64: Live stream of farts!

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the stage.

This... what kind of outrageous remark is this?

To ask a patient who had just been cured of a rabies episode to fart in public, and even demand... that he lift his butt a little?

This is no longer just messing around; this is simply... insane!

It's an insult to medicine! To the patient! And even more so, an insult to everyone present...

Bai Wanqing's face instantly darkened, and for the first time, a crack appeared in her usually gentle and composed expression.

She raised her hand to her forehead, her temples throbbing.

Ye Chen... what on earth is he trying to do?

Even if he needs to verify it, can't he choose a slightly more normal method?

Could he have some unknown fetish?

This thought sent a chill through her heart, and her gaze toward Ye Chen became complicated...

The guy on the hospital bed was even more panicked.

He abruptly covered his backside with both hands, stammering incoherently: "Brother! Don't mess around! I, I'm not gay! I like women! Really!"

Ye Chen's face darkened: "Neither am I, I'm a straight man, I like women... especially beautiful ones."

"Then what are you doing?" The patient was on the verge of tears, feeling like he had just escaped the wolf's den only to enter a tiger's lair; this world was too terrifying.

"Helping you verify your physical condition, and exposing a fraud while I'm at it." Ye Chen put aside his joking tone, his expression serious. "Don't worry, it'll be quick, it won't hurt."

Before he even finished speaking, he had already pinched a long, thin Silver Needle between his fingers.

Before the patient could react, Ye Chen flicked his wrist, and the Silver Needle seemed to come alive, precisely piercing an acupoint above the tailbone!

"Ugh!"

The patient shuddered, feeling a slight swelling in his buttocks, and a sensation of gas suddenly shot up along his spine. It wasn't painful; instead, it brought a tingling numbness.

Ye Chen quickly withdrew the Silver Needle and used his other hand to rapidly press several times on the patient's lower back.

Then, as if afraid of being gassed, he stepped back quickly while covering his mouth and nose with his hand.

"Alright, brother, you can let it rip!"

"Pfft—"

A long, loud, and even somewhat melodic fart exploded in the exhibition hall without warning!

The sound was so resonant and the tail so long that it practically lingered in the air!

The entire venue fell into deathly silence. Every face was petrified.

In this exhibition gathering medical elites, they had actually collectively listened to a rabies patient "live-streaming a fart"?

Absurd! Bizarre! Unbelievable!

Professor Sun Huowang's face turned from black to green, then from green to purple. His finger, pointing at Ye Chen, shook as if he had Parkinson's: "You... you... you are a disgrace! A disgrace to academia! You..."

He was so angry he couldn't even speak coherently.

However, his angry curses and the stunned silence of the crowd were shattered in the next second by a shrill howl!

"Hhh... Aaaah!!!"

On the hospital bed, the patient who had just looked so relieved suddenly stiffened his body!

His eyes were instantly covered with terrifying bloodshot veins again, even more crimson and horrific than before he was injected with "qingyuan no. 1"!

His facial muscles twitched wildly, his mouth gaped open, and saliva mixed with blood foam gushed out...

In just a few seconds, he went from someone who appeared cured back into a rabies patient with worsening symptoms!

"Aah!" "Oh my god! He's having another episode!" "How can this be? Wasn't he cured?" "Quick! Hold him down! It's dangerous!"

Screams erupted from the audience, and the crowd retreated in panic. Several burly security guards rushed in and tied the man down with restraints.

But the shrill howling and struggling did not stop...

Sun Huowang's face turned pale as paper, cold sweat soaking his shirt.

Damn it! Who exactly is this kid?

That medicine was indeed not a cure for rabies, but it shouldn't have been ineffective either.

Under normal circumstances... after the medicine entered the body, it would suppress the rabies virus and make the patient return to normal.

After a year or a year and a half, when the patient's body was hollowed out, they would die of a sudden acute illness, but by then... what would that have to do with him?

But now, it hadn't even lasted half a day!

"Inject a sedative! Quick!" An experienced doctor realized what was happening and shouted commands.

As the injection was administered, the patient's struggles gradually weakened, but those crimson eyes were still staring fixedly, like a vengeful ghost, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Immediately after, everyone's gaze shifted from the patient to Sun Huowang.

"Professor Sun!" An Old Expert with gray hair stood up tremblingly, "What is going on here? Isn't 'qingyuan no. 1' supposed to cure it? Why did the patient suddenly deteriorate!"

"That's right, Professor Sun! You must give everyone an explanation!" "We came here because of your paper and the reputation of Tianyao Group!" "Is this an accident, or a scam?!"

The questions surged in like a tide.

"I... I..." Sun Huowang opened his mouth but couldn't get any words out.

But the next second, he saw Ye Chen and pointed at him, roaring.

"It's him! He must be the one behind this!" "He messed with the patient just now! He used needles! He pressed his back!"

"That's right! He must have used some underhanded methods to stimulate the patient's nervous system, causing the condition to relapse!"

"Everyone, believe me!" "'qingyuan no. 1' has been verified through countless experiments!" "It's this malicious little man, deliberately sabotaging our research results and smearing Tianyao Group!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke. He almost believed it himself...

Ye Chen, however, laughed.

"Professor Sun, your ability to shift the blame is truly impressive."

"My acupuncture and massage were to help him clear his qi and pass gas."

"According to your logic, could I have turned your miracle drug into a fart and let it out?"

The crowd's expressions were strange. That's right... the medicine was already in his body and had cured the illness, how could it turn into a fart and be passed!

They would rather believe that a sow could climb a tree!

Ye Chen continued.

"Or is it..." "That your medicine didn't cure him at all, but only suppressed it temporarily to create an illusion."

"And by me clearing his qi flow slightly, releasing some of that forcibly suppressed disease qi, the true condition... couldn't be hidden anymore?"

Sun Huowang was choked until his face turned red, and then he became angry from embarrassment: "You are spitting blood! This is slander! Libel! I will sue you!"

"Sue me?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, "You're welcome to. It'll give the police and more professional medical institutions a chance to investigate what exactly the ingredients of your 'qingyuan no. 1' are. Is it a good medicine that saves lives, or a poison that harms people?"

"You!!!" Sun Huowang's eyes were splitting with rage, but he had no rebuttal.

Off stage, Bai Wanqing had completely calmed down. Her beautiful face was covered in a layer of frost, and she spoke slowly.

"Professor Sun." "Tianyao Group invested huge capital based on our respect for scientific research and our expectations for human health."

"Now, under the eyes of everyone, such a situation has occurred..." "Please give me, and everyone present, a reasonable explanation."

Sun Huowang was completely panicked: "This, this might be... individual differences! Yes, an rejection reaction!"

He stammered incoherently, his eyes darting around, his words disjointed. Anyone could see his guilt and panic...

The crowd weren't fools; they could all tell Sun Huowang was making things up on the spot!

Rejection reactions can happen, but the symptoms wouldn't look like a rabies episode!

The last trace of warmth in Bai Wanqing's eyes vanished.

"If your explanation is just this kind of excuse that you can't even convince yourself of..."

"Then, for the reputation of Tianyao Group, and to be responsible for human life, I have no choice but to ask the police and relevant drug regulatory departments to intervene and thoroughly investigate the R&D process of 'qingyuan no. 1', all experimental data, and..."

"Every single flow of funds."

"No! Don't!!!" Sun Huowang's legs went weak, his face full of fear, "Madam Bai! I beg you to show mercy! I'll return the money! I'll return all the money Tianyao Group invested!"

He had completely broken down. He knew better than anyone that once the police and drug regulators investigated deeply, what awaited him would not just be the ruin of his reputation, but imprisonment, and even... more terrifying consequences.

The crowd off stage was stunned at first, then their anger exploded!

Good grief! It was a real fraud! This bastard had been treating everyone like monkeys!

Bai Wanqing looked down at him from above, her gaze icy.

"Return the money? Admit your mistake?" "Professor Sun, do you think this is just a matter of money and reputation?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the hospital bed.

"That is a life, a life that countless families thought saw hope, but may have been pushed by you into an even deeper abyss of despair!"

"Today, you must give everyone an explanation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole venue erupted!

"Yes! An explanation!"

"You must explain clearly!"

"What kind of medicine is this? How many people has it harmed?"

Off stage, experts, pharmaceutical representatives, and media reporters who had recovered from their shock were filled with righteous indignation. Roars and questions swept through the exhibition hall like a tsunami, unable to be calmed...
