Chapter 1220: Insist He Made The Medicinal Pills
Fu Cheng could sense everyone looking at him. He clenched his fists before relaxing them.
Before anyone was able to come to any conclusions, he had already come up with a response. “I have genuinely made these medicinal pills. I do not know where Chairman Wang’s pills came from. However, my cousin did ask for some of my medicinal pills previously and I know she gave them to someone else.”
It would make much more sense if the pills were made by the same apothecary.
Fu Cheng made up his mind to say this when Chairman Wang said that the pills were given by his friend.
He could only hope that Chairman Wang’s friend did not personally make those pills.
Deputy Chairman Qin glanced at Fu Cheng and noticed his anxiety. He recalled Fu Cheng asking him about the Chinese herbs used during the exam. He paused before he made up his mind and looked at Chairman Wang. “Even if Fu Cheng wanted to win, he would never have cheated.”
Chairman Wang’s phone chimed. He did not answer Deputy Chairman Qin right away. Instead, he checked his text message first.
Huo Yao had sent it.
[Uh huh. I gave my friend a few of those medicinal pills. What’s wrong?]
When Chairman Wang saw the reply, he raised his head and said, “My friend mentioned she personally made those medicinal pills and happened to give her friend a few of them.”
Fu Cheng instantly turned worried. He had already started with a lie and everyone was watching him. It was impossible for him to admit he had cheated. Moreover, he was not entirely sure if Chairman Wang was just making this up to test him.
Fu Cheng paused before he said firmly, “I really made the pills myself. Also, everyone saw me making them. How could I cheat?”
“That is true. How could he have gotten away with it right in front of us?” One of the association leaders nodded. “Perhaps this is just a pure misunderstanding.”
After all, Fu Cheng was Deputy Chairman Qin’s disciple and people had a great impression of him. They automatically felt that he was a trustworthy man.
“Do all of you feel Fu Cheng made those pills himself?” asked Chairman Wang calmly.
Deputy Chairman Qin pursed his lips. “Fu Cheng made this without a doubt.” He paused as he glanced at He Shu before he continued. “Chairman Wang, I know you are protective of your disciple. I get it. However, you have to be fair, right?”
Fu Cheng felt slightly more relieved when his master took his side.
Fu Cheng could only insist the pills were his work.
Deputy Chairman Qin glanced at Chairman Wang’s phone. He could not allow them to continue harping on the subject. He simply said, “I am sure this is probably a misunderstanding. In that case, let’s announce the scores for the Apothecaries’ exam.”
The scorekeeper looked at Deputy Chairman Qin before glancing at Chairman Wang. Something was clearly fishy, but he could not afford to offend either of them. He stood where he was and hesitated.
Chairman Wang laughed when Deputy Chairman Qin brought up fairness. He nodded and looked at him. “Do you want fairness? Fine. I will show you what it means to be fair so that we do not malign anyone who is innocent.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he called Huo Yao.
Deputy Chairman Qin frowned upon seeing this.
