Chapter 1341 Intelligent Guesses!
“My guess is that many more companies must have played a part in framing the Three Billion Foundation for selling substandard traditional Chinese medicine, besides the four companies exposed by Fang Qiu and the Foundation.
“Fang Qiu should have obtained all the evidence. That was why he chose to expose them one by one. He disclosed only four companies, yet the other pharmaceutical companies in the market obviously no longer dared to make any move without careful thought.
“Next, let me introduce to you the past events I have arranged in chronological order.
“In the beginning, someone took a video as evidence and reported the Three Billion Foundation’s illegal activities: its clinics sold fake and shoddy medicinal herbs. After that, Fang Qiu stepped up quickly and promised to bear all the responsibilities. Then, reporters conducted many interviews and published videos they recorded. From them, we can see that Fang Qiu immediately went to the place where the incident happened. One after another, he saved four patients who were dying because of the inferior medicinal herbs they took.
“Then, some reporters followed Fang Qiu to chase after the doctor who fled. In the end, Fang Qiu succeeded in capturing him.
“Everyone knows there are a whole variety of technological methods for interrogating suspects. Beyond this, the police attached great importance to this case. In these circumstances, such a case should have been cracked earlier. Moreover, it is certain that Fang Qiu had been to Yang Cheng. The evidence pointed to two real go-betweens: one was arrested in Yang Cheng, and the other surrendered himself to the police in Yang Cheng. So far, Fang Qiu must have gained all the vital evidence of the case.
“I wonder if anyone had noticed one minor detail. Just after Fang Qiu got the evidence, a piece of news reported that the Life-prolonging Earthly Immortal Pills may contain carcinogens appeared in Honggang, but it lasted briefly. Even now, we can find relevant photos and screenshots about the news online.
“After this news emerged, Fang Qiu and the Foundation began to officially release the case progress on the Internet and exposed the first three Chinese Medicine companies.
“Later, Fang Qiu held a press conference but didn’t say if he would expose another company. Then he announced that the Three Billion Foundation and Renyi Group would join hands to put the Chinese medicine market in order.
“There is a high probability that the news released by Fang Qiu harmed the interests of all the Chinese Medicine companies in the country. Therefore, those companies deterred by Fang Qiu’s revelations about their secrets began to stir up trouble again. You may not have noticed something abnormal after Fang Qiu’s press conference. We saw some famous Chinese Medicine doctors appearing on online media and even on many TV stations. We had barely heard of them in the past, but somehow, they had turned up with surprising frequency recently. On the one hand, they acknowledged Fang Qiu’s strength. On the other hand, they expressed their disapproval of Fang Qiu’s plan to clean up the market.
“As these people started to spread demoralizing remarks, Fang Qiu exposed the fourth Chinese Medicine company: Licheng Pharmaceutical Company.
“I am deeply concerned about these incidents. All the time, I have been paying close attention to all kinds of information about this case on the Internet. As a result, I noticed that those so-called ‘Chinese Medicine experts’ disappeared from all the online media and TV stations immediately after Fang Qiu exposed the Licheng Pharmaceutical Company. These experts remained silent. None of them expressed their ideas against Fang Qiu’s rectification of the market again.
“I don’t know the detailed inside story. I just summarized all the crucial information I found online and the details few people might not have noticed. You can take a look.
“All the above is pure surmise on my part. Any resemblance to actual individuals or events is coincidental!”
One netizen offered this answer.
It was a magnificent piece of writing. The author chronologically organized all the related events that happened from the beginning to the end and weaved all these incidents together into an intriguing story.
It was written in great detail.
One after another, netizens in this question-answer community began to read it carefully. After they finished reading it, they liked it and published their comments.
As the number of likes increased, more and more people saw this answer. They also left their opinions and reposted this answer.
“It seems to be a piece of very smooth writing?”
“I think I have come to understand it. According to the order in which these things occurred, we can connect all of them. Besides, the author has discovered many details that we ignored. Amazing!”
“If that is the case, then Fang Qiu has made impressive achievements. It is like the ‘dramatic battle against landlords’ in modern times.”
“According to the author, Fang Qiu might have been in confrontation with not only four or five companies but all the companies in the Chinese Medicine industry. Frankly, I find it rather frightening!”
“Facing the entire Chinese Medicine industry? If so, Fang Qiu has been fighting singly against the vested interest of the Chinese Medicine industry. He’s quite something!”
“He deserves to be my Prince Charming. Impressive!”
All kinds of comments were spread quickly.
Before long…
Someone went to Fang Qiu’s Weibo, posted the link to the comment area under Fang Qiu’s first Weibo post, and asked, “Legendary Fang Qiu, is it true?”
In addition…
Some people publicized their questions in the comment areas of the Weibo accounts of the Foundation and these pharmaceutical companies.
Soon…
Everyone was asking for the truth. In a flash, the same link appeared everywhere in the official Weibo accounts of Fang Qiu, the Foundation, and all the Chinese Medicine companies.
Usually…
As the aggrieved parties, these Chinese Medicine companies should hasten to stand up and deny it. After all, it caused quite a stir. Surprisingly, none of these Chinese Medicine companies stepped forward to prove their innocence. All of them remained silent.
This time…
The netizens had a rough idea of what was going on.
Everyone felt that their guesses were more likely to be the truth.
Unlike the vast number of netizens…
Bosses of those Chinese Medicine companies also clicked on the link and saw the malicious but accurate speculation in the answers. Still, they remained silent and felt bitter in their hearts.
They had considered their plan perfect, with no weakness that could be exploited. To their surprise, a netizen had figured it all out accurately. It made them feel terribly ashamed.
Due to the fact that Fang Qiu had warned them, they didn’t dare to make any small moves now. At this moment, they felt the urge to refute and cover up the truth by leading everyone to talk about something else. However, they didn’t have the guts to take any rash actions!
It was because they feared that Fang Qiu would expose another company. They might irritate Fang Qiu again if they came forward to establish their innocence.
There was no other way.
They had no choice but to endure it when their reputation was ruined.
The bosses of these Chinese Medicine companies said nothing. Like them, many others who knew the inside story also chose to remain silent about this issue, such as the police, the Foundation workers, and the people from the Renyi Group.
They all knew that…
If they stood out and confirmed it, it would mean they had declared war on these bosses for Fang Qiu regardless of the dire consequences. Therefore, no one dared to stand up and say it. If they didn’t clarify it, the others could learn about the truth without causing considerable disturbance. Therefore, keeping their mouths shut was the best choice!
Over here…
In Jinling City, Jiangjing Province.
This was the city where Jiang Miaoyu’s family lived. Fang Qiu had been here once. Back then, Jiang Miaoyu went to celebrate Fang Qiu’s eighteenth birthday in Jianghang.
However…
It was different this time.
Just when Jiang Miaoyu walked out of the station, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at Jiang Miaoyu, Fang Qiu’s face was full of questions.
“My, my mom and dad.”
Jiang Miaoyu stretched out her right hand and pointed to the front. Then she turned back to look at her left hand — Fang Qiu was holding it tightly. Again, she blushed all the way to her ears.
“Oh, it’s a good opportunity to meet them.”
With a grin, Fang Qiu held all of Jiang Miaoyu’s luggage in his left hand and pulled her forward with his right hand.
He focused his eyes on the couple ahead.
The middle-aged man of medium height in a suit was looking at them with a straight face. Near him stood a tall woman who wore her hair in a delicate bun. She was tall and perfectly proportioned.
They were Jiang Miaoyu’s parents.
Usually, when young men met their prospective fathers-in-law for the first time, they would be timid. Fang Qiu was different from them as he took Jiang Miaoyu’s hand and went forward to greet them.
On the way, Jiang Miaoyu was so shy that she wanted to pull her hand back several times, but Fang Qiu grabbed her hand tightly and stopped her from pulling away her hand.
“Sir, Madam, nice to meet you.”
When he came to them, Fang Qiu took off his mask, bowed to them with a smile, and said, “My name is Fang Qiu, Miaoyu’s classmate, and friend.”
“Which one exactly? Her classmate or her friend?”
Jiang Miaoyu’s mother asked with a satisfied smile.
“Uh, a friend.”
Fang Qiu was a little stunned and said.
“Humph.”
Jiang Miaoyu’s father snorted, stepped forward, and said, “Let me take the luggage. Thank you for sending her home.”
After he said that…
Instead of taking the luggage from Fang Qiu’s hand, her father pulled Jiang Miaoyu’s hand away from Fang Qiu. Then, he turned around and walked out of the high-speed railway station with Jiang Miaoyu. As he walked, he said, “Let’s go out first. Or we might be blocked on the road.”
When Fang Qiu saw this…
He gave a wry smile.
Jiang Miaoyu turned around to look at Fang Qiu and couldn’t help sniggering because Fang Qiu looked so embarrassed.
“Fang Qiu, right?”
Her mother asked Fang Qiu in time, “Since you’re here, let’s have a meal together.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
In fact…
He didn’t want to have this meal either. Although Fang Qiu looked brave, he couldn’t stand this tense atmosphere. Who wouldn’t feel uneasy when they met their lovers’ parents for the first time?
Unfortunately, Jiang Miaoyu’s father was too smart. He took Jiang Miaoyu away but left her luggage in his hands. He couldn’t give the luggage to Jiang Miaoyu’s mother, could he?
In desperation, Fang Qiu could only agree.
They got out of the high-speed railway station.
Jiang Miaoyu’s dad found an upscale hotel nearby and took Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu there.
In a private room…
Food was served on the table.
“You came at the right time. I’m curious about one thing.”
Jiang Miaoyu’s father took out his mobile phone and clicked on the hot answer in the question-answer community. Then he put the phone before Fang Qiu and said, “Look at this. Is it true?”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
He picked it up and looked at it carefully. Then he nodded and said, “It’s a very close guess.”
“Oh, the author has guessed correctly!”
Her father shook his head and sighed with emotion. When he looked at Fang Qiu this time, his eyes softened a little, and he said, “Well done. Keep it up. It’s good for Miaoyu to have such a classmate like you.”
Fang Qiu heard his praise.
He replied modestly with a wry smile, “I know what I have done is not enough. I’ll work harder.”
“Mm.”
Jiang Miaoyu’s dad raised his eyebrows and nodded meaningfully.
Fang Qiu was surprised to find that it was not easy to please his prospective father-in-law!
“You’ve done a good job. You’re still very young, aren’t you?”
Jiang Miaoyu’s mom laughed and said as she tried to help him out.
