Chapter 947: Health Products Replaced with Poison (Update 1)
Because there were too many victims, the news of accidents happening in Cheng’s restaurants could no longer be suppressed.
The topic related to #Cheng's Restaurant Food Poisoning# on the Internet has gradually become more popular, and photos of more than 100 victims being sent to the emergency department of the Third Hospital of the Imperial Capital have also been exposed one after another.
Netizens were in an uproar.
What's going on these days? Why are there so many cases of food poisoning?
[And they're all restaurants under the Cheng family. Cheng's restaurant management is terrible. If there's a problem with the ingredients, don't they just replace them with fresh ones?]
[Why do I feel like it's not the ingredients that are to blame? The restaurants where the food poisoning occurred are all of different quality, and the ingredients used should not be from the same batch. They are not from the same batch of ingredients, yet all the poisoning incidents occurred... Is there something fishy going on?]
One restaurant with food poisoning might be a coincidence, but three restaurants with food poisoning incidents in a row make me feel like someone is poisoning them.
This speculation quickly caused panic online.
Some people think it is too coincidental that three restaurants had accidents at the same time, while others think it is too much of a conspiracy theory and that maybe the ingredients were just not fresh.
Just as the two groups were arguing, someone suddenly exposed the progress of the poisoning victim's condition online.
My second uncle's nephew works as a security guard at the Imperial Capital Third Hospital. He said the victims are in a very serious condition, and all of them are still unconscious! This is definitely not food poisoning! Someone under the Cheng family poisoned them!
The revelations from insiders pushed the public's panic to a new climax.
Cheng's restaurant chain has so many restaurants, spread across the entire capital and even the entire country. Tens of thousands of people dine in these restaurants every day. If, as the insider said, it wasn't food poisoning, but deliberate poisoning, how many people would be harmed?
[Oh shit… I just ate at a western-style restaurant owned by Cheng’s the day before yesterday. Could I have been poisoned too? [Panic]]
I ate at a buffet run by Chengdu last week and have been feeling unwell for the past week. Could I have been poisoned?
[Me too! I've been feeling mentally drained these past few days after eating at Cheng's restaurant! Damn it! I need to go to the hospital and get checked out!]
Modern people live under great pressure and often experience mental fatigue.
Initially, no one took it seriously, believing it was just a case of sub-health. However, after being mentioned online, netizens were horrified to discover that they had all eaten at Cheng's restaurants before experiencing these symptoms.
This time, everyone was shocked.
The internet was instantly in chaos, and at this moment, a piece of heavy news turned the already chaotic public opinion upside down again.
#Chengshi Pharmaceutical’s drugs are suspected to have been replaced#!!!
…
"What did you say?! The medicine was replaced?!"
Ruan Qi returned home from the Third Hospital late at night. Before she could even have dinner, she received a call from Shen Wenqian.
She stood up from her chair in an instant.
"Is this information authentic? Are you sure it's a pharmacy under the Cheng family?"
"Confirmed." Shen Wenqian's voice was filled with anger. "This news was exposed by the official media. They said that a woman bought health products from Cheng's Pharmaceuticals and started to feel dizzy after taking them for a month. This woman had previously undergone brain surgery for a tumor. When she experienced dizziness, she was worried that the tumor had recurred, so she went to the hospital for a checkup. To her surprise, the final test results showed brain nerve damage! The blood test also failed multiple indicators!"
"This aunt had a full physical examination a month ago, and all indicators were normal. If she hadn't taken a lot of random medications, it would be impossible for her body to be ruined like this in such a short time. The aunt's daughter felt something was wrong, so she sent the bottle of health supplement for testing. Guess what happened -"
"The test results show that the medicine in that bottle is not a health supplement at all! It is a poison that is extremely harmful to the brain nerves!"
Ruan Qi had been busy at the hospital for two days and was so sleepy when she got home that she had no time to check Weibo. But as Shen Wenqian's manager, he needed to monitor online public opinion at all times, so he knew about the news as soon as it broke.
He angrily told Ruan Qi the whole story.
After hearing this, Ruan Qi's first reaction was disbelief.
As a person with normal values, she really couldn't imagine how someone could replace health medicine with poison and then watch the people who bought the medicine take it.
Is this still a human being?
Even animals know not to eat their own kind, but thoughtful humans living in a civilized age actually use such horrific methods to harm their own kind!
The anger in Ruan Qi's heart suddenly exploded.
Shen Wenqian heard her suppressed breathing over the phone and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Qi, was this also done by Xu Qingya and that organization?"
"Who else could it be except them?" Ruan Qi's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
She has always had a soft temper. The education she received from Nie Beilou and her parents has made her very tolerant and she rarely gets angry.
But this time, Ruan Qi really couldn't control her anger.
What Xu Qingya and Organization X did had already crossed her bottom line as a Chinese and a doctor!
Ruan Qi suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and said to Shen Wenqian in a cold voice: "Brother Shen, I will be very busy recently. If you can postpone some announcements for me, please do so."
Shen Wenqian also knew the priorities of the matter and quickly agreed.
"I know. I've given you a day off recently. Do whatever you want."
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Ruan Qi tried to keep her tone gentle. "I may not have time to go online these days. Brother Chen, please keep an eye on the Internet for me and notify me as soon as there is any news."
Shen Wenqian: "Okay, leave all this to me, don't worry. Um... Xiaoqi, what are you and Mr. Beilou going to do? This matter with the Cheng family is quite troublesome, right?"
When mentioning Cheng, Ruan Qi's tone, which had just warmed up a bit, turned cold again.
She curled her lips expressionlessly and said coldly, "As a Chinese and a doctor, I will not allow anyone to do evil on this land. Not only me, but also my master and my sect will not allow such a thing to happen. We will save those victims, Xu Qingya and Organization X..."
She paused, her voice filled with unconcealed anger, "Anyone who offends China should be cut into pieces!"
…
The fact that Cheng's Pharmaceuticals replaced health drugs with poisons pushed netizens' panic to a peak.
The Cheng family, descendants of a poison family, began their business in ancient times by manufacturing drugs. As times changed, the Cheng family gradually transitioned to a pharmaceutical business. Although the Cheng family's businesses have diversified, Cheng Pharmaceuticals remains a dominant force in the industry.
For Chinese people, Chengshi Pharmaceutical represents authority and a time-honored brand.
It's no exaggeration to say that every household in China has medicines produced by Cheng's Pharmaceuticals in their drawers. No one ever thought that Cheng's Pharmaceuticals would collapse one day.
But now, it has really collapsed.
The collapse was earth-shattering and caused outrage among the entire nation.
There are still two chapters, and I guess they will be updated tonight.
