Chapter 182: Courting Disaster

Chu Yuan immediately understood.
There was only a single case now, so how could this group of merchants that were akin to wily foxes believe it?
He frowned. “Elder bro, don’t tell me you don’t believe in the existence of the transmissible disease?”
The boss of the Dongye Pharmacy spoke with a straight face, “Bro, let me tell you the truth. I’m not the only one who doesn’t believe it. Since our relationship is so good, why don’t you tell me whether this transmissible disease is real or not?”
Chu Yuan fell silent and then said honestly, “I have no idea, but that nephew of mine has been calm and composed from the start. You should understand how capable he is. So, I feel that the transmissible disease must be real.”
The boss of the Dongye Pharmacy asked, “Isn’t this a show enacted by your family?”
Chu Yuan immediately turned solemn. “I can guarantee with our many years of friendship that this is definitely not.”
“Okay then.” The boss of Dongye Pharmacy said, “Bro, because of your words, I’ll take 50,000 pills!”
Chu Yuan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright!”
After hanging up, Chu Yuan looked at his subordinate. “Go and prepare a contract for selling 50,000 pills to the Dongye Pharmacy immediately.”
“Yes!”
Dongye Pharmacy.
After hearing his boss saying that, the manager couldn’t help but say, “The entire medical industry doesn’t believe in this matter and doesn’t buy the heat dispersal pills. Sir, are you sure you want to do this?”
The boss of the Dongye Pharmacy, Li Yedong, sighed. “Just treat it as if I’m helping Chu Yuan out due to our friendship. Previously, I already wanted to help him, but the situation was truly bad and would implicate us. However, since things are better now, I can no longer ignore his plight.”
The manager continued, “But what if this is fake? What if Chu Yuan lied to you?”
“If that’s the case, spending this amount of money to see the heart of someone isn’t a bad deal either!” Li Yedong majestically spoke.
It wasn’t too good for the manager to continue saying anything, but he still asked, “Should we delay the contract so we can check out the situation?”
“No need. Purchase the pills right away and split the pills among our major pharmacies. Since I chose to believe in him, I will naturally not hesitate!”
“Yes!”
But after the manager signed the contract with Chu Corporation, in just three hours, the popularity of the heat dispersal pills slowly dwindled.
The panic everyone felt about the transmissible disease slowly calmed, and some people even expressed negative comments online.
——The Chu Corporation isn’t stupid. They must have fabricated a case of the transmissible disease to incite fear and panic. There are even queues outside the Chu Corporation’s hospital wanting to buy the heat dispersal pills. They have achieved their objectives!
——Yes, there is just a single case, but they want to say that it is because of the transmissible disease? This is simply too ridiculous!

——Everyone shouldn’t believe the rumors they are spreading about how quickly the transmissible disease circulates. If the transmission rate is really so high, how could there only be one case now?
——Right, right, right. Hence, this must be a show self-directed by the Chu Corporation!
As public opinion fermented, other than people like Liu Dandan who knew this was not an act, everyone else didn’t really believe that the transmissible disease existed.
And Liu Dandan and her group of people were after all the minorities. No one heeded their voices online.

In Dugu Xiao’s Villa.
“I was the one who cooperated with Captain Cui to report the person who administered the virus. Captain Cui can really be considered someone who deals with things quickly, as he directly captured that person. This transmissible disease is destined to never have a large-scale outbreak.”
Dugu Xiao’s head was filled with silver needles, but his lips still curled as though he was watching a show. “The Chu Corporation will definitely not be able to outlast this. I heard that the Dongye Pharmaceutical Company bought the heat dispersal pills. So now, they are fated to become jokes of the pharmaceutical industry. Miss Shen, you still have three children to raise. Why don’t you consider being by my side?”
The only reply was Shen Ruojing directly piercing the big needle at the crown of his head even deeper.
Dugu Xiao’s eyebags tensed as he frowned deeply. Clearly, it was extremely painful, so he finally shut up.
Shen Ruojing slowly lowered her eyelids.
Although what Dugu Xiao said was the truth, he still underestimated the might of this virus.
It was true that Captain Cui had managed to control this in a timely manner and there wouldn’t be a large outbreak. However, the transmission nature of the virus was simply too strong. Unless everyone ate her heat dispersal pill, the situation would soon be out of control.
But now, no one believed in the Chu Corporation and felt that everything was a part of a scheme.
This matter still needed some time to be settled.
She actually felt very helpless.
She had discovered the virus early, but everyone was so stubborn. Hence, she could only wait.
Outside the door.
Leng Ling was quietly standing there.
As she had fainted yesterday when listening to Shen Ruojing’s words, she basically had no chance to converse with 518.
Hence, after hearing that Shen Ruojing was coming today, she impatiently rushed over.
It had been too long since she last saw 518, and she truly missed her a lot. She felt that she had many things she wanted to say. She wanted to ask how did 518 revive when she clearly died in that explosion?
She wanted to ask Shen Ruojing why she didn’t come for revenge since she was alive.
But when she stood at the door, she actually discovered that she wasn’t able to say anything at all.
She only heard the mocking words of Dugu Xiao.
She had to help 518.
Once this thought appeared in her mind, Leng Ling turned and left.
Just so coincidentally, she saw Yan Zijing in front of her removing her mask. Yan Zijing was quietly standing there and watching her. “Miss Leng, I know you hate Shen Ruojing a lot. Why don’t you help me? I wish to get revenge for my elder brother!”
Leng Ling narrowed her eyes. “How do you want to take revenge?”
Yan Zijing angrily said, “The Chu Family weaved a lie about a transmissible disease and wanted to use this to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. In fact, they are even going to burn my brother’s body today to get rid of all evidence. I’ll definitely not permit something like this to happen!”
Yan Zijing’s eyes were red.
When she thought of Yan Zihao’s death, she grabbed Leng Ling by her sleeves. “Let me out so I can find my brother!”
Leng Ling frowned.

After Shen Ruojing finished the acupuncture session, she was prepared to look for Leng Ling.
She came today because she wanted to check up on Leng Ling to see if she had recovered. But the moment she stepped out of Dugu Xiao’s room, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Ye Lu sent a link and a message [Harming oneself with one’s stupidity.]
Shen Ruojing frowned and clicked on the link in bewilderment. She then discovered that it was a live stream.
Yan Zijing was using her Weibo Account to live stream.
She was a great celebrity with tens of millions of fans on her Weibo and only went into hiding after the matter of fake singing was discovered. Hence, at this moment, she instantly had millions of viewers when she went online and immediately became trending.
At this moment, Yan Zijing was looking at the screen, her face filled with anger. “Chu Cimo killed my elder brother and is trying to hide the truth with some nonsensical transmissible disease! Now, he is going to burn my brother’s corpse. I’ve rushed to the scene and want to prove to everyone that the transmissible disease is fake!”
After saying this, she directly pushed away the staff on the scene and sprinted right for the bag where Yan Zihao’s body was in. She lunged over and hugged the corpse. “Elder brother, you can’t die like this…!”
The staff at the side immediately went over to pull her away.
After that, Yan Zijing stared fixedly as Yan Zihao’s corpse was pushed into the furnace.
She shouted loudly, “There’s a transmissible disease with a very high infection rate, right? In that case, I will stream for seven days. If I’m still fine seven days later, it means that my elder brother was basically not infected by any transmissible disease! I want the Chu Corporation to give me an explanation!”
Her actions immediately drew the attention of everyone in the city!
