Chapter 377: Chapter 267: Counterattack (First Update)_2
“It’s just that at the Jieke Group’s location, there are many Poison Insects and the floors are slippery, which makes it easy to fall. In case of any accident, the local hospitals lack medicines, which might lead to life-threatening situations if treatment is unavailable,”
Arrogant, this is what you call supreme arrogance.
This is definitely a threat from Su Jie!
Now, who would dare to come to investigate the Jieke Group, entering their territory where they can easily control you? It’s likely that you’ll enter standing and leave lying down.
“Next question.”
Su Jie ignored the frustrated Japanese female reporter and turned to the next journalist from Russia.
...
“Please ask when the war between Jieke Group and the Chan Country Government will truly end.”
The journalist asked a question that was outside the agenda of the press conference, but Su Jie didn’t refuse to answer.
“Regarding that question, the decision is not ours to make. The war will stop the moment the Chan Country Government ceases its persecution of the people. Otherwise, my Jieke Group will definitely liberate all the people oppressed by the Chan Country Government.”
Su Jie’s tone was forceful and resolutely determined.
The journalists below hurriedly took notes. As a major contemporary conflict, with behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Beautiful Country and direct involvement by Japan, this war has attracted extreme attention, followed by several related questions.
After answering some questions, Su Jie successfully concluded today’s press conference.
……
The next day, news about Jieke Group’s response immediately topped the trending searches.
Leading the opposition was not the Beautiful Country or the Top Ten Pharmaceutical Companies, but damn India.
“Jieke Group’s actions disregard international pharmaceutical patent laws and destroy the good order of the pharmaceutical industry, bringing endless misfortune to the global medical industry. Jieke Group must immediately stop the development of generic drugs, or our country will impose sanctions on Jieke Group.”
This news, once released, immediately sparked a flood of amusement and discussion online.
“I don’t object to Jieke Group making generic drugs; after all, it’s those pharmaceutical companies that break the rules first. But why does India have the right to criticize? They are the biggest producer of generic drugs in the world.”
“Heh heh, isn’t that easy to understand? Your exclusive business now has a competitor who is snatching business from you and affecting your earnings; wouldn’t you be anxious too?”
“India: Damn it, just sitting at home, trouble comes from the sky. Who’d have thought there’d be another shameless fellow in the world apart from me—none other than Jieke Group, a young phoenix rising.”
The internet was amused by India’s statement, much like a vicious murderer criticizing another for robbery, saying robbery is bad and illegal and one should strive to be a good person. It sounded absurdly theatrical.
Jieke Group didn’t respond to the outburst from India, focusing instead on developing their generic drugs.
A week later, the first batch of generic drugs hit the ground, entering the stage of mass production.
These generic drugs not only supplied more than ten million people under the control of Jieke Group but also successfully exported overseas through Jieke Group’s smuggling channels, breaking into the pharmaceutical markets of Europe and America.
Faced with prices that were ten, several tens, or even hundreds of times cheaper than patented medicines, the price war reached a level of ruthless insanity. Nearly all patients, faced with such pricing, overwhelmingly chose with their feet.
This time, it was the turn of the Top Ten Pharmaceutical Companies to be dumbfounded. They had not expected Jieke Group to be so aggressive, daring to employ such a wildcard as generic drugs. Aren’t they afraid of international sanctions?
Well, okay, Jieke Group really isn’t afraid because they are already under sanctions.
One could say the counterattack from Jieke Group left the Top Ten Pharmaceutical Companies somewhat in disarray.
Though these companies allowed India to create generic drugs, it was influenced by many factors.
The most important factor was that Western pharmaceutical companies used Indian citizens as ‘human guinea pigs.’ Most of their patented drugs in the final stages of development were tested in India to verify the effectiveness of these medicines.
Thus, Western pharmaceutical companies couldn’t formulate their patented medicines without India, and that’s why, despite India significantly harming their interests, both sides had remained peaceful up to now.
But Jieke Group was different. To Western pharmaceutical companies, they were even more shameless than India.
Not only did they drastically reduce the prices of generic drugs, but they also recklessly allowed these drugs to infiltrate the market through smuggling, unlike India, which had a tacit agreement with the major pharmaceutical companies to control the quantity of generic drugs entering the market.
Facing the unscrupulous actions of Jieke Group, the top ten pharmaceutical companies could only look for government lobbying while intensifying the inspection and arrest of counterfeit drugs entering the country.
At the same time, they increased the sentencing for those selling counterfeit drugs; getting caught meant starting at ten years, which deterred many smugglers of loose counterfeit drugs.
With the massive influence and various actions of these giant pharmaceutical enterprises, the situation was barely stabilized.
Even though they still suffered huge economic losses caused by Jieke Group’s counterfeit drugs, as long as there were sufficient profits, there were always those unafraid to take risks; however, fortunately, the situation was still barely under control.
Meanwhile, the top ten pharmaceutical companies realized that these measures were only treating the symptoms, not the root cause; only by uprooting Jieke Group, the source of the counterfeit drugs, could they truly solve the problem once and for all.
After several discussions among themselves, the top ten pharmaceutical companies issued a related aid agreement.
They provided free medical supplies to Chan Country soldiers and Japanese soldiers on the battlefield in Chan Country and also sponsored the Chan Country Government with a huge aid of 5 billion US dollars, which was equivalent to one-tenth of Chan Country’s annual GDP, hoping that the Chan Country Government could act more vigorously to eliminate Jieke Group early.
Just as these pharmaceutical companies attempted to suppress Jieke Group, another counter-attack from Jieke Group arrived.
…
Mande City Prison.
A disheveled man, resembling a walking corpse, was escorted out by Jieke Security.
This man was Rafael, son of the former head of the Averson Family, Jose Averson, who had come to Mande City hoping to uncover the secret of Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid.
Him, along with his elite mercenary squad, were either killed or captured by Jieke Group, and Rafael had been imprisoned ever since.
Seeing the sun after many days, Rafael squinted until his eyes slightly adjusted, only to discover a man and a woman standing in front of him.
“Remember me, Rafael?”
Su Jie sat in a chair with a smile at the corner of his mouth, legs crossed, and playfully asked the other.
“Su Jie, you damn…”
Upon clearly seeing Su Jie’s face, Rafael’s eyes turned red; never had he, a member of the Averson Family, suffered such imprisonment.
Having been jailed without seeing the daylight for nearly two years, he now saw Su Jie, the main culprit, and wished he could tear him to pieces.
Su Jie shook his head, smiling, and said, “It seems you do remember me. I’m very sorry for your prolonged prison life. Today, you can be free.”
“Letting me go, haha, did my father put pressure on you? You finally understand how terrifying the Averson Family is. Now you want to let me go as if nothing happened; you’re dreaming.”
Rafael displayed excitement in his eyes; he still didn’t know that his father Jose had already passed away and thought that Su Jie was releasing him.
“It seems you’ve been locked up too long; your mind is not so clear, not even distinguishing good from bad words.”
Su Jie stood up from his chair and said to Han Ru Yan, “My dear, I’ll leave this to you.”
“Wait, what are you doing…”
At this moment, Rafael finally realized the situation, his pupils shrinking dramatically. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, Han Ru Yan had already stretched out her delicate finger and lightly tapped.
The next moment, Rafael’s entire body was enveloped in a glow of blood, his flesh and bones compressed directly into a drop of crystal-clear fresh blood, which landed on Han Ru Yan’s fingertip.

Han Ru Yan slightly closed her eyes, as if sensing something, and slowly spoke, “Bloodline as the lead, search.”
Ten minutes later, Han Ru Yan reopened her eyes and nodded at Su Jie.
“Relatives related by blood to this person total 226, including both males and females, young and old; their locations have been identified.”
“Hehe, my dear, you haven’t been to the Beautiful Country for tourism, have you? Are you interested in going for a visit?”
Su Jie’s smile grew more radiant; typically, when he showed such a smile, it often meant that someone was about to have bad luck.
As their retaliation in corporate warfare bore fruit, Su Jie was also preparing for armed action, to once and for all solve the problem of the Averson Family, who had repeatedly provoked Jieke Group.
