Fake Medicine

Fake medicine.

A scammer.

To think that even at the very end, there would be such a good show.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Brilliant.

This was truly brilliant.

As expected, following Young Master Lin always meant a good show to watch.

Butler Wang's face was full of smiles.

Lin Li frowned.

Indeed, Lin Xuan had never lied before.

Could it really be as Lin Xuan said, that Lei Liming was actually deceiving him?

Lin Li began to waver again.

"No, that's impossible."

Lin Li consoled himself once more.

Just because he didn't lie in the past didn't mean Lin Xuan wouldn't lie in the future.

Lin Xuan was definitely just trying to mess with his mind.

It all came back to the same thing.

He absolutely could not fall for Lin Xuan's tricks.

"Lin Xuan, I won't believe you," Lin Li said again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me," Lin Xuan said, curling his lips into a smirk. "Very soon, you'll have no choice but to believe it."

Lin Xuan walked over to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs casually.

For some reason, Lin Li no longer wanted to stay in this office.

"Lin Xuan."

Lin Li gritted his teeth and said, "I have things to do, so I won't entertain you any longer."

Lin Li prepared to leave.

Lin Xuan made a hand gesture.

The bodyguards Lin Xuan had brought immediately blocked Lin Li's path.

"Lin Li, the show isn't over yet. Besides, you're the main character in this play. How can you leave so soon?"

"Just stay right here and wait for the good show to unfold."

Lin Li ground his teeth. "Lin Xuan, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lin Xuan glanced at the time.

"Three more minutes," he said.

Lin Li furrowed his brows.

What three minutes?

Seeing the confusion on Lin Li's face, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and explained faintly, "Three minutes. I mean you only have three more minutes to enjoy the joy of your success."

"After three minutes, you will completely plummet into the abyss. You will never be able to climb back up again."

Lin Li crossed his arms over his chest and sneered. "Fine, Lin Xuan. I'll wait another three minutes. I'd really like to see how you make me fall into the abyss after three minutes."

Lin Xuan said, "Two minutes left."

Lei Hui sat up straight and said excitedly, "I'm about to see a great show. I'm so thrilled."

Butler Wang nodded heavily.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next thing would be the exposure of the fake medicine from Lin Li's company.

This Lin Li was completely finished.

He had to admit, Young Master Lin was truly ruthless—letting Lin Li stand at the very peak, only to make him fall so hard.

Having tasted success, once he failed, Lin Li would probably wish he were dead.

Time ticked away, minute by minute, second by second.

Lin Li kept his eyes glued to his watch.

He lowered his watch.

Lin Li spread his hands and let out a cold laugh. "Lin Xuan, the three minutes are up. Look, absolutely nothing has happened to me."

"What else do you have to say now?"

It was exactly as he had thought.

Lin Xuan was just being an alarmist.

Even he was almost bluffed by Lin Xuan.

Hearing Lin Li's triumphant words, Lin Xuan merely smiled and said nothing.

"Bang!"

The door to Lin Li's office was pushed open.

An employee of Shengshi Pharmaceuticals rushed in, looking extremely panicked.

Lin Xuan's bodyguards did not stop him.

"Chairman, this is bad."

The employee said in a panic.

Lin Li frowned deeply. "What happened?"

"Something happened with our company's medicine," the employee said.

"What?"

Lin Li's eyes widened.

He instantly looked toward Lin Xuan, only to see that Lin Xuan's expression was very calm, giving off the feeling that everything was entirely within his control.

Could it really be as Lin Xuan had said? Was Lei Liming just a fraud who deceived the public to gain a reputation?

"What went wrong with our medicine?" Lin Li asked through gritted teeth.

"Chairman, whether it's our specific drug for stomach cancer, the medicine for the epidemic, or the preventive vaccines, none of them are effective."

"The main reason patients showed signs of improvement after taking our medicine is that our company's drugs contain banned substances."

The employee lowered his head and answered trembling, "Now everyone is denouncing us, and the people who bought our stomach cancer drug are clamoring for a refund."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had worked for quite a few companies, but this was the first time he had seen a company crash and burn so spectacularly.

He had also heard that the Chairman had invested all the money from the sales of the stomach cancer drug into the production of the epidemic medicine and vaccines.

This time, the company would probably lose every last penny.

There was even a high probability that the company would go bankrupt.

"How could they really be fake medicines?" Lin Li's face turned pale.

"Fake, this must be fake!"

"Did you read some fake news somewhere?"

"Speak!"

When Lin Li looked at the employee, his gaze was dark and terrifying to the extreme.

"Chairman," the employee replied, "someone sent the medicine produced by our company to an authoritative institution for testing."

"Many patients who took our stomach cancer drug, along with their families, have stepped forward one after another to condemn us."

"Also, it's been exposed that Lei Liming is a scammer. He was fired from his previous company because he was caught committing fraud."

Even though the employee had already seen the news online beforehand, telling Lin Li about it still felt like acting in a play.

Their Chairman had actually believed the words of a scammer just like that.

And he had believed so deeply in the drugs developed by a scammer that he had invested his entire net worth into it.

Just thinking about it felt surreal.

"Chairman, if you don't believe it, you can go online and check for yourself," the employee added.

Lin Li, his face pale, ordered, "Give me your phone."

"Hurry up!"

He needed to verify it. This employee was definitely lying to him.

If this matter had blown up online, it would definitely be in the top three trending topics on Weibo.

As long as it wasn't in the top three trending topics, it was fake.

As for why this employee would lie to him, it had to be because he had been bought off by Lin Xuan to join forces and deceive him!

The employee was worried that if Lin Li saw the news online, he would smash his phone.

Given the company's current situation, there was a high probability it would go bankrupt and close down.

Moreover, their Chairman's entire net worth was tied up in this.

If his phone got smashed, the Chairman might not even have the money to compensate him.

If that happened, he would lose a phone for nothing. His phone was an Apple phone, which he had spent six or seven thousand yuan to buy.

"Chairman, I happen to not have my phone with me."

The employee suggested, "Don't you have a phone? Why don't you just use your own phone to check?"
