Time has already reached October.

The movies now showing are primarily horror films.

Word is, the latest and hottest movie.

That would be "Saw 2".

This movie has received much praise, and many critics have lauded Charlize Theron's performance.

Especially since this movie was a low-budget film.

Charlize Theron, being an Oscar-winning actress, should take part in bigger productions.

In this case, it seems she's lowered her standards.

Yet, as it turns out, the film's reputation is excellent, and the box office performance is outstanding.

It might just have a positive impact on the South African Beauty Diamond venture.

However, these matters are of little concern to California Senator Zhao Ying.

It just so happens she is in California and has come to the southern part of Los Angeles.

Here, it's impossible not to encounter movie-related news.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying hasn't forgotten her true purpose.

She drove to the small town of Corona.

The scenery in Corona is indeed beautiful.

There are mountains, rivers, and meadows.

Surrounded by several resorts and golf courses.

Of course, there are more hospitals and wellness centers around.

In fact, even hospitals primarily focus on wellness.

After all, they are just utilizing the environment here, and if faced with a really troublesome illness.

It's best to go to the UCLA Medical Center.

Zhao Ying, of course, doesn't care about these; she knew the situation in this city long ago.

This time she came to find the diabetes research center of Zhou Mo Sen.

That place...???

When Zhao Ying arrived at the research center according to the address, she was perplexed.

Indeed, there was a research center sign, and judging by the decorations, this place was indeed somewhat grandiose.

But, it seemed too small.

Alright, to be exact, it can't be called too small.

From what she could see, the research center was merely the size of a large mansion.

The Zhao family also has money, and the mansion they live in isn't small.

This research center was just about ten square meters larger than her house.

Of course, there were lawns and gardens outside.

Although nobody stipulated how large a research center must be.

But, compared to nearby hospitals, this place seemed small.

Zhao Ying shook her head; she thought she shouldn't be limited by appearances.

She planned to thoroughly explore this research center.

But how to explore?

Would she go in herself?

Of course not. As a senator, places like hospitals certainly required identity information.

Thankfully, she had made up her mind early on.

She sent one of her subordinates, a woman also with diabetes.

To investigate!

After all, treatment wouldn't commence immediately, right?

It should be safe.

So, the subordinate went in.

And Zhao Ying?

She initially waited in the car, but California could be quite hot.

Even with the air conditioning on in the car, it was somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, since she herself had diabetes, it was better to utilize this time by going for a walk.

When Zhao Ying went out for a walk, she was naturally accompanied by people.

They were from the Descent Sect.

But after walking for a while, they noticed something peculiar.

Not far from the research center, there seemed to be some small vendors?

In the United States, small vendors are naturally present.

However, there are many types of small vendors.

Like in New York, those who manage to set up small booths on some avenues.

Don't underestimate them; these are high-end vendors who pay the city government quite a bit each year.

Ordinary people really can't operate like they do.

And some are quite distinctive.

For example, a black guy lays a large cloth on the ground with many things placed on it.

Mainly clothes or bags.

Sometimes you can even see big brand bags.

Or mobile phones.

Ugh, these vendors are the sort that operate at the lowest, most unscrupulous level.

Their merchandise is basically acquired for free.

What Zhao Ying saw now seemed to be those acquired-for-free goods.

This is strange!

Although the small town of Corona does have shopping centers, and even outlets.

But the security in this small town is pretty good, and there are a lot of wellness centers around.

So, what could those small vendors sell?

Curious, Zhao Ying went over.

And she discovered...

"This is..."

"Insulin."

"Huh?"

"What are you surprised about? Tell me what type you want and how much premix you need."

Upon hearing this and seeing the insulin, Zhao Ying was dumbfounded.

The vendor was quite professional.

But...

"You're just selling it like this? Isn't it ruined?"

Insulin needs to be stored at low temperatures.

Of course, it doesn't have to be that strict; a regular refrigerator is sufficient.

Moreover, if using insulin pens, the cartridge inside can be carried by the patient without much issue at room temperature.

At least it can last for ten days or so at room temperature.

But now, they're selling it like this?

This storage method is definitely wrong!

While Zhao Ying thought she had grasped the critical point, she was left speechless because the vendor rolled his eyes at her.

"What you see here are the packages. You don't think I would leave insulin out here, do you? If you want it, I'll get it for you! So, tell me exactly how much premix you need."

So professional!

The guy in front of her was indeed a black man.

Typically, in the United States, if they're not selling free-gained bags or phones, they're involved in drug dealing.

Now what are they doing?

Selling insulin!

This...

Zhao Ying found it hard to accept the reality in front of her, but she couldn't hold back.

"How much for 30 premix? By the way, do you only have the Novo Nordisk brand?"

She was aiming for 30 premix after all.

Anyway, speaking like this, the other party would surely understand.

The result was the black guy showed three fingers.

"Thirty US Dollars."

30 premix for just 30 US Dollars?

That's much cheaper than getting Novo Nordisk through regular channels in the United States!

"Where is this insulin of yours actually from..."

"Who are you, anyway? Are you here to..."

The black guy realized the situation wasn't right, packed up quickly, and ran!

Zhao Ying panicked, "I'll buy! I'll buy!"

The guy then paused.

"Really? Oh, if you buy more, each pen is two dollars cheaper."

This is the price for an insulin pen cartridge; actually, in China, this type sells for about 30 RMB.

Meaning, that's about eight times the difference!

Zhao Ying bought five in one go!

Driven by a surge of energy and disbelief that this was real!

But when she received the items.

She had the legitimate US products, so with a side-by-side comparison.

Goodness! Completely identical!

Except for the packaging being in Spanish.

Since it's exported to Mexico.

So...

She panicked and felt a bit excited.

Until she was walking back to the car.

Suddenly!

"Hello, Senator Zhao Ying."

"Ah, hello, Dr. Zhou."

It was Zhou Mo Sen!

Was she found out after all?

Zhao Ying felt quite embarrassed, but soon felt even more so.

"Oh, you're here to buy insulin, huh."

This...

Zhou Mo Sen really knew where to rub it in.

A flustered blush came to Zhao Ying's face, and she had to admit, "Yes, indeed, here for insulin, haha, that..." she couldn't help but ask another question.

"Dr. Zhou, do you think there's anything wrong with this insulin?"

Yes, can you help check its authenticity?

Zhou Mo Sen took a look and then said to her: "Do you have what you're currently using?"

Of course, Zhao Ying handed over her insulin pen.

Zhou Mo Sen directly unwrapped the new one since Zhao Ying's was already loaded.

Then the doctor dismantled the cartridge from the pen.

The two insulin pen cartridges were placed together.

Zhou Mo Sen smiled slightly, "Senator Zhao, here are two insulin cartridges; can you tell me which one is real and which is fake?"

With this question, Zhao Ying was stumped on the spot!
