Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Special Medicine and the Witch_1

A contagion had plunged the entire Jiangnan Prefecture into a state of unease.

It was highly infectious, with a not insignificant mortality rate.

This was the terrifying aspect of this disease.

Fortunately, Jiangnan Prefecture reacted quickly enough, taking measures to prevent the virus from spreading further.

However, even as Jiangnan Prefecture acted swiftly, the virus spread even faster.

In just one day, according to statistics from various locations, the number of infected exceeded ten thousand.

The provincial capital was a hot spot, accounting for half of the infections.

And there were already cases that had resulted in death.

From the onset of symptoms to death, it was just over ten hours.

In order to quickly resolve the epidemic, Lin Pharmaceutical was entrusted with high hopes by Jiangnan Prefecture and given policy concessions to focus on researching a cure.

Lin Pharmaceutical of course also hoped to seize this opportunity.

They had entered the research phase at full speed.

Meanwhile, in Linhai, Hua Xian Hospital and Xinmeng Group had also joined forces.

Dr. Hicks, a Nobel Laureate in Medicine, along with Hua Xian, the president of Hua Xian Hospital, led their team into a race against time.

"Another one has died!"

Every so often, the television would broadcast the latest death toll.

By the second day, the number of infections increased by two thousand, reaching over twelve thousand.

And the number of deaths had also surpassed ten.

Jiang Meng, looking at the news on TV and then at her mother, now quarantined, was in such panic that she had lost her composure.

"Mengmeng, don’t worry, your mom is a strong woman. She has gotten through so much; she will get through this as well."

Xiao Chen, drawing Jiang Meng into his arms, consoled her, "Although it may be a bit much, at this moment, as the chairman of Xinmeng Group, you ought to be strong.

We are pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, so in this epidemic, we must play a significant role."

Jiang Meng nodded, wiping away her tears: "I will, I’ll try my hardest."

It was clear she was grieving, but she was also a strong woman.

After comforting Jiang Meng, Xiao Chen too joined the research efforts of Hua Xian and Dr. Hicks.

He too was an expert in this field.

A great one at that.

If he hadn’t been too lazy to make a name for himself in this area, the whole world would probably know who he was by now.

After all, Hua Xian was merely his disciple.

Three days later, the number of infected had risen to twenty thousand, and the number of deaths had reached thirty.

Generally speaking, it would be impossible to develop a cure in just three days.

But Xinmeng Group had already started clinical trials on the third day.

Xiao Chen, Hua Xian, and Dr. Hicks, three of the top medical experts, joined hands.

Along with the top medical equipment.

Three days for them was sufficient to solve problems that would take others three months to tackle.

Another three days passed by.

The epidemic, thanks to proper management, had a slowed increase in infections, but the death toll kept rising.

Primarily due to the lack of an effective cure.

This was a problem.

As countless people anxiously and agonizingly waited in front of TVs, computers, and smartphones for good news,

a major announcement caught their attention.

On Linhai TV Station, Hua Xian, Dr. Hicks, Jiang Meng, and Leader Lei jointly delivered an uplifting message.

The cure "Propylene Convalescence" had been successfully developed, and after clinical testing, it showed excellent results.

Patients that recovered were already being discharged from the hospital.

This news was truly shocking for the entire Jiangnan Prefecture.

Most people were extremely happy.

Only the folks from Lin Pharmaceutical and Liu Pharmaceutical were furious to the point of vomiting blood.

"Damn it, Dr. Hicks was supposed to be with Lin Pharmaceutical!"

Lin Zhaoyang was so angry he almost smashed his TV.

This glory was supposed to belong to Lin Pharmaceutical.

You should know that becoming a hero at a critical time like this is too important for a pharmaceutical company.

It’s simply the best advertisement.

On television, Jiang Meng announced that Xinmeng Group had begun mass production of the special medication Bing Yankang.

And they would sell it at cost.

To produce Bing Yankang, they even halted the production of their existing drugs.

In fact, Jiang Meng had intended to make it free of charge.

But Liu Xin stopped her.

After all, running a business isn’t charity. Even selling at cost was very generous; if it were free, the losses would be tremendous.

After Jiang Meng made her statement, many raw material suppliers also announced that they would sell their materials to Xinmeng Group at cost.

At this time, stepping forward to make a statement was definitely the best choice.

A month later, the number of infections in Jiangnan Prefecture dropped to zero, with no new cases added.

Xinmeng Group truly made significant contributions in this battle against the epidemic.

And because of this, everyone in Jiangnan Prefecture knew about "Xinmeng Group—Xinmeng Pharmaceutical."

Of course, Xinmeng Group didn’t make any money that month.

Due to the production line being dedicated to Bing Yankang, there was even some loss.

But Jiangnan Prefecture and Linhai provided Xinmeng Group with millions in rewards.

So they managed to recover their losses.

They didn’t lose any capital.

Liu Xin also successfully came out of danger and left quarantine.

Jiangnan Prefecture and Linhai once again returned to their former tranquility.

Though it seemed like nothing had changed, Xinmeng Group had truly stepped onto the stage of Jiangnan Prefecture.

Linhai and Jiangnan Prefecture both started to support Xinmeng Group as a key enterprise.

After all, no one knows when something like an epidemic might happen again.

With a company like Xinmeng Group around, the people of Jiangnan Prefecture would feel much safer.

At night, on the balcony.

Jiang Meng’s head rested on Xiao Chen’s shoulder as she gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

She suddenly said, "Uncle, I have to thank you again this time. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude anymore."

"What are you talking about? Aren’t we husband and wife?"

Xiao Chen touched Jiang Meng’s nose and smiled.

"No, I owe you far too much.

I truly feel unworthy of you; you’re so outstanding, and so are your friends."

Jiang Meng suddenly said very seriously.

"So what?"

Xiao Chen looked into Jiang Meng’s eyes and asked.

"Are you planning to give up?"

"No!"

Jiang Meng shook her head and said, "I’m a very bad witch. When I see a good man, I want to grasp him tightly.

You’re rich!

Your friends are outstanding, too!

Even your true identity might shock me!

But none of this is a reason for me to abandon you.

Have you ever seen a witch give up easily on her prey?

I want to suck you dry!

Unless you start to dislike me and don’t love me anymore, then the proud witch will leave on her own, never to bother you again!"

"Silly girl!

I’ve already been cursed by a witch; how could I possibly not love you?"

Xiao Chen laughed and said, "When I first met you, I truly only saw you as my savior.

I just wanted to silently stay by your side to protect you and back you up.

To repay the kindness I owed you.

But later, I found out that you, the kind witch, are really terrifying. You made me unable to extricate myself, willing to be cursed by you.

So, Miss Witch, would you accept my proposal? To never be apart for a lifetime.

To live forever under the curse of your love!"
