After uploading the two videos, Mu Taotao bit onto the straw in her yogurt bottle and typed some words, saying that she had the feeling that Peng Yanzhi and Zhang Ruomin were putting on an act! She then drew the link between how Zhang Ruomin failed in her proposal to Fu Huai’an and how Lin Nuan was Fu Huai’an’s wife now, concluding that the whole thing felt strange!

After she was done uploading all of that, Mu Taotao felt that she had done a good deed.

Lin Nuan exited from that nonsensical stuff and tapped on Liu Mingchen, the third most widely searched topic on Weibo.

With the truth of Liu Mingchen manufacturing and selling fake medicine exposed, hoards of patients who were consuming the substitute that was much cheaper than Abinoque gathered at the detention center’s entrance, asking to bail out Liu Mingchen.

Watching as the people gathered before the detention center increased in number, armed police were dispatched, fearing a riot might arise.

Previously, they had been taking this much cheaper substitute drug for Abinoque, but they had never once thought about who had created it!

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Liu Mingchen!

Liu Mingchen’s students responded quickly, rapidly exposing the truth about Liu Mingchen manufacturing and selling fake medicine on the internet.

Liu Mingchen’s students said they had been staying quiet because they were waiting for an opportunity, and today, that opportunity finally arrived!

A student claimed to have personally seen how Liu Mingchen toiled day and night to manufacture a drug that was more effective than Abinoque, one that was cheaper and didn’t create any dependencies. He forked out money from his own pocket to pay wages to his students and workers! The new drug’s selling price was exactly the same as what it cost to make it!

Liu Mingchen was a person who had a big, caring heart for humanity. His research was never so that he could make lots of money and achieve fame. He carried out his research to benefit more people, which was why he carried it out in secret. What broke his heart was that some patients thought that the new version of Abinoque was inferior to the older version. In order to obtain a lifetime of the old Abinoque, someone had betrayed the workers who were selling the drug, which in turn implicated Liu Mingchen’s factory and Liu Mingchen himself.

As Lin Nuan had expected, this matter very quickly became a hot topic!

Liu Mingchen’s name was tied together with Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s, and it very quickly became the most hotly searched topic on Weibo.

Lin Nuan retweeted the Weibo post posted by Liu Mingchen’s student using her personal Weibo account…

[@Lin Nuan: Everyone close to Brother Mingchen knows his character well and certainly believes in him! I hope the relevant departments can reflect on themselves. Why would the pride of our nation need to be forced to this point in his attempt to save people! I hope more attention can be called to this topic and that this matter can be appropriately solved!]

Very quickly, many celebrities retweeted Lin Nuan’s Weibo post. Even the celebrities who had been to the set of “Talking with Lin Nuan” that day retweeted the post.

Those same people, however, didn’t retweet the Weibo post of Peng Yanzhi apologizing, retweeting the Weibo post by Lin Nuan instead. This hint at who was in the right and wrong at the recording studio didn’t escape the sharp eyes of some smart people.

Lin Nuan locked her phone screen. After her meeting with Liu Mingchen, there was a lingering feeling of guilt in Lin Nuan’s heart. Finally, she could feel her heart lighten.

…

That day at three in the afternoon, Liu Mingchen was released from the detention center. He got into his family’s car under the watchful eyes of many patients.

The matter still ended up blowing up, completely out of the control of Liu Mingchen’s father.

In the car, Liu Mingchen’s father gazed at the patients who were holding up a banner thanking Liu Mingchen, then sighed out loud and shook his head. “It’s taboo to clash with others. God knows how many people’s interests are implicated in Abinoque’s matter in the dark! Oh, you!”

Liu Mingchen’s father was angry and, at the same time, devoid of strength, his head aching to the max. “You won’t let the matter rest until you end up suffering from this!”

“Your mother and I only have one son, and that’s you. Say, if something happens to you, what are your mother and I to do?”

“Liu Mingchen, put yourself in our shoes. If today, the implicated one was your mother or me, would you still have insisted on blowing this matter up? Blowing this matter up doesn’t do you any good… It also doesn’t do our family any good!”

“Our family’s chain restaurants are already being investigated, and the dyeing mill and washing factory are also being investigated. Once our family’s restaurants and factories are ordered to shut down, what are our more than a thousand employees to do? All of them have a family to feed. Are you asking them to live on air? Or are you planning to drive them toward death?”

Liu Mingchen gazed at the withering trees outside the car and listened to his father’s speech, his mind blanking out momentarily. He had been insisting on doing something he thought was right…

But it seemed that what he thought was right, others didn’t necessarily agree was right, such as his father!

While Liu Mingchen was in the detention center, he sorted out his thinking about many things. For instance, although his father didn’t approve of his actions, he also knew that what he did was right!

If someone else were to have done this, Liu Mingchen’s father likely would have clapped and cheered, even giving that person the sponsorship they needed or helping them out!

However, when the person in question was Liu Mingchen, Liu Mingchen’s father first had to consider his son’s safety and reputation. He had to consider what should be done so his son could not be harmed, even if it meant giving up on what he thought was a righteous act!

Liu Mingchen seemed to be able to understand how Lin Nuan felt when she rejected his request then.

Lin Nuan loved Fu Huai’an, and perhaps this love was carved into her bones! She viewed Fu Huai’an as being more important than anything else in the world, even more so than her own safety, than her own dreams!

The days in the detention center weren’t in the least bit comfortable, so Liu Mingchen had become a lot thinner. His cheeks were sunken, and every part of him carried a sense of fatigue.

Liu Mingchen’s mother, Lu Mei, stood at the entrance of their home, bracing herself against the cold wind to welcome her son back home!

Lu Mei’s nose had turned red from standing in the chilly air, and her hands were as cold as rocks. Yet she refused to heed the housekeeper’s advice to wait for Liu Mingchen inside the house.

The minute that Liu Mingchen got out of the car, Lu Mei couldn’t hold back her tears. She rushed over to hug Liu Mingchen, sobbing out loud.

Having not bathed properly for days, Liu Mingchen smiled and held Lu Mei’s shoulders to push her away, saying he wanted to shower.

Lu Mei constantly nodded, holding Liu Mingchen’s hand as they walked into the house. She said that she had prepared his favorite dishes, and he could eat right after taking a shower.

Liu Mingchen looked at his mother, feeling the warmth of family, his eyes tearing up. He eventually averted his gaze and went up the stairs.

After getting out of the shower, Liu Mingchen sat on the edge of his bed, his mind blanking out momentarily.

He held a towel that was meant for wiping his hair dry in his hands, yet he merely sat there as the water droplets from his wet black hair dripped down…

After a long while, Liu Mingchen dialed Lin Nuan’s number.

The call went through. The instant Liu Mingchen heard Lin Nuan’s voice, all of the words he had prepared to say got stuck in his throat. His Adam’s apple glided up and down, yet no words came out.

“Brother Mingchen?” Lin Nuan called out Liu Mingchen’s name once more.

Liu Mingchen’s brows furrowed. He lowered his gaze and swallowed his saliva with difficulty before saying, “I’m very sorry. Previously, at the detention center… I shouldn’t have forced you! I didn’t understand your feelings then, but today, looking at my parents, I’m able to understand how you felt!”
