Chapter 192: The Money Bag Can’t Hold Any More

"Hello everyone."

Chen Xiaohong felt a little embarrassed in front of the mobile phone camera.

This was her first time appearing in a live webcast. She looked at the barrage of comments and the increasing number of viewers, and suddenly she was stuck.

Seeing the number of viewers reaching 800,000, Chen Xiaohong looked at Shen Linglan behind the camera at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, just tell us what happened in the villa."

Shen Linglan did not put pressure on her, but poured her a cup of hot water to help her calm down.

After Chen Xiaohong drank the water, she felt much calmer.

She cleared her throat towards the camera in the live broadcast room, and then said, "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Xiaohong. You may be curious why I appeared in SZ's live broadcast room."

"Actually, I am patient No. 0 in the tap water contamination incident... Oh no, patient No. 1. I was infected in Shen Zhaoshan's villa. Yes, that's the boss of the Hawthorn Skin Care Products company - Shen Zhaoshan. He kept a mad doctor on the fifth floor and asked me to deliver food and drinks to this madman..."

"I lived there for more than a month." She paused, bit her lower lip and continued, "In addition to sending some food, they also sent some live poultry and living people."

The word "living people" instantly made the barrage boil.

[What do you mean? Is it what I thought? ]

[Does this mean that Shen Zhaoshan used living people for experiments? ]

[Dr. Mad? What's his name? Where is he? Could he also be from SZ?]

When she mentioned people, tears welled up in her eyes and her face was full of regret. After seeing the comments on the screen, she finally couldn't help choking up. After she suppressed her tears, she said:

"I didn't know at first. Later, the nanny, security guard, driver and others in the villa never came down after going up to the fifth floor. I then realized that the fifth floor was a research laboratory. But I couldn't turn back. I could only follow the path arranged by Shen Zhaoshan."

"Just half a month ago, I hired someone under the guise of recruiting a security guard and sent him to the fifth floor."

As she spoke, she looked down at the information she had written down, and said word by word:

"He lives in 13th Street, Wendaokeng, City A. His ID number ends in 6639. His name is Zhao Dagang. Sorry, he is the patient zero. If any family members are in the live broadcast room, please contact the staff of Fuze Street Police Station in City A."

The barrage immediately exploded again.

[What do you mean? Where did Patient Zero come from? Did you send him in for the experiment yourself? You deserve to die, Chen Xiaohong.]

[Is it still in Shen Zhaoshan's villa? Did he sell it? ]

Where is Patient Zero?

Is he still alive?

"He should still be alive," Chen Xiaohong said. "He was tortured by the lunatic until he looked like a human being, unable to speak or think. So he was taken away by the police on the day of the incident and is now being held for research."

Her red eyes scanned the screen of insults directed at her, trying to find questions she could answer.

Suddenly she saw a netizen asking:

[How did you become Patient No. 1? ]

Chen Xiaohong's gaze passed through the camera and fell on a void, as if she was lost in her memories.

"It should be when that madman gave me a piece of cake he developed... That day was my birthday, and Shen Zhaoshan happened to be arrested. I was in great pain, and the madman said that the cake was to wish me a happy birthday."

Chen Xiaohong has never celebrated her birthday.

So she ate the whole piece of cake.

That was the only time that Chen Xiaohong accepted something from Crazy. In the past, Shen Zhaoshan had repeatedly told her that she could only deliver things to Crazy and not accept anything else.

But she didn't listen. Because of her own stupidity, her greed for warmth, and her softness at that moment...she almost killed herself.

She finished her story. Some viewers felt sorry for her for not having celebrated her birthday in more than 20 years, while others said that she deserved to die.

Chen Xiaohong turned her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and said to the camera calmly, "I really deserved it. So I suffered. My symptoms are much more serious than those of the citizens who drank the water. Before this, I couldn't sleep at night, and I wanted to vomit as soon as I ate. I only wanted to eat raw meat."

In her last words, she said with a firm look, "But all this has nothing to do with Shen Linglan! She was not the instigator either, so please don't blame her. Thank you."

After saying that, she bowed towards the camera.

She wore a hospital gown throughout the live broadcast and faced the camera without makeup. But she felt that she was much prettier and more confident than before when she was wearing heavy makeup, and she felt very calm inside.

It was almost time to go out. Chen Xiaohong left the video screen, walked towards Zhou Xueer, and said softly, "Professor Zhou, let's go back."

Zhou Xueer glanced at Shen Linglan, and when she nodded, she took Chen Xiaohong and left SZ's office building.

The live broadcast was not turned off yet, but the audience was already making a lot of noise.

Those who initially cursed Shen Linglan particularly harshly now used even more vicious words to target Shen Zhaoshan.

There is also a blogger who has been broadcasting SZ's live broadcast from the beginning. Now he is accusing Shen Zhaoshan while being frightened by Chen Xiaohong just now. He is crying and saying that he doesn't know if this will be his tomorrow.

At the same time, some people still unwaveringly sprayed Shen Linglan:

[Don't think you can get away with it by just asking someone to act. Currently, your company is the only one that can develop a purifier. I don't believe this matter has nothing to do with you! ]

[That’s right! Now that you SZ are the only company that dominates the market with water purifiers, I’m afraid your wallets are running out of money! ]

Shen Linglan has appeared on the screen frequently recently. Even if she is just lazily standing in front of the camera with only half of her face exposed, the audience quickly recognized this person and said it is Shen Linglan.

"Instead of harassing me, why not ask Shen Zhaoshan if there are patients 2, 3, 4, and 5 besides Patient 0 and 1? And also ask why your water system is still polluted."

In the half of her face that was revealed, her eyes were sharp and the corners of her lips were flat.

"We at SZ earn this money honestly. The most important reason why we can develop faster than other biotech companies is that we make use of talents from all walks of life. I'm sure you all know how SZ treats us, right?"

At this time, the barrage of comments started boiling again.

[SZ, I've heard about it before. The treatment is indeed better than those big Internet companies. ]

[And they don’t limit themselves to 985 and 211 famous universities. As long as you have real ability, people are willing to accept you.]

[Now what I envy is not SZ's salary, but SZ's employee benefits. I heard that SZ's employees can get a bottle of water purifier every week, which they can use for themselves or resell. ]

[Holy crap, is this true? Now the price of one cigarette is over a thousand dollars, that means an extra income of over four thousand dollars every month. I can’t take it anymore, I’m dying of jealousy.]

The focus was shifted, and after everyone discussed SZ's treatment, they suddenly realized something was wrong.
