Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Questioning_1

Dr. Wang was very aware of his importance to Tao Pharmaceuticals, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if he walked away at this time, "Super Brother No. 2" simply couldn’t be launched on the market. If that happened, billions of investment would have been for naught.

His idea was quite simple, which was to use Tao Donglai against Tao Pinggui.

Although the two were uncle and nephew, they each managed different branches of the family business.

Tao Pinggui presided over Tao’s Commerce Guild, mainly responsible for investment and financial affairs, with liquid assets of tens of billions; his power was enormous.

Tao Donglai was in charge of Tao Pharmaceuticals. Although its market value was also in the hundreds of billions, a lot of money had been poured into R&D and medications.

Tao Donglai had always coveted Tao Pinggui’s Tao’s Commerce Guild, but due to their familial relationship, and because he had not yet taken the position of the Family Head of the Tao Family, he had no chance to act.

But now things were different. There was trouble with Tao Pinggui, and he even mentioned cutting it off for treatment.

Think about it, what kind of presence does the Tao Family hold in Jiangnan City? They are the absolute number one family!

If the person in charge of Tao Corporation’s most profitable Tao’s Commerce Guild was exposed as a eunuch, wouldn’t Tao Corporation’s stock price plummet?

At that point, the loss wouldn’t just be a few billion, it would be tens of billions!

Given the temperament of Tao Wenqiang, the Family Head of the Tao Family, he would absolutely not allow this to happen.

Thus, Dr. Wang was now employing a retreat as advancement, ostensibly wanting to leave, but in fact intending to use Tao Donglai’s knife to cut at his second uncle Tao Pinggui’s flesh.

God damn it, weren’t you being all arrogant just now, Tao Pinggui? Didn’t you want to cripple me?

I’ll make you roll straight off your position in charge of Tao’s Commerce Guild!

Sure enough, just as Dr. Wang had anticipated, upon hearing that he intended to resign and leave, Tao Donglai on the other end of the phone became anxious immediately, "Dr. Wang, please calm down first. Leave this matter to me to handle, I assure you that I’ll come up with a satisfactory solution."

Dr. Wang shook his head, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, but his tone revealed a hint of resignation, "No need, you and Chairman Tao are uncle and nephew, I really don’t want to be the reason for your relationship to sour."

"I’m just a dog raised by your Tao Family; I beg you, Young Master, leave me a way out and let me fend for myself."

This was the second time Dr. Wang mentioned leaving. Tao Donglai frowned deeply over the phone, knowing this matter couldn’t be settled amicably anymore.

Tao Donglai took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and continued speaking into the phone, "Dr. Wang, you are the head of our Tao Pharmaceuticals R&D department. Without you, Tao Pharmaceuticals would surely plummet."

"For my father’s sake, I ask that you stay for the time being."

"As for my second uncle’s actions, I will investigate thoroughly. If it turns out he was being unreasonable, my father will surely handle it justly."

He paused in his tone, then diverted the topic, "By the way, Dr. Wang, you just mentioned that my second uncle barged into the R&D room because there was an issue with ’Super Brother No. 2’?"

"What exactly happened? What’s wrong with him? Is he feeling dizzy, is he vomiting?"

"I remember you previously mentioned that the medication had side effects only for patients with liver function issues..."

Upon mentioning "Super Brother No. 2," Dr. Wang’s face became solemn all of a sudden.

From earlier until now, he was completely baffled as to why Tao Pinggui had that problem, especially one so severe.

Was it because of the medication, or an issue with Tao Pinggui’s physiology?

Whether the former or the latter, if this wasn’t clarified, "Super Brother No. 2" absolutely couldn’t be launched!

After a moment of silence, Dr. Wang recounted everything he had seen with Tao Pinggui, without leaving out any details.

When it came to the part where Tao Pinggui ordered his bodyguard to break his own arm, Dr. Wang nearly gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"You’re saying that there’s a problem with my second uncle’s... area?"

Over the phone, Tao Donglai’s voice was indiscernible; it was unknown whether it carried concern or delight, or perhaps both.

Dr. Wang nodded, speaking in a deep voice, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The area was covered with purple spots, abnormally swollen and oozing pus."

"Chairman Tao personally told me that the hospital’s solution was amputation or it could be life-threatening."

"Additionally, he came to me for ’Super Brother No. 2’s’ oral solution, saying he wanted to take it for testing. I pretended to agree, entered the lab, and locked the door before calling you, Young Master..."

Thud thud thud!

Just then, there came intense knocking from outside the glass door.

Dr. Wang looked up and saw two bodyguards brought by Tao Pinggui, using fire extinguishers to desperately smash at the glass door.

Thankfully, the door, designed with bulletproof material costing millions, didn’t show any signs of shattering even after a good while of pounding.

"Young Master, Young Master! Hurry and save me!"

Dr. Wang was scared; he whooshed under a lab bench, holding the phone as he said, "Chairman Tao is trying to break in..."

Tao Donglai sighed, aware that he needed to intervene.

After hanging up, he glanced at his brother who was still in the examination room, and then called Tao Pinggui.

"Hello, second uncle, it’s me, Donglai. I heard that second uncle returned to our R&D center, I am wondering what happened?"

Over in the lab, Tao Pinggui frowned as the phone rang. Donglai couldn’t have chosen a worse time to call, it had to be Dr. Wang snitching.

Recalling the exchange they had just before he left, Tao Pinggui felt uneasy.

Back then, Tao Donglai had assured him there were absolutely no side effects, yet now his lower body was in such a state.

Moreover! Even Dr. Wang had admitted, "Super Brother No. 2" did indeed have side effects for patients with liver diseases.

With this in mind, Tao Pinggui suppressed his anger and spoke sternly, "Donglai, tell me honestly, does ’Super Brother No. 2’ have any side effects or not!"
