Fade frowned. "Have you tried calling the police?"
Otto sighed and said, "We have. They came once but they can't really do anything because in Jade City, protesting isn't against the law. All they're doing is standing outside. That's considered public property."
Fade's brows furrowed tightly as he looked outside and said, "The news just came out this morning, yet now, there are already so many people here. Not to mention that all of them have signboards and slogans ready. Even the reporters are here. I'm afraid someone might be pushing things along behind the scenes!"
"We guessed as much, but without any evidence, we can't stop them."
Then, he pointed to the leader of the protestors and added, "That man is called Gael Lin. He used to be a loyal customer of Sincere Medicine Center. His father was bedridden for nine years. With our medicine, his father eventually recovered."
"Yet today, he suddenly changed his tune, claiming that our medicines had worsened his father's condition. Apparently, his father could have recovered a long time ago, but our medicine delayed his recovery."
"Hence, he brought a group of people over to protest."
Fade's eyes were cold and he whispered, "There must be some reason for his sudden change. It's either money or some other benefit."
Otto sighed and felt helpless.
Meanwhile, the protestors, who had been shocked earlier, started to stand up wobbly.
They had heard the conversation between Fade and the staff members, so they now knew who he was.
Gael pointed to Fade and shouted, "That man is Fade Chen, the owner of this medicine center. You blood-sucking monster. Get out of Jade City!"
"Get out of Jade City!"
"Boycott Fade and Sincere Medicine Center!"
"This is not your place to be. Get out!"
Shouts rang out one after another, and reporters kept taking photos at the side. It was obvious that all of this had been set up in advance.
"Fade..." Otto was a little anxious as he stared at him helplessly.
"Master Pai, don't worry. I'll take care of it."
Immediately, Fade stepped forward and walked to Gael. He said coldly, "Who told you to come here?"
Gael's eyes flickered and he said, "What do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about."
"No one asked me to come. We came on our own. We just can't stand a dishonest man like you," yelled the young woman who had pushed the elderly lady earlier. Her fists were clenched.
Fade turned to look at the woman and said
flatly, "You must be the lady who shoved the old woman!"
"That old woman is in poor health. Not only have you stopped her from getting her medicine, you even injured her. Aren't you ashamed of your actions?"
The young woman's eyes glittered but she insisted stubbornly, "I never pushed her. Don't put it on me. Plus, isn't she perfectly fine? Do you have any evidence that I pushed her?" "How dare you deny it! " Fade was stunned. He turned to his staff members and ordered, "Call the police and bring me the surveillance footage."
Due to the protests, there were already police on duty nearby.
The policemen arrived in no time. Fade pulled up the surveillance footage on screen for everyone to see.
"Are you still trying to deny it?" He then asked coldly.
The young woman's face turned pale and her expression turned ghastly.
The cops were ready to arrest her.
Right at this moment, a group of people squeezed in and shouted.
"Why are you guys arresting her? This is illegal."
