Xu Ziqian sighed and said nothing.

She and Jin Shuilong had not always followed the young lady. Their previous boss was Zhou Qiming.

Jin Shuilong originally killed someone in the country and fled abroad. Later, by chance, he met Zhou Qiming, who saved his life. Since then, he has been working for Zhou Qiming.

She was simply poor. She liked painting, but art was too expensive. Her talent might not be worse than others, but she was reluctant to waste paint, paper and brushes. As a result, no matter when she painted, she felt restrained, and the works she produced were mediocre and lacked her own distinctiveness.

Before Fu Zhencuo bought the first painting and gave her the extra money, she had already accepted Zhou Qiming's funding.

Zhou Qiming had no other requirements for her, he just wanted her to live in the open and launder money for him.

Xu Ziqian didn't know how many people like herself there were. After all, after she became famous under Zhou Qiming's operation, one of her paintings would only sell for a million yuan, and the money Zhou Qiming needed to launder was obviously more than that.

It only took Xu Ziqian a year to go from being timid in the beginning when dealing with Zhou Qiming to slowly getting used to it.

When Fu Zhenzhuo helped her, she was already a little famous, and his help didn't mean much to her. The reason why she mentioned this favor and expressed her sincerity to Fu Zhenzhuo in front of Xu Yansang was just to plant the seeds in advance to prevent Fu Zhenzhuo from suspecting her.

As expected, because of her confession, Fu Zhenmu felt it was unnecessary to even look at her. This allowed her to rely on Xu Yansang and have a safe triangle area in Rongcheng, where she could meet Jin Shuilong and deliver the goods.

Of course, the delivery was not arranged by Zhou Qiming, but by Zhou Qiming's only daughter Zhou Ruotang.

After Zhou Qiming got into trouble, all his properties came into Zhou Ruotang's hands. Even though they were things that were not worthy of being shown on the table, if he managed them well, they would be enough for Zhou Ruotang to live on.

The same is true of the fake medicine business.

After Zhou Ruotang fled to Southeast Asia, the first thing he picked up was the fake medicine business.

At the beginning, he sold all kinds of medicines, but because many diseases were well-known, fake drugs had no effect and were easily exposed. Later, Zhou Ruotang set his sights on the AIDS-specific drugs that were most likely to make huge profits.

Anyone who has studied properly should know that if you have AIDS and fail to successfully block the virus within 72 hours, there is basically no hope. However, educated people know how serious this disease is and will not let themselves be infected with it. Most people who get this disease are from the lower class.

Of course, everything has its probability. There are many groups of people who suffer from this disease, including college students, white-collar workers and even respected people. But as I said before, common sense for these people will prevent them from believing in the imaginary miracle drugs, so there is no chance of contact with them at all.

Zhou Ruotang’s target is still the lower class people.

People at the bottom of society are good. They are ignorant and stupid. They dare to risk everything they have at the slightest hope, and no one will care if they die.

The so-called specific AIDS medicine is actually just flour and a little bitter melon powder, which is made into the shape of capsules and sold through special channels. A box of medicine costs less than one dollar, but can be sold at a sky-high price. The huge profits can be imagined.

Zhou Ruotang did not just extend her reach to North City. At the same time, she also arranged people to expand the market in several super first-tier cities in China.

Thanks to the good market development, she has made a lot of money in the past few months.

But the market in the dark corners of a city is ultimately limited, not to mention that some markets have already been occupied by others.

Zhou Ruotang was dissatisfied with the weak sales growth over the past month and urged Xu Ziqian and Jin Shuilong to speed up market development.

But Xu Ziqian is just a human being, not a god. Moreover, she is an AIDS patient. Although her disease is under control in time, she still needs to take medication all year round.

She didn't want to reveal her secret night after night.

But people like her and Jin Shuilong had already been caught on camera when they were involved with Zhou Qiming. Zhou Qiming had videos of both her and Jin Shuilong killing people. This is the rule in this industry. Only when everyone is on the same criminal level will the higher-ups trust you.

And now, all these evidences are in Zhou Ruotang's hands.

Xu Ziqian and Jin Shuilong had no choice but to listen to Zhou Ruotang.

But Zhou Ruotang is far inferior to Zhou Qiming.

She only cares about immediate benefits and has no long-term plans.

The fake medicine caused trouble this time because Zhou Ruotang was too impatient and insisted that she spread the news that the efficacy of the medicine had decreased. She used to take one box, but now she has to take three boxes to control her condition.

In fact, there is no control at all. AIDS patients have a survival period of several years. This drug is just a placebo effect. They can live a few more years whether they take it or not.

In the past, because the medicine was cheap, no one thought of other places. But now that the price of medicine has gone up and the effect has become worse, some people have become cautious and took the medicine to have its ingredients analyzed.

After this test, everyone knew that what they were selling was not a specific medicine for AIDS, nor even a generic drug, but a fake medicine mixed with flour and bitter melon powder.

So someone called the police.

Because there are too many customers and the market is so large, the police can find a lot of clues by following the clues.

So Xu Ziqian and Jin Shuilong had no choice but to hide.

Originally, Zhou Ruotang had informed us that the matter could be resolved within a day, but now a day has passed and Xu Ziqian and Jin Shuilong are still hiding here like lost dogs.

Both of them knew very well that Zhou Ruotang was afraid that he had given up on them.

Xu Ziqian knew that Xu Yansang was looking for her, of course. However, her identity as a painter was just a cover for her real identity. Now that she was about to be arrested, there was no point in caring whether the exhibition was held or not.

Xu Yansang couldn't get through to Xu Ziqian on the phone, so she had no choice but to go back to the gallery.

What surprised her was that Liu Xingchen was also in the gallery today.
