Xiaoming frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice, "At first, I really thought it was Hu Xiaobei who secretly poisoned the water before. But now, he's still so calm, so, I think it shouldn't be him who poisoned it! Maybe... maybe the water in this source is problematic from the beginning! Anyway, we're betting on him."

At the end of his speech, Xiaoming looked confident...

In his view, whether Hu Xiaobei poisoned it or not, the outcome would be the same...

Because he's being shameless now, and Hu Xiaobei is completely helpless...

Upon hearing Xiaoming's utterly shameless explanation, Lin Hu's expression darkened slightly...

He wanted to say something, but ultimately Lin Hu chose to give up...

He knew that he and Xiaoming were in the same boat now, so he could only choose to follow him down this path to the end!

"I hope... I hope this Hu Xiaobei really doesn't have any special tricks left! Otherwise, we'd really be in trouble because of him."

Muttering this, Lin Hu looked expressionlessly at Hu Xiaobei...

To be honest, he felt a little uneasy because Hu Xiaobei had been so calm from the beginning...

He really seemed as if he had everything under control...

...

"I wonder what Master Xiaobei is thinking!"

"Exactly!"

"I'm curious too!"

As Lin Hu anxiously watched Hu Xiaobei, many onlookers began whispering to each other!

They didn't believe Xiaoming's previous accusations of Hu Xiaobei poisoning the water; not at all!

Really!

They didn't believe a single punctuation mark of it!

Because they knew Hu Xiaobei wasn't that kind of person, and he couldn't possibly have poisoned the water!

"Everyone, don't worry too much. Master Xiaobei naturally has his plans!"

Hearing these anxious words, an elderly person gently pushed up his glasses and spoke calmly!

Calmed by this explanation, they thought for a moment and then nodded lightly...

They knew that Hu Xiaobei was formidable, and thus it was indeed impossible for him to be defeated by such petty tricks!

As they regained their confidence, hurried footsteps approached.

Everyone quickly turned their heads to see Han Xueyao returning...

At this moment, she wasn't coming back empty-handed but with a set of brand-new equipment!

Everyone knew it was equipment for testing water quality...

Knowing this, everyone realized that Hu Xiaobei's counterattack was about to begin...

As they anticipated this, Han Xueyao put down the instrument in her hand...

Taking a deep breath, she tidied her slightly messy hair and softly said, "Xiaobei, I brought it!"

Hearing her tender voice, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work!"

"You little bastard, why are you being so polite with me!"

Rolling her eyes at his courteous words, she quickly leaned towards Hu Xiaobei and said, "You little bastard, do you really have the confidence?"

Glancing at her, Hu Xiaobei directly replied, "Auntie, have you just met me today? You know, I never do anything I'm not sure about!"

"That's true!"

Thinking for a moment, Han Xueyao stepped back a few steps!

She knew she was now in the best position to watch Hu Xiaobei's brilliant performance!

She really enjoyed watching Hu Xiaobei's performances; she felt she could never get enough...

...

As Han Xueyao stepped back, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the test equipment in his hand!

This equipment was brought by Ling Yun earlier, as it's essential for running a water plant...

"Hu Xiaobei, it's getting late! Since your equipment is here, shouldn't we re-test the water quality now?"

Xiaoming was restless!

Because he wanted to win quickly...

Hearing Xiaoming's slightly impatient voice, Hu Xiaobei glanced at him and said, "Since you're so anxious, of course we can!"

"Alright then!"

Shouting loudly with satisfaction, Xiaoming clapped his hands.

After attracting everyone's attention, he spoke, "Now, we will use the brand-new instrument brought by Hu Xiaobei to test this water again! If the water quality is the same as before, it proves that Hu Xiaobei poisoned the water, and by then, he will bear all the consequences! Hu Xiaobei, you should agree to this condition, right?"

With his questioning, everyone looked at Hu Xiaobei...

Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly and said, "I agree, of course I agree! But, what if this time the test shows the water quality is perfectly fine?"

"How is that possible!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

"You... Fine! If the test shows the water quality is perfectly fine, then... then I'll admit to framing you, and I'll bear all the consequences!"

"Alright, you said it! Hope you won't regret it then!"

"I said it! I definitely won't regret it, and I hope you stick to it then!"

...

"If I lose, I'll definitely stick to it!"

Nodding gently, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Hu and said, "Chairman Lin, you heard what Xiaoming said just now, I hope you'll make a fair judgment later!"

"Okay!"

Lin Hu agreed readily!

Seeing Lin Hu agree, Hu Xiaobei said, "Alright, let's start the test!"

"Okay!"

Smiling, Xiaoming looked at Wang Lihao and shouted, "Hurry up, come over here and test the water quality again. This time, slow down a bit so everyone can clearly see the testing process, okay?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Agreeing promptly, Wang Lihao picked up the testing equipment beside Hu Xiaobei and began adjusting and assembling it!

Watching Wang Lihao adjusting it, Xiaoming nervously watched, worried that Hu Xiaobei might tamper with the equipment!

Soon, he breathed a sigh of relief because he saw Wang Lihao nod gently...

He knew the instrument Hu Xiaobei brought was indeed alright...

At that moment, he knew he was sure to win...

"Hu Xiaobei, with so many people here, I want to see how you manage to end this!"

Thinking about how Hu Xiaobei would be utterly embarrassed later, he was gleeful...

Hu Xiaobei noticed his glee but just shook his head slightly.

Hu Xiaobei noticed the little tricks between them, but he didn't care because he never planned to tamper with the testing equipment!

The reason Hu Xiaobei suggested replacing the test equipment earlier was to buy time, allowing him to remove impurities from the water source!

...

"Damn, really need to consider changing jobs; continuing like this might take years off my life!"

Mutters Wang Lihao softly as everyone stared at him.

After this, he shakily placed the collected water sample into the instrument!

Once set, he looked at Lin Hu and said, "Chairman Lin, I'm ready here and can start the test anytime!"

"Since you're ready, let's start the test quickly; everyone is waiting!"

"Alright!"

Nodding gently, he pressed a switch!

With a 'ding,' the device began operating, and soon, a 30-minute countdown began...

In an instant, everyone stared at that timer, all hoping it would move faster...

Because once it's done, all the results will be out...
