Chapter 62: The Life-Prolonging Pill is effective

After the auctioneer announced the start, Hua Yan raised his paddle quickly, but the auctioneer pointed to the first row and shouted excitedly: "Number Five..."

Immediately following, the auctioneer's voice became exceptionally excited: "Number Five bids ten million."

The scene immediately boiled over, and Hua Yan was surprised to find that the one bidding was Zheng Zemin of Zhenghe Pharmaceutical. But he didn't give up and immediately followed up with a bid: "Number 28, bids 10.5 million."

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, another round of fierce bidding unfolded.

"Number Five bids 15 million again."

Hearing this bid, Hua Yan's face turned iron-blue, and he raised his paddle again in anger, "Twenty million."

In an instant, there was dead silence in the auction hall, and even the auctioneer was stunned for a moment, forgetting to continue reporting the price.

At this time, Zheng Zemin raised his paddle again, determined to get this Life-Prolonging Pill, because this was his only hope to live.

As early as when the Life-Prolonging Pill appeared, Zheng Zemin had asked Lin Yu whether this medicine could really prolong life. The answer he got was: "It's worth it within 30 million."

Therefore, Zheng Zemin dared to increase the price by 10 million at once and prepared to report directly to 30 million.

However, a sweet female voice suddenly sounded: "35 million."

Only to see a beauty with flowing long hair stand up gracefully, holding an auction paddle, looking around confidently.

Hua Yan almost collapsed; his father only asked him to bid for three items, and this was just the first one, and the competition was already so fierce.

Lin Yu also looked at this woman curiously, knowing clearly that for this Life-Prolonging Pill, 30 million was already a sky-high price.

The beauty noticed Lin Yu's gaze, blinked playfully, and announced: "I want this Life-Prolonging Pill; no matter who bids again, I will increase it by 5 million, with no upper limit."

It must be said that this woman was truly bold! But Hua Yan was not to be outdone; after all, this medicine was for his grandfather's life.

Thus, he shouted out a bid of "One hundred million" through gritted teeth.

The scene fell into dead silence; everyone knew that Hua Yan did this to deter other bidders.

After all, at this rate of bidding, the final price would definitely exceed one hundred million.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zemin followed up with a bid: "One hundred and fifty million."

In his view, even spending 300 million to exchange for ten years of life was worth it.

At this moment, the auctioneer was completely confused, having never seen such a crazy price war.

Lin Yu couldn't help but say to Zheng Zemin: "30 million is already the limit; this medicine cannot make you live ten years longer."

Sure enough, the beauty added without hesitation: "One hundred and fifty-five million."

After brief consideration, Hua Yan decided to bet everything: "Two hundred million."

Just after he shouted this number, the old man beside him hurriedly persuaded: "Young Master, that's enough; this price is too high."

Indeed, everyone present thought so; spending 200 million to buy a so-called Life-Prolonging Pill was simply too outrageous.

For those wealthy people who craved the Life-Prolonging Pill, this pill represented ten extra years of life.

For them, as long as they could live ten more years, a few hundred million was just a small number, which could be easily earned back.

However, when the price climbed to 200 million, even these wealthy figures appeared cautious and didn't easily increase the price.

On the auction stage, Tamamo Emi saw the bidding pause and smiled and announced: "The friend who successfully bids for this Life-Prolonging Pill will not only become a shareholder of Hanfang Pharmaceutical.

You will also receive 1% of the shares of our joint venture in Daxia, enjoying the right to use all medicines of Hanfang Pharmaceutical for life."

This news was like adding fuel to the fire, and the already cooled-down venue boiled over instantly.

Zheng Zemin stood up excitedly and shouted a high price of "Five hundred million."

Hearing this bid, Tamamo Emi revealed a satisfied smile, but this joy was soon broken by Lin Yu's roar:

"I said, this Life-Prolonging Pill cannot prolong life by ten years at all, and it's not even worth 30 million, let alone 500 million."

The whole audience fell into silence, and Tamamo Emi's smile froze.

Just as Zhang Yuru said, Lin Yu was indeed here to cause trouble.

As the auction hammer fell, the Life-Prolonging Pill was finally sold for 500 million.

"Congratulations to the guest Number Five for obtaining the Life-Prolonging Pill." However, Lin Yu's words caused everyone to doubt the true value of the Life-Prolonging Pill.

After all, life is impermanent; who can guarantee that a pill can really prolong life by ten years?

Lin Yu stared coldly at Zheng Zemin and warned: "It's not too late to regret now." He said this because he regarded Zheng Zemin as his patient.

And on the stage, Tamamo Emi retorted: "Sir, what evidence do you have to prove that this Life-Prolonging Pill is ineffective? You must know that this was personally verified by Professor Kainsi of the Eternal Sanctuary."

At this time, everyone realized that it was Lin Yu who questioned the efficacy of the Life-Prolonging Pill, and someone immediately stood up to defend Tamamo Emi, criticizing Lin Yu for not understanding medicine and thinking he was doing so out of personal grudge.

And behind the auction hall, Zhang Yuru and Feng Yuanyuan quietly observed the development of all this.

Feng Yuanyuan said with a trace of sarcasm: "I said long ago that he was here to cause trouble."

Zhang Yuru's brows furrowed when she heard this, and she was so angry that her whole body was trembling.

If Lin Yu sabotaged the cooperation between the Zhang Group and Hanfang Pharmaceutical, it would bring a huge crisis.

Tamamo Emi remained exceptionally calm; she stared at Lin Yu with burning eyes and said with a smile:

"So you are Zhang Yuru's ex-husband. If you cannot prove that this pill cannot prolong life by ten years, then I will accuse you of defamation. According to Daxia law, you will face imprisonment."

Lin Yu smiled contemptuously and responded coldly: "Asking a European professor to test Daxia's pills, don't you find it absurd? Without the data support of this so-called professor, how can you prove that this kind of medicine can really prolong life by ten years?"

In fact, the main function of the Life-Prolonging Pill is to save people on the verge of death, reduce their illness, and thereby achieve the effect of prolonging life.

Although there are cases showing that patients lived for twenty years after taking it, there are also those who only lived for a few months.

Therefore, the life-prolonging effect varies from person to person and needs to be judged according to the specific situation of the patient.

Facing Lin Yu's questioning, Tamamo Emi was speechless for a moment. She knew that what Lin Yu needed was actual clinical evidence, not laboratory data.

However, as the helmsman of Hanfang Pharmaceutical, Tamamo Emi said confidently: "In that case, why don't we find a dying patient to try. As long as the patient can recover, it proves the Life-Prolonging Pill is effective."

Saying this, she looked meaningfully at Zheng Zemin and said: "But please remember, there is only one Life-Prolonging Pill left."

At this time, Hua Yan stood out; his father had just called to inform him that his grandfather's condition was critical.

In order to save his grandfather's life, Hua Yan was willing to pay 500 million to buy the Life-Prolonging Pill.

This decision put Zheng Zemin in a dilemma: 500 million is not a small amount, but if the pill is ineffective, the money is wasted; if it is effective, it is worth more than the price. ===== CHAPTER 63 =====

This decision left Zheng Zemin in a dilemma: five hundred million was not a small amount, but if the pill was ineffective, the money would be wasted; if it were effective, it would be worth more than the price.
