At Mayo Clinic, Mabus finally got his wish and began using Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug.

He experienced the drug's miraculous effects firsthand. Not only did it work quickly, but it also had virtually no side effects, causing absolutely no disruption to his daily life or work.

It was vastly superior to the Eagle Country cancer drug he had taken when he was first diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.

He never wanted to use cancer drugs from Eagle Country pharmaceutical companies again. The side effects were unbearable, and they worked slowly. After taking them for just a few days, he was vomiting and suffering from diarrhea, while his already sparse hairline became even more of a lost cause.

His own body would not lie to him. Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug was indeed as good as the rumors claimed.

According to the clinical trial data, an early-stage patient like him, whose condition was not too severe, should recover quickly and regain full health.

This experience completely opened the door to a new world for him, and he began paying attention to this Eastern pharmaceutical company called Sanqing.

In high spirits, Mabus flipped through Sanqing's detailed information.

His eyes suddenly lit up. Sanqing actually had a hangover remedy too?

And a Whitening and Spot-Removing Drug?

It seemed this pharmaceutical company was stronger than he had imagined and had not succeeded purely through luck.

The whitening drug was one thing, but this hangover remedy looked especially appealing.

Although he was Buddhist and vegetarian, that did not stop him from loving alcohol.

Since the hangover remedy could protect the liver, its health benefits were presumably quite good as well. It was worth trying.

He snapped his fingers and handed the documents to the assistant who had just entered. "Go, get me a few bottles of this hangover remedy right away. Once I'm better, I'm opening champagne to celebrate and drinking until I drop. It'll come in handy."

Then, he picked up his phone and contentedly posted a tweet.

"My treatment at Mayo has gone very smoothly. Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug saved my pancreas. This is a miracle of modern technology, and I'm deeply grateful! I'm bursting with energy and feel like I'll be landing on Mars very soon."

The moment the tweet was posted, it sparked frenzied adoration from his fans.

"Mabus defeated cancer so easily. Sure enough, even illness has to retreat before him."

"The God of Technology is invincible and will surely live forever on Mars."

"Oh God, let this cancer drug hit the market soon. It will be the hope of ordinary cancer patients like us."

At that moment, a trending news story caught the attention of Eagle Country netizens and swiftly caused a huge uproar.

"What? The head of the FDA was arrested?"

"Just as I thought. That official, Josen, definitely had problems! What a despicable, shameless parasite."

"The news says this Josen colluded with pharmaceutical companies, specifically giving the green light to expensive drugs with limited effectiveness, while blocking genuinely effective drugs like Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug and refusing to let them go on the market."

"The FDA says it was all Josen's fault. They've now replaced him with a more professional and incorruptible official, and they will certainly streamline the process and specially approve Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug for immediate release."

"They also said they hoped pharmaceutical companies around the world would not form any negative impression of the FDA in Eagle Country because of Josen's personal actions. The FDA remains a symbol of fairness, and Eagle Country remains an open country, welcoming new breakthrough drugs from pharmaceutical companies worldwide to undergo clinical trials and enter the market in Eagle Country."

"My God, the FDA has always been so tough. They actually gave in?"

"Wow, just how miraculous is this cancer drug? Not only has Mabus fallen for it, but even the FDA has to bow before it."

"The mysterious East has miraculous medicines. That makes perfect sense."

This wave also reached the country, where many domestic netizens began discussing the matter. They were all very curious why the arrest of the FDA's head in Eagle Country had suddenly been reposted by so many domestic media outlets.

After reading some news reports and screenshots of Mabus's tweet, domestic netizens finally realized that it was all related to Sanqing's cancer drug.

The netizens were instantly astonished. A domestic pharmaceutical company could actually influence the replacement of the FDA's head?

Did Sanqing really have that much influence in Eagle Country?

After all, the pharmaceutical industry was not considered a pillar industry domestically, and its global influence was even weaker.

The world's top pharmaceutical companies were all in Europa and Eagle Country, while Asia's leading pharmaceutical companies were in Sakura Country.

Domestic pharmaceutical companies simply did not have the strength to make Eagle Country take them seriously.

Only Sanqing could probably manage something like forcing the FDA's head from office.

After all, even Mabus was taking Sanqing's cancer drug.

With the precious life of the world's richest man at stake, how could Eagle Country not take it seriously?

Domestic netizens immediately felt proud and exhilarated, flooding Wei Kang's Langbo with comments.

"FBI Warning!"

"President Wei, you took out the FDA's head all by yourself. How does it feel?"

"President Wei is mighty! When Sanqing marches forth, it is invincible and leaves not a blade of grass behind!"

"After taking Sanqing's medicine, Mabus felt like he was back in action. When he landed on Mars, tears streamed down his face. Without Sanqing, there would be no me on Mars, so it was actually Sanqing that conquered Mars."

"The person above is right. That makes perfect sense!"

"Makes sense +1"

Of course, the question asked most often was still the same one.

"President Wei, why is your cancer drug about to launch in Eagle Country while there's no news domestically?"

"Exactly. When will Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug be released? We patients have waited so long the flowers have withered."

"I'm going to cry myself to death. Only Kun City First People's Hospital has clinical trials for the anti-cancer drug, but it's impossible to get a spot. I signed up yesterday and was already number 100,501 in line."

"Gasp! That's terrifying. Did cancer patients from all over the country sign up?"

"President Wei, save me! Even though I'm an early-stage cancer patient, I want to defeat this illness sooner, not be defeated by it sooner."

"When will the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug be released?"

"When will the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug be released?"

"When will the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug be released?"

The netizens' urgent demands and questions instantly swelled into a towering wave across the internet.

The media added fuel to the flames as well.

Netizens began asking one question after another.

"Why is the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug taking so long to launch? How did Eagle Country get ahead of us?"

"What exactly is causing the delay in the launch of this anti-cancer drug?"

"Are our drug regulatory procedures too slow? Is there some problem here?"

"For miracle drugs, shouldn't special cases receive special approval?"

Amid the deafening clamor online, a discordant voice suddenly emerged and swiftly climbed to the trending searches.

"I am an overseas Chinese person in Eagle Country, and I am also a terminal cancer patient receiving treatment at Anderson Cancer Center. Recently, the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug has become incredibly famous. Filled with hope for a domestic-made drug, I went to ask my attending physician about it. As a result, he told me a very unfortunate piece of news."

"The Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug is outrageously expensive overseas. It is simply not something an ordinary person like me can afford."

"A full month of treatment costs a staggering one million US dollars in total—several times more expensive than ordinary miracle anti-cancer drugs."

"Not only is the price infuriating, but the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug also refuses all clinical trial applications from Chinese people. Every Chinese person around me, even Asians, who applied to Pfizer for clinical trials was rejected, and no convincing reason was given. This is blatant discrimination."

"Furthermore, the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug cannot be covered by ordinary commercial insurance. The commercial insurance plans that do cover it are extremely expensive, several times the price of normal plans. This is enough to drive ordinary people into despair."

"We were all happy about the rise of domestic high-tech companies, but we never expected Sanqing to treat us overseas Chinese patients like this. They have truly broken our hearts!"

"May I ask Sanqing Pharmaceutical, is this how you make money overseas—by sucking the blood of overseas Chinese people? Do overseas cancer patients have no human rights?"

"And you domestic patients shouldn't celebrate too soon. The Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug was never intended for ordinary people like you. Even if it isn't as expensive domestically, it can't possibly be cheap!"

"Treatment costs in the millions—you couldn't afford it even if you sold everything you owned, heh heh."

"Don't let yourselves be fooled. Sanqing is, at its core, a heartless capitalist sucking the blood of overseas patients."

The patient also posted his medical records and several photographs of himself receiving treatment at the Anderson clinic, tearfully accusing the Sanqing Anti-Cancer Drug's astronomical price of being utterly inhumane and causing enormous harm to overseas patients.

This explosive trending post instantly set the entire internet ablaze, and netizens everywhere erupted.
