Chapter 196 - Conspiracy

It was precisely because Quan Yue knew these things that he felt even more satisfied with Jiang Jun.

Only with such a pure and kind person would he dare to confidently accept him as the family's shipbuilder.

Jiang Jun rejected Quan Yue's invitation and anxiously watched Quan Yue's expression, but Quan Yue's expression suddenly became inscrutable.

This made it impossible for Jiang Jun to guess Quan Yue's thoughts.

Quan Yue suddenly got up and walked to the desk behind him.

Immediately afterward, he grabbed some letters from the desk, returned, and handed the letters to Jiang Jun.

"What is this?" Jiang Jun asked, puzzled as he took the letters.

"This is some information I accidentally discovered while investigating Su Li.

Among them are things related to you, you can take a look."

Jiang Jun was confused, but still lowered his head and began to read the letters with suspicion.

At first, Jiang Jun didn't take it seriously, but gradually, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

A few minutes later, after reading the letters, Jiang Jun couldn't calm down completely, slammed the letters on the table, and roared, "Outrageous! This Su Li is simply inhuman."

The information in the letters was about Su Li's specific activities over the past month.

It was accidentally discovered by Quan Yue's investigators after more than a month of secret investigation.

In the past month, Su Li, in addition to a few frequently visited locations, often went in and out of three obscure and unpopular medicinal herb stores.

Although, because Su Li possessed the cultivation of a Soul King, it was impossible to observe him up close, after he left, the Quan Family's intelligence personnel spent a little money and learned that Su Li often bought some rare medicinal herbs.

Moreover, the medicinal herbs purchased from each medicinal herb store were different.

Feeling doubtful about this, Quan Yue, after learning this information, specifically sent someone to inquire about relevant information from a physician.

As a result, they learned that these three medicinal herbs are harmless to the human body when taken individually, but if the three are decocted together, they will become a kind of insidious chronic poison.

After knowing this, Quan Yue combined it with the information that the Old Factory Director's health was deteriorating, and instantly understood Su Li's vicious intentions.

Regicide.

This guy obviously wanted to kill his master and inherit the factory director position as soon as possible, so he would do such a thing.

"I think as the person closest to the Old Factory Director, you should be the most clear about the Old Factory Director's physical condition."

Then Quan Yue handed a small pottery bottle to Jiang Jun.

"Inside is the antidote that I asked the physician to prepare. As long as you pay attention to no longer ingesting the poison, just one pill a day, and persist for half a month, you can roughly eliminate the toxins in your body. You can take it back and feed it to the Old Factory Director."

Jiang Jun took Quan Yue's bottle and thanked loudly, "Thank you, sir, I can't repay such great kindness. Please wait for me to go back and solve this matter before coming to thank you."

After speaking, Jiang Jun turned around to leave.

Quan Yue quickly asked, "Mr. Jiang, don't you doubt the properties of this medicine?"

Jiang Jun's actions were too fast, and he didn't even suspect Quan Yue.

Obviously, Jiang Jun himself vaguely noticed something unusual.

Jiang Jun stopped and turned back, "I believe that with your status, you would not deceive a small person like me who has no power or influence for no reason.

Moreover, to be honest, sir, I also had suspicions before, especially in the past month, Su Li came to visit my master too frequently. I originally thought that he was specially visiting before my master stepped down, but I didn't expect..."

The Old Factory Director was eighty years old, but because he was a Soul Saint-level Tool Soul Master, his physical strength was no less than that of an average middle-aged person.

But starting ten years ago, the Old Factory Director would occasionally get minor colds.

Although these minor illnesses would soon heal, from then on, the Old Factory Director's physical and mental condition was not as good as before.

At that time, everyone thought that this was caused by the Old Factory Director being too old and overworked on weekdays.

But, unexpectedly, this was caused by Su Li poisoning him.

Seeing Jiang Jun trust him so much, Quan Yue became even more satisfied with Jiang Jun.

"Since you trust me so much, then I will reveal some more information to you. Su Li previously bought medicine once a month.

However, in this month, Su Li has been buying frequently, obviously with a premeditated plan.

"So, remember to be careful when you go back."

Jiang Jun heard this, turned around and solemnly bowed to Quan Yue, then, with a heavy expression, walked out of the study door.

Jiang Jun felt a chill in his heart after hearing Quan Yue's reminder.

The sudden increase in frequency this month was obviously because Su Li wanted to quickly deal with the Old Factory Director.

However, why would he suddenly increase the frequency?

Jiang Jun vaguely had an answer in his heart.

Su Li was likely wary of Jiang Jun, wary of him engaging in that kind of soliciting behavior like he did a month ago.

Su Li's suppression of Jiang Jun became more and more intense as Jiang Jun grew older.

However, this kind of suppression wouldn't last long. In a few years, Jiang Jun would eventually have to take over.

If Jiang Jun hadn't considered their relationship as fellow disciples and hadn't complained to the Old Factory Director, he would have been qualified to take over from the moment he was appointed as the vice captain.

Jiang Jun's retreat made Su Li even more unscrupulous.

However, this time it concerned his master's life, and Jiang Jun decided not to back down again.

Jiang Jun walked out of the room with a firm look in his eyes, got into a carriage, and sped towards the shipyard.

It was just past noon, and at this time, the Old Factory Director was still at the shipyard.

Inside the study, Quan Yue was leisurely drinking tea.

"After that, it's up to you, Ling Er."

Quan Yue turned to the window, looked at the scenery by the sea, and murmured.

...

Half an hour later.

The carriage Jiang Jun was in quickly arrived at the shipyard.

After getting out of the carriage, Jiang Jun forced himself to maintain a normal expression and walked into the factory as usual.

Although his heart was pounding like a drum, Jiang Jun tried his best to keep his pace steady.

Walking into the factory, his target was the factory director's office. This was the time when the Old Factory Director had lunch.

At the same time, it was also the time when Su Li often came to visit the Old Factory Director recently.

"Knock knock!"

Jiang Jun took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the factory director's office.

"Please come in."

An old voice came from inside the room.

Jiang Jun pushed open the door and walked into the room, but when he saw the figure that made his heart chill also in the room, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Master, Senior Brother Su, I'm here."

Jiang Jun suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked as usual.

"Xiao Jun, why are you back so soon? Weren't you invited to the Inner City today?"

The Old Factory Director asked Jiang Jun with some doubt.

"Oh? The Inner City? When did Junior Brother get to know important people? How come I don't know?"

Su Li's eyes became gloomy when he heard the Old Factory Director's words, but he cleverly avoided the Old Factory Director's gaze.

Seeing Su Li's inquiry, the Old Factory Director laughed proudly, "This junior brother of yours can be considered promising. This invitation to the Inner City is likely because your junior brother's skills have been noticed by someone.

Hahaha, I knew this guy wouldn't let me down.

Cough cough cough!"
