Chapter 1302

“Can you tell us the details now? What’s going on?”

These reporters pressed on and couldn’t wait to ask questions.

“The matter is still under investigation.”

Facing the closely packed reporters and cameras, Fang Qiu announced his decision, “I don’t know the truth either. But, I can assure the public that the Three Billion Foundation will undertake all the responsibility, and I’m also willing to shoulder the responsibility. In addition, each family of the four patients will receive one million Huaxia coins as compensation. Here, I declare that from now on, anyone will be awarded ten thousand Huaxia coins in compensation for one packet of shoddy medicine. Besides, the patient will be reexamined and get new medicine for free!”

As soon as the words left his mouth…

Everyone stared at him, frozen in shock

The reporters were also struck dumb.

Countless netizens watching the livestream online were also shocked!

“Holy shit, what a generous and overwhelming strategy!”

“One million for each family and ten thousand for a packet of inferior medicine?”

“Damn, does it look like he’s short of money?”

“He is super rich. Why does he need to sell fake drugs?”

Just when everyone was stunned…

A reporter suddenly asked, “What if someone pretends that they bought bogus medicine?”

“As long as they come, we’ll pay the money to them!”

Fang Qiu said without hesitation.

The answer left all the people dumbfounded!

“What the fuck. Everyone, it’s time to make some money. What a good opportunity to make a quick buck.”

“He’s just giving money away?”

“Look at Fang Qiu’s intransigent attitude! He must be determined to take a hard line on this issue.”

“Surely he could say that, but he might not practice what he preached.”

“That’s right. Fang Qiu made this statement only to show us his righteous position. How could he compensate for all the low-quality products? There are more than one billion people in Huaxia. If each of us brings a pack of fake medicine, he will have to mortgage his underwear to pay. Am I right?”

The others were not stupid.

They all understood what Fang Qiu meant.

There must be some people who wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. These people planned to take some substandard herbs to Fang Qiu and the Foundation in exchange for money. However, most people were basically honest.

These honest people would only feel at ease when they spent the money earned by themselves. Why would anyone sell his conscience for dirty money?

However, even so, they still liked Fang Qiu’s attitude.

He had the courage to act and be responsible for the consequences!

From the livestreaming interview…

Netizens gradually believed that this matter had nothing to do with Fang Qiu. There seemed to be another undiscovered story.

In the capital…

Inside a villa…

“Good!”

Yang Ningyuan was watching the livestream. When he heard Fang Qiu’s promise, he couldn’t help praising his performance. “Being responsible and generous could help you win back everyone’s hearts. You’ve shown the right attitude. Well done!”

At the scene…

After Fang Qiu expressed himself eloquently…

Before the reporters moved on to another question, Fang Qiu took the lead to say, “I’m sorry. I have to go to the clinic the first patient visited and check those drugs in person.”

After that…

Fang Qiu left the hospital directly.

The reporters did not stall Fang Qiu to ask more questions. Instead, the vast crowd gathered around Fang Qiu and walked ahead with him.

“Fang Qiu.”

When they were out of the hospital, a reporter suddenly rushed forward. While he did a video recording of Fang Qiu, he asked, “There’s room in our car for one more passenger. We can take you there.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said, “Thank you.”

In the current situation…

Fang Qiu had no choice but to leave by car. Since he agreed to get in the reporter’s interview car, the staff of this TV station would help and block him from the people around. Otherwise, Fang Qiu would have to walk there. After all, he couldn’t get a taxi with so many people following him.

“Follow me.”

The reporter took Fang Qiu out of the hospital gate. When they arrived at a nearby parking lot, the interview car stopped before them.

With the reporter’s invitation, Fang Qiu promptly got in the car.

When the other reporters saw this…

They were all beating their chests and stamping their feet with deep regret!

Why didn’t they think of this brilliant idea?

This would have been a golden opportunity to interview Fang Qiu!

Even if Fang Qiu refused to be interviewed, they could have a chat with him for a while. Anything he said might be an exclusive news report!

...

Some reporters came to their senses and quickly rushed forward and attempted to take Fang Qiu away. They wanted to let him know how good their cars were, what benefits they could offer, and the like.

To their dismay…

Before they could put their plans into action…

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, the car door was quickly closed, and the interview car drove away speedily.

The other reporters watched it leave.

They had no choice but to get in their cars quickly and follow closely behind.

In the car…

“Fang Qiu, could you tell us when and how you found out about this?”

The reporter casually asked.

Fang Qiu knew he would have to answer some questions in the interview car. By taking this chance, he could also let the public learn about some details and his connection in this matter.

...

“I heard of it this morning.”

Fang Qiu continued, “The people in the company called and told me about it.”

“Then how will you handle it?”

Another question came from the reporter.

“Didn’t I make it public just now? Whatever the truth is, our company and I will bear all responsibility. We will take care of it even if it’s not our fault!”

Fang Qiu answered.

“Then, what do you think is the cause now? Is it the problem of your company or the pharmaceutical companies?”

The reporter made a detailed inquiry.

“I’m not clear about the pharmaceutical companies.”

Fang Qiu allowed himself a wry smile and said, “Right after the incident happened, we contacted all the major pharmaceutical companies and asked them to give us some possible answers. As a result, they all announced that this incident had nothing to do with them. So, what could we do about it?”

At this point…

Fang Qiu shook his head and added, “As for our company, we had our professional Chinese Medicine teams carry out the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease. Beyond that, there were people who monitored the prescriptions backstage and professional talents that checked the medicinal herbs of various companies. But we haven’t yet determined where it went wrong.”

The reporter listened to him carefully.

Meanwhile, he quickly recorded all that Fang Qiu had said.

It was an exclusive interview.

Right at this moment…

“Beep, beep, beep…”

All of a sudden, the reporter’s cell phone rang,

Fang Qiu glanced at it and saw “Chief editor.” It seemed to be a WeChat message.

The reporter immediately clicked to have a look.

Fang Qiu saw that…

As soon as the reporter read it, his eyes instantly lit up.

“Look at it.”

Without covering it up, the reporter handed the phone to Fang Qiu, pointed at the message sent by the chief editor on the phone, and said, “Now, almost all the traditional Chinese medicine companies in the country are supporting the previous company, saying that they will not use fake drugs to harm people nor cooperate with any companies with little or no morals!”

“I suppose they were condemning you and your foundation company, right?”

“What do you think of this?”

Opposite the reporter…

Anger for justice filled Fang Qiu’s heart.

He didn’t expect this. Before the results were even out, those pharmaceutical companies had already jumped out to stir up more trouble. What on earth were they up to?

“No comment.”

Fang Qiu shook his head.

However, he began pondering about this in his heart.

“There must be something wrong with this.

“Otherwise, why would they do this? One after another, those pharmaceutical companies, the Foundation’s partners, made statements. Even these pharmaceutical companies who haven’t cooperated with the Foundation also released statements. But they were not involved in this matter at all.”

“Did they simply want to take this opportunity to gain publicity for their companies?

“But I don’t see these pharmaceutical companies doing any promotions.”

“So, what on earth is going on?”

As Fang Qiu had expected…

These pharmaceutical companies did aggravate the situation.

The firm support of those big fans escalated the whole thing.

The storm of criticism had subsided. However, as another batch of pharmaceutical companies rose, another blast of criticism started.

Countless people on the Internet began to denounce and scold Fang Qiu and the Three Billion Foundation.

It seemed that they were determined to nail them to the historical pillar of shame and make the world despise them!

In this regard…

Fang Qiu could only endure it, for he couldn’t do anything.

The distance between the two locations was not far. Before long, the interview car entered the Blackhill Gate Village and stopped before the clinic of the Three Billion Foundation.

Fang Qiu got out of the car.

The reporter also hastened to step out of the car. Then, he took out the camera and continued to do the livestream of Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu stepped forward to open the door.

At this time…

The other reporters’ interview cars had also arrived.

All the reporters got out of the cars and hurried forward to do their livestream.

The door of the clinic opened.

Reporters followed Fang Qiu into the clinic.

They found that all the medicinal herbs in the clinic had been taken away. Nothing was left behind. These people in the clinic seemed to have cleared out this place before they made their escape. In this way, there would be no evidence against them.

Fang Qiu searched around the room.

At last, he spotted a piece of medicinal herb at the corner of the counter.

He immediately squatted down, picked it up, and sniffed it.

He frowned instantly.

The reporters quickly gathered around him.

“Indeed, this Chinese medicinal herb is of low quality.”

Fang Qiu held the herb he had just picked up in his hand and said to all the reporters before their cameras.

As soon as he said that…

Numerous netizens had been waiting to watch the livestream. But just as the livestream began, they saw Fang Qiu admit that the herb was of poor quality.

This time…

It triggered another huge uproar among the netizens.

Among them…

Many fans still held a glimmer of hope for Fang Qiu. The moment they heard his conclusion, they became very disillusioned with him!

They knew that this matter had nothing to do with Fang Qiu. Otherwise, Fang Qiu would not have investigated it personally. However, it was related to his Foundation, so Fang Qiu had to be responsible for it!

Fang Qiu’s fans felt helpless.

Now, they could only seek the truth and hope that it would not implicate Fang Qiu!

In the clinic…

Fang Qiu did not turn around and leave. Instead, under all the reporters’ scrutiny, he began to walk around the clinic. As he went around, he observed carefully. He even used the scouting skills he learned in the special forces to check traces left in the clinic.

Fortunately, since everyone had been walking after him, the scene was not completely destroyed.

After a rigorous and thorough examination…

Eventually, Fang Qiu found a very inconspicuous imprint on the back window of the clinic. If not for his careful observation, he wouldn’t have found this almost invisible clue.

This mark was connected to the corn field that had just been harvested behind the clinic.

“What did you find?”

A reporter stepped forward and asked.

“Everyone, turn off the livestream.”

Fang Qiu turned to all the reporters and added, “The following scenes are not suitable for livestreaming!”

They were all confused.

“Improper for livestreaming? Seriously?”

But seeing how insistent Fang Qiu was, the reporters had no choice but to turn off their livestream equipment.

This sudden change…

It caused a sensation on the Internet.

All the netizens’ screens went dark.

A great many people began to swear.

“Damn! They are going to make some fucking sinister deals on the sly!”

“Are the reporters part of their scheme too?”
