Melanie continued to ponder along this line, thinking that if this was indeed a conspiracy involving Daniel and the White Group against Jones Enterprise, they must have further plans. “As soon as our problematic medicine arrives there, they'll proceed to the next step," she mused."I'll immediately contact Quincy Quicksilver to ensure he checks the medicine upon arrival. If there's a problem, we'll promptly send back the affected batch," Mr. Lincoln suggested.Melanie nodded, "However, the medical team's bus isn't fast, and we don't know if those plotting against us will leave us any opportunities. Mr. Lincoln, you should quickly arrange to stock up on these two types of medicine. I'll personally bring the medication over."After a brief hesitation, Mr. Lincoln agreed. "I'll send a few reliable individuals to accompany you.""Good."With decades of experience in the field, Mr. Lincoln had accumulated many contacts. Although gathering these two medicines on short notice presented s
The car had not reached the entrance of the village when the noise of people erupted.It was not a cheerful commotion, but rather one of anger."Jones Enterprise is a scam!""They've given us fake medicine! I've heard that all the medicines brought by the medical team are expired and fake!"Several individuals leading the uproar were causing a stir. Soon, those who were initially in line for treatment and those sitting in the back, listening to the presentation, joined in the growing fury."Hey, is what you're saying true?" someone asked.The young man leading the commotion affirmed the claim. "Would I deceive our people?! I wouldn't betray our kind! The medicines they brought are all expired! Using them could kill us!"The scene instantly became chaotic.Upon hearing the possibility of fatal consequences, people of all ages stood up, unable to tolerate it any longer."These rich folks are only here to deceive the poor folks!""Why do these big city enterprises come here for
Quincy followed Melanie's gaze to the warehouse.In front of the warehouse, someone with a bowed head spoke to the crowd, "No, we carefully checked, none of them are expired.""None of them are expired?""None of them."The person who came out of the warehouse shook their head.Some people were still skeptical and squeezed in to check. Although the locals were not privy to much in terms of education opportunities, they could still understand the expiration dates.These medicines were all recently produced, with a long way to go before the expiration date!"Are you all reassured now?"Melanie and Quincy walked over, passing through the crowd, and stood on a large rock to address the people."I can assure everyone that since its establishment, the mission of Jones Enterprise Medical has always been benevolence and compassion, to heal and save lives! Jones Enterprise will never betray this mission!"Melanie's clear voice silenced the surrounding noise."Everyone, calm down and
Melanie got into the car, and at the same time, William got out of it.There were only two of them in the car."President Morgan. Why are you here?" Melanie felt a strange sense of eeriness witnessing Jeffrey in this remote mountainous area.During the pause, Jeffrey spoke, "We agreed to go home. Why didn't you?""Huh?" Melanie widened her eyes. Was it just because of this? He would not come all the way here for such a reason, would he?"Does President Morgan have something to discuss with me?" she asked."No, I just happened to come over to inspect the mountainous areas we've supported. Heard you were nearby, so I stopped by," Jeffrey said, lowering his dark gaze, and avoiding eye contact with her."Oh," Melanie replied, glancing at his casually crossed legs. She pursed her lips, hesitating but choosing to hold back her thoughts."Speak your mind!" Jeffrey impatiently demanded."Your legs..." Melanie began."Do you think with someone like Dr. Noah at home, my legs can't be h
"You're tired, go to sleep first."Jeffrey, seemingly understanding the implicit message in her eyes said, "The mountain area is not very safe at night. They will take turns to keep watch."Implicit in his words was that she would have one tent to herself, Jeffrey would have his own, and the other four men would take turns resting in pairs.Melanie quickly grasped the situation, and her tense nerves relaxed, "I'm not sleepy yet. Let's warm up by the fire first."The fire was burning vigorously.The Morgan Group's bodyguards were no joke. They managed to find a lot of suitable materials for burning, perhaps prepared well before they came to the mountainous area.Jeffrey sat by the fire.Melanie initially wanted to sit opposite him, but she found that due to the wind direction, the other side was impossible to sit on. So, she obediently sat on a stone next to him.As she folded her legs and sat down, she could not help but let out a groan.Jeffrey's gaze suddenly flickered to he
Melanie instinctively crossed her arms over her chest in surprise, as she looked at Jeffrey who had just entered the tent."Get out quickly! The nearby mountains are unstable! It's dangerous!" Jeffrey said.Melanie took a moment to recover and then hurriedly followed him out of the tent. It turned out that the previous shaking was a sign of a landslide."President, the road ahead is still impassable by car. We can only go on foot," William reported, returning with a somewhat uneasy expression, glancing at Melanie from time to time.Jeffrey also looked at her. "How's your injury?""Not a problem," Melanie decisively replied.William, looking at the hesitation in the president's eyes, approached. "Madam, we can carry you."Melanie could not help but laugh. She was not that delicate. "I could walk normally yesterday without treating the wound, and besides, I've already bandaged it last night."As she spoke, she efficiently packed her backpack. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The men appeared rather plain, and the woman who seemed increasingly weak stood out oddly. Melanie silently considered them. "Are you from Serenity Ridge Village?"The men nodded, "And you?"Melanie briefly explained their identities, emphasizing that her father was Chairman Jones, who had been supporting Serenity Ridge Village. Only then did the men lower their guard, speaking more casually."So, you're the benefactor's daughter! No wonder you're so kind. It's really unfortunate for us. We went to the county for some business and didn't expect heavy rain on the way back. Our car broke down, and we walked for a day and night without food or drink. If we hadn't met you, we might not have made it home."Melanie nodded in agreement, "We were also stranded last night due to the rain. We want to return to the neighboring village, but the road is blocked and difficult to traverse. We're still hesitating.""Then why not come back to our village first? In a couple of days when the weather
The sobbing of the woman resonated, trembling and urgent, "I was abducted. I know you're not locals. Please, take me away from here. I want to go home."Seeing Melanie, she rushed forward, desperately grabbing her hand, "Please, save me. I know you want to save me."Melanie motioned her to sit down, and asked with caution, "How did you escape?""They've been giving me drugs these days, making me weak and unable to speak. Thank you for changing the water. That's how I could escape. Their family is drinking now, and tonight they want to marry me to a mentally challenged man."The woman cried as she spoke but in a more subdued manner. "I don't have much time. They said someone would come to do my makeup later. What should I do?"In this territory of the locals, they could not confront them directly. Time was tight, and the situation was tricky. Melanie furrowed her brow.Thinking that Melanie might be unwilling to help, the woman, spoke to her in desperation. "I'm begging you. My fa
