Chapter 499
At the moment, Huang Ting also went up to the stage nervously to hold her mother. She looked at Zachary, and her mouth moved. She wanted to say something, but she didn't.
Looking at Huang Ting's pale face, Zachary knew what she was thinking. She was worried that her father really drugged her to death.
Zachary gave her a comforting look and sighed lightly in his heart. He thought that he had finally achieved the effect of deterrent and intimidation.
It was not so simple to change the prescription casually and become a deadly poison. In fact, even if you casually mixed the prescription with it, normally, you wouldn't die from eating it. However, if he told them the truth, the villagers would not stop concocting medicine. Instead, it would only make things worse, and there would be no way for him to spread the news.
Therefore, Zachary played a trick in secret. In fact, the five doses of medicine were all deadly after he deliberately calculated and strict ratio. Otherwise, even if he told ordinary people, they might not be worthy of this deadly poison.
Although it was deceiving them, it was also for the sake of their safety. After all, these villagers couldn't make qualitative changes in a short period of time, so they could only use this special method to achieve their purpose of propaganda. This time, the on-site demonstration ended. Looking at the villagers with surprised faces, Zachary heaved a long sigh of relief and thought to himself that he had finally achieved the effect of publicity.
After the villagers left, Zachary, Maxwell, and the others were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they prepared to carry out the commonly-used herbal formula plan in the nearby toilet.
It was easy to say that those cheap and common herbal prescriptions were provided to the Sanity Bureau, and they would be sold to the local villagers at a low price after they were mixed together, which would reduce the possibility of the littering of medicine for the villagers.
After finishing the herbal formula plan, Xiao Ziqian called Zachary and explained the situation on the TV station.
The situation was almost the same as Zachary's expectation. Xiao Ziqian proposed the suggestion to stop the medicine presentation in the stage, which was immediately rejected by the leaders in the stage.
Later, Xiao Ziqian still called the Sanitary Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, and also released the details of the village poisoning in Ludington City, which caused a stir. Under many pressures, the TV station had to shut down the drug selling program.
It was natural that Xiao Ziqian was once again suppressed on the stage. Although she was nominally the pillar producer of the provincial TV shopping channel, she didn't have many subordinates. She didn't have any resources to make new programs, so she was almost just a decoration.
In this regard, Zachary gave Xiao Ziqian a reassurance and told her not to worry. He already had a preliminary idea. After going back this time, he would ask Xiao Ziqian to come and fulfill it together with him. After staying in the village for another two days, all the things were settled, and Zachary and the others were ready to leave.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Before leaving, Zachary called Huang Ting and was ready to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, the other side turned off the phone when he called. Zachary had to put the phone away and was ready to make a call after going back. But at this moment, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the village. Many villagers ran over in a hurry, shouting constantly, "Hurry up! Check it out!"
"Someone's trying to jump into the river. Hurry up!"
"He's at the village entrance. Hurry up!"
Hearing this, Zachary was shocked. He caught a villager and asked, "Hey, fellow villagers, where are you going so in such a hurry?"
The villagers replied, "Someone wants to jump into the river at the entrance of the village. Everyone went to check it out."
Zachary was shocked and quickly asked, "Who wants to jump into the river? Why?"
The villagers replied, "I don't know either!" Then they ran away.
After saying that, Zachary put down his luggage and quickly ran to the entrance of the village with the crowd.
There was a small river at the entrance of the village, which was the main source of water for the villagers in the nearby villages. At the entrance of the village, there was a concrete bridge on the river.
At this moment, before Zachary arrived, he saw many people standing around the bridge, looking at the railing anxiously. Many villagers were shouting to persuade him, but the people on the railing did not respond at all.
Zachary sped up and ran to the end of the bridge. Only then did he see the face of the figure on the railing of the bridge. He was shocked because the person on the bridge was Huang Ting.
At the moment, Huang Ting was wearing a white floral dress. Her hair was combed neatly and she wore a light green hairpin. She sat on the railing of the bridge with her legs on the outside of the fence.
Looking from the side, her face was very calm, and there was a desperate and lost expression in her expression.
"Huang, don't be impulsive, come down quickly!"
"Yes, Tingting. Tell me if there's anything I can do for you. I'll make the decision for you!"
"Huangting, I'm Xiao Hua. Don't do stupid things! Didn't you say that you're going to hang out with our old classmates?"
Many people who knew Huang Ting shouted anxiously at the moment, but Huang Ting's face was expressionless and there was no response.
Zachary took a quick look at the scene. The place at the end of the bridge was about five meters away from the railing where Huang Ting was sitting. At Zachary's speed, he could rush over in more than two seconds, but it was difficult to ensure that Huang Ting would not fall off the bridge at this moment.
The river was not big, and the bridge was not high, about five meters high. However, in the river below the bridge, there were a lot of stones and architectural garbage that had been abandoned in the river because of construction, which was very chaotic.
If it fell like this, it would be very dangerous for it to hit the rocks or those steel reinforced bars hidden in the water.
The villagers were still persuading. Zachary asked the people around him to figure out why Huang Ting suddenly wanted to commit suicide. But the people around him could not explain why, but her neighbor faintly mentioned that Huang Ting seemed to have quarreled with her family several times in the past few days.
Speaking of this, Zachary noticed that Huang Ting's parents Huang Tianshou and Liu Er, as well as Zachary, who had never seen his brother Huang Wu, were not among the crowd.
Immediately, Zachary's heart was filled with anger. No matter how big the contradiction was, now his family was going to commit suicide, but they didn't even come to see it. This was too much.
There were also some people around discussing this matter in low voices. Many people were not satisfied with the attitude of the Huang family.
The neighbor sighed softly and said, "Huang Ting is such a nice girl. Old Huang's family didn't cherish her and even demanded such a request from her child. The result turned out to be like this."
"I heard that the village head had already sent someone to call them over. However, some people said that they were afraid of provoking Tingting, so they didn't let them come over."
Various sounds of discussion came into Zachary's ears, and he carefully observed Huang Ting's every move.
A breeze blew, and Huang Ting's white floral dress gently fluttered, her hair dancing in the air. A faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and she whispered to herself, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I hope there will be a daughter that will make you satisfied to be reincarnated in your family in the next life!"
Then, Huang Ting stood up, slightly leaned forward, and was about to jump down.
At this moment, Zachary's eyes were shining. He stamped hard on the ground with his feet, and his whole body burst out in an instant, rushing toward Huang Ting like a cheetah.
At the same time, Zachary burst out the aura of all herbs and turned it into an invisible shield, which covered Huang Ting.
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help exclaiming. At this moment, Huang Ting also lost her balance and fell down from the bridge railing.
Just as her body fell down, she seemed to encounter a layer of obstacle in the air. Her body stopped for a moment and slowed down her falling movement.
At this moment, Zachary arrived in time. He struggled to stretch out his arms, over the railing, and held Huang Ting by the waist in the air. Then with the momentum of rushing, he tightly held Huang Ting and pulled her back from outside the fence. Then he fell down, rolled on the bridge, and resolved the momentum of impact. At the same time, he tightly held Huang Ting in his arms, tightly protecting her so that she wouldn't be hurt in the slightest.
The villagers on the other end of the bridge panicked when Huang Ting got up. Zachary's next series of actions saved Huang Ting in the nick of time. The villagers were suddenly excited and rushed over in a hurry. There was a thunderous applause.
Huang Ting felt that her body was in a firm warm state. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Zachary at a glance. She was suddenly surprised and moved her mouth. Before she could say anything, tears flowed down from her eyes. "It's okay, it's okay!" Zachary held Huang Ting tightly, patted her back gently and comforted her softly.
Then, Maxwell and the others hurried over and persuaded the villagers to go back to the farm. Then, they took Huang Ting back to the toilet. After giving Huang Ting a careful examination and confirming that she was not seriously ill, Zachary and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
When Huang Ting calmed down, Zachary walked into the room and asked softly, "Huang Ting, can you tell me what happened?"
Huang Ting kept silent for a while, and her tears came out silently again. Her thin shoulders shook, and she cried like a pear blossom bathed in the rain.
Zachary quickly came forward, gently held Huang Ting, and comforted her softly, "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it! Cry out if you have anything sad. Cry out and you'll be fine!"
Huang Ting leaned in Zachary's arms and burst into tears. Finally, her voice became lower and lower. Then she said with a sob, "Since I was born, my family has not liked me."
