The online community also maintained a huge level of interest.

"Three days later, the truth will surface!"

"Stay tuned, exterminate the pests!"

"The nation's slayer is about to emerge!"

The information of over a dozen notable breeding households in Yangchuan City was dug up and shared online, leading many netizens to speculate about which families might be affected, sparking a lot of discussion and verbal sparring.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the vigorous inspection activity finally commenced one winter noon.

"Leader, the viewership has been climbing since morning and has now reached 32.76%, and it's still rising!" Yang Meng reported to the station's leadership through the communicator.

"Excellent, we'll start the live broadcast now!" An excited voice came from the other end of the communicator. The broadcast hadn't even officially started, yet the viewership had already soared, breaking several records along the way! Even the actual viewership of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala wasn't this high.

Of course, the Spring Festival Gala team would definitely report higher numbers.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Yang Meng from Yangchuan Television Station. Now, accompanied by Mr. Zhou from Yangchuan Fisheries Association and two experts from the province, we have brought professional testing equipment to the scenic Huating Fisheries Company..."

Yang Meng briefly introduced Huating Fisheries Company, like she was presenting an advertisement. Then, the two experts boarded a fishing boat with the camera crew and randomly cast nets using computer-selected coordinates, hauling in dozens of pounds of various freshwater fish.

Next, the two experts in front of the camera meticulously tested the fish that were caught. The tests were designed to be visually intuitive, using the latest equipment to display clear digital readings of various element levels within the fish. If any level exceeded the limit, the testing device would instantly alarm.

After a busy afternoon, all the fish that had been caught were finally tested, and the testing device's numbers had always been the safe green. This meant that there was no issue of hormone levels exceeding limits in the fish from Huating Fisheries Company.

Not only were there no hormone excesses, but the data also proved that the fish from Huating Fisheries, in terms of nutrition and meat quality, were slightly better than ordinary wild fish, offering good edible value.

Huating Fisheries Company passed the safety inspection, and the entire city breathed a sigh of relief. As Yangchuan City's largest fishery supplier, if there had been a problem with its fish, it would mean that most of the fish consumed in Yangchuan over the years contained hormones.

The television station was ecstatic; the program's viewership hit its peak during the broadcast, breaking through 35%! It was expected that no other program would surpass this viewership for a long time.

This also directly reflected the level of attention from viewers across the city, province, and entire nation regarding the incident!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After the broadcast, the internet was filled with praise that same evening.

"Raise fish with a conscience, be a person with a conscience!"

"Decisive action, appropriate handling, commendations to the Fisheries Association!"

"Don't eat fish this winter, but if you do, make it Huating's fish!"

```

And many continued to speculate, who among the remaining fish farmers committed such a disgraceful act?

In the following days, the Fisheries Association, the television station, and experts tirelessly investigated each farm! They even stationed people to guard the fish ponds 24 hours a day to prevent any tampering.

During this period, the inspection team did indeed find two small fish farms with issues. One farm was feeding their fish with swill, and another, which raised crabs, used a slightly higher dosage of disinfectant, resulting in crab meat that was a bit tougher.

However, these were minor issues that did not even qualify as violations, much less have any connection to the hormone over-standard issue. The owner of the fish farm, to prove that his fish were not harmful to health, even ate a few swill-fed fish in front of the camera.

As each fish farmer was eliminated from the list of suspects, the public's anxious hearts finally settled.

The television station's ratings remained high, but the viewers' attitudes had shifted significantly, from initial anger and tension to anticipation and curiosity, with many even looking forward to the unfolding drama.

Only one remained, the Naval Lake Zoo of Yangchuan City Zoo.

It was a simple problem, if in a group of ten, one is a murderer and after investigation, the other nine have alibis, then who is the murderer?

When all else is eliminated, the only one remaining must naturally be the culprit, a truth even children are aware of!

After a series of investigations, the truth seemed to surface, with all fingers pointed unanimously towards Naval Lake!

Before the inspection of Naval Lake, there had already been a large outcry online against the lake and the zoo.

Yangchuan City TV Station even dedicated a special program to the issue, with Zhou Jin as a guest and Yang Meng hosting. The entire program was an attack and accusation, implicitly and explicitly revolving around Naval Lake. Zhou Jin was particularly indignant, slamming the table live on air, stating that as the vice-president of the Yangchuan Fisheries Association, he was deeply pained by the emergence of such a disreputable fish farmer in Yangchuan and insisted on a thorough investigation to find the root cause and give the citizens of Yangchuan City an explanation.

As the villain of the piece, Naval Lake became 'infamous' this time around. Without spending a penny on advertising, it gained exposure not only throughout the city and province but also on many national media outlets, and even CCTV briefly mentioned it with a floating text message.

Wang Jian She had never expected the scandal to fall on Suming's head and hastily called him.

"Suming, tell me the truth, did you use hormones or not?" Wang Jian She's tone was very stern; if Suming's fish really contained hormones, not to mention Wang Jian She, even Mr. Sun could not save Suming.

Besides, in such an environment, which leader would come forward to speak for a widely condemned businessman?

Suming appeared nonchalant, laughing on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, if there's really a problem, I'll handle it as it should be handled; I won't make things difficult for you!"

From Suming's words, Wang Jian She sensed something was off and asked with suspicion, "You mean…"

"Mr. Wang, I'm a party member, how could I commit such a disgraceful act? Rest assured, I pledge with my party loyalty that there's absolutely no issue!"

Mr. Song, the zoo director, was also nervous. These past few days, he had frequent heart-to-hearts with Suming, and although he didn't say it directly, his implication was clear: If you really did something disgraceful, confess quickly. Perhaps you might receive leniency. At worst, you could sell your car, add it to the money from the last liquor sale, pay the fine together, and the old man could ask around to plead for you, hoping to avoid prison.

"Leaders, can't you have a little more faith in me?" Suming was exasperated, did he really look like a bad person?
