Chapter 356 A Premeditated Trap

John quickly went out to take care of things, and Joseph remained as calm as ever.

Kathy, however, was not as calm as he was. She didn't want anything to happen to the Joseph's
Group.

Seeing that Kathy was worried, Joseph’s lips curled, "You're worried?"

"No." Kathy averted her eyes.

"Because of me, you're also worried that something will happen to the Joseph's Group." Joseph had
already seen through her.

"After all, I've worked at the Joseph's Group for a while," Kathy could only explain.

"Don't worry. I'm here. Everything will be fine," Joseph vowed.

Kathy looked at him. Joseph's words were always easy to convince her.

She also never doubted his ability.

Whether it was in his profession as a doctor, or as president of the Joseph's Group, he was capable of
anything.

In the evening, Kathy returned to the dormitory.

The news of Joseph's Group's faulty new drug inevitably leaked out, despite the public relations efforts
that were launched. Previously, sales of new drugs were skyrocketing, but now they were starting to
fall.

Kathy watched the news and didn't want to pay attention. But when it came to Joseph, she couldn't
ignore it.



Zofia leaned in. Looking at her computer, she shook her head and said, "I've heard that it's a pretty big
deal and could be fatal."

"It won't," Kathy said quietly.

"I hope not, either. The drug is inexpensive and effective. It's a boon for patients. It would be a shame if
it did get pulled from the market."

"I believe in the Joseph's Group."

Zofia looked at her, "You really love him, even with his company. What drug did Joseph give you to
make you trust him so much?"

Kathy was stunned, then laughed and didn't deny it.

Zofia simply could stand it! How could they be so lovey-dovey!

The Joseph's Group was prompt and cooperative in their approach to this matter. The FDA checked
the drug and investigated all the test reports at the time, and found no problems.

It was just that public opinion on the Internet was still all questioning the drug.

The reporters had blocked the hospital. Now the accident victims were being treated at the Central
Hospital, waiting for the results of the hospital report.

In the meantime, Joseph was also in the Central Hospital. He didn't know where the reporters were
getting their information and came upstairs to block him ...

The scene at the hospital had been broadcast live, and Zofia handed the phone to Kathy with a video
of the reporters about to interview Joseph.

The reporters had been stopped by bodyguards, but they had already made a mess of the hospital.



Kathy had a worried look. She was going to class later, but these reporters would definitely interfere
with Joseph's recovery...

"Zofia, everything's going to be okay, isn't it?" Kathy asked apprehensively.

"Of course. Didn't you see how fit those bodyguards were? Those reporters can't get in."

Zofia wasn't worried though. But seeing Kathy's worried face, she frowned helplessly, "If you want to go
over there, just go. Isn't your class going to suspend later?"

"What?"

Kathy picked up her phone. Sure enough, just now, she received a notice from Dr. Watson that today's
lab class had been moved to tomorrow night.

Then later she just didn't have a class.

"That has nothing to do with me either." Kathy shook her head.

If she went over there, she'd probably only make matter worse.

She would have been better off watching the live broadcast.

But the reporters were very agitated, and even though the bodyguards stopped them, some of the
troublemakers started beating them up. The scene was very chaotic.

Gradually, the live camera was also smashed by something, and the live broadcast had to be stopped
...

Kathy frowned. She clicked the screen repeatedly but still couldn't see anything.



She opened Weibo and tried to search for news, but much of it was negative news about the Joseph's
Group. The situation was serious enough. Although Joseph's Group had clarified that there was
nothing wrong with the drug, the number of patients who had accidents was rising, and it was seriously
affecting the drug's reputation and the Joseph's Group's credibility.

At this point, she saw a post from a reporter who said he had rushed into Joseph's ward.

Kathy really couldn't sit still. She immediately took a taxi to the hospital.

On the way, she kept an eye on the hospital situation.

Because the press was blocking the hospital, it could no longer operate normally. Security guards were
at the door, and no one could go in now.

Kathy knew the place well. She found her way up the stairs to the inpatient door, but she was still
surrounded by reporters who already came in.

“I think the Joseph's Group will be finished this time. The company had resold a large number of drugs
before, and now the new drug is in trouble. They're really unlucky ..."

"But it's Joseph who runs this company. It's Joseph. He's a doctor himself. How could he get a
questionable drug on the market?"

"Yes. I believe in Dr. Joseph's character, but now the new drug is a real problem, isn't it?"

"Please believe in Dr. Joseph and the Joseph's Group," Kathy's voice suddenly rang out.

The two reporters froze and looked at the woman in front of them.

"There will be no problems with the drugs of the Joseph's Group," Kathy repeated.



"Isn't there an accident now? If the medication was really okay, how come there are so many patients
..."

Hearing this, Kathy couldn't argue for a moment.

She didn't know anything about those patients.

But they had been causing a panic. She was aware of that.

Such a thing is more like a premeditated frame-up.

The elevator doors opened and they had arrived at Joseph's ward.

The corridor was empty and there was no one there.

Kathy ran over worriedly. The door was open, but no one was inside.

Where was Joseph?

Two reporters followed her in. But soon they received the message, "Joseph is downstairs. Let's hurry
over there!"

They quickly turned around and went out, and Kathy went down with them.

By this time, the hospital report had come out. The patient's condition had nothing to do with the new
drug from the Joseph's Group, but rather with an infectious disease that had recently become
prevalent.

Patients were not satisfied with the results.

"How did I get an infectious disease? We only took this medication!"



"Exactly. Don't ever try to cover it up ..."

"Now that the results are out, please don't blame this matter on the new drug. Because this drug is new
to the market, I know that people are bound to be skeptical of it. We will also actively accept everyone's
opinions. But if there is a deliberate attempt to smear and discredit the Joseph's Group, we reserve the
right to sue." Joseph's words rang out loud and clear.

John, who was by his side, released all the details of the drug. The patients had all taken the drug, but
they all had one thing in common: they had all returned from out of town a week before. They had now
confirmed that they had contracted the infectious disease.

Kathy stood at the elevator. She looked over the crowd and landed on Joseph's slender figure.

He had always been distinguished enough to attract attention.

Even with his crutches, he was still dazzling.

"No ... I don’t have an infectious disease ..."

Suddenly, a radical patient seemed to go crazy and indignantly rammed into Joseph.

John quickly reacted to block the patient, but his hand had already reached out...
