The reporter, intimidated by the menacing gazes, still stubbornly stuck out his neck and retorted, "You capitalists, just because you have some money, think you can do whatever you want. Jiang's medicine has killed people, and now you want to silence us!"
Netizens' criticism of Jiang Yu was incessant.
[Is this the person in charge of Jiang's? What kind of attitude is this?]
[Exactly! Their medicine killed someone, and instead of compensating the victims, they're threatening the reporter here. How arrogant!]
Seeing this, the bearded man started wailing and lamenting again.
"Wife, you died unjustly. Alas, these capitalists cover the sky with one hand. I'm just an uneducated honest man. How can I seek justice for you? I'm so useless..."
At this moment, the legal team of Gu's arrived.
"Mr. Liu, rest assured. Our Gu's will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Yes, everyone is equal before the law. We will surely bring the wrongdoers to justice."
Jiang Yu looked at the legal team, who assumed an air of self - righteousness, and felt nothing but disgust.
"Is this the professional team of Gu's Group? Even before the doctor has made public the cause of the deceased's death, you lawyers, who claim to be legal professionals, have already firmly decided to convict Jiang's just by listening to one - sided words. Is this your so - called professionalism?"
The legal team of Gu's exchanged a knowing smile.
Their mission this time was not to find the truth.
Sometimes, public opinion is more important than the truth.
As long as this incident is made big enough, the rumor that Jiang's medicine has killed people will spread far and wide.
With such a rumor, who would risk their health to buy the medicine produced by Jiang's?
As for the truth, who really cares?
"Ladies and gentlemen," Jiang Yu looked at the group of reporters. "I can swear by my entire Jiang family that the medicine produced by Jiang's is absolutely problem - free. Before the cause of the deceased's death is determined, I will ask my lawyer to reserve the right to pursue legal action against any slander of Jiang's!"
Upon hearing this, the bearded man started making a ruckus again. "You Jiang's are too bullying. My wife died from taking your medicine! I don't understand those technical terms you said. All I know is that you're the murderers!"
Jiang Yu's eyes grew colder. "I only speak based on evidence. I've already called the police. The police will cooperate with the forensic doctor to examine the deceased's body. Once the cause of death is made public, all rumors will be dispelled automatically."
Hearing this, a flash of complacency quickly passed through the bearded man's eyes.
The body?
The body had already been sent to the crematorium. Dreaming of examining the cause of death!
Finally, a relatively rational reporter in the crowd spoke up. "Indeed, the hospital has not made public the cause of the deceased's death yet. Mr. Liu's oral statement alone can't prove anything."
"Didn't it say that the deceased was rescued in the hospital all night last night? Why hasn't the hospital announced the cause of death?"
As people were discussing, a clear and sweet female voice came.
"Naturally, it's because the deceased wasn't rescued in the hospital last night." Jiang Miaomiao opened the car door and strode down.
Glancing at the bearded man sitting on the ground crying and shouting, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. "The deceased had already passed away before coming to the hospital. The claim that she was rescued for a whole night due to the medicine is sheer nonsense!"
These words made the bearded man sitting on the ground tremble.
But there were too many people at the scene, and no one noticed his strange behavior.
The reporters swarmed towards Jiang Miaomiao.
"Who are you? How do you know the inside story?"
"How can you be sure that the deceased had died before coming to the hospital?"
"I recognize her. She's the daughter of the Jiang family!"
Hearing her identity, the bearded man started shouting again. "Great! Your Jiang family will say anything to shirk responsibility! It's my wife who died. I know better than you when she died! She died this morning after being rescued all night. Your Jiang family are the murderers!"
Jiang Miaomiao snorted. "When the deceased actually died is not up to you or me to decide."
"What do you mean?"
"The living can lie, but the dead can't."
Jiang Miaomiao looked at the crowd. "I've already contacted the police. The forensic doctor has determined the exact time of the deceased's death."
"You're lying!" The bearded man suddenly stood up. "The body has been cremated. How can the forensic doctor determine it from a pile of ashes? You bitch are talking nonsense!"
Hearing this, Jiang Miaomiao sneered. "Don't you love your wife very much? You sent her to be cremated right after she died. Are you afraid that the forensic doctor will find out the real cause of your wife's death?"
"Yeah!" The on - lookers also sensed something was wrong.
"Didn't he say his wife died this morning? It's only ten o'clock in the morning. How could she be cremated so quickly?"
"There must be something fishy about cremating the body in such a hurry!"
"Yeah, if it was really Jiang's medicine that killed someone, why rush to cremate the body?"
"I thought there was something wrong with this matter just now. This man's act is too over - the - top and fake!"
Seeing that everyone's attitude had changed, the bearded man became anxious.
"You bitch, stop spreading false rumors here. In my wife's hometown, the tradition is to cremate the body as soon as possible after death. Now that my wife's body is gone, you can say whatever you want. You're rich, powerful, and good at talking. I'm just an uneducated honest man and can't argue with you!"
Honest man?
Jiang Miaomiao narrowed her eyes, suppressing her anger. "The most venomous ones are people like you, who call themselves honest. You've been married to your wife for twelve years, and every time you're in a bad mood, you take it out on her by hitting her.
Last night, you got drunk and committed domestic violence against her again. This poor woman took painkillers with her last breath, thinking that she could sleep it off like before.
But this time, she never woke up. And you, the murderer, didn't even let her rest in peace after her death. You're still pretending to be affectionate and trying to extort a large sum of money by using her death!"
After hearing her words, there was a murmur of surprise in the crowd.
"Is this... true or false?"
"She seems to be telling it in such detail. It feels real."
"And the husband cremated the body so quickly. It's really suspicious."
"But how does she know all this? Could it be that Jiang's fabricated it to avoid responsibility?"
Jiang Miaomiao didn't show any kindness to these fickle reporters.
"Whether it's fabricated or not, the police will judge.
Some reporters, it seems, have forgotten the three principles of news - authenticity, timeliness, and objectivity. They're eager to convict people before the truth is out. Do you even deserve to be called reporters?"
Some of the reporters felt extremely ashamed, while most of them were still stubbornly shouting, "What you said has no evidence to support it. Who knows if you're lying?"
The bearded man also joined in. "That's right! Now that my wife's body has been cremated, why should everyone believe your one - sided words?"
Jiang Miaomiao lazily lifted her eyelids. "Who said the deceased's body has been cremated?"
