The "Mirage Elemental Liquid" Detected to Contain Bathwater
The So-Called Life Elemental Liquid is Actually Diluted Bathwater
How Unscrupulous Can a Black-Hearted Merchant Be?
A Heavy Blow Against Black Merchants! Purifying the Commercial Environment!
One headline after another, like heavy bombs thrown into the digital world, detonated the entire online sphere.
The public already had a preconceived notion, harboring strong resistance and opposition towards Min Ziqiong.
Upon seeing these titles, they instantly flew into a rage.
Besides intensified insults, some even directly offered a 300,000 reward for Min Ziqiong's whereabouts!
Vowing to teach such a black-hearted merchant an unforgettable lesson!
Although the reward was quickly confirmed to be a publicity stunt, it still indicated the intensity of the netizens' anger at that moment.
Meanwhile, in the Shouyang Mountain villa, Ying Chen was also keeping track of the relevant news.
Ying Chen looked at the latest headlines with a surprised expression: "Is modern technology so advanced? They can even detect my bathwater?"
This point clearly caught Ying Chen off guard.
Min Ziqiong chuckled and explained: "It's just the media sensationalizing the headlines! The body of the article doesn't explicitly mention that, only that the detected ingredients are akin to bathwater, lacking any nutrients and containing various impurities."
"Oh," Ying Chen nodded.
The next moment, Ying Chen looked at Min Ziqiong: "You'd best not go out for these next few days. With public outrage so high, it's hard to guarantee that no self-righteous hero will emerge to do something to you. Just stay put in the villa and await the final outcome!"
Ying Chen truly understood the weight of the phrase "public outrage."
The once mighty Qin Empire was eventually overthrown by the boiling resentment of the populace.
Even the Iron Eagle Rui Shi couldn't stand against the countless fearless common people.
Public opinion is like a torrent.
It's better to guide it than to block it.
If Min Ziqiong dared to show herself at this juncture, she would be no different from a fool trying to block a flood with their body.
"I understand. I'm currently plucking chestnuts from the fire. I must be extremely cautious to succeed. Otherwise, I'll be the one getting burned, becoming a chestnut for others."
Min Ziqiong said.
Ying Chen put away his phone and sighed, "Scheming and deception, truly, they are unavoidable in any era!"
"It's a pity these are merely trivial arts. The true Great Dao lies only in possessing supreme power and achieving self-transcendence."
"It's like why mortals dare not scheme against deities. Besides deities being beyond mortals, it's also because no matter how mortals scheme, a deity only needs to extend a single finger to crush all their cunning."
After speaking, Ying Chen left the living room and headed for his bedroom.
Min Ziqiong remained alone in the living room, her expression slightly dazed.
Clearly, Ying Chen's words were directed at her.
Ying Chen wasn't accusing Min Ziqiong's actions as wrong, but rather reminding her: scheming against fellow mortals is acceptable, but don't do it when you encounter deities.
Because the power deities possess is not something that can be equaled through scheming!
As for who the deities are, does it even need to be asked?
Naturally, they are top-tier individuals like Ying Chen!
"However, is it possible for me to encounter such an individual in this lifetime?"
Min Ziqiong murmured to herself.
"And, even if I do encounter them, I might not need to be afraid! After all, I am also a believer of a deity!"

"Hahahaha, bathwater… My cousin is truly a talent, this is killing me!"
"She's so stingy she wouldn't even use sugar water, and directly used bathwater! This is treating consumers as less than human! You could have at least used some advanced technology or shoddy ingredients!"
Min Ziqiong's cousin was doubled over with laughter, tears streaming down his face.
He never imagined Min Ziqiong would do something like this, using bathwater as life elemental liquid!
This level of black-heartedness was even worse than his own!
"Tsk, tsk, my old classmate is quite ruthless! If we hadn't targeted her just in time, she might have actually succeeded. My dear, such people cannot be left unchecked, because she has no bottom line. She might just make a comeback one day." Li Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as she spoke.
"Do you have a new idea again?" Min Ziqiong's cousin glanced at Li Yan and asked.
"I'm planning to give her another heavy blow! Not only to further ignite public outrage, but also to add enough reason for the authorities to send her to prison!"
"Oh? Tell me quickly." Min Ziqiong's cousin was immediately interested.
"Like this, like this…" Li Yan whispered into Min Ziqiong's cousin's ear.
Min Ziqiong's cousin listened, beaming, and clapped his hands repeatedly.
Clearly, even he thought Li Yan's plan was both malicious and effective!
……………………………
As night deepened.
Inside the testing laboratory, most of the staff had returned to their hotel to rest, save for those on duty.
The team captain had just finished showering and was preparing to sleep when he heard a knock on his door.
"Who is it?" the captain called out as he went to open the door.
However, upon opening the door, he saw not a hotel staff member, but a stranger.
The stranger glanced around warily, then stepped into the captain's room.
He casually closed the door behind him.
"Who are you? What do you want?" the captain asked, backing away two steps.
The stranger smiled and said, "Please don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I'm just here to deliver something for someone."
With that, the stranger took out a card from his pocket and offered it to the captain.
"There's one million here. A young lady asked me to give it to you."
"The young lady's surname is Min."
*Flash!*
The captain's expression instantly changed.
"Min Ziqiong!" the captain blurted out, thinking of these three words.
The stranger neither confirmed nor denied, merely attempting to press the bank card into the captain's hand.
Unexpectedly, the captain sharply raised his finger: "Please leave!"
"And also, tell Min Ziqiong this: don't even mention one million, even ten million, or a hundred million, you cannot buy my conscience!"
"If I took her money, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly for the rest of my life!"
"And tell her this: if her product truly has no issues, she wouldn't need to go through such lengths; if her product truly has issues, then this is also unnecessary! Because justice will eventually be served!"
"If there's a next time, I'll report this directly to the media!"
With that, the captain opened the door and pushed the stranger out.
Standing outside the door, the stranger's face showed a hint of strangeness: "I didn't expect him to be so incorruptible, a rarity these days."
"However, with your incorruptibility, my mission cannot be completed."
"It seems I'll have to resort to the second plan. This plan carries a higher risk, so I'll need more money!"
