Chapter 1793: Worse than death

Hearing the sincerity in Shi Misi's apology, Wei Liang put away his smile and said seriously, "Mr. Shi Misi, although I am very dissatisfied with you, I have no need to lie to you. I have indeed returned to China. Can't you hear the sound of the airplane engines here? The plane I'm on has just landed and hasn't even come to a complete stop yet."

After saying this, Wei Liang held his phone close to the window, and Shi Misi on the other end immediately heard the roar of the engines.

Hearing the engine noise on the other end of the line, combined with the complete lack of movement in the room before him, Shi Misi immediately realized that Wei Liang had truly left.

In that instant, his emotions completely collapsed. He clutched his forehead and lamented, "Mr. Wei... you... why did you leave without even saying goodbye? At least... at least give me a chance to repent to you..."

"Repentance is unnecessary," Wei Liang said indifferently. "Everyone has different cultures, backgrounds, personalities, upbringing, and even more different levels of insight, so you have nothing to repent to me for. Let's leave it at that; I need to get off the plane."

Shi Misi panicked and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei! Don't hang up yet, I... I still have one thing I want to beg of you. Please, you must help me..."

Wei Liang asked in return, "What is it?"

Shi Misi hurriedly said, "It's that Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill. My son finished a box yesterday, and the effect was excellent, so I want to beg you to give me some more..."

"Impossible," Wei Liang said sternly. "The Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill is extremely precious. I kindly offered you two boxes before, and you didn't want them. I only left you one box because I felt your son was too pitiful. Therefore, it is impossible to give you any more medicine."

Shi Misi slapped himself hard across the face. The 'crack' sound startled Wei Liang on the other end of the phone.

Subsequently, Shi Misi hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei, it was I who didn't know what was good for me! I beg you to sell me some more. Just name your price; no matter how much money it is, I will find a way."

Wei Liang laughed, "Mr. Shi Misi, what kind of joke are you playing with me? In your eyes, isn't the Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill just an 'unapproved product'?"

"It has nothing—no clear ingredients, no clear pharmacokinetics, and certainly no comprehensive clinical trial reports. Such a drug could never be sold in the United States!"

"I gave you a box before, and I believe I inadvertently violated your country's relevant regulations. I have felt deeply ashamed throughout my journey back. How could I possibly sell you such an 'unapproved product' now? Wouldn't I be knowingly breaking the law?"

"Besides, as a law-abiding citizen, how could I ever do something that knowingly breaks the law!"

As he spoke, Wei Liang asked him again, "Mr. Shi Misi, you aren't trying to entrap me, are you?"

Hearing this, Shi Misi felt worse than if he had eaten excrement.

He knew that these words Wei Liang was saying were all things he had said to Wei Liang before.

Now, Wei Liang was using them to refute him, and every single word felt like a heavy slap across his dog-like face.

Extreme shame and embarrassment made his face feel scorching hot; the intense temperature made it hard for him to even open his eyelids.

Any sense of self-esteem had long since turned to ash.

Now, even the last shred of his dignity was completely shattered by this tit-for-tat retaliation.

He had never been humiliated like this in his entire life, but upon careful reflection, he knew: "This isn't someone else humiliating me; this is entirely me humiliating myself..."

Feeling extremely depressed, for the sake of his son, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Wei... I was wrong... everything is my fault! It was my arrogance, my narrow-mindedness, my inability to recognize what was good for me..."

"In short, I am a piece of trash. You are a magnanimous person; please don't lower yourself to the level of someone like me. I only beg you, for the sake of my son suffering from cancer, to give him a chance to survive. He is only 12 years old..."

Wei Liang said seriously, "Mr. Shi Misi, there are millions of children in this world with cancer, and many are even younger than your son. Yet your son is currently the only one who has received the Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill, so I think you should know how to be grateful and content! Countless children like your son die in pain because they cannot get effective treatment. By comparison, your son is already far too lucky."

Shi Misi knew very well that the box of Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pills Wei Liang had given him had already made his son much better, extending his life by at least two or three months or even longer. This was already extremely fortunate.

But for any parent, at a time like this, one is bound to be insatiable.

He had already exhausted all the means of Western technology, and now that he had finally encountered a miracle drug with the chance to completely cure his son, how could he possibly give up?

Even if it killed him, he had to get this medicine to ensure his son's life could be extended.

Although there are great differences between Eastern and Western cultures, in terms of family affection, they are generally the same, especially the selfless devotion of parents toward their children.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei, don't you want this drug to be listed in the United States? I will help you speed up the process! I can issue a special approval order today to let this drug enter for small-scale use in designated medical institutions! When the time comes, we will publish the actual results, and I believe it will surely cause a global sensation. At that time, Jiu Xuan Pharmaceutical will inevitably become the most famous pharmaceutical company in the world overnight..."

He had assumed that as long as he threw this out there, Wei Liang would immediately agree.

After all, this was Wei Liang's greatest demand, and the reason he had traveled thousands of miles to the United States was to solve this problem.

And this was a problem he could completely help him solve.

As the head of the FDA, he still had that much power.

Moreover, this drug was indeed miraculous. If he made an exception and quickly introduced it to the United States, he would surely receive praise and acclaim from the entire nation.

However, Shi Misi did not expect Wei Liang to say in a flat tone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi Misi, but our boss has changed his mind. We are temporarily not putting this drug on the market in the United States because the production volume of this drug is extremely limited. We are planning to tighten supply, so I appreciate your good intentions, but the matter is unnecessary."

After finishing, Wei Liang added, "Mr. Shi Misi, I've been flying for over ten hours and I'm a bit tired, so I won't talk to you anymore. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Liang hung up the phone directly.

At this moment, the resentment that had been building up in Wei Liang's heart was finally swept away.

Previously, in front of Shi Misi, he had been questioned and humiliated in a thousand ways, and he had been holding back a breath of anger in his heart.

Now, the moment he thought of Shi Misi being so anxious on the other end of the phone, he felt a wave of satisfaction.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "When it comes to dealing with people, it has to be Master Ye. Even if I were beaten to death, I could never have come up with this set of tactics... I imagine that Shi Misi must feel worse than death!" ===== CHAPTER 1794 =====
