Medical Sovereign Chapter 380 - Car Crash

Tom Cruise and others were dumbfounded and transfixed when they saw that the patients, who had been carried there lifeless, got up from the beds in high spirits and thanked Ding Ning with tearful eyes after Ding Ning cured them.

Traditional Chinese medicine had always been abandoned by the international medical community and gradually had no influence because of its slow effectiveness. However, when did it have a quicker effect than Western medicine?

If it had not been that they all had a profound medical background, coupled with that they had the medical records provided by the hospital and had personally checked the patient’s condition and made sure that those were real patients, they would have thought that the hospital had colluded with Ding Ning to deceive them.

This gave them a new understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, and at the same time, they deeply admired Ding Ning’s magical medical skills.

“Dear Ding, my friend, you are so amazing. I am really glad to meet you. I will have your article about traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia printed immediately after I go back. It will be published in our journal next month. As for your articles about Rice Bean Oral Solution and Rice Bean Microorganism, we can’t publish them now until the results of clinical tests on them come out. But you can rest a.s.sured that as long as the results come out and we get the specific data, I will publish them as soon as possible. I believe that you can make it.”

Tom Cruise watched Ding Ning’s two articles on “Rice Bean Microorganism” and “Rice Bean Oral Solution” carefully and promised solemnly.

The two sides exchanged their phone numbers in a friendly atmosphere. Tom’s statement meant that Ding Ning’s articles being published in Lancet had become a matter of course.

This not only showed that Ding Ning had won Tom’s recognition, but also meant in a profound way that Ding Ning had finally and officially stepped onto the international stage from a doctor who was only well-known in Shenzhou and would be known to more medical enthusiasts and rank among the internationally influential doctors, given the huge influence of Lancet in the medical world.

Tom dared not to imagine after Rice Bean Oral Solution pa.s.sed the clinical tests, what a great shock it would bring to the international medical community. It would be a great historical change that disrupted the medical community.

The invention of the traditional Chinese medicine anesthesia method, which had no side effects and would not stimulate the brain, had given birth to a new profession— traditional Chinese medicine anesthesiologists. This method would replace the western medicine anesthesia, which had side effects, and officially enter the stage of history.

The discovery of Rice Bean Microorganisms and the production of pure traditional Chinese medicine medicaments, which could replace antibiotics and were safe with no side effects, would give western medicine a fatal blow once they pa.s.sed the clinical tests. This also might mean that Western medicine, which had occupied most of the medical markets in Shenzhou would be frustrated hard by the rise of traditional Chinese medicine and gave up its share in medical markets in Shenzhou.

This was a life-and-death war between Chinese and Western medicines, and was also the first collision between Chinese and Western civilizations. Tom was looking forward to seeing what kind of miracle Ding Ning could create again.

Maybe it was because Tom had a good impression of Ding Ning, maybe because he had some expectations on Ding Ning, or maybe because he had received two gifts from Ding Ning, despite that he was a Westerner, Tom still reminded Ding Ning carefully that the pharmaceutical giants with monopoly positions in international were ruthless and greedy, and that those giants made huge profits from the medical market every year and would never sit by watching the rise of Chinese medicine. He told Ding Ning to be careful because Ding Ning had blocked their path of wealth.

Ding Ning agreed with Tom but did not take it seriously. It was like killing others’ parents by blocking their path of wealth. If it were Ding Ning himself, he would not let those who stole his cake from him go either. However, even facing this, he would only study medicine harder, find out the gap between him and his opponents, face the difficulty head-on, and defeat his opponents with products that were better and had more market shares. After all, only fair compet.i.tions could promote social development in a good way.

Tom sighed secretly after seeing that his reminder failed to draw enough attention from Ding Ning. “After all, he is still young and hasn’t seen the cruelty of the world or realized how cruel and terrifying these pharmaceutical giants could be when they fight for benefits.” Tom thought to himself.

Marx once said, “If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks for it. If there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws. If there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.”

Shenzhou had a population of nearly 1.5 billion people. There was no need to make tautology about how tempting this large piece of cake was. The profits that Western medicines, which had occupied most of the medical markets in Shenzhou, gained from the medical markets in Shenzhou had far exceeded 300%. From this, one could tell how cruel and dangerous the fight for it would be.

It should be noted that the monopoly was the way to maximize the benefits in this world; otherwise, the foreign countries would not have made Anti-Trust Laws.

However, when those pharmaceutical giants were overthrown from their monopolistic positions in the pharmaceutical market by a young man from Shenzhou, in a way that he did not share their cakes but made more delicious cakes himself and became self-sufficient without joining hands with these capitalists, one could imagine how these international giants would respond to this.

Tom, who knew well about it, could foresee Ding Ning’s end— one was that he would be suppressed or even killed by those various pharmaceutical giants, who showed no mercy in the fight for the capital; one was that Ding Ning would be drawn over to those giants’ side and under their control as a tool to make money; the last one was that Ding Ning would reach a cooperation agreement with them, while those giants gained most of the benefits and Ding Ning gained the some insignificant benefits, which, however, could make him as rich as a country.

In Tom’s opinion, the last possibility was the most ideal ending for Ding Ning that he could imagine.

After all, Ding Ning was just a doctor. He could not compare with those treacherous medical tyc.o.o.ns in terms of capital operation. It was easy for those tyc.o.o.ns to swallow Ding Ning like a crocodile swallowing a little fish.

Tom admired Ding Ning from the bottom of his heart, so he sincerely hoped that those pharmaceutical giants would see Ding Ning’s great value and would not kill him for benefits in short run, but would promote the vigorous development of medical civilization in the entire world in a win-win way.

After Ding Ning invited the a.s.sessment team for dinner, treated them with Shenzhou foods, gave each of them one bottle of haemostatic powder and one bottle of scar cream, and sent them aboard the next morning, the a.s.sessment drew to an end in laughter.

Now, Ding Ning only needed to wait for his article to be published in Lancet in the next month.

When driving his newly repaired Phaeton on the airport highway, Ding Ning felt very happy. Last night, he learned a few more ways to make talismans, which made him feel the profoundness of Dao of talismans even more. Plus he had a deep sleep last night, his slumped two-faced Buddha seemed to be recovering.

After Ding Ning’s sister had a talk with Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang no longer made demands toward Ding Ning and his sister despite that he was still strict to them.

Living with his sister made Ding Ning feel very at ease. The only thing that was inconvenient to him was that he couldn’t do whatever he wanted to do with Luoxue anymore. After all, his sister lived in the next door and definitely could hear any noise they made given that she was in the realm of Earth Martial Arts. By then, it would be really embarra.s.sing.

“Crunch!”

As soon as Ding Ning got off the airport expressway, wondering whether to go to find Ling Yun to solve his physiological demands, a warning sign suddenly appeared in front of him, which said, “Road under Repair, Please Detour!”

Next to it was another sign with an arrow pointing to a side road on it.

“The road was in good condition just now when I came. Why is it under repair now?”

Ding Ning muttered and did not pay much attention to it. Thinking that it was just to make a detour about a dozen kilometers more, he changed the direction and drove onto the side road.

The side road was an asphalt road. Although it was also level, it was too narrow compared with the eight-lane roads. It could at most accommodate two cars crossing each other, and there were crop fields on both sides of the road.

Fortunately, there were not many people rus.h.i.+ng to the early flight that day, so, there were only a dozen vehicles detouring like his car. Half an hour later, after pa.s.sing through a rural town and a few forks in the road, Ding Ning only saw few cars on the road he was driving on.

“Boom!”

There were deafening sounds in front of him. Ding Ning saw an oncoming truck carrying cement bypa.s.sed the vehicles in front of him and crashed toward his car as if out of control when they were about to pa.s.s each other.

This extremely dangerous warning made Ding Ning’s heart sank. He turned the steering wheel to the left desperately, and almost half of his car was suspended in the air. He displayed a beautiful car drifting the moment he was about to be hit and dodged the cement car in this extremely dangerous situation.

“Crunch!”

Ding Ning broke out in cold sweats and stopped the car hastily in the middle of the road. He was in a burst of anger and wondered if the driver of the cement truck either was drunk or had taken drugs. “Fu*k! He is a typical road killer!”

As Ding Ning was about to get out of the car and lecture the driver of the cement truck, who also braked suddenly on the side of the road, he had a strong sense of danger again.

“Boom!”

The cement truck suddenly moved backward and crashed toward Ding Ning’s car, and at the same time, there were two more cement trucks in front of and behind Ding Ning respectively on the narrow road. They blocked the entire road and crashed toward Ding Ning’s car.

No matter how slow Ding Ning was in reaction, he knew that these cement trucks had bad intentions. When he thought of the road suddenly under repair before, he came to the realization that this was a trap someone set up to kill him.

In such a desolate place, these cement trucks blocked the road both in front of and behind Ding Ning. It seemed that they wanted to smash Ding Ning’s Phaeton into sc.r.a.p iron, and crash him into meat sauce.

Now, Ding Ning’s only way to escape was to abandon his car and run away himself. However, Ding Ning believed that since these people wanted to kill him, they possibly had thought that he would abandon his car to escape. Thus, he guessed that after he abandoned his car, there would be a series of traps waiting for him.

Everything happened so suddenly and quickly. When the killers thought that Ding Ning was scared out of his wits and certain to die, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly stepped on the gas pedal to speed up, dodged the first cement truck, and crashed toward the two trucks in front of him.

“Is this kid scared out of his wits? Does he think his car a tank?”

On a soil slope not far from Ding Ning, a dwarf sitting on the shoulder of a giant man saw the scene and said in confusion.

“I’m wondering if this guy has carried his treasures with him. I hope he won’t be crushed to death; otherwise, we will keep ourselves busy for nothing.”

Demon of Fire said with worries while touching his chin.

“Don’t worry. Since he has defeated Long Xiaotian, even if he is not in the realm of Sky Martial Arts, he should be in the realm of Earth Martial Arts. So he won’t die easily,” said a Taoist who had snowy-white hair and eyebrows with the end of his eyebrows down to his cheeks.

.

“It’s best for us that he will be badly wounded and disabled in the car crash. Then, we can grab the treasures from him directly. I’m a little frightened at this man since he could kill Gui Sou. Now, he is seeking for death himself, saving a lot of troubles for us.”

A bald monk wearing a greasy and grungy monk robe said with a crying expression on his face while touching his head.

“Why I got a feeling that it is not so simple. That man doesn’t seem to be so stupid.”

The dwarf looked very confused.

“Boom!”

When the four of them were very confused and couldn’t figure out what Ding Ning was thinking, they saw that Ding Ning’s Phaeton was suddenly shrouded in a layer of golden light and crashed into between the two cement trucks which ran side by side, like a mad rhino.

The two cement trucks fell flying backward as if they had been hit by a running train. There was a huge booming sound as the trucks kept rolling in the crop fields. Many crops were destroyed, and it was obvious that the men in the trucks were unable to survive.

However, the Phaeton kept running forward fast without any obstacles in its way, only that its headstock was slightly pushed in.
