A very expensive drug

After he was done showering, he heard his phone vibrating furiously on top of the bedside table.
Huo Shaoheng picked up the phone. It was an incoming call from Chen Lie.
He unlocked the phone with a swipe, accepted the call, and heard Chen Lie say, "Open the door! I have something to report! It's important!"
Huo Shaoheng walked to the door, opened it, and hurried out of the bedroom.
Chen Lie stood before him, his face as white as a sheet.
Huo Shaoheng calmly asked, "You have the results of the drug analysis?" Six hours had passed.
Chen Lie's face was pale; he said, stuttering, "Master Huo, I know what it is. This is no ordinary sexual stimulant!"


"What is it?" asked Huo Shaoheng. His voice was quiet and calm, but deeper than usual. It seemed to come from somewhere deep inside his chest.
"It's H3aB7!" Chen Lie's voice was now high and piercing. "You know about H3aB7, right? It's the drug we've been investigating recently!"
The blue veins on the back of Huo Shaoheng's hands stood out. "What? You're sure it's H3aB7?!"
"There's no mistaking it!" Chen Lie looked like he was about to cry. "Your team obtained the molecular formula and composition ratio for it not too long ago. I have them stored on my computer, so I cross-referenced the data with the results from the aphrodisiac. I'll be damned if they aren't exactly the same!"
"But it's a very expensive drug, and very little of it has been produced so far. How?" Huo Shaoheng could no longer keep his composure.


"H3aB7 is a special genetic drug developed by Japanese scientists. It can destroy, on the genetic level, both the immune system and genetic inheritance system.
"Children born to women affected by the drug become less genetically viable with each subsequent generation. Their IQ decreases, but their physical strength increases. They eventually end up like the dumb trolls portrayed in Western myths. By that point they are no more intelligent than your average farm animal, and have to be treated as such. They won't even be good enough to be used as slaves. Now on to the drug's side effects: the drug causes women to ovulate and emit pheromones that entice men into mating with them, so their eggs can be fertilized. The scientists then screen the subsequent offspring to see whether their genes deteriorate with each generation. So when a woman is injected with this drug, her reproductive instincts take over, and her appetite for sex increases, way beyond that of the average women. She basically behaves like an animal, living and breathing according to biological instinct--"
Huo Shaoheng interjected, "But our intel shows that the drug experiment was a failure. H3aB7 does not actually weaken the genetic material of the maternal carrier."
Chen Lie nodded, and said, somewhat awkwardly, "That was what they were aiming for, but they failed to achieve the desired effect because their research wasn't quite there yet. They're still experimenting with it. Something did come out of their research, however they learned that the drug has a fatal side effect."
"What side effect?"
"You know the drug 'Viagra'? It wasn't supposed to be a male aphrodisiac. Originally, the researchers were developing a treatment for heart disease, but along the way they found that the drug increased blood flow to the male groin. That was how they discovered an exceptionally effective male enhancement drug for men.
"Do you get what I'm saying now? To put it simply, they haven't found a way to sabotage genetic material with H3aB7, not yet, but its effects as a first-rate sexual stimulant for women have already been proven."


Chen Lie was becoming increasingly embarrassed. He said, with some difficulty, "The end-goal for this drug is reproduction. That means that a woman under its effects needs to experience actual sexual contact"
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a full minute. He finally said, in a hoarse voice, "She needs actual sexual contact?"
Chen Lie nodded gravely. "It's either that, or she dies. I'm not joking! These genetic drugs are incredibly potent!"
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long moment. He finally nodded, and rattled out a string of conditions as he paced the room, counting them out on his fingers. "Number 1: No one else must know. Number 2: Get a man who is healthy, free of STDs, and has never fooled around with multiple partners. Better still, get a virgin. Number 3: This man must forget everything once it's all over and done with. Got it?"
Chen Lie rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I got it, but what do you think you're doing looking for a son-in-law? Healthy, STD-free, and a virgin to boot?! Why don't you set up a martial arts tournament and have the entire army fight for her hand in marriage, while you're at it?! And besides, this drug was injected into her bloodstream, so it's a lot more effective than ingesting it orally. One man may not be enough!"
Huo Shaoheng fell silent again. After a moment he said, through gritted teeth, "It was injected into her bloodstream? Who did it?"
