Chapter 1817: Highest-level strategic material

Song Wanting heard Ye Chen say that the promotion and registration for the Rejuvenation Pill auction would start tomorrow, so she hurriedly said to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, I have selected three candidate auctioneers for the auction. Would you like to take a look and screen them first?"

Ye Chen nodded and laughed: "Good, the auctioneer is very important for an auction, so we must choose carefully."

Song Wanting hurriedly took out her phone, flipped through several videos from her album, and played them for Ye Chen one by one, introducing: "Master Ye, these three auctioneers are all very senior auctioneers at Jiqing Hall. Although their qualifications and experience cannot compare to those well-known auctioneers at Christie's or Sotheby's, they are definitely the best in Jin Ling."

Ye Chen patiently finished watching the three videos Song Wanting showed. These three candidate auctioneers were two women and one man, all around forty years old. Their image, temperament, and eloquence, and even their voice, could be considered above average. Any one of them should be able to handle the job.

However, Ye Chen always felt that these three people seemed to be missing something.

After glancing at Song Wanting in front of him, Ye Chen realized what these three were missing.

What they were missing was the temperament of a lady from a noble family, dignified and beautiful, like Song Wanting.

As an old friend of Song Wanting, Ye Chen had always appreciated Song Wanting's temperament very much.

Although Song Wanting was not a young lady from a top family, in terms of her personal temperament, she was not inferior to any top socialite.

If she could serve as the auctioneer for this auction, she would definitely be the most suitable candidate, none other.

Thus, Ye Chen said to Song Wanting: "Wanting, in my opinion, for this auctioneer, no one is more suitable than you!"

"Me?" Song Wanting said somewhat nervously: "Master Ye, I haven't been an auctioneer before..."

Ye Chen laughed: "It doesn't matter if you haven't done it before. Anyway, there are almost twenty days until the auction, so you can completely practice the auctioneer's rhetoric and skills."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Wanting, there is no second person in the entire Jin Ling more suitable than you, and you are the head of the Song family. If you serve as the auctioneer for this auction, you can also leave a deep impression on the top dignitaries present, which will definitely be beneficial and harmless to the future development of the Song family."

Song Wanting hesitated for a moment, nodded lightly, and blurted out: "Since Master Ye said so, I will give it a try!"

After speaking, Song Wanting remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Master Ye, will you be at the scene? With such a large target, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it..."

Ye Chen laughed: "I will watch the live broadcast in the monitoring room at that time. On the day of the auction, you can wear an earpiece, and if there is any situation, I will communicate with you directly through the earpiece."

Song Wanting breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Then I can rest assured!"

At this very moment.

Washington, USA.

At the research center provided by the military, multiple teams were still trying their best to use various metaphysical means to crack the formula of the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill.

However, no matter how they tried, the pills they manufactured had no therapeutic effect on cancer cells.

Although only a few short days had passed, Shi Misi and Rogers were already losing patience.

While the reverse engineering here had no results, Rogers received a special order from the highest level brought by a White House special envoy.

The order required Rogers to take out ten boxes of Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills and hand them over to the special envoy sent by the White House, to be strictly kept as highest-level strategic material along with the nuclear bomb briefcase.

This instantly put Rogers in an extremely difficult situation.

The Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills that Shi Misi brought back totaled twenty boxes, one hundred and forty pills.

Four boxes were left for Shi Misi's son, Jimmy, and the rest, besides being used for reverse engineering, had to be distributed to the four patients the White House had previously inserted.

It was already stretched thin.

Now, the special envoy actually wanted to take away ten boxes as strategic material. In this way, he almost had nothing left.

Rogers couldn't help but complain to the special envoy: "Mr. Special Envoy, Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical's control over this medicine is already extremely strict. Not only do they not release it to the outside world, but even their hundred-person drug trial in China is a completely closed-loop operation, just like we use medicine on patients in the base. Every pill must be watched as the patient eats it. In this situation, once these twenty boxes of Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills are used up, it won't be so easy for us to get our hands on them again!"

The special envoy said very seriously: "The high-level asked me to set aside ten boxes as a strategic reserve, also out of this consideration. What if our high-level needs to use this medicine one day?"

Rogers said helplessly: "But you can't take away so many at once. At this rate, we can hold on for at most a few more days, and this medicine will be gone..."

The special envoy said unquestioningly: "Mr. Rogers, you can find a way to overcome the difficulties on your side. If it really doesn't work, you can terminate your clinical trials first, which will save you most of the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills."

Although the White House had many incredible big shots, the special envoy only served the highest level of the White House.

And those few patients participating in the drug trial were not relatives of the highest level, so the highest level's idea was also very simple: while this medicine is still here, leave a backup for themselves first. As for the relatives of others, it was only right and proper to give them up when necessary.

Rogers felt his head swell like a bucket.

The special envoy couldn't be bothered to care about his difficulty and said coldly: "Mr. Rogers, because this medicine is now the highest-level strategic material, if you don't give me the medicine immediately, I can authorize the FBI to arrest you on charges of threatening national security!"

Rogers knew that the other side wasn't joking.

Once this thing was defined as the highest level, it concerned national security. If he disobeyed the order, his political career would be over.

Thus, he didn't dare to disobey the order brought by the special envoy and could only take ten boxes from the remaining Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills and hand them to the special envoy.

After the special envoy got the medicine, he immediately left the base by armed helicopter. Rogers could only hurriedly gather the clinical doctors and demand that they stop the medication for the other four patients starting today. As for Shi Misi's son, Jimmy, reserve one box of medication for him. After he finishes this box, if he can't get extra Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills, then stop his medication too.

This matter soon reached Shi Misi's ears.

When he heard about it, he immediately rushed into Rogers' office and blurted out, questioning him loudly: "Rogers! Didn't you say you reserved four boxes of medicine for my son?! Why did the doctor just say that after he finishes the last box, they are going to prepare to put him on conventional chemotherapy drugs?!"

Rogers said helplessly: "Shi Misi, I don't want to break my promise either, but the special envoy from the White House just took ten boxes of Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pills from me. Now those ten boxes of medicine have become the highest-level strategic material. I don't need to explain to you what that means, right?"

Shi Misi, hearing this, instantly felt like a deflated ball.

He understood Rogers' meaning very well. In this situation, neither of them had any say and could only obey orders.

Rogers sighed at this time and said: "Now we can only pin our hopes on Nakamura Junpei. If he can reverse engineer the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill in Jin Ling, all problems will be solved!" ===== CHAPTER 1818 =====
