Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1417

Chris went to Zuko's house to inform him about the investigation results regarding the sleeping pills. "Even though there wasn't a label on the bottle, some medicine dealers in this field have been around for years and can recognize this type of medicine by the bottle itself."

"You're quite resourceful." Zuko chuckled. "Even the drug dealers recognize you!"

Chris raised an eyebrow.

This was the difference between him and other members of the Hamertons—he was familiar with people from all walks of life.

"This type of medicine was withdrawn from the market a few years ago," Chris explained. "Because many people were using it as a suicide potion."

"What?" Zuko listened in surprise.

"Those who purchased this medicine didn't plan to use it for suicide," Chris remarked casually. "I've heard from the dealers that many buyers at that time were girls caught up in tricky relationships. They faked suicide attempts to try and win back their partners.

"By using a specific amount of this medicine, it seemed severe on the surface, but it actually didn't pose any significant danger.

"Unlike regular sleeping pills, which can have lasting effects if taken in excess, this medicine doesn't. That's why it's also called 'Safe Bet'."

Zuko narrowed his eyes, thinking, 'Safe Bet? This was why even the doctors were deceived!'

"This medicine can help people deceive others, but it doesn't work for those who truly need sleeping pills to sleep better. That's why authorities banned it a few years ago, yet it's still being sold on the black market."

"So... Renee probably bought it from the black market?" Zuko speculated.

Chris pursed his lips. "Most likely."

"How did she get in touch with people from the black market?"

"Well, I couldn't find that out." Chris chuckled. "Your father-in-law's the expert in that area."

Realization struck Zuko, and the cousins exchanged a knowing smile.
