After a period of silence, Fade said with a serious face, "Even the Chiang family can't stop the police from handling cases, right?"
Titas was embarrassed and carefully explained to Fade, "Mr. Chen, influential families like the Chiang family will hire many top-notch lawyers."
"Those lawyers are all astute. They're all good at exploiting legal loopholes. If we investigate them, they'll definitely find laws to stop us from doing so," Titas explained.
"Additionally, the Chiang family's business has shares in Bald Eagle Pharma from Micovia. It is a foreign-funded enterprise that limits our abilities even more. Sometimes, there's nothing we can do," Titas added.
Fade remained silent and his face looked gloomy as he never expected such a thing to happen.
After a while, Fade asked once more, "Doesn't the Jade City police force have any way to deal with powerful families and corporations? Are we just going to let them recklessly roam about their business?"
Titas answered, "We won't allow them to act recklessly but dealing with them is much more difficult than dealing with ordinary people. Under normal circumstances, we will only catch them when we have sufficient, concrete evidence."
"Otherwise, those large families will find all kinds of excuses to take advantage of the law and get themselves out of trouble," Titas added.
Fade asked, "Sergeant Xu, does it mean that we need to collect sufficient evidence of the Chiang family before we can lay our hands on them?"
Titas nodded and said, "That would be the safest way to deal with the Chiang family."
Fade solemnly said, "If it's any other case, we can collect evidence and capture them at once. However, this is a food poisoning incident now, and there are still some patients who can't be treated. We don't have time to take it slow."
Titas was rendered speechless as he heard Fade's comment. However, he did not have a solution. He remained silent and said, "This, this is..."
Fade immediately thought of something while Titas was in search of a solution. He looked up at Titas and said, "Sergeant Xu, the biggest problem now is a lack of solid evidence. Therefore, we can't deal with the Chiang family, right?"
"Yes!" Titas nodded and continued, "Although we have traced the source and suspected that the poisonous seafood came from Chiang
Aquaculture, we can't enter nor confirm it at all. It's mere a speculation now."
Fade gave a serious look and said in a harsh voice, "Since we can't go in and search during broad daylight, we'll just have to do it by other means."
"Mr. Chen, are you suggesting... an undercover operation?" Titas asked in all seriousness.
Fade nodded and suggested, "If we can't work in the open, then well do it in secret. Well secretly send people to collect evidence, and then well take action to catch the entire Chiang family in one fell swoop."
"But it's not easy to enter the aquaculture. The security of the Chiang family has always been strict, and there are many experts in it. It is almost impossible for our men to sneak in. This..." Titas exclaimed.
Fade patted his chest and said, "Don't you worry about that. Just leave it to me."
"Mr. Chen, are you going to be an undercover spy?" Titas asked in surprise.
Just as the news began to heat up, Fade and Leonardo, who were dressed in simple clothes, came to a rocky slope by the sea.
Both of them hid in the crevices of the rocks on the slope and used telescopes to observe the scene below.
The slope faced downwards and extended into the sea.
Several buildings located by the seashore were surrounded by tall walls. That was Chiang Aquaculture.
There were numerous buoys and nets closely situated by the sea. There were also countless cargo ships that traveled back and forth...
Fade frowned and said, "The seafood poisoning incident has happened yet the Chiang Aquaculture is still operating. The Chiang family is far too greedy."
Leonardo, who squatted beside him exclaimed, "The Chiang family has occupied 70% of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry. They have basically monopolized the entire industry and they always do what they want. In the past two years, the price of medical products has risen by nearly 40%. Many residents of Jade City are dissatisfied but nothing can be done."
"The government's relevant personnel had previously discussed such matters with the Chiang family. However, they were arrogant and didn't give in as they had the support of Bald Eagle Pharma from Micovia. In fact, they had previously threatened the medical departments in Jade City with Alstom Antibiotic. If it wasn't for your invention of the Ephedra Syrup, I'm afraid that the current medicine price in Jade City would've easily risen by ten to twenty percent," Leonardo added.
Fade uttered with determination upon hearing Leonardo's explanation, "This time, we must take down the Chiang family and make them pay the price they rightfully deserve," Fade said with sheer confidence.
"Yes!" Leonardo nodded and asked, "Mr. Chen, their security is strict. Should we make a move at night?"
