Chapter 169 New Type of Blood Protease

The three arrived at the hospital. Jiangcheng Hospital had already urgently isolated several wards for the injured from tonight.

The injured had already received treatment and were in stable condition, with no signs of transformation. None of them showed the fever that Chi Hao had mentioned.

However, given the importance of the matter, they couldn't afford to be careless. Chen Xiao instructed them to continue the isolation until they were completely sure they were normal before discharging them.

Ren Songfei was also there. He finally managed to corner Chen Xiao, pulling him aside to ask all the questions that had been weighing on his mind.

Chen Xiao didn't deliberately hide anything, telling Ren Songfei everything he knew in detail.

After listening to Chen Xiao's words, Ren Songfei's expression became incredibly serious and profound.

"It's actually someone from the Fugula family. This matter is no small thing. I will report it immediately."

Hearing Ren Songfei's words, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What, Director Ren, do you also know people from the Fugula family?"

Ren Songfei shook his head. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I don't know them personally, but according to our Evil Exorcism Division's internal historical records, members of the Fugula family once invaded China. They were ultimately defeated by Chinese experts working together, who forced them to promise that the Fugula family's bloodline would never set foot on Chinese soil again. Although that was over a century ago, I never expected them to break their promise and make a comeback!"

"Oh? Who defeated them? Can you tell me more about it?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Ren Songfei smiled wryly, "Chen Xiao, don't push me. You should be able to tell that what I just told you violates the rules. Some things, it's not that I don't want to say them, but that I can't. I hope you can understand."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "Alright, I won't push you then."

From his brief interaction with this Director Ren, Chen Xiao found that he wasn't a bad person. Although he had some minor flaws, overall, he was acceptable.

"Well, thank you for your understanding, Chen Xiao. Rest assured, you're not fighting alone. Now that you've killed members of the Fugula family, they definitely won't let it go. Behind you, you have our entire Evil Exorcism Division, the entire country of China to support you!"

Ren Songfei said with a serious expression.

Seeing him like this, Chen Xiao was embarrassed to tease him, so he just nodded and responded casually, "Alright, I know. It's getting late, I need to go back. Let me know immediately if there are any problems. Goodbye!"

"Okay, be careful on your way!"

Ren Songfei politely saw Chen Xiao off.

Chen Xiao left the ward and took the elevator downstairs.

When he reached the first floor, the elevator doors opened, and Song Anran stood outside, both of them with surprised expressions on their faces.

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?"

They asked each other in unison.

Then, Song Anran revealed a look of disdain and teased, "Why aren't you spending a pleasant evening with your blonde babe? What are you doing at the hospital?"

"Director Song, that was a misunderstanding. It's not actually what you saw…"

Chen Xiao couldn't explain this. He couldn't very well tell Song Anran that the babe was a vampire and had already been burned to death by him, could he?

"You still know that I'm Director Song? Is there a problem with me coming to the hospital? Speaking of which, you're still my assistant, aren't you?"

Song Anran said with a pout.

Chen Xiao corrected her, "Director Song, I'm not your assistant anymore. I'm now the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department!"

"Oh, you've become a director? Three days apart, and you should be looked at with new eyes?"

Song Anran said sarcastically again, muttering, "You still haven't explained to me what happened earlier."

"This… I can't explain it clearly in a short time. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to tell me something important? What was it?"

Chen Xiao didn't want to explain, so he changed the subject.

Song Anran thought for a moment and stepped into the elevator. "Come with me, I'll show you something."

As the elevator went up, Song Anran said, "Actually, the reason I came to Jiangcheng this time was to hold a press conference at Jiangcheng Medical College. I have a very important research project that I want to announce."

"Oh? Didn't you just say that you came back because of me? How could you forget so quickly?"

Chen Xiao questioned.

Song Anran rolled her eyes. "Can you let me finish? My research project has had a major breakthrough recently. I've synthesized a new type of blood protease."

"In simple terms, this protease has a very strong immune ability and can greatly improve the human body's immune repair capabilities. If used properly, it can even be used to cure cancer."

Song Anran's simple words carried a lot of weight for Chen Xiao, as a doctor.

It could be said that if this research result was real, Song Anran could become a hot figure for all mankind. Her research results could save billions of lives.

Of course, if Chen Xiao wanted to do these things, he could also do them.

Including those cultivators, if they wanted to do it, they could also do it, but they were not ordinary people after all. The most important thing about cultivating immortality was self-cultivation and mind-nurturing, and they could not be too immersed in the joys and sorrows of the secular world.

What's more, most of those powerful cultivators would not take the lives of ordinary people seriously.

As for Chen Xiao, he had no interest in doing so. He was like a bug in this world, and he didn't want to change the world too much because of himself, as that might create even bigger bugs.

So until now, he had only affected the people around him, and the scope was relatively small and easier to control.

And Song Anran was completely different. If she released her research results, it could be said that she promoted human evolution to some extent.

A contribution for thousands of generations!

As she spoke, Song Anran took Chen Xiao to her laboratory.

She took out a very high-tech thermostat box, unlocked it with fingerprint and iris recognition. Inside the box was a small glass tube containing a blood-red liquid.

"This is the new type of protease I synthesized."

Song Anran introduced.

Chen Xiao asked with a smile, "Director Song, why are you showing me this?"

Song Anran smiled slightly, "Because I'm considering whether or not to make this research result public."

"And even if I want to announce it, I have to get your approval first, so saying that the main purpose of my coming to Jiangcheng this time is to find you is not exactly a lie."

Chen Xiao was stunned, "What does this have to do with me? This is your research result. Although I'm your assistant, I haven't helped you much."

"How could you say that!"

Song Anran curled her lips, saying somewhat guiltily, "The main constituent cells of this protease were extracted from your blood…"
