Chapter 241

Chapter 241 - Your Weakness Is too Big!

“What's happening?” Zhang Xiaolong could see that the woman approaching the Essence Dragon booth was clearly heading straight for them.

“Is she... the one who just took the sample?” Yang Jingjing's eyes widened in astonishment. “What happened to her face?”

Yang Jingjing had noticed the woman when she took the sample. Although not particularly attractive, her face had been fair and only slightly dry.

But now, her face was covered in red, swollen patches, as if she had suffered burns.

“Oh no, she must be here to accuse us falsely,” Zhou Li realized with a sinking feeling.

The woman's demeanor suggested she was looking for trouble, and the pack of reporters trailing her seemed eager for a scandal, encircling her eagerly.

“Look at this! My face was fine, but after using this company's makeup, it's been burned like this. How can I go on?” the woman wailed dramatically.

The reporters snapped photos incessantly, with some probing, “Can you tell us which makeup company caused such severe damage? To commit such a vile act at a trade show is unacceptable. We need to expose them and ensure these illegal vendors are punished!”

“It's them, Essence Dragon,” the woman said through clenched teeth. “I'd recognize them anywhere. That woman told me to come back in ten minutes, and now, in less than that time, my face is ruined. How can I live like this...”

Hearing this, a swarm of reporters descended upon the Essence Dragon booth, cameras flashing nonstop.

“What do we do?” Zhou Li was frantic, feeling as if her anxiety could ignite at any moment.

She dreaded the thought of tomorrow's headlines, both in print and online, likely screaming about Essence Dragon Makeup ruining a customer's face.

“I'll kill you, you fraud!” she screamed, lunging to claw at Yang Jingjing's face.

Zhou Li was the one who had provided the trial product, so it would stand to reason that the woman would be more resentful towards her. Yet, inexplicably, Yang Jingjing was the target of her fury.

Yang Jingjing didn't even flinch because she knew she was protected. With that person by her side, no crowd could touch her.

True to form, before the hand could strike, it was seized with a firm grip.

“Who are you?” the reporter demanded, furrowing his brow as he saw the intervention. “What gives you the right to interfere with a consumer seeking justice?”

“I'm someone who can't stand by when I see injustice,” Zhang Xiaolong replied calmly, still holding the woman's hand. “I don't know whether she's a consumer, and you don't know if her cause is just. In such a situation, the first step is to call the police and have her injuries assessed at a hospital, not to crowd around her with your cameras. Do you really think your flashes can heal her face?”

“Our flashes can't heal facial injuries, but they can shine a light on the dark corners of the world, exposing the malpractices of corrupt businesses,” the reporter declared with fervor. “If we do as you suggest, the businesses might bury this story. But we see that as unacceptable. It's the duty of every ethical journalist to inform the public of the truth!”

The crowd erupted in cheers at his words, and the audience grew larger.

“Excellent. I trust you'll remember your duty and convey the full truth, not just scratch the surface to make a quick buck with your pen,” Zhang Xiaolong said before the reporter could argue. “While I'm not entirely sure what the truth is, I'm somewhat familiar with Essence Dragon Makeup. This issue can be resolved quite easily. I'm prepared to reveal the truth right now. What I ask of you, as the reporter suggested, is to document the facts accurately. Let's ensure that no villain goes unnoticed, and no innocent is wrongly accused. We must bring the nefarious deeds to light and let the quality products be known far and wide. Can we count on you to do this?”

“We certainly can, but you...” The reporter, Qing Han, was cut off before she could finish.

“Great, I'll look forward to your coverage,” Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile, turning to the woman with the disfigured face. “You've made a significant sacrifice, but sadly, your deception is all too apparent.”
