It might be because the ground temperature is too high, the tire of the car in front exploded.

The loud bang just now was the sound of the tire of the car in front exploding.

"It was the car in front that had a blowout, no one attacked us," Sienna Johnson said to Adrian Desmond.

Adrian Desmond and Sally didn’t put away their guns, but kept a vigilant eye on the car in front.

"Adrian, this is Sileria City, not Abyanabad, it’s just a tire blowout, don’t overthink it."

The car was swerving on the road, thankfully it was in front of them, if it were behind, it might have hit their car.

The car in front finally stopped, and two men got out, looked at the tire, spotted Sienna Johnson’s car, and one tall, thin man walked towards them.

"Put your guns away. If they see you with guns illegally, we will be in trouble."

Adrian put away his gun, but Sally kept hers at her side, hand not leaving it.

Knock knock...

Their car window was knocked, and Adrian rolled it down slightly, letting in a wave of heat.

"What’s the matter?" Adrian asked coldly.

"Hello, our car had a tire blowout, and we don’t have a spare. Can you give us a ride? We need to go to Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory. Just drop us off somewhere we can get a ride."

Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory?

Sienna didn’t expect they were also headed to Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory, so she asked, "What are you going there for?"

Upon hearing this, the man’s face was filled with anger, "Don’t mention it, we’re going to find their manager. They sold us counterfeit medicinal ingredients, and just as the quality supervision bureau did a spot check on us, our factory was ordered to suspend operations for rectification.

That’s why we’re here, to demand an explanation from them."

Sienna’s face darkened; she hadn’t expected the situation to be this serious.

She herself owned a pharmaceutical factory, and having one suspended for rectification involved not just economic losses but also reputation.

The pharmaceutical industry is closely monitored because it concerns human lives. The trouble they’re in this time likely isn’t small.

"Get in the car!"

"Thank you so much." The people seeking assistance didn’t expect them to be so accommodating, and thanked them repeatedly.

"Can you wait a moment, we have some things in the car."

"Sure."

Adrian saw they were just ordinary people, so he put away the gun, turned and teased Sienna,

"What do you think, if they found out you’re the legal representative of Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory, would they beat you up?"

Sienna was in a bad mood, "I’m not in the mood to joke with you."

"Haha, interesting."

The three men got in the car, and the outside temperature was too high. The ground was almost over forty degrees, so they all smelled of sweat. Sally handed a mint-scented sachet to Sienna, worried she might feel nauseous again.

"I’m Jay Cohen, he’s Bay Cohen, and he’s Ray Cohen; we’re three brothers. What’s your name?" asked the eldest, Jay Cohen.

"Sienna Johnson! My husband is Adrian Desmond, and she’s Sally..." introduced Sienna.

"Thank you so much. This desolate place with no villages or shops; the temperature could roast us. If not for you giving us a ride, we’d be doomed."

"No need to thank us."

"... "

"You just mentioned Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory selling you counterfeit traditional medicine, can I have a look?"

Two people took out a small case, and Sienna smelled the scent of traditional medicinal ingredients.

"Why?" Jay couldn’t understand why Sienna wanted to see their counterfeit medicine.

"I’m the legal representative of Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory."

"You’re the unethical person selling fake medicine?" Jay’s expression towards Sienna changed immediately, filled with anger and reproach.

"I also run a pharmaceutical factory, I understand how you must feel. I’ll be honest with you, Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory has always been managed by my foster brother, I haven’t been very involved.

I just found out about this recently, so here I am, with a big belly, to investigate what’s going on.

If my foster brother indeed did such an unethical thing, rest assured I won’t condone it, and I’ll ensure justice for all of you," said Sienna sincerely.

Jay looked at Sienna’s big belly, soon due for delivery, and realized he couldn’t vent his anger.

"We won’t hide it from you either. This time our Thornton Pharmaceutical Factory was sealed off, unless Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory gives us a satisfactory explanation, we won’t let it go."

Sienna earnestly promised, "Rest assured, I’ll give you an explanation."

Jay, normally talkative, became less inclined to talk after realizing Sienna’s identity.

Sienna, however, kept sparking the conversation, her voice clear and her attitude friendly.

"Thornton Pharmaceutical Factory, I’ve never heard of it before, what kind of medicine does your factory produce?"

Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory is well-known; they launch new medicines almost every quarter, and such a strong R&D capability makes others envious.

Seeing Sienna’s good attitude, not looking like someone trying to weasel out, and now discussing topics he was interested in, Jay Cohen started talking with Sienna.

"We’re a small pharmaceutical factory, our family ancestor was a Royal Physician, and it’s those family medicine recipes that support us, but now with advancing medicine, we don’t have much advantage..."

"... "

"Unlike President Johnson’s Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory, with such a strong R&D team," Jay said enviously.

Sienna had Sally give each of them a bottle of bottled water, and they thanked her, reducing their hostility towards her.

"One-third of Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory’s profits go to maintaining the R&D Department every year. Our investment is also significant."

Jay said, "We’re a small pharmaceutical factory, naturally we can’t compare with President Johnson’s factory."

Sienna thought for a moment and said, "If it’s confirmed that Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory sold counterfeit medicinal ingredients, apart from compensating for the related losses, I’ll also give you the formula for a newly developed effective medicine for treating thrombosis from Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory."

Jay and his brothers were momentarily speechless, "This, how could this be?"

"I also run a pharmaceutical factory, I know what it means to have a factory sealed off. If it’s possible, use that formula to restore your reputation."

"Then, thank you, President Johnson," Jay said.

Ray took out the counterfeit medicine from the box for Sienna to see, "Look, all these medicines are fake. Gastrodia is faked with mirabilis roots; Morinda officinalis with dogbane vines, and fritillary with Lijiang lily-turf false bulbs... even safflower is faked using dyed corn silk...

It’s outrageous!"

Sienna, very familiar with traditional medicinal ingredients, didn’t need to take them; by looking, smelling, and feeling, she could tell the ingredients were problematic.

"I have a question."
