Chapter 143: The Xia Family's Dilemma Ming Shuang took a deep breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She said, "The latest 'Light Second' vaccine launched by the Xia Family Pet Hospital is actually a radical modification of your 'Claw Shield', making it even more potent."
Xia Zhining's pupils suddenly shrank. So that's it!
She was wondering how Xia could have developed a new vaccine so quickly. It turned out that they had simply repackaged her product, even at the expense of high dosage and stability.
Mingshuang continued, "I stumbled upon it while participating in this project. The entire development process was moving very quickly, leaving almost no room for respite."
"I wanted to quit, but Xia showed me the contract and asked me to pay a huge penalty before I could leave midway."
She gave a wry smile, her eyes filled with fatigue. "I continued to push forward against my conscience, but I was tormented in my heart."
"The internal competition within the Xia family was extremely fierce, and the pressure was too great. I was eventually diagnosed with anxiety disorder... I was only able to escape after producing a psychiatric diagnosis from the hospital."
"Now that I've said all this, I feel relieved and can finally sleep peacefully."
"I'm sorry, Miss Xia." Mingshuang bowed deeply to Xia Zhining, with clear guilt in her voice.
Although she only learned the truth accidentally after participating in the project and did not intend to infringe on Xia Zhining's vaccine patent, she still felt guilty for becoming a "gangster", especially when facing her savior.
"I didn't muster up the courage to confess to you the other day... I was afraid of the Xia family's revenge."
Ming Shuang raised her head, her eyes filled with apology and determination. "It wasn't until you appeared in front of me and even saved my life that I realized this was a hint from fate."
"It's time to face this. If I don't, I'll never be truly at peace."
After hearing this, Xia Zhining's expression gradually became serious.
She didn't respond immediately, her eyes showing caution and consideration.
"If you sue Xia's Pet Hospital for patent infringement, I'm willing to testify in court."
Ming Shuang's tone was sincere, even a little anxious: "I'm sorry... I can compensate you, even if it means I don't take any salary."
Xia Zhining smiled lightly, but her eyes were calm and clear: "Someone else should be compensated."
Ming Shuang's tone was anxious, with obvious uneasiness: "But the new vaccine will be officially released the day after tomorrow morning! Wait until the legal procedures help you regain the patent for 'Claw Shield', and then prove step by step that the Xia family's new vaccine is an infringement..."
"This rights protection process is too long. By then, the Xia family will have made a fortune from this vaccine."
Xia Zhining stared at her, her eyes calm and sharp: "Now, you have a chance to make amends."
After hearing that Ming Shuang had participated in the research and development of the Xia family's new vaccine, she became more cautious and decided to first test Ming Shuang's sincerity and position.
If Ming Shuang is willing to work with her to organize the information and successfully report the Xia family, then maybe she can still be of use.
Ming Shuang was stunned for a moment: "What opportunity?"
Xia Zhining's tone was steady but unquestionable: "Since you have participated in the research and development of new vaccines, you should be very familiar with their achievements."
"I want you to work with me to compile a report proving that the composition of the so-called new vaccine is highly similar to my 'Claw Shield'."
Mingshuang nodded, but then frowned. "I understand your point of view, but... the patent for the Claw Shield vaccine is still in the hands of the Xia family."
"Even if we can prove that the new vaccine's efficacy is highly similar to the 'Claw Shield,' the Xia family can still argue that it's an upgraded version developed based on the original patent and is a reasonable iterative update."
Ming Shuang's tone was weak: "Legally, there is nothing wrong with them doing this... I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop the introduction of new vaccines."
