119: Chapter 119 A Shocking Turn of Events at the Press Conference: The Fugitive Researcher's Fatal Accusation

Chen Fan hung up the communication, and Li Qiuming from the Health Bureau called.

"Baqo Country, V-Country, and N-Country have contacted us through diplomatic channels, hoping for vaccine support. They have long been squeezed by Western pharmaceutical giants and cannot afford the sky-high prices of Nova Bio's vaccines."

"Should we help them?" Chen Fan asked.

"Not only should we help, but we must do it beautifully," Li Qiuming said. "By using our technology to help them build a pandemic prevention system, we can not only expand our international influence but also increase foreign exchange income, and you can generate revenue too."

"No problem," Chen Fan agreed immediately.

Su Qingyue's eyes widened. "We... our current production capacity is completely insufficient!"

"Release all the technology, set the pricing to be affordable, and we'll just collect patent fees," Chen Fan planned in his heart.

He walked to the window, looking at the city in the night. "Qingyue, do you remember why I named the company 'Star of Fortune'?"

"You said... a mortal body can rival the stars."

"Right," Chen Fan nodded. "No matter how powerful a person is, they are just a lone star. But if we can light up countless stars, we can illuminate the entire night sky. Alpha Capital wants to use darkness to monopolize the world, so we will use light to burn right through them."

The next morning, the health minister delegations from the three countries arrived in Magic City, and a press conference was held simultaneously.

When they saw the "gift" Chen Fan had prepared, everyone was stunned—it wasn't just the vaccine technology, but also a complete list of production equipment, personnel training programs, and even a plan to help establish their national pandemic prevention systems.

"This... this is too generous!" The Health Minister of Baqo Country shook Chen Fan's hand, his voice somewhat choked. "Mr. Chen, do you know what this means? It means our country can save at least millions of lives!"

"I only hope you start production as soon as possible," Chen Fan said. "Also, I have one request."

"Please, go ahead!"

"After your countries start production, if there is surplus capacity, please prioritize aiding other poor nations. We will only collect patent fees; we just hope you can pass this goodwill along."

The three ministers looked at each other and nodded heavily.

The press conference that day became the focus of the global media.

Chen Fan stood on the stage, the large screen behind him displaying the open-source agreement for the vaccine technology and the technical transfer list for the production lines.

"Today, Fanxing Technology officially launches the 'Starlight Project'." Chen Fan faced the camera, his voice clear and firm. "We will provide the complete technology for the omega virus vaccine to all countries in need, along with necessary equipment support."

The reporters below were in an uproar.

"Mr. Chen, this means your company is giving up a multi-trillion dollar market. May I ask what your considerations were?" a Western reporter asked sharply.

"Life cannot be measured by money," Chen Fan replied calmly. "When a virus spreads globally, any country can remain unaffected. Helping others is helping ourselves."

"But Nova Bio accuses you of stealing their technology..."

Chen Fan smiled. He brought up a document and projected it onto the large screen. "This is the complete R&D timeline of Fanxing Technology's vaccine—from obtaining the virus sample to completing animal experiments. Here are the experimental records, data analysis, and design modifications for every step. Nova Bio has no connection to this whatsoever..."

The venue fell silent.

Just then, an unexpected interlude occurred.

The side door of the press conference was suddenly pushed open, and a foreigner in a white coat with a panicked expression rushed in. Security tried to stop him, but he shouted in English, "I have evidence! Nova Bio is experimenting on living humans!"

All cameras instantly turned toward him.

He was a white male in his thirties, with blond hair, blue eyes, and unhealed scars on his face. He rushed to the front of the stage and pulled an encrypted USB drive from his coat. "I am a researcher from Nova Bio's California lab. My name is David Cohen. I risked my life to escape just to expose this!"

Chen Fan signaled the security to stand down, took the USB drive, and plugged it into the computer.

Hair-raising images appeared on the large screen—

In the laboratory, dozens of people were tied to operating tables, their bodies covered in tubes. Their skin had begun to rot, but they seemed conscious, their eyes filled with pain and fear. The experimental personnel indifferently recorded data, injected different doses of the virus, and observed their reactions.

The scene switched: homeless people on the streets were "recruited" into "drug trial projects"; prison inmates were promised sentence reductions to become "volunteers"; there were even poor people from developing countries who were lured into the lab with a daily pay of ten dollars... The most terrifying video was of a severely mutated infected person locked in a special cage. Experimental personnel used various stimuli to test his reactions—electric shocks, sound waves, chemical odors... Finally, the infected person said a complete sentence in a raspy voice:

"Kill... me..."

In the venue, some people began to retch.

David Cohen's voice was trembling. "They are testing 'controlled mutations' of the virus, trying to create biological weapons that can follow simple instructions. Those homeless people, prisoners, and the poor... in their eyes, they are just consumables. The outbreak of the omega virus was not an accident; it was their 'field test'!"

Flashbulbs flashed crazily.

The global live broadcast transmitted this scene to all corners of the world.

Five minutes later, #NovaBioHumanExperiments topped the global trending list.

Ten minutes later, Alpha Capital's stock price began to plummet.

Fifteen minutes later, the United Nations Human Rights Council announced the launch of an emergency investigation.

Chen Fan stood on the stage, looking at the chaotic venue, at David Cohen's trembling back, and at the desperate faces on the large screen.

He knew that the war had entered a new phase.

From commercial competition, it had escalated to a showdown between humanity and crimes against humanity.

And this time, he held more than just technology and wealth.

He also held... the truth.

He walked to David's side and patted the brave researcher's shoulder. "Thank you. Leave the rest to me."

Then, he turned to the camera and said to the whole world:

"I, Chen Fan, in the name of the founder of Fanxing Technology, declare—starting today, we will fully investigate the truth of the omega virus. No matter who the mastermind is, no matter how powerful their influence, we will drag them out and bring them to trial."

He paused, saying each word clearly:

"Because there are some bottom lines that must not be trampled upon."

"There are some evils that must be repaid."
