Once Chase finished speaking, everyone's face was written with a hint of astonishment.
Where was the new product?
What on earth happened the previous evening?
The reporters had sworn on their conscience and had given their words. Its credibility seemedunquestionable.
At this moment, the people from the Song family and Alfred had frozen to the spot.
Like an unbeatable centipede, it seemed that Chase was not going to back down at this moment.
Up till this point, he was showing no signs of giving in.
What on earth was he trying to do?
A sense of uneasiness enveloped them.
The scene when they were humiliated by Chase a while ago reappeared in their minds again.
What was going to happen next..
Everyone was looking at the reporters down the stage.
The reporter who had been looking solemn all the while suddenly had their lips curt into a gratifying smile at that moment.
"So, Chate, is this the time you're waiting for?
A middle-aged woman in a black suit stood up.
She slowly walked up the stage and stood beside Chase with everyone watching her.
When the crowd finally recognized her, they immediately shouted out.
"Is she Rainie Xie, the famous reporter of Golden City from the Social Survey? Why does she go up the stage?"
A man added, "Word has it that Rainie is a righteous reporter. She hates unjust matters and prejudices so much. She has exposed many social scandals. She is even given a nickname, the Righteous Xie. Is she going to reveal another scandal today?
Rainie cleared her throat and said with a smile, "I was holding back for such a long time. I will explain all the questions that were directed to Chase just now one by one for everyone."
She looked at the crowd and continued, "I swear on my conscience as a reporter that every word of mine is true!"
Her last sentence was powerful.
"Please watch this video first. Sigh, I'm really embarrassed to show you guys this. Like all of you, when I received the invitation from the Helping Hands Medical Center, I thought they were going to bribe us. Hence, I secretly shot this video while I was there. You guys will understand what I mean after watching A video clip."
A video was played on the LED screen.
The video showed a bunch of reporters gathering in the Helping Hands Medical Center. Standing right in front of them was none other than Chase.
It was a 2-minute video. After watching it, everyone's eyes widened.
Even Chloe's jaw dropped in surprise. Disbelief spread across her face.
Oh my goodnes!
Another plot twist!
From the video, everyone could tell thatChase was obviously flattering the hundred female reporters whom he had invited.
However, the way he tried to please them was not through money nor gifts.
Instead, he gave each of them a bottle of ointment.
He was giving the 100 bottles of newly produced ointment to these female reporters!
He wanted them to try the new ointment.
He let these reporters, who would represent the public's voice of justice, try and experience their ointment.
This twist made everyone at the scene wordless.
Chase never bribed them nor tried tomislead the public.
Before they left, Chase told them, "Therefore, when the time comes, please put in a good word for us. Tell others the effects of this ointment we produce. When I need your help, please make sure that you tell them the truth."
After watching the video, Rainie couldn't help feeling bitter too.
The previous day, when she received a phone call from the Helping Hands Medical Center, she despised the clinic so much.
She even thought of exposing their ugly side in public during the press conference.
However, when she heard Chase's words, she was totally flabbergasted.
How arrogant he was!
How confident was he in his ointment?
Let's not talk about the efficiency of this ointment first.
Even if it was very effective, there were a hundred reporters whom he had invited.
If one of them wrote something bad about the clinic, it would be enough to destroy the Helping Hands Medical Center!
He even requested them to put in a good word for the clinic and to speak the truth.
With this thought in her mind, Rainie decided to try on the ointment given by Chase.
After she had put on the ointment, she felt that she could never live without it.
As a reporter, she often had to stay up late, thus her skin condition was very bad.
Nevertheless, after taking this ointment, it made her feel like she had regained her youth.
It took her almost the whole morning to get used to the long-lost smoothness of her skin.
This magic ointment deserved to be known.
Right in front of them was a villain who tried to defame the Helping Hands Medical Center. Their intentions were clearly malicious.
How dare they look down on her? Had they forgotten her nickname? She was the Righteous Xie?
"So, as you have watched, the Helping Hands Medical Center does not bride us. Instead, they're the ones who prove to us how a selfless doctor looks like and let us, the reporters test the ointment ourselves. Even! feel ashamed for my biases and judgment before knowing the truth," Rainie continued with a smile. "Have any of you ever thought about the consequences of asking the reporters to test your own product?"
The crowd burst into an uproar.
"Yes, the Helping Hands Medical Center didn't bribe us to misdirect the public. Besides, they have employed a strategy that none of the pharmaceutical companies dare to do. That is to face the reporters directly!"
"Please remember that all pharmaceutical companies always try to stay away from reporters because they are afraid that their dirty tricks would be exposed. The Helping Hands Medical Center however took the initiative to look for us to try this ointment. Firstly, it proves that their product is harmless. On the other hand, it also proves that they have done nothing unethical. They entrusted us as we, the reporters, will always stay true to our words. Is there any clinic in Golden City that is as fearless as them?"
Everyone finally understood the truth behind the scenes. They could not help but feel ashamed of themselves.
Instead, they were the one who was deluded by the Song family and Alfred a while ago.The reporters did not attempt to mislead the public at all.
The Helping Hands Medical Center didn't bribe the reporters. They knew in this instant that they had been used by the Song family and Alfred.
The truth had been revealed.
There was no secret about who the winner was.
Alfred's face turned pale when he heard the comments. The crowd was glaring at him angrily.
Again...
He was counterattacked.
Who was Chase? What a scary man he was!
How many things did he actually know?
He must have already guessed that they would be keeping an eye on them. Therefore, he purposely made a big move by inviting a hundred reporters.
"I'm so silly!" Alfred thought.
If the Helping Hands Medical Center really wanted to bribe the reporters, they would never have the courage to let everyone in the city know.
Alfred was too careless.
He also overlooked the fact that all the reporters invited were female.
If he didn't underestimate his enemy, he wouldn't have fallen into this trap.
He was the person who attacked the Helping Hands Medical Center by using Ethan to get his hands on their fake ointment.
However, at this moment, Chase was obviously the person who took the opportunity to counterattack Alfred.
Chase invited reporters and lured Alfred into his trap.
