Chapter 740 - The Traitor (1/2)
“B*stard! He’s talking nonsense!” Nalan Wushuang said angrily, “He knows nothing about traditional Chinese medicine. How dare he slander it! What a nut he is!”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “He’s not nuts. He must have his purposes in doing so.
“The delegation of the World Medical Association had already left, and the enormous amount of exposure on the Internet has created an unprecedented opportunity for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
“Lou Zhiping makes his comments at this moment, indicating that he is directed against traditional Chinese medicine instead of me. It is not as simple as it looks. There must be more secrets that I don’t know.”
Nalan Wuxia swiped the screen and said, “Haodong, this shameless man, posts another message. He wants to challenge you in public and expose your scam in front of the Huaxia people. He’s so stupid! I wonder why he has more than 10 million followers.”
A sneer lifted the corner of Qin Haodong’s mouth as he said, “He wants to challenge me? I wonder who gave him the confidence.”
At this point, his cell phone rang. It was from Wan Taisong.
There had to be something important to discuss with him at this late hour. Wan Taisong said in a hurry, “Little Qin, did you read the news? Lou Zhiping is aiming at you.”
Qin Haodong said indifferently, “President Wan, I’ve read his comments. But he’s directed at all of traditional Chinese medicine instead of me.”
Wan Taisong said, “Little Qin, no matter what, Lou Zhiping is quite difficult to deal with. He just called me and wanted to formally challenge you and the Imperial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shall we accept his challenge?
“If you don’t want to see him, I’ll find an excuse to turn him down.”
“President Wan, we can’t do that.” Qin Haodong explained, “If I don’t accept his challenge at this time, the positive influence brought by the World Medical Association will definitely disappear. Everyone will believe what he said and think that traditional Chinese medicine is nothing but a cruel hoax.”
“You’re right.” The sudden news had defeated Wan Taidong, and he hadn’t figured out the current situation. He calmed down and said, “Well then, we have to accept his challenge. Please be well prepared. Lou Zhiping is quite shrewd.”
Qin Haodong said confidently, “Don’t worry, President Wan. As long as I’m here, he won’t be able to cause any trouble in the capital.”
He hung up and then received a call from Shao Weimin. “What’s wrong with Lou Zhiping? How dare he make trouble at this critical moment! Haodong, are you sure you can defeat him?”
“Of course I am. Minister Shao, don’t worry. I will handle this matter.”
After Qin Haodong hung up, he thought for a moment and then made another phone call.
As the saying goes, “Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.” He had to find out everything about Lou Zhiping, and the Deep Web was his first choice. Nothing was secret to them.
“Mr. Medical Sage, I’m very glad to receive your call. You performed very well at school today.”
The phone was picked up and Qin Haodong heard Donnie Randall’s sweet voice.
Qin Haodong said, “You know about it? Are you sending someone to keep an eye on me?”
“Mr. Medical Sage, your news has spread across the Internet and everyone knows about it. Do you think I need to keep an eye on you? The Deep Web is indeed very powerful, but we’ll be short of hands if we try to monitor everything.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I was just kidding. I need your help.”
Donnie Randall asked, “Do you want me to help you get the information of Lou Zhiping? He’s a silly and arrogant man.”
“That’s right. It’s him. I want to know everything about him.”
Donnie Randall said, “Mr. Medical Sage, I knew you wanted to get his information, so I’ve already prepared everything you need. I’ll email you these documents.”
Qin Haodong said, “Thank you, Miss Randall. You’re very smart.”
“You’re the truly smart one. How dare Lou Zhiping challenge you? He’s crazy.”
Donnie Randall really admired Qin Haodong. The Deep Web was extremely powerful, and the only one she was afraid of was this Huaxia person, who seemed to be gentle and cultivated.
Qin Haodong hung up, turned on the computer, and began to check the information sent by Donnie Randall.
The documents contained comprehensive details. Qin Haodong even knew that Lou Zhiping had peeked at a widow bathing when he was a child. Even with his strong Spirit, it took him an hour to finish reading all his information.
He closed his laptop and sneered. Sure enough, as he had expected, Lou Zhiping was not a crazy man who just wanted to make trouble for him. There was someone behind him, and that was the Angel Pharmaceutical Group in Europe.
The Angel Pharmaceutical Group was one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in the world. With industrial sites all over the five continents, it was even more influential than the Wilson Group.
Lou Zhiping had a high IQ and was smart in school. He came from a poor family and then studied at a famous university in Europe with government funds.
During his time in Europe, he was bought by the Angel Group and started to work for them. His main task was to suppress the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Huaxia, reduce its influence, and increase the share of Western medicine in Huaxia.
After all, more than a billion people were living in Huaxia and their daily consumption of medicine was enormous. They could gain astronomical profits by just increasing the share by a bit.
