Chapter 742 - Genuine Good News

During the second morning, several international media reported ‘good’ news.

The Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate’s research team has achieved a breakthrough in their research for the cure.

The research team had a historic breakthrough for the Seven Mountain Virus since they discovered the original form of the virus. It’s a mutated hepat.i.tis virus, and it’s incredibly infectious. Not only can it spread amongst people, but it can also spread amongst animals.

Furthermore, the Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate promised that they would do their best to find a cure within three days.

Once the news was released, the stock price of the medicine company under Ying Xiong started to frantically surge and the profits rose to ¥10,000,000,000 in just a few days.

Because of the fact that Ying Xiong’s medicine company was listed outside the country, he did not require anyone in China to receive the news since it was mainly targeted at foreign investors to let them know that Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate would soon gain a stable footing after entering China’s market.

The moment the investors were confident, they wiukd naturally be willing to frantically buy the shares. So, as shareholders, the board members would only have to dump their shares to gain ample profits.

At this moment, Mr. Xue entered the office and placed the day’s newspaper before the Vice Premier, Mr. Xiao, and said, “Many mainstream media in the international platform are focused on the virus situation in our country. The news released by Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate last night was also reported by them.”

Letting out a sigh, Mr. Xiao bitterly smiled. “This is the first time that I encountered something so depressing to suck up despite knowing that they were behind it.”

“Also, news came from Fire Beacon that their mission failed; they did not find the cure.” Mr. Xue continued his report.

“Our enemies are prepared, so how can they reveal any flaws so easily?” Mr. Xiao knocked his finger on the table and locked his brows together. “What’s the Ying Family’s response?”

“They have already cut all relations with Ying Xiong!” Mr. Xue helplessly replied.

“I never expected that that brat from the Ying Family would actually become the p.a.w.n of a foreign force in his partic.i.p.ation in international activities in recent years.” Mr. Xiao’s expression turned solemn before he continued, “Regardless of the outcome, we can’t allow that brat from the Ying Family to leave the country.”

“But he has multiple nationalities in Italy and the UK!” Mr. Xue revealed a difficult expression as he continued, “There’s nothing we can do about it if those countries stand out to protect him.”

“As long as he’s in the motherland, he must be punished for his crimes.” Mr. Xiao solemnly replied.

“I will immediately spread out your instructions.” Mr. Xue knew that his superior was genuinely furious this time since it was mainly because Ying Xiong had taken it too far this time.

But just when Mr. Xue was about to leave, his phone suddenly vibrated. But if it’s a call from others, Mr. Xue would definitely not pick up the phone before his superior.

“It’s a call from Wei Qun from the Health Bureau!” Mr. Xue looked at his superior to seek instruction.

“Pick it up. The epidemic’s situation is more urgent.” Mr. Xiao nodded his head and his brows locked together with a solemn heart.

When Mr. Xue picked up the call and heard the report from Wei Qun, shock flashed in his eyes as he asked, “Is that true? Is what you’re saying true?”

After receiving a confirmed reply from Wei Qun, Mr. Xue immediately reported to his superior in excitement, “Good news! Seven Mountain Village has already found a cure, and they even tested it. Many patients have shown positive signs of improvements!”

Slamming his hand on the desk, Mr. Xiao let out a deep breath of relief and roared in excitement, “This is truly a piece of genuine good news! Andrewson is truly worthy of being a top-tiered specialist in virology studies to find the cure in less than ten days!”

“It’s all thanks to Su Tao.” Mr. Xue smiled.

“Oh? It’s related to him?” Mr. Xiao might not be familiar with medical studies, but he still had some common knowledge. It’s tough for TCM to investigate an effective cure since it required the help of chemistry.

“According to Wei Qun’s report, Andrewson managed to extract a composition that can extinguish the virus from a TCM herb.” Mr. Xue smiled before he continued, “Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, even if it’s not Andrewson, other technological western medicine specialists will also be able to extract the composition.”

“You mean that Su Tao managed to find the herb to cure the virus before Andrewson studied it and extract the composition?” Mr. Xiao asked with a smile.

“That’s right!” Mr. Xue inwardly sighed. His superior was truly worthy of being his superior with such a formidable comprehension ability.

Sitting back down on his seat, Mr. Xiao raised his brows and solemnly said, “Since we’ve already found the cure, then dismiss the medical teams established yesterday.”

“I will get to it immediately!” Mr. Xue nodded his head.

“Furthermore, inform the relevant departments to arrest Ying Xiong and personnel from the Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate who are related to this incident!” Mr. Xiao said in a solemn tone before he continued, “They have to be punished for affecting the country’s safety!”

Ying Xiong woke up late recently since he had been paying attention to the stock prices in the overseas market. Due to the time difference, he practically sleeps in the morning and wakes up in the afternoon.

When his doorbell rang, Ying Xiong was startled awake from his dream and smacked the pillow with a deep roar before he wore his clothes and opened the door.

His secretary was standing outside and she looked at Ying Xiong with a nervous expression. “Mr. Ying, something went wrong!”

Ying Xiong was still half-awake when he returned to the room and poured himself a cup of water before he asked in an annoyed tone, “What’s the matter? What are you so nervous about?”

“Mr. Ying, we’ve just received news that Andrewson’s team managed to find a cure in Seven Mountain Village.” The secretary urgently reported.

“What?!” Ying Xiong’s eyes immediately widened as he looked at his secretary in disbelief.

“Half an hour ago, Sweden’s virology specialist, Andrewson, managed to find a cure for the Seven Mountain Village. At the same time, dozens of villagers have shown positive signs of improvements from his cure.” The secretary handed the phone over to Ying Xiong.

When Ying Xiong took a glance at it, he was immediately shocked before he gave a call to Tony and questioned, “Have you received the news? Andrewson’s team actually managed to find a cure so quickly?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Tony helplessly replied, “I’m sorry about that. I only received the news a moment ago as well. However, I’m doubting the authenticity of this news.”

Ying Xiong’s lips twitched since the situation has suddenly exceeded his control.

“Did anyone from your side leak it?” He questioned.

“That’s impossible! I have known George for years, and I understand him well. He’s someone with integrity, and he will definitely not sell us out.” Tony sighed before he continued in a helpless tone, “There’s only one possibility in his situation. Andrewson was too lucky and surpa.s.sed our expectations.”

“We’re in a pa.s.sive position right now!” Ying Xiong solemnly replied before he continued, “Everyone in the country is only fearful of us because we possess the cure. That can’t do, we have to immediately head for Italy’s emba.s.sy to seek shelter!”

“Emba.s.sy?” Tony was shocked.

“That’s right!” Ying Xiong was irritable since he knew that he would definitely be marked with the name of “Traitor” with the failure of this plan.

As for Tony, he would also be marked with crimes of being a spy.

Tony never expected that the situation would be so serious since he had no idea how many more things Ying Xiong had done in the dark.

“We’ll continue our talk in the emba.s.sy!” Ying Xiong sighed before he gave a call to Munns.

“The situation has changed. Immediately follow Plan B and leave China.” Ying Xiong ordered.

Munns was briefly stunned before he swiftly responded and locked his brows together, “What about the rest of the payment?”

“I won’t miss a single dime of it once I’m safe.” Ying Xiong lowered his voice and continued, “But on the prerequisite that I can leave China safely.”

“I understand!” Munns locked his brows together. Thinking about it now, they did not earn much on this trip to China. On the contrary, he lost many men instead. Now that Ying Xiong’s plan has failed, they might not even get the rest of the payment.

However, this was the life of a mercenary. Living by the blade, no one could expect what awaits them tomorrow.

Ying Xiong did not get his secretary to arrange for a vehicle. He placed a box of money into his suitcase and swiftly disguised himself. He wore sungla.s.ses with a blue s.h.i.+rt and rushed out of the hotel before flagging a cab. When the cab drove out, he immediately saw a police vehicle behind him and started to sweat.

Originally, he should be in Italy to enjoy a wonderful dinner before the cure was released to the public, but he never expected that he would have to seek shelter right now.

Seated in the vehicle, Ying Xiong immediately made a few calls and reported the situation. And fortunately, the mastermind promised that they would communicate with China’s Foreign Affairs Bureau as long as he managed to reach the emba.s.sy to get him out.

Strictly speaking, the land of the emba.s.sy did not belong to China. According to China’s usual habits, they would not offend the dignity of another country so easily, especially when Italy was one of the stronger countries in Europe.

However, when the vehicle was approaching the emba.s.sy, his heart immediately went cold since there’s an obstruction right before him. Several police officers were blocking his way before the emba.s.sy.

“Stop the vehicle and turn around!” Ying Xiong immediately gave out an order.

“But, the emba.s.sy is right ahead!” The cab driver glanced at the rear mirror in alertness.

“I changed my mind! Send me to Tonghe District. I will pay you double the fees!” Ying Xiong tried his best to keep his composure. At this moment, he couldn’t believe anyone right now.

“Alright!” The cab driver helplessly replied and started to turn the steering wheel.

But just when the vehicle was about to turn from the intersection, a police vehicle swiftly drove out and stopped before the cab driver.

Before Ying Xiong could react, the cab driver had already charged out of the driver’s seat and yelled, “The bad guy is in the backseat, please arrest him!”

The cab driver was experienced in Beijing, and he had seen many people. From the moment Ying Xiong entered his cab, he had already sensed something amiss.

When the cab driver saw that Ying Xiong’s facial expression had drastically changed, he was even more baffled and purposely flashed his headlights twice. Furthermore, the car was also driving slowly in a crooked manner to attract the police’s attention.
