Chapter 516 Being Ganged Up On
As the bodyguards escorted the man to the break room, people from the research center followed suit.
Although they had never encountered such a situation, they were sure their vaccine was not deadly. After all, they had done multiple tests on the lab rats before proceeding with clinical trials. Most of the medicine used at clinical trials would not harm the human body. Even if there was, it would not cause the death of someone.
“Why don’t we let the specialists handle this? I’m all for the vaccine being tested again to ensure there is nothing deadly inside,” the people from the research center said confidently.
Then, Nicole lowered her head and looked at the man while smiling. “Do you think that I’d believe your words? If there really was something wrong with the vaccine, why did you cremate her body and not keep it as evidence?”
The man trembled as he listened to her words. At first, he thought he could let this matter spread for a while, but he never expected Nicole to retort his words. As long as he kept saying that his sister was dead because of the vaccine, he would get a lot of money after all of this was over.
Nonetheless, his sister had been cremated, so there was no evidence. Even if there was, all he had to do was play innocent, saying that he was furious about his sister’s death to the point that he caused a stir.
“The doctor said that the virus infected her. If I didn’t cremate her, what would I have done if the virus spread?” The man insisted, feeling like he hadn’t done anything wrong.
When Nicole heard his words, she chuckled and looked at him. “This matter will put the country in a crisis. Are you sure that nothing will happen to you after making a ruckus? Do you believe the government will send an investigation group to check on this?”
“It is true that my sister died because of your vaccine. I’m not lying, and you guys can’t threaten me with this!” the man gritted his teeth and said, for there was no going back at this point.
“In that case, let’s investigate it. However, if you talk nonsense during the process, I don’t mind appealing a slander charge to make you stay in prison for a couple of days.” With that, she asked the bodyguards to let him go.
At this moment, the whole research center was panicking. They didn’t know why their vaccine had killed someone, for this was a serious matter.
“What should we do? I’m sure that there is nothing wrong with this batch of vaccines. If it gets delayed, the virus will kill thousands of lives a day since the situation in Espad is bad!”
Nicole knew what the person meant, but there had been a dead case on their vaccine. Plus, all the reporters had heard the man’s words, and they would tell the public about this. Thus, the vaccine definitely had to be confiscated.
“Our first matter in hand is to solve the man’s problem. Since there were many reporters at the conference, his words will travel regardless of their authenticity,” said Nicole.
Listening to her words, everyone went silent since she was right about it. No matter what happened, this matter should be their topmost priority.
Just when they thought all they had to do was investigate this matter, many citizens gathered around their hotel the next morning. They held a banner that said the research center treated human lives like dirt.
Many people who had injected the vaccine wanted an explanation from them. After all, the research center had made it clear that there were no potential risks when they were searching for volunteers. However, now that someone had died, the volunteers would also die if there was anything wrong with the vaccine.
Humans were afraid of death, and they would become a madman when something could lead their life to danger.
While an angry mob surrounded the people at the research center, Nicole was back at the Gardner Residence. She only noticed it when she arrived the next day and saw that the hotel was surrounded, and many people were cursing them while holding up signs.
