Chapter 2128: 2131: Times Have Changed, Even Beauties Get Jealous

The officers of the Dragon Group behind him seemed to have formed an impression, while Shen Qiang, walking beside the dashing Wenren Meiqiao, inhaled the faint jasmine scent emanating from her. His expression remained calm and serene, as saving people in such situations posed no difficulty for him at all. If there was anything that caused a ripple in Shen Qiang's emotions, it was the fact that the bacteria these infected individuals were afflicted with was a variant of the H5N1 flu, with a highly fatality rate. Shen Qiang's Plague Source could indeed produce a certain amount of antibodies, yet they were not at the mass-production level. The only concern was the number of infected individuals — if it were excessive, even Shen Qiang would be powerless.

Furthermore,

From the moment he received Wenren Meiqiao's call, Shen Qiang felt a sense of déjà vu.

Because this bacteria's emergence was peculiar.

This reminded Shen Qiang of the Blood Clan he had previously dealt with.

Because, seemingly every time this kind of bacteria appeared around Shen Qiang, it signaled their presence.

Outside the ICU.

Several experts were engaged in a complex discussion.

"Looking at the current situation, the patients are in a dire state, the isolation process has already begun, and the investigation of the infection source is underway, yet the outlook remains grim. The outpatients have been notified: once suspected cases are identified, they must be isolated immediately."

"The crux of the problem isn't here; the virus has mutated more rapidly and aggressively this time, leaving us no time for research."

"There's no other option; all the specialized medicines have been tried and failed, so now, we can only try to save them. Whether we succeed is up to fate."

Walking behind Wenren Meiqiao, just at the ICU entrance, Shen Qiang gave her a subtle smile and nod.

Wenren Meiqiao showed reluctance.

At this point, the officer from the Dragon Group started greeting the experts.

"Hello experts, this is our consultant, Shen Qiang, he's here to assist everyone in treating the patients."

Upon hearing this, all the experts present were stunned.

"Shen Qiang, I've heard this name before."

"Sounds familiar."

"Tianyou Medicine!" one expert's eyes instantly brightened. He briskly walked forward and enthusiastically shook Shen Qiang's hand, saying, "Consultant Shen, I know you — the Father of Lactose, the fastest surgeon, and an infectious disease expert. I've long admired your reputation."

Shen Qiang smiled and nodded, "You're too kind."

After hearing the expert's words, the other experts' eyes lit up instantly.

They surged forward to shake hands with Shen Qiang.

"Consultant Shen, I've admired your reputation for a long time. You look much younger than on TV."

"Unbelievable. I had assumed, upon hearing the title, Father of Lactose, you were like us, an old man. Now, looking at you, it's indeed true that heroes emerge young."

Shen Qiang smiled while shaking hands with them.

At this moment, the Dragon Group officer who led them there said, "This is our Chief of Security, Major General Wenren Meiqiao."

Upon hearing the introduction.

Wenren Meiqiao smiled, her expression clearly showed she was waiting for them to greet her.

But after an "oh" from the experts present, no polite words followed, they continued to surround Shen Qiang, animated and euphoric.

"Consultant Shen, your research on infectious diseases has brought forth many unexpected insights, especially in microbiology and pharmacology. Your accomplishments are simply astounding."

"What shocked me the most was your paper on treating cancer with anthrax protein, it opened a door to a new world for us."

"Very impressive, meeting Consultant Shen is truly an honor."

Watching these experts react with a mere "oh" to her, yet surround Shen Qiang animatedly, Wenren Meiqiao gritted her teeth.

"Sycophants." Wenren Meiqiao rolled her eyes and ignored them.

She walked towards the ICU entrance, took a glance inside, then said coldly, "Alright, Consultant Shen, you're here to treat and save lives, not to show off. Get to work."

Hearing these words, which were cynical enough to be pungent, Shen Qiang chuckled.

This naturally earned him yet another eye-roll from Wenren Meiqiao.

"Incompetents guiding the competent, it's a favorite pastime of authorities, as if their command proves their capability," one old expert sighed, muttering quietly.

Another expert laughed, then said solemnly, "Consultant Shen, these patients' conditions have deteriorated significantly, we've done everything possible in rescue attempts." As he spoke, he handed Shen Qiang the medical records detailing the patients' conditions.

While Shen Qiang reviewed them, another expert glanced at Wenren Meiqiao, lowered his voice and said, "Consultant Shen, I'd personally advise against taking over these severe cases — their recovery chances are almost zero. Perhaps check on those with milder symptoms."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It's fine, don't worry. With me here, these individuals will survive."

The experts were stunned.

"This is quite challenging."

"Consultant Shen, what's your treatment plan?"

Seeing the curious, doubtful, and somewhat incredulous stares from the experts, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "The treatment plan isn't crucial; what's crucial is my company's new drug under development, which is perfectly suited for this. A single injection will suffice."

Saying this, Shen Qiang handed a bottle containing the antibody produced by Plague Source to the experts, saying, "For severe cases, inject ten milliliters, for non-severe cases, five milliliters is enough. Under normal circumstances, the worsening will cease within thirty seconds, and improvement will begin in one minute."

The experts exchanged glances, after which, despite some doubts, they chose not to voice them.

After all, Shen Qiang now isn't the same minor doctor easily questioned by anyone.

"Alright, we'll try anything — let's begin now."

With that, the doctors promptly began their work.

Seeing them in action.

Shen Qiang stood cheerfully behind the tall and poised Wenren Meiqiao, softly saying, "You have a strong sense of jealousy."

Wenren Meiqiao tilted her head, coquettishly glaring with a big eye-roll at Shen Qiang, "What am I jealous of? Just sycophants, unaware I'm an Immortal, naturally they won't acknowledge me."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "It's just a difference in fields. Within the Dragon Group Combat Team, all those team members are sycophants towards you as well. See, when have I been jealous?"

This remark brought a slight smile to Wenren Meiqiao's charming face, then coquettishly she said, "That's a smooth talker for you. I won't hold it against you for not inviting me to Heshenghe Mountain Villa."
