Chapter 118 I Advise You Not To Accept It
Harlow, Lachlan, and Miranda walked towards the warehouse area with several trucks parked outside and workers waiting at the entrances. Romeo and Eliza were already there, looking amused and proud as they watched the trio approach.
Miranda and Lachlan exchanged a glance, sensing that something was up. "Hey, my niece and Lachlan have arrived,” Romeo said with a smirk.
"What's going on? Why did you call us here?" Miranda asked flatly.
"We need your help to inspect some medicinal herbs that we just received from a wholesaler," Romeo explained. "You used to manage this company before, so you must know about these things. Come take a look!"
Romeo spoke with a mocking and self-satisfied tone.
Hearing this, Miranda's expression darkened, and a subtle coldness appeared in her beautiful eyes. "Oh, what's this? Your face doesn't look too good,” Eliza teased from the side.
"Seeing us find a new raw materials supplier got her upset!" Harlow chuckled smugly. Then she added, "Miranda, Willis, didn't see that coming, did you? You may have made Albie and his gang cut off our supplies, but someone is still willing to provide for us. We won't be delayed. You celebrated too early last time!"
With those words, both Romeo and Eliza burst into laughter, looking quite pleased with themselves. Miranda's expression turned sour as she glared at her uncle's family. What they had portrayed as addressing issues in the factory and checking the raw materials was clearly an excuse to bring her here and gloat over their triumph.
"Is this amusing? Lachlan, let's go!" Miranda said coldly, feeling quite displeased, and she prepared to leave with Lachlan.
However, at that moment, Lachlan shook his head. "Miranda, wait a moment.”
Miranda raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
Lachlan then subtly sniffed the air and, after surveying the trucks, turned to Romeo and said, "I advise you not to accept these raw materials! It could lead to significant problems!"
Upon hearing this, Romeo responded with a grunt, "What do you mean, kid? Is there some big problem? You think you can make us angry, huh? Hahaha..."
Lachlan narrowed his eyes and warned seriously, "Many of these herbs have already gone bad! Then they were processed with chemicals and sold to you!"
Normal herbs absorb the essence of the sun and moon to grow. They contain some spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
However, many of the herbs on these trucks today did not contain any spiritual energy at all.
Not only that but they also emitted a strange odor.
Clearly, they were inferior quality herbs that had been processed with chemicals!
As soon as Lachlan finished speaking, Romeo said in surprise, "Oh?" His expression changed several times.
The person in charge who brought the convoy over became angry upon hearing this. He pointed at Lachlan and scolded him, "Where did you come from? You're talking nonsense here! The herbs in Mr. Diaz's hands are all top-notch goods! Stop slandering us!"
Then he asked Lachlan, "Kid, which ones do you say are inferior quality herbs? Let's check them out right now!"
Lachlan smiled casually and pointed to one of the trucks.
"Haha," he laughed. "You say these dried plums are inferior quality herbs? Come on then open up the cargo compartment so they can take a look!"
The person in charge's eyes flickered for a moment before bursting into laughter.
It seemed like he had no fear whatsoever.
When they opened up the cargo compartment it was filled with piles upon piles of dried plums inside.
Romeo went over to take a closer look then sneered at Lachlan saying, "You just can't stand seeing us doing well huh gigolo?"
"These dried plums don't have any problems at all. What is it that makes you want me to return these raw materials?
Dream on!"
"That's right,” Harlow gritted her teeth saying angrily.
"Stop thinking about your own interests so much! Do we really need to listen to your nonsense?" Eliza mocked as well.
"These dried plums were soaked in chemicals first before being smoked dry using sulfur. Sure there may not be anything wrong looking about them but haven't y'all smelled that weird smell yet?" "Normal dried plums wouldn't have such an odor.” Lachlan spoke solemnly.
Miranda also noticed this issue as she sniffed the air and said, "That's right, Uncle. I advise you to thoroughly check these materials. If necessary, send them to a specialized testing department for analysis. Don't put people's lives at risk.”
Upon hearing this, the head of Jadiel's team had a change of expression. The next moment, he looked indignant and angrily addressed Romeo, "Damn it, we've transported these raw materials a long way, and they're accusing us like this? It's the height of summer, so we've placed some insect repellents and desiccants in the truck to preserve the materials. What's the big deal? You don't believe us? Fine, we're taking them away! If you can't trust us, forget it!"
With a stern demeanor, the team leader signaled the driver to leave.
Romeo's family, fearing the loss of the materials, quickly stopped them.
"Don't go! Don't leave! Who said we don't trust you? We won't listen to the slanderous nonsense from this little bastard and Willis!" Eliza pleaded anxiously.
"Right! These raw materials are perfectly fine. They're just envious of our success. Sir, please start unloading the truck!" Harlow chimed in hastily.
Romeo, on the other hand, snorted and angrily scolded Miranda, "Miranda, get out of here with him! You think I don't know what you're up to?"
Miranda was so infuriated that her delicate face turned red, and she was about to retort, but Lachlan pulled her away.
"Let's go. They'll regret it," Lachlan said.
Hearing this, Romeo's family looked contemptuous and scornful.
"Hat"
"Regret? That's a good one!"
"They're spewing nonsense because they're seething with jealousy!"
"Hurry up and get lost!"
Behind them, Eliza and Harlow's voices filled with triumph and mockery echoed.
As Miranda and Lachlan left the factory premises and got into the car, Miranda's face was still flushed with anger. To be honest, seeing the smug faces of her uncle's family was incredibly infuriating. However, what concerned her more was the issue Lachlan had raised.
"Lachlan, is there really something wrong with those raw materials?" Miranda asked, biting her lip. "Of course,” Lachlan nodded with certainty.
"What should we do? If they use these materials to produce drugs that go into the market, won't it harm people?" Miranda asked, her concern evident.
