Chapter 902: Innocence

Bruce said, "Peter!"

Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and said, "Peter? Are you sure?"

Bruce shook his head and said, "It's hard to be sure. However, this is indeed very similar to his despicable methods. I've worked with him for many years. In the past, in order to climb up, he would use all sorts of methods on his competitors. Naturally, this would involve framing them. He also used all kinds of sinister methods against me. However, I've always been careful. Therefore, he has never succeeded in framing me." At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "The last time Peter came to capture me, he wanted me to become a spy. If he didn't succeed, he would definitely use another method. He just came to China so he doesn't quite understand the Green Fresh group and its influence here. It's not strange for him to do something like this."

Xiao Lingyu was deep in thought as she knocked on the table with one hand. She said, "Right now, we're not sure if Peter is behind this matter. However, just as you said, Chinese companies will hesitate before they make a move against Green Fresh. There is a heavy price to pay if they are caught. However, Peter has not been in China for long. Plus, he has Royal Forest behind him.

"The moment he arrived in China, he was stumped by us. We are also competitors. We have taken their customers, and he holds a deep grudge. It is not surprising for him to come after us."

Bruce nodded and said, "This kind of sinister and vicious method is very much like his style."

Xiao Lingyu said, "Whether it's Peter or not, we must find out the truth. If we find out that it's really him..." Royal Forest would be banished from China.

After Bruce heard that, he could only pray silently for Peter in his heart. He hoped that this matter really had nothing to do with him. Otherwise, Peter might face a fate worse than death.

...

Just as Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao expected, the news about the food poisoning was quickly exposed. It quickly reached the top of the trending page. The families of the victims attacked Green Fresh.

Green Fresh closed down temporarily, but that was seen as an admission of guilt. People even started brawls in front of supermarkets.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu said that she had anticipated all kinds of consequences. Considering that someone might break into the supermarkets to smash the stuff, she still sent security guards to guard the door.

The security guards were all agile people who had been transferred from Gong Tianhao's bodyguard company.

Therefore, even if these incidents happened, the losses were not too much.

However, with the exposure of the media and the instigation of the people behind the scenes, this matter blew up.

"President, this matter is becoming more and more serious. The family members of the victims stood at the entrance of our supermarket every day. Some of them even went to the head office to demand we pay for the deaths. They are impulsive and hard to console." the subordinate reported to Xiao Lingyu, "Although many of them were stopped by the security guards, there are so many of them. Something bad will happen sooner or later," the subordinate reported worriedly.

If these security guards couldn't stop those troublemakers, then the supermarkets would be destroyed. We were talking about more than a handful of supermarkets.

The main income of the green fresh group came from supermarkets

Xiao Lingyu comforted her. "Don't worry. Things haven't developed to that stage yet. However, I'm afraid people will continue to stir up trouble." She paused for a moment before instructing Secretary Zhang, "Secretary Zhang, send out an announcement that I'll hold a press conference at three in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Secretary Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking, "President, are you going to make an appearance personally?"

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Now that this matter has become so big, I will have to. Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Secretary Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll inform them now!"

After Secretary Zhang left, Xiao Lingyu's phone rang again.

"Hello, Yaozu. What's wrong?" Xiao Lingyu asked. "What? The toxins were indeed detected from those corpses, and it was from the fruits and vegetables sold in our supermarket?"Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised after receiving Zeng Yaozu's report.

Zeng Yaozu said worriedly, "That's the result of the test so far. Sister Lingyu, I'm afraid that the police department will come to our door soon."

Why? Of course, it was to arrest the person in charge of Green Fresh, Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu comforted him, "Yaozu, don't worry. Even if they arrest me, I'll be fine because I'm innocent."
