Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

Several days later.

Just as Jishi Pharmaceutical's "Heart Protector" and "Brain Tonic" became wildly popular across the country.

It was even a glorious moment when it was designated as a national gift!

A sudden black storm swept through the entire capital city!

In the morning, as soon as Lou Xiao'e arrived at work, she was blocked at the factory gate.

"You unscrupulous businessman! A life for a life!"

"Give me back my son's life!"

"What kind of bullshit miracle drug is that? It's poison!"

"My son died from poisoning after taking your medicine!"

My daughter is still lying in the hospital in a coma!

"You are all murderers!!"

Dozens of family members, dressed in mourning clothes and emotionally distraught, held up a white banner that read "Jishi Pharmaceuticals Disregards Human Life".

They completely blocked the entrance to Jishi Pharmaceutical.

They were carrying rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and they threw them at anyone they saw.

Several interview vehicles were parked on the roadside not far away.

Reporters, like sharks smelling blood, frantically took photos of the scene.

The evening paper and several tabloids that day published sensational headlines.

"State Gift Turns into Poison? Hundreds Hospitalized After Taking Heart-Protecting Pills!"

Miracle Doctor or Grim Reaper? Unveiling the Dark Secrets Behind Jishi Pharmaceutical!

Is this a life-saving elixir or a deadly poison?

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Jishi Pharmaceutical, which was originally in high demand, suddenly became a pariah.

Return calls came in like snowflakes from all over the country.

Some radical members of the public even went to the pharmacy and smashed the counter.

......

Factory Director's Office.

Lou Xiao'e's hair was messy.

His once sharp and capable eyes were now bloodshot.

She slumped onto the sofa, looking out the window at the still-shouting crowd, her whole body trembling.

"How could this happen... how could this happen..."

Lou Xiao'e, her voice trembling with tears, clutched a lab report tightly in her hand.

"Our production line is clearly a completely enclosed system!"

"Every batch of medicine undergoes three quality checks before leaving the factory! How could it possibly be toxic?"

"There are rumors circulating that we used moldy medicinal herbs to save money..."

"Li Xuan, if this is confirmed, we're all finished! We'll go to jail!"

Even though she had seen the world in Hong Kong.

But faced with such overwhelming accusations, even those carrying political risks, they were completely panicked.

"Don't panic."

A steady voice rang out, like a pillar of strength stabilizing the sea.

Li Xuan stood by the window, not watching the farce unfolding downstairs.

He held a heart-protecting pill from the "accidental" batch in his hand and gently sniffed it.

His expression was eerily calm.

It was as if the collapsing sky outside was nothing more than a fallen leaf in his eyes.

"Xiao'e, you're in business, you should understand one thing."

Li Xuan turned around, holding the pill between his fingers. "If it really was a production accident..."

"Then why are all the accidents concentrated in this particular group?"

Why did the media react so quickly?

"Why did the family not even have an autopsy done before they started displaying banners?"

"You mean..." Lou Xiao'e suddenly looked up, "that someone's up to something?"

"It's not trickery, it's framing."

A cold glint flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. "Moreover, their methods are extremely insidious."

"Let's go to the hospital."

......

Emergency Department, Hongxing Hospital.

This place is in complete chaos.

Dozens of patients lay on extra beds in the corridor, vomiting and having diarrhea.

Some even foamed at the mouth and convulsed.

The cries and curses of the family members filled the air.

"Dean Li is here!"

Someone shouted out.

The previously noisy crowd fell silent for a second, then erupted into even greater anger.

"Kill him! He's the one selling fake medicine!"

"Li Xuan! You owe me my father's life!"

Several burly men rushed up and were about to attack.

The guard, Xiao Zhang, reacted quickly and stepped in front of Li Xuan.

Like an iron tower, it forcefully forced those people back.

Li Xuan pushed Xiao Zhang aside and walked fearlessly to the burly man who was making the most noise.

"If you want to save your dad, shut up."

Li Xuan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of authority: "I am a doctor."

"If it's the fault of my medicine, I, Li Xuan, will give you my life."

"But right now, saving lives is the priority!"

After saying that, he ignored everyone and went straight to the bedside of the patient with the most severe symptoms.

Take the pulse.

Rolling your eyelids up.

Examine the vomit.

Just half a minute later, a cold smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

really.

He took out a silver needle from his pocket, quickly pricked the patient's fingertip, and squeezed out a drop of black blood.

"Xiao'e, take this drop of blood to the lab."

Li Xuan said in a deep voice, "No need to investigate anything else, just investigate one thing!"

"Residues of industrial nitrites and strong pesticides."

"What?"

The doctors and Lou Xiao'e around were stunned.

These two things are highly toxic chemical raw materials!

How did it end up in traditional Chinese medicine?

"This is poisoning."

Li Xuan stood up, his gaze sharp as lightning.

He scanned the crowd and noticed a few patients' "family members" whose eyes were darting around and who were shouting the loudest.

"Our heart-protecting pills are made entirely of herbal plants and contain absolutely no chemical ingredients."

"But these patients all exhibited typical symptoms of acute chemical poisoning!"

"Someone mixed this highly toxic industrial waste into the medicine powder and then repressed it into pills."

"Then, through certain channels, they were sold to these innocent people!"

Li Xuan's voice grew colder and colder.

The murderous intent emanating from him made the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

"To destroy Jishi Pharmaceutical, to seize market share..."

"They actually went so far as to use dozens of lives as stepping stones."

"Okay, very good."

"Since you're willing to risk your lives, then I, Li Xuan, will play along to the very end!"

......

Half an hour later, the test results came back.

Just as Li Xuan predicted!

High concentrations of industrial nitrite were detected in the blood!

This isn't poisoning; this is blatant poisoning and murder!

Holding the lab report, Lou Xiao'e's hands trembled with rage: "This is too toxic! These beasts!"

"This is an attempt to kill us!"

"They not only want our lives, but also the lives of traditional Chinese medicine."

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Li Xuan said, "Now that we've found the source, things will be much easier."

"Xiao'e, notify all media outlets that a press conference will be held tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM."

"I will skin these beasts alive in front of the whole world!"

This night is destined to be sleepless.

at the same time.

In a suite at a luxury hotel in southern China.

Wang Ba, the boss of Kangba Company, was embracing a beautiful woman while watching the news on TV about Jishi Pharmaceutical being besieged.

His face jiggled with laughter, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"What kind of lousy miracle doctor is this?"

"Pah! I'll make you a quack!"

"Become a murderer!"
