Chapter 741: The boasting she did is about to be exposed!

Chapter 741: Chapter 741: The boasting she did is about to be exposed!

Qiao Xi was also startled, all her drowsiness vanished.

"Did something explode?"

The bang seemed not far from here.

If it was an explosion, it might affect the crowd.

Old Chen and Sun Weimeng ran out of the villa to check.

Qiao Xi also wanted to get up, Huo Xingzhou supported her waist and said, "Take it slow."

Qiao Xi vaguely felt that the explosion was related to Huo Xingzhou, he didn’t seem surprised at all.

The two of them walked outside the villa and saw smoke billowing in mid-air, as if something had caught fire.

"It’s burning, it’s burning!"

Sun Weimeng clapped his hands in delight.

"Well burned! I didn’t expect the Liu Family to be so capable; finally, a breath of relief."

Qiao Xi listened in confusion, they all knew what was going on.

But she didn’t know.

"Burnt what?"

Sun Weimeng met her puzzled eyes and smiled, "Of course it’s the Lu Family’s medicinal herbs! Their stock was running low, this was a batch urgently transferred from the Southwest Factory Area, and now it’s all burned!"

"What about casualties..." Qiao Xi immediately thought of people.

"No casualties." Huo Xingzhou squeezed her hand and said, "The passenger plane unloaded mechanically upon arrival. We don’t joke with human lives, absolutely no innocent people will be harmed."

"That’s good."

Qiao Xi looked at the rolling smoke and said faintly, "Really curious how the Lu Family will wrap this up. They’ve blown their horn, and now saying there are no herbs will definitely upset many people."

They don’t care if it’s free or not, they’ll just think that those treated yesterday all got free herbs, so why not today?

That grand god-making activity started high and went low.

Huo Xingzhou rubbed her head and said, "That’s not for you to worry about. The Lu Family’s free consultation has drawn much attention, many live platforms are following today. If you’re bored, you can watch a live stream."

"Okay."

"Old Chen, we’re getting ready to go."

Huo Xingzhou still had things to deal with, called Old Chen and left.

Sun Weimeng, wanting to watch the excitement, also went out, leaving Qiao Xi alone at home.

...

That explosion alarmed many people.

Lu Yingxue was woken from her sweet dream, and hurried with Lu Bannong to the unloading site.

In the open area, the flames soared.

Most of the herbs were dry and easily burned.

The first batch of several tons of herbs were completely turned to ashes.

Lu Yingxue was utterly shocked, "How did it all burn?"

Lu Bannong organized people to extinguish the fire, but herbs lose their medicinal properties when exposed to heat.

Nothing useful was left.

Lu Bannong, with a livid face, roared, "How are you doing your jobs? How could a fire break out just like that?"

These herbs were crucial; the second day was when the attention peaked, how could something happen to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall?

"Mr. Lu, we also don’t know what happened. Robots were arranged for unloading, but it burst into fire and caused the plane to explode. We didn’t dare to get close, fearing chain explosions!"

The person in charge was also at a loss and instead asked, "We heard many herbs contradict each other, and some metals or stones could also cause fires, couldn’t they?"

"Nonsense!"

Lu Bannong shouted angrily, "Do you think safety checks are just for show? Investigate! Find out the truth for me! I want to see if this was an accident or someone targeting me on purpose!"

Lu Yingxue’s face turned pale, recovered and said hoarsely, "Father, what matters now is not who did it, but how to conduct today’s free clinic."

Their Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall had drawn national attention, and many from the Northwest had come specifically to seek treatment.

It would be hard to explain!

They wanted to stir public opinion but didn’t want to be backfired!

Lu Bannong’s temple throbbed, "You quickly go back to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall to prepare. The warehouse transferred herbs from other pharmacies, enough for the morning’s needs. I’m now finding people to transfer essential herbs from around the Imperial Capital, we can barely make it this afternoon."

Lu Yingxue sighed in relief after hearing this, "Then call Zhao Chang today to send another batch. Only Zhao Chang’s Southwest Plantation can meet our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall’s needs nationwide, it’s too late to cooperate with other plantations."

"Yes, that’s the only way."

Luckily, there’s a way to resolve this matter.

Lu Bannong had someone send Lu Yingxue back and began making calls to transfer herbs.

However, Zhao Chang’s phone didn’t connect at first.

Lu Bannong didn’t mind, he’d deal with today’s herbs according to priority and urgency. He could still call Zhao Chang in the afternoon, air transport would reach the Imperial Capital quickly.

He had many herbs stocked, the workers just needed to transport them.

The Lu Family’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall’s second day’s free consultation started on time.

Lu Yingxue looked radiant, even better than yesterday.

She was also more accustomed to facing the camera.

Today’s waiting patients were even more than anticipated, exceeding the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall’s expectations.

Herbs were consumed rapidly.

Lu Bannong wasn’t at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, the warehouse manager could only report to Lu Yingxue.

Sweat nearly broke on Lu Yingxue’s forehead, suppressing her voice she asked, "How did this happen?"

"Young mistress, your reputation is too great. Even a celebrity is endorsing you, that starlet Xia Sisi particularly praised you, leading her many fans to queue up. She has good connections in the entertainment circle, and other stars are following her example."

As a result, by afternoon, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall was packed.

"Entertainment stars!"

If she recalled correctly, Xia Sisi’s brother was Xia Yong’an, who was Huo Xingzhou’s friend!

This was deliberate!

With the entertainment industry’s strong persuasive power, those fans were somewhat obsessed.

When idols speak, how could they not listen!

Lu Yingxue nearly ground her molars, "How long can the warehouse herbs last now?"

The warehouse manager looked at the long queue and said, "At most an hour."

"It’s now noon, the afternoon consultation starts at two, meaning by three our herbs will be exhausted. Have you transferred those around Imperial Capital?"

"Transferred! But the supply just can’t keep up with the consumption!"

This time they played too big!

Lu Yingxue furrowed her brows, "Where’s my father?"

"Mr. Lu is contacting Mr. Zhao; we don’t know what’s wrong with the Southwest side, but we still haven’t gotten through." Lu Bannong was also overwhelmed, he had cursed Zhao Chang a thousand times in his heart, made over a hundred calls with no answer.

Lu Yingxue felt a bit panicked.

She felt as though something had slipped out of control.

"Miss, please think of a solution! The queue behind keeps extending, it’s almost reaching the fourth ring! You accepted media interviews saying no one would be turned away, and you said there’s enough herbs! Now, we have no reason to stop them even if we want to!"

Lu Yingxue’s face turned green and white alternately.

The boast she made, was about to be burst!
