Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 418: Anger

Tang Mingkun fell into deep thought because of this statement. It seemed that it was not impossible. He subconsciously thought of Fang Tiancheng. With his vengeful personality, he would definitely not let go of any opportunity to get even. Moreover, just giving instructions to the review center was very simple for this person.

He let out a long sigh and said, “We don’t have any evidence yet. Maybe we just went to the wrong place. Let’s wait a little longer. If that’s the case, I’ll talk to the old leader then, lest Fang Tiancheng ruin our plan!”

“Okay.”

With his godfather’s words, he was relieved.

However, Lu Ming’s brows were still furrowed. He hoped that he was over-thinking. He did not mind fighting Fang Tiancheng, but now it was a matter of life and death. Every second of delay meant that someone was being sent into the abyss! Could it be that he really wanted to get revenge and implicate the innocent?! He hoped that Fang Tiancheng would not be so ignorant!

…

Before the results were out, Lu Ming Corporation had been in a state of anxiety the entire day. They had stayed up for several nights in order to research the preventive medicine. In the end, why was the review center dragging their feet despite the urgency of the matter? Wasn’t this a waste of their efforts!?

Lu Ming even called every other day, but the other party kept him waiting. Before they knew it, a month passed. Early one morning, he finally received the only call from the Import Bureau. He couldn’t care less and went straight to the point. “Have we passed the review?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. We’re not in charge of reviewing domestic drugs. Foreign imports are our main business. You should take it to the capital to be assessed.”

Lu Ming was infuriated by this. He sneered and said, “What? Are you starting to kick the ball around? Why didn’t you say this when I gave you the drug to be reviewed? You made me wait for a month for nothing! You can’t have forgotten, right? I seriously suspect that you did it on purpose. Do you know that my medicine is to save lives?!”

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but his anger wouldn’t go away.

“What do you take human lives for! Let’s not talk about the effort and money I put into this matter. Now that an epidemic is raging, how many people do you think will die if a medicine that doesn’t work is released?”

The sinister question made the person in charge want to cry. He really didn’t want to confront this big shot! Besides, this matter was ordered by the higher-ups. What did it have to do with him? At most, he had no choice but to do this under threat! He wondered what he should do now.

......

Any fool knew that such an excuse would not satisfy the other party.

Therefore, he could only comfort him guiltily. “Mr. Lu, please calm down first. This is not something within our control. It’s mainly because we’re very busy, so it’s normal for us to forget to tell you. I’m just an ordinary employee. It’s useless for you to flare up at me…”

“Normal? You had so many opportunities to tell me. Why didn’t you say anything?! Are you blind or deaf? It’s not like your department only relies on you to maintain its operations. Could it be that you are all disabled? I think you’re used to living a life above others and don’t know the hardships of the world at all!”

Lu Ming’s heart ached at the thought of someone dying because of an epidemic. The preventive drug had already been made, but lives were being sacrificed needlessly in the end! Then why did he rush into the production back then? Wasn’t this going against his original intention?

“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Lu.”

The person in charge couldn’t say anything else. He could only apologize dryly. He knew that this medicine was a life-saving medicine for the people, but… without orders from above, he really did not dare to pass the review without permission! It was useless to make things difficult for him.

“You should go to the review center in the capital to take a look.”

Lu Ming was furious when he heard the official’s words. He had not been so angry in a long time. “As long as I send the information to the place you said, will it be approved?”

The sudden question caught the person in charge off guard. He stammered, “Maybe? Mr. Lu, don’t make things difficult for me. I really can’t give you a definite answer. You should ask the person in charge over there. Maybe he can give you an answer.”

“Sure.”

Lu Ming knew that it would be pointless to continue asking. He should find someone who was really in charge! Hence, he got someone to send the information to the review center in the capital. After learning that it had been sent to someone, he immediately followed up with a phone call.

“Hello, this is the Drug Administration. What can I do for you?”

“I’m Lu Ming from Lu Ming Corporation. I asked you to review This Place No. 1 previously. You said that it was to be sent to the Import Bureau. Now that the Import Bureau asked me to look for you, can you review it for me this time? I need to get the answer now so that this won’t drag on for a month like before.”

Lu Ming was in a foul temper now. He had this feeling that if he didn’t flare up, these people would treat him like a fool! He had a gentle personality, but because of this matter, he almost couldn’t help but curse. One could imagine how important this preventive medicine was to him.

It felt like he was the only one who valued human lives, and those people simply thought that the worth of human lives could be measured by benefits.

This made him wonder if there was really something wrong with him. Then he thought about it and felt that he was not wrong! Whether it was his motivation or his actions, they were all beneficial to the people! Thinking of this, he took a sip of cold tea and finally regained some rationality. On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence as if someone had pressed the pause button.

“… Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? Of course, I can. I have to give you some face, right? However, the use of some of the medicinal ingredients is prohibited, so you need to change the prescription. I’ll get someone to return the documents you sent over now. Is that alright?”

Prohibited ingredients?

Lu Ming revealed a dark smile and said, “Alright, tell me. Which drugs did I use that are expressly prohibited in the country? Please tell me clearly because I specially checked the ingredients after I succeeded in making the medicine! I’m very sure that these drugs are harmless to the human body and none of them are stipulated as prohibited drugs!

Tell me, which medicine suddenly became a forbidden medicine for no reason? Miss.”

The woman on the other end of the line immediately broke out in cold sweat and her face instantly turned pale. She was just saying it casually. How could she say anything? The higher-ups only asked her to find an excuse to delay Lu Ming Corporation.
