Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before long, Pei Rong entered his office. “Yes? Did you want to see me, Deputy Chairman Qin?”
He nodded and stood up from the chair. He walked over and poured Pei Rong a glass of water and said, “I have news that Min Yu is suffering from a relapse.”
Pei Rong raised his head and looked at Deputy Chairman Qin. He had seen this coming, but could not help feeling surprised that they had succeeded so quickly.
“In order to verify this, I need a favor from you.” Deputy Chairman Qin was a cautious man. Even if the intel had come directly from the Min family, he wanted to double-check its authenticity.
Pei Rong promptly caught his drift. “Do you want me to visit him and find out?”
Deputy Chairman Qin glanced at him and shook his head. “No. Your father is a better choice since no one will suspect him.”
Qin Zheng did not know Min Yu personally, but he must be an intelligent man with foresight. Otherwise, the Min family would not have remained in power for so long.
Pei Rong went into a dilemma. He replied awkwardly. “I don’t think he can help.”
Deputy Chairman Qin frowned. “Why not?”
“He’s done with his business in the capital, so he booked a flight home for today,” explained Pei Rong.
He raised his hand and checked his watch. “He ought to be on the flight real soon.”
Even though Pei Rong wanted to work for Qin Zheng, he knew it was a very complicated circle, so he did not want his father to get involved.
Deputy Chairman Qin narrowed his eyes loftily. “Oh really? I was going to give you a promotion after the deed was done. From the looks of it, you aren’t interested in taking a higher position.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he walked back to the desk and sat down without looking at Pei Rong.
Pei Rong clenched his fists as they hung from the sides of his body and looked at Deputy Chairman Qin. He did not expect the deputy chairman to put off his promotion for this. A hesitant look promptly emerged on his face.
After some time, Pei Rong gritted his teeth and said, “I will call him now and find out if he has boarded the flight yet.”
Deputy Chairman Qin just knew that Pei Rong would cave in. He raised his head and said, “I hope the next time we speak, you’ll be delivering good news.”
Pei Rong promptly took out his phone and called Old Mr. Pei.
Pei Rong had booked the air tickets, so he knew exactly whether his father had boarded the flight yet.
Before long, Pei Rong hung up the phone. He raised his head and said to Deputy Chairman Qin, “I’m going to the airport to pick him up.”
Deputy Chairman Qin naturally heard Pei Rong’s conversation with his father. He seemed happier after hearing this. He exchanged a few words with Pei Rong before waving his hand. “Go on then. Once you learn more about Min Yu’s condition, call me.”
“Yes,” acknowledged Pei Rong.
Before long, he left the Apothecaries’ Association and went to pick up Old Mr. Pei.

Old Mr. Pei was puzzled. He looked at Pei Rong and said, “You kept rushing me to go back. Now, you’re telling me to stay. You said you had something important to tell me. What is it?”
Pei Rong’s eyes glinted. He simply took Old Mr. Pei’s luggage. “We can talk in the car.”
Old Mr. Pei could only follow behind Pei Rong.
