A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362

Joseph picked up Jeffrey’s medical file and saw that the poison was identical to Belinda’s. If he wanted to treat Jeffrey, the poison could be neutralized with little difficulty.

But if Jenna and the others handled it instead, it would take considerably longer.

As long as Jenna didn’t make any major mistakes and did her best, Jeffrey’s life wasn’t really in danger.

But that window of time was more than enough for Belinda to carry out whatever she had planned./

Joseph muttered to himself, “Is this Jeffrey important to Cora? He’s only 30. What exactly is his relationship with her? Is he another one of her affairs?

“Or maybe Cora is using Jeffrey to test me. If I agree to save Jeffrey, she’ll assume I’ll eventually agree to save Jonas, too. Does she really think I’ve thrown away my dignity?” 1

Joseph pulled up Jonas’ records again. After the last infection, Jonas had insisted on conservative treatment instead of more aggressive intervention. This resulted in a painfully slow recovery period.

Meanwhile, the outsiders targeting the Zahn family had already infiltrated the Traditional Medicine Center. Jonas remained one of their primary targets; he ended up with multiple infections afterward, and his condition was getting worse.

If Jonas hadn’t stubbornly refused to consent, his genitalia might already have been amputated.

Joseph smiled coldly. “Cora, I doubt you’d accept an outcome like that.”

He set the matter aside for the time being and instead turned his attention to the intelligence Peyton and the others had gathered on the Zahns.

This time, the outsiders had dug so deeply that nearly every secret the Zahn family possessed had been laid bare, giving Joseph a clear picture of them.

But Joseph’s interests lay elsewhere. He focused on tracing the accounts funding the Zahn medical sect.

Jenna and the others clearly weren’t businessmen. Maintaining an organization as large as the Zahn medical sect required enormous funding.

The specialized resources Owen needed for his treatments were the reason for the Zahn medical sect’s existence. Those resources were definitely controlled by the Zahn family’s core enterprises.

Eventually, one company caught Joseph’s attention. It was Jenton Evercrest Industrial Group. He immediately contacted Peyton to have them target this company next.

Peyton’s group worked quickly, and by evening, they sent Joseph a comprehensive breakdown of Evercrest Industrial’s corporate structure. The report also listed targets for Joseph to choose.

A biomedical laboratory?

Following nothing but his instincts, Joseph had Peyton and her men target the biomedical lab first.

The next morning, a courier delivered a package containing photographs. The biomedical laboratory belonging to Evercrest Industrial had been completely destroyed.

A raging fire had swallowed the entire facility. Explosions triggered by chemical reagents had ripped through the building, reducing everything inside to ashes.

Joseph sent one of his own staff to verify the scene. It was quickly reported that the laboratory building was nothing but a pile of ash.

Just after ten, Shirley called. Joseph ignored it, and when she continued trying to reach him, he simply blocked her number.

Half an hour later, an elderly woman arrived at the clinic. She was Shirley’s mother, and she insisted on seeing Joseph. However, she was refused as well.

When the elderly woman claimed she was seeking medical treatment instead, the receptionist gently advised her to visit a hospital and eventually persuaded her to leave.

Not long afterward, Helen arrived. This time, Joseph instructed the receptionist to let her in.
