Chapter 2862: Chapter 2862: Sudden Incident
Facing Jiang Zhongzhe’s questioning, Jin Hong’en, the number two man, turned pale.
Last night, Jiang Zhongzhe was not here.
The inspection of the drugs was entirely his responsibility.
So he was perfectly clear about what was going on.
Because he hadn’t tested the pills Lin Yi made, he couldn’t say for sure what they were like.
But as for the pills Li Dongying made, he was absolutely clear about them.
The situation Jiang Zhongzhe described was entirely accurate!
The overall efficacy was similar to others on the market, but the cost was a hundred times more.
And the pharmacologically active components were actually mixed in with Western medicine ingredients.
So, what Li Dongying made was essentially waste, yet he claimed it had six times the efficacy.
If it were truly investigated, it would surely come to light.
When they saw Jin Hong’en’s expression, even without saying anything, everyone sensed something was wrong.
If he had no guilt, he wouldn’t allow anyone to slander him.
At this moment, a journalist pointed a microphone at Jin Hong’en and asked:
"Mr. Jin Hong’en, I’d like to know how you view Professor Jiang’s results."
"This..."
Jin Hong’en hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"It... it may be that our test results were incorrect and need to be reevaluated."
"So, that means you acknowledge Professor Jiang’s results, right?"
"Y-yes..."
To keep his position, Jin Hong’en had no choice but to say so.
But the most nervous ones were still Li Xuanzhi and Li Dongying.
If this blew up, they would be completely discredited.
"Since you’ve all confirmed the conclusion, there’s no need to discuss the Cantong Qi’s authenticity further, right," Zhang Xiaoyun said standing up.
"This is too one-sided. Our Cantong Qi is genuine and does not involve any fraud."
"Everything must be based on facts. The contents recorded in your Cantong Qi are all unreliable and obviously nonsense, yet you keep claiming it’s real. You must be shameless!"
Zhang Xiaoyun, relentless when in the right, ruthlessly seized on their vulnerability, offering no chance for defense.
"Moreover, you previously said you successfully made many pills following your Cantong Qi, but they all showed signs of fraud after testing, so just stop arguing."
Li Dongying’s face went ashen; at this point, nothing he said could salvage the situation.
And online, the criticisms were overwhelming, getting out of control.
At this time, Zhang Youfu stood up and addressed everyone present:
"Regarding the authenticity of the pills, there is a clear answer. I think this matter no longer warrants further discussion."
After pausing, Zhang Youfu continued:
"As for the authenticity of the Cantong Qi, I believe it can’t be proved with a couple of pills. Further verification by other experts is needed to solve the issue, so let’s stop here for today."
Looking at the unpretentious Zhang Youfu, Li Yongnian smacked his lips, internally laughing to himself:
"No wonder Uncle Master always said Master could bluff. This is no empty talk."
"Right, right, right. Since there was a mistake in the test result, we can’t go on. Let’s all disperse," Li Xuanzhi said.
With this incident, those who prepared to rub it in left dejectedly.
And just then, Zhang Xiaoyun called Lin Yi.
"Uncle Master, you’re amazing, arranging everything beforehand, otherwise, we would’ve fallen into their trap."
"It’s nothing. As long as it’s resolved smoothly, that’s what matters."
Lin Yi had anticipated the outcome long ago, so he felt nothing about Zhang Xiaoyun’s words.
It would be surprising if the plot didn’t follow his script.
"There shouldn’t be any further events, right? When will you be coming back?"
"Sister Zhou plans to report this back. We’ve done a good job after all; she wants to apply for a day off from the top so we can have a day of fun before leaving, but it’s uncertain if it’ll be approved," Zhang Xiaoyun said cheerfully.
"Since there’s nothing left, I’ll head back by myself first," Lin Yi said:
"If you encounter any issues here, remember to call me right away."
"No, I want to go to the beach, and I’ve already bought a swimsuit just to show you. If you leave, it will be a waste."
"No worries, seeing it back home is the same, it doesn’t make much difference," Lin Yi laughed.
"Alright then, I’ll hang up first, I have other things to attend to."
"Go handle your matters."
The blue sea stretched, with the call ended, Lin Yi took a sip of juice.
Things here were wrapped up, and the system reward should be arriving soon.
Lin Yi rested his hands behind his head, watching the shimmering waves on the sea.
This was the last task in the Daoist profession; the next one was to be a firefighter, likely in Zhong Hai.
Being close to home is always a good thing.
Just then, the system notification sounded in his mind.
[Task complete: Reward 200,000 experience points.]
[Job completion rate: 100%, reward D-Level Strength.]
[New Profession: Firefighter (available for activation).]
Although it was the familiar interface, the D-Level Strength reward didn’t disappoint Lin Yi.
From past experience, it’s common for tasks of this level to offer billions in cash rewards.
This time, granting him D-Level Strength would significantly enhance his abilities, which is what he needed most now.
As for the New Profession, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to unlock it, planning to go home for a few days to keep Liang Ruoxu and Ji Qingyan company before taking on new tasks.
Ringing—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang.
Assuming it was Zhang Youfu or Zhou Jing calling, he was surprised to see it was from Liu Hong.
"Boss Liu."
"Where are you?"
"Vacationing in Corea, having a bikini party on the sea, want to come join in?"
"Stop messing around, come back quickly, Chen Shengli is missing."
Lin Yi abruptly sat up, his expression turning serious.
"What did you say? Brother Chen is missing."
"He didn’t show up for work this morning, and neither he nor his family’s phones can be reached. I sent someone to his house and couldn’t find him, plus his tracker malfunctioned. It’s serious, come back quickly."
"Got it."
Hanging up, Lin Yi called Lee Yongjin.
"Can I borrow your private jet? I need to return to the country now."
"Sure, I’ll have someone pick you up. You can board in two hours at the earliest."
