Chapter 253: Panicking!
"Old brother, take them back for investigation," Qin Jiang chuckled, "No, we should expose their true colors right now and show everyone the facts and truth!"
"So the public doesn't think we're arresting people blindly without understanding right from wrong, right?"
Chen Jiuheng nodded, "Exactly, their misdeeds should be publicly disclosed."
He waved his hand, "First, take them all into custody."
Those bribed reporters and the subjects with ulcerated faces all showed signs of panic.
At first, they wanted to resist and argue their case.
But upon seeing the tasers crackling with electricity, they quickly fell silent and obedient.
They were soon subdued.
Qin Jiang pointed at the middle-aged man with glasses and said coldly, "Let's start with him."
Chen Jiuheng immediately ordered his subordinates to look into the man's information.
Before long, his recent actions were laid bare for all to see, clearly presented to the onlookers.
"Zhang Shun, a reporter from Jinling City, works for a private news agency, was once arrested for taking bribes to spread false information, sentenced to five years... Recently, his bank account mysteriously received an unexplained sum of money..."
The crowd was instantly in an uproar.
"No wonder, he has a history!"
"Looks like he really took the money to come here and make trouble intentionally! Even acting so righteous, it's disgusting!"
"Shameless!"
The crowd was filled with indignation; many of them had just been bewildered and had almost believed that Jiangge Group was the kind of powerful corporation that abuses its authority!
They didn't expect Zhang Shun to be such a character...
As Zhang Shun's true nature was revealed, the faces of the others turned ashen.
They knew that turning their situation around now would be difficult.
"Check that one next," Qin Jiang said, pointing at one of the men with ulcerated faces, "It's obvious this damned reporter came here to cause trouble for money, but since Jiangge Group hasn't cleared its name yet, let's have these people who claim their faces became disfigured because of our products prove it for us."
"Let everyone see whose medicine they actually used to end up with faces like this!"
Chen Jiuheng nodded.
In less than ten minutes, this person's information was also clearly unveiled.
"Suffering from severe diabetes, signed a drug trial agreement with the Rong Family due to lack of money, received three hundred thousand yuan in compensation, yesterday, his bank account received an unexplained deposit of five hundred thousand yuan..."
With this revelation, a dead silence fell over the venue.
Now the truth was out in the open!
Even a fool would know that this was the Rong Family's doing.
Qin Jiang looked at them coldly, "You really have guts, daring to target my Jiangge Group in league with the Rong Family! Do I appear to be such an easy target to you?"
"Thump—" The crowd fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
"I just got a rich second-generation boyfriend, and we're about to get engaged; I absolutely can't afford to have a criminal record!"
"I have elders to take care of and children to feed; the whole family relies on me. I was just momentarily possessed..."
"Please don't hold it against us!"
"As a businessperson like you, you surely won't stoop to our level, right?"
They frantically pleaded, cried their eyes out, and dragged their ancestors into it, all to seek Qin Jiang's forgiveness.
After all, who wants to go to jail?
Just as Qin Jiang was about to speak, Xu Muge chimed in, "We are not unreasonable people. Even though you were blinded by self-interest and deliberately framed our Jiangge Group, our company develops products for the benefit of everyone. We will still take care of the injuries on your faces."
Xu Muge's words immediately won the admiration of everyone!
Indeed, it was a company with true class.
These people had framend Jiangge Group, but Xu Muge was even willing to help them treat their facial injuries?
Upon hearing this, the test subjects' eyes lit up with excitement, "Really... really?"
After all, if they had a choice, they wouldn't want to live with faces ravaged like a dog's chew toy! Xu Muge's words gave them hope!
Xu Muge said placidly, "Bring out our newly developed White Jade ointment."
Soon, several ointments were brought up.
The people from Jiangge Group, suppressing their revulsion, applied it to them.
"It's cool and refreshing, that burning sensation from the ulcers, it disappeared!"
"This is... this is miraculous!"
"I feel completely refreshed!"
They found it unbelievable.
Half an hour later, under everyone's watchful eyes, the rashes on those people's faces had significantly reduced.
The ulcerated parts had even begun to scab over.
The effects were so apparent, they were visible to the naked eye.
This scene shocked everyone at the press conference; they all took photos of this moment, planning to use it as a gimmick to create a sensational news story!
After all, a medicine with such heaven-defying effects would certainly cause a terrifying stir in the market!
If they could get this exclusive information, they could definitely attract a huge amount of traffic!
The test subjects were overjoyed and extremely grateful towards Xu Muge, but seeing that Xu was approachable, they quickly turned to implore her.
However, Xu Muge smiled and said, "You are mistaken. I let you try the medicine to demonstrate the magnanimity of our Jiangge Group, but you allowed greed to cloud your judgment, intending to push us to our doom. For that, I won't easily forgive you."
"If you've done it, you must pay the price."
Having said that, she looked towards Chen Jiuheng with a smile, "I'll trouble you now!"
Xu Muge's words struck them like a bolt from the blue...
They thought Xu Muge was genuinely kind enough to let them go, but she was merely using them as expendables after all...
Xu Muge helped them treat the wounds on their faces solely to use their injuries to showcase the powerful effect of Jiangge Group's new drug!
Chen Jiuheng didn't waste any words, and directly waved his hand for his subordinates to drag them away...
What awaited them was nothing short of a prison sentence.
Xu Muge took a deep breath of relief; she was worried about finding the right candidates to prove the powerful effect of "White Jade." She didn't expect the Rong Family to send people over so soon!
This time, not only did the Rong Family fail to bring them down, but they also inadvertently helped them indirectly promote the powerful healing properties of "White Jade." She believed this product would soon wreak havoc in the market!
Qin Jiang glanced at Xu Muge, his eyes filled with amusement. He hadn't expected Xu Muge to come up with such a method to advertise her new product.
In the midst of the noisy scene, Xu Muge spoke up again, "Ladies and gentlemen, a little interlude has disturbed all of you; I hope for your understanding. We at Jiangge Group also did not expect that we would attract such targeted hostility from a rival company; we are truly sorry."
"However, the goal of this press conference has been achieved. Jiangge Group has showcased the powerful effect of our product to all of you!"
"We hope you will help us spread the word."
"Additionally, Jiangge Group has always distinguished clearly between friends and foes, focusing on reputation and credibility. We hope everyone will report the facts truthfully, without exaggeration."
"Otherwise..."
"Our Jiangge Group's legal department won't be polite!"
Xu Muge's well-phrased speech made the crowd nod in agreement; even if they had any ideas, seeing what happened to that group of people, they didn't dare to go ahead with them...
On the other side, in Jinling City, the Rong Family! Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
The Rong Family father and son were watching this live broadcast in its entirety!
Seeing the situation develop to this extent, Rong Buhuo was so angry he smashed his teacup to pieces!
"Scoundrels!"
He was furious. This time they hadn't managed to make Qin Jiang suffer, instead, they had implicated the Rong Family!
What the Rong Family was about to face now was a barrage of doubts and questions...
"Beep beep beep!"
The mobile phone of Patriarch Rong suddenly rang out, and a young woman's voice came through.
"Patriarch, something terrible has happened! Our company's stock price has plummeted by five points, and it's still in free fall..."
Hearing this news, Patriarch Rong's eyes rolled back, and he clutched his chest as he fainted on the spot...
"Dad! Dad!" Rong Buhuo hurriedly scrambled to make an emergency call.
"Qin Jiang, Xu Muge... you despicable pair! I'll never be done with you both!"
