Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Explosion Incident

”President Liu, don’t worry. That person is already at the end of his rope. If not for us, he would definitely be pushed to death by his creditors!”

”Alright, this matter will be handled by you personally!”

”Yes! President Liu, don’t worry, after this incident, if the Transparent Phone sells even one unit, you can chop off my head!”

President Liu nodded with a smile at the white-collar subordinate, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes: Cosmic Umbrella, oh Cosmic Umbrella, if you won’t let us live, we won’t let you live either.

Two hours later, in an extremely hidden laboratory, two men in suits were surrounding a ragged strong man.

One of the suited men was a very cold and arrogant young man. He rolled his eyes, looking at the strong man with disdain, yet still wore a smile, speaking flattering words as if they cost nothing:

”Mr. Li, rest assured, after this, the gambling debts you owe, our LG Group will pay for you. Additionally, we will give you a sum of money that you’ll never finish spending in your lifetime!”

The strong man inhaled, looked at the table next to him, a bit terrified, and unconsciously took a step back.

The table was piled with bombs, and a newly bought Transparent Phone was placed in the middle. The strong man asked the other two suited men: ”With so many bombs, I might die, I—”

The other white-collar man rudely interrupted the strong man, viciously saying, ”Even if you die, your family, President Liu will definitely take care of them until they’re old. The compensation from our domestic and foreign phone merchants will fill the whole room for your family!”

”Then, I’ll do it!” The strong man gritted his teeth and finally made the last decision.

”Good! Don’t worry, although our bombs are powerful, they won’t be lethal!” The two white-collar men assured, soothing the strong man with a few words, and left the laboratory.

Not long after, a loud explosion sounded in the laboratory, shaking even rooms hundreds of meters away. The two white-collar men exchanged glances, both surprised and pleased—surprised by the bomb’s power, pleased that the transparent phone from Cosmic Umbrella would suffer a heavy blow, never to recover.

The two met at the laboratory, and as soon as they opened the door, the lingering smoke from the bomb choked them into coughing.

After the smoke dissipated with difficulty, the floor tiles around the lab were already shattered, and the strong man was disfigured, lying in a pool of blood...

Shifting their gaze to the table, the table had burst apart, fragments blasted everywhere, but the damaged Transparent Phone had only a chipped corner.

Both men gasped, breaking out in a cold sweat.

One of them picked up the Transparent Phone, hefted it in his hand, and curiously said, ”Even after being blasted like this, the phone is still largely intact. This is beyond the current technical capabilities.”

”Yes, such an explosion couldn’t shatter the Transparent Phone; this technology requires LG Electronics to return to South Korea for thorough research, and strive to produce such a phone!”

”Isn’t it a bit early to say that?”

”Regardless, with this explosion, it’s impossible for Cosmic Umbrella’s Transparent Phone to sell even one unit!”

The two laughed sinisterly; a massive conspiracy was gradually unfolding.

In just a few hours, a renowned domestic website broke astonishing news: Cosmic Umbrella’s Transparent Phone exploded, the user disfigured and critically injured!

Beneath the headline, the website highlighted how a strong man, to buy a Cosmic Umbrella Transparent Phone for his daughter in college, scraped and saved, spending two months of wages entirely on the phone.

But the day after buying it, the phone exploded. The following footage showed the strong man, barely alive, silently accusing the Cosmic Umbrella Transparent Phone through the lens, condemning Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company for their shameless profiteering, treating consumers’ lives as a trifling matter.

A few seconds of video followed by footage of treatment conditions.

A bespectacled doctor casually told reporters, ”The explosion caused by the Transparent Phone is enough to threaten the user’s life. Our hospital has successively received dozens of patients injured by Transparent Phone explosions...

Beneath the video, several photos of the injured were displayed, among which the strong man’s photos were the most prominent, lying in a pool of blood on his home floor, with the chipped Transparent Phone at his side.

A father’s heavy love for his daughter, spending two months’ salary to buy a deadly phone.

Where is justice, where is fairness? Is such a conscience-devoid profit-seeking company still the Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company?

The video host, at the end, roared hoarsely, eyes vaguely tearing.

Such a video, although dramatic and exaggerated, undeniably proved effective—most people were unaware of the truth, and upon seeing such events, their first reaction wasn’t to uncover the truth but to engage in blind uproar, which easily led to a frenzied shift in public opinion.

Subsequently, under the influence of hidden forces, within hours, major domestic portal sites began reposting the video, directly placing the strong man’s bloody photos on the homepage, followed by commentary:

Tengxun Net: The Transparent Phone from Cosmic Umbrella is a failed product, and Jiang Cheng, as the legal representative of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, should take responsibility for it.

Sohu Net: Such a life-threatening company, such a deadly product, for this, is it a phone or a life that one buys?

NetEase: The Transparent Phone from Cosmic Umbrella is not as advertised; the tragedy that occurred will have many consumers reconsider.

Yangshi News Network: Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company has always been China’s top company, with its owner Jiang Cheng as a high-tech development talent, developing the Virtual Reality Device VI, which created a global buying frenzy. This time, with the transparent phone explosion incident, consumers will surely reassess.

Shengda Fund Network: Heart-wrenching, murderous profiteering, it’s none other than Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company.

Besides this, such news appeared worldwide, the explosion incident erupting all at once!

Simultaneously, as the Transparent Phone explosion event spread virally online, television also felt the impact; Modu TV Station’s technology channel interrupted the ongoing drama to directly invite three elderly professors for a symposium.

After flaunting those dizzying titles, one of the professors started from the structure of the Transparent Phone, detailedly demonstrating the cause of the explosion, finally lamenting remorsefully, ”Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company profits, earning blood money!”
