Chapter 2447 - 676: Someone Stirring Up Trouble (Part 5)
The group of people hurling insults suddenly choked, a flicker of panic flashing in their eyes. The man’s heart seized with panic, his eyes darting around.
"Autopsy? Who dares to dissect my old man! Do you want my father to die without a complete body?!"
The old lady snapped back to reality, and started wailing again, "Oh my dear partner, how tragic your death is! They’re going to butcher you!"
Nie Yuan’s temples throbbed with the noise. They refused the check-up, refused the autopsy, and even refused to let their medicine be examined. In short, they were determined to pin it on us!
At this point, he really had no options. He looked helplessly at An Yiqing.
An Yiqing gave him a reassuring glance, then looked at the woman holding the medicine.
"Madam, are you certain this medicine was purchased from Xuanjin Hall?"
The woman glared, "What! You don’t want to admit it? The Xuanjin Hall’s mark is right here!"
An Yiqing squinted, shifted her step, and in a blink, appeared before the woman. She grabbed the woman’s bag, unzipped it, and dumped everything out.
"What are you doing?!"
In the woman’s shriek, An Yiqing bent down, picked up a receipt, and waved it in front of the group. "What is this?"
She took the receipt and read it word by word in front of everyone, "Xuanjin Hall Eliminate Blood Stasis Pill, thirty-eight yuan. Purchase date, December 4th. Xiaobao, what day was the old man registered?"
Chen Xiaobao immediately pulled out the medical case, "It was on the 30th of last month, and the medicine was prescribed on the same day."
"Oh? The medicine was prescribed on November 30th, but this receipt is dated December 4th, yesterday. Are you sure this medicine is from Xuanjin Hall?" An Yiqing squinted and smiled coldly.
The group fell silent, and the woman’s face turned a ghastly white. She had actually forgotten to destroy the evidence!
"This receipt... Your medicine is too expensive, the pharmacy near my home has this medicine, so I bought it! But it’s unopened! The box the old man took is from yours!" the woman stuttered.
"Right! Xuanjin Hall’s medicine isn’t only sold by you!" echoed the rest of them.
An Yiqing sneered, "Sorry, but Xuanjin Hall’s medicine is indeed only available here. Clinics’ medicines are all produced on a dedicated production line by Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, under Xuanjin Yulong, and are solely supplied to Xuanjin Hall. So, folks, other hospitals absolutely cannot have this kind of medicine. Where did this receipt of yours come from?!"
The woman’s face showed panic, she hadn’t known that Xuanjin Hall’s medicine had a special channel, otherwise, she wouldn’t have said that.
An Yiqing gave her a mocking look, then turned to the onlookers, "I suppose, among those present, many have Xuanjin Hall’s medicine. Actually, everyone doesn’t know that Xuanjin Hall’s medicine packaging has an anti-counterfeit mark. This mark is usually invisible, only appearing under ultraviolet light. Xiaobao, get me the lamp."
Chen Xiaobao immediately ran into the office and brought out a small ultraviolet lamp.
"Who has medicine on hand? Let’s test it out."
"I! I just bought some!" In the crowd, a patient raised a bag of medicine, shouting loudly.
An Yiqing walked over, casually picked up a box of medicine from the bag, and shone it with the ultraviolet lamp. Immediately, a complex pattern appeared on the box. This is a unique mark of the Medicine Sect, passed down for nearly a thousand years. Every stroke and line has fixed rules, absolutely impossible to imitate.
The patient was astonished to see the pattern appear on his medicine box. He took out other different kinds of medicine boxes, and all showed the pattern. An Yiqing tested many others, whether new boxes or those consumed for some days, without exception, they all displayed the pattern.
Moreover, the pattern would disappear after merely a second, unless dipped in a special solution from the Medicine Sect, which would make it continuously visible.
An Yiqing initially thought of this method to prevent counterfeit products, and did not expect it to be genuinely useful today.
After a round of tests, everyone was convinced and praised Xuanjin Hall’s awareness of anti-counterfeiting. An Yiqing approached the woman, "Ma’am, shall we try your medicine box?"
The woman gripped the medicine box tightly, taking a few steps back defensively.
An Yiqing smiled, "What’s wrong? Afraid to let me test it? Worried about being exposed?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Yuan, sensing the woman’s unguarded moment, snatched the medicine box. An Yiqing opened the box and took out the medicine leaflet inside, noting that one pill was already missing.
