Everyone gathered around the old man. Zhao Gang could not even bear to blink.

The examination took a long time, and Luo Chen could not leave now. After all, he had yet to confirm the situation.

He waited and waited until the third wave of medical staff came in. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep on the sofa beside him.

After an unknown period of time, he was woken up by Zhao Gang.

“I can’t thank you enough.”

Luo Chen was still in a daze, rubbing his sleepy eyes when he heard Zhao Gang’s words.

He immediately smiled secretly.

He had sacrificed so much just to achieve this outcome.

As long as he could cooperate with the Zhao Family Real Estate, it would be much less troublesome to establish the Chamber of Commerce in the future. Through this, he could also attract more large companies to join. The benefits would be endless.

“You don’t have to hold it to heart. After all, I happened to be here at the right time. Even if he’s not your father-in-law, I’ll definitely help if I can.”

Luo Chen sat up and said with a smile.

Director Liu, who was still busy examining the old man’s body, twitched his mouth. However, Luo Chen had helped him solve a huge problem, so he did not say it out loud.

“I owe you a favor for this. I’ll visit you this week. When the time comes, we can talk about the Chamber of Commerce.”

Zhao Gang was a straightforward person. He knew that Luo Chen must have a motive for doing this.

However, this made him feel more at ease. Everyone was here to do business. As long as they negotiated the business, their future cooperation would be very pleasant.

He was not very interested in the Chamber of Commerce in the beginning. After all, the Zhao Family Real Estate would never be limited to a small place like Jiang City.

However, since Luo Chen had helped him so much, it would be unreasonable if he did not return the favor.

Previously, he had also learned about the Chamber of Commerce. Although joining the Chamber of Commerce would not bring about a qualitative change to their company, it would not become a burden.

It was just the right move to show his gratitude.

“Then it’s settled. I like to work with people like President Zhao who are straightforward.”

Luo Chen laughed and extended his hand.

The two of them then shook hands. As Zhao Gang offered to send Luo Chen back, Luo Chen naturally did not refuse.

This day had really exhausted his energy. He had never been so tired.

Back at the manor, Luo Chen threw himself onto the bed and slept soundly.

When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

After a good night’s sleep, he still felt a little tired.

It seemed that he should do this less in the future. Treating and saving people was more tiring than fighting with groups of thugs.

Thinking about it carefully, the person who posted the bounty didn’t seem to have come to cause trouble for a long time.

Previously, they would appear once every three days. However, after Luo Chen easily sent several batches away, they had not appeared for about half a month. “Don’t tell me they know when to back off?”

Looking at himself in the mirror, Luo Chen muttered to himself.

However, it was a good thing that no one was here looking for trouble. He had too many things to do recently and did not have the leisure to deal with scumbags.

After washing up and arriving at the office, Luo Chen called the crew for a meeting.

Wang Meng had indeed recovered. The hospital also said that there were no major problems and that she would be discharged soon.

However, the matter of an actor being poisoned in the production team’s venue could not be overlooked.

In order to ensure the filming progress and the company’s image, the production team finally stepped in and chose not to call the police. However, Luo Chen did not want to let go of the potential murderer.

Moreover, to be able to poison the food that was distributed uniformly, it was obvious that the suspect was someone within the production team. If he ignored this fact, they would probably be able to poison the others one day.

There was silence in the conference room.

The crew members stared at each other and did not speak first.

As for Luo Chen, he sat at the master seat and made small talks as he twirled his pen. His sharp gaze swept across everyone’s faces.

Everyone who met his gaze involuntarily avoided him, not daring to look him in the eye.

“It’s been a day. Have you found the person who might have poisoned the food?”

After a long while, Luo Chen spoke casually.

Hearing his tone, everyone thought that he was chatting, but when they heard the words spoken, they could not help but shrink their necks.

“Say something. Are you all mute?”

Luo Chen slammed his pen on the table. The loud noise silenced everyone.

“This… We’re still investigating, but the surveillance cameras at the event location didn’t capture Wang Meng’s van when she was resting. If we continue to investigate, I’m afraid well have to investigate everyone.”

“There’s a high turnover in the production team, and those extras that were hired at the last minute… We need time.”

At this moment, the stage supervisor finally braced himself and spoke.

He was usually the one who was responsible for the coordination of the relevant personnel. Now that such a big problem had happened, he naturally had to be responsible.

“So you haven’t started investigating yet? Do you think that if you drag this on, the big matter will become a small matter, and in the end, it will be forgotten?”

The moment Luo Chen opened his mouth, he told the crew how to deal with it.

Although that was their true intention, they wouldn’t dare to speak up.

The people in charge looked at each other and revealed awkward expressions.

This was because this drama was Luo Chen’s exclusive investment. If Luo Chen was displeased and withdrew his investment, all their previous efforts would be wasted. The losses would be more than just heavy.

“We’ll start the investigation immediately when we get back. No matter what, we’ll give you an answer. We definitely won’t cover up for the murderer!”

A person in charge finally mustered his courage and stared into Luo Chen’s eyes as he said word by word.

“I hope so. We have to find the real culprit within a week.”

Luo Chen sneered and said indifferently.

A week was actually already long enough. No matter how big the production team’s turnover was, there were only about a hundred people. If they really wanted to investigate, they wouldn’t have spent a whole day without even demarcating a possible area.

It was obvious that these people were preparing to stall for time.

If this was tolerated once, it might happen a second time.

Luo Chen had high hopes for this drama. Moreover, it was going to be aired during the new year so the public relations department had already begun to promote it.

There were many people in the production team. If they treated it lightly and someone with ulterior motives learned of this news and spread it online, they would gain flak very quickly.

At that time, if the Luo Corporation did not do anything and allowed the news of the actors being poisoned to spread, the public opinion would really be out of control.

Therefore, Luo Chen wanted to nip this in the bud..
