340 The Welcome Dinner

“It’s not just Linlin. There are many other children here with the same condition.”

Qiao Yue’s words made Lin Jie widen her eyes.

Lin Jie had encountered a similar situation before, so she immediately understood what Qiao Yue was trying to say.

If a child in an orphanage like this was infected with this disease, the biggest suspect could only be the person in charge, the director.

!!
“This girl also told me that the director had secretly pocketed medicine for the blood disease. They were meant for the children, but the director had probably sold them.”

Lin Jie frowned.

This kind of medicine for blood diseases was not cheap in C-Country. It’s a huge expenditure when it came to Hanshan City.

If he were to sell this medicine, he could buy a few houses with sea view.

“This director really deserves to die. Has the fifth young master thought of any way to bring him down?” Lin Jie asked.

Qiao Yue frowned. She had thought of a way, but it might cause trouble.

“Lin Jie, take a few female doctors with you to examine each child and find out how many children are suffering from the same sexually transmitted disease. Give me a list of medicine and equipment you’ll need. I will deal with the director.”

Lin Jie nodded and immediately went to organize things.

Qiao Yue took out her phone and sent a message to Chu Jia.

“Help me look into the transaction records in Hanshan City for blood disease drugs. See if there are any transaction records under the name of Lin Hui.”

“Okay.”

Chu Jia replied quickly.

There were no transaction records under Lin Hui’s name, but there were many transaction records for blood disease drugs under his wife’s name.

“But boss, this Zhang Yan is no simpleton either. She owns a pharmaceutical company. It’s not impossible to say that those drugs came from her company.”

“What about real estate?”

“Zhang Yan has properties in both D-Country and C-County, but she doesn’t have any here.”

D-Country and C-Country were much more developed than K-Country. The real estate prices were also much more expensive than in K-Country. If she did not own properties in K-Country but in other countries, it meant that Zhang Yan was deliberately hiding her wealth.

This husband-and-wife team were true demons.

Very soon, Qiao Yue met the demon couple at the welcome dinner organized by Lin Hui.

Zhang Yan was a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman. She wore an expensive mink coat, and her hair was held up neatly into a top knot secured with two gold hairpins.

The food on the table was also quite exquisite, completely different from the food the children in the welfare home had.

“You must be the fifth young master of the Qiao family. Welcome to Hanshan City. I heard that you were trapped in the snow yesterday. I’m really sorry. I should have gone to pick you up, but I was busy with my company. Otherwise, I would have gone.”

Qiao Yue sized up Zhang Yan with cold eyes.

She was very kind when she spoke, and even served them food. “I’m running a pharmaceutical company now, and some of the medicine is for the children. But I’ll be honest with you, I don’t like my husband doing charity work. I’m a businesswoman.”

She paused. “These children are like bottomless pits. They never stop. A lot of the money I earn has been used to treat the children’s illnesses. My husband and I don’t even have our own house in Hanshan.”

This sentence further confirmed Qiao Yue’s suspicion.

She saw that Qiao Jing was frowning as well.

“But the children are all very cute.”

“Yeah, but because of these children, Lin Hui and I haven’t had our own kids yet.” Zhang Yan looked at Qiao Jing. “Young masters Qiao, if you’re interested, we can talk about cooperation. I know that the Qiaos also own a pharmaceutical company. We can grow our businesses together.”

“We are not in the market for a partner now.” Qiao Yue said.

Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue, not understanding why she suddenly spoke.

Qiao Yue had never interfered with the family business.

For Qiao Yue to reject Zhang Yan so directly, there must be some kind of grudge between them.

“But Mrs. Lin, I do have something that I would like you to hear.”

Qiao Yue took out her phone. Voices of children were playing on her phone, but after being put through a voice changer.

“The director would do those things to me like the uncles and aunties do on TV. He would kiss me on the lips and there.”

“After the director took sister Chengcheng away, she never returned.”

Zhang Yan’s expression suddenly changed. She looked at Lin Hui sharply and said, “What is this?”
