Luke looked up information about Sun Pharma online; it's an Indian pharmaceutical company that started with generic drugs and has grown significantly, becoming a leading pharmaceutical enterprise in India.

Black questioned, "Did you sell Kerman Pharmaceutical Company's research results to pharma companies in other countries?"

Kem Smith said, "I have my reasons for doing this."

"I know, it's that beautiful Indian woman, maybe she promised you a big sum of money. Such cliché tricks were played out ages ago."

Kem Smith shook his head and explained, "I admit I like Ivella Gandhi, she's a kind girl and we clicked, but giving the new blood pressure drug's research data to Sun Pharma wasn't because of her or the money, it was to benefit more people."

Black sneered, "What a grandiose reason.

Doesn't Kerman Pharmaceutical Company want to bring new blood pressure drugs to market?

They too can save many patients."

Kem Smith replied, "It's completely different.

I admit Kerman Pharmaceutical Company is excellent, they developed the best new blood pressure medication, which has a certain chance of curing hypertension, and that's why I chose this company.

But also because the drug is so effective, it will be very expensive, and not everyone can afford it.

Sun Pharma, however, can develop generic versions, making it much cheaper, giving those who aren't wealthy access to drugs and treatment.

I believe everyone is equal in the face of life, and the poor have the right to treatment as well."

"Wait," Black interrupted him, "are you saying the new blood pressure drug has a certain chance of completely curing hypertension."

"Yes."

Black shook his head, "But as far as I know, hypertension is essentially incurable."

Kem Smith laughed, "With the development of technology and medical progress, how many diseases deemed incurable have already been cured.

Nothing is absolute.

Plus, your medical knowledge comes from encyclopedias or so-called experts, and some experts are groomed by pharmaceutical companies themselves, serving only those companies.

The biggest obstacle in developing drugs for incurable diseases isn't technology or medicine, but profit.

For pharmaceutical companies, a disease that can't be completely cured and needs long-term medication is the best type.

But Kerman Pharmaceutical Company's new blood pressure drug is destined to break this situation; in this regard, I still admire Kerman Pharmaceutical Company.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Kerman Pharmaceutical Company's market share in the existing blood pressure drug sector is almost zero, so they aggressively developed the new blood pressure medication.

What I want to do is make this drug cheaper, so more people can afford medication and get healed.

Do you think I'm wrong?"

Black hesitated for a moment, "I'm not sure if what you're doing is right or wrong, but it's obviously illegal."

"I knew you'd say that." Kem Smith was nonchalant, "I believe my actions are right.

Once Sun Pharma creates a low-cost generic new blood pressure drug, people will understand and appreciate everything I've done today.

I don't regret it."

One must admit, idealists can be admirable, but also frightening.

Luke remembered the whistleblower letter; from Kem Smith's standpoint, he shouldn't be lying, "I received a whistleblower letter that says Kerman Pharmaceutical Company is conducting illegal human experiments, is that true?"

Kem Smith replied firmly, "No, how could that be.

I participated in the entire process of the new blood pressure drug's development; everything complies with the law.

Kerman Pharmaceutical Company wouldn't make a mistake on such an issue.

This is absolute slander."

Luke stared at him and didn't see any signs of lying on his face, and he felt that his words had some credibility.

"What role does Ivella Gandhi play in this affair?"

"A guide.

She's a very kind girl, although young, she has her own values and beliefs, she's helpful and has an open personality.

She made me realize that life's meaning is not just money and fame, she taught me what great love is..."

Luke waved his hand to cut him off, "How did you get in touch with Sun Pharma?"

"Ivella Gandhi introduced us."

"How did you pass the stolen data from Kerman Pharmaceutical Company to Sun Pharma?"

"I gave it to Ivella Gandhi, and then she passed it to Sun Pharma."

"Did Sun Pharma give you money?"

"Yes."

"How much did they give you?"

"Fifty thousand US dollars at a time, a total of one million US dollars."

"Do you think Ivella Gandhi's kidnapping is because of the theft of the new blood pressure drug's research?"

"Yes.

I said, she's a very kind girl, other than this, I can't think of why someone would do this to her."

"Do you have a suspect in mind for her kidnapping?"

"As the new blood pressure drug nears successful development, many things have happened recently...

The interests are too great, involving many people, some want to stop the new drug from succeeding, others want to steal the achievement.

I've always been cautious, I always thought no one knew about my theft of research data...
