[Iâm at a loss for words. Was there a need to conceal it so tightly? Youâve always been so focused on your studies, and Iâve always been too engrossed in my own pursuits to notice. No wonder it escaped my attention!]
[I recall the incident with the Wei familyâs mental strength potion. Back then, some of the potions supplied by the Wei family to the military failed to meet the required high concentration standards. Astonishingly, the Wei family had the audacity to replace them with ordinary, commercially available concentrated potions, resulting in the deaths of numerous warriors!]
[What! Is that true? I thought those warriors had simply overexerted themselves without utilizing the mental strength potion.]
[I remember the news reports stating the same. Could you be mistaken?]
[Thatâs impossible. Iâm in the habit of subscribing to real-time updates. I was utterly shocked when I came across this message. I even took a screenshot and saved it.]
To substantiate his claim, the netizen decided to share his screenshot as photographic evidence during the live stream.
[Screenshot.jpg]
Numerous netizens eagerly clicked on the photo, their curiosity piqued.
However, the content displayed on the screenshot left them in utter disbelief. It contained information that had never been part of their recollection. Bold, black letters revealed the shocking truthâThe Wei Corporationâs Energy Serum failed to meet standards, nearly leading to the downfall of the Allianceâs frontline.
[Is this information real?!]
[So, there is actual evidence?!]
[The Wei family is truly inviting their own demise.]
Naturally, skepticism arose among some individuals, questioning the authenticity of the screenshot.
[Could this be a fabricated screenshot designed to garner attention?]
[I have my doubts as well.]
[Letâs not jump to conclusions. We can verify its authenticity through proper evaluation]
As the netizens engaged in banter, the individual who had expressed his intention to appraise the screenshot returned to the live stream with the results of his evaluation. His actions successfully shifted the spotlight onto the Wei family.
[Itâs actually true!]
[I knew it. The Wei family is truly deplorable. The prices of mental strength potions have skyrocketed in recent years, making them unaffordable for many.]
[Exactly. If it werenât for the excruciating pain during mental strength riots, I wouldnât have been willing to spend over half of my monthly salary to purchase them!]
âMaster, there is an overwhelming number of comments regarding the mental strength potion on Star Web. The public relations team is finding it difficult to handle!â The butler of the Wei familyâs ancestral residence hurried into the main hall and reported to Wei Nan, the despondent head of the Wei family.
âWhere is Xiao Liu? Didnât he claim he could handle it?â Wei Nan stood up angrily and inquired about the whereabouts of his assistant.
âXiao Liu has already rushed to the company to address the situation. Husband, please donât be agitated. As long as money can resolve the issue, itâs not a problem. We can simply use our wealth to silence those individuals, just as we did eight years ago.â Wei Nanâs wife, Lin Wan, hastily rose to comfort her
husband.
âIdiot.â Wei Nan angrily waved Lin Wanâs hand away, his contemptuous gaze piercing through her. âWhat would someone like you understand? How many people are currently focused on the food competition? How many will pay attention to an incident from eight years ago? Do you believe erasing all related news and silencing the victimsâ families with money is as easy as it was eight years ago?â
Wei Nan cast a disdainful glance at Lin Wan, whose expression turned ugly, and continued, âI shouldnât have listened to you and resorted to buying peace with money back then. If I had heeded Liu Suâs advice and acknowledged my mistake, we wouldnât be facing this situation now!â
After uttering those words, Wei Nan paid no heed to Lin Wanâs distressed countenance and marched out of the main hall, leaving Lin Wan standing alone.
Lowering her head, Lin Wan refused to meet Wei Nanâs departing figure. She bit down on her lower lip, adorned with exquisite lipstick, and tightened her grip on the handkerchief clutched in her hand. Her strength was such that her recently done manicure dug deep into her palm, causing bright red blood to stain the pristine white fabric.
âSo now you Imow how to call me an idiot. Yet, when I proposed using money to buy peace, you readily agreed!â Lin Wan managed to regain her composure and carefully wiped away the blood from her injured palm. In a voice audible only to herself, she uttered, âAs expected, useless men always blame women.. If it werenât for my Wei family, you would have been utterly ruined long ago!â
