A Divine Farmer Chapter 300

Chapter 300 - She Could Not Take the Bla

“You're right. Go dilute the dicine right away and get it ready for the patient,” Chen Shi commanded Liu Hsing without hesitation.

Liu Hsing was sowhat reluctant, but he knew that his objections would lead nowhere. Chen Shi had made up his mind, and whatever the outco, he was prepared to face it.

There was a silver lining, though; they could test the dicine on Su i first. If she experienced any adverse reactions, they could still prevent Zhang Xiaolong from administering the drug recklessly.

Liu Hsing remained convinced that Zhang Xiaolong had nefarious intentions, aiming to profit from the epidemic. If it wasn't money he was after, then it had to be fa. After all, anyone who made a significant impact during such a devastating outbreak would surely be featured in the newspapers and sward by reporters, becoming an overnight sensation whether they liked it or not.

Despite his deep-seated discontent, Liu Hsing went ahead and arranged for the dicine to be diluted, all the while keeping a watchful eye on Zhang Xiaolong's every action.

They reached Su i's ward to find her significantly thinner, her skin showing troubling signs of bleeding.

Zhang Xiaolong had only been to Eternal Light Village for a single day, yet Su i had contracted the Ebola Virus before his visit. The symptoms had started to manifest over the past few days and had now escalated.

Upon Zhang Xiaolong's arrival, Su i froze montarily before turning away in a fit of hysteria. “Don't co any closer, I don't want to see you. Just leave!” she cried out.

“I've found a cure that can completely eradicate the virus. Just drink this, and you'll start to feel better imdiately,” Zhang Xiaolong urged her earnestly.

Tears stread down Su i's face as she faced away from him. She had ingested nurous dications that day, but all she had witnessed were more patients being carried out of the ward, one by one.

Having lost all hope for survival, she didn't want Zhang Xiaolong to witness her in such a wretched state before her death.

“I won't drink it. Get out!” Su i lashed out, feigning anger. “Do you think you can boss around just because I had feelings for you? I'd rather die. Leave alone!”

“Ridiculous!” Zhang Xiaolong was furious. “I traveled a great distance to find you, solely to bring back a whole Su i to Mr. Su as a matter of accountability. If I hadn't co, it would be a different story. But now that I'm here, you don't get to choose death. Hurry up and take your dicine!”

“Get out!” Su i actually just wanted him to leave; she could take the dicine later, even without him present.

Sadly, Zhang Xiaolong failed to grasp her intentions. This was no laughing matter. Moreover, her refusal to take the dicine ant the doctor couldn't risk giving it to other patients, which could lead to complications.

In a mont of hesitation, Su i's stubborn streak resurfaced. “If you won't leave, I'll just kill myself to prove my point!”

With that, she charged toward the nearest wall.

The wall was a re two ters away, with Zhang Xiaolong and the others several ters behind her. By the ti they realized what was happening, it was too late to intervene.

Thud!

Su i collided with the wall, fully intending to knock herself out.

Always proud and haughty, she had considered herself the most beautiful woman. Now, humiliated in front of the man she loved, she couldn't bear it and acted out in desperation.

But as she braced for the impact, expecting pain, she found the wall surprisingly forgiving. Far from lethal, she couldn't even manage to faint or feign unconsciousness.

Opening her eyes, she discovered she had run into Zhang Xiaolong's chest, cushioned by his hand. No wonder the “wall” had felt so soft.

Chen Shi and the rest breathed a sigh of relief. They had only seen a blur before Zhang Xiaolong intercepted her, preventing what could have been the first suicide in the quarantine zone.

“Why would you…” Su i was initially shocked, then turned pale with fear. “Why are you so foolish? You could get infected!”

“Don't worry,” Zhang Xiaolong reassured her, holding her wrist firmly. “I won't get infected. Just take the dicine. Don't you trust ? Drink it, and if you still die, I'll die with you.”

“Xiaolong…” Su i cast aside all her reservations, rushing into his arms and breaking into tears.

The tender scene was swiftly captured by reporters covering the epidemic. Once the plague passed, this poignant love story alone would move hearts. And if the dicine proved effective, it would be truly remarkable.

Chen Shi and the others watched from outside, deeply moved. To think that young people would go to such lengths for love, risking everything!

But the results were clear: Su i stopped resisting and dutifully swallowed the dicine.

Zhang Xiaolong deftly produced silver needles, rapidly inserting them into her key acupoints. His divine power t no resistance, as effortless as piercing tofu with steel needles.

“Controlling needles with Qi!”

To the untrained eye, Zhang Xiaolong's technique was nothing short of impressive—both stylish and cool. But Chen Shi recognized the skill involved. It was the art of controlling needles with Qi, a feat he believed only Wang Zhengyi could achieve, though it had never been confird—rely his suspicion.

Yet here was this young man, who had boldly entered the hospital, demonstrating such a masterful technique, even surpassing Wang Zhengyi.

Soon, Zhang Xiaolong collected the needles. His actions were ant to enhance the dicine's potency, allowing for quicker results.

The room filled with the aromatic scent of the dicine. Even without tasting it, the fragrance alone was invigorating.

However, just as hope was rising, Su i suddenly expelled a mass of foul blood, startling everyone.

They had relied on the scent to gauge the dicine's quality, but if it failed to cure and instead endangered the patient's life, that would be disastrous.

All eyes turned to Chen Shi. Though it was Zhang Xiaolong who proposed the trial, any issues with the dicine would implicate Chen Shi as well.

Fully aware of the gravity, Chen Shi could only offer his remorseful apology, “I'm sorry. It was improper to test an unverified dicine on a patient. I take full responsibility for this. Once the epidemic is over, I will face the consequences. For now, let's focus on our work.”

“No, we can't let Chair Chen take the fall for this,” Liu Hsing declared with righteous indignation. “He's the one at fault. He wanted to seize this chance for his own fa, yet it's us, the frontline doctors, who are left holding the bag. You claim to be a doctor too, right? If you have any backbone, then speak up.”

All eyes turned toward him as Zhang Xiaolong stood up and offered a nonchalant smile. “This drug trial incident has had the robust support of Chair Chen…”

“Damn it!” Liu Hsing, seething with anger, swung his fist and struck out at him.
