812: Chapter 812: Crushing with Intelligence!

Winning Without Moves!

World-shocked!

The globe in uproar!

An unprecedented public opinion storm raged for over ten hours.

Yet, it resulted in such an outcome.

Wu Jie and his Tang’s Pharmaceuticals were suspended indefinitely and subjected to investigation!

The news spread quickly around the world.

Especially for those eager to obtain the Detox Pill and eradicate viral pandemics and other diseases, people rapidly polarized.

Someone said, by observing how one approaches the same matter, one can distinguish between the smart and the foolish.

This message caused the vast majority of ordinary people to foolishly squander their ‘intelligence tax’.

Even many news media, entertainment stars, internet influencers, and self-media…

they also failed to see through Wu Jie’s ruse.

The reality proved that

Although the world has many people, and most people are not lacking in intelligence,

Most of them blindly follow trends and believe in rumors.

They make subjective assumptions and decide the truth of matters, allowing their emotions to form without thoroughly thinking through or pondering the deeper meanings.

Just like this time.

In the eyes of many, Wu Jie was suspected of monopolization and profiteering, Tang’s Pharmaceuticals was ordered to cease production, and faced joint specialized investigations from multiple departments…

Wu Jie was inevitably facing severe legal punishment and heavy fines.

Isn’t this the outcome everyone wished to see?

Good is rewarded, and evil is severely punished.

This must be a universally happy situation.

But they overlooked one thing: with Tang’s Pharmaceuticals ceasing production, who would produce the Detox Pill?

This is the only miraculous medicine capable of eradicating the Sakuragi Hana virus!

It is humanity’s sole hope for eliminating viral epidemics and regaining peace and stability!

If other pharmaceutical companies could reverse-engineer the Detox Pill, they wouldn’t have pressured Wu Jie to give up the formula and production process.

Initially, twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies from different countries were eligible to obtain some quantities of the Detox Pill in exchange for returning lost cultural relics, through a high-priced bidding process.

Even though it was limited, the daily supply was already enough to cure twenty thousand people.

But now…

All the virus patients’ hopes for survival were shattered.

This meant more than just an additional twenty thousand people dying from the virus globally every day.

It also signified that the glimmer of hope for survival that the people had hard-won was once again crushed.

Those who tried to use the Detox Pill to calm public panic have completely abandoned their previous efforts.

It’s as if the tens of thousands of precious cultural relics returned and the hundreds of billions spent…

were all for naught.

Unfortunately…

How can the common people see any of this?

They merely think it’s good that the bad guy is being investigated, forgetting that Wu Jie, this “bad guy,” holds the lifeline of the entire world!

Of course.

With billions of people around the world, how could there not be any intelligent ones?

Like those twenty-nine economically strong countries, they are not short of highly educated and exceptionally smart individuals.

They thought that by stirring up a media storm and not participating in the auction, they could force Wu Jie to back down.

But what happened?

Wu Jie employed a clever strategy of ‘advancing by retreating.’

Not only did he brilliantly avoid the countless condemnations and furious vilifications, resolving this earth-shattering public opinion crisis.

He also, with an “invisible hand,” delivered a fierce slap to the twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies.

With his intelligence, how could he not know that the leaks came from these very pharmaceutical companies?

Otherwise, how would insider information like the starting bid of 200,000 yuan, exchanging cultural relics on a ‘one-to-six’ ratio, and the Detox Pill curing other diseases…

How could such internal news become known to the world?

How could Wu Jie not understand that without the active support of numerous international forces, this public opinion storm couldn’t possibly have swept the globe?

Whoever is out there, nobody is a fool.

Wu Jie didn’t choose to come forward, grovel and weep in apology.

Nor did he succumb to the immense public pressure and surrender, handing over the recipe and process.

He didn’t issue announcements or videos, pleading about the difficulties of developing the Detox Pill or begging for global forgiveness.

He didn’t!

Nothing at all!

Faced with threats and coercions, faced with the lack of bids from various pharmaceutical companies…

Wu Jie pulled an ‘invisible hand,’ suspending the production of Detox Pills indefinitely and subjecting to investigation.

Want the Detox Pill to save lives?

Want the formula and process?

Then just wait!

Wait indefinitely!

Let’s see who can outlast whom, who will die first!

Wu Jie is not afraid of an investigation; at most, he’ll be accused of monopolizing the market by selling the Detox Pill at high prices.

Under the current anti-monopoly laws, such behavior constitutes “having a dominant market position.”

The punishment is the confiscation of illegal gains and a fine ranging from 1% to 10% of the previous year’s sales.

In other words, even if Wu Jie is severely punished according to the law, it is merely a huge fine.

As for the specific amount…

That still needs to be calculated in detail, after all, although Wu Jie sold billions of yuan worth of products, what was the cost?

After deducting the cost of recovering a large number of cultural relics for the country, what’s the illegal profit?

What if he is fined ten billion yuan?

What then?

But does Wu Jie lack money?

Just the international giants alone gave Wu Jie and his wife more than thirty billion Gold Coins.

Not to mention that Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group is already among the world’s top 500; ten billion yuan is nothing to them!

And the so-called ‘ceasing production and being investigated,’ will production really stop?

Will they really be detained for investigation?

The factory zone of Tang’s Pharmaceuticals has long been heavily guarded and under strict surveillance—who knows if they’ve really ceased production!

And the investigation Wu Jie is subjected to…

is he locked up for questioning?

Or just summoned occasionally?

How long will it take?

His ‘advancing by retreating’ strategy is too clever!

Most importantly…

For those twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies, the Detox Pill is now unobtainable, and they’ve managed to offend Wu Jie.

Tonight at midnight, over sixty-four thousand pills were released, it was just that the twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies colluded, choosing not to bid at all.

Such a large number of Detox Pills could have saved almost ten thousand patients’ lives.

They wanted to play it cool, but their act backfired, turning them into fools.

Wu Jie’s counter-slap was so forceful that it severely thrashed those twenty-nine pharmaceutical companies.

Want to trick Wu Jie?

As he retreated to advance, he’s now suspended production and is not selling the Detox Pill anymore.

The stock of Detox Pills was kept for their own use.

With strict epidemic management already in place, no one was getting hurt or dying anyway.

But for those twenty-nine national pharmaceutical companies, that was a brutal hit!

They had just begun to taste sweetness, just begun to feel hope in eradicating the virus…

Only to have Wu Jie slap down that hope and grind it into the ground!

What to do?

What should they do now?

The ones with the greatest regret were those who, heeding Hittory’s incitement, did not bid at the stroke of midnight.

Had they known, a starting bid of two hundred and fifty thousand yuan might’ve secured over sixty thousand Detox Pills for a “bargain” of over ten billion yuan instead of ending up with nothing.

And if they went further to threaten and pressure Wu Jie to relinquishing the formula and process…

Who would dare?

Even the world’s hegemon wouldn’t dare to bully too far.

After all, in the recent live-fire large-scale military exercise not so long ago, they had fully demonstrated their world-class war capabilities.

Stealth Fighters, various missiles, coordinated air-ground operations, electronic warfare…

The Eastern Dragon had awakened and was no longer the downtrodden underdog waiting to be bullied and oppressed.

Now look.

The other twenty-eight national pharmaceutical companies that had placed their faith in Hittory for once were now regretting it deeply.

They definitely wouldn’t conspire for Detox Pills again.

Instead, they would try all means to privately negotiate with Liuli Continent.

As for Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association, the instigator of this media storm…

Wu Jie’s invisible counterattack was utterly lethal.

Perrio and many others had been swiftly suspended due to “major strategic decision-making errors.”

To solve this trouble, they were forced to convene emergency meetings to search for solutions.

The medicine cannot stop!

As long as the Sakuragi Hana virus was not eradicated, there could not be a lack of Detox Pills!

Otherwise, more and more people would die of the disease or get hurt in violent conflicts, leading to more severe destruction of society and economy.

Industries would fall one after the other, heading toward extinction…

So…

This war of attrition was simply unaffordable!

And it thoroughly proved one thing.

Engaging in a war of attrition or psychological tactics with Wu Jie, the “King of Tricksters,” was tantamount to seeking one’s own downfall.

Detox Pills were his Amulet!

In the face of absolute monopolistic power, playing any tricks or conspiracies was utterly meaningless.

It’s like a scrawny little dwarf picking a fight with a strong professional boxer.

No matter how much he taunted, cursed, or insulted… if angered, he’d just be slapped to death without further words!

Otherwise, why would there be a saying?

“Society’s Jie, fierce with few words!”

Did the King of Tricksters earn his reputation for nothing?

…

Of course!

On the internet, opinions polarized.

Excitement!

Thrill!

Cheers!

Many rejoiced as if celebrating a festival, feeling as if they had won a great victory.

Thankfully, as time passed…

And some countries started to exert official efforts.

Affected by time zones, it was late at night in Liuli Continent, but daytime elsewhere – the best time to catch people’s attention.

Thus, they had medical experts, as industry insiders, appear on various TV and internet media to educate the public.

They informed the overly emotional “common folk” about how many variants of the Sakuragi Hana virus there were, how difficult research and breakthroughs were, and how tragic it would be without Detox Pills…

Besides interviews and explanations, they also used articles, videos, and other methods to educate the increasingly ignorant masses that things weren’t as simple as they imagined.

Wu Jie was under investigation, and Tang’s Pharmaceuticals had halted production indefinitely.

Was this really a happy event to celebrate?

It was simply the prelude to the death march that many would suffer!

Gradually, people began to understand and react.

They realized that behind seemingly simple issues lay even greater crises.

But nobody dared say that this was Wu Jie’s conspiracy.

Because from start to finish…

Wu Jie had not appeared nor made any statements.

Perhaps he had been arrested and was being secretly investigated.

So now…

Should the vitriolic attacks continue?

Should calls start to demand no investigation, no production halt?

Wouldn’t they be slapping their own faces then?

After cheering for victory, now to change tunes…

It would be a collective display of lower intellect!

And to intimidate and pressure the investigative team into forcing Wu Jie to hand over the process and formula…

Wasn’t that akin to robbery?

What difference did it make from “stealing from the rich to give to the poor”?

Such actions could prompt a series of ethical dilemmas.

Could the poor force the rich to hand over a fortune just because they were impoverished?

Being poor does not justify lawlessness!

Wu Jie was being investigated; what more did they want?

What else could be done?

Were they to execute him on the spot if he refused to divulge formula and process?

What about those companies who produced anti-cancer or leukemia drugs for high prices and never disclosed their formula or patents – why didn’t they suffer the same fate as Wu Jie?

To force another for personal gain – how was that any different from being a bandit?

Suddenly.

The previously raging public opinion storm quieted down.

Those with low intelligence covered their faces and ran.

Those with high intelligence found no solution.

As time went on…

No items were being recalled, no auctions were held.

The special investigation team still had not announced the latest investigation results, but the tragic episodes had already begun to unfold relentlessly.

Miserable deaths!

Desperate madness!

Those who had been frenziedly bellowing before were now in utter panic…
