706 Risen Again! (1/2)

American media was too powerful. When the trial began, almost all the TV stations in the world started broadcasting.

North Qiong Corp was a rising company and their fame rested on their Vitality Serum which was regarded as the ”Divine Essence of the East!” They were supported by many countries and those who bought the serum said that their bodies indeed underwent some positive changes.

And yet, in the recent month, the western world defamed them and asked many ”victims” to step forward and talk about the dangers of using the Vitality Serum, including damage to children's intelligence, developing physical disabilities, cancer and producing doping effects.

North Qiong Corp immediately went from being a reputable high-tech company to a fraud company that took money and lives.

”Public trial? Hm! All of them should be sentenced to death!”

”She looks pretty beautiful, but why does she have such an evil mind?”

”Just shoot this female demon who killed so many people.”

Many people who were watching the broadcast were cheering. Only a minority—who had tried the Vitality Serum and experienced the changes in their bodies—disagreed but there were too few of them.

At Yan Jin Film Academy.

Ningxin suddenly yelled, ”Fei Fei, isn't Fang Qiong, the CEO of North Qiong Corp, Chen Beixuan's fiancée? The United States is holding a public trial against her.”

”What?”

Xu Rongfei turned around in shock.

Wasn't Fang Qiong the girl in a white shirt on the screen?

Xu Rongfei was startled. She knew Chen Fan very well and certainly knew Fang Qiong's status in Chen Fan's mind as well. Since the United States were trying Fang Qiong publicly, did this mean that Chen Fan was in danger?

At the Fang family's mansion in Jin City.

Su Susu hugged Fang Mingde and cried her eyes out as she watched her daughter being interrogated on TV.

Fang Mingde also turned pale; he clenched his fists as he gazed at the screen. That was their only daughter; their only child, and their biggest pride.

Even so, she was being tried in front of the entire world and might even be sentenced to death, which was a complete humiliation!

At the mansion of the Wang family on the North Mountain.

Wang Keqin was thrilled. ”Dad, Mom, the United States is trying the CEO of North Qiong Corp, Fang Qiong. Chen Fan will definitely surrender to save his love.”

”That's great. They better sentence her to death. I want this bastard to know the feeling of losing his loved one!” Xue Hongmei gave an evil smile.

Many other members of the Wang family cheered.

Only Wang Zhongguo frowned. Chen Fan… wouldn't be threatened that easily, right?

Many people in Zhong Hai, Hong Kong, Wu Zhou and Chu Zhou City, who knew or did not know Fang Qiong, were looking at the girl in the dock on the TV.

Countless people stopped what they were doing and watched the broadcast.

This was the most influential trial with the most views throughout history, which had surpassed the one in Tokyo during the Second World War. At least one billion people were watching and the number was still increasing.

All the underground forums were in silence.

”Something big is going to happen!”

The trial soon began.

Nine superior judges of the United States were presiding over the case. They enjoyed lifelong power, and could try the Presidents and adjudicate any company or country in the world.

The only female judge sitting in the middle, Susan Lean, said seriously, ”Suspect Fang Qiong, you've been charged with fifty six crimes, including murders, crimes against humanity, manufacture and sale of toxic drugs, crimes against the world, along with deeds of similar graveness. Under your leadership, North Qiong Corp has caused thousands of deaths. Do you plead guilty?”

”I refuse to plead guilty. Several countries in the world are trying to frame me and North Qiong Corp. I was invited by the CEO of the Star World Corporation for an interview in the United States. How could you arrest me?”

Fang Qiong looked up with a determined face.

”You mean these allegations are all false? The claim that 1548 people died after using the Vitality Serum is slander? The evidence provided by France, Germany, England and Japan was forged?”

There was a hint of disdain in Susan Lean's eyes.

Someone in the jury was sneering. What kind of company could make a dozen countries collaborate to fabricate evidence? No matter how strong the company was, it was an ant in front of the superpowers.

”Yes,” Fang Qiong said firmly.

During the trial.

Many news were sent to North Qiong Pavilion through Kunlun.

”The Pentagon has already issued the highest war alert and mounted all missiles on the launchers. All battleships have left the port and the troops have mobilized every member they had. The Department of Defense even issued an order to spare no effort in case of war.”

”The USS Abraham Lincoln has departed from the Port of Yokosuka in Japan.”

”The five nuclear submarines at Guam's military base seem to have entered Japan.”

”Several B-2 Stealth and Strategic Bombers have departed from the Air Force base in California, heading west…”

The faces of those in the North Qiong Pavilion looked more serious as the news arrived; it meant that the American Army was already prepared for a nuclear war.

”Sir, the American Special Envoy has arrived in Yan Jin. He said they're sorry for what happened in the Blood Sea, since it was apparently a misunderstanding. They hope that there will not be any conflicts between you and their country. Also, Miss Fang Qiong won't be tried, but she will stay in the United States as their guest for a while…” Azure Dragon said.

”Despicable!”

A'Xiu and the others were enraged.

On one hand, the United States was preparing for a world war. On the other hand, they hypocritically apologized and threatened Chen Fan with Fang Qiong at the same time, saying that she would be their guest for a while. How long would that be?

A year? Ten years? A hundred years?

Wang Xiaoyun looked worried.

If Chen Fan didn't do anything this time, the United States would go even further in the future.

Chen Fan remained silent and kept looking at the screen. The trial was still in progress.

”… There are many witnesses that can testify that they suffered from various physical disabilities, sudden illnesses and deterioration of their faculties after they drank the Vitality Serum,” Susan Lean continued.

The witnesses were summoned one after another.

They came from countries around the world, including England, Japan, France and mostly India. A skinny man cried and claimed that everyone else in his village had died after drinking the Vitality Serum.

Fang Qiong looked at all of this indifferently.

She didn't deny a thing. Even though North Qiong Corp had never sold any Vitality Serum in India, Fang Qiong knew it was useless to say anything. It was only power pushing the trial, not justice. This was international politics.

”Other than your own charges, there's another special accusation against your fiancé. The Japanese government claimed that he killed thousands of soldiers in Japan,” Susan Lean suddenly said.

Fang Qiong immediately blanched.

Those in front of the TV were stunned. Anyone who knew Fang Qiong was aware who her fiancé was.

Chen Fan!

The United States was going to file a lawsuit against Chen Fan as well.

Even though Susan Lean didn't say his name, the entire Dark World knew exactly who she was talking about.
