Chapter 132: Going To The Banquet To Clarify

That night, Qiu Tong held a family meeting. When they found out that she was planning to find out the truth behind the locust pesticide allergy issue at the celebration banquet, the children were all excited.

Qiu Xingqiao said with burning eyes, “What do you need me to do? Just tell me!”

Little Yu nodded vigorously. She rubbed her eyes sleepily but forced herself to stay awake. “I also want to do my part for this operation!”

Qiu Tong looked at them in relief. She raised her hand to rub the top of Qiu Xingyuan’s head. She looked at Qiu Xingyuan and said, “I need you to develop a truth serum.”

“Truth serum?”

Qiu Xingyuan narrowed his eyes and repeated the name in confusion. He had never heard of it before…

Qiu Tong pulled out two blank pieces of paper and wrote down the principles of the truth serum. She explained. “To put it simply, this is a tranquilizer that can numb the nerves in the brain. The correct dose and ratio of these ingredients will make the person speak the truth for a short period of time. There’s no way for him to fabricate a lie.”

Qiu Xingyuan listened to her summary seriously and nodded. He took the two pieces of paper back into his room and started to research the correct dose and ratio of the ingredients.

A few days later, at the venue of the celebratory banquet, Mayor Shen, Chief Officer Fang and the rest were all there to receive interviews from the media. The scene was especially lively.

Qiu Tong was wearing a dark-colored evening gown that highlighted her graceful and charming figure. The veil on her head added to her mysterious aura.

Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao were both wearing well-pressed tuxedos. Holding her hand, they stepped onto the red carpet and entered the banquet hall. Little Yu was holding the hem of a princess dress. Her pink face was no different from that of a princess in a cartoon.

The appearance of the family of four stunned everyone present. The news reporters and guests all raised their cameras to capture a rare and eye-catching scene.

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate their victory in the first stage of the locust battle. Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu deliberately shifted the attention of the guests to the pharmaceutical supervisor.

“Actually, the supervisor works the hardest. He supervises the production of the pesticide in the factory every day!”

“Our elder brother has only provided a formula and guided the production process once. Actually, we should thank the supervisor for his efforts!”

Qiu Xingqiao kept praising the pharmaceutical supervisor to distract him. Qiu Xingqiao then nodded at Qiu Xingyuan. He secretly poured the truth serum into his wine and swirled it quietly.

The pharmaceutical supervisor did not expect to be the main hero. He was so happy that his mouth was agape as he said repeatedly, “You’re too kind, too kind!”

Qiu Tong raised her glass and looked at him indifferently. “Let me toast you…”

After she finished speaking, she downed her red wine. Mayor Shen, Chief Officer Fang and the rest followed suit. The pharmaceutical supervisor finished the wine with the truth serum. Although he found the taste a little strange, he didn’t think too much about it and continued to chat with the surrounding people.

After calculating the time for the truth serum to be effective, Qiu Xingqiao set the trap. “Uncle Supervisor is really amazing.”

“If you hadn’t made the decision to shorten the process of making the locust pesticide, things wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.”

“According to Elder Brother’s method, the locust plague will probably continue to spread for some time… how did you manage to come up with a way to shorten the process?”

Qiu Xingqiao deliberately blinked innocently. The pharmaceutical supervisor was too pleased with himself. Coupled with the effects of the truth serum, he quickly confessed, “Actually, it’s nothing special. It’s just that the process of making the serum is too cumbersome. I got the workers to mix the ingredients by instinct, without needing to measure.”

“It also took too long to filter the impurities from the pesticide. It would take an hour or two. So I got the workers to do away with the filtering process…”

The pharmaceutical supervisor did not sense that something was amiss and continued to speak. However, Qiu Xingyuan immediately looked at him with a cold face and frowned as he refuted, “I did not permit doing away with the filtering process. In fact, I specifically reminded you that it is very important to filter!”
