Those who purify themselves will purify themselves
The whole place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the platform.
Officials from the Municipal Health Bureau and experts from the Textile Industry Association walked onto the podium under the gaze of countless cameras and the public. Their expressions were serious, knowing that every move they made would have a significant impact.
They began to identify and test the dozens of herbal raw materials on the table one by one.
"This is honeysuckle, which is sweet and cold in nature and clears away heat and detoxifies."
"This is mugwort. It repels mosquitoes and insects, and warms the meridians and unclogs the collaterals."
"This is mint, it refreshes the mind..."
Experts accurately pronounced the names and effects of each herb, all of which were common herbs recorded in medical books and beneficial to the human body.
There is not even a trace of the so-called highly poisonous "heart-breaking grass"!
Then, the staff brought in a large pot and a charcoal stove. Under everyone's supervision, the health official personally randomly picked several pieces of dyed cloth from the warehouse, cut a few pieces, put them into the pot, added water, and began to boil.
Time passes by every second.
The audience below had long since lost their previous anger, replaced by a complex mix of guilt, admiration, and nervousness. They held their breath, awaiting the final, judgmental moment.
Chuntao, hiding behind the crowd, wearing a hat and sunglasses, had already sunk to the bottom of her heart.
She's finished.
All her careful planning turned into a joke for Ah Xiu. Not only did she fail to destroy her, but she also made her own reputation.
She was unwilling to give up! She stared at the calm and composed figure on the stage, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to eat someone.
The water in the pot was bubbling and boiling, gradually turning into a light amber color. A faint herbal fragrance drifted in the air.
Finally, a health official scooped out a steaming bowl of "medicine" in a white porcelain bowl. He personally brought it to Ling Xiuqing and said with a complicated expression, "Miss Xiu, we've confirmed that these raw materials and fabrics don't contain any toxic ingredients. You... really don't have to do this."
At this point, there was no need for further testing. The truth had already been revealed.
However, Ling Xiuqing shook her head slightly.
She looked at the thousands of eyes in the audience, knowing that they might still have a trace of doubt in their hearts. What she wanted was a complete, irrefutable, crushing victory.
She wants the clothes produced by "Zhi Xiu Fang" to be forever associated with the words "absolutely safe" and "absolutely healthy".
"I have made up my mind."
She took the bowl of steaming medicine from the official.
Everyone in the audience stood up, and countless cameras were pointed at her.
Murong Bai's fingertips turned slightly white due to nervousness, but he still held the camera tightly, faithfully recording this historic moment.
Uncle Lin and the workers were already in tears.
Ling Xiuqing raised the white porcelain bowl in her hand and said loudly to the audience and all the cameras:
"I, Ah Xiu, swear here today. Every inch of fabric and every thread produced by my Zhixiufang will be as pure and innocent as this bowl of medicine I drink today. I will be worthy of heaven and earth, my conscience, and every customer who trusts me!"
After that, under everyone's gaze, she tilted her neck back and drank the bowl of warm medicine with the fragrance of herbs in one gulp!
Without the slightest hesitation, without a moment's delay.
When she put down the empty porcelain bowl, the whole world seemed to stop for a second.
Immediately, thunderous applause rang out from the audience!
The applause was overwhelming and lasted for a long time!
Everyone present, whether they were reporters, parents, or ordinary citizens, were deeply impressed by the desperate courage and upright spirit displayed by the girl before them!
They applauded not only for the truth to be revealed, but also to pay the highest respect to this unparalleled courage and responsibility!
Amidst deafening applause, the fake reporter, doctor and mother had already been dragged before the police by the angry crowd.
Chun Tao, hiding in the crowd, finally couldn't bear the fatal blow as she watched the figure standing proudly on the stage, admired by thousands. She felt a black screen before her eyes, a fishy-sweet taste in her chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out before she passed out.
Her world was plunged into complete darkness.
And from this moment on, Ling Xiuqing's world was filled with light.
