He had always been carefully protecting Ling'er, never allowing her to show her true face to the world.
But this ti, they had reached a critical mont.
The company needed soone to manage it, and currently, all business affairs were concentrated in his own hands.
If Ling'er could appropriately help him share so of the burden, he felt that he could split his attention to other matters.
In the dead of night, Lin Yi sat alone, leaning against the head of the bed.
He turned around to check, and saw that Han Xuewei had already fallen fast asleep.
For so reason, he felt his mind was in chaos. Continue reading at empire
It seed that many threads had not been completely sorted out.
He quietly got out of bed and checked the ti—it was already 2:30 in the morning.
In another two or three hours, dawn would break, and he feared that another night would have passed him by in vain.
Just then, Lin Yi's phone suddenly buzzed with a vibration.
He quickly turned to look and saw the screen light up with a familiar number.
Yes, he saw clearly, it was Hei Lang.
In the dead of night, Hei Lang typically wouldn't disturb him unless absolutely necessary.
Unless, it was an ergency.
Grabbing his phone, Lin Yi hurriedly left the room.
"Hello, what's up?"
"Big brother, there's trouble. Sothing bad happened; hurry to the People's Hospital."
"What? What happened now? Who's in the hospital?"
Lin Yi was sowhat surprised after finding out.
It seed that troubles with those close to him had never ceased.
"It's not one of our people. It's the custors who bought dicine from our store. They're all poisoned now and have been brought to the hospital. Ah, big brother, another one just ca in; there are already 13 of them now."
"What are you saying? Poisoned? This, this can't be possible. We've always been using these herbs without any issues before."
Lin Yi indeed found it hard to accept the fact.
The dicines had been tried and tested countless tis, and every single one was proven to be completely non-toxic.
Even when mixed together, they were not supposed to produce any toxicity. How could such symptoms suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"I don't know the details, big brother. It's best you co quickly."
"Okay, I understand. I'm on my way."
He knew that this ti the situation had beco very serious.
If the people were only mildly poisoned, they might recover quickly after a couple of days in the hospital and so IV fluids.
But the critical issue was the impact on his reputation—it was likely to be significant.
He absolutely couldn't allow this situation to continue developing.
Without having the ti to greet Han Xuewei, Lin Yi rushed to the People's Hospital.
By that ti, People's Hospital was already ablaze with lights.
He saw ambulances coming and going, one after the other.
And each person that got out seed to have only one action—they were continuously clutching their stomachs with their hands.
"Big brother, we're over here."
Just then, he heard soone calling his na from behind; the voice was very familiar—it must have been Hei Lang.
He turned around and saw soone standing in a corner under a streetlight, in a blind spot of the courtyard.
Hei Lang was standing there, and there seed to be soone else with him. He just waved at Lin Yi.
Quickly, Lin Yi stepped forward.
Standing beside him was the manager of the pharmacy.
"What's going on? What's the situation now?"
"President Lin, it's a relief you're here, and I can't handle these matters anymore."
"Enough, stop talking nonsense. Tell what exactly is happening."
"At 8:00 tonight, I received a call that people had symptom of vomiting and diarrhea after taking our Elixir. They've been brought to the hospital, so I treated it as a routine incident and didn't disturb you."
"And then?"
"Later, I realized it wasn't that simple because within a short two hours, one after another, more than a dozen people ca, all of whom had taken our Elixir. So, I concluded that this must be a case of mass poisoning."
"That's impossible. Our dicines don't have any issues. They had been tested before leaving the production line; this situation simply couldn't occur."
"But the key point is that the incident has already occurred. President Lin, what should we do?"
"Currently, what diagnosis have the doctors given?"
"Doctors? After all the patients arrived, they all underwent stomach pumping, and now, they are on IV drips. But, it seems like the symptoms haven't completely subsided for so of them. A few, due to severe illnesses or other underlying health issues, have been transferred to the ICU."
"What? There are those who've been moved to the intensive care unit?"
Lin Yi was only too familiar with that place.
He knew it was like the gate to the underworld for human life.
If you could walk out of there successfully, you'd definitely be a big winner in life.
However, unfortunately, about 80% of the people who went there, probably wouldn't co out in one piece.
"Yes, they were just rushed into ICU. They had previous health conditions, so the effects of the dicine seem to have suddenly worsened their illnesses. The others are relatively stable."
"Has this been reported?"
"Of course, with an incident this big, the hospital couldn't possibly conceal it. I guess that as soon as it gets light, people will co looking for . President Lin, what should we do in this situation?"
The manager Liu was sowhat anxious.
He was the legal representative of the pharmacy.
So, if anything went wrong, he was certainly the first person to be held accountable.
In normal circumstances, Lin Yi ought to be able to disassociate himself from the incident.
But regardless, this was his own person, so under these circumstances, Lin Yi wouldn't back down.
"You don't need to worry for now. First, take a rough count of the number of people, then understand the symptoms of each one. Better yet, I'll co with you."
