"I see. Dr. Chen's medical skills are indeed excellent. You really live up to your reputation." The elder looked at Fade with brightly- lit eyes, then he bowed to him and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry for pretending to be ill!"
Fade waved his hand and said: "No worries," Then he asked his apprentice to bring over the agreement and voice record from the meeting.
The elder read through the agreement and then listened to the recording. His face turned cold.
At this moment, the old man was filled with suppressed rage, "He abused his power and deceived the Ministry. For the sake of personal gain, he completely neglected the lives of so many people in the country. How dare he do this!"
The apprentice said, "That's right. Those guys are really blinded by greed for money. They deserve to die."
The elder stood upright and turned to Fade. Then he put his hands together and bowed to Fade, saying, "Dr. Chen, I have gravely misunderstood you. It's my fault. I'm very sorry!"
At the elder's sincere apology, Fade couldn't bear to blame him any further. He reached out to the old man and said, "It's alright, sir. I know that you were just trying to uphold justice for the people."
The elder nodded in acknowledgement, "Dr. Chen, can you give me a copy of the agreement and the recording?"
"Give you a copy? This-" Fade looked at the elder.
Without saying anything, the elder took out a specially-made nameplate and handed it to Fade, saying, "My name is Flynt Choi."
Fade accepted the elder's nameplate and took a good look at it. It was exquisitely made from precious fragrant wood and emitted a faint fragrance. The nameplate was bright yellow in color, with the carved image of a complicated retro building on the front, and the Chinese word, "Choi", engraved on the back.
The apprentice looked at the nameplate in confusion.
At this moment, Fade turned to the elder and said in surprise, "The symbol of the Capital City Imperial Hospital!" It turned out that Master Choi was a royal practitioner in the Capital City. "I am sorry for not recognizing you earlier," Fade apologized.
Upon hearing those words, the apprentice was taken aback and looked at the elder, stunned. He was so shocked that he found himself at a loss of words for a moment.
After all, the Imperial Hospital was an exclusive hospital set up by the government in the Capital City. It mainly served top- ranked governors and important people who made remarkable contributions to the country. It had the best medical equipment in the world, not to mention the most skillful and outstanding doctors.
If Flynt Choi was a member of the Imperial Hospital, and also a Chinese medicine practitioner, this could only mean one thing. He was surely one of the top doctors in Chinese medicine.
Such a prominent person had suddenly turned up there, and they were even engaged in such a furious argument just a moment ago, thought the apprentice.
The shock that surged through him was beyond words. The apprentice looked at Master Choi, intimidated.
As though he suddenly realized something, Fade suddenly returned the nameplate to Master Choi and asked, "Master Choi, did you come here today with a mission?"
Master Choi nodded, with no attempt to conceal things. He explained, "Well, let me speak frankly. I am a special agent sent by Department Head
Wang from the Ministry of Health. I'm here for the inspection of the Ephedra Syrup."
Philip, who was sitting with crossed legs, merely gave a faint smile. He shook his head and said, "No, we'll just wait like this. It won't take long for Chen to hand over the patent right of Ephedra Syrup to us."
"Really? What if they are too stubborn, then well-" One member said in a worried tone.
Philip shook his head and said, "Don't worry, they won't dare to refuse. Bear in mind that we represent the Ministry of Health, and that it's a matter of life and death for countless people out there."
"Naturally, when it comes to such big issue, they are already under the pressure of the local community. Moreover, Rudolph Zheng, who tried to report directly to the department head, has already been dealt with and reprimanded sternly by his immediate superior. I bet they are already desperate to hand over the patent right now."
The others seemed to be enlightened by his words. They nodded and said with a smile, "No wonder you are so confident at this, captain. I have worried too much."
Philip smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're still too young, and easily distressed. But you will improve soon after gaining more experience."
"Yes sir! Please guide me more in the future." The member flattered him.
Just as Philip was about to nod with a smile, his cell phone rang. When he saw that it was from Department Head Wang, his expression suddenly turned serious. He immediately picked up the phone and said in the most respectful manner, "Department Head Wang, I'm here for your instruction..."
Before he could finish his sentence, an angry voice was heard from the other end of the phone, "Philip, what have you done over there?"
Philip's heart skipped a beat. He said in a hurry, "Department Head Wang, I didn't do anything wrong. What happened? How did you-"
