After a twelve-hour flight, Smith was finally back in Washington.
Coincidentally, the plane that he took did not touch down at Washington Airport. Instead, it was guided by the air traffic controllers to an army airport in the suburbs of Washington.
The reason why they guided the plane to land at the army airport was because he was carrying those twenty boxes of Apothecary Restoration Pill. For the United States, that medication was not as simple as a n invaluable treasure, so much so that it might very much possibly be a great weapon of international competition in peacetime.
After the plane had landed, it was immediately guided by a guiding vehicle to an army hangar that was specially used to store bombers.
At that time, the hangar was entirely vacant. There were nearly a hundred people there, and they had waited for a long time.
There were people in charge from the military, the senior management of the Ministry of Health, the elites from various major laboratories, as well as the laboratory teams from several top pharmaceutical companies.
Other than that, some men in suits who appeared to
look extremely serious were present. Based on Smith's experience, those people were most probably agents from the CIA.
Smith had not foreseen that he would be greeted by such a grand group of people upon his return to his country.
The moment the cabin door was opened, many soldiers immediately rushed into the plane before he could regain his wits. The moment those soldiers boarded the plane, they immediately gave an order.
"All of you have to bring along your belongings and get off the plane immediately. We’ll do a thorough inspection on this plane right away. If you hide any sensitive items with you in the plane, we'll deal with you seriously!"
Smith said awkwardly, "Could it be that you guys were worried that we may have secretly brought some illegal items back to the country?"
The soldier said with a cold expression, “Mr. Smith, you have to make sure that every box and every pill of the Apothecary Restoration Pill is with you safe and sound."
