Chapter 28: Telling a Story (Edited)

This reasoning was indeed clear and coherent, with each step supported by solid evidence. Even the individuals involved began to doubt whether they had truly drunk that cup of coffee under the relentless bombardment of evidence.

What was even more remarkable was that the Umbrella Corporation hadn't said a word throughout the entire process. Yet, people had pieced together the "truth" on their own. This "truth" wasn't imposed on them by anyone; it was a collective conclusion they had formed, making them even more convinced.

As public opinion reached unprecedented heights, some reporters even uncovered that in a previous London subway fire incident, the Umbrella Corporation had donated a large batch of Baiyao, directly saving the lives of dozens of severely burned patients. Some of them didn't even have a single scar left on their bodies.

This valuable medicine worth tens of thousands of pounds was not only donated for free, but the Umbrella Corporation didn't even promote it. There were no news reports, and the donated medicine was rapidly dispatched from the factory without a proper company logo.

The only thing on the card that said, "May the world be free from pain," was a simple Umbrella Corporation logo.

"What the bloody hell is this British nonsense!" "What kind of treasure is this company!" In the end, the whole incident reached its climax with an open letter signed by Nobel laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini.

In that open letter, Rita presented a preliminary verification of the miraculous effects of Yunqi Baiyao and called on the industry to intensify research on the drug's underlying mechanism, believing that such research would help elucidate the mechanism of human cell regeneration, making a significant contribution to the advancement of human medicine.

With the endorsement of the most authoritative scientists, the effectiveness of Yunqi Baiyao received epic validation.

People were on the verge of celebrating. This wave wasn't just about the certification of Yunqi Baiyao; it fulfilled the enormous expectations in everyone's hearts.

Everyone's emotions were stirred to the fullest.

Hateful pharmaceutical companies! Corrupt bureaucrats! And the pitiable Umbrella Corporation! So honest, so simple, so earnest, and so kind, like a child, they were being ruthlessly beaten by a group of heartless people. Not only were their lives in danger, but their lifelong love (referring to the Baiyao formula) that had cost them an immeasurable amount of effort and investment was also on the verge of being stolen!

How much more could they endure?

Men of all ages in the UK were united in sympathy.

Pharmaceutical companies must die! Corrupt bureaucrats must die! Umbrella Corporation must rise!

Patrick held the newspapers from the past few days and felt a bit dizzy with happiness.

"Public opinion has completely turned in our favor! With such a massive wave of public opinion, the committee can't act unilaterally!" Patrick exclaimed excitedly.

He was a bit puzzled, though. How did this momentum suddenly emerge? Thinking back to how Murphy had plucked those few strands of hair, could there be some kind of magic involved?

Murphy, on the other hand, remained calm, as he had foreseen this turn of events, which he had orchestrated.

Stories have always been the core of attracting people's attention.

A good story should have a plot filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and each step should be supported by evidence. There should be suspense, a process of unraveling the truth.

All of these elements had been naturally provided by the involvement of wizards, factors unknown to Muggles.

Murphy only needed to give people a starting point for their imagination, and the rest would unfold on its own.

At the same time, a good story needed a character that people could empathize with.

Now, the Umbrella Corporation was that character.

A newly established company, determined to change the world, was much like his younger self when he first entered society. Full of pure and passionate dreams, they had plunged headfirst into the depths of society, only to be beaten down by life.

But unlike his former self, they didn't give up.

They were wronged, they were angry, but they still stood tall, persisting in doing what they believed was right.

Seeing them was like seeing another possibility for himself.

This young man's story of struggle and determination was something no one wanted to see the protagonist lose. Because no one wanted to see themselves lose.

When this story was slowly uncovered by people, Murphy knew that he had already won.

"He woke up?" Turning the news over, Murphy sighed. "I thought he might not wake up at all. This family is quite lucky."

Lucius hadn't died; Murphy learned about this news through Lisandro shortly after the fire. He had hoped that Lucius would stay in the hospital, and if he didn't, Murphy had considered paying him a visit to ensure his demise. However, to his dismay, Lucius had indeed awakened.

Nevertheless, Murphy wasn't surprised. He had prepared for the possibility of Lucius waking up.

He also knew that Lucius, having suffered such a huge loss, would never give up.
