Chapter 335: You Reap What You Sow
Everyone was staring at the short video, confused.
They glanced around and saw the same video playing on everyone’s phone.
’Basic Anti-Aging Cream!’
"Good heavens! This is the video of the Basic Anti-Aging Cream being stolen!" someone exclaimed.
"That’s right. It’s a shame the person in black is wearing a mask, so you can’t see who it is!"
"Wait, why does this person in black look so familiar..."
Someone noticed this and instinctively glanced up at the deathly pale Shentu Jie.
This person was a reporter who had just accepted a hundred-thousand-yuan bribe from the Shentu family. He immediately pretended to know nothing and lowered his head.
"Mr. Shentu, this man’s build looks awfully familiar, don’t you think?"
Just then, Yu Lina from the Provincial City looked up from the video on her phone and fixed her gaze on Shentu Jie.
Jiang Xinghai had called her about this last night.
So, from the moment the Shentu family launched their Anti-aging Gel, she had been waiting for this exact moment to expose him.
Of course, she wasn’t denying that the Shentu family had successfully developed the Anti-aging Gel.
"Miss Yu, I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Shentu Jie waved his hand dismissively. He didn’t want to argue about it and risk exposing himself.
His gaze quickly fell on the man from the Ma Family of Yan City. "Mr. Ma, Youmei Company has decided. The distributorship will go to the Ma Family. Please, come and sign the contract."
"Well..."
The man from the Ma Family shook his head with a wry smile. "There’s no rush. I need to think it over."
"Mr. Ma, don’t do something you’ll regret," Shentu Jie said, extremely frustrated, his eyebrow twitching.
"Mr. Shentu, perhaps you should first explain who this black-clad thief stealing the Anti-Aging Cream in the video is."
Mr. Ma was no pushover. He sneered and looked at the others. "Or do none of you believe that the person who stole the Anti-Aging Cream formula is Shentu Jie himself?"
In truth, everyone had already figured it out.
But the man in black was masked, after all, and his features weren’t visible.
Without concrete evidence, they were reluctant to take a stand.
However, Yu Lina knew the truth. She took a step forward and said, "Based on this person’s build and physique, and comparing it to Mr. Shentu’s, there’s at least a fifty percent chance they’re the same person."
She wasn’t afraid of the Shentu family’s power, so she dared to speak her mind.
Besides, her statement was quite reasonable.
A fifty percent chance.
"Miss Yu, don’t you dare make such baseless accusations!" Shentu Jie could no longer contain his fury.
"I’m merely stating the facts. How are my accusations baseless?" Yu Lina took another step forward.
"Ouch, it’s so itchy."
Suddenly, a female executive sitting in the audience cried out.
Her once fair cheeks were now covered in a layer of blisters the size of rice grains. She scratched at them without thinking, causing the blisters to rupture, leaving her skin red and swollen.
"What!" Shentu Jie whipped his head around, his eyes wide with horror.
"Oh no, I’ve scratched myself raw! It’s bleeding!"
The female executive stared at the streaks of blood on her hand and began to cry out in panic.
The itching felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at her cheeks.
"My neck... My whole body..."
In just three seconds, all of the female executive’s exposed skin was covered in a layer of rice-grain-sized blisters!
’This is an allergic reaction!’
Jiang Xinghai had been certain of this the moment he saw that the black essence had been extracted from the Anti-aging Gel, changing its color to a milky white.
’This executive must have applied the Anti-aging Gel more than six hours ago!’
"My face, my whole body..."
Just then, another female employee from Youmei Company also began to break out in rice-grain-sized blisters on her face.
Her symptoms were identical to the executive’s.
The cameras from the major media outlets began to turn, preparing to get a close-up.
"Enough!"
Shentu Jie rushed over. "Did I invite you here to film this? Turn them off now!"
The reporters from the major media outlets had no choice but to turn off their cameras.
But onlookers like Yu Lina, who were just there for the show, kept filming with their phones.
"Quick, you two, get out of here, now!"
A bad feeling welled up in Shentu Jie’s heart. He immediately had someone take the two women away.
These two women were among those who had personally tested the Anti-aging Gel after its successful development last night.
’If I’m not mistaken, there are still seven or eight other women...’
RING RING RING...
His phone rang. After hearing the news, he nearly collapsed on the spot.
Every single person who tested the Anti-aging Gel last night was having an allergic reaction, without exception!
To make matters worse...
Last night, those women hadn’t just applied it to their faces; they had slathered it all over their bodies.
Now, the skin of the person with the most severe reaction had begun to fester, and she had already passed out.
This news was like a bolt from the blue.
It also caused the expressions of the models standing on the stage to change drastically.
"You reap what you sow," Yu Lina said with a cold smile, and then she left.
She was embarrassed for the Shentu family and the fate they had brought upon themselves.
