After going down the mountain, the beautiful CEO chased me

He knew that he was not fighting alone.

With the help of Liu Changtian and the support of his senior sisters, he believes that he will be able to solve the mystery.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Chen Pingping and Song Jiang, briefly explaining the situation and asking for their assistance in the investigation.

Then he turned around and told Liu Changtian his opinion.

"Okay, then let's split up. If you have any news, please contact me immediately."

After saying that, the two of them left.

Chen Ming also has his own calculations in mind, so he naturally won't compromise easily.

As for this mysterious organization, sooner or later it will be exposed to the public.

At the same time, the mysterious man sat on a chair, holding a red wine glass in his hand, and wearing a silver mask on his face.

"Zhou Botong has a hidden residence. Not only does he have many years of savings, but he also seems to have two ancient prescriptions. You must find a way to bring them back."

The mysterious man's voice was low and magnetic, and every word sounded like a carefully planned instruction that could not be questioned.

He gently shook the red wine in his hand, and looked through the eye holes of the mask, as if he could penetrate time and space and see the wind and clouds in the distance that were about to be stirred up.

"Yes, Master."

The two figures knelt respectfully in front of him, their voices filled with awe for the mysterious man.

They were dressed in tight black clothes, their faces hidden in the shadows, revealing only two sharp eyes, which revealed a coldness and determination that should not be underestimated.

The mysterious man took a sip of red wine and continued giving orders.

"Remember, this operation must be carried out with caution and not to let anyone notice. Especially the young man named Chen Ming, he seems to be interested in our plan. If necessary, we can take some measures to make him retreat."

"Yes, Master. We will make sure everything goes well."

After receiving the order, the man in black quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only a series of light footsteps echoing in the empty room.

Chen Ming didn't know that he had become a key figure in a huge conspiracy.

These people also had clear goals and they carried out their tasks quickly.

At this moment, Chen Ming always felt that he seemed to have missed something, and he had to go back to Zhou Botong's previous villa to check.

The night was as dark as ink and the moonlight was dim. Chen Ming drove back to the villa that was once full of mysteries.

Everything around seemed to be immersed in dead silence, with only the occasional whisper of the night wind breaking the tranquility.

He stood in front of the gate of the villa, feeling mixed emotions. Every time he stepped into this place, it was like opening a door to an unknown world.

He took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped into the shadowed space.

The interior of the villa remained the same as it was when I left last time, but there was an indescribable sense of tension in the air.

Chen Ming turned on the flashlight, and the beam of light drew tracks in the dim room. He walked towards Zhou Botong's study step by step, following the route he remembered.

The door of the study was half-open, letting in a faint light.

Chen Ming pushed open the door and saw several ancient books and yellowed papers scattered on the desk, which were obviously the materials left by Zhou Botong during his lifetime.

He walked closer and found that several of the papers contained some complex herbal recipes, which were similar to the ancient prescriptions found in the basement before, but also different.

Just as he was studying the formulas carefully, a slight noise came from a corner of the study.

Chen Ming's nerves tensed up instantly. He turned around quickly and swept the flashlight beam across the shadow area.

I saw the carpet next to the bookshelf bulge slightly, as if something was moving.

He clenched his fists and slowly approached, his heart beating like a drum.

As the distance shortened, the outline of a human figure gradually emerged from under the raised carpet.

Chen Ming lifted his head violently, and a figure staggered out. The light of the flashlight illuminated the other person's face.

A strange man with fear and panic on his face.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chen Ming shouted sternly, while remaining alert to prevent a sudden attack from the other party.

The man was obviously frightened by the sudden change. He waved his hands quickly with a trembling voice.

"I...I was captured. I am Professor Qin's assistant. My name is Li Hao."

Chen Ming frowned and looked at the other person, trying to determine the truthfulness of his words.

"Professor Qin? Which Professor Qin?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but he remained calm on the surface. The flashlight swept back and forth across his face, trying to capture any abnormal emotional fluctuations.

"It's Professor Qin Yuanming. You should have heard of him, right? He is a well-known Chinese medicine expert in the country. I... I am just his assistant. I was kidnapped here by those people. They forced me to find the ancient prescription left by Zhou Botong."

Li Hao explained incoherently, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

Chen Ming's heart moved when he heard this. He had indeed heard of Professor Qin Yuanming's name, who was a highly respected scholar in the industry.

If Li Hao is really Professor Qin's assistant, then all of this may not be as simple as a treasure hunt or a struggle between organizations.

"Why did they arrest you? How did you know Zhou Botong had the ancient medicine prescription?"

Chen Ming continued to ask questions, trying to get more information from Li Hao.

Li Hao swallowed and seemed to be organizing his words.

"Professor Qin has recently been researching a lost method of treating a disease. It is said that Zhou Botong holds the key clue - two ancient prescriptions. Those people somehow got the news and... they kidnapped me and asked me to use Professor Qin's knowledge to decipher these prescriptions."

After hearing this, Chen Ming pondered in his heart.

If all this is true, then behind this battle for the ancient prescription may be more complicated conflicts of interest in medicine and scientific research.

"Then do you know who they are? The organization that asked you to come here to find a prescription."

Chen Ming's voice was low and powerful, trying to put some pressure on Li Hao.

Li Hao shook his head, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

"I don't know. They kept their faces covered and acted extremely secretly. I only know that they were very powerful and I had no chance to resist."

Chen Ming nodded, already having an idea in mind.

"In that case, do you have any clues now?"

Li Hao hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about whether to reveal more, but ultimately chose to trust the stranger in front of him.

He pulled out a worn notebook from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ming, his fingers trembling slightly.

"I found this in Zhou Botong's study. It records some of his research on ancient prescriptions, as well as some speculations about unsolved mysteries. Although I don't fully understand it, it may provide you with some clues."
