Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1053 - 1119: Each Sticking to Their Own Story

As time passed, more and more people gathered.Speaking thus became somewhat inconvenient.

After all, with so many ears listening, some words could be easily spread and distorted beyond recognition, eventually turning into rumors.

Many people glanced at Lin Hai with a complex look when they arrived.

After all, he is now the most prominent figure in Yanjing, the boss of the Linya Pharmaceutical Company, which is currently enjoying booming sales.

In the industry, especially with Old Qin's deliberate promotion, Lin Hai's name has become well-known and impossible to keep low profile.

"Look, Old Qin is here."

Someone started whispering.

Others looked at Lin Hai with schadenfreude, thinking he overestimated himself by daring to challenge Old Mr. Qin, without realizing the man's vast network and significant influence in the medical industry.

Some of the younger crowd didn't think highly of Lin Hai.

Some even unabashedly showed their disdain, as if Lin Hai had indeed plagiarized this man's prescription.

Aside from a few friends close to Lin Hai, most people distanced themselves.

"How can these people behave this way?" Ouyang Xiaoya frowned.

Lin Hai chuckled, "Many people just want to avoid trouble; in their eyes, we are the plagiarists."

"But you didn't plagiarize."

"Yet nobody believes it because I'm young, have no roots, and Old Qin has cultivated his network in Yanjing for a lifetime, so no one supports me," Lin Hai explained with a smile.

Ouyang Xiaoya felt somewhat upset; if they were in Huadu, perhaps her influence might have made things different.

Seeing his wife's mood, Lin Hai whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, later on, that Qin fellow will face a hard slap from me, and don't forget the prescription password as the trump card."

"Prescription password."

Upon hearing Lin Hai mention it again, Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes brightened.

Indeed, with Lin Hai's prescription password, even if Old Qin had mouths all over his body, he could hardly smear Lin Hai anymore.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's start today's matter."

A young man with a stern expression walked to the front and addressed the people seated around the room.

Lin Hai was curious; he thought the presiding figure of this internal trial would surely be an old guy with grizzled hair, as flaunting seniority would show he had the authority to speak.

"Don't underestimate this young man; he has a significant background," Divine Doctor Xiao remarked to Lin Hai with a smile.

Lin Hai nodded, "No one here is showing disdain for him, and being so young and yet establishing such a presence indicates a substantial background."

"Your observation skills are excellent; yes, this young man is named Yin Yixuan," Divine Doctor Xiao added.

"Yin Yixuan? He does seem quite solemn," Lin Hai commented.

"Perhaps you'll understand better with another title; he's from the Yin Family of Yanjing's Evil Doctor Sect," Divine Doctor Xiao continued.

"And he's also the next leader of the Yin Family, the future helm of the Longevity Group."

That identity is indeed quite significant.

Nowadays in Yanjing, or even the entire Huaxia's medical industry, it's essentially a standoff among four major players.

Divine Medicine Group, Longevity Group, Qin Family Pharmaceutical, and the newly emerged Linya Pharmaceutical.

The first two have deep roots and hold near-supreme status in the medical industry.

"This guy is powerful," Lin Hai murmured.

Just then, Yin Yixuan spoke again.

"Old Mr. Qin, you're accusing Linya Group's chairman Lin Hai of plagiarizing your exclusive formula, correct?"

Old Qin nodded, his face stern, speaking in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, I have a prescription here, my exclusive formula, and later, after signing confidentiality agreements, you can view it to determine if Lin Hai has plagiarized it."

The surrounding people nodded, with some in favor of Old Qin adding, "Rest assured, as old friends, we'll definitely stand by you."

"Indeed, the current medical industry is becoming more corrupt, and people are increasingly restless; many juniors pursue fame and fortune by unscrupulous means."

"For some profit, they don't hesitate to plagiarize prescriptions; such theft should be condemned by all."

Lin Hai widened his eyes, "What the hell? I haven't plagiarized the prescription, and here you go, spewing insults already."

Ouyang Xiaoya wore a frosty expression, clenching her small fists, sticking up for Lin Hai.

Yin Yixuan looked towards Lin Hai, speaking, "Mr. Lin, do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Lin Hai nodded slightly, stood up, and stared directly at Old Qin.

Old Qin snorted indignantly, turned his head away, seemingly disdainful to meet Lin Hai's gaze.

"Hmph, act all high and mighty; just wait till I disgrace you so bad you'll be left like a dog," Lin Hai internally mocked before speaking up, "Fellow seniors here may harbor an innate misunderstanding of me."

"Speaking for myself, I have some superficial insights and interests in medical skill."

"Besides that, I swear on my character and reputation that I absolutely did not plagiarize anyone's prescription."

"As for this matter, perhaps there's a misunderstanding between us, of course, we can't rule out some people being envious; after all, anyone can invent accusations when wanting to cause trouble. I'm just a junior, new to Yanjing, naturally ignorant and doing things with a naive heart, unintentionally offending some seniors."

Lin Hai emphasized the words "some seniors" at the end, looking directly at Old Qin, speaking one word at a time.

Old Qin's supporters, especially a group of stubborn white-haired elders, frowned furiously; Lin Hai's words appeared gentle but slyly accused them of bullying and suppressing newcomers.

"Hmph, shameless boasting; would I bully someone like you? If you hadn't plagiarized my prescription and deceitfully misled others, for the sake of the medical industry's honor, I'll lay aside my old face today to expose you," Old Qin spoke righteously, his murky old eyes momentarily filled with "positive energy."

"Tsk tsk, you play moral coercion expertly," Lin Hai mocked loudly.

"What did you say? Insolence!" An elder next to Old Qin glared fiercely at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai ignored him entirely, planning that the best method to deal with low-IQ personnel is to give them a slap in the face later on.

"Everyone, today I stand not only as a defendant; actually, I also want to accuse this Qin elder of slandering me, and taking the opportunity to steal my prescription utilizing unfair means."

Lin Hai's statement immediately stirred everyone present.

What's going on?

Wasn't Old Mr. Qin accusing Lin Hai?

How did Lin Hai also accuse Old Mr. Qin of stealing his prescription?

"Everyone please be quiet," Yin Yixuan, presiding over the trial, spoke.

Looking at both Lin Hai and Old Qin, Yin Yixuan continued in a business-like manner, "Since both parties are adamant, let's rely on evidence to determine credibility; all of you are proficient in the medical industry, with rich experiences, any issue with the prescription will be apparent."

Old Qin sneered, secretly looking down upon Lin Hai, thinking he was trying to retaliate, believing he could stir up confusion; naive.

"Here's my prescription, alongside another—derived from computing the composition formula of Linya Pharmaceutical's beauty care medicine, resembling my style and technique; as for my forthcoming beauty care medicine, due to commercial confidentiality, I can't reveal it at present; please understand."

Old Qin produced two prescriptions, one of which he initially acquired from Ning Family's Second.

This was his ace in the hole; with these two prescriptions displayed, he was confident Lin Hai was doomed, and once condemned for plagiarism, every drop of spit among those present could drown Lin Hai.
