Lin Tianba: "And even though Luo Corporation has some negative press, for Luo Yao, it's nothing more than a scratch. Unlike us, even if they went bankrupt, they'd still stand as a towering mountain."
Having navigated the business world for years, Lin Tianba understood many things, even if he hadn't excelled at them.
"As for that ungrateful son Lin Ran, let’s not mention him unless he... never mind."
Lin Tianba had wanted Lin Ran to kneel in apology and cough up some money, but considering Lin Ran’s stubborn attitude, he knew it would be difficult.
Lin Jian rolled his eyes, clearly unwilling to speak.
Truthfully, he’d known about Luo Corporation’s troubles for a while and had even considered stepping forward as the young master of the Lin family to support Luo Yao.
But remembering how she’d treated him last time, he felt a chill in his heart.
Was it so wrong to want to stand in for his brother?
Liu Yuemei frowned in thought.
She had indeed gotten a bit carried away earlier.
"If Luo Corporation is harboring traitors and evading taxes, why hasn’t the government stepped in yet?"
Lin Tianba froze, staring at Liu Yuemei in disbelief.
He had to admit, for someone who usually paid no attention to the outside world, she had hit the nail on the head.
The government—the most authoritative body in China—how could they turn a blind eye?
Just then, a piece of news shattered the Lin family’s momentary joy.
Luo Yao’s goal was clear: since Second Luo refused to show himself, she wouldn’t wait any longer. She would clean up the company’s negative press and propel Luo Pharmaceuticals to the top of the industry.
In truth, Second Luo had already made his move, only to be forcefully suppressed by Luo Yao.
This battle for power had barely begun before it ended in Luo Yao’s victory.
As for Second Luo, hiding in the shadows, he had no choice but to stay there.
Luo Corporation promptly released its financial reports, which indeed didn’t match its revenue.
But soon after, a donation record surfaced, revealing that Luo Pharmaceuticals had been making massive annual contributions to society—free medical supplies, funds, and medications—on a scale so staggering it left people speechless.
The government quickly issued a statement to verify the claims.
In fact, it seemed they’d been waiting for Luo Yao to act before stepping in to defend this national enterprise.
Had Luo Yao not deliberately held back, they would have spoken up the moment the scandal broke.
In China, charitable donations and financial aid are tax-exempt.
While these transactions generated revenue, costs, and profits, the company had donated it all.
That’s why the financial and tax reports didn’t align.
Most companies donate, so discrepancies aren’t unusual—but Luo Pharmaceuticals’ level of generosity was unprecedented.
This was why few had even considered it as a possibility.
With the government’s endorsement, Luo Corporation’s reputation not only recovered but soared past its former glory.
[DeadDuckWon’tQuack]: I admit I spoke too harshly earlier. Luo Corporation is a national treasure, and I owe them an apology for my filthy assumptions.
[KeyboardWarriorNoRespect]: Pfft, who knows if any of this is real?
[RoamingTheGaps]: Some people’s mouths are harder than a duck’s beak. The government confirmed it, and they’re still sour.
[TopToxicity]: Enough arguing. Tax evasion doesn’t even matter—what we can’t tolerate is betraying the country.
[KingOfCringe]: Exactly. Luo Corporation should get out of China.
But just as the trolls were spewing their vitriol, Luo Corporation dropped another bombshell.
[Breaking: Luo Pharmaceuticals has successfully developed the 6th-generation anti-cancer drug. Clinical trials begin in two weeks, with market release in three months. Negotiations with the government are complete—it will be covered by national healthcare.]
The announcement sent the public into a frenzy.
The 6th-generation anti-cancer drug had been in development at Luo Corporation for three years, rumored to offer groundbreaking targeted therapy.
Its two biggest advantages? First, significantly higher effectiveness—even offering hope of recovery for some non-specialized cancer patients.
Second, minimal side effects. Compared to traditional treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, or cryotherapy, it’s far safer. While not entirely side-effect-free, for patients enduring the agony of cancer, it’s negligible.
And the most crucial point: healthcare coverage.
In China, nine major drug categories are excluded from healthcare coverage, with anti-cancer drugs at the top. Until now, most patients had to pay out of pocket. But this one? Fast-tracked for full coverage.
[HoneyedLips]: Who the hell called Luo Corporation corrupt? Step up and kiss me.
[PiggyEatsAll]: Oh, so the traitors are whitewashing now?
[WorldClassClown]: I’m speechless. This is too much to process—I’m staying quiet for now.
Public opinion had shifted from outrage to skepticism to awe in under an hour.
But it didn’t stop there. Soon, another government statement left the entire nation stunned.
[Official Statement: Recent rumors circulating online and on social media about Luo Technology harboring traitors have caused significant distress and damage to the involved parties. To clarify and uphold social order, the following is declared: @#¥%…]
Everyone reading it was floored.
[EatsTenCows]: Wait… so Luo Corporation didn’t shield a traitor—they handed them over immediately? The government says the guy’s locked up for life. Seriously?
[TooHotToHandle]: I knew it! A company that donates more than I’ll earn in ten lifetimes wouldn’t do something like that.
[DurianLover]: But there was still a traitor.
[PotterFan]: Did you even read the statement? The guy was Japanese-born, just registered in China through his mom’s household.
[Blindfolded]: It’s normal for research teams to have foreigners. This guy just broke confidentiality and paid the price.
[ThreeBloodsuckers]: We owe Luo Corporation an apology.
The next day, those who had once hurled insults at Luo Corporation’s doorstep found themselves humiliated.
Many were taken in by the authorities for "education," later returning to perform community service at Luo Corporation’s headquarters.
They had no choice—their vandalism had left the building covered in paint and filth.
Now, they had to clean it up themselves.
Security stepped in, not to stop them, but because their cleanup efforts were painfully slow.
One of the former ringleaders pleaded, "Let us make amends! I can’t even sleep at night otherwise."
He wasn’t lying. The night before, he’d kept slapping himself awake, muttering, "I’m the worst."
