The most important thing now is to quickly get the patients cured and strictly control the
problematic medicines that have entered the market.” Hearing Annalise say this, the people from the
Drug Administration all looked at her. Obviously, they hadn’t expected Annalise, who looked like a girl
of 17 or 18 years old, to be able to speak so clearly and logically. One of them asked Chloe, “Who is
she?”
