Chapter 183: Cough

Translator: Lordbluefire 

The number of people viewing the live stream grew and was about to reach 10 million.

At this moment, the staff at the side rushed over to her and took out a heat dispersal pill. “Miss Yan, the corpse is now highly decomposed and has become the best hatching bed for infectious disease. Since you just came in contact with the corpse, you are definitely infected. You have to immediately eat the heat dispersal pill.”

Yan Zijing took the pill from the staff. After that, she smiled and ruthlessly tossed it onto the ground before stomping it with her foot.

“What heat dispersal pill? This is clearly a scheme of the Chu Corporation. My elder brother was beaten to death, yet they wanted to lie to the whole world, saying that his death was caused by a transmissible disease. And just so coincidentally, the Chu Corporation has the necessary medicine to treat this ‘virus’? All the coincidences truly amaze me!”

She directly looked at the stream. “I will never eat any medicine from the Chu Corporation. In the next few days, I’m going to show everyone the true face of the Chu Corporation!”

Some of the staff wanted to snatch her phone away, but Yan Zijing directly evaded them and shouted.

“I have the right to free speech. You guys, don’t think about controlling me!

“Friends, watch this closely. If my live stream is disrupted, it means that the Chu Corporation is the one responsible! This would also mean that they are corrupted!

“If my phone is seized, it also means that they are corrupted!”

After Yan Zijing said this, those who wanted to snatch her phone no longer dared to do so.

Yan Zihao was cremated and Madam Yan was on the scene. She was originally stopped outside and not allowed near the body for fear of infection. But at this moment, she rushed over and cried loudly, “Everyone, I want justice. I can’t let my son die such an unclear death!”

The weaker party would always cause others to sympathize with them.

Although Yan Zijing was involved in the fake singing incident, at this moment, her elder brother had died and she was crying pitifully, so the public was hoodwinked by her once again.

For a time, this matter spread wildly on the internet, and more and more unkind comments about the Chu Corporation appeared.

As a result, the popularity of heat dispersal pills gradually declined.

The number of people queuing outside the Chu Corporation’s hospital also slowly lessened.

After the heat dispersal pills were on the shelves of the Dongye Pharmacy, their sales didn’t even reach a thousand. Because of this, tens of thousands of pills were stuck in their warehouse and for a time, Li Dongye was reproached and reprimanded by several elders of his family.

Shen Ruojing frowned as she read the news.

Ye Lu sent over a message again. [The transmissible disease hasn’t spread yet, so the heat dispersal pills can’t be sold. But now, Yan Zijing is giving us free advertisements by courting disaster. After all, there has only been one case of the transmissible disease, and everyone feels that this is staged by the Chu Corporation. But in this world, the only family that will absolutely not cooperate with the Chus is the Yans! They are truly wonderful helpers!]

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled into a smile.

She wasn’t a saint. Since Yan Zijing wanted to court death, what had it got to do with her?

Shen Ruojing then put her phone down and came to Leng Ling’s room, but she immediately saw Dugu Xiao bringing the butler there. The butler had a look of rage on his face.

The butler quickly spoke, “We just did an investigation. Miss Leng Ling was the one who released Yan Zijing and this caused the live-streaming incident. Don’t worry Miss Shen, my master will definitely give you a good explanation.”

The butler’s eyes gleamed.

Leng Ling had always been acting way too tyrannical, and the butler had long since been displeased by her behavior. So he was happy now that he could use the divine doctor to suppress Leng Ling.

However, Shen Ruojing frowned. Just when she wanted to say something, Leng Ling’s door opened with a creak. She coldly stood there and her icy gaze didn’t bother looking at Shen Ruojing. She directly looked at Dugu Xiao. “Beat me to death or I’ll never stop trying to kill her!”

Shen Ruojing. “??”

She soon realized what was happening. In the past, Leng Ling had always been viewing her with hostility. If her attitude suddenly changed, Dugu Xiao would definitely be suspicious.

She lowered her eyelids and silently sighed.

Little Leng Ling had always been a straightforward individual that said whatever she thought of. Now, she was actually changing her style due to her.

As expected, Dugu Xiao didn’t say anything. He looked into Shen Ruojing’s eyes before speaking to Leng Ling. “Carry weights and do cross-country running for 30 miles!”

After speaking, he saw her pale face, and an evil smile appeared on Dugu Xiao’s lips. “You can finish that run in five days. Don’t faint to escape the punishment.”

Leng Ling didn’t say anything. She simply turned and slammed her door shut.

Dugu Xiao looked at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, are you satisfied with this punishment?”

(Naturally not!)

(Five days later, her wounds will be scabbed. What happens if her wounds open again because of the run?!)

Shen Ruojing didn’t reply to that. She turned and left. “I will come and supervise her punishment five days later.”

It seemed that she had to think of a solution to snatch Leng Ling away from Dugu Xiao.

Otherwise, Little Leng Ling’s body would not be able to withstand these punishments.

The sky was dark when she left Dugu Xiao’s villa.

Shen Ruojing wore her helmet and rode her motorbike into the streets of Sea City. The sides of the road were lit by lamps with yellow light. But at this moment, her expression was tense as she thought about Leng Ling’s back view.

Very soon, she arrived at the Chu Manor.

Just as she entered, she heard Chu Tianye doing homework. He was supposed to use the word ‘autumn’ in a sentence.

“Autumn is here, so the leaves are yellow. The gold pieces of our family drop from the trees as they rustle in the wind.”

After Chu Tianye finished saying this, Chu Xiaomeng spoke in a soft tone, “Brother, our teacher asked you to form sentences and not lie.”

Chu Tianye shook his head. “I’m not lying!”

Chu Yu said, “The trees in our estate have no gold pieces.”

“Why not? The trees here are worth millions. Are their leaves not considered gold pieces?” Chu Tianye felt heartache. His money-grubbing nature was exposed. “I wonder if those fallen leaves could be sold for money?”

“…” Shen Ruojing was speechless as she looked at him.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps from outside the door rang out, and a tall figure appeared behind her, blocking the moonlight.

Shen Ruojing turned and saw Chu Cichen, who had not returned for many days, actually come back home. He had a tall figure and didn’t look fatigued from working overtime. He resembled a sword and his sharp eyes slowly turned warm as he looked at her back view.

Shen Ruojing suddenly spoke, “Are you afraid?”

Chu Cichen’s voice was filled with puzzlement. “What do you mean?”

“Are you afraid that there is no transmissible disease and the Chu Corporation would be bankrupt?”

Chu Cichen stared at her and his phoenix eyes reflected the moonlight. “I believe you.”

These three words caused Shen Ruojing’s lips to curl into a smile. “In at most three days, Yan Zijing will show some symptoms of being infected.”

“Okay.”

–

Yan Zijing’s stream was observed by millions of people at every moment.

The commotion caused by so many people was so great to the extent that even the Weibo authorities didn’t dare to block her broadcast. Captain Cui also didn’t take any action against her.

Tonight, Yan Zijing and Madam Yan returned to their home.

Before sleeping, Yan Zijing spoke to the audience, “Me and my elder brother had such close contact. Since the virus is supposed to be very contagious, I’m sure I am already infected. If an outbreak occurs, the quickest I’ll show symptoms would be tomorrow, right? I’m really anticipating that!”

She was speaking the contrary. After saying all that, she finally lay down to rest.

In a certain residential building in Sea City, the reporter Xiao Lu was told by her editor-in-chief to pay close attention to Yan Zijing all the time as there might be big news at any moment.

However, Xiao Lu didn’t believe in the existence of the transmissible disease.

Although she would often watch movies with the apocalyptic theme, and she really liked the movie [Flu], these things had never happened in real life before. Hence, she always felt that such things were next to impossible.

Even so, she would do her job well and watch the live stream intently.

The TV was showing the news report that said – if you have any fever or cough symptoms, please remember to eat the heat dispersal pills. The Chu Corporation’s official website also wrote that symptoms would appear soon after you got infected and the symptoms would worsen three days later.

If Yan Zijing was still well tomorrow, she would be able to write an article to mock the Chu Corporation.

Xiao Lu was thinking of this as she lay down to watch Yan Zijing’s live stream.

At dawn.

When Xiao Lu was still dreaming, she was suddenly awoken by the sound of intense coughing.

For an instant, she forgot where she was. Why would there be the sound of coughing in her room? She was staying alone after all. Could there be a thief?

Xiao Lu sat up abruptly and woke up.

Only then did she discover that the cough earlier was actually from the live stream…
