Chapter 323: Something's wrong with the wolfberries!

The host and guests were all happy after the meal, and the servants came to prepare to clear the table.

Ji Guangsheng, who had drunk some wine, was chatting with Gu Hang and the others.

However, at this time, the butler of the manor, Bai Guang, hurriedly walked in, as if he had something to say but was reluctant to do so.

Ji Guangsheng wiped the smile off his face and glanced around the side.

The butler immediately understood and then, without saying much, bowed and retreated.

Ji Guangsheng already guessed in his heart that the butler had come at this time because something important had happened in Chuanshi.

However, he did not want to disturb the lively atmosphere.

So he just told the Gu family elders that he had drunk a bit too much and was going to take a nap.

After apologising, he went straight to the study on the second floor.

Sure enough, the butler was already waiting when he pushed open the door.

'Boss, it's a call from Sichuan City. It seems that someone got a fake batch of the wolfberries we sold before,'

the butler said, placing a document on his desk before him, his voice a little strained.

Ji Guangsheng's face suddenly paled when he heard the news.

The first thought that came to his mind was whether Gu Chen had used substandard goods in that batch.

But he quickly dismissed this idea, because he had checked some of them himself before.

He was completely sure that the wolfberries grown by Gu Chen were absolutely top-notch.

Moreover, the Ji family's own shipping process was also very strict, even if he himself did not sample substandard products.

But there were still many inspections in the subsequent packaging, sorting, sales, and so on.

Not only that, but after half of the goji berries were sold, he was still in charge of the remaining half.

He replaced the packaging, put it on the shelves of Ji Family's shopping malls and supermarkets, and changed it to retail in real time.

If there was a problem with Gu Chen's goods, there was no way he would get the news at this time.

But after calculating this way, since it could not be his own problem, there was only one possibility left.

There was another party that had applied their Ji Family brand and produced the same packaging as theirs.

But they sold fake and inferior products, either to make a profit or to damage the Ji family's reputation in this way.

When he thought about it, it seemed that the cause and effect of everything was already very clear.

But Ji Guangsheng frowned deeply instead.

The Ji family had been operating in Chuan City for many years and was known to everyone.

Its status was even at its peak, and the other party dared to steal their brand to make fake products, which was no different from having the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard.

As long as a person is not crazy, they would never do something so suicidal.

After all, even if you have the life to make money, you also have to have the life to spend it.

In Sichuan City, not many people dare to face the Ji family's anger head-on.

However, the more Ji Guangsheng subconsciously felt that it was impossible, the more the other party did it.

As a result, it aroused his vigilance.

'Have you found out where those counterfeiters came from?' Ji Guangsheng asked the butler in front of him.

'Not yet, my lord, but I have secretly deployed a lot of manpower in advance.

I believe the results will be available soon.

The other party's shipments are also quite large, and the prices are a bit cheaper than ours. It seems that they never intended to make a profit in the first place.

My impression is that they are specifically targeting us.'

The butler pondered for a moment before saying to Ji Guangsheng.

'Huh? Could it be that someone is unhappy with the Ji family's involvement in the business of Chinese patent medicines in Sichuan?'

Ji Guangsheng's brow seemed to furrow even deeper as he made up his mind to help Gu Chen.

But he had already made arrangements with various forces in advance, and the profits earned.

In addition to the dividends for Gu Chen, the Ji family did not intend to keep it all for themselves.

Instead, they promised that in the future, if there were ever more supplies of such top-quality goods, all the major forces would benefit equally.

Normally, no one would go back on their word at this time, and it was even more despicable to use such a despicable method.

At this time, the butler seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but look at him.

'You have been with me for so many years, don't you know my temper yet? Just say what you have to say.'

Ji Guangsheng waved his hand, as if he trusted the butler in front of him.

Upon hearing this, the butler also leaned slightly forward, and then walked up to his ear and whispered nervously.

'Master, Chuancheng has always focused on the proprietary Chinese medicine business, but you have forgotten one family, that is, the Xu family...'

Ji Guangsheng was shocked when he heard this. If the Xu family really had someone working in the shadows, then this would be a problem.

He dared not take this lightly and immediately gave the butler a stern order.

'Send some more people, don't be afraid to spend money, and investigate the Xu family carefully.

We must find out the truth as soon as possible and see if it was really that Xu Qingmu who was behind the plot.'

Butler Bai Guang immediately bowed in agreement, then turned and pushed open the study door, hurrying downstairs to make arrangements.

...

Two days later, as more and more news came in, Ji Guangsheng's face became increasingly ugly.

Because by now, although he still hadn't obtained any conclusive evidence,

he was already 100% certain that the mastermind behind this was definitely the Xu family.

And the sale of fake wolfberries was only the beginning, and what worried him even more followed.

If someone bought fake goods before, it was just a fake product using the Ji family brand.

But now someone has been hospitalised with food poisoning after eating these fake goods.

This incident is intensifying in Sichuan City, and many people have even gone directly to the Xu family's company headquarters to protest.

At the same time, many media outlets are quickly following up on this story. In just two days, the situation has begun to rapidly deteriorate.

And it is rapidly spreading in an uncontrollable direction.

Ji Guangsheng could feel even a fool could tell that this time the other party was not simply setting him up.

It was a premeditated attack by the evil wolf Xu Qingmu.

This was an attempt to take advantage of the situation to destroy the reputation that the Xu family had built up over the years.

Ji Guangsheng could no longer sit still.

And at this time, he was not only worried about the Xu family's conspiracy to attack.

He was more worried about whether Xu Qingmu had discovered the fact that his daughter was still alive.

When he thought about Xu Qingmu's relentless appearance when he regretted the engagement back then,

Now if he sets his sights on him again, I'm afraid that his daughter Ji Pianran and her husband Gu Chen will both be in danger in the future.

Ji Guangsheng understood clearly in his heart what he had to do.

If he wanted to know the other person's true intentions, he was afraid that he would have to go to the Xu family himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Guangsheng immediately got up from his chair and shouted out the door.

'Bai Guang, book the nearest flight, I want to go back to Sichuan City now.'
