Chapter 740: The Traitor

Chapter 740 The Traitor

"B*stard! He's talking nonsense!" Nalan Wushuang said angrily, "He knows nothing about traditional Chinese medicine. How dare he slander it! What a nut he is!"

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, "He's not nuts. He must have his purposes in doing so.

"The delegation of the World Medical Association had already left, and the enormous amount of exposure on the Internet has created an unprecedented opportunity for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Lou Zhiping makes his comments at this moment, indicating that he is directed against traditional Chinese medicine instead of me. It is not as simple as it looks. There must be more secrets that I don't know."

Nalan Wuxia swiped the screen and said, "Haodong, this shameless man, posts another message. He wants to challenge you in public and expose your scam in front of the Huaxia people. He's so stupid! I wonder why he has more than 10 million followers."

A sneer lifted the corner of Qin Haodong's mouth as he said, "He wants to challenge me? I wonder who gave him the confidence."

At this point, his cell phone rang. It was from Wan Taisong.

There had to be something important to discuss with him at this late hour. Wan Taisong said in a hurry, "Little Qin, did you read the news? Lou Zhiping is aiming at you."

Qin Haodong said indifferently, "President Wan, I've read his comments. But he's directed at all of traditional Chinese medicine instead of me."

Wan Taisong said, "Little Qin, no matter what, Lou Zhiping is quite difficult to deal with. He just called me and wanted to formally challenge you and the Imperial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shall we accept his challenge?

"If you don't want to see him, I'll find an excuse to turn him down."

"President Wan, we can't do that." Qin Haodong explained, "If I don't accept his challenge at this time, the positive influence brought by the World Medical Association will definitely disappear. Everyone will believe what he said and think that traditional Chinese medicine is nothing but a cruel hoax."

"You're right." The sudden news had defeated Wan Taidong, and he hadn't figured out the current situation. He calmed down and said, "Well then, we have to accept his challenge. Please be well prepared. Lou Zhiping is quite shrewd."

Qin Haodong said confidently, "Don't worry, President Wan. As long as I'm here, he won't be able to cause any trouble in the capital."

He hung up and then received a call from Shao Weimin. "What's wrong with Lou Zhiping? How dare he make trouble at this critical moment! Haodong, are you sure you can defeat him?"

"Of course I am. Minister Shao, don't worry. I will handle this matter."

After Qin Haodong hung up, he thought for a moment and then made another phone call.

As the saying goes, "Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat." He had to find out everything about Lou Zhiping, and the Deep Web was his first choice. Nothing was secret to them.

"Mr. Medical Sage, I'm very glad to receive your call. You performed very well at school today."

The phone was picked up and Qin Haodong heard Donnie Randall's sweet voice.

Qin Haodong said, "You know about it? Are you sending someone to keep an eye on me?"

"Mr. Medical Sage, your news has spread across the Internet and everyone knows about it. Do you think I need to keep an eye on you? The Deep Web is indeed very powerful, but we'll be short of hands if we try to monitor everything."

Qin Haodong smiled and said, "I was just kidding. I need your help."

Donnie Randall asked, "Do you want me to help you get the information of Lou Zhiping? He's a silly and arrogant man."

"That's right. It's him. I want to know everything about him."

Donnie Randall said, "Mr. Medical Sage, I knew you wanted to get his information, so I've already prepared everything you need. I'll email you these documents."

Qin Haodong said, "Thank you, Miss Randall. You're very smart."

"You're the truly smart one. How dare Lou Zhiping challenge you? He's crazy."

Donnie Randall really admired Qin Haodong. The Deep Web was extremely powerful, and the only one she was afraid of was this Huaxia person, who seemed to be gentle and cultivated.

Qin Haodong hung up, turned on the computer, and began to check the information sent by Donnie Randall.

The documents contained comprehensive details. Qin Haodong even knew that Lou Zhiping had peeked at a widow bathing when he was a child. Even with his strong Spirit, it took him an hour to finish reading all his information.

He closed his laptop and sneered. Sure enough, as he had expected, Lou Zhiping was not a crazy man who just wanted to make trouble for him. There was someone behind him, and that was the Angel Pharmaceutical Group in Europe.

The Angel Pharmaceutical Group was one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in the world. With industrial sites all over the five continents, it was even more influential than the Wilson Group.

Lou Zhiping had a high IQ and was smart in school. He came from a poor family and then studied at a famous university in Europe with government funds.

During his time in Europe, he was bought by the Angel Group and started to work for them. His main task was to suppress the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Huaxia, reduce its influence, and increase the share of Western medicine in Huaxia.

After all, more than a billion people were living in Huaxia and their daily consumption of medicine was enormous. They could gain astronomical profits by just increasing the share by a bit.

After Lou Zhiping graduated, he soon became famous with the help of the Angel Group. There were mainly two ways to hype himself up. One was to crack down on fake products, and the other was to expose the inside story of other industries to improve his influence among the netizens.

His final purpose was to destroy the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine and reduce its sales with his influence.

The World Medical Association's trip to Huaxia made the Angel Group nervous. Once traditional Chinese medicine prospered, their market share and profits would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, as soon as the World Medical Association left Huaxia, the Angel Group immediately asked Lou Zhiping to make comments and reduce the positive influence of the delegation's trip.

In short, Lou Zhiping was a dog raised by the Western medicine group. He seemed to speak up for the rights of the ordinary Huaxia people, but in fact, he had always been destroying their interests. He was an out-and-out traitor.

He was a celebrity on the Internet, especially when it came to debating. He had never been defeated and thus won the support of many netizens.

However, based on the information provided by Donnie Randall, Qin Haodong realized that Lou Zhiping had used many dirty tricks to win the victory.

When coming across a strong opponent, he would usually take two steps. First, he would check his personal information to see if he was involved in corruption and academic cheating and whether there was something wrong with his academic background.

If he found his weakness, he would use it as a threat.

Besides, with the help of the Angel Group, he would threaten his family and might even force him to give up with some cruel methods such as traffic accidents.

With his eloquence and the above two steps, he had never been defeated in the past years. He was always the winner in public debate.

A sneer lifted the corner of Qin Haodong's mouth. Lou Zhiping's methods didn't work for him. This guy was finished the moment he challenged Qin Haodong.

At the same time, in a villa in the capital, Lou Zhiping was having a video call with a white man in his 50s.

"Mr. Mora, I've learned that Qin is eloquent and has a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. I'm afraid I don't have any advantage in arguing with him.

"Could you please find a way to put some pressure on this guy like before? Then maybe he will give up."

Mora shook his head and said, "You can only rely on yourself for this mission, and this is the order from those in higher places. You must win the debate and are not allowed to lose. Get ready and make full use of your talents. If you can win the debate tomorrow, we'll give you 20 million dollars as a reward."

At first, Lou Zhiping was still a little depressed. But when he heard what the award was, his two small eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Mora. I will try my best."

"Dear Lou, I wish you good luck!"

Then Mora's image disappeared from the big screen.

Mora turned off the video and said to a 70-year-old white man next to him, "Boss, why don't we give him some help?

"If we can make that guy yield and work with us to slander traditional Chinese medicine in public, I believe the effect will be multiplied and we can thus make a great fortune."

The old white man shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly. This is the order from those in higher places, and we can't afford to offend Qin for the time being."

"What? There's someone we can't afford to offend?"

Mora didn't believe what he had heard. He had been working for this organization for many years, and he knew how powerful it was. It was the first time that he had met someone they dared not to offend.

The white old man interrupted him. "Let's stop here. Anyway, Lou Zhiping is nothing to us. We can make a fortune if he can make it. But it's not a big deal if he fails. He has nothing to do with us and will be left to sink or swim at that time."

The next day, the auditorium of the Medical College was crowded with students who had come here to watch the debate contest. It was time for Lou Zhiping and Qin Haodong to argue with each other.

After reading the news yesterday, everyone was very angry with Lou Zhiping. They all came to support Qin Haodong.

However, there were also some people on the Internet with ulterior motives standing out to support Lou Zhiping. They claimed that Lou was the spokesperson for science.

On the front stage of the auditorium, two tables were placed face to face, about three meters away from each other.

At 10 o'clock, Qin Haodong and Lou Zhiping walked onstage and sat face to face. A great cheer rose up from the crowd when Qin Haodong took his seat, while Lou Zhiping was greeted with boos and hisses.

However, Lou Zhiping, who had been involved in many debate contests, was not influenced by the atmosphere at all. He took his seat and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Qin, this is your home court, but it doesn't mean anything. Science can defeat everything."

Qin Haodong smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lou, since you're the one who posed the challenge, please tell me why you think traditional Chinese medicine is not scientific?"

Lou Zhiping's heart sank when he noticed that Qin Haodong was still calm and wasn't influenced by his provocation. It seemed that this man was hard to deal with.

However, he had made sufficient preparations last night, so he was not too flustered. He continued, "We're in a scientific era, and everything is based on facts.

"While the basic elements of traditional Chinese medicine such as Qi, acupoints, meridians, Yin and Yang, and the so-called upper fire and coldness are not facts because we cannot see them with our eyes.

"I have always abided by the spirit of science. I think only those things that can be seen and discovered by us are real, and everything else is a scam."
