The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy

Chapter 173 Massacre in the ghost lands Part 1

As the woman with the horrific scar on her face started yelling and slandering Su Lin and her products, chaos and confusion descended into the elegant and crowded shop.

If the same thing had happened online, the effect might not be this good.

But since the woman came here in person to proudly display her damaged face, the visual effect was just too impactful to ignore.

Even Su Lin's previously loyal customers started becoming doubtful.

Though the company supposedly sold only organic herbal products, who knew what certain herbs did with continuous long-term usage?

Nowadays rates of high mortality diseases like cancer and stroke have increased without any obvious rhyme or reason.

Maybe the increased use of cosmetics or other harmful everyday items actually contributed to this surge.

Apart from the one or two who had already rung up their products, others started hesitating to purchase what was in their hands.

No matter what, this was a new company and not a previously established one like that of the Shi industries.

So, it was natural for them to doubt the validity and the safety of the products.

They might have gotten government approval on paper, but all that meant nothing in front of this scandalous accusation.

While people were hesitating, Su Lin looked at the angrily exploding woman, and calmly asked.

"Can you properly speak what happened or are you just going to keep shouting like this?"

The woman's anger and loudness instantly turned up a notch.

"Bitch. You ruin my life and now you want me to talk calmly with you?? I am going to drag you to the police right this instant. You better come with me."

She leaped forward as if she was trying to claw Su Lin's perfect pimple-free face with her dreadful nails.

Being a mere mortal, and wanting to hurt a foundation established cultivator? Dream on.

Su Lin had to only step aside lightly to avoid her slap.

But she didn't want the woman to hurt anyone else and tightly grasped her unruly hands.

The woman immediately got alarmed and started shouting even louder.

"Someone save me. Help Please. This bitch tried to kill me with this funky stuff and now, she is even harassing me more, right in front of the public!!"

Su Lin was almost tempted to shut her mouth with her other hand when she suddenly noticed a few new arrivals to the shop!

Out of nowhere, a dozen or so reporters were suddenly standing in front of their shop and taking videos of the 'helpless woman' who was being 'bullied' by the ruthless new CEO.

"Miss Su Lin, are you selling faulty products at your shop?"

"Are your products toxic for consumers?"

"Did your products result in the terrible scars and rashes on this woman's face?"

"Are you trying to manhandle the poor woman to hide the truth?"

The reporters surrounded Su Lin and started barraging her with random questions non-stop.

It looked like they just wanted to harass her with their incriminating questions and didn't actually want to hear any explanations or answers.

Runyan was biting her nails on one side.

Both the salesgirls were completely speechless and clearly out of their depth. How could they possibly mitigate a situation like this??

While they were all dancing on hot water, Ning Xuelo and her friend pleasantly enjoyed the unexpected drama unfolding in front of them.

This was going even better than they had expected! It felt really good to see this lucky bitch finally get what she deserved!

But there was still one thing that was bothering them. Why is Su Lin still looking so indifferent?

All this chaos aside, Su Lin calmly folded her arms and tapped her fingers on her elbow. The confusing situation unfolding around her suddenly seemed crystal clear.

This was an obvious calamity. Already their customers and public opinion were at an all-time low because of the long hiatus.

On top of this, if such a horrible scandal occurred on an opening day, then their customers might completely lose faith in their products.

Someone had definitely gone out of their way to make sure that their opening day was plenty eventful.

It could be any one of the annoying pests flying around her or perhaps even another competitor in the cosmetic industry.

So Su Lin did not waste any time trying to think about whose handiwork this was.

Instead, something entirely different was running through her money-grubbing mind.

Yes, this might be a calamity, but the opponent had vastly underestimated her troubleshooting abilities.

Well, technically it was not their fault, because they have absolutely no idea what she is capable of.

So instead of gifting her with an unmanageable scandal on day 1, they had rather gifted her some cheap free publicity.

Su Lin calmly took a step back and let the trouble brew some more. It looked like the reporters had a few more nasty things to tell her.

Whoever had set her up, had done a pretty good job this time around.

The wounds on that woman, the horrible burn scar, and the rash, everything was 100% original and on point.

They were not some cheap makeup that could be tampered with and easily removed to prove Su Lin's innocence.

This would have perfectly worked on someone else but on Su Lin?

After a while, when everyone had finished saying their piece, Su Lin silently walked up to the woman who was playing the role of the victim.

The reporters were clearly surrounding her, but somehow that did little to stop her from moving around.

In the blink of an eye, she was standing next to the woman who was wailing and bawling her eyes out.

Before anyone could react, Su Lin extended her thin hand and touched the woman's face.

And in the next instant, she started peeling a sort of mask from that woman's face.
