Chapter 2127: 2130: Wenren Meiqiao's Flirtatious Side-Eye (Fifth Update)

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Qingxuan, whose beauty slightly surpassed the stunning fairy Qin Yurou, looked at Shen Qiang with delight in her eyes and said expectantly, "Thank you, Master. Qingxuan will follow all of your arrangements."Shen Qiang smiled at her charming face and said, "Rest assured, just be patient."

Qingxuan responded with a hum, her eyes filled with happiness and anticipation.

This made Taiyin Youying, who was sitting on the Plague Source, seem somewhat displeased: "Don't forget my Flower Crown."

"I know."

Saying this to Taiyin Youying, Shen Qiang turned his head and whispered softly in Qingxuan's ear, "Trust me, soon you will have your freedom. By then, I'll buy you lots of beautiful clothes, take you to eat top-tier delicacies, and we can go shopping and do anything you want."

Qingxuan, whose beauty slightly surpassed the stunning fairy Qin Yurou, suddenly blushed.

"Anything I want to do?"

Her heart suddenly raced.

"Yes! Anything you want," Shen Qiang replied, understanding her thoughts.

Afterwards, the beautiful Qingxuan blushed so much that she lowered her head, replied with a hum, and dared not say anything more.

At that moment, in the infectious disease department of the hospital in Beijing.

A few officers dressed in military uniform wore grave expressions.

"The speed at which these bacteria evolve is beyond imagination. We've used many medications, and none are effective. Judging by the situation, these patients won't last until tomorrow, especially the critically ill ones who probably won't survive even half an hour," one of them said.

"The rapid progression of the illness is completely beyond our expectations. Even if Shen Qiang has set off now, I'm afraid it won't be in time."

"Indeed, Beijing is very far from the Provincial City. By the time Advisor Shen arrives, it might just be for collecting bodies."

Hearing what the officers said, Wenren Meiqiao with furrowed brows said coldly, "You all worry too much. Advisor Shen is the King of Demons. If he's coming here, his speed will exceed your expectations."

The leading officer said, "General Wenren, we know you are friendly with Advisor Shen, but realistically speaking, even with Sword Flight at full speed, it takes at least three hours to get from the Provincial City to here, and he certainly won't make it in time."

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao said coldly, "You knew that even Sword Flight wouldn't be fast enough, so why didn't you act earlier? If you had informed Advisor Shen sooner, would we be in this situation now?"

The Dragon Group officers immediately fell silent.

One of them let out an awkward laugh and said, "General Wenren, please don't be angry. We were overwhelmed at the time and overlooked seeking Advisor Shen's help."

"I think forgetting was an excuse; you were afraid of Shen Qiang taking the credit," Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant said coldly.

In an instant, no one spoke.

Only the man who let out an awkward laugh jumped like he had been stepped on, saying, "That's not true! Don't falsely accuse us."

"Whether it's a false accusation or not is not important," Wenren Meiqiao interrupted coldly. "I'm not a child. I know why you asked me to seek Shen Qiang's help only when time was clearly running out."

"You just wanted me to be a witness, and then you stand here incessantly claiming that it's too late for Shen Qiang to arrive, hoping to cover up your delay in seeking help so that if something goes wrong, others will think it's because Shen Qiang was slow to arrive, and not your fault."

The face of the Dragon Group officer flushed, and he quickly said, "General Wenren, that's not what we meant."

"I will make my own judgment about your intentions, but I hope you understand that Shen Qiang is not only the Medicine King but also Dragon Group's undisputed top infectious disease expert, so in the future, should similar incidents occur, I hope you make decisions earlier to avoid harming yourself and others."

Hearing Wenren Meiqiao's words, the Dragon Group officers remained silent.

However, the officer who kept denying said, "General Wenren, we will handle future matters properly, but Advisor Shen truly didn't arrive immediately. If accountability is necessary, it's hard to say who is more at fault, and it's obvious to anyone that critically ill patients had issues because Advisor Shen did not arrive on time, so..."

Wenren Meiqiao's eyes shot up.

But at that moment, laughter sounded behind them.

"Not everyone is a moralist. Sometimes, doing whatever it takes to protect oneself is unavoidable, so Meiqiao, there's no need to be so angry," came the voice.

Hearing this, all the Dragon Group officers present instantly turned around.

Then, Wenren Meiqiao exclaimed with joyful eyes, "Shen Qiang, you actually arrived, and so quickly!"

Ye Guyun next to Shen Qiang heard this and looked proud.

"Quick? I thought it was just average. A thousand kilometers in ten minutes, that speed is just so-so," Shen Qiang smiled calmly.

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao chuckled charmingly, "You're so full of it. When someone calls you fat, you immediately start panting. What a person you are."

Saying that, she coquettishly gave Shen Qiang a sideways glance.

At this time, a few Dragon Group officers beside them looked at Shen Qiang and the proud Ye Guyun with startled eyes full of shock.

"Advisor Shen, did you come from the Provincial City?"

"Yes, I was at Heshenghe Mountain Villa, thinking about where to have dinner when I received the call," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly.

A few Dragon Group officers exchanged shocked glances.

Then, one of the Dragon Group officers said, "Advisor Shen, the patients are in dire condition. A few critically ill patients are on the verge of death. Since you're here, please take a look."

"Lead the way," Shen Qiang said calmly.

"Okay, follow me." The Dragon Group officer immediately walked ahead.

Shen Qiang, Ye Guyun, Wenren Meiqiao, and her assistant immediately followed, while the other Dragon Group officers stood still, watching Shen Qiang and the others enter the ward with the guiding officer. One officer opened a barrier and said, "Damn, that was incredibly fast. I didn't expect Advisor Shen to arrive so quickly."

"Fast is useless, hmph, as you know, the patient's condition is grave. The bacteria mutate so rapidly that even Shen Qiang's presence won't help. This isn't a problem that can be solved with a Pill because, under the bacteria's influence, patients' organs have all failed. Without destroying these pathogens, nothing we feed them will work."

Hearing this, another person also said, "That's true. Though his speed was unexpectedly fast, fortunately, he's here now. Whatever happens next, it's not our problem anymore. I reckon, with a bit of luck, a few of these infected ones may survive. Those critically ill, even Shen Qiang won't be able to save them!"
