Xie Yifei immediately understood her intention and quickly poured the water from her cup into the paper cup Yin Zhe had brought.
Yin Xi took it and drank it down in one gulp, then looked down at them, "Now, you should believe me, right?"
Swallowing secretly, Wu Juan glanced at her man again before accepting the cup of warm water and drinking it.
Not long after, she began to cry out that she couldn't stand it and needed to go to the restroom.
Yin Xi arranged for Xie Yifei to escort her.
Not a single person from the crowd at the door had left. Those holding phones for live broadcasts were still earnestly and meticulously introducing the situation to their fans.
For a time, half of the people in K City were paying attention to this matter.
Everyone was filled with curiosity about the truth that was about to unfold.
Before long, Zou He and his companions arrived.
Yin Zhe had Jian Fan bring a table, and together they opened the leftover decoction and the unopened medicinal packets, examining them carefully.
Putting on disposable gloves, he rummaged through the dregs of the herbs. Soon, his eyes lit up as he picked out a long leaf that hadn't been fully boiled and said to everyone:
"The problem should lie with this.
Everyone, please look. This traditional Chinese medicine is called Senna leaf. It is bitter and cold in nature, with the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. It also causes abdominal pain after consumption.
The other packet of unboiled herbs is full of warming herbs that improve cold body constitution. Therefore, this medicine did not originate from our store."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, finding her words logical and highly credible.
At this moment, Wu Juan, supported by Xie Yifei, also walked out from the hall.
Hearing Yin Xi's words, she turned to her husband and shouted, "Leng Fei, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but focus their gaze on Leng Fei.
Leng Fei's heart trembled. He never expected that the woman in front of him, despite her young age, would be so astute as to identify this herb from a pile of messy medicinal dregs.
"How would I know what's going on? These medicines were all bought at your store. Maybe she picked the wrong herbs when she was dispensing them?" Leng Fei's eyes darted back and forth.
"Mr. Leng, your imagination is truly remarkable." Xie Yifei stepped forward, glaring at him with unconcealed anger, her voice ringing with power, "Our President Yin is an internationally renowned Chinese medicine practitioner. How could she possibly make such a basic mistake as you described?
Furthermore, you bought three doses of medicine. Our store dispenses four doses or fewer together, then divides them evenly for individual packaging.
Since the other dose did not contain this herb, it means there was no mistake in dispensing."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immensely shocked and even began to suspect that this Mr. Leng was deliberately causing trouble.
An elderly woman in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Leng, did your family perhaps buy Senna leaves before and mix them up?"
The remark struck a chord. Wu Juan stepped forward and forcefully grabbed Leng Fei's arm, sternly asking, "Leng Fei, I remember you bought Senna leaves a few days ago because you were constipated. Could it be that you really mixed up the medicine?"
"I... I don't know." Leng Fei's face turned red, and he clutched his head, stuttering guiltily.
With a loud "slap," Wu Juan raised her hand and gave him a resounding smack, "You scoundrel, were you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to kill me?"
"What are you doing?" Zou He quickly walked over upon seeing this and stood between them.
Wu Juan's condition had clearly improved significantly after her trip to the restroom.
"Wife, I really don't know. I... how could I possibly harm you? Maybe I really... really wasn't paying attention and mixed up the medicine." Leng Fei, with a guilty conscience, trembled with fear.
Seeing his pathetic state, it seemed he was likely henpecked at home.
Upon seeing that the Xinglin Pharmacy's explanation was logical and well-founded, he could only change his story.
"Leng Fei, you can't just come here to cause trouble without understanding the facts. There are people live-streaming, and I believe quite a number of people in the city are watching. You've caused a significant impact on a newly opened pharmacy," Han Haoming said, his face grim.
"You must apologize to the owner on the spot, otherwise, they might sue you..."
"Yes, yes. Officer Han's lesson is well taken," Leng Fei quickly replied, nodding subserviently. He then turned back to Yin Xi,
"President Yin, regarding today's incident... I am truly sorry. It was my own mistake... my own mistake.
For all the... all the economic losses your store has suffered, I will compensate. I only beg for your... your forgiveness."
