Chapter 2340: Chapter 660: Treating the Epidemic, Huaxia’s Savior 7
Taking the documents from Zhang Yufeng’s hand, An Yiqing quickly scanned through them. Just as she suspected, Yu Tianhua was the Deputy Director of Xuanjin Medical College, while Shi Yimeng was a professor there. Both were in the same institution, and coupled with Yu Tianhua’s handling of this outbreak, she had always felt there was an unspeakable relationship between him and Shi Yimeng.
Investigating now, indeed, there was something fishy between these two. Before the epidemic broke out in Wind City, Yu Tianhua had appeared multiple times at Shi Yimeng’s residence. Moreover, during this period, the two had maintained consistent phone contact.
Reflecting on the peculiar aspect of this epidemic, An Yiqing could easily guess that Shi Yimeng, or even the Poison Medicine Sect, had interfered in this incident.
"Miss, even if Shi Yimeng and Yu Tianhua have had contact, it can’t prove that this epidemic has anything to do with the Poison Medicine Sect." Zhang Yufeng was baffled.
An Yiqing chuckled lightly, "You’re right, but I found an ingredient in the virus from the epidemic very close to what is found in cells cultivated by the Tutian Family. This ingredient can only be produced synthetically; it can’t form just through the transmission of natural bacteria."
Zhang Yufeng felt a chill down her back, her complexion not looking good, "So you’re saying, the hundreds of deaths in Wind City due to the epidemic were all man-made?!"
An Yiqing remained silent, her silence speaking volumes. Zhang Yufeng felt her scalp tingling; just to what extent have these people from the Poison Medicine Sect lost their humanity? Dare they openly target so many innocent civilians! Aren’t they afraid that one night they’ll be haunted by vengeful spirits?
"Then miss, their purpose is..."
"High-level Cultivators!" An Yiqing’s face was frosty, her voice chilling, "All these patients have medicinal components for Cultivators in their bodies, their corpses are the best embryos for creating Cultivators. If I can’t develop a cure for the epidemic, then those living patients, and the uncremated dead ones, will all become their test subjects. Furthermore, this bacteria spreads rapidly; if not completely treated, Wind City citizens and even Xuanjin citizens will be gradually infected, and then..."
By then, the whole of Xuanjin may be filled with mindless Medicine Persons! The entire country, utterly ruined!
Zhang Yufeng stepped back several paces, her legs weakened, collapsing onto the sofa. She had considered countless motives for the Poison Medicine Sect, but their ambitions were indeed excessive!
"Miss, what do we do now?"
An Yiqing, silent for a long time, said, "In a few days, I’ll meet with Mr. Wu to discuss this matter in detail. Xiao Feng, you’ll get me the recent cremation statistics from various crematoria in Wind City; I need an understanding."
So many deaths in Wind City, from the disease, from being crushed. Each of these bodies could be the best embryos for the Tutian Family to create Cultivators, would they seize this opportunity, making even deceased Xuanjin citizens restless?
An Yiqing had no answers in her heart; she just hoped the Poison Medicine Sect and the Tutian Family still had some conscience left...
Days later, An Yiqing got into the car sent by Mr. Wu, heading to the Xuanjin Sovereign’s office. This meeting involved only her and Mr. Wu, with even the bodyguards kept outside.
"Mr. Wu, nice to meet you for the first time." An Yiqing said with a gentle smile.
Mr. Wu, seeing the young lady standing at the door, immediately stood up to greet her with a smile, "Xiao Qing, please take a seat, make yourself comfortable."
An Yiqing and Mr. Wu sat facing each other on the sofa; Mr. Wu personally poured her a cup of tea, not showing a trace of being the most esteemed person in whole Xuanjin.
"Speaking of it, Xiao Qing and I have been acquainted for quite some time. It’s just that previously, it was always through Xiao Long, Xiao Fong, and others, and never formally met face-to-face. I guess today counts as our first face-to-face exchange?" Mr. Wu’s features were elegant, his smile gentle, "This day for Xiao Qing to have a simple meal here, consider it my thanks for your assistance back then."
An Yiqing naturally understood that Mr. Wu referred to when she helped the Wu Family defeat the Kang faction. She smiled, "Mr. Wu’s generous hospitality, Xiao Qing won’t refuse."
As they exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Wu noticed An Yiqing’s serene demeanor, yet laughed bitterly inside. From the start, he knew this young lady’s thoughts were deeper than his; leading her by the nose was simply impossible.
"Xiao Qing, for this matter, Wu here represents Xuanjin to offer you thanks."
