It was still the same clinic, and the same doctor.
The two test results showed that the Ginseng Soup contained a large amount of sedative components, and the traditional medicine had a lot of antibiotics added!
Most of the time, it was my mother-in-law who took care of me. This woman was truly toxic; she disregarded her daughter's happiness and shamelessly poisoned her son-in-law!
They were mother and daughter, and I needed to gather concrete evidence before I could tell Jiang Xiaoli about this.
Brother Xiong was the guy who used to sleep in the bunk above mine; he was also an IT genius. After graduating, he worked for two years as a "mystery shopper," then became a professional "mystery person," engaging in activities that involved prying into others' privacy. Yet he often boasted about his role in upholding justice.
Listening to me vent my frustrations, Brother Xiong angrily smashed a cup, exclaiming, "Damn it, this is too much!"
Jiang Xiaoli returned just in time for my birthday. Brother Xiong came over to celebrate, bringing several gifts: a lifelike Eternal Flower, a lively Cartoon Figurine, and even a beautiful shelf for the bathroom. You wouldn't believe it; the cartoon panda could tell time, sing, forecast the weather, and even interactively answer questions with voice commands. The Eternal Flower hung on the living room wall, vibrant through all seasons with a rich fragrance. There was also a stunning Mobile Charm said to be from Korea, which Jiang Xiaoli attached to her phone.
Although I didn't concern myself much with the company's affairs, I was still the Legal Entity. My wife reported back to me: "We just secured another big client..."
I felt a bit flustered and simply replied, "You handle it."
She casually mentioned, "A few people have left the company."
Right now, nothing mattered more than what was happening to me!
"Out with the old, in with the new; iron-clad barracks but flowing soldiers..." I responded dismissively, "If you need to hire someone, go ahead; just take care of it."
More than half a month later, Brother Xiong said he wanted to take me out for a walk. My mother-in-law disagreed: "You can't stop taking your Ginseng Soup and traditional medicine; how can you go out?"
Jiang Xiaoli said, "A grown man confined at home will become useless. Just prepare the Ginseng Soup and traditional medicine in bags; heat them up when it's time to drink."
Brother Xiong took me to an office building where two unmarked rooms turned out to be this "mystery person's" office. Besides computers, there were many strange electronic gadgets.
Brother Xiong opened a folder on the computer and said ominously, "You don't have much time left!"

The contents of the folder nearly blinded me.
My old mother-in-law was not an ordinary woman; she had been inciting Jiang Xiaoli to "save private money" from the company's accounts.
I called the accountant: "Sister Liu, has there been anything major happening at the company while I've been away?"
Sister Liu had been with me since I started my business and was absolutely loyal. Whenever there was any disturbance at the company, she would inform me immediately. I hadn't heard from her for some time and thought everything was peaceful; little did I know that dark currents were stirring beneath the surface.
"Manager Hu... I... I'm no longer working at the company!"
"What?" I exclaimed in shock.
" sister Hu, is there something at the company that you're unhappy about? You can just tell me directly. You've been with the company for a long time; how could you just leave like that?"
"You don't know?"
"I don't know what? Just speak clearly!"
"Manager Jiang arranged for an accountant named Jia to come in... and fired me! A while ago, she asked me to make a large transfer to a company called Yunding. I was going to call you to confirm, but she found an excuse to fire me..."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Manager Jiang said she was acting on your orders and announced that during this time, since you were unwell, she had full authority to handle company matters!"
I had said that before, but she couldn't just do this, could she?
" manager Hu, is your official seal with you or with Manager Jiang?"
"My seal is in the drawer of my study."
"That's good... Financial transfers can still proceed without your signature and seal! We don't have any business dealings within the province, but the company Manager Jiang wanted me to transfer money to is not only within the province but also has a registered capital of only 500,000, and the transfer amount is enormous..."
A chill ran down my spine. "How enormous?"
"A one-time transfer of 5 million!"
"No way, I have to go home!" After hanging up on Sister Liu, I anxiously turned to Brother Xiong.
"It's too late!" Brother Xiong casually opened an audio file.
—That beautiful Mobile Charm of Jiang Xiaoli's turned out to be a listening device.
