Chapter 539: Chapter 0539: All or Nothing (2)

Soon after, Jack said expectantly:

"I really hope they can create a money-making company like the Minghuang Group. Then, we can just spend a dollar to take over their company and make a big profit again."

"Interesting! I was actually considering whether to crush these two families or not, but hearing what you said, let’s let them bounce around for a few more days."

Qin Aotian nodded, excitedly saying, "If they really could establish a company like the Minghuang Group, with our experience in takeover this time, we would definitely be more skilled next time."

"Qin Aotian, Yang Wei, you two bastards."

At the time Qin Aotian and Jack were enjoying their conversation, an angry roar suddenly echoed from outside.

"What’s going on?"

Jack frowned slightly—someone was still swearing at them in the office, which was audacious indeed!

"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and Sun Zhuangjia stormed in, seething with rage.

"How dare you! Sun Zhuangjia, you are no longer a shareholder of the company, how dare you be so rude. Isn’t this going too far?"

Seeing Sun Zhuangjia’s barbaric behavior, Jack sternly scolded.

"Spare me the official talk; you two have screwed me over badly."

Without giving any face, Sun Zhuangjia slammed a stack of documents on the table.

"Mr. Sun, what exactly happened? We are all making money together; why are you so furious?"

Qin Aotian patiently asked, puzzled.

"Making money? My ass, look closely. The New Detoxification Liquid has issues. If we don’t handle this well, all three of our families are done for."

Sun Zhuangjia bellowed, clearly irate.

"What’s the problem?" Qin Aotian’s expression changed as he quickly picked up the documents to check,

"How could this happen?"

"Uncle Qin, what happened?" Seeing Qin Aotian’s reaction, Jack quickly asked.

"There’s an issue with our product. Many people experienced side effects after taking the detoxification liquid." Qin Aotian stood up and said anxiously:

"This can’t be possible. The product has been tested multiple times; how could there be an issue?"

"That’s what I’d like to ask you!" Sun Zhuangjia, huffing and puffing, sat down on a chair and complained awkwardly:

"Nothing of this sort happened when I was at the company. Now that I’m out, you two messed up so badly, utterly useless."

"Stop farting around here. You were still at the company when the New Detoxification Liquid was launched. You are also responsible for the products sold at that time."

After glancing through the documents, Jack cursed, clearly upset.

"Stop arguing, let’s quickly figure out what exactly is going on,"

Qin Aotian loudly stopped Sun Zhuangjia and Jack’s argument and pulled out his phone to start investigating the situation.

Jack, uninterested in dealing with Sun Zhuangjia, immediately contacted his subordinates to understand the situation.

At present, the New Detoxification Liquid had become a household name, especially on Double Eleven, when innumerable buyers nationwide, because the detoxification liquid could treat minor ailments like diarrhea and colds, making its application very widespread and its users countless.

But just a few days later, those who had taken the New Detoxification Liquid began to suffer from poisoning. Not only did their original ailments recur, but they also became even more severe. The so-called detoxification liquid not only failed to detoxify but actually worsened the patients’ conditions, causing great anger among those who had purchased it.

Soon, there were calls for refunds and compensation, and even lawsuits against the New Minghuang Group across the country. Some irrational customers began to violently attack the sales points of the New Detoxification Liquid, demanding compensation and answers.

The various media outlets that had previously praised the New Detoxification Liquid suddenly turned against it, becoming advocates for consumer rights, and they surrounded the product’s executives and sales agents everywhere, pushing news of the Minghuang Group’s toxic products into the spotlight.

A flood of negative reports and public opinion nearly overwhelmed the Minghuang Group, with hordes of victims and media reporters blocking the entrance to the Minghuang Building, demonstrating and demanding explanations.

Faced with this situation, the Minghuang Group immediately called an urgent meeting, and all department managers and researchers gathered in the boardroom to discuss the issue.

"Who can tell me what exactly is going on?"

Watching the aggrieved crowds gathered in the square below and listening to the angry shouts outside, Jack banged the table with a pale face.

"Sun Kai, you are in charge of the development and production of the New Detoxification Liquid, hurry up and explain what is going on?"

Qin Aotian looked at Sun Kai with a grim expression.

"Reporting to all the bosses, after our deep-level testing, we found that while the New Detoxification Liquid does have some detoxifying effects, its principle is to temporarily suppress the symptoms, not to completely eradicate them,"

Sun Kai explained while wiping the sweat from his brow: "This suppression lasts about a week, and after that, the patients who used the detoxification liquid will experience a relapse of their illness, with even more severe symptoms."

"Damn it, with such major side effects, why didn’t you discover them earlier?" Jack roared through gritted teeth.

"Within seven days after taking the detoxification liquid, the patients’ symptoms completely disappear, so it’s impossible to detect any problems. If it weren’t for this incident becoming so severe, we would not have noticed that there were any side effects at all,"

With a pained expression, Sun Kai explained further, then suddenly looked up and shouted, "Moreover, the development and approval of the detoxification liquid were always the responsibility of Long Duba; he should be accountable for this matter."

"Where is Long Duba now?"

Sun Zhuangjia asked coldly. Although he was not a shareholder of the company, he was their largest agent, and this time the Sun Family had suffered huge losses, so he had the right to attend this meeting.

"This..." Sun Kai was stunned, then shook his head and said:

"Long Duba has already left the company and his whereabouts are now unknown!"

"Qin Aotian!" Jack looked at Qin Aotian and said through clenched teeth:

"Long Duba was someone you brought in, now there is a problem, where is he?"

"I’ll call him right now."

Qin Aotian immediately dialed Long Duba’s number in front of everyone.

"Hello, Brother Qin, what do you need?" Long Duba’s lazy voice answered.

"Long Duba, did you know about the side effects of the New Detoxification Liquid?"

Qin Aotian asked, gritting his teeth.

"I know!" To everyone’s surprise, Long Duba directly admitted it.

"You... did you know about it already?"

Qin Aotian paused, asking uncertainly.

"Yes, I knew during the development," Long Duba laughed smugly, "the so-called New Detoxification Liquid is just a type of fusion drug that can merge with various diseases. When the detoxification liquid merges with the virus, the human body returns to normal health. Once the merging is complete, it means the virus has upgraded, and when it breaks out again, it will be no minor disease."
