Chapter 93: Chapter 93: It’s Just the Beginning
The day the VN balm incident occurred.
Nora Northwood responded online to the other party, first apologizing for the trouble caused, then inquiring about the hospital they were staying at to see the examination results in person.
But the person stubbornly refused to tell her, even accusing her of making threatening calls.
"If you really want to apologize, then pay compensation of a hundred thousand yuan."
One hundred thousand yuan was definitely out of the question.
While the other party was playing the victim online, Nora came up with the most suitable countermeasure.
She opened a live-streaming app and demonstrated making balm and sachets in front of a large audience.
The space was small, just a little room, but it was tidily and warmly organized, making everyone forget they came to see the facts.
[Honestly, now I’m starting to doubt the online incident’s truthfulness.]
[This is hilarious; it’s obviously a solid case, yet there are fans still defending the store.]
[Exactly, the store is really cunning. Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false. Maybe you’re just doing this for show?]
In the barrage comments, anyone defending Nora was labeled a fan, having to endure all kinds of unpleasant remarks.
Nora paid no heed and continued preparing her materials.
"Actually, I know you probably won’t believe me, but today let’s set that aside. Today, I just want to introduce you to my workplace."
"This is actually a small room in my flower shop, as you can see. My workbench is very simple, just a small table."
She then began introducing the ingredients she used.
For each one she used, she would drop a little on her hand to test it.
Initially, everyone was discussing the injury incident, but gradually their attention shifted to Nora.
[Most of these are common items, not chemical reagents. How could there be burns?]
[I’m even more suspicious about this incident. Any med students who can explain what kind of reagent causes such burns?]
[Here we go with the cover-up again?]
[Has anyone noticed that these criticisms seem organized?]
[Unexpectedly been influenced to like this product.]
"Okay, that’s it for today’s live stream. If anyone has any questions about the ingredients, feel free to message me privately."
Nora’s voice was gentle, and even amidst all the insults, her demeanor didn’t change.
However, after this, the burn photos were re-uploaded online.
At first, it was being discussed among medical students, that such severe burns are usually caused by strong acids.
But each discussion was somewhat biased.
Eventually, the debate snowballed into a group of hospital professors discussing the matter.
"Usually, only strong acids could cause such corrosion, but that doesn’t match the online narratives. If it were strong acid, it wouldn’t take so long."
Someone left a comment asking if any of the ingredients Nora disclosed could cause that degree of burn,
but the professor just replied, thinking it was a joke, and didn’t respond further.
Lily Sloan watched as Nora effortlessly shifted the narrative, excitedly grabbing her hand, "Nora, it’s got to be you."
Unlike her delight, Nora appeared weighed down with concerns.
"This is just the beginning. We’re going to face much more ahead."
She chose to put it all on the line, utilizing public opinion to escalate the situation so that there was more focus and discussion on it.
The internet may have pushed her into an abyss, but she can use that same force to pull herself out!
