The detailed examination took a long time, and everyone waited for several hours before getting the test results.
Zhuang Yu looked very solemn and a little sad. After sending the results to them, he said, "Among the five people, the oldest patient is the most seriously ill. He no longer has a clear and complete consciousness. His body is very weak, and his reaction to the outside world is the slowest. His mental strength is almost gone."
There are two situations in which mental power disappears. One is that the mental sea is injured, causing the mental power to slowly fade away. The worst result is becoming a "disabled" person without mental power. The other is that mental power slowly dissipates and disappears with the passing of life. The weaker the human body, the faster the mental power dissipates, until the mental power completely dissipates and the human body dies.
His body was very weak, his mental strength was almost gone, and coupled with Zhuang Yu's grim expression, everyone instantly realized that the oldest patient probably didn't have much time left.
Georgia's ears drooped. Even though she didn't know the other person, she still felt sad.
Chu Rong raised his hand and touched his head, then looked at Zhuang Yu and motioned for her to continue.
"The one with the mildest symptoms is the young man with the highest mental power level and the best physical fitness among the five. He said his name is Edie, he is 25 years old, and a B-level mentalist. After taking the mitigating potion made by Qiao, his consciousness has recovered, but his mental power is still a little unstable, which needs to be treated slowly."
Zhuang Yu turned a page of the inspection data, showed them some of the things recorded on it, and continued, "I just took the time to ask him about his background. He said that his family had been slaves of a certain imperial noble for generations. Seeing that his mental power level was very high, his parents wanted to help him get rid of slavery. And his master was also very tolerant. After learning of his wish, he paved the way for him to go to school. He only needed to wait for him to get merit so that he could get rid of slavery and become an ordinary person. But a few years ago, his master was suddenly slandered and framed and died in prison. His way to study was cut short, and he and his family were all sent back to the slave market. Later, he was bought and given to the Yun family. He has been working on the Yun family's planet for many years. This is the first time he has come out in so many years."
"How many times has he drunk the potion?" Chu Rong asked.
"Once," Zhuang Yu answered, and added, "Each of them only drank it once, but Edie was smarter. When she was assigned to act, she was more careful. She only took a little bit of the potion and poured the rest into her sleeve, pretending that she had spilled water to get away with it."
Fan Xiangnan, who had been listening, suddenly spoke up and said, "If Yidi was bought and given to the Yun family, who bought her? The Empire does not allow slaves to be bought and sold across borders."
Chu Rong had thought of this problem as early as when he learned that the identities of these drug testers were slaves of the empire. Hearing this, he reminded: "The Ning family married a daughter to the empire."
He never believed that the Ning family had really cut off contact with the daughter who married into the empire. Over the years, the Ning family had always pretended to be low-key and smooth things over, staying out of the struggles among the big families. They always showed an appearance of being non-competitive and harmless to the outside world, and never had anything to do with the daughter who married into the empire. But what was the truth?
As soon as the presidential term came and the old king of the empire ran into problems, the Ning family began to make small moves and re-established contact with the empire.
If we rethink the cause and effect of the previous changes in the federal situation by adding the Ning family's role, then the empire's arrangement for students to come to school, the old king's sudden deterioration in health, and the president's increasingly outrageous behavior, all these things may all have the shadow of the Ning family.
His thoughts were drifting further and further away, and the ear that his hand was covering suddenly moved. Chu Rong came back to his senses, turned his head to glance at Georgia who was still in a bad mood, rubbed his ear again, and waved his hand to signal Zhuang Yu to continue.
Seeing that they had finished their conversation, Zhuang Yu hurriedly continued, "Also, Qiao's previous guess was correct. There are indeed two semi-finished products. They are the finished product when put together. Among the five people, the old man and the woman drank the semi-finished product that Qiao brought back. Edie should have drunk the finished product, which is not as stimulating. The remaining two drank another type of semi-finished product. The situations of the several people need to be analyzed separately."
As she spoke, she projected the three test results in the air and explained in detail: "The semi-finished potion that the old man and the woman drank had the most serious sequelae, and the reaction they gave after drinking the potion was also the greatest. In other words, their mental power increased rapidly in a short period of time after drinking the potion. Then there was Edie. He drank too little potion, so the effect of the potion could not be guessed, but he specifically emphasized that after drinking this potion, he couldn't forget about it for several days. I guess that the finished product finally weakened the effect of improving mental power and strengthened dependence. The situation of the remaining two people is completely opposite to that of the old man and the woman. After drinking the potion, their mental power had no reaction and they did not become dependent, but their consciousness was the most chaotic and their memory also had problems."
Having memory problems?
Chu Rong frowned and looked at Georgia beside him, feeling unhappy. If the Ning family did secretly conduct human experiments, then what Georgia experienced in her memory, could it be related to the Ning family?
If it really matters...
Georgia noticed that Chu Rong's breath suddenly became much heavier. She raised her eyes to look at him, and reflexively tilted her head to rub his palm, silently comforting him.
Chu Rong came back to his senses, his eyes relaxed, he stretched out his arms, picked him up, and held him in his arms.
When talking about serious matters, Chu Rong would never do any intimate actions towards him in front of others. Georgia was a little dazed by being hugged. Seeing that Zhuang Yu and Fan Xiangnan had no special reaction, she hesitated for a moment, then leaned obediently into Chu Rong's arms.
Maybe Chu Rong was in a bad mood... He thought so and rubbed Chu Rong's chest soothingly.
Chu Rong thought that he was sad because of the scene, so he tightened his arms even more.
While the two were trying to comfort each other despite the misunderstanding, Zhuang Yu had already started talking about other topics with Fan Xiangnan.
"The Ning family mixes the potions like this in order to create a situation where people with low mental strength will see a significant improvement after drinking the potion, people with high mental strength will see a smaller improvement, and some people will have no effect after drinking it?" Fan Xiangnan frowned and guessed.
Zhuang Yu nodded and explained, "This is called the sample effect. It is to pave the way for the situation in which 'some people' drink the potion but find no effect after the potion is released to the public. The Ning family did not plan to really sell these semi-finished products from the beginning. They just wanted to use them as a show to suppress the limelight of the stone grass potion. The potions they plan to sell later are all fake."
Fan Xiangnan was thoughtful after hearing this and guessed, "If it weren't for the fact that the commander was planning to launch the stone grass medicine to impact the medicine market and posed a threat to the Ning family, the Ning family probably wouldn't have allowed these medicines to appear. So the Ning family didn't make these medicines to sell, but for other purposes..."
"For human experiments." Zhuang Yu replied with a cold face, and turned the projection to the next page. He glanced at Chu Rong who had finished looking at him and said, "It has been confirmed that the finished drug will make the user addicted and gradually lose consciousness. This is a means of controlling the test subjects during human experiments. In addition, based on the fact that the drug temporarily increases mental strength, I speculate that the Ning family is doing human research related to mental strength. These slaves bought by the empire are just 'spare food'."
Chu Rong didn't expect that the final conclusion actually pointed directly to human experiments. He reflexively covered Georgia's ears with his hands so that he didn't want him to hear similar words.
Georgia looked up at him in confusion and twitched her ears.
Chu Rong frowned, slowly loosened his hand, touched his head, and said, "Treat them first. I will send someone to investigate the Ning family's affairs."
Zhuang Yu nodded and put away the projection.
"I'll help too." Georgia suddenly jumped out of his arms and said, "The three potions have different effects and need targeted treatment. I can try to make some new alleviating potions for them."
Zhuang Yu's expression relaxed a little after hearing this. He smiled at him and said, "It's great that you can help. Fortunately, you made the soothing medicine in advance, otherwise the old man in the most serious condition would probably have..."
The atmosphere became dull again. Chu Rong pinched Georgia's ears, which had become listless again, and tacitly agreed to his help.
Everyone went about their business separately, and Georgia went back into the lab.
Soon, the Ning family found themselves being targeted. Specifically, the spies they had planted in various federal departments suddenly began to make mistakes one after another or were involved in scandals. They were gradually replaced. At the same time, all the medicines they sent for review were confiscated, and they were unable to obtain certificates allowing them to sell. All aspects of their business operations were restricted.
On the other hand, the Gu family, which had been developing only outside the main star, suddenly announced that they would come back to develop the main star market. The first thing they did was to buy a building opposite the Ning family's pharmacy city and open a pharmacy city. They opened it immediately and put many cheap basic potions on the shelves at the same time, including the stone grass potion that was very popular during the festival.
In addition, when the Gu family was selling medicines, they would specially project the sales permit and testing certificate of the medicines next to them, so that people could buy them with peace of mind, as if they were deliberately mocking the Ning family for selling illegal medicines before.
In government affairs, Chu Huai also began to attack Ning Tianya, frequently and openly arguing with Ning Tianya on his proposals, demanding the revival of basic medicine, pointing out that medicines are only a means for doctors to treat diseases, not a panacea, and that the health of all the people in the federation cannot be pinned on bottles of medicines with fixed effects, and the status of medicines is too mythical.
In addition to the headquarters, the Gu family began to cooperate with Chu Huai and took the lead in raising the banner of reviving basic medicine.
A medical revolution is just around the corner, and the Ning family, which once represented "good medicine", is the one that needs to be changed.
The federal situation became lively again because of the open quarrel between the Chu family and the Ning family. On the surface, people only thought that the Chu family and the Ning family had different political views on medicine. Secretly, all the families knew that the Chu family wanted to crush the Ning family this time.
Chu Rong became busy, and Georgia was also busy. He stayed in the laboratory every day and finally developed a new palliative agent before the condition of the five patients worsened further.
After taking the new potion, Edie recovered quickly, and the conditions of the other three also began to slowly improve. Only the old man who called himself Rick became increasingly ill. Although his consciousness returned to normal under the influence of the potion, his already poor body could no longer be cured. If Georgia hadn't used wood magic to nourish his body every day, he would have died long ago.
"The sun is shining brightly today."
The gray-haired old man sat on a rattan chair in the yard, basking in the sun with a smile on his face. Seeing Georgia looking at him worriedly, he moved his hand to touch his head, but his eyes swept over the poor condition of his hand skin and silently gave up the idea. He turned his eyes to the rabbits jumping around in the yard and recalled: "I also liked rabbits when I was a child, but it's a pity that my parents didn't let me raise one. I can see that my life is almost over..."
"Grandpa Rick." Georgia called him worriedly.
The old man came back to his senses, smiled at him and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Georgia became more and more worried. After thinking for a while, she stood up, ran over, picked up a little rabbit and put it in the old man's arms, saying, "Grandpa Butler has been very busy these days, and he can't take care of the rabbit by himself. Let Grandpa Tolik help take care of this one for a few days."
The furry rabbit was lively and not shy. Its mouth and nose moved around and looked very cute. The old man smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the rabbit in his arms, looked at him lovingly, nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa will definitely make it fat."
Georgia gave him a bright smile in return.
"That Ning family..." the old man suddenly spoke.
Georgia's ears twitched, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and her expression became tense.
"Has the TV series 'Your Home, My Home' finished airing? What was the ending? I don't remember it." The old man suddenly changed the subject, looking very distressed and confused.
Georgia's ears softened, a smile reappeared on her face, and she took out her laptop and said, "I don't remember it either. Why don't you watch the ending again with me, Grandpa?"
The old man smiled and nodded quickly, but when he lowered his head to look at the computer, the smile on his face faded and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
Such a good life, I really want it to last forever.
The mecha driving competition is about to begin. After spending a few days with Grandpa Rick, Georgia has to start staying on the Star Network for a long time to replace the driving system for Rongtian.
In order to cope with the competition, he installed a mental driving system for Rong Tian. Now that he wants to test drive, he naturally has to change the driving system first.
The exotic beast materials on the Star Network are very complete, and all of them are virtual, so there is no psychological burden to use them. Georgia's research went smoothly. Then when the entire manual driving system was about to take shape, he encountered a problem - in reality, he could use magic to draw a perception magic circle on the water magic stone to complete the core of this system, but when he couldn't draw a perception magic circle on the Star Network, what should he do? You know, the jade on the Star Network is really just stone.
And there is another problem. Manually driving a mecha pursues the synchronization of body movements and mecha movements. However, on the Starnet, all people are virtual images created by mental power. Actions depend entirely on mental power. The body lies in the Starnet cabin and does not move at all. Movement is just an illusion that deceives oneself.
In other words, there is no such thing as a purely manually driven mecha on the Star Network. You use your mental power to access the Star Network, and what is active in it is a projection of your mental power. So no matter how you try, even if you personally wear a suit of armor to fight with the person driving the mecha, in essence it is just a fight between your mental power and the mental power of someone else.
In reality, people without mental power cannot access the Star Network at all, so if they want to train their bodies, they can only do so in reality.
All in all, it's totally unrealistic to test drive a manual driving system on StarNet, because at the end of the day, you're exercising your mental strength.
After realizing this, Georgia was completely discouraged and almost wanted to quit the competition. Chu Yan quickly stopped him and gave him a reason to continue participating in the competition: "You can't try the driving system, but you can try the mecha. Don't forget that the mecha you made is completely modified. If you don't try it, how do you know which modifications are good and which modifications are unnecessary?"
Georgia was awakened by this and cheered up again.
Yes, he was test driving not only for the manual driving system, but also to see the performance and coordination of the various parts of the mecha. He had been too picky before.
After cheering himself up, he immediately removed the half-failed manual driving system installed on Rong Tian and replaced it with the previous mental driving system. Then, in order to thank Chu Yan for his reminder, he also helped him make a weapon while making it for himself.
A few days later, the rules and schedule of the mecha driving competition were sent over.
This competition is different from the previous Starnet Mecha Manufacturing Competition. It is scheduled from 2pm to 5pm every weekend. The schedule includes preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. The preliminary rounds are held on Starnet, and each group of 100 people will compete in the points competition. The top ten winners will enter the next round, and then the winners will continue to gather 100 people for the points competition until the top 1,000 in this region are decided.
Georgia and Chu Yan both belong to the Federation Star Division, and because their registration times were close, they were actually assigned to the same venue in the first game.
"It's okay. Only the top ten will be admitted. This is also a points competition. Even if we meet and lose to each other, it won't be a big deal." Chu Yan comforted with a very good attitude.
Georgia nodded, and when she saw the countdown was over, she waved at him and teleported into her waiting room.
The scoring rules for this mecha driving competition are the same as the rules of the intermediate college final competition that Chu Yan participated in. One point is awarded for each win and one point is deducted for each loss. However, the rules of this competition are more cruel. It is stipulated that if a contestant loses three games in a row in the competition, he will be eliminated directly no matter how good his previous results were.
We can’t lose three games in a row… Georgia patted her face, encouraged herself, and set a goal in her mind - she must not be eliminated in the first round, and at least she must make it through this points game!
At exactly two o'clock, the game began and the system started matching opponents. Georgia finally confirmed Rongtian's status and chose to log in to the mecha.
The match was quickly successful, and after the countdown ended, he was teleported into the battle room. Standing opposite him was an unfamiliar cyan mecha, and a countdown for the start of the battle was hanging right above the room.
Georgia breathed a sigh of relief—the cyan mecha was not Xiaoyan.
In order to prevent cheating, players are prohibited from communicating in the battle room, so after the countdown for the battle was over, Georgia skipped the friendly greetings and without hesitation took out a huge hammer and rushed towards his opponent with great momentum.
The pure mental driving system still has its advantages. At least after becoming familiar with the basic operations, he can completely ignore the high-level mecha operations that require learning and training, and only use his own fighting skills to fight.
I saw a tall black mecha holding a big hammer rushing towards the dazed blue mecha at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its height and size, and then it hit it directly with the hammer.
Bang!
The shoulder of the cyan mecha was disabled, and the system determined that the cyan mecha was too damaged to continue fighting, and contestant Joe won the game.
Georgia was stunned for a moment, looking at the blue mecha in front of her that didn't resist or dodge at all, wondering - strange, why didn't this opponent dodge, was he a novice, or was he scared?
After the game, the players were teleported back to the waiting room. The damage and energy consumed by the mecha during the game were automatically restored, and the system began to match the next game.
Georgia quickly put his doubts behind him, and looked forward to the next game with some excitement and joy. It was so easy to win a game. If everyone in the preliminary round was at the same level as the cyan mecha, he would still be confident that he could make it through this round.
On the other side, the cyan mecha player who was also teleported back to the waiting room finally came back to his senses. His expression was blank for a few seconds, then he covered his face in collapse and growled.
That's right! That black mecha was definitely made by Georgia, a celebrity on Starnet, for Marshal Chu! After the game, the picture of that mecha was very popular on the forum for a long time. He would never make a mistake! And that mecha was patented. Georgia did not open the patent after the game, so there was only one mecha like that in the entire Starnet!
Oh my God, he actually met an internet celebrity in this kind of competition, and was foolishly defeated in one move by the opponent because he was too shocked!
Shame! So shameful!
If the person in that mecha is Marshal Chu... Wait! Marshal Chu would never come to participate in this kind of competition, so who is the person in that mecha?
The wild attacking moves, the unique weapons, the wild driving style... Could it be that Young Master Chu borrowed Marshal Chu's mecha to participate in the competition? That's not right. He heard that Young Master Chu took the route of quick battles and erratic skills, not this barbaric route.
Before he could figure it out, the opponent for the second game had already been matched, and he was teleported into the battle room, where a familiar silver-gray speed-type mecha appeared opposite him.
Wait, wait, why does this mecha look familiar? Isn't this Chu——
The countdown ended, and he watched helplessly as the silver-grey mecha rushed towards him at a very fast speed and with an erratic route. He tried to operate the mecha to dodge, but it was of no use. His mecha shoulder was attacked again, and then the mecha was severely damaged and unable to fight, and was judged as the loser by the system.
Being teleported back to the contestant waiting room again, he stared at the ceiling numbly, feeling hopeless.
The appearance and attack style of the mecha just now were definitely from Young Master Chu, so who was driving the black mecha before? It couldn't be Georgia, right? Hahahaha, how could Georgia, a weak mecha maker, come to participate...
He suddenly remembered the small hammer that Georgia used to great effect when creating the game, and the huge hammer in the black mecha's hand. The awkward smile on his face disappeared and turned into shock.
He remembered that the black mecha had a matching weapon, which seemed to be a black dagger, but in the previous game, the black mecha took out a hammer...Georgia's favorite hammer...
No, that won’t happen.
Georgia found that there seemed to be a lot of novices participating in this competition. They were always slow to react at the beginning of the game. Most of them would only remember to counterattack or dodge after he attacked, but it was often too late by then. With a hammer and a special mecha, ordinary mechas could not withstand such an attack at all.
Soon the first round of competition ended, and he and Chu Yan both advanced successfully. When the final qualified players gathered together to announce the points, he saw that the blue mecha that lost to him in the first game was also standing in the team. He was a little surprised and a little happy, and based on the principle of mutual respect among newcomers, he waved to the other party in a friendly manner.
The reaction of the blue mecha was strange. It froze for a moment, then touched the mecha's shoulder, and finally gave him a very mechanical wave.
After the game, Georgia excitedly logged off the StarNet to share the good news with Chu Rong, but she found that Chu Rong, who usually worked in the study at this time, was waiting next to the StarNet cabin with a heavy expression.
Georgia's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face froze. She vaguely realized something and asked with a stutter, "What, what happened?"
"Like is dead." Chu Rong replied, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, touched the back of his head, and said: "Come on, accompany me to bring him back."
Georgia was a little confused, then suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Bring him back? Isn't Grandpa Li Ke at home?"
Chu Rong's expression darkened when he mentioned this. He shook his head and replied, "He's not here. Rick stole a hovercraft after lunch and ran out of the Chu residence. I don't know how he found his way to the Ning family's pharmacy city and died at the gate of the pharmacy city."
No one expected Rick's move this time. Before this, he did think about using this group of rescued drug testers to attack the Ning family, but the person he chose was Edie, and the plan had to be more roundabout, in order to try his best to save these imperial slaves.
As a result, before he could make detailed arrangements and lay the groundwork, Rick used his own death to personally retaliate against the Ning family, and was the first to tear off the Ning family's hypocritical mask.
"He's a hero." Chu Rong held Georgia, who was completely stunned, in his arms, touched his gradually trembling shoulders, lowered his head and kissed the top of his head soothingly, and said, "He won't die in vain, believe me."
Not only did Rick die in front of the gate of Ning's Pharmacy City, he also cut his wrists and smeared his blood all over the steps at the gate of Ning's Pharmacy City before he died. He also scattered many copies of his own confession around, using every method he could think of to maximize the impact of his death.
After the Ning family found out something was wrong, they tried to take him away on the pretext of treating him. The Gu family on the other side heard the news and arrived in time to stop them. They set up a temporary emergency room on the side of the road and treated Li Ke in full view of all the onlookers.
But unfortunately, Rick was too weak and lost too much blood, and he could not be rescued.
After all this trouble, Rick successfully expanded the influence of his death. The news that a patient had committed suicide in front of the Ning family's door to express his will quickly spread throughout the entire federal upper class. The confession he distributed before his death was also posted on the Star Network forum, along with a picture of the steps in front of the Ning family's pharmacy stained with blood.
Soon, the quick-handed people found Rick's figure in the festival video of the celebration square and confirmed that he was indeed one of the people who went to the Ning family to test the medicine.
Public opinion was in an uproar, and the confession letter left by Rick was spread wildly.
The confession was not long, only more than ten lines. In the book, Rick gave a brief introduction to his identity, and then explained when he was bought by the Ning family as a slave, how he was transported to the Federation headquarters and forced to act in public to test drugs, and finally how he was rescued on the way to death.
He made it clear that the Ning family's so-called mental power-enhancing potion was just a stimulating drug. In order to ensure that what he said was true, he was willing to donate his body for research so that the public could find out the truth.
Rick had been a slave all his life and had a low level of education. The confession was not well written and even had many grammatical errors, but everyone who read it couldn't help crying.
What kind of despair and hatred would make a person resolutely choose to use death to reveal the truth after being rescued?
After this incident broke out, the Ning family's already precarious image in the minds of the people completely collapsed.
When Georgia and Chu Rong arrived at the Gu Family Pharmacy City, Rick had already been put into a medical coffin. His already bad complexion had turned extremely pale due to the heavy bleeding before death. Lying there, he did not look like a dead person, but rather like a dummy.
The person who had greeted and chatted with him in the morning had gone to another world in the blink of an eye. Georgia, who had never been in such close contact with death, was completely confused, but he managed to keep his emotions stable and did not collapse. He personally went forward to help Rick change into new clothes, and then placed the rabbit doll he had made in the morning next to him.
Chu Rong accompanied him throughout the whole process, and only after he had packed up did he step forward and put Rick's coffin into a special medical space button - because of Rick's will, his body would be used for research and could not be buried for the time being.
Georgia finally burst into tears after the coffin was taken away, but he quickly wiped away his tears, turned his head to look in the direction of Ning's Pharmacy City, and for the first time, clear disgust appeared in his eyes.
"They will pay the price." Chu Rong held him in his arms and patted his back soothingly: "It will be soon. The Ning family is finished."
Ning family.
Ning Tianxing leaned back on the sofa, looking at Ning Tianya who was in a very bad mood, and said, "I just went to the empire, and such a big thing happened at home. Why didn't you ask me before making a decision?"
“Brother, I…” Ning Tianya opened his mouth to defend himself, but found that he didn’t know where to start. In the end, he could only anxiously say: “Brother, what should we do now? The Chu family holds the evidence of our drug testing. This matter has been completely torn apart. The situation is very unfavorable to us!”
"Of course I know it's disadvantageous. In fact, the moment we were targeted by the Chu family, the situation was already very unfavorable to us. With Chu Rong's style of not releasing the eagle until he sees the rabbit, the Ning family is basically half finished." Ning Tianxing's tone was calm as if he was talking about someone else's family, and he even took a sip of the tea.
Ning Tianya became more anxious when he saw this, and said, "I haven't told the old man about this matter yet, big brother, you should think of a solution quickly. The presidential transition is just around the corner, and now the situation is-"
"Don't even think about the position of president. It will only belong to Chu Huai." Ning Tianxing waved his hand to interrupt him, turned the teacup, and said, "I've said it before, be low-key, and show weakness when appropriate. Tianya, I promoted you to the position of chairman, a position even higher than Chu Huai's. After so many years of influence, how come you haven't improved at all? The Chu family wants to clear the pharmaceutical market, and you let them do it. These are just small losses. Even if you cooperate with him once and use the benefits to win back some people's hearts, it can be considered a good deal. Your mistake is that you are too aggressive."
Now Ning Tianya also felt that he was confused at the time and had to go against the Chu family, but things have come to this point, and it is meaningless to say these things. The top priority now is to stabilize the situation of the Ning family first!
"Brother!" He was so anxious that he couldn't even utter complete words. He just frowned and looked at Ning Tianxing, hoping that he would stop being so slow and give an idea as soon as possible.
Ning Tianxing frowned at his impatience and scolded him, "Look at you, you got so anxious over such a small incident. How can the Ning family count on you in the future? The Ning family will indeed be hit hard in the current situation, but it may not be finished. However, if you continue to be so anxious and reveal more flaws for the Chu family to investigate, then the Ning family will be truly finished. What you have to do now is to catch the traitor as soon as possible and admit to the things outside. The more you cover up, the more things will be exposed."
Ning Tianya was stunned when he heard this, and then shocked: "Insider? Brother, you mean..."
Ning Tianxing put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "Although you used to get impatient, you would never do anything stupid. This time, you were so stupid that even I find it unbelievable. Think carefully, who was it that whispered alarmist words in your ear and asked you to launch the so-called new medicine and put the handle in front of the Chu family? Think carefully again, who gave you the confidence to think that the idea of drug testing was a good one, so good that you could implement it without asking for my opinion. Think carefully, think it through."
Who was it back then... Ning Tianya's mind first flashed with the face of Old Man Ning, then he quickly shook his head to deny this option, and then thought about it carefully, and finally remembered someone.
"Kong An?" He exclaimed, then shook his head again and said, "It's definitely not him. Although Kong An often accompanied the old man some time ago and did always ask about the new potion, it shouldn't be-"
"That's him." Ning Tianxing interrupted him, waved his hand and said, "Take him for a checkup to see if he has drunk anything strange recently or has been in contact with any strange people. You'd better get some checks too."
Check up? What does this mean? Ning Tianya became more and more confused.
"You're still researching this." Ning Tianxing was really annoyed by his stupidity. He snorted coldly and said, "Mind control, use your tricks to deal with you, this traitor is quite interesting."
Ning Tianya finally came to his senses and was shocked.
Big brother, what you mean is that he, Ning Kongan, or even the old man have all had their mental powers controlled by someone without knowing it?
If this speculation is true, then... He couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt a chill on his spine.
The day after the incident of Rick's death, Ning Tianya held a press conference and straightforwardly admitted to the act of drug testing. After a sincere apology, he said that he would bear the consequences of Rick's death, and announced the temporary closure of all pharmaceutical industries under the Ning family for rectification. Finally, he took the initiative to resign from the position of chairman of the parliament and left the federal power system.
The Ning family apologized very straightforwardly, and the price they were willing to pay was far greater than people had imagined. The people who were about to scold them were stunned for a moment, and their attention was unconsciously diverted from the drug trial incident itself.
The press conference ended briefly, and then news about the Ning family closing down its pharmaceutical industry continued to break out. News also emerged that Chu Huai would replace Ning Tianya after he resigned from his position. Then there were rumors that the Ning family's drug testing incident was caused by a rival family planting spies in the Ning family.
After this rumor appeared, some people on Starnet suddenly began to recall the various contributions that the Ning family had made to the Federation.
