What?
Jiang Miaomiao clenched her fists in an instant.
She didn't forget. She simply never thought that this incident was also framed by the Gu family.
In her previous life, Jiang Pharmaceutical was suddenly exposed for having drugs that killed people. The stock price plummeted overnight. Even though Jiang's family presented all kinds of drug test reports, they still couldn't recover the losses. Her father's hair turned white as a result.
She never expected that this incident was also slandered by someone surnamed Gu! -
The next morning, the whole town was abuzz with one piece of news.
"Did you hear? Someone died after taking Jiang's Pharmaceutical's medicine!"
"Really? Can taking medicine kill someone?"
"Sure enough. Old Liu's wife from the old street took the medicine last night and was rushed to the hospital. I heard the hospital declared her dead this morning."
"These capitalists are no good. They'll do anything for profit, even murder for money!"
"Let's never buy Jiang's Pharmaceutical's medicine again. I still want to live for a few more years."
This topic about people's lives and deaths was of great concern to everyone. Before long, the hashtag #Jiang's Medicine Killed People# topped the trending list.
Not only that, but some marketing accounts also told a tear-jerking story from the perspective of the victim's husband, Old Liu, about a poor but loving couple who had gone through all kinds of hardships. Just when their life was getting better, they were separated by Jiang's medicine. It moved the netizens to tears.
The Weibo square was filled with criticism.
Netizens boycotted all of Jiang's businesses and demanded that Jiang's Pharmaceutical compensate the victim and have the responsible person go to prison.
[This kind of black-hearted business should just go bankrupt.]
[Be careful when buying medicine in the future. Avoid all the medicine produced by Jiang's Pharmaceutical.]
[If I see any pharmacy selling Jiang's medicine, I'll report it. They simply don't care about people's lives.]
[Without knowing the full story, I won't comment. The truth of the matter is still unclear. You're worrying too much.]
[The person above is such a hypocrite. If that's the case, you should buy more of Jiang's medicine.]
The internet was filled with criticism of Jiang's Pharmaceutical, and the trending list was all about them.
However, the hashtag about the incident involving Gu's Health Products that sent someone to the hospital last night had quietly disappeared. If there was no one behind the scenes pushing things along, Jiang Miao Miao wouldn't believe it.
Jiang Miao Miao closed her phone, a dark look passing through her eyes.
The Gu family was pressing hard on all fronts, hoping for Jiang's Pharmaceutical to go bankrupt as soon as possible.
They even threw their own filth at the Jiang family. What a vicious family!
This time around, she wouldn't allow the same thing to happen as in her previous life.
"Let's go to the hospital."
The recording of "Family Flavor" continued.
The two main themes of "Family Flavor" were not only delicious food but also the behind-the-scenes footage of each group of guests' family life.
Tao Yirou and the others who were admitted to the hospital last night had already returned to the recording site. Seeing Jiang Miao Miao hurrying out, they immediately started mocking her.
"Jiang Miao Miao, your Jiang's Pharmaceutical's medicine killed someone. How dare you still have the nerve to continue recording the show? How evil of you!"
Jiang Miao Miao didn't want to waste time with them. Time was urgent, and she had more important things to do.
According to the system's prompt, she had to rush to the hospital immediately.
Unfortunately, the recording site was too far from the hospital, and she might not make it in time.
"Hey, big brother, listen to me. You have to go to the hospital right now. No matter what that Liu guy says or does, you have to assure everyone in front of the media that our Jiang's Pharmaceutical's medicine is fine!"
At the same time, at the hospital entrance, a rugged-looking man with a full beard was crying uncontrollably in front of the media and reporters.
"Please help me! My wife took Jiang's Pharmaceutical's medicine last night and was rushed to the hospital. Now she's gone. How can I live without her?"
"My dear wife, you died so tragically. You're dead, but the Jiang family, the ones responsible for your death, haven't shown up at all. These damned capitalists don't care about our lives at all!"
A reporter immediately pointed the camera at him. "How can you be sure that your wife died from taking Jiang's Pharmaceutical's medicine? Did she only take that medicine and nothing else yesterday?"
The man's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm lying? My wife was feeling unwell all day yesterday and was sleeping. She took the medicine at night and continued sleeping. She didn't eat or take anything else!" Could it be that she had some other illness? Have you taken her to the hospital for a check-up?
Are you a reporter from the Jiang family? You keep defending the Jiang family everywhere. Now that my wife is dead, where can a commoner like me seek justice?
The bearded man cried even louder: "Wife, I'm so sorry. I'm so useless. I'm just an ordinary person with no background. The other side is a rich and powerful capitalist. Even if I take them to court, I'm sure I'll lose. I'm so useless and can't avenge you. I might as well die!"
As he spoke, the man rushed towards the pillar at the hospital entrance, looking as if he was going to commit suicide out of grief.
Many reporters at the scene were live-streaming the incident. When netizens saw this, they all became indignant and wanted to help the man seek justice.
The internet was flooded with curses towards the Jiang family. The apps under the Jiang family were maliciously reported, and several hundred people gathered in front of the Jiang family's building, demanding that the Jiang family's responsible person come out to apologize.
Despite the Jiang family presenting all the inspection reports of their medicines, netizens still didn't buy it.
"What does a report mean? Such capitalists must have bribed someone with money!"
Netizens attributed the Jiang family's self-defense as an inside job and even elevated it to a class issue.
"Yes, everyone must help this poor husband. How can an ordinary person fight against capital?"
"This is not just his fight. It's a declaration of war by all the working class against the capitalist class!"
Soon, the official Weibo account of the Gu family reposted the news and stated that the Jiang family, a black-hearted enterprise that harms the public's health for profit, should be punished by everyone. The Gu family would voluntarily offer professional legal assistance to this poor husband.
Netizens were all grateful to the Gu family and praised them as a good enterprise that serves the people.
"There are differences among capitalists."
"As long as they serve the people, they are good capitalists."
"Support the Gu family in defeating the Jiang family!"
In response to the Gu family, Jiang Zhi quickly reposted the Gu family's Weibo post and took the lead in donating money to the poor husband.
Netizens followed suit, and in no time, several million yuan was raised.
"Jiang Zhi is truly a role model for artists. She was the first in the entertainment industry to speak out about this matter."
"Wait, I remember Jiang Zhi is the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, right?"
"Don't bring them up together. Jiang Zhi has nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore."
"That's right. This time, Jiang Zhi participated in the variety show with Mrs. Gu. From now on, don't mention Jiang Zhi and the Jiang family in the same breath."
At this moment, Jiang Yu appeared at the hospital entrance.
All the media reporters swarmed towards him.
"Jiang Yu, your family's medicine killed someone. How dare you come to the hospital?"
Facing the media cameras, Jiang Yu showed no fear: "Are you a forensic doctor? Are you sure the cause of death was the medicine from the Jiang family? Spreading rumors without factual basis on the internet, can you bear the subsequent legal responsibility?"
