Chapter 69 Next Stop, Zhang Family River!

  Looking at Shangguan Shi's somewhat worshipful gaze, Wang Zhong smiled: "Actually, everyone has their own life, and many things are predetermined. Just like you're destined to be a young lady, while many people are destined to spend their entire lives in their village. Being human is really simple; just cherish the present, because you never know when you'll lose everything you have now."

  Wang Zhong had experienced those shocking and thrilling events that could fill up millions of records, but speaking out would only make Shangguan Po more admiring. However, he didn't have any thoughts of conquering the young lady from a wealthy family in front of him now.

  The former captain of the Dragon Scales, the former Eastern Wicked King, those smiling faces that flowed with sweat, and those epaulets filled with sacredness and camouflage, either already far away or already sealed in the heart.

  Once majestic and turbulent, now the waves are no longer surging.

  Shangguan Shishi's face turned somewhat gloomy upon hearing the words, and she nodded silently, perhaps thinking of her father who lay in a deep sleep in the sanatorium.

  "I think if you wrote an autobiography, it would definitely be a bestseller." Shangguan Shi suddenly lit up: "And I can let the film company under Jù Róng International adapt your story into a script and have you star as the male lead. What do you think?"

  Shangguan Shi's eyes sparkled with interest, clearly very enthusiastic about this matter.

  Wang Zhong rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Fine, the name is 'The Happy Life of a Bodyguard', and it's about a small bodyguard being bullied by three young ladies all day."

  Shangguan Shishi was splashed with a cold water: "You don't want to take pictures, that's fine, but you're not just a little bodyguard, you're a super bodyguard."

  Wang Zhong didn't pick up on this, he really wasn't interested in making movies and the like, because he understood that no one, not even a director, could capture the passionate emotions of those war-torn years, the most ordinary yet moving things, which weren't something the audience could appreciate. Those things, some scattered with the wind, others becoming increasingly clear, were simply impossible to describe.

  But then Wang Zhong said something that made Shangguan Shi excited beyond words.

  "The medicine is ready."

  Shangguan Shi smelled the pungent medicinal scent and said, "Quickly serve it to them, Wang Zheng. If this can cure their illness, I will..."

  Shangguan Shishi only realized her own linguistic flaws at this point, and indeed she had nothing to offer Wang Zhong - money? Or fame? He seemed not to care about these things, nor was he lacking in them. But having said that, Shangguan Shishi also made a mistake earlier, for she really didn't know what Wang Zhong needed, nor did she understand why someone as skilled as him would be willing to serve as her small bodyguard.

  "What's with you?" Wang Zhong turned his face, saying with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Are you offering yourself to me? With your figure, I'll have to think carefully about it."

  "Get out." Shangguan Shi gave Wang Zheng a slap, but instead of getting angry, he laughed and said: "Hurry up and deliver them to those patients, Juren is counting on you this time."

  When those poisoned consumers drank the bitter medicine with a frown, Wang Zheng patted his hand and said to the old expert who was full of suspicion: "It will take effect within an hour."

  The old expert really couldn't believe that the result of his joint consultation with so many experienced specialist doctors would be able to clear out several toxins within a week at the earliest, and if it was said that he could detoxify in an hour, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.

  However, looking at Shangguan Shi's confident gaze, the old expert swallowed his words.

  But miracles really happened.

  The old man's ancient recipe really worked for Wang Zhen, and in less than an hour, the patient started vomiting and having diarrhea again. However, this time the vomit was clearly different from before, with a dark red sticky substance, perhaps this was the effect of the detoxification soup.

  Half an hour later, most of the patients began to recover from their fever one after another. Those few comatose severe poisoning patients also started to wake up one by one and vomit violently after being force-fed with detoxification medicine.

  Three hours later, all the patients had fully recovered. Most of them had regained their appetite and vomited for a whole day, at this time the feeling of hunger spread throughout their bodies, but according to the old expert's instructions, Shang Guanshi still didn't dare give them any big fish or meat, these people's intestines and stomachs couldn't withstand such turmoil at present, so they just ate plain porridge, small dishes, steamed buns, and noodles, which they devoured with relish.

  Especially those few kids, everything is normal, and several parents finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  "This is a miracle, it's really a miracle." The old expert looked at the patients' conditions and sighed to Wang Zhong: "It seems that what our ancestors passed down is useful after all. In recent years, I have been somewhat abandoning the basics and pursuing superficialities."

  Wang Zhong smiled: "But it's also hard to say, many things in traditional Chinese medicine are not supported by science, no better than Western medicine."

  Those consumers finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the symptoms of poisoning disappear, especially after receiving the news that Shangguan Shi would compensate each of them 200,000 yuan and bear all their children's tuition fees for future studies. Their mood improved significantly, and there was no longer any abusive language or loud quarrels as at the beginning.

  After all, there are still more kind people in this world, and those who take advantage of the situation to make a profit are a minority among minorities.

  "Assistant Wei, hold a press conference immediately. You're in charge of hosting it and conveying the current physical condition of the patients and our comfort measures to the public in real-time." Shangguan Shi said solemnly, suppressing her own excitement as she saw that the situation on site was under control.

  "Good, those reporters are already in the meeting room." Wei Wentao smiled and said, apparently, the group's risk was temporarily lifted, which also improved his mood as the first assistant.

  "Oh?" Shangguan Shi was surprised: "When did you inform me?"

  Wei Wentao glanced at his watch and smiled: "An hour ago."

  Wang Zhong couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, this Wei Wentao was indeed worthy of the Upper Official's favor for many years, he had truly mastered every detail, as an assistant to the president, he had already reached a level that was almost demonic.

  "What will happen next is still unknown, but once things are settled here, I'll immediately go to the supplier's place. As long as there's a clue, it will be found." Shangguan Shi said solemnly.

  "How can you be certain that the problem is definitely from the supplier? Why not the distributor? Even the water purifier could have been tampered with during transportation." Wang Zheng asked, slightly curious.

  "It's impossible." Officer Shi was very certain: "Perhaps you don't understand the Meihua water purifier, but I do. Why the Meihua water purifier is two thousand yuan more expensive than other brands has nothing to do with the brand, it's because there are chips inside the water purifier."

  "What's this 'chip'?" Wang Zhong said: "This is really strange."

  "Of course, but it's the simplest kind." Shang Guan Shi said: "For entrepreneurs, product quality is a matter of life and death, absolutely cannot be careless. In the past, Ju Rong International had paid the price for this aspect, so in recent years, we have become more and more cautious."

  "The reason for the chip is that after packaging and leaving the factory, without a dynamic password, the product cannot be moved out without damaging the packaging, let alone opening the machine to replace the filter through the chip's password lock, because this small filter contains 19 patented items."

  "The filter core is a consumable, replaced once every five years, and must be replaced at the designated customer service point of the manufacturer, requiring a dynamic password in real-time. Even distributors are not allowed to intervene. Zhaoli is a large enterprise that produces filter cores in Zhangjiakou, Nanjiang, and its products almost monopolize the entire Chinese market and half of the European market, doing a great job in protecting its own products."

  Wang Zhong smacked his lips: "Really mysterious."

  Shangguan Shi continued to analyze: "Zhao Li's logistics are done by themselves, which almost eliminates the possibility of replacing the filter core during transportation. Moreover, Juru International will keep an eye on these upstream suppliers and absolutely not allow them to make any mistakes. So, this time, it should be that the filter core was replaced before leaving the factory. If nothing unexpected happens, the problem lies within Zhao Li's company."

  "More brilliant than cracking a case, you can go to the criminal police team and be a female detective." Wang Zhen said with a smile. He really admired Shangguan Shi's ability, which seemed to have inherited her father's super business mind. It was not easy to complete such a detailed analysis in such a short time, even Wang Zhen, who was becoming more and more sinister, felt inferior.

  "Don't flatter me." Shangguan Shi smiled and continued, "At Zhao Li Company, all the filter cores are installed automatically. After the installation of the filter core is completed, they will be sent to Mei Huan for assembly. The number of people in charge of product quality and the inspection department is not large, so it should be relatively easy to investigate."

  "Could it be that someone tampered with the automated installation?" Wang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "And what if Chao Li's upstream component supplier also has problems? The entire supply chain is linked together, no one can completely rule out any one link."

  Wang Zhong continued to analyze: "Moreover, if someone can use some high-tech means to forcibly break through the chip's lock? I think this point should not be ruled out, after all, the other party's goal is Jufeng International, a giant, and may also be able to mobilize some powerful means."

  Shangguan Shishi thought for a moment and said, "The probability is indeed low, but if it's really like that, then it would be like finding a needle in the ocean. Hopefully not."

  For some reason, Wang Zhong suddenly remembered that the cosmetics used by Sheng Fei were also bought at a specialty counter, but someone had secretly mixed in an anesthetic, and this case still has no leads.

  A chill suddenly enveloped Wang Zheng's mind.

  Today, I took a long-distance bus and accidentally bumped my head on the top of the car. My whole brain hurt for the entire day, and I got a big bump. Now I'm still dizzy, and I think I might have a slight concussion. It's really embarrassing. But since I'm tall, I've gotten used to being bumped around. From now on, I need to be more careful and not let my family or wife worry.
