Xue Ruiwen instantly became the focus of everyone's attention!
Even the cameras were trained on him!
"Isn't this Director Xue, that scumbag from Western Medicine?"
"That's right, I heard he resigned, why is he here?"
"Can what he says be trusted?"
"Kick him out, he's here to cause trouble!"
The students from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department spoke one after another!
Those watching the live broadcast on television, though they hadn't seen Xue Ruiwen before, knew of such a person!
Xue Ruiwen ignored the sneers and taunts and walked directly to Director Liu. Facing countless cameras and billions of viewers, he declared, "I have evidence to prove that Li Muya's laboratory did not develop the CN3 vaccine. Everything they said is false!"
A reporter asked, "What evidence do you have to prove they are lying?"
Xue Ruiwen smiled faintly, "As everyone knows, after a new pharmaceutical product is developed, it must undergo two stages of in-vivo experiments: the first on mice, and the second on rhesus monkeys!"
"Compared to rhesus monkeys, mice are readily available!"
"But rhesus monkeys are different. The genetic sequence of these monkeys is astonishingly 95% similar to humans!"
"Furthermore, a female rhesus monkey can give birth to at most two offspring in her lifetime."
"Currently, they are priceless on the international market and simply cannot be bought!"
"And to my knowledge, the rhesus monkeys Li Muya purchased at a high price suffocated to death during transportation. They were unable to conduct the final in-vivo experiment!"
"According to legal regulations, if the second stage of in-vivo experiments cannot be completed, the drug cannot be announced as successfully developed, nor can it be injected into people!"
"Yet, Director Li now claims that CN3 has been injected into three patients. This is an illegal act, and such behavior is irresponsible to the general public!"
The atmosphere at the scene instantly shifted!
Everyone looked at Li Muya with doubt, hoping she could provide a reasonable explanation!
After all, announcing such news without successful development was quite despicable!
Li Muya walked onto the stage with a calm expression and met his gaze, "Mr. Xue, how do you know we did not conduct the final in-vivo experiment?"
Xue Ruiwen sneered, "Just answer me one question: did the rhesus monkey you purchased accidentally die?"
Many people held their breath!
They knew this was a crucial question!
If the rhesus monkey Li Muya purchased had died, then Xue Ruiwen's words would be true!
Li Muya stated calmly, "Yes!"
Xue Ruiwen grinned, "So, how did you complete the second stage of in-vivo experiments? Do you happen to have another rhesus monkey?"
Li Muya said, "Before I answer that, I would like to ask Mr. Xue how you knew our rhesus monkey met with an accident?"
Xue Ruiwen's face changed drastically!
He couldn't possibly say that he was the one who caused the rhesus monkey's death!
He regained his composure and impatiently said, "How I knew is not important. What is important is that you answer my previous question."
"You don't even have a rhesus monkey, so how could you conduct the second stage of in-vivo experiments?"
"Without completing the second stage of in-vivo experiments, you held a press conference, announced the successful development of CN3 to the public, and even promoted it nationwide. Are you saving people or harming them?"
"Is this behavior worthy of Hepatitis B patients?"
"Have you abandoned medical ethics for the sake of reputation?"
As these words were spoken, many looked at Li Muya with hostility and anger in their eyes!
If Xue Ruiwen was telling the truth, then the nature of this matter would be extremely serious!
It could even become the biggest scandal in the entire medical community!
However, Li Muya remained calm, "I will provide an explanation to the public regarding this matter, but before that, you must tell me how you knew our rhesus monkey met with an accident?"
Xue Ruiwen gritted his teeth and said, "You are trying to avoid the main issue, this question is not important at all!"
Li Muya suppressed her anger and looked at the cameras and everyone present, "There is something I need to clarify for everyone. The live rhesus monkeys we purchased at a high price overseas died due to a malfunction in the air conditioning of the shipping container during transportation."
"Not just our rhesus monkeys, but all thirty-two live specimens from the same batch also unfortunately died!"
"This was an accident that had never happened during customs clearance!"
"But!"
"Was it truly an accident?"
"If it was an accident, why was it so coincidental, happening just before our press conference?"
"If we couldn't complete the second stage of in-vivo experiments, then our Traditional Chinese Medicine department would be disgraced today and become a laughingstock in the eyes of the world!"
A reporter asked, "Director Li, do you suspect a conspiracy?"
Li Muya nodded, "Although I don't want to believe it!"
"But the facts prove!"
"This is indeed a conspiracy targeting the Traditional Chinese Medicine department and billions of Hepatitis B patients on Earth!"
"After the incident, customs clearance took the matter very seriously and signed non-disclosure agreements with all involved parties, strictly prohibiting the leak of information about the accidental death of the live specimens!"
Ye Wanzhi stepped onto the stage, handed a thick stack of A4 papers to Li Muya, and then turned to leave!
Li Muya said, "These are the confidentiality agreements signed by customs clearance and other laboratory partners!"
"In other words, besides the people present that day, no outsiders knew about the misfortune that befell the rhesus monkeys!"
She then looked at Xue Ruiwen, whose face was sallow, and said coldly, "Please answer me truthfully, Mr. Xue, through what channel did you learn about the misfortune that befell the rhesus monkeys?"
"Does it still need asking? This guy is the murderer of the rhesus monkeys!"
"Heavens, he was a department head before, how can he question someone else's medical ethics? Does he have any himself?"
"This scumbag is not even fit to be human!"
"I really want to strangle this bastard to death!"
The people at the scene and those watching the live broadcast were furious!
The situation was now clear!
No matter how Xue Ruiwen explained, it would be difficult to absolve himself of the crime of killing the rhesus monkeys!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about the accidental death of the rhesus monkeys Li Muya purchased overseas!
This was purely an act of revenge!
Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of his control, Xue Ruiwen completely dropped all pretense, "Yes, I admit it. I had people tamper with the air conditioning of the container. I just couldn't let you complete the second stage of in-vivo experiments!"
"But, can you give me, and the general public, an explanation?"
"You didn't have any rhesus monkeys, so how did you complete the in-vivo experiments?"
"Without conducting in-vivo experiments, how could you announce the development of the CN3 vaccine to the public?"
At this moment!
Li Muya became the focus of everyone's attention!
Xue Ruiwen's actions were indeed despicable, but if Li Muya had not completed the second stage of in-vivo experiments, their actions would have been far more heinous than Xue Ruiwen's!
Li Muya, with a complex mood, said, "I have a VCR here. After you watch it, you will naturally know whether we have completed the second stage of in-vivo experiments!"
As she spoke, a surveillance video appeared on the large screen behind her!
