Chapter 3650
After a twelve-hour flight, Smith was finally back in Washington.
Coincidentally, the plane that he took did not touch down at Washington Airport. Instead, it was guided by the air traffic controllers to an army airport in the suburbs of Washington.
The reason why they guided the plane to land at the army airport was because he was carrying those twenty boxes of Apothecary Restoration Pill. For the United States, that medication was not as simple as a n invaluable treasure, so much so that it might very much possibly be a great weapon of international competition in peacetime.
After the plane had landed, it was immediately guided by a guiding vehicle to an army hangar that was specially used to store bombers.
At that time, the hangar was entirely vacant. There were nearly a hundred people there, and they had waited for a long time.
There were people in charge from the military, the senior management of the Ministry of Health, the elites from various major laboratories, as well as the laboratory teams from several top pharmaceutical companies.
Other than that, some men in suits who appeared to
look extremely serious were present. Based on Smith's experience, those people were most probably agents from the CIA.
Smith had not foreseen that he would be greeted by such a grand group of people upon his return to his country.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
The moment the cabin door was opened, many soldiers immediately rushed into the plane before he could regain his wits. The moment those soldiers boarded the plane, they immediately gave an order.
"All of you have to bring along your belongings and get off the plane immediately. We'll do a thorough inspection on this plane right away. If you hide any sensitive items with you in the plane, we'll deal with you seriously!"
Smith said awkwardly, "Could it be that you guys were worried that we may have secretly brought some illegal items back to the country?"
The soldier said with a cold expression, "Mr. Smith, you have to make sure that every box and every pill of the Apothecary Restoration Pill is with you safe and sound."
Smith soon understood those soldiers' purpose.
They were afraid that he would secretly hide the Apothecary Restoration Pill, keep it in the plane, or give it to the aircraft staff. Then, he might give it to other countries in the future.
They could not be blamed for being overly sensitive.
After all, they felt that the value of the Apothecary Restoration Pill was so high that it could not be estimated, so they had to be extremely careful about it.
Smith could only push aside his clothes and show them the twenty boxes of Apothecary Restoration Pills that he had tied around his waist. He then said, " Please rest assured. All of the drugs are with me."
The soldier nodded, but he still said without any expression, "You bet."
Soon, James walked out of the plane with the soldiers.
At that time, Roger, the minister of the Ministry of Health, strode forward. He said excitedly, "Smith, you're finally back!"
Smith said awkwardly, "Why did you guys put up such a grand fanfare?"
Roger smiled and said, "Ever since I heard from you that the Apothecary Pharmaceutical has not found a way to mass-produce the Apothecary Restoration Pill, the White House has begun to treat this affair with great emphasis!"
As he was speaking, Roger said, "Try and think about it. If they can't resolve this limit, this medicine of theirs can't truly produce the power of check and balance internationally. If we can resolve this limit, this medicine will produce a gigantic effect in our hands, then
Smith nodded and said, "I've brought the medicine back. If you guys want to research it, go ahead.
However, I want ten boxes to treat
my son's illness!" "Ten boxes?" Roger knitted his brows. He blurted out," Smith, you need to know that the Ministry of Health is the on paying for this. Ten boxes cost fifty million dollars! If you take them away, how should I report it to my superior?!"
