Throughout the press conference, Gong Shaohua was in high spirits and his speech was touching, which was praised by everyone. Xiao Han even personally showed everyone the data, saying that nearly a thousand people would participate in Gong's free drug supply clinical trial project, and the drug's effectiveness would be seen within three months.
Below the stage, countless people cheered and praised them, saying that they were kind people and did good deeds.
At this moment, Liu Lin, who was sitting next to her, suddenly stood up.
"You can't give your medicine to everyone!"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone looked at Liu Lin. Lu Anning was also surprised that Liu Lin would stand up and speak at this time.
Was it my mother's arrangement?
On the stage, Xiao Han's expression darkened: "Professor Liu, you were invited to attend today's press conference, but you stood up and disrupted it at this time. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Xiao Han, I don't believe you didn't find the problem with the formula. This is a human life, not a lab rat. Don't be stubborn anymore! It's not too late to change your ways!"
Xiao Han sneered, "Professor Liu, I really don't know what you're talking about. What formula problem? Are you questioning my professional ability? I admit that you were once my mentor, but this kind of thing also requires talent. You can't slander me in front of so many people just because I'm more talented than you. How could I not know whether there is a problem with the formula or not?"
"You are playing with fire! How can you disregard everyone's lives for your own selfish interests?"
Xiao Han didn't care. "Professor An, is this why you came here today? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I used to work for you and didn't have the opportunity to display my abilities. You can't maliciously slander me just because I changed jobs! You are an internationally renowned professor after all, you should have some composure. It's not shameful to lose to a young person. After all, you are old now, and it's normal for your brain to not work as well as it should."
Liu Lin's face darkened completely: "Xiao Han, you are really hopeless. Do you know what you are saying? How can you talk to Professor An like this!"
"I'm clear-headed now! You're all blindly following her orders, but I won't be like that. The winner takes all. I'm the one who can produce the finished product now. Can't you just afford to lose?"
"you……"
An Li suddenly grabbed Liu Lin, slowly stood up, and looked directly at Xiao Han on the stage, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Xiao Han, I know you have some talent, so I'm going to remind you one last time. Don't make the wrong move and ruin your life."
"Heh! Professor An, stop using your seniority to bully me. You're just jealous that I developed an anti-cancer drug before you did. Do you think anyone will believe you?"
"Xiao Han, I came here today to remind you. Since you don't listen, you will bear the consequences yourself."
An Li said, turning around and looking at everyone present.
"I, An Li, am dedicating my own personality and reputation to remind all patients present who have participated in the clinical trial that the formula in Xiao Han's hands is flawed and will cause serious toxic side effects. I advise everyone not to participate in the clinical trial."
Gong Shaohua suddenly laughed: "A-Li, you haven't changed at all after all these years. I provide medicine to everyone for free, I am saving them, how can you deprive them of their right to live for the sake of your own little profit? A doctor has a compassionate heart, how can you live up to these four words?"
"Gong Shaohua! We both know whether there's something wrong with the medicine in your hand. I advise you not to play with fire or you'll get burned. There will be retribution."
Gong Shaohua laughed. "My medicine complies with all regulations. What could possibly be wrong? It's written in black and white. Everyone is grateful to me. You're just jealous. Ali, there's nothing shameful about losing. Why can't you just face it? Do you really think you're the only one in the world who can research anti-cancer drugs?"
"Of course, I'm not the only one in the world who can develop an anti-cancer drug, but that person definitely won't be you. That's all I have to say. I've already warned you all. Consider carefully whether or not you want to take Gong's medicine."
At this point, several patient representatives could no longer sit still.
"You're all experts and professors, but you're all just talking nonsense. You're not sick yourselves, so how could you possibly understand the pain we patients are going through? Every day of delay is torture for us. Now that such a great opportunity is before us, why would we refuse it?"
"That's right! Your competition for interests shouldn't involve us innocent patients. Mr. Gong is such a good man for giving us medicine for free. What a lousy professor! He can't even provide medicine himself, and he won't let anyone else. Isn't that a disregard for our lives?"
"Get out! Get out of the press conference! You are not welcome here!"
No one knew who said this first, but many people started to make a fuss. Lu Anning couldn't stand it anymore and was about to stand up when he was stopped by Tang Jingyuan.
He shook his head at Lu An Ning and looked at her belly, and Lu An Ning finally endured it.
After such a commotion, the press conference could no longer be continued and everyone left the scene.
On the way, Liu Lin was very angry.
"I really didn't expect Xiao Han to be such a person! He knew there was something wrong with the formula, so how could he disregard the lives of those patients for his own selfish interests? Didn't he consider that this could lead to deaths?"
"He even dared to openly slander my mother. What else can he not do? He is blinded by greed and has completely lost his conscience."
Lu Anning had expected Xiao Han to say something like this today. She just hadn't expected others to choose to believe the problematic formula rather than listen to her mother.
"Nearly a thousand people, Mom. What will happen if there are toxic side effects?"
"Those people were already in poor health. If they weren't careful, they could have lost their lives. I've done everything I could, but if they didn't listen, then they'll have to take their own lives."
"Is there no other way? Your laboratory can't..."
"An Ning, this concerns everyone's lives, so we can't rush for success. I still have one problem that hasn't been solved, and the formula is still being adjusted. I won't release it to the market until it's perfect."
After the press conference, Gong's Pharmaceuticals became a household name, along with some accusations against An Li. Fortunately, An Li paid no attention. After that day, Xiao Han became a rising star in the domestic medical community, enjoying both fame and fortune, and was incredibly proud of himself.
Gu Yu became even busier with An Li, running between the laboratory and the clinic. Due to the influence of Gong's Pharmaceuticals, the clinic's business was not as high as before, which also reduced their burden.
Lu An Ning was pregnant and there wasn't much she could do to help. She could only take care of herself first and not let those around her worry about her.
In the days that followed, Lu Anning could find news about Xiao Han whenever he had free time. Xiao Han's worth had skyrocketed due to the release of anti-cancer drugs, and he had also been attending various banquets with Gong Ming. In the blink of an eye, he had become a rising star in the industry, and even many wealthy women were interested in wooing him.
Just when the Gongs and Xiao Han were feeling most proud, a problem arose. A cancer patient was admitted to the hospital with sudden respiratory distress and diagnosed with multiple organ failure. He was immediately admitted to the ICU, his life in critical condition.
