Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Xiao Lingyu received a call from Gong Tianhao as soon as she received the report from her subordinate.

"Yu 'Er, many news media outlets received a piece of news saying that the vegetables and fruits sold by Green Fresh group had poisoned people to death. It's not just one supermarket, but it involves supermarkets all over the country. I've suppressed most of the reports," Gong Tianhao said.

All the major news media knew that the Green Fresh Group was under Gong Tianhao's protection and didn't want to cause trouble for their own company. News like this had to be reported to Gong Tianhao.

Xiao Lingyu said, "I've just received a similar report from my subordinate."

Gong Tianhao frowned slightly when he heard that. He looked ahead with a sharp gaze and said, "It seems that there's someone behind all these."

These fruits and vegetables had been watered by the spiritual spring water and were only beneficial to the body. It was impossible for them to poison consumers to death.

Gong Tianhao continued, "So many deaths by poisoning happened at the same time. I refuse to believe this is unplanned. But the culprit sure is vicious to kill so many people at once." At this point, he paused for a moment before saying, "Yu 'Er, so many people died in this incident. You have to be mentally prepared! Before this incident breaks out, you have to find a solution as soon as possible."

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I know. After such an incident, all the managers have chosen to call the police. I will also send people to investigate and get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible."

Gong Tianhao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I will send a few people to help you with the investigation!" His company had professionals in this area.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and replied, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lingyu sat in her office and fell into deep thought.

This matter happened too suddenly. Xiao Lingyu could not figure out who was so vicious and sinister that they would kill indiscriminately to deal with her.

However, for the sake of safety, Xiao Lingyu ordered all the supermarkets in the country to suspend business for three days.

They would reopen after the truth was revealed.

Suspending business for three days was indeed a huge loss, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Just as Xiao Lingyu was deep in thought, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.

"Please come in!" Xiao Lingyu let someone in. Bruce quickly ran in, looking very anxious.

"President, did something happen in our supermarkets?" Bruce asked.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Yes." Xiao Lingyu did not hide it and said, "There have been many cases of people eating our vegetables and fruits and dying from poisoning."

Bruce was stunned when he heard that. Then, he asked, "Can you be sure that they ate something from the supermarket and died of poisoning?"

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "We are not sure yet. We are still investigating. However, I can guarantee that the things in our supermarket will never have poison in them. It is impossible for such a thing to happen. Therefore, I'm very sure that there's definitely a murderer behind this. However, we still have to investigate who the murderer is!"

After Bruce heard this, he frowned and said, "This sounds very much like that person's doing."

Xiao Lingyu's gaze immediately shot over and said, "Who do you mean?"

Bruce said, "Peter!"

Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and said, "Peter? Are you sure?"

Bruce shook his head and said, "It's hard to be sure. However, this is indeed very similar to his despicable methods. I've worked with him for many years. In the past, in order to climb up, he would use all sorts of methods on his competitors. Naturally, this would involve framing them. He also used all kinds of sinister methods against me. However, I've always been careful. Therefore, he has never succeeded in framing me." At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "The last time Peter came to capture me, he wanted me to become a spy. If he didn't succeed, he would definitely use another method. He just came to China so he doesn't quite understand the Green Fresh group and its influence here. It's not strange for him to do something like this."

Xiao Lingyu was deep in thought as she knocked on the table with one hand. She said, "Right now, we're not sure if Peter is behind this matter. However, just as you said, Chinese companies will hesitate before they make a move against Green Fresh. There is a heavy price to pay if they are caught. However, Peter has not been in China for long. Plus, he has Royal Forest behind him.

"The moment he arrived in China, he was stumped by us. We are also competitors. We have taken their customers, and he holds a deep grudge. It is not surprising for him to come after us."

Bruce nodded and said, "This kind of sinister and vicious method is very much like his style."

Xiao Lingyu said, "Whether it's Peter or not, we must find out the truth. If we find out that it's really him..." Royal Forest would be banished from China.

After Bruce heard that, he could only pray silently for Peter in his heart. He hoped that this matter really had nothing to do with him. Otherwise, Peter might face a fate worse than death.

...

Just as Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao expected, the news about the food poisoning was quickly exposed. It quickly reached the top of the trending page. The families of the victims attacked Green Fresh.

Green Fresh closed down temporarily, but that was seen as an admission of guilt. People even started brawls in front of supermarkets.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu said that she had anticipated all kinds of consequences. Considering that someone might break into the supermarkets to smash the stuff, she still sent security guards to guard the door.

The security guards were all agile people who had been transferred from Gong Tianhao's bodyguard company.

Therefore, even if these incidents happened, the losses were not too much.

However, with the exposure of the media and the instigation of the people behind the scenes, this matter became blew up.

"President, this matter is becoming more and more serious. The family members of the victims stood at the entrance of our supermarket every day. Some of them even went to the head office to demand we pay for the deaths. They are impulsive and hard to console." the subordinate reported to Xiao Lingyu, "Although many of them were stopped by the security guards, there are so many of them. Something bad will happen sooner or later," the subordinate reported worriedly.

If these security guards couldn't stop those troublemakers, then the supermarkets would be destroyed. We were talking about more than a handful of supermarkets.

The main income of the green fresh group came from the supermarkets

Xiao Lingyu comforted her. "Don't worry. Things haven't developed to that stage yet. However, I'm afraid people will continue to stir up trouble." She paused for a moment before instructing secretary Zhang, "Secretary Zhang, send out an announcement that I'll hold a press conference at three in the afternoon."

Hearing this, secretary Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking, "President, are you going to make an appearance personally?"

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Now that this matter has become so big, I will have to. Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Secretary Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll inform them now!"

After secretary Zhang left, Xiao Lingyu's phone rang again.

"Hello, Yaozu. What's wrong?" Xiao Lingyu asked. "What? The toxins were indeed detected from those corpses, and it was from the fruits and vegetables sold in our supermarket?"Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised after receiving Zeng Yaozu's report.

Zeng Yaozu said worriedly, "That's the result of the test so far. Sister Lingyu, I'm afraid that the police department will come to our door soon."

Why? Of course, it was to arrest the person in charge of Green Fresh, Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu comforted him, "Yaozu, don't worry. Even if they arrest me, I'll be fine because I'm innocent."
