Chapter 195: Courting Death!

If only Chu Xiaomeng went alone, maybe no one would discover her.

But now, everyone could see four kids leaving openly like this.

Chu Cichen stood up, and just when he was preparing to go over to ask what they were doing, a voice suddenly rang out beside him. “Bro Chen, I’ve investigated the matter you wanted me to check.”

Chu Cichen frowned. He turned his head and glanced at Fang Panxia. There was a vicious look on her face as though she was going to go for broke.

She stared fixedly at Chu Cichen and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. “You got me to get close to Dugu Xiao to check who created the No. 5 Neurotoxin. I found out the truth.”

Chu Cichen’s eyes were ice-cold.

He didn’t say anything, but Fang Panxia walked to his side and directly sat down on the sofa nearby.

Fang Panxia looked ahead. Her eyes were red as she sneered. “I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say now, but I still want to tell you this.”

She looked at Chu Cichen. “Shen Ruojing created the No. 5 Neurotoxin. The neurotoxin that killed the person you loved most was manufactured by Shen Ruojing. Do you find this ridiculous or not? Haha…”

Chu Cichen was still expressionless, but his hands had clenched into fists.

He never believed that 518 would die in an explosion given her skills. She should have discovered that something was wrong before the explosion and escaped.

During these years, he had been investigating in the dark and finally found the real reason.

Before 518 entered Dugu Xiao’s trap, she was already poisoned.

She had a constitution that rendered her invulnerable to a hundred poisons and also poison-neutralizing pills. So, normal poison would be useless on her, and the only poison that could restrict her was the No. 5 Neurotoxin.

Chu Cichen didn’t say anything.

Fang Panxia looked at him and gradually calmed down.

She slowly moved closer to him and spoke with a lowered head, “Bro Chen, although the heat dispersal pills are famous now, you only have a few hundred thousand or a few million pills. They would be insufficient to support the Chu Corporation’s status in the industry. My suggestion earlier might be a little cruel, but would you truly not consider it? I’m only suggesting that because I’m thinking for both you and the Chu Corporation’s sake.”

Lu Cheng’s thinking was simple and Fang Panxia knew Lu Cheng was very naive.

However, Chu Cichen had always been a deep and intelligent man. When he did business overseas, he would also use some unsightly methods. This was why Fang Panxia felt that the reason why Chu Cichen didn’t agree with her suggestion earlier was because Lu Cheng was around. Now, only the two of them were here…

As expected, she saw Chu Cichen pondering. After that, Chu Cichen replied, “I’ll leave this matter to you. Do not let Lu Cheng or any others know about this.”

Fang Panxia’s eyes flashed with joy. “Yes!”

Chu Cichen’s dark eyes stared at her. “Do it fast.”

Fang Panxia nodded. She suddenly lowered her voice. “Bro Chen, I actually brought the virus with me.”

She patted her bag. “There’s a lot of people here because it is a banquet. This is the best time to transmit the virus. Later on, I’ll pour the virus into a cheesecake.”

“Okay.”

After Chu Cichen said this, Fang Panxia stood up in joy.

She walked around and tried not to attract anyone’s attention. However, there were simply too many people on the scene. In addition, people from the pharmaceutical factory were here as well. These people didn’t know she was fired by Chu Cichen, so they all greeted her passionately.

Chu Cichen looked at her. He suddenly lowered his head and took his phone to send a message.

A shadow fell over him suddenly.

He lifted his head again and saw Li Dongzhe standing before him. Li Dongzhe frowned. “CEO Chu, I’ve something to talk to you about.”

Charles had sent the message of Fang Panxia being sacked to the chat group.

He also told his students not to plead for her.

When some of his students asked about the reason, Charles said he didn’t know as well. He only said that Fang Panxia’s way of working didn’t align with the Chu Corporation. Li Dongzhe was puzzled when he saw this.

They were doing research so how could there be any misalignment?

Wasn’t it simply because Fang Panxia offended Shen Ruojing?

It was very rare for Li Dongzhe to interact with people. He was always focused on research and his environment was simpler. Hence, he had a sense of righteousness and liked being a hero, fighting against any injustice.

Because of it, he summoned his courage to chat with Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen looked at him. “Speak.”

Li Dongzhe felt his throat going parched after being stared at by Chu Cichen’s immeasurably deep eyes. He didn’t know how to say it properly. He tried speaking but ended up stuttering.

“CEO Chu, I…I feel that y…you shouldn’t fire Fang Panxia. S…she might have some misunderstanding with Miss Shen and they m…might have even quarreled. However, the research industry is simply like that. I…I actually quarrel often with my teacher too!”

The more he spoke, the smoother his words sounded. “As for the reason about misaligning, I feel that’s even more ridiculous. We are researchers so why would we have any thoughts about aligning with the Chu Corporation’s business style? Fang Panxia only made a small mistake all researchers would make. If you fire her because of Miss Shen, all the researchers’ hearts will turn cold.

“We don’t know much about the ways of the world, so we are comparatively more direct and blunt. Please don’t take this to heart and give her another chance.”

After Li Dongzhe finished speaking, he looked at Chu Cichen sincerely.

“…” The first time Chu Cichen saw Li Dongzhe, he already felt that this person’s thinking was too innocent. Although his intellect was high, he was using all his intellect in research.

After thinking of his daughter Chu Xiaomeng, he now had greater tolerance when facing this type of person.

Chu Cichen added. “Fang Panxia is different from you.”

Li Dongzhe started. “In what way? We are all people in love with research. We are serious and focus our time and energy on it. After coming to China, my junior sister arranged good lodgings for us and took great care of us. She might not have any great accomplishments in research, but that’s because she is still too young…”

Chu Cichen interrupted him. “She isn’t worthy of you pleading for her. I’d advise you not to waste energy on this matter.”

Li Dongzhe angrily spoke, “What do you mean by she’s not worthy? I know that in CEO Chu’s eyes, she is just like a chess piece that can be abandoned casually. You are the one who controls the Chu Corporation. If you treat her like this, I’ll feel very uncomfortable staying here. I…I’ll…”

He didn’t know how to threaten people, let alone be daring enough to threaten this person before him.

Li Dongzhe was filled with righteous indignation and anger. Just when he wanted to say something, a commotion rang out from the center of the banquet.

Everyone glanced over and saw Captain Cui and two policemen in plain clothes who masqueraded themselves as security guards directly apprehending Fang Panxia, pulling her outside…

When Li Dongzhe saw this, he felt even angrier. “CEO Chu, firing her is firing her, but why must you throw her out? She merely wants to bid farewell to us. At the very least, you should show her some basic respect…”
