Chapter 519: Chapter 244 Terminal Illness Hospital_2 Chapter 519: Chapter 244 Terminal Illness Hospital_2 Yan Fei said, “Little Rou, actually, quite some time ago, I funded a team specifically dedicated to researching traditional Chinese medicine and medicines. The traditional Chinese medical researchers on this team have been studying Chinese medicine and Chinese medicines their entire lives, and their experience in traditional Chinese medicine is extremely rich. Building upon the foundation of preceding traditional Chinese medical theories, they discovered an important theory hidden within the traditional Chinese medical texts and, based on this theory, developed some practical Chinese medicines. The first batch of medicine they created is capable of curing AIDS, and this medicine has already completed clinical trials. The experiments show that they have a 100% success rate in eradicating the HIV virus in the human body.”

Wen Rou was shocked and turned pale. Being an insider, she naturally understood the pathogenesis of AIDS and the suffering of AIDS patients. She also knew that some laboratories were researching medicines that could treat AIDS. But over the years, no one had found a method to completely kill the HIV virus, which led those suffering from AIDS to die in despair. Now, to hear that Chinese traditional medicine actually had a way to cure HIV, she found it somewhat incredible and asked, “Little Fei, I'm not trying to question you, but do your traditional Chinese medicine doctors really know how to research the HIV virus? Do they know how to conduct clinical trials? Do they understand how the HIV virus is eradicated by the medicine?”

Yan Fei smiled and said, “Little Rou, although you grew up in the United States of America, at your core, you are Chinese, so you should have confidence in the historical heritage of your own people. Our Chinese medicine is advancing with the times. Everything you mentioned, we have researched, which is why we were able to produce a medicine that treats the HIV virus. You might not believe others, but don't you believe me?”

Wen Rou thought for a moment and agreed, “The world is full of wonders. Perhaps I really am ignorant. Before, no one thought to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat AIDS patients. Maybe traditional Chinese medicine really can eradicate the HIV virus.”

Yan Fei said, “That traditional Chinese medicine team has developed different medicines for several incurable diseases, but they have only completed the clinical trials for the AIDS medicine, verifying the therapeutic effect of the medicine that treats the HIV virus. However, they will soon conduct clinical trials on the other medicines for incurable diseases, and I believe it won't be long before new medicines for treating incurable diseases are introduced.”

Wen Rou asked, “Little Fei, if you truly have a medicine that can treat AIDS, then why don't you produce it and sell it to the whole world? You should know that there's a huge demand for this medicine. I believe you could definitely earn more money than from running the terminal illness hospital. Wouldn't that help you better develop Misty Island?”

Yan Fei sighed and said, “Little Rou, do you think once it's known that we have such a large piece of land on Misty Island and that we've built so many buildings on it, there won't be people eyeing our land?”

Wen Rou hesitated and then said, “That… there should be… some, right?”

Yan Fei said, “There definitely will be, for sure. I believe that the first to come looking for trouble, wanting to snatch Misty Island away, will be the very United States of America where you used to live.”

Previously, Wen Rou had always lived in the United States of America, immersed in the illusory world of freedom and democracy as promoted by the country. She always believed the United States was a paradise, the most perfect country in the world. But after that paranoid old President took office, he tore down the facade that the United States used to cloak its so-called universal values, displaying the country's hegemony to the people of the world for the first time. It was then that Wen Rou realized the true nature of the United States–it was not the utopia she had thought it to be. The United States had its selfish side. Therefore, she knew that once the United States discovered Misty Island's true situation, it would certainly come to seize it.

Seeing Wen Rou at a loss for words, Yan Fei continued, “It's not just the United States that wants to pick the fruits of our labor. Our neighbor to the west, Japan, will definitely go back on their word and object to us buying Misty Island, trying every means to take Misty Island back. If things truly develop to that stage, how should I protect my lawful property?”

Wen Rou, having been reminded by Yan Fei, her eyes lit up as she said, “Ah, I understand now! Our strength is no match for The United States of America and Japan, so if we confront them head-on, we will certainly lose. However, we have a trump card in our hands, which is the Terminal Illness Hospital. We will first promote that the Terminal Illness Hospital can treat all kinds of incurable diseases, and to prove our strength, we will cure AIDS patients. This way, everyone will believe that we truly have the capability to treat incurable diseases. Then, as long as anyone dares to attack us openly, our Terminal Illness Hospital will announce that we will not treat incurable disease patients from their countries. This will allow us to use the public within their own countries to pressure their governments, ensuring they dare not confront us.”

Yan Fei was very satisfied with Wen Rou's realization and said, “Good, the Terminal Illness Hospital is our chip against foreign invasions. Whether it is The United States of America or Japan, there are many wealthy people within their borders who are afraid of death. Among these rich people are those afflicted with incurable diseases who, before our Terminal Illness Hospital appeared, could only wait to die silently. But now that they know there is a hospital that can treat incurable diseases, they will unleash incredible strength to prevent their countries from offending us, ensuring both their chances for a cure and our safety.”

Wen Rou expressed agreement and said, “Ultimately, whether it's The United States of America or Japan, those ordinary citizens, despite their seemingly powerful momentum, cannot stop the actions of a nation. Only those rich individuals, the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes, have the power to decide a country's major policies. As our Terminal Illness Hospital holds control over their life and death, they will surely ensure our safety.”

Yan Fei stated, “Your analysis is spot on. If we don't monopolize these products that can treat incurable diseases and instead mass-produce them for export, we might gain immense economic benefits in the short term, but we would lose our only means of safeguarding our lives. As we become richer from selling these products, we become easier targets. Without a way to counteract our enemies, we can't protect the safety of our assets, and the richer we are, the quicker we will die.”

Wen Rou listened with a chill, saying, “So our Terminal Illness Hospital's products must not be sold externally; those who want to treat incurable diseases will have no choice but to plead with us. This way, we become the guarantee of their survival, and by determining the list of nations for treatment, we threaten them, making those who fear death pressure their countries to maintain friendly ties with us. Although we earn far less money, our personal safety is assured.”

Yan Fei laughed, “Little Rou, I always said you had potential! With just a hint from me, you've guessed my intentions exactly. What you just described is my entire plan. However, the product that treats AIDS is only the first from the Terminal Illness Hospital; more products for treating incurable diseases will follow. As long as these products remain in our hands, the Terminal Illness Hospital will become the sole hope for their survival, and their countries will not dare to confront us brazenly, ensuring the safety of Misty Island.”

Although Yan Fei explained this to Wen Rou, he knew there was a significant flaw that he hadn't mentioned to her. That flaw was that once others realized the value of the Terminal Illness Hospital exceeded their expectations, they would ignore the sick and wealthy and instead forcefully take over the Terminal Illness Hospital for greater benefit. However, by that point, it would come down to a true clash of strength, and the stronger side would emerge victorious.

What Yan Fei strove for was merely a period of peaceful development. The longer this period lasted, the stronger his strength would become.
