AWB Chapter 259 Internal Experiment Report
Chapter 259 Internal Experiment Report
As the most authoritative official testing base in the capital, it is usually heavily guarded. Only when special or major cases are involved will its sophisticated testing equipment and cutting-edge technology be put to use.
At this moment, in the brightly lit laboratory, the chief researcher, holding a laser pointer, precisely circled key data points on the projection screen with a red dot, and continued to explain to the audience:
"After testing, these samples all contained the same German-imported lubricant, which happens to be the special formula for which Hengchang Biotechnology just received a patent last quarter."
Below the stage, several men dressed in sharp suits sat solemnly at the conference table.
Time has left its mark on their faces; some have graying temples, and their entire being exudes an aura of authority accumulated over the years, surrounded by the oppressive feeling unique to those in positions of power.
If someone were to barge in at this moment, they would surely mistakenly believe they had stumbled into an important high-level meeting.
What is particularly eye-catching is the young man sitting in the very center.
Compared to his older colleagues, he appeared particularly young, yet his composed demeanor was in no way inferior.
He sat upright at the head of the conference table with his back straight, his posture as upright as a pine tree. Among the group of "big shots", he was not overwhelmed by their presence, but rather remained calm and composed, as if he were in control of the entire room.
This person was Zhou Chengjing.
A few days ago, a hearing caused a major upheaval.
It certainly didn't spread among the general public, but rather stirred up a huge wave within the power circles.
Because of the significant implications, the footage of the hearing was specially processed after it concluded, with all classified information being controlled to avoid triggering a media storm.
Originally, this was just a seemingly ordinary medical safety case.
If nothing went wrong, that day should have been the final hearing for the conviction.
But this hearing, which should have been the final hearing, became the turning point of the entire incident.
The nature of the case took a sharp turn, escalating from a simple medical dispute into a major security incident that could shake the very foundations of society.
Even Zhou Chengjing, who was far away in City A, was alarmed.
He rarely takes the lead in getting involved himself.
But this time is different.
Some of the issues involved in the case were things he had been concerned about for a long time.
Therefore, this time, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
In fact, the whole case cannot withstand scrutiny.
Especially under the detailed analysis of "privilege", all the suspicious points have nowhere to hide.
Today's experimental report is the moment to completely unveil the fabric and expose all the rats and cockroaches.
Listening to the researcher's explanation on stage, Zhou Chengjing smiled with interest and asked gently, "So, you mean that those so-called 'substandard equipment' were replaced by our competitors using their own products?"
The chief researcher adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, maintaining a clear mind despite the pressure from the superiors, and said meticulously, "Based on the current test results, this possibility is extremely high."
The moment the words left his mouth, the air in the meeting room seemed to freeze.
"This is utterly absurd!" An elderly man with graying temples on the left slammed his hand on the table, the sandalwood surface making a dull thud. "Is the regulatory process of the State Drug Administration a mere formality? How can such blatant and malicious commercial warfare occur so openly? How can the public trust the safety of the pharmaceutical market after this?"
The others echoed this sentiment.
“It’s truly unbelievable.” The middle-aged woman sitting diagonally across from me stroked the jade ring on her finger. “Anyone who could access the samples sent for testing must be an insider.”
“My suggestion is to immediately launch an investigation team,” another elderly man in a navy blue suit said, the custom-made cufflinks on his sleeves reflecting a cold light. “We must not only find the culprit who switched the samples, but also thoroughly investigate whether there was any corruption within the drug regulatory agency. If this matter is not severely punished, what credibility will we have left in the future?”
His proposal received nods of approval from many people.
Zhou Chengjing leaned back in his leather chair, his fingertips unconsciously twirling the pen as he listened to the crowd's impassioned words, a hint of coldness creeping into his eyes.
Although these people spoke with indignation, their underlying intention to shirk responsibility was obvious.
—I still intend to downplay the issue and let it go.
The entire case involved more than just one drug regulatory agency.
Such a massive alliance of interests could not have been formed easily. Who is behind this scheme?
Who exactly is the source of the funding chain?
The undercurrent of funds flowing across borders and across borders—to which mastermind's pockets?
These are actually the key points that should be the focus of the entire case.
However, the current discussion seems to be heading in the direction of finding a scapegoat within the drug regulatory authority to trap this mess within the authority itself, cleverly avoiding all of the most critical issues mentioned above.
If they were to form a special investigation team, the final result would likely be disappointing, and they would not be able to find what they were looking for.
As the discussion in the conference room subsided, Zhou Chengjing slowly unbuttoned the top button of his suit jacket with his long, slender fingers, casually scanning every face present.
These high-ranking and powerful individuals come from different factions, and each of them is a force to be reckoned with.
But the relationships behind each of them are intricate and intertwined, an inevitable consequence of power.
Therefore, each of them had a different attitude towards this incident.
If it involves their own interests, they would be eager to close the case as soon as possible.
If it has nothing to do with them, most people will follow suit and make a few comments, or simply remain silent.
Watching these people perform in front of him, Zhou Chengjing found it amusing, but he had had enough. He promptly interrupted, "So, you all mean to arrest a few people and then hastily close the case?"
This statement was rather blunt, drawing stares from everyone.
But no one dared to refute Zhou Chengjing's words; his momentum had been too strong lately.
Moreover, his position is so untouchable that most people can't touch him, and if you offend him, you'll most likely suffer the consequences.
Zhou Chengjing spoke in a relaxed tone, yet with an invisible pressure: "The flow of Hengchang Biotechnology's patented formula and the loopholes in the testing process—these clues involve more than just one drug regulatory agency."
Before anyone could respond, Zhou Chengjing continued, "I will personally set up a special investigation team to start with all the departments involved. Rather than finding a scapegoat, we should start with the real clues."
The crowd exchanged glances, some hesitant to speak, but Zhou Chengjing raised his hand to interrupt them: "It involves public safety issues. Procedurally, this investigation was completely reasonable and compliant with regulations. I was already being polite by notifying you in advance."
After he finished speaking, he smiled "kindly" again and asked, "Any other questions?"
