Inside the ward.
The patient was a middle-aged man who slowly sat up with the help of others.
Zhuang Wen couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he watched his clumsy performance.
Cameras and microphones were all pointed at him.
In front of everyone, he put on a pitiful look and sighed:
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin, I didn't mean to cause you trouble. It's just that after taking the Chinese medicine, my body just couldn't take it anymore, so I ended up in the emergency room and almost died..."
"Besides, I haven't fully recovered yet, and I still have chest pains from time to time, so I've been a bit slow in serving everyone..."
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I definitely won't talk nonsense. My health is so poor, even without taking the Chinese medicine pills produced by your company, I might still end up in the emergency room..."
"I agree to the compensation you mentioned when you came that day, as long as you stop harassing us, we'll agree to whatever conditions you set..."
"..."
Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Lin Ni's pretty face turned pale, her pearly teeth biting her red lips. She clenched her fists, feeling both angry and helpless.
Clearly, the middle-aged man said this on purpose to put her and Yuzhu Pharmaceutical in a very difficult position.
His words were not only heard by them, but also seen by the people watching the live broadcast!
That's a brilliant tactic of feigning retreat to advance!
Zhuang Wen remained calm and watched the man's performance quietly.
A reporter asked, "Excuse me, did you really take Chinese medicine pills before you went to the emergency room? You were perfectly healthy before that?"
"Yes... oh no, really no, my body has always been like this, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese medicine pills produced by Yuzhu Pharmaceutical. Please don't misunderstand..."
Under everyone's gaze, the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Ni, whose face was ashen, and whispered, "President Lin, is it alright if I say this?"
Whoosh!
All eyes and cameras turned to Lin Ni.
Lin Ni's face turned pale instantly.
Many comments flashed across the live stream screen:
"So it really is as the internet says! The traditional Chinese medicine pills produced by Yuzhu Pharmaceutical are poisonous!"
"Don't listen to what he says. You can't spread rumors without evidence! Listen to what he says first!"
"This isn't evidence? You've already sent someone to the hospital! What, does evidence only count when someone's in their coffin?"
"Didn't you hear what the patient said? Yuzhu Pharmaceutical must have forced him to say those things. Otherwise, why would he have said something like, 'Is it okay for President Lin to say this?' The patient is so pitiful! Even after all this, Yuzhu Pharmaceutical still won't let him go and continues to pressure him!"
"Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals is a terrible company! This is their true colors! I will never buy their medicine again!"
Upon noticing this, Zhuang Wen was about to step forward and use his [Heart-stirring] skill when he heard Liu Miaoqing's clear voice ask, "That day, besides taking Chinese medicine, did you eat anything else? Could it be due to drug interactions...?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Before the middle-aged man, who was the patient, could speak, a young man in his thirties dressed in black hurriedly interrupted, "My uncle only ate some noodles that day, just plain noodles in soup, he definitely didn't take any other medicine!"
"Yes, yes, my nephew is right!"
After receiving a strange look from the young man in black, the middle-aged man nodded confidently.
"Are you his nephew?"
Liu Miaoqing also keenly sensed something was wrong, so she questioned the young man in black.
"Yes, we are distant relatives."
The young man in black forced a smile.
Liu Miaoqing frowned; she already sensed something was wrong. Just as she was about to ask further, the middle-aged woman who rushed into the ward impatiently interrupted her, "He's our distant relative, no need to ask, he definitely is!"
Seeing this, Liu Miaoqing could only suppress her doubts for the time being.
Lu Ruxue, Lin Ni, and the others also had a hint of doubt in their hearts.
But they didn't say anything, because if they did, those people would yell at them and disrupt the peace of the entire ward area.
Zhuang Wen blinked, sensing something was wrong. Seeing Lin Ni's dim eyes, he felt a pang of pity and prepared to end their performance.
Amidst numerous gazes, he strode out and stood before the young man in black.
Cameras and microphones were all pointed at him.
"What...what are you going to do?!"
The young man in black couldn't help but take a step back, somewhat afraid of Zhuang Wen's sharp gaze.
"I'm asking you, are you the patient's nephew?"
Zhuang Wen asked.
"Yes, yes, I'm a distant relative of his!"
The young man in black answered.
Where do you live?
Zhuang Wen pressed for an answer.
"My home is... what's it to you? What does this have to do with my uncle's illness?"
The young man in black was about to answer when his face turned pale, and he immediately changed the subject.
You're lying!
Zhuang Wen frowned.
[Ding! The "Heart-stirring" skill has been triggered!]
The young man in black was about to retort angrily, but for some reason, he felt as if an electric current had surged through his body, and his consciousness changed again and again without him even realizing it.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I was lying just now. I'm not a distant relative of the patient."
Wow!
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Whether it was people inside the ward or people outside who heard it, everyone felt somewhat shocked.
A pair of eyes stared wide open.
What's going on?
Was his status as a distant relative fake?
He is not the patient's nephew, nor is the patient his uncle.
Moreover, how did he admit it himself?
Everyone felt that the scene was somewhat surreal.
Unlike the astonishment and doubt of others, the patients and their families turned deathly pale instantly.
