Chapter 526: Chapter 484: Not Without Reason

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized.

Since he was the one who stepped forward, naturally there were no problems.

Immediately, some people in the chat said they were going to go out and buy the medicine, as it was cheap, so it was better to be prepared than sorry.

However, this decision shifted the pressure onto Zhuo Jinman’s side.

At that time, she was the one who had said the flu was severe, and she had dealt with the emergency, while the Elders Council had also followed her advice.

Now that things had reached this point, it meant her advice was wrong, her decisions were flawed.

The impact was huge.

Right there, reporters were discussing fervently.

Those watching the live broadcast couldn’t help but send a flurry of questioning comments.

Zhuo Jinman on her side, was also aware of the situation.

She had just finished researching the samples and discovered it was just a common flu, and before she had time to think of a way to rectify the situation, Huangfu Zhen had already made those remarks in support of Jiang Zhe.

Her temples were throbbing.

When she had received the flu samples, she indeed had not examined them carefully herself; she had intended to use this opportunity to stir up old memories about the Jiang Family and suppress Jiang Zhe a bit, to let her know that Beicheng Continent was not as easy to stay in as she imagined.

So, Zhuo Jinman went with the flow and handled it the same way as it was dealt with eight years ago.

The plan was to suppress Jiang Zhe, and then step in to inform everyone that the problem wasn’t serious, distribute some medicine to everyone, and resolve the issue efficiently, killing two birds with one stone.

Where could she have imagined that Jiang Zhe would sort out the issue in just a couple of days?

This completely caught Zhuo Jinman off guard.

Zhuo Jinman still had a way to remedy the situation, but Jiang Zhe had actually brought in Huangfu Zhen!

Huangfu Zhen had not concerned himself with worldly affairs for many years; even Zhuo Jinman had wanted to meet with him several times over the past decade, only to be rejected. The Pharmaceutical Research Institute had become completely independent from all affairs to the extent that many people had forgotten its existence.

But now, Huangfu Zhen had appeared!

Zhuo Jinman was very troubled.

Assistant Xu also knew that things were not looking good and could only wait quietly for Zhuo Jinman’s instructions.

On-site, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, reporters wanted to flee. They did not want to get involved with Zhuo Jinman’s affairs.

"Wait a moment!" Jiang Zhe spoke up.

The people could only wait.

However, some of the savvy reporters had already turned off their live broadcasts.

Unfortunately, in this information-rich society, turning them off was of no use.

Not far away, Fen Ye, with a few people, was doing a live broadcast on the spot.

Their location was good, and their broadcast room was exceptionally crowded.

Some people who couldn’t watch the reporters’ broadcasts all poured into their live broadcast room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this flu outbreak has been proven to be an accident. Neither I nor the Jiang Family have done what you all claim we did. Since that’s the case, similarly, the flu outbreak from twenty-some years ago might not be as everyone claims, necessarily done by our Jiang Family. You all understand this logic, right?" Jiang Zhe spoke clearly, enunciating every word.

The reporters looked at each other, not daring to say yes or no.

But Jiang Zhe wasn’t looking for their agreement.

They came today just to make a scene, to have more people in the live broadcast room, as long as they heard his words, that was enough; the reporters themselves were not important.

Jiang Zhe continued, "The events from over two decades ago must also have a truth. I don’t know what that is yet, but it doesn’t mean I’ll never find out. When I do, I will let everyone know."

Now the reporters could finally leave.

Originally, I planned not to issue any press releases after returning.

But the power of the public was not easily suppressed, especially because, in their effort to defame Jiang Zhe, those pharmacy owners had bought trending searches on social media that caused a sensation and drew a lot of attention.

Today, Jiang Zhe took advantage of the opportunity to maximize the dissemination of his voice, combined with the voices of the audience watching the live broadcast, it didn’t take long for everyone to know that the influenza issue was not serious.

Everyone just needed to follow Jiang Zhe’s prescription for the medication.

As for the doubts raised by Zhuo Jinman, they caused quite a stir.

Forced by the situation, Zhuo Jinman urgently issued a statement, confirming that the flu wasn’t severe, but the reason for handling it with such stringent measures as eight years ago was the fear of any unforeseen circumstances. Human life was precious, and she did not want to bear any potential losses, so she had chosen to deal with it in a strict manner.

Her explanation was not unreasonable.

Although many people were not satisfied, many others could understand her difficulty.

Zhuo Jinman, with much difficulty, barely managed to get past this hurdle.

At the Jiang family home, after the others had left, only those from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute remained.

Madam Jiang approached Huangfu Zhen with a smile, "Huangfu, old friend, it’s been many years. I trust you’ve been well."

"Madam, I’ve been well. I haven’t ventured out of my home for over a decade, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhe has grown up so much," Huangfu Zhen’s previously solemn expression softened when he looked at Jiang Zhe.

"Yes, I hadn’t expected it either," Madam Jiang suddenly looked surprised. "How did you know that Jiang Zhe has grown up?"

When Jiang Xi had left with the child in her arms, no one even knew the child’s name.

Huangfu Zhen simply smiled without saying a word.

Madam Jiang invited him to stay for dinner at the Jiang’s, but Huangfu Zhen shook his head, "No need, I have many things to attend to. I still need to offer guidance to my students."

He indicated towards a group of elderly individuals beside him, all with white hair.

Jiang Zhe and Qin Jingchen chuckled at the same time.

Seeing this, Madam Jiang did not insist on his stay.

As Huangfu Zhen was about to leave, Jiang Zhe said, "Let me see Huangfu Teacher out."

She followed Huangfu Zhen’s steps.

Huangfu Zhen glanced at her and complained, "I’ve told you many times to come visit me on the Beicheng Continent, but you, you never agree. I’ve really taught you for nothing these past years! You came this time for that boy Qin Jingchen, didn’t you?"

"Not entirely," Jiang Zhe shrugged.

"Not entirely? Well, that boy does seem decent, and he’s also polite to me. If he ever bullies you, come and tell me."

"Got it."

Huangfu Zhen initially wanted to mention Zhuo Jinman’s matter, but then realized there wasn’t much to say and just remarked, "Alright, I’ll leave here."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Huangfu," Jiang Zhe waved.

Hearing this ’Grandpa’, Huangfu Zhen paused for a moment, turned around to look at Jiang Zhe, but found she had already turned back and was walking towards Madam Jiang.

He chuckled to himself; the girl who had been calling him ’old man’ for over a decade had, for once, called him ’Grandpa.’ Having taught so many students, having one like her made him feel no regrets.

Madam Jiang held Jiang Zhe’s hand with a sense of relief, "Thankfully, the incident wasn’t a major one, and Huangfu was here to help clean up the mess."

"Actually, even if he hadn’t come, the issue wouldn’t have been that difficult to resolve. It would have just been more troublesome," said Qin Jingchen. "It’s unnecessary for Jiang Zhe to endure such trouble."
