"Damn it, time is passing way too slowly!"

Wang Xiaoming gritted his teeth, muttering angrily...

From the very beginning, he's been fixated on that timer.

Yet even now, the timer had only ticked forward a little bit, leaving him frustrated to the point of madness...

Hearing Wang Xiaoming's muttering, his subordinates also took a deep, exasperated breath...

Honestly, it's not just them; everyone present is quite tense!

No!

There are some exceptions, namely Xiaobei and Han Xueyao...

Xiaobei wasn't anxious because he knew he didn't need to be.

Han Xueyao wasn't anxious because she trusted Xiaobei, knowing there was no real need to be tense.

...

"Finally, it's almost time!"

Seeing there were only thirty seconds left, Wang Xiaoming smiled!

From the beginning until now, he's been staring at the monitor to the point where his eyes are bloodshot...

"Soon! The little red light on that instrument is about to turn on! At the same time, that piercing alarm will sound!"

Thinking this, Wang Xiaoming prepared to listen carefully with a manic grin...

But soon, he was dumbfounded because when the time came, the red light didn't illuminate, and the expected alarm didn't sound!

"What… what is going on?"

Thinking this, Wang Xiaoming swiftly looked at the instrument...

At this moment, he saw the lab report was out...

His eyelids twitched slightly as he quickly stepped forward.

After pushing Wang Lihao aside, he grabbed the report in his hand!

After examining it carefully for a moment, he was dumbstruck...

"This is impossible, this is impossible, this... this is completely impossible!"

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoming's hysterical outburst, Xiaobei calmly said, "Wang Xiaoming, what's impossible? Speak clearly; if you don't, everyone will be confused!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's teasing, Wang Xiaoming thought of something and instantly pointed at Xiaobei, shouting, "You… you… you surely did something, surely… surely that's what happened!"

Examining his nearly twisted face, Xiaobei innocently responded, "Wang Xiaoming, you're spewing baseless accusations! I'm been standing here the whole time, haven't done a thing!"

"You..."

Wang Xiaoming was about to say something but was coldly interrupted by Lin Hu!

"Stop babbling already. Let me see the lab report in your hand!"

Hearing Lin Hu demanding the lab report, Wang Xiaoming's face turned extremely unpleasant!

"This..."

"What? Can't you hear what I'm saying?"

Seeing Wang Xiaoming's hesitation, Lin Hu's gaze cooled to the extreme!

To him, he's the Chairman of the Spring Water Association, giving orders in front of many people, he should be followed unconditionally, yet Wang Xiaoming didn't obey, which instantly annoyed Lin Hu!

"Yes, I... I heard!"

Despite being a bit unwilling, he had no choice but to hand over the report!

At this moment, he was still unable to accept what was happening...

The reason was the lab report's data was completely normal, meaning there was nothing wrong with the water source.

In his view, this was absolutely impossible, hence the earlier loss of sanity...

Taking the lab report, Lin Hu looked at it carefully, and instantly understood why Wang Xiaoming lost his mind earlier!

"What exactly is going on? Why is there nothing wrong with the test results? Did Xiaobei really tamper with the instrument?"

Thinking this, Lin Hu heard Xiaobei gently speaking!

"Chairman Lin, is it time to announce the results now? Everyone is waiting!"

Upon hearing this gentle reminder, Lin Hu and Wang Xiaoming involuntarily twitched...

Lin Hu knew, it was indeed time to announce the results...

But he hesitated...

Because he knew that by doing so, his 20% stakes would completely vanish!

"No way, that 20%, I must find a way to get it, must!"

Mumbling greedily, he smiled and, pretending calmness, said, "Don't worry, sometimes equipment can malfunction, and I think the device you brought has problems! To ensure fairness, let's use Wang Xiaoming's equipment to test again!"

Upon hearing such a proposal, Xiaobei gazed deeply at him...

"Seeing is believing!"

At this moment, Xiaobei truly grasped a deeper understanding of this saying!

While Xiaobei looked at him flatly, Wang Xiaoming heard Lin Hu's words!

Instantly, he seemed invigorated, loudly screaming, "Yes, there must be a mistake, let's... let's test again, let's... let's test again!"

Pulling away his gaze, Xiaobei calmly said, "Testing again? This is not what was agreed upon!"

"Yeah, you guys are trying to backtrack!"

"Right!"

"Shameless!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's words, all the onlookers gathered themselves and instantly, they unhesitatingly chimed in!

Previously, the outcome was supposed to be announced after the test results, yet now, they were going back on their word...

Upon hearing the unified rebukes, Lin Hu's eyelid twitched...

At this moment, he really wanted to ditch this garbage, but he couldn't bear to lose that 20% profit...

"Damn it! Might as well see it through!"

Mumbling, Lin Hu emotionlessly whispered, "I know, it's not as agreed upon! But, it isn't excessive either! Testing a little more is also to ensure the losing party accepts the result wholeheartedly! What? You disagree? Are you afraid the retest might yield different results?"

"Yeah!"

"Are you guilty?"

"I think so!"

Upon hearing Lin Hu's rebuttal, Wang Xiaoming and his men seemed invigorated, crazily yelling...

They knew they had to retest, otherwise, they'd face an utter defeat...

Seeing they had reached an agreement, Xiaobei smiled...

"Fine! I agree to retest the water quality, but what if the result is the same this time?"

"If that's the case, it means Wang Xiaoming tampered with the water to frame you, and then I'd make sure he pays the price!"

"Deal!"

Agreeing readily, Xiaobei temporarily stepped back!

Seeing Xiaobei backing down, Lin Hu breathed a slight sigh of relief, quickly looked at Wang Xiaoming, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry and use your equipment for another thorough test!"

"Huh? Yes!"

Quickly agreeing, he took a deep breath, and in the next second, looked at Wang Lihao...

Earlier, Wang Lihao was stunned by the test result and hadn't gathered himself!

"You fool, truly a fool!"

Knowing Wang Lihao was absolutely unreliable, he cursed and prepared to do the test himself...

Having sorted his thoughts, he began adjusting the testing equipment...

"Earlier... earlier it must've been an illusion, this... there can't be nothing wrong with the water, impossible!"

While adjusting, Wang Xiaoming continued to mumble...

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming was pleading in a low growl because he knew he couldn't afford to lose...

He previously invested all his money in this water plant, so if something went wrong here, the loss would be disastrous...

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoming's muttering, his subordinates' expressions subtly shifted...

They were also nervous because they knew losing now meant the end of everything...

Regret!

At this moment, they truly regretted offending Xiaobei...

But they knew it was too late to regret now, so at this moment, they could only hope the upcoming test results would dramatically change the situation...
