Black market’s divine medicine!
Of course Pei Jue had heard of the Primordial Energy Pill!
The organization that Deep Sea had tried to use the name of the Pei Clan to acquire the Primordial Energy Pill, but all the messages sent out vanished without a trace, showing that the forces behind the Primordial Energy Pill were unimaginable.
“How could this be in Grandpa’s medicine!”
Annie accessed the surveillance footage from Elder Pei’s hospital room.
As soon as Elder Pei saw it, his eyes widened in disbelief!
“Hey, when did you, kid, install surveillance in my room behind my back? Didn’t I tell you not to!”
Pei Jue remained calm, with an unyielding tone.
“Grandpa, it’s for your safety.”
“I don’t care! I’m already eighty-six, don’t I get any privacy? This is a violation of citizens’ legal rights, I’m going to sue you!”
Pei Jue ignored Elder Pei’s protests and turned on the surveillance.
“It was indeed Shen Yurou who brought the medicine. How did she get hold of such a thing?”
Elder Shen’s expression was also quite grim.

After all, Shen Yurou bore the Shen surname, and if it got out that the Shen Family tampered with Elder Pei’s medicine, the whole Shen Family wouldn’t be able to face the Pei Family!
“Qingwu, what exactly is this thing?”
“It’s a divine medicine from the Southeast Asian black market, one pill costs a million. It temporarily gives people the illusion of being strong and healthy, but long-term use makes one confused and even dependent on the drug; stopping it abruptly leads to sudden death. Last time, Elder Pei also experienced a drug reaction between the Primordial Energy Pill and the other medicine he was taking.”
Elder Shen frowned and said, “Then why hasn’t it knocked him out now? Last time, he was drugged; it should have been the same this time!”
Qingwu was silent for a moment.
“Because Elder Pei is picky with his pills. If the pills don’t look good, he doesn’t take them and avoids those that react with the Primordial Energy Pill.”
Elder Pei looked smug.
“Hmph, now you see, it’s best to do things my way. Thanks to my wits, otherwise I’d be on my way to see King Yan by now!”
The entire room was speechless.
The old man was actually proud of being selective with his medicines!
The caregiver was sweating profusely, looking at Elder Pei’s box of medicine, terrified and trembling: “Miss Shen said she was coming to see Elder Pei, we couldn’t stop her…”
Pei Jue coldly said, “I have said before, chase Shen Yurou away every time she comes, did you think my words were just empty sounds?”
“Dare not, dare not! But she said…she said she is President Pei’s fiancée…”
“My fiancée is Qingwu. If you can’t even recognize people, you have no place in the Pei Family anymore! Annie, replace everyone in Grandpa’s hospital room!”
The group of caregivers knew they had done something wrong and Pei Jue definitely wouldn’t spare them, but they were really reluctant to give up the high care fees from the Pei Family… They all looked pleadingly at Qingwu.
Qingwu said indifferently, “You’ve been receiving money from Shen Yurou, haven’t you?”
“No, Lady Shen, it’s a false accusation! Since we’re paid by President Pei, how could we receive money from Miss Shen Yurou…”
Qingwu pointed to the video, “At one minute and thirty seconds, Shen Yurou handed you a card.”
Annie quickly rewound the video and indeed saw Shen Yurou handing a bank card to a caregiver!
The caregivers were completely silenced and were dragged away by the bodyguards!
Elder Pei was nonchalant and said, “How many batches have been replaced already? It’s impossible to guard against every possibility. It’s better not to guard at all and let me leave the hospital directly!”
Pei Jue: “…”
The previous medical staff had loopholes because the old man himself wanted to use himself as bait to fish out any sneaky figures lurking in the hospital.
Unexpectedly, after changing the medical staff once, there was still a problem with Elder Pei’s medicine!
Elder Shen said apologetically, “Old Pei, this was our family’s fault, and we will definitely give you an explanation!”
“All is well, as long as your granddaughter-in-law marries over… Hey, it’s not like she added the medicine to yours?”
Elder Shen smiled mysteriously.
“I only take the medicine Qingwu prescribes for me, even if it’s given by Chen Jianhong, I won’t take it.”
Elder Pei: “…”
Fine, so it’s only you who’s smart!
Elder Shen took out his medicine box, proudly saying, “These are prescribed by Qingwu. She sends them to me every day, not more. These were taken from the hospital, I haven’t taken a single one.”
Qingwu squatted down and picked up the medicine box.
“There are also Primordial Energy Pills here, but Grandpa hasn’t taken a single one.”
Elder Pei protested.
“I also want Qingwu to prescribe my medicine! Granddaughter-in-law, you can’t favor one over the other; Grandpa is still waiting to see the two of you get married!”
Pei Jue also looked at Qingwu with expectant and pleading eyes, “Qingwu, I don’t trust any medicine other than yours. Grandpa’s medicine has had several problems, I really feel bad about it.”
Qingwu nodded, “Alright, from now on I will have my medicine sent along with Grandpa’s, but let me be clear, the medicine I prescribe is not as sweet as the Primordial Energy Pill; it tastes bitter.”
Elder Pei’s face turned bitter; how did this girl know that he kept taking the Primordial Energy Pill because it’s sweet!
Elder Shen was the first to speak up: “It’s just a few pills? If Qingwu wants Grandpa to take them, Grandpa should take them. Some old guy keeps saying he loves our Qingwu, but doesn’t even dare take a few pills—how is that love.”
“…Okay, okay, I get it! I’ll take them, isn’t that enough!”
Qingwu looked at the Primordial Energy Pill in her hand and said, “Grandpa, I’d like to take it to see what’s in it.”
The two old men quickly waved their hands, looking as if it were nothing good.
“Take it, take it, if you don’t take it, Grandpa wouldn’t dare keep it!”
Elder Shen pondered, “That girl Yurou doesn’t have that much money to buy a Primordial Energy Pill. This pile would cost over ten million.”
“There’s still quite a bit with Grandma, and it seems she’s been on them for a while.”
Elder Shen nodded, with a glint of slyness in his eyes.
“Professor Chen told me, but I didn’t expect that we and Old Pei also have these things … Qingwu, Grandpa is not convenient to show up in this matter, you and Little Pei should investigate it clearly. Our family needs to give justice to your grandpa!”
Qingwu: “…”
She could investigate by herself, it wasn’t necessary to be with Pei Jue.
Elder Pei also looked at Qingwu, full of expectation: “Qingwu, Grandpa is relying on you for this matter. You saved Grandpa once, surely you wouldn’t bear to see him collapse again; that would waste all your effort!”
When Qingwu performed surgery last time, Elder Shen knew it was Qingwu who did it independently. He felt both proud and worried!
He hadn’t even let his granddaughter do surgery; that old Pei was really lucky!
Pei Jue also looked at Qingwu, his eyes shining with anticipation.
“…Alright, I understand.”
Elder Shen called Shen Yurou in front of everyone.
Shen Yurou’s coy voice that made one cringe came over the receiver.
“Grandpa, how come you’re calling me? Do you miss me? I’ll come to the hospital to see you right away!”
“No need, I just want to ask, what medicine did you give your Grandpa Pei? Now Old Pei is in the ICU, the Pei Family is asking me for you, think carefully about how you’ll explain this to the Pei Family! If this matter doesn’t have a proper explanation, I won’t spare you!”
Qingwu: “…”
Elder Shen certainly knew how to put words together out of thin air!
