Chapter 420 Met Mo Fei, Finally

“Do you think that we have no right to deal with you? Hum, you are not in the Mi country, but in Shenzhou Country. In Shenzhou, you will never be able to escape the punishment of the law even if you are in a high position!”

Zhao Gang reacted just as what Ding Ning had expected. Given their special status, he wanted to send them to the hospital for treatment at first. But after hearing Roberts’ words, he suddenly fell into a rage. “Some people come here to handcuff these men who are suspected of the burglary and take them away.”

“I want to see the ambassador! I want to go to the hospital! I am going to sue all of you for the wrongful arrest.”

Roberts panicked, roaring in manner but cowardly at heart.

“It seems that we haven’t beaten him hard enough,” Ding Ning said.

Wordlessly, Ding Ning shook his head upon hearing Roberts’ quite unashamed words. Both Hare and Wasp looked ashamed. “D*mned! If I’d known his reaction earlier, I would have hit him harder.”

“Doctor Ding, we still need to figure out what had happened. Could you please go back with us and recorded a statement.”

Zhao Gang said apologetically.

“No problem. Each citizen must cooperate with the police.”

Ding Ning readily agreed to go with them because he knew that Zhao Gang was an impartial guy.

Therefore, Ding Ning only left two maids to look after the villa. Then, everyone else went on the police cars and went to the police station to record their statements together.

Uncle Zhang sneered and deftly took out the surveillance video. There was no surveillance installed inside the villa, but there was one at the gate.

The video clearly showed the scene that Roberts and others broke into the villa and slammed Uncle Zhang. With this video, even if the Consul General for the Mi country came here to deal with this matter, he could not clear Roberts’ name of breaking in.

But as for the charge of burglary against Roberts, it required further discussion.

Ding Ning was still recording his statement. Then, Secretary Xu called him. After Ding Ning told Secretary Xu that Roberts broke into his villa and forced him to sell the Rice Bean Oral Solution’s formula and patent right to him, he instantly burst into anger and reported the information to Mayor Du on the spot. Hearing this, Mayor Du thought Roberts and others were really going too far! He took the matter seriously and reported it to the Central Agency.

People who were not senior enough, including Ding Ning, did not know how far the clinical examinations had reached, but Mayor Du knew.

Initially, all new drugs must undergo four phases of clinical trials before they were formally produced. So did the Rice Bean Oral Solution. The whole process before it was officially produced would take at least six or seven years.

However, the progress of producing the Rice Bean Oral Solution was different. Under the current unique environment, Shenzhou Country’s leaders attached great importance to the Rice Bean Oral Solution’s clinical test and gave this issue the uppermost priority.

At present, the phase I of clinical trials, which intended to provide the basis for the drug’s dosing schedule, had finished. During this period, the preliminary clinical pharmacology and the safety evaluation trials of the solution to human bodies were applied. The researchers also studied the pain tolerance of the human bodies to the new drug and the pharmacokinetics of the solution in human bodies. Now, the phase II clinical trials, which were used to evaluate the solution’s therapeutic effects initially, had started.

The purpose of phase II clinical trials was to initially evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of the solution in patients with target indications as well as to provide the basis for the design and the fug’s dosing schedule of phase III clinical trials.

Up to now, 500 volunteers had taken part in the randomized controlled clinical trials, and no toxic or side effect was found. Though there were still two other phases of the clinical trials that had not yet been carried out, the current effect that the Rice Bean Oral Solution showed gave everyone confidence. They all believed that they just needed to go through the rest clinical trials for the standard procedure’s sake.

On behalf of Shenzhou Academy of Sciences’ Department of Physiological Medicine, Academician Cao Jingsen had given a high appraisal to the Rice Bean Oral Solution. He said once the solution was proven to be very successful in the clinical trials, its appearance would become a great epoch-making work as a notable landmark in the progress of physiological medicine. It would indicate that Shenzhou Country had ranked the top in the development of antibiotics of the international physiological medicine community.

Cao Jingsen was one of the most authoritative academicians in the physiological medicine community of Shenzhou Country. His evaluation caused a great stir and attracted some academicians who did not pay attention to the Rice Bean Oral Solution at first.

After serious observation and study, these academicians made the same comments as Academician Cao. They highly evaluated the Rice Bean Oral Solution.

In this case, the Rice Bean Oral Solution had already become the latest national treasure-class drug. Then for this fact, seven big shots from the Central Agency specially held a small meeting.

No one except the seven big shots knew the content of this meeting. Mayor Du only knew that right after the meeting, the leader of the seven big shots gave a sealing order. The Rice Bean Oral Solution was classified as the most confidential state secret. No one could reveal anything about it. Meanwhile, Shenzhou Country must ensure the safety of Ding Ning, who was the Rice Bean Oral Solution’s developer.

But to Mayor Du’s surprise, just when he received this document from the Central Agency, people from Mecab Pharmaceutical Group of the Mi country broke in Ding Ning’s home and forced him to sell the solution’s patent and formula.

What did their actions mean? It meant that the news about the Rice Bean Oral Solution had leaked out already. Beyond that, these hostile foreign forces had targeted at Ding Ning because they wanted to get the Rice Bean Oral Solution’s information. Therefore, Mayor Du didn’t dare to hide this matter related to Ding Ning and instantly reported it to the Central Agency.

These big shots in the Central Agency became furious upon hearing what had happened to Ding Ning. After studying this case in a brief meeting, they gave instructions.

First, they ordered the National Security Bureau to take over the case of the break-ins of Roberts and others immediately. Besides, the bureau should bring all those people who had recently contacted Roberts and others under control and put in extra hours to interrogate them. Beyond that, the National Security Bureau must get their source of information through the interrogation and find out who exactly had leaked the information. No matter who did this would get severe punishment.

Secondly, the military, the police, and the National Security Bureau should be responsible for Ding Ning’s safety 24 hours a day. Shenzhou Country must guarantee Ding Ning’s personal or property safety for he was a talent who developed the Rice Bean Oral Solution.

Third, they should negotiate well with Ding Ning about the patent right and do their best to meet all Ding Ning’s requests. In principle, to the best, Shenzhou Country to buy out the Rice Bean Oral Solution’s patent right. But all of this must be based on a Ding Ning’s voluntary basis. None of them was allowed to force Ding Ning to do anything. The country should sincerely give Ding Ning an honorific title—Shenzhou Academy of Sciences’ academician. Beyond that, it should grant him the state allowances and all benefits that he deserved.

When Mayor Du received the instructions, he immediately realized that the country had realized the importance of Ding Ning from the McCabe Pharmaceutical Group’s actions. Now that Shenzhou Country spared no effort only to draw Ding Ning over to its side. The country feared that Ding Ning would choose to migrate if the attractive offers tempted him that those western countries gave. If that happened, it would be a significant loss of the Shenzhou Country.

The academician of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences was considered as a lifetime honorary title by the Shenzhou scientific community. In his early twenties, Ding Ning had made outstanding achievements that countless others could not achieve in their lifetime and reached the pinnacle of his life. What an impressive young man!

Throughout the ages, talented people were favored like delicious cakes. In previous, lots of talents were roped in by the western countries and became their important tools to create wealth because of the Shenzhou Country’s ignorance of the talents’ treatment.

Those leaders of Shenzhou Country knew that they could no longer expect scientists who were driven by patriotism to make selfless devotion to the country. Talents were not kept just by their patriotism. The past pain was a warning for the future. Now the leaders of Shenzhou Country had changed their old, rigid way of thinking.

Human beings die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in quest of food. Scientists were also human beings who needed to eat, drink, and raise children. If scientists could not earn enough to support relatively comfortable lives and had to pay much time, energy, and money to raise their children, could you count on these scientists loving their country that much?

Flexible ways must be obtained to attract talents. Even the ancients knew to call on talents repeatedly and be courteous to them. Unique talents who had made contributions to the country ought to be entitled to special treatment.

Otherwise, if they didn’t get the treatment and attention that they deserved, they would be bitterly disappointed and went to the embraces of other countries.

Mayor Du firmly supported the decisions of the Central Agency’s big shots. After all, he had witnessed Ding Ning’s magical medicine skills with his own eyes. He thought that such a talent like Ding Ning deserved any preferential treatment and honor.

Therefore, in this particular case, Huang Shukang was screwed. Initially, he gave Roberts the address of Ding Ning only to butter him up. He thought that it would have little to do with him even if something terrible happened. However, the consequence was way beyond his expectation—the National Security Bureau arrested him for interrogation because he was suspected of giving the country’s top-secret intelligence to enemies. He was nearly scared out of his pants, crying that he was put in the wrong with a sullen face.

However, when Mo Fei, the director of the National Security Bureau, showed him Ding Ning’s certificate as a consultant of the National Security Bureau, Huang Shukang’s legs became so weak that he could hardly stand. It completely freaked him out. The address that he provided to Roberts actually belonged to a worker of the National Security Bureau. He really had nothing to defend himself if he was accused of treason for real.

Ding Ning finally met Director Mo Fei that his Second Master often talked about. At this time, he looked narrowly at him with some curiosity.

“Great! Little guy, you are so restless!” Mo Fei said.

He acted so casually as if he had seen his junior. With a smile, he gave Ding Ning’s advisor certificate of the National Security Bureau back to him and threw Ding Ning a CHUNGHWA in passing.

Without standing on ceremony, Ding Ning lit the cigarette and took a long pull. Then he said with a smile, “Uncle Mo, we get to meet at last.”

“You kid, you are indeed composed. If I didn’t come to you, I suppose that you would never come to me first, right?” Mo Fei asked.

He pretended to be angry but could not hide the care in his eyes. After all, Ding Ning was his big brother Dragon Teeth’s son, his nephew.

Ding Ning put away the certificate, scratching his head embarrassedly. “My Second Master told me to take special training next year, plus I have been occupied with too many things recently. So, I haven’t yet come to you.”

“Well, it turned to be my fault,” Mo Fei said.

He rolled his eyes in a weird way. “You kid doesn’t have a fixed place to stay. I could not find you even if I wanted. Since you were busying in developing drugs some time ago, I didn’t dare to bother you. But now I happen to need your help.”

“My help? Uncle Mo, tell me, what’s the matter? As long as I can do it, I will never say no to you.”

Ding Ning promised without hesitation because he was very impressed with Mo Fei’s straightforward character.

“It is about Monkey. Up to now, he hasn’t said anything. To keep him safe, a dozen men of us died,” Mo Fei said.

Feeling helpless, he took a drag on his cigarette. “Last time in Diannan, Monkey went through an assassination. He was lucky enough and survived. Now he doesn’t trust the National Security Bureau at all. He said that he would not say anything unless he saw you or Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang got out of the hospital a few days ago and just became the director. Besides, as a police hero, he has to travel around to give lectures. He appears to be much busier than me. It is evident that he can hardly find any time to help. Also, it is inconvenient for me to come to you. But today, I happened to get the chance to call you over. We can finally meet each other. Meanwhile, you can go to meet Monkey with me and help me to get the information out of him.”

Ding Ning frowned. To be honest, he saved Monkey before only to return his favor. In fact, he didn’t want to participate too much in this sort of thing. But since Mo Fei invited him, it was inappropriate for him to refuse. Therefore, he nodded immediately and said, “Okay. Let’s go to meet him now.”

“No hurry. Here is the information about the new identity that I prepared for you. Look at it first and remember to destroy it later,” Mo Fei said with caution.

He then took out a packet of information from the safe. Ding Ning looked at the data. On the picture was his new camouflaged appearance that Second Master made for his up-to-date biomimetic skin. When Ding Ning spotted that his new name was Ning Ding, he could not help complaining secretly, “Mo Fei was so good at saving trouble. Ning Ding, Ding Ning, anyone who pays attention to the names can figure it out that the two names may belong to one person.”

But then Ding Ning thought that once he joined the Dragon Soul, he would basically have no touch with local people. Besides, he had a changed appearance. Thus, others would not recognize him. Thinking of this, he was relieved.

However, Ding Ning thought of a very serious question. “Uncle Mo, Second Master asked me to join the Dragon Soul to fight for the title of Dragon Teeth. Will I have to stay at the Dragon Soul from then on? But I am a doctor. I still have a lot of work to do.”

“That’s not necessary. As long as you can win the title of Dragon Teeth, you will have the privilege. Usually, we will not arrange tasks for you. You just need to keep the phone open so that we can reach you anytime. Only when we meet some tricky tasks will I ask you to perform.”

Mo Fei explained with patience, smiling. He seemed to have expected Ding Ning’s question. “Though Xiao Baiyu had given up his title of Dragon Horn, he is still in charge of the Dragon Soul. What he says still goes in the Dragon Soul.” Mo Fei thought to himself.
