493: So sad

Qian Ziyong didn’t have much interest in Tiangong.

Without saying much to Cairfu Lehman, Qian Ziyong hung up the phone and then worried about how to spend his money.

He had already put all his effort into throwing money at Han City.

But the money kept pouring in like a tide, more and more!

...

Outside an airport in the United States.

A middle-aged man named Zhao Bogun, dressed in a suit, was anxiously waiting for security screening.

His mother had the flu.

For this, he specifically went to Qimu Pharmacy in the United States to buy a whole box of feihuang cold medicine.

It was the special efficacy version, one thousand dollars per pill, three pills in a box, totaling three thousand dollars.

There was also an insulated box, which cost him one hundred dollars.

He waited patiently as the security personnel meticulously checked passengers' luggage.

Soon it was his turn!

However, the passenger in front of him encountered a bit of trouble.

The security officer checked a box and asked the passenger with a frown, “What is this?”

“This is feihuang cold medicine!” The Sakura Country passenger immediately opened the box, “My child has the flu, and I bought a box of special efficacy feihuang cold medicine!”

The security officer didn't let the Sakura Country passenger continue speaking and instead asked, “Where is your passport?”

The Sakura Country passenger quickly took out his passport.

The security officer looked at it: “A Sakura Country person?”

The Sakura Country passenger nodded.

The security officer said, “feihuang cold medicine is not allowed to leave the country; it’s confiscated!”

Without waiting for the Sakura Country passenger to speak, the security officer directly confiscated the box along with the medicine.

The Sakura Country passenger panicked, “This is medicine, not contraband! This is medicine, life-saving medicine!”

The security officer glared at the Sakura Country passenger, and he immediately shut up.

Zhao Bogun thought to himself, 'This is bad.'

He hadn't expected that the United States wouldn’t allow feihuang cold medicine to leave the country.

Sure enough, his guess was correct: feihuang cold medicine was from the United States!

When Zhao Bogun was in the United States, he heard people around him say that feihuang cold medicine was very effective; he himself had caught the flu, and after taking feihuang cold medicine, he recovered quickly.

At that time, he was very curious, so he searched online, and the internet said that feihuang cold medicine was produced in Hua Xia.

He didn't believe it.

How could such a powerful cold medicine be produced by a Hua Xia company?

For this, he even connected to the internet in Hua Xia and specifically searched on Qiandu.

Indeed, there was very little information about feihuang cold medicine in Hua Xia.

The flu was also rampant in Hua Xia; if feihuang cold medicine was available, how could they wait for the flu to break out?

This proved that his guess was correct.

There must have been a rumor circulating in the United States.

The cold medicine only had a crooked logo, and everything else was in the United States language.

Now that feihuang cold medicine couldn't be brought back, what should he do?

Just as Zhao Bogun was anxious, the security officer motioned for him to step forward.

It was too late to leave now.

If he turned and walked away, he would immediately be tackled.

Zhao Bogun had no choice but to place his luggage on the table for the security officer to inspect.

Sure enough, the security officer checked and saw the box.

“What is this?” the security officer asked as usual.

Zhao Bogun said in despair, “feihuang cold medicine.”

The security officer said, “Please show your passport.”

Zhao Bogun handed over his passport.

The security officer saw that the passport stated he was a Hua Xia person and asked with great curiosity, “You are a Hua Xia person?”

“Hua Xia person?” This sentence was spoken in Chinese.

Zhao Bogun nodded.

He felt something was off.

Why was this security officer looking at him as if he were an idiot?

“Pass!” the security officer said, directly letting him through.

Zhao Bogun was surprised.

What’s going on? They didn’t confiscate my feihuang cold medicine?

The security officer handed back the box containing the feihuang cold medicine and reminded him, “Oh, by the way, you are not allowed to sell feihuang cold medicine to others inside the airport; that’s illegal!”

Zhao Bogun, as if possessed, asked, “What if I sell it when I get to Hua Xia?”

The security officer said, “If you can sell it, that’s your ability.”

After speaking, the security officer couldn't be bothered with him and continued to check the next person.

Zhao Bogun rubbed his head, full of confusion.

Why was that Sakura Country person stopped, but he wasn’t?

Putting aside the doubts in his mind, he boarded the plane and soon arrived in Hua Xia.

Returning to Shen City, he immediately went home to see his mother.

If he had known the security officer wouldn't care about feihuang cold medicine, he would have brought back more.

That way, he could sell some feihuang cold medicine at a high price and make a big profit.

“Mom!” As soon as Zhao Bogun returned home, he rushed straight to his elderly mother's bedroom.

His father was tending to his mother by the bed.

“Bogun, you’re back!” The old woman lying on the bed struggled to sit up, very happy to see her son return.

“Mom, don’t get up.” Zhao Bogun quickly stopped his mother from getting up.

Just then, the room door was pushed open, and Zhao Bogun’s younger sister, Zhao Pengdan, returned.

“Mom, I bought the medicine and I’m back!” Zhao Pengdan said excitedly.

She saw her brother and immediately said happily, “Brother, you’re back?”

Zhao Bogun nodded, and hearing his sister mention medicine, he remembered his feihuang cold medicine!

Zhao Bogun immediately took out the exquisite box.

“Mom, this is a special medicine I brought back from the United States, specifically for the flu,” Zhao Bogun said.

The old woman weakly said, “How much was it? Was it expensive?”

Zhao Bogun shook his head: “Not expensive, not expensive at all.”

He didn’t dare tell his mother how much the medicine cost.

Otherwise, she would feel distressed again.

But if he didn't tell her, she might keep asking.

Zhao Bogun wondered if he should just casually report a lower number?

How about one hundred?

Seeing the medicine his brother took out, Zhao Pengdan looked at it with a surprised expression.

“Brother, your box is the same as mine!” Zhao Pengdan raised her hand.

She was holding the same type of box in her hand.

“Hmm?” Zhao Bogun looked at the box in his sister’s hand, then at the box in his own hand.

They were indeed identical!

At first glance, he even thought his sister had snatched his medicine box.

“Pengdan, did you have a friend bring medicine from the United States?” Zhao Bogun asked.

Zhao Pengdan shook her head: “No, I bought it downstairs from us.”

“It’s called Feihuang Pharmacy.”

“The medicine isn’t expensive, only ten yuan per pill, but the box is very expensive, it cost me fifty yuan!”

Zhao Bogun picked up his sister’s box and looked at it; it was truly identical.

Even the logo left on the box was exactly the same.

Opening the box, he saw a box of cold medicine inside, a box of feihuang cold medicine.

The difference was that this box of feihuang cold medicine was in Chinese.

And his box of feihuang cold medicine was in the United States language.

Zhao Bogun incredulously tore open the packaging, looked inside, and it was identical!

The same three pills on one strip, the same packaging, the same logo, even the cut-out sections were the same.

Zhao Bogun had asked the salesperson why the medicine had cut-out openings.

The salesperson told him it was for customers to buy individual pills.

“They’re exactly the same…” Zhao Pengdan said with a smile, “If I had known they were the same, Brother, you wouldn’t have had to bring them back all the way from there.”

“At least it wasn't expensive!”

Hearing his sister say it wasn't expensive, Zhao Bogun almost vomited blood.

That was three thousand dollars!

So expensive!

He was heartbroken!

And his sister's?

Thirty!

Oh right, he bought the box for one hundred dollars, while his sister bought hers for fifty yuan!
