Chapter 69 The Pharmacological Effect of The Medicine
Zachary let the man sit down. Then, he took a small piece of the paste made by him and rolled it into the shape of a pill. He handed it to Jimmy, "Please feed him. I don't want you to deny your defeat later." "Sure!" Jimmy sneered and picked up Zachary's pill. He walked to the thin man confidently and fed it to the man.
"How do you feel? Tell us now."
The man's expression began to change. He said shockingly, "My body feels a little hot, especially my legs."
"What's more?"
The man kept silent. In the end, he shook his head, "It's just a little hot. There is nothing else."
"Is that all? Don't lie to us!" Jimmy shouted.
The thin man shook his head, "It's just a little hot. I thought it could cure my legs, but it can't. Alas!" The man's body trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
Jimmy looked at Zachary with a mocking smile, "Do you want to come over and check on this patient? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't admit your defeat later!"
Zachary shook his head with a dark expression. He didn't say anything.
In the eyes of the reporters, it seemed that Zachary had admitted defeat. The reporters took a close-up shot of Zachary. Many of them had already made the drafts and headlines for the news.
"Is he a young talent or a quack doctor? The truth has been revealed!"
"The tricks of the quack doctor have been exposed by an on-site competition!"
"It's our turn now," Jimmy smiled proudly, walking towards an old lady in a wheelchair, and said, "I'll choose this patient. I can assure you that she'll be able to walk after taking the Ludington Refining Ointment." "That's amazing!" There was a sudden exclamation around.
Everyone could see that the muscles of the old lady's legs had seriously degenerated. Perhaps she could recover if she took medicine for a long period of time and had regular massages. However, no one believed that she could walk immediately.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Jimmy was extremely smug. He handed the pill to Zachary and laughed, "I'll leave it to you to feed the patient."
Zachary took the pill and looked at it carefully. He even gave it to the reporters to examine it carefully to show that he didn't do anything to the pill. Finally, he walked to the old lady in the wheelchair and smiled, "Madam, please open your mouth now. I'm going to feed you the medicine."
The old lady opened her mouth tremblingly. Zachary flicked his hand slightly and threw the pill into the old lady's mouth. He fed her with plain water and asked with a smile, "Madam, how do you feel?"
The old lady's body was trembling. "My legs are a little hot!"
"Is that all?" Zachary said.
"No, it's more than that." The old lady said surprisingly, "I feel like there is a stream of Qi running through my legs."
"Really?"
"Yes!" The old lady nodded and said in shock, "My legs seem to have some energy now."
"Madam, please don't be in a hurry. Take your time. I'll help you to see if you can stand up," Jimmy came over with a smile.
The old lady stretched out her hands and she stood up slowly from the wheelchair with the help of Jimmy. After that, she took a few steps forward.
"Madam, I'll let go of your hand now. You can try to walk on your own," Jimmy let go of her hand slowly.
The old lady almost lost her balance for a moment, but she stood firm in the end. She even staggered two steps forward.
The reporters below the stage were all stunned by the magical effect. A patient who was almost paralyzed could walk on their own in less than five minutes after taking the medicine!
The reporters flashed their cameras excitedly at the old lady.
Simon, Alan, and Jimmy were all smiling proudly, sure that they had victory in their hands.
Fabian, who was once humiliated by Zachary because of Vanessa, couldn't help but satirize, "Zachary, what else do you have to say? You were so good at bluffing just now. Why don't you say anything now after losing the competition?" Vincent joined Fabian in mocking Zachary as well, "I think he is shocked by the effect of our refining ointment. He doesn't know what to do with his inferior product now."
Zachary remained indifferent to the insults. He stood still on his spot, looking as if he was stunned. Even some reporters who were good friends of Lauren could not help shaking their heads at this moment.
Wonderzac Group had completely lost. It seemed that it would go bankrupt before the business even started.
Lauren looked at Zachary quietly. Although she was anxious, she was more curious at this moment. She had personally witnessed the miracle effect of the refining ointment. She also knew that his medical skills were excellent. It was impossible for him to lose to a quack like Jimmy.
"Mr. Ching, do you have anything to say about the result of the competition? Can you explain what you said earlier?" A reporter asked.
"Mr. Ching, judging from the result, it seems that you and the Wonderzac Group are not as amazing as you described. Is your formula a copy of Ludington Refining Ointment?" The reporter asked aggressively.
...
In an instant, the reporters were condemning Zachary and Wonderzac Group.
Zachary didn't say a word, he merely looked at them coldly. Then, he opened his right hand slowly and showed it to the cameras of the reporters when they had finally quietened down.
"This is..." Some reporters were puzzled.
Someone realized something unusual soon. "This... is the pill that Mr. Yan gave Mr. Ching just now. I've compared it with the image we took. It is indeed the same pill."
"What's going on?"
Zachary gestured to the reporters to calm down. He said coldly, "I believe you have seen that I didn't feed the patient with Ludington Refining Ointment. What I gave her was just normal chocolate, but she was cured magically. I think you don't need me to explain why this occurred."
He turned over his left hand, revealing a few small chocolate chips as he spoke. It was really similar to the pill at one glance.
The reporters were all smart people. They figured it out soon.
"The product from Huang Group and Ludington Medical College is a knock-off product. These so-called patients were hired by them. They will claim the medicine from Wonderzac Group to be ineffective no matter what. They will pretend to be cured by Ludington Refining Ointment instead."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Instantly, Simon and the others were drowned by the questions from the reporters. The smiles on their faces were wiped off and replaced by a stone-cold expression.
Jimmy was cornered. He shouted to Zachary, "Nonsense! We didn't lie. Otherwise, how can you explain the situation of these patients?"
After hearing Jimmy, some people were really confused. These patients were slender and their muscles had degenerated indeed. They looked weak. Anyone who wanted to examine them would find that their muscles were really loose. They didn't seem to be pretending at all.
