"Hmph. I don't... I don't believe you," Wu Juan said disdainfully, glancing at her husband with a pained expression.
"Honey, let's go to the hospital? My stomach really hurts... I really can't take it anymore."
"Don't rush, wait a moment longer," the man patted her shoulder, his eyes darting around slyly before suddenly saying, "Why don't you let her check your pulse? That way, she'll be convinced."
The woman glanced at him and slowly extended her arm.
At that moment, Xie Yifei brought a chair for Yin Xi. As soon as Yin Xi placed her fingers on her pulse, she couldn't help but be startled.
After testing for a few more seconds, she finally spoke, "Ms. Wu's pulse is deep and slippery, indicating cold qi within her body. It's true that she has consumed extremely cold items recently."
"What do you have to say for yourself now? Your traditional Chinese medicine must be problematic. No need to check the prescription, give us an explanation immediately."
Upon hearing this, Leng Fei's confidence surged. He glared fiercely at Yin Xi.
Meeting his gaze, Yin Xi stood up neither servile nor overbearing. "I said he consumed extremely cold items, but I never admitted that my prescription contained such herbs.
Has she not eaten anything else from yesterday afternoon until now?"
Her few words struck the middle-aged man speechless.
His eyes shifted a few times, and he quickly responded, "From last night to this morning, she only ate two bowls of congee and nothing else.
It must be your medicine that's problematic or you prescribed the wrong medicine. Stop making excuses."
At this point, several men in the crowd joined in the commotion.
"Yes, give them an explanation quickly. Otherwise, we'll call the drug administration and have your pharmacy shut down completely."
"Aren't you harming your customers by doing this? I think everyone should disperse quickly. A pharmacy like this is unreliable and doesn't deserve to use 'Xinglin' as its store name. You should never buy medicine here again."
The onlookers exchanged glances at the scene. Some indeed turned and left.
Others took out their phones to livestream the event.
In President Zhuo Sheng's office, Qin Si Ye was processing documents when Zhao Ze rushed in with a mobile phone.
"President, you asked me to investigate what happened with Miss Yin. I've found out that someone is causing trouble at the pharmacy, claiming to have bought fake medicine.
This website is currently doing a livestream."
"Oh," Qin Si Ye glanced at it and immediately opened his computer, finding the same website and opening it.
The scene was noisy, chaotic, and full of chatter.
"Sister, I found it." At this moment, Yin Zhe ran out from the lobby, pointing at the notebook in his hand. "These are all the prescriptions issued around 3 PM yesterday. Take a look."
Yin Xi took it and examined it carefully. She then raised the notebook, aimed it at the crowd, and said calmly and loudly:
"Around 3 PM yesterday, I only issued one prescription to treat coldness.
The ingredients listed are Chuan Xiong, Goji berries, Dang Gui, Ejiao, Bai Shao, and Shu Di, which have the effects of regulating menstruation and improving coldness.
Not a single ingredient is a cold-natured herb."
Upon hearing this, Leng Fei's face immediately darkened, and he said sternly, "This is impossible. You just took my wife's pulse and admitted yourself that she consumed cold-natured things.
And we haven't eaten anything else indiscriminately. This can only mean one thing: there must be fake medicine in the medicine you sold."
Some people in the crowd echoed loudly, "Yes, the medicine must be the problem."
"If something goes wrong, you try to shirk responsibility. I don't think it's the medicine that's the problem, but perhaps the boss themselves."
"Yes, yes, everyone, don't buy their medicine anymore to avoid being cheated."
"I think a pharmacy like this shouldn't exist. Let's smash it."
"Yes, smash it."
At this moment, several men exuding hostility rushed onto the steps, preparing to force their way into the lobby.
The situation devolved into chaos.
"What do you think you're doing? Are you openly robbing and smashing in broad daylight?" Jian Fan quickly stepped forward, pulling Yin Xi behind him, and glared at them furiously.
Qin Si Ye, watching on his phone screen, felt a jolt. He turned to Zhao Ze and asked, "Are there any of our people nearby? Notify them to go over quickly."
"Yes." Zhao Ze had just taken out his phone, preparing to make a call, when he suddenly saw several police officers appear. "President, the police are here."
