Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Antidote? Or Poison?

The hall manager didn’t dare refuse Chen Wei’s request, and promptly ordered his men to lift Wu Cai’s body, dragged out like a dead dog, to be dealt with.

No matter how you looked at it, Chen Wei didn’t seem like a simple character, slapping out teeth with three strikes. It seemed better not to provoke such a person.

Every wrong had a perpetrator, every debt had a debtor, if Wu Cai sought revenge, it would be Chen Wei he’d find.

The hall manager felt there was no need for him to stick his neck out and invite trouble for himself.

After that, Chen Wei and Lin Yibai changed their seats.

After the incident with Wu Cai, no one dared to harbor designs on Lin Yibai and her sister Lin Miaoke anymore.

No matter how breathtakingly beautiful they were, their looks couldn’t possibly be more important than a full set of teeth!

Everyone was truly shocked to find that underneath Chen Wei’s handsome features lay a fierce beast, ferocious like a torrential flood. Too savage!

The incident was quickly turned over, and not long after, the Lu Family members ascended the stage amid thunderous applause.

Seeing Family Master Lu Chenguang arrive, Lin Yibai clenched her teeth and gripped the armrest of her seat tightly, clearly infuriated.

Noticing this, Chen Wei placed his hand gently on the back of Lin Yibai’s hand.

Their eyes met, and Chen Wei gave her an assuring smile.

Lin Yibai responded with a smile and flipped her hand over to interlace her fingers tightly with Chen Wei’s.

"Ah! How wonderful, I’m so jealous of my sister, to be able to hold hands with the master," said Lin Miaoke, her hands supporting her face, her eyes full of wistful longing. Her words were full of envy and nothing else.

Startled by Lin Miaoke’s discovery, Lin Yibai tried to let go and pull her hand back.

But Chen Wei gripped it even tighter.

"It’s so nice!" Lin Miaoke continued to look on with envy.

With no other choice, Lin Yibai lowered her head, trying her best to hide her blushing cheeks with her bangs.

She really didn’t want her younger sister to see her expression at that moment.

"First of all, I welcome everyone who has traveled from afar to attend the new drug release event of our Lu Family. I believe that the results of this new drug will certainly not disappoint everyone, and I hope you will continue to pay close attention in the future," said Lu Chenguang passionately on stage.

"Next, our Lu Clan’s chief pharmaceutical researcher will tell everyone about the effects of this new drug and the major innovations it will bring to the pharmaceutical market!" Lu Chenguang’s enthusiasm was palpable as he spoke.

Amid applause, the stage was handed over to another person.

The advantages of this drug were introduced in a formulaic manner, comparing its effects with common drugs on the market to highlight the most visible differences.

However, Chen Wei was finding it boring.

"Ah!" His yawns were persistent and not at all quiet, as if fearing others couldn’t hear them.

"This medication..."

"Ah!"

"If it goes on sale, I assure you..."

"Ah!"

The researcher’s speech was interrupted more than once, and it looked like he was struggling to continue.

"Where’s this joker from? Intentionally causing trouble, aren’t you?" Lu Chenguang could not hold back any longer. How could he let one rotten apple spoil such an important day?

"Security! Where’s security? Get this man and throw him out immediately! Take him to the police station and let him learn the consequences of causing a disturbance!" Lu Chenguang shouted.

But the security staff had witnessed Chen Wei beating up Wu Cai, and none of them believed they were a match for him. Who would dare to make a move?

"What, am I not allowed to doze off because it’s boring? Is Family Master Lu so overbearing?" Chen Wei retorted.

"What did you say! Boring? If you don’t understand, then don’t spout your ignorant and laughable comments here! I’m afraid if you make the newspapers tomorrow, you’ll be unable to resist finding a hole to crawl into to hide yourself from shame!" Lu Chenguang rebuked sternly.

"I may be ignorant, but at least I wouldn’t sell poison as a cure," Chen Wei said shockingly.

At that statement, a tidal wave of whispers broke out incessantly.

"What! The medicine released by the Lu Family is actually poison?"

"Can we really believe what this guy is saying?"

"The people who came today are supposed to be among the top in the field of medicine. I think he must be someone of a similar status. If he can say something like this, maybe there really is something wrong with the Lu Family’s medicine."

"The Lu Family is actually selling poison? This is huge news!"

"That’s the Lu Family; would they really do something like this?"

...

"Don’t listen to his nonsense; how could our Lu Family possibly sell poison?" Zhao Chenguang was at a loss for words; he couldn’t understand how such a simple rumor could convince so many people to seriously discuss it in hushed tones.

"You little punk, I don’t know who paid you to cause trouble for me, but if you’re willing to admit right now that everything you just said is slander against the Lu Family, and if you kneel down and apologize, unveiling the real culprit behind this, I will consider it water under the bridge and let you off!" Lu Chenguang thought he had given Chen Wei an out, but he saw no reason for Chen Wei to decline it.

Under the glare of the cameras, presenting himself as so forgiving and generous, he believed this would certainly earn the Lu Family some favor with the public.

"Wrongly accused?" Chen Wei chuckled, "Xiong Qi, Azalea, Wild Grass—when these three medicines are mixed together, they create a toxin. This toxin is a slow poison for patients with high blood pressure. Their condition may seem to improve for a short while, but in less than half a year, they will be gravely poisoned and beyond help! And you still say, this isn’t poison?"

"And specifically, this is medicine intended to treat high blood pressure. Are you trying to kill millions of people suffering from hypertension?" Chen Wei challenged.

"You, you stop talking nonsense!" Lu Chenguang was clearly panicking.

"Xiong Qi, Azalea, Wild Grass—when these three are mixed, they really create a toxin?"

"I haven’t heard of that, but the kid looks confident, doesn’t seem like he’s making it up."

"Azalea and Wild Grass are both considered to be ’cold’ medicines, while Xiong Qi is a ’fierce’ medicine; combined together, it’s certainly possible they could produce a toxin."

"If it’s as he says, then once this medicine hits the market, won’t it kill millions of high blood pressure patients?"

"My God! How can the Lu Family do such a thing? They must give us an explanation!"

"Right, we need a reasonable explanation. If this medicine enters our counters and is sold, we will also bear joint liability!"

...

Confronted with the one-sided turn of events, Lu Chenguang raised his hand, trying to calm them, persuading them not to believe Chen Wei’s malicious words, but he didn’t know where to start.

These people were clearly not prepared to give him a chance to defend himself, leaning in favor of Chen Wei, as if they were eager for trouble in the Lu Family!

Lu Chenguang’s gaze shifted to Chen Wei, angry! Fuming with rage!

But the next second, he noticed the presence of people like Lin Yibai and Lin Miaoke.

"How could it be them!" Lu Chenguang was shocked.

Wait a minute!

A sly smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down and listen to me, that kid is absolutely slandering the Lu Family without any basis. I have evidence!"

Evidence?

Upon hearing this word, the previously noisy crowd quickly fell silent.

Lu Chenguang’s smile grew even more brilliant, knowing it was time for a counterattack!
