Chapter 109: The Female Reporter Jiang Tunfei

Chapter 109: The Reporter, Jiang Tingfei

Dozens of reporters swarmed forward instantly.

"Brother Wang, let's go!"

Jiang Tingfei seized a favorable position, and with quick eyes and fast hands, she led her cameraman through the crowd, being the first to rush toward Shen An.

However, someone, out of malice, tripped her. She lost her balance and tumbled forward, landing precisely in Shen An's arms.

Shen An was stunned for half a second, thinking: Are beautiful women these days so forward? Throwing themselves at a handsome guy like this?

He held Jiang Tingfei and took the opportunity to steal a glance. Hmm, this girl was quite pretty—at least on par with Chu Yuxi.

Under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, Jiang Tingfei's face flushed to the tips of her ears, looking as shy as a startled little rabbit. However, she couldn't afford to be distracted now. The interview was the priority; she could not let such a golden opportunity slip to anyone else.

Jiang Tingfei shoved her microphone toward Shen An and signaled for the cameraman to start recording.

"Sir, I am a reporter from Yincheng Television. May I ask you a few questions?"

Shen An was dumbfounded. Damn, I got all excited for nothing; she’s just a reporter.

Shen An initially wanted to refuse, but then he reconsidered. Perhaps he could use media coverage to suppress the arrogance of Zhicheng Pharmaceutical.

"Fine, go ahead."

Jiang Tingfei was overjoyed and hurriedly pressed him: "I heard that Tongcheng Hospital was illegally organizing citizens to donate blood. Are you aware of this?"

Shen An nodded. "I am, and I was the one who reported it!"

"Really?!"

Jiang Tingfei was incredibly excited. She hadn't expected the man before her to be the whistleblower himself. This was an exclusive scoop; her interview would definitely make the headlines!

"Then may I ask, how did you discover this? And could you describe what happened?"

Jiang Tingfei held the microphone to his lips.

Shen An recounted the entire incident, detailing how Tongcheng Hospital was collecting blood illegally and using prizes to incite the public, leading to his report.

"Do you believe there are other hidden scandals behind this incident?"

Jiang Tingfei's question was sharp and hit the nail on the head.

Tongcheng Hospital was a subsidiary of Zhicheng Pharmaceutical. If the hospital was in trouble, it definitely had something to do with the parent company; it was even possible that Zhicheng Pharmaceutical had orchestrated the whole thing.

Shen An pondered for a moment. The evidence he currently possessed couldn't directly pin it on Zhicheng Pharmaceutical, so he couldn't expose them outright yet. Then there was the missing persons case—an issue of great magnitude. While exposing it now would be a heavy blow to Xu Tianming, it wouldn't be fatal. He needed to wait for the right moment to strike a decisive blow against Zhicheng Pharmaceutical.

For now, Shen An’s goal was simply to use the media to apply pressure on the company.

After weighing his options, Shen An looked into the camera and said:

"I believe it is possible. Regarding the incident at Tongcheng Hospital, I think the Zhicheng Pharmaceutical Group should step forward and provide an explanation to the public."

"All right, thank you for your cooperation."

"Dear viewers, this concludes our interview. Yincheng Television will continue to follow the developments of the Tongcheng Hospital incident. Goodbye!"

After a few minutes, Jiang Tingfei finished the interview and left with her cameraman.

Shen An wanted to ask for her phone number to invite her to dinner, but she left in such a hurry that she didn't give him a chance.

"Huh? That big sister seems to have dropped something."

Nini picked up a business card from the ground.

"Nini, let big brother see."

Shen An quickly snatched the card from Nini's hand. It had a name and a phone number written on it: Jiang Tingfei, Yincheng Television Reporter, 13XXXXXXXXX.

"Heh, that was easier than expected." Shen An tucked the card away with a mischievous smirk.

Bai Weiwei, standing nearby, saw it all and chimed in coldly: "Hmph, lecher!"

"Hahaha..."

After leaving the hospital, Bai Weiwei and Shen An parted ways; she said she needed to go back and properly investigate Zhicheng Pharmaceutical.

Shen An drove Nini and her mother home. When they arrived at their doorstep, Nini’s mother didn't get out, instead looking at Shen An with hesitation.

"What's wrong, ma'am? Is there something else?" Shen An asked.

Nini’s mother glanced at her daughter and then said, "Boss Shen, I saw that your friend works for the authorities. I have a small matter I was hoping to ask for their help with."

"Sure, tell me. As long as it's something I can help with, I'll definitely say yes."

Shen An felt a bit guilty about what happened at the restaurant earlier, and he wanted to use this opportunity to make it up to them.

Nini’s mother said, "It's nothing major, really. I just wanted to ask for your help in getting an adoption certificate."

An adoption certificate?

Shen An asked for details and learned that Nini wasn't her biological daughter, but an orphan from the Yincheng Orphanage. She had been trying to adopt her, but the paperwork was incredibly complex; she had spent two years trying to get the certificate without success.

"No problem, that's a piece of cake. I'll get it sorted for you tomorrow!" Shen An promised, patting his chest.

"Thank you so much, Boss Shen!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Nini and her mother were deeply grateful.

Shen An left his phone number and made an appointment to take Nini to the orphanage the next day to handle the paperwork.

After dropping them off, Shen An drove home. As night fell, he took a hot bath and sat cross-legged on his bed to cultivate, closing his eyes and inhaling and exhaling in rhythm with the Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique.

...

At Zhicheng Pharmaceutical, in the Chairman's office, Xu Tianming sat before his computer watching the day's news.

Every television station was reporting on the Tongcheng Hospital incident. The clip of Jiang Tingfei interviewing Shen An had undoubtedly hit the front page, with over ten million views.

The entire population of Yincheng wasn't even ten million!

Almost everyone in the city knew about the scandal now. Especially with Shen An's final remark, Zhicheng Pharmaceutical had been pushed to the forefront of the storm, with all fingers pointing directly at them.

Netizens left comments:

"Zhicheng Pharmaceutical is complete trash. A billion-dollar corporation actually doing such dirty things!"

"Exactly, scumbags! Luring the elderly into donating blood—they have no conscience!"

"The chairman of Zhicheng Pharmaceutical needs to come out and give us an explanation!"

"Make Xu Tianming come out and apologize!"

Xu Tianming shut down the computer, his face deathly pale and liver-colored.

"You bunch of useless idiots, is this the job you did?"

"What use are you to me!"

In the office, several men stood stiffly with their heads bowed, not daring to utter a word. The thin man, in particular, was trembling; it was his idea to use the hospital for the blood collection scheme, and he had overseen it himself. Now that it had blown up in their faces, he knew he was in deep trouble.
