Super Zoo

Chapter 188 Happy or Not (First Update)

The inspection was over, and the scene became very awkward. Prior to this, almost everyone was certain there was a problem with Shuijun Lake. They were all primed to denounce and accuse after the inspection, but now that vigor was completely wasted, like punching cotton.

"Does anyone have anything to say?" Suming, leading the sniffer dog, walked into the crowd with a smile and said, "Why so quiet all of a sudden? Don't hold it in until you hurt yourself, okay?"

"Impossible! This can't be!" Zhou Jin was the first to break the silence. His hoarse voice carried a hint of desperation. He swiftly walked over to the fish that had been tested, randomly flipped them over a few times, then grabbed one of the inspectors as if clinging to a lifeline, and said excitedly, "Could it be that the instruments are broken, or did you make a mistake?"

The expert, a respected figure in the industry, a scientist from the province and an associate professor, was questioned about his professional expertise by Zhou Jin during the live broadcast. His face darkened instantly and, without a word, he shook off Zhou Jin's hand and said coldly, "If you think there's a problem with my skills, you're welcome to seek someone else."

Another expert also said, "Our inspections all followed scientific procedures, Mr. Zhou. If you think something is wrong, you'll have to figure it out on your own."

After that, the two began to pack up their testing equipment and didn't even glance at Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin stood there awkwardly, while Suming cheerfully approached the camera and said to the somewhat dazed host Yang Meng, "Now, it seems you should announce the results."

It was only then that Yang Meng snapped out of it. She took a deep breath to calm herself and reluctantly managed a stiff smile towards the camera, saying, "Dear viewers, as of today, the inspection team has checked all freshwater fish breeders in Yangchuan City, including Shuijun Lake, and has not found any hormone-fed fish!"

With every word Yang Meng uttered, Zhou Jin couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, feeling increasingly suffocated in his chest.

He simply couldn't understand. The fish stolen from Shuijun Lake by the bald man that day all contained high levels of hormones. Why couldn't they be detected today?

From the inception of the hormone incident to today, it had been only a little more than a week. Even if Suming had been on guard, it was impossible for him to have replaced all the fish in Shuijun Lake!

Moreover, Zhou Jin had long anticipated this move. Before the inspection team arrived, the Fisheries Association had already sent people to monitor all fish breeders to prevent them from getting wind of the inspection and secretly dealing with the problematic fish, swapping them out.

He thought he had it all under control, but now that nothing could be detected, hadn't all his efforts and the money he spent been in vain?! Find adventures at empire

Then everything went dark, and he couldn't hear anything anymore, collapsing to the ground.

The scene instantly turned chaotic, as the crowd only saw Zhou Jin's face looking quite wrong, frighteningly pale, as he spoke before suddenly vomiting a large mouthful of blood and fainting.

"Quick, call 120, Mr. Zhou is so happy that he vomited blood and passed out!" Suming shouted with immense concern.

Soon, the ambulance arrived at the zoo, and the medical staff awkwardly lifted Zhou Jin into the vehicle.

It has to be said, sometimes reporters are like flies, with incredibly sensitive noses. The flamboyant inspection concluded abruptly, Zhou Jin spewing blood—everything seemed to give off an unusual scent.

So they immediately found a new lead and went after Suming, wanting to dig out some insider information from him.

But Suming had long since disappeared, and not just Suming, all the zoo's staff, as if they had agreed beforehand, turned into sealed gourds, refusing to express any opinion on the incident, no matter how the reporters questioned them.

Ultimately, the reporters also dispersed in disappointment.

The inspection of the aquatic products in Yangchuan City finally came to a close.

But this was not the end of the matter, Suming's retaliation was just beginning.

The grudge between Zhou Jin and Suming had become too complicated to tell right from wrong—Zhou Jin was a street tyrant and a gangster, and Suming did not consider himself a paragon of virtue either, it was merely the law of nature. When a tiger invades another tiger's territory, even if they can coexist peacefully, it is only temporary. Given any slight chance, both parties would try their best to kill each other. Since things had progressed to this point, there was no need to hesitate; it was time for a complete resolution.

The speed of media dissemination is astonishing. After the inspection of Shuijun Lake was completed, major news and online media outlets quickly made the news public.

On the surface, it seemed like a cause for universal celebration.
