Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 267 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

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 places Grandpa passed were becoming 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 related 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 dollars 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. A large 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couldn't be withdrawn without an appointment.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 dollars. 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't come. 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 black 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 dollars 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 dollars 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 dollars 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 dollars 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 the latter 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 explained, "Hello,

our medicines have always been strictly regulated. 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 pharmaceutical company. 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 according 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 surveillance 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 surveillance footage. In the end, she found that the

surveillance footage was blank from five to six in the morning and was full of snowflakes.

If only one surveillance 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 surveillance 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 the computer 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?"
