Let’s See Who Dies First!

Swindling someone?

Wu Jie snorted a laugh in retort, “At this point, the person getting swindled is me, right?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Tan sighed.

He waited for two seconds before speaking,

“In fact, we both understand if the representatives from these twenty-something pharmaceutical companies could be trusted, then pigs could fly!”

“Exactly because we know this, we have been racing against time to achieve our strategic objectives!

Unfortunately…”

Wu Jie smiled and said, “There’s nothing unfortunate about it.

As long as Elder Tan’s goals are met, that’s good enough, and as for my personal matters, let me handle them myself!”

“What do you plan to do?” Elder Tan asked seriously.

Wu Jie glanced at Zheng and pondered for a moment,

“My idea is…”

After expressing his thoughts concisely, Elder Tan fell silent for a full half minute.

“While it would be satisfying, it could also bring big problems, and if it doesn’t go well…

you could really end up completely discredited!”

“I don’t care!

What’s the use of reputation?

It’s not like you can use it as food!

Stop trying to persuade me and just do as I say, quickly!”

“Alright!

I’ll let you have your way this time!”

As soon as the phone call ended, Zheng couldn’t help but raise his thumb.

“Bro, you’re so cool!

You’re probably the first one who dares to assign tasks to Elder Tan!”

Wu Jie huffed a laugh.

“I’ll start to get busy with business during this time.

Over at the Security Bureau…”

“Don’t worry!

We’ll only escort you to safety, not hold you back!”

Zheng promised, patting his chest.

Wu Jie nodded slightly, “Okay, then take me back to Tianyuan Haoting!”

“Er…

alright!”

Zheng didn’t feel like persuading or asking anymore.

After all, Wu Jie had made up his mind, and not even nine cows—or perhaps nine aircraft carriers—could pull him back.

The sedan slowly drove away, growing increasingly distant from the heavily surrounded headquarters building.

Soon after,

Tang Xiao and her father, having received Wu Jie’s call, also left work.

However, as they drove away, they could only be escorted by police cars, as the crowds were too massive.

…

Almost at the same time,

On the Super Cruise Ship Brune, which was sailing on the international high seas,

A group of high-ranking members from the Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association were brainstorming and pooling their wisdom.

The Detox Pills were just too profitable.

The four auctions that had already ended had sold a total of 260,000 Detox Pills.

The total transaction amount was over 70 billion yuan.

Even if calculated with the common 70% gross profit margin of the pharmaceutical industry, that would be close to 50 billion yuan in gross profit!

Despite Wu Jie’s generous contributions to the nation, using the principle of exchange at one to six, he had paid an enormous price with over a hundred thousand Detox Pills.

Nevertheless, even if the near 50 billion yuan profit was halved, that still amounted to over 20 billion yuan!

It was just too damn terrifying!

What other business throughout history could be more lucrative than this?

The Muto Conglomerate had failed to realize their dream of making a fortune, but now Wu Jie was realizing it for them.

The Sakuragi Hana virus they had released was helping Wu Jie amass a fortune and aiding the prosperity and strength of Liuli Continent.

Such astonishing profits…

Such exorbitant prices…

Though the efficacy of the medicine was indeed excellent, as Watanabe Taizo, who was the first to receive over fifty thousand Detox Pills, had successfully treated thousands of society’s elites, dignitaries, and wealthy individuals, even curing their cancer, the effectiveness was fully verified.

Yet, the greater it was, the more it drove people crazy with envy.

Because of this,

The Auxiliary Business Association went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to contact many international media and internet self-media, whispering in ears and fanning flames.

Benefiting from the virus epidemic that was truly causing distress and worries, this stirring of the pot indeed hit a sore spot for many people.

Moreover, many news outlets loved to chase hot topics, create buzz, and attract attention, making a mountain out of a molehill; let alone something that was already earth-shattering.

As a result,

The instigators of this all created the largest public condemnation frenzy in human history.

Unfortunately…

The target of all this, Wu Jie and Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group, remained without any statement.

But time waits for no one.

They immediately began to incite and prepare to implement their second set of plans.

This plan had to be executed with force, so as the Vice Chairman, Hittory had a long talk with his elder brother Perrio and then went to communicate with representatives of the pharmaceutical companies from more than twenty countries.

Everyone had to unite to strive for benefits!

…

At midnight,

The auction’s dedicated website updated its data on time.

During these twelve hours from noon to midnight, it detailed which relics had been returned and how many had passed inspection.

Actually, all countries were very clear about the amount of Detox Pills they would receive based on the one-to-six exchange ratio, and there were no objections.

The most returns, of course, came from the pharmaceutical companies; their economic strength might not be strong, but they sure had a lot of lost cultural relics.

And once the data updated, the eligible countries quickly clicked ‘collect.’

After two to three days of refinement, the dedicated working groups of each country were now very familiar with the operations.

Once collected, the orderly packed Detox Pills would be delivered to Tianyuan Medical Center within about an hour to be handed over to them.

Then, they’d be transported back to their countries on planes that had brought over the artifacts.

However…

Tonight was eerie.

Over sixty-four thousand Detox Pills were put up for free auction.

Previously at the auctions, as soon as they were released, the pharmaceutical companies from twenty-nine countries, either alone or in alliances, would rapidly make offers.

But this time…

As time slipped by, the auction deadline was about to close, and still there was no bid from any of the pharmaceutical companies.

When even the last second had stopped.

The auction result came out immediately, but it was the glaring word ‘Unsold’.

None of the pharmaceutical companies from the twenty-nine countries had made an offer within the allotted time, so the result could only be unsold.

Not long after the result came out, Elder Tan made a phone call to Wu Jie.

At this moment.

Wu Jie and his family of three were sitting around the table having a late-night snack.

“The only cure for the Sakuragi Hana virus, including its efficacy for other stubborn diseases, is really unwanted now?”

“It’s quite apparent that these twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies have conspired together to wage a war of attrition against you!”

Wu Jie laughed, “It doesn’t matter!

After all, we don’t have a virus epidemic back home, they are the ones in deep trouble.

Since they are determined to fight a war of attrition, then let’s wear them down, and see who can’t hold on first!”

Elder Tan hummed a few times in agreement, then said,

“The recovery work of the lost cultural relics doesn’t need to be taken too seriously either.

We just need to recover the important and valuable ones, and those pieces of rusty metal are no longer of great significance!”

Wu Jie could tell what Elder Tan meant by that.

He wanted to unshackle Wu Jie, to let him fight more freely, without having to worry about the unrecovered artifacts and feel compelled to submit to them.

“That works for me!

However, let’s continue the artifact recovery as usual, let’s have the experts raise the recovery standards.

As for the bidding, I will stop participating.

I’ll find a reasonable excuse to temporarily halt the sales and see how long they can last!”

After some more casual chat, Wu Jie hung up the phone and immediately turned on the television.

The midnight news was being broadcasted.

Before long, the news anchor recited a long news script.

“In view of the severe situation of the Sakuragi Hana virus epidemic, our side has attached great importance to it and has swiftly instructed relevant departments to form a special investigation team to conduct an investigation in accordance with the law, and to keep the public informed of the latest developments…”

Involving the innocent would only be counterproductive to solving the problem.

It calls for all countries and citizens to wait patiently for the special investigation team’s findings.

Then came the real bombshell news.

Considering whether the Detox Pill was involved in overpricing, monopolistic sales, and whether there could be after-effects or side-effects, the special investigation team needed to conduct a thorough investigation.

Therefore, the Detox Pill would be suspended from sales indefinitely until the official investigation concluded.

Sales suspended!!

Just a few minutes earlier, the twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies had not participated in the auction.

So now, even if they wanted to buy, they couldn’t.

And the rationale was well-founded!

With so many people around the world making a fuss, it seemed quite reasonable for a responsible great nation to suspend the sale of Detox Pills and have a special investigation team delve deeply—it was the sensible thing to do!

This way, Wu Jie couldn’t practice monopolistic sales or seek exorbitant profits now!

As for whether this would lead to an interruption in drug supplies, causing some patients to suffer from lack of medicine and die in agony…

that remained unknown.

After all, with such strong international outcry, how could we face all humanity without a thorough investigation?

After watching the news, Wu Jie turned off the TV and immediately went online on his mobile phone to check.

Several departmental websites, official microblogs, and public accounts had all updated with the text version of the news release.

Without needing Wu Jie to say more, Tang Xiao was already making a call.

“Yes, immediately disseminate, at the fastest speed!”

After giving her command, Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group sprang into action.

They made full use of various media channels, swiftly forwarding the news, and published a prepared statement.

This statement was even more meaningful.

“…In compliance with the requests from relevant departments, our group will indefinitely suspend the pharmaceutical business of our subsidiary, Tang’s Pharmaceuticals!”

Such a statement might seem simple, but its implied message was profound.

Firstly, the ‘indefinite suspension’ was in line with the official news release, as the investigation itself was open-ended.

This suggested that the world would no longer have access to Detox Pills, and the restart of production…

well, that was anyone’s guess, just wait and see!

This was also a message to those agitated, extremed-minded individuals who had been up in arms—the production had already stopped, and the investigation was underway, so there was no need for further ruckus.

It was akin to a captured criminal who cannot be attacked further without risking moral high ground.

Finally, it referred to the ‘people of all the nations’, putting those domestic keyboard warriors and sanctimonious critics to shame.

Tang’s Pharmaceuticals has provided Detox Pills to the state for free, curing hundreds, including their favorite superstar, Bai Fengling, and continuously recovering cultural relics that had been lost overseas for many years.

It was one thing for people from other countries to bully the group, but for the domestic public to join in the fray with insults and accusations, ignoring the group’s resolution of employment issues, the economic drive, and charitable contributions…

In short.

Make a fuss!

Curse!

Agitate!

Isn’t the international public opinion crazy enough?

All the morbid slanders are coming thick and fast, all the threats and intimidation overwhelming.

Now it’s good, the indefinite halt in production and cooperation with the investigation is in place, and as for whether to hand over the Detox Pill formula, that’s a matter for later.

Want the Detox Pill for lifesaving and epidemic relief?

Then it’s an indefinite waiting game, and if you don’t survive seven days don’t blame me, for I am under investigation!

…

Of course.

This official response caused quite a stir.

The incident was already of high attention, with any whiff of news spreading quickly across the entire network.

Soon, many fools and media outlets were jubilantly declaring victory online.

Greedy, shameless businessman Wu Jie has finally met with misfortune, awaiting the strict sanction of law and the judgment of justice.

They believed that the power of public opinion had played a decisive role, upholding justice and morality, making an exceptional contribution to the common good of all humankind.

However…

The wise ones were instantly dumbfounded.

Indefinite production stop!

Now we’re in deep trouble!

Who the hell knows if the investigation will take days or months?

Perhaps, Wu Jie would not have been jailed yet when some places would have already perished…
