118: Chapter 118 Thanks to the Third-Party Biotechnology Company

"Mommy, I dreamed about monsters last night. They were screaming so scarily."

In a high-end residential complex in Coastal Sea, Central Continent, an adorable-looking five-year-old girl woke from her sleep, recounting the events of last night's dream.

"Oh dear,"

The woman helped her daughter sit up, gently booping her nose, "Well, did our little treasure turn into a magical fairy and chase them away?"

"...No, they disappeared after a while," the little girl shook her head, pouting:

"Mommy, are we leaving today?"

"Yes, Daddy is waiting for us," Ye Shanshan said, putting on her daughter's shoes and taking her to wash up.

The little girl asked, "Mommy, can't we stay home for one more day?"

Ye Shanshan almost burst into tears upon hearing her daughter's request. Since being diagnosed with cancer, she had never slept as soundly as she did last night. It was also because her daughter wanted to come home and see that they had returned here from Shengjing.

"No, sweetie. Let's wait until your illness is cured, then we'll come home together."

The girl nodded: "Okay."

After going downstairs, a middle-aged man had already packed the luggage. Seeing the mother and daughter come down, he picked up the bags and headed outside.

On the way to the airport, the ride-share driver glanced in the rearview mirror at the worried expressions on the faces of the family of three in the back seat. Seeing the little girl wearing a hat in the middle, he guessed something and sighed inwardly. To ease the heavy atmosphere, he turned on the radio.

He tuned into his usual news channel.

[Good news! Central Continent's local enterprise, Third-Party Biotechnology, has announced the development of thirteen targeted cancer drugs, including poorly differentiated Liver Cancer, leukemia... lymphoma. They are currently in Phase III clinical trials. Third-Party Technology claims the cure rate for Phase I and II patients is as high as 99%. They will soon submit applications for certification to major continental regions...]

Cancer has been conquered?

The driver was stunned: "Did you hear that?"

The couple in the back had, of course, heard. Ye Shanshan asked, her voice trembling, "Honey, in there... in there, is Xiao Ke's illness mentioned?"

The radio had a replay function. Seeing how agitated the two were, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road and played it again. Ye Shanshan listened intently, her heart pounding fiercely with every word the male host uttered.

"Neuroblastoma." When she heard this familiar term, Ye Shanshan nearly fainted. Her daughter's illness could be cured!

The driver asked with a smile, "Still going to the airport?"

No, they weren't. Ye Shanshan shook her head, searching for information online. To her surprise, the company releasing this news wasn't located in Central Continent, but in Switzerland.

As soon as Third-Party Technology's announcement was made, it immediately exploded across the entire medical field. The news was so astonishing that it broke through industry circles in the blink of an eye and spread throughout the entire world.

Cancer was going to be conquered!

Countless patients and onlookers, like bees drawn to scent, instantly swarmed to Third-Party Technology's official website and social media accounts. The comment sections and private message inboxes were filled at a visible speed.

Skepticism arrived faster and sharper than anticipated.

The first to challenge was an authority in the medical field, the director of a top-tier cancer research center, who wrote on a public platform:

"As a scientific researcher who has been fighting cancer for thirty years, I long to see a genuine breakthrough more than anyone. But precisely because of that, I also understand the difficulty of achieving a breakthrough in cancer treatment technology."

"In my estimation, a breakthrough in this area would require over ten more years of in-depth research, let alone for thirteen different types? No institution in the world is capable of such a feat. Moreover, this company has not published detailed data in any peer-reviewed journals."

"I'll keep it brief. Everyone, please keep your eyes open and beware of scams."

And so on and so forth.

Yet, in the face of numerous doubts, this company offered no response, making people wonder if it was indeed a scam.

On the Zhihu platform, someone posed a question: "Is this real or fake? Can anyone with a big brain answer?"

After a while, a guy popped up.

Dreaming of Jiangnan: "I originally scrolled past, but then I thought about it and scrolled back. Who told me I've got the big brain? Bro, are you listening to these 'brick experts' or listening to me? Go check the related cancer treatment stocks. They've hit the limit down both domestically and internationally. The 'brick experts' are collecting money, what are you collecting?"

"..."

At this time, another internationally renowned figure, Davina Terra, spoke out on the Facebook platform. She was a globally famous singer.

Davina Terra: I was a Phase II clinical trial volunteer. When I was diagnosed with glioblastoma, my world seemed to collapse, until I participated in Third-Party Biotechnology's trial.

The results were incredible. I can no longer detect cancer cells now. This is not a scam; it's a miracle I personally experienced. I hope more people can have this hope.

Thank you, Third-Party Biotechnology Company.

Below, she included a selfie. On a cruise ship, Davina was embracing the sea, her face healthy and rosy. No one could imagine that just a month ago, she was a cancer patient tormented by illness.

Once the news broke, everyone who knew her situation was astonished. The news of this world-famous singer's cancer diagnosis had previously made many headlines.

Xiao Hamaide, the head of the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products (Swissmedic) in Switzerland, also spoke on a public platform, stating that Third-Party Technology's news was true. His agency was strictly monitoring the entire clinical trial process, and he called this the greatest company.

Major media outlets around the world couldn't hold back any longer, diving in to exercise their omnipresent information channels.

[Scam of the Year? Multiple Cancers Conquered, One Company's Claim of Conquering Cancer Sends Global Shockwaves!] — American Associated Press.

[Nobel Committee Member Sten Linnarsson States: The Company is Expected to Win This Year's Nobel Prize in Medicine!] — New York Daily.

[Powerful Alliance! Sackler Pharmaceuticals Says It Has Sent an Expert Team for Exchange and Cooperation. Could the Drug Launch Date Be Advanced?] — Central Continent News Agency.

[New Generation Company Third-Party Technology Rises Strongly, Giants Like Rui Hui and Qiang Sheng Can't Sit Still.] — Qiqu News.

The involvement of these media outlets sparked a new wave of global discussion. Debates on this topic flooded various forums and social media platforms:

"Lost Teddy: Woke up feeling like the sky has changed. I thought I was living in a dream for the past few decades. My mom was diagnosed with leukemia last year. The whole family scraped together money for six months of chemotherapy. She lost all her hair and became emaciated, but we still couldn't keep her. If this medicine had come out half a year earlier..."

"Anonymous Bio Enthusiast: It's already in Phase III, so the drug is solid. These dozen or so are the most common, highest mortality cancers. If they can solve these, I don't think other cancers can stump this company."

"Double Sixes: I know this company sells weight-loss pills and makes short dramas. How did it suddenly become so high-end?"

"Cannon to Kill a Mosquito: Hey, am I the only one who noticed this company bought a super huge island overseas? This is the craziest, most ambitious company I've ever seen. I think *"

Ye Shanshan browsed through the online information, feeling more and more convinced it was reliable. She immediately decided to take her daughter to Switzerland for treatment.

"I'll find out how to contact this company, to get Xiao Ke into their trial," the middle-aged man beside her said.

"Huh... Honey, no need!"

Ye Shanshan had come across a profile article. It had been prominently featured on the homepage of a media outlet called Ganggang Entertainment News. Inside was a distant photo of the founder of Third-Party Technology.

Skilled at recognizing people, Ye Shanshan exclaimed joyfully:

"They've been to my club. I have his father's contact information."
