Chapter 1197: Chapter 1196: I Love Her (Him), No Matter What
When Lu Mian said this, her bright and clear eyes were black and white.
Xiao Qimo saw the hidden light and warmth in them, which she didn’t easily reveal, yet it instantaneously healed and soothed him.
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
The Demon and the God of Death are indeed a match made in heaven.
Only the young girl before him could heal the shadows and gloom in his heart.
Xiao Qimo interlocked his fingers with Lu Mian’s.
The man lightly trembled his eyelashes, nodded in agreement, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."
The past events have already happened and cannot be changed.
He can only listen to his wife and change the course of the future.
This time, he was determined to get to the bottom of the laboratory leak incident.
Seeing his agreement, Lu Mian gave a gentle smile, ruffled his hair, and hugged him.
Xiao Qimo hadn’t had the time to savor her brief warmth, when Lu Mian’s rapidly spinning mind already provided a solution.
"First, we need to control the radioactive source to prevent the radiation range from further expanding, which I believe you’ve all completed. Secondly, we need to treat the victims."
Lu Mian paused, stroked her chin, and paced a few steps in the study.
"I’ve thought about it, the RE Factor can stimulate tissue cell regeneration, but it doesn’t have detoxifying effects, so we can’t use it for now. Even if given to patients, it won’t have the desired effect. If we can develop a specific drug that completely removes radioactive substances, both severely and mildly affected victims could recover fully. Director Qi, we should contact the experts at Qiushui Farm immediately and let them handle this matter."
"Hmm, I’ll arrange it," Xiao Qimo nodded, "This is the ideal outcome, yet also the hardest path."
Lu Mian chuckled softly, "Don’t worry, I’m with you."
"Okay."
Just like when the family feud erupted, Xiao Qimo firmly told Lu Mian "I’m with you," Lu Mian’s promise to Xiao Qimo was encapsulated in these simple yet resonant three words.
"I’m with you."
They didn’t indulge in sweet talk nor proclaimed love at every turn, but their actions validated one statement.
I love her (him), regardless of everything.
——
That night.
While Lu Mian had long forgotten about the incident of assaulting the reporter, there were some sarcastic remarks online.
Claiming a wealthy person lacked social morality and responsibility, assaulting a reporter in the street due to a bad mood, etc.
They vaguely insinuated that this person was Lu Mian.
They didn’t dare to say it explicitly and could only allude to Lu Mian in such an indirect way.
Some who disliked Lu Mian or were inherently annoyed with her, forwarded the posts.
[Having such capabilities, yet being idle at a critical time, truly disgusting!]
[Even if she’s not a medical student, she has so much money, she could donate some as research funds!]
[Exactly! At the very least, spending the money on victims or their families would be a tiny contribution. If I were the richest person, I’d immediately donate billions.]
[Totally seen through her!]
Ya Ling, while eating, casually browsed her phone and stumbled upon such posts.
She was really puzzled.
The same people who yesterday were singing praises for Mian-ge could change faces overnight and unabashedly scold him?
A mere keyboard at hand allows them to stand on a moral high ground and wildly sanction others?
Adding insult to injury, various psychological "masters" seized this chance to market themselves, feigning knowledge while speculating about Lu Mian’s psychological state.
Ya Ling rolled her eyes, during Mian-ge’s charity work, these people were nowhere to be found.
The ones who claim to donate billions in this lifetime are just boasting.
How could they truly understand Mian-ge? The "Lu Mian" they speak of is merely their self-assumed understanding.
Ya Ling, bored, closed her phone. Just then, Tang Wenhui called for another meeting, so she shoveled in two bites and headed to the conference room.
The purpose of Tang Wenhui’s meeting was mainly to rally all medical staff to overcome the challenges posed by this Watson Laboratory leak, ensuring that all patients from Central Hospital could be discharged healthily.
Such a requirement was almost impossible, and everyone openly admitted they couldn’t do it.
Tang Wenhui haughtily crossed her arms, leaving no room for negotiation.
"This incident is highly regarded by both the Presidential Residence and the international community. We must show some achievements to the outside world. If we successfully save victims globally, we will be heroes of this incident."
"Current events often create heroes, this is our chance to shine."
Tang Wenhui surveyed the key personnel in the meeting room, all carefully selected as exceptionally talented doctors.
If they all joined forces, it’s not impossible to find a solution.
Tang Wenhui slyly added, "If you don’t want outsiders to say we’re not even as good as an outsider like Lu Mian, then you don’t have to try hard."
"Dr. Tang, what is this? We’re all professional medical graduates, how is it possible we can’t even compare to Lu Mian?"
"She merely developed an RE Factor, attributing it to coincidence wouldn’t be excessive. Comparing her to us is an insult!"
"I heard that a reporter interviewed Lu Mian, asking if she had any good ideas or suggestions, and she even beat up the reporter... It’s evident she doesn’t want to care about this matter."
Ya Ling narrowed her eyes, casting a cold glance at the doctor who said that.
"Uncertain of the full picture, refrain from judging. Are these the manners of top students?"
"Ha, Dr. Ye, you’re a good friend of Lu Mian, of course, you stand up for her. However... with so many outsiders placing high hopes on her, she gave such a cold answer."
Ya Ling wanted to say more, but Tang Wenhui directly interrupted her, "Never mind Lu Mian, it’s up to us core members now. If you don’t work harder, our Central Hospital’s reputation will indeed suffer."
Other doctors, hearing this, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Tang Wenhui was right, they’re professional doctors with the lowest education being a master’s degree. If Lu Mian can research such a miraculous drug, why can’t they?
Under Tang Wenhui’s instigation, everyone was motivated.
Ya Ling found it boring. Rather than sitting there listening to Tang Wenhui’s orders, it’s better to see more patients.
She stood up to head to the wards and coincidentally received a message from Lu Mian. Ya Ling’s eyes lit up slightly, a glimmer of hope.
Tang Wenhui, seeing her so unruly, shouted after her.
"Ya Ling, if you step out of this office today, you’re no longer part of our team."
