Media Explosion!

A chance to survive?

Upon hearing Tang Xiao’s voice, Bai Fengling, instantly brimming with tears, suddenly felt bewildered.

“Isn’t…

I heard that this new mutant virus is incurable, with certain death!

How could I have a chance to survive?”

Tang Xiao explained, “Being incurable doesn’t mean it can never be cured!

As long as there’s a sliver of hope, naturally every effort will be made, trying all sorts of approaches!”

Bai Fengling understood.

“You mean, your Tang’s Pharmaceuticals is also researching the Sakuragi Hana virus?

Developing a new drug that might cure me?”

Tang Xiao declared loudly, “That’s right!

But as you know, any medicine must undergo rigorous clinical trials, which take a long time and involve complicated approvals, yet the current situation is urgent and can’t afford delays!”

Bai Fengling hummed in acknowledgment twice.

“I get it now, not only is the probability of success not high, there’s also the possibility it could hasten my death, is that what you mean?”

Tang Xiao replied, “That is true, but we have already conducted experiments on mice and managed to clear all traces of the Sakuragi Hana virus.

Since you have been diagnosed, I suggest you take a gamble; what if it works?”

“You don’t need to rush your response to me now.

You probably have a little over a day before your condition worsens, so you can take care of your affairs first, then get back to me!”

“But as a friendly advice, as time goes on, the virus will cause more severe damage to your body, and even if it’s successful, it might leave irreversible damage to your organs or appearance!”

“Most importantly, the drugs we’ve developed are extremely limited in quantity, and if you don’t wish to volunteer for the drug trial, please let me know as soon as possible, so I can offer the opportunity to other infected patients!”

Bai Fengling hastened to say, “Thank you, Xiao, I know you’re doing this for my sake, would two hours be alright?”

“That’s fine!

Whether you participate or not, reply to me by seven o’clock tonight!”

“I definitely will, thank you!”

After hanging up, Bai Fengling’s mind buzzed chaotically.

She had once fled the Xu Family of Liuli City with Wu Jie’s help, to establish herself in Tianyuan.

Anticipating a reliance on the Tang Family of Tianyuan, she had done her homework in advance.

How Tanglong Industrial Group was involved in various industries, the distribution of their business operations, and the number of subsidiaries they owned…

she knew it all too well.

Tang’s Pharmaceuticals was pretty powerful.

It was a medical company that Tang Long had acquired, merged, and expanded to treat Tang Xiao’s old injury, leading in domestic medical research.

Previously, countries swore up and down that there were specific antiviral medicines to prevent and treat the Sakuragi Hana virus.

And Tang’s Pharmaceuticals was the only designated pharmaceutical manufacturer in Tianyuan, a testament to its notable strength.

It was completely within their scope to research viruses and develop new drugs, and not unexpected at all.

However…

For enterprises and research institutions engaged in medical research, it was an incredibly rare opportunity for practical experience.

If successful, it would bring not only huge economic gains but also significant acclaim.

It wasn’t hard to imagine…

Tang Xiao, having approached her, would certainly reach out to other patients as well.

And if Tang’s Pharmaceuticals was now seeking volunteers for drug trials, what about other research institutions and medical companies?

They would surely follow suit!

More calls would come, some even visiting in person to persuade.

They would surely be passionate and sincere.

Since their death was certain, why not help the medical field with their dying breath?

Should the human trials succeed, it would benefit all of humanity!

There would definitely be no shortage of such persuasion.

Of course.

Bai Fengling also understood that, from a moral standpoint, it was indeed the case.

Since they were gonna die in agony soon anyway, volunteering for drug trials had benefits both publicly and privately.

So…

What should she do?

On one hand, there was certain death with absolutely no chance of survival, and unimaginable suffering.

On the other, the opportunity was slim, with a faint glimmer of hope, and slots were limited, first-come, first-served.

Bai Fengling needed less than half a second to make up her mind.

“Instead of waiting to die in agony, why not participate in the drug trial?

What if it’s successful?”

“Besides, Tang Xiao is honest and straightforward; she wouldn’t joke about this kind of thing!”

“Usually, a new drug that has succeeded in mouse trials shouldn’t cause problems when used on humans!”

“So…

there is still a chance of survival!”

Taking a deep breath.

Bai Fengling was about to reply to Tang Xiao, but then she thought about the high chances of failure.

After much thought.

She decided to arrange her affairs first, hastily making a call to the rehab center.

She didn’t have the courage to tell them she was about to die.

She had to hold back her grief, asking her father to cooperate with the detoxification earnestly.

She told him she was too busy with filming to visit or call, not to worry too much, and to avoid overthinking.

After talking to her father, Bai Fengling immediately contacted her company.

An outbreak at Tianyuan Film and Television City, with over a hundred people diagnosed with the new mutant virus, thousands urgently sent to medical centers for isolation…

This incident simply couldn’t be covered up, and the numerous missed calls and messages already indicated that the situation had blown up.

It had undoubtedly caused a super quake in the entertainment industry.

Her millions of fans must be extremely anxious.

Thus, Bai Fengling instructed her company’s lawyer.

After her death, all her commercial endorsements would inevitably be interrupted, an act of God, not a breach of contract.

Besides, with the company’s major shareholders being Tang Xiao and her husband, they would deal with the unfinished films and TV series.

Whether they continued to run the company or sold it off, her father Bai Huayun was the only beneficiary of all assets and interests.

If the company was sold, and after settling debts, everything remaining—from the houses and cars to the savings—would all go to her father.

After giving instructions to the lawyer, Bai Fengling thought it over and decided she should at least inform Wu Jie.

“I’m sorry, the user you are calling is currently out of service area, you…”

Bai Fengling frowned slightly.

What’s the situation?

In a bustling international metropolis like Tianyuan, with extremely high signal coverage,

where could Wu Jie have gone that his phone would be out of service?

In the chat group before, Fang Qingya teased Tang Xiao, asking if her Jie often worked at the mysterious department and rarely came home?

Could that not have been just a joke?

Bai Fengling opened the messaging app, ready to send Wu Jie a voice message.

But after pressing the record button, she didn’t speak and let go.

With a thousand thoughts swirling, she didn’t know where to start.

When she thought of Wu Jie…

The first thing that came to Bai Fengling’s mind was not the nickname ‘King of Tricksters’; instead, it was ‘benefactor’.

If it weren’t for Wu Jie’s help, she would have remained a puppet entertainer under the control of the Xu Family in Liuli City, accompanying others for meals and drinks, subject to enslavement…

Without his help, she never could have endorsed gods or shot an app commercial, nor could she have used live streaming to resolve her mother and brother’s moral kidnapping, all while increasing her own fame.

Without Wu Jie’s support, she couldn’t have succeeded in entrepreneurship, nor could she have gained both fame and fortune.

Even if it weren’t for Wu Jie’s tolerance.

The last time on the airplane, she would have already been ruined and despised after her arrogant and disrespectful remarks due to an inflated sense of self.

In short.

Every little detail evoked many emotions.

Having a benefactor to help along the way in life is definitely a great fortune.

For this reason, even to this day, Bai Fengling had no regrets, having said she could devote herself to Wu Jie any time.

Indeed, other than offering herself to him, Bai Fengling could find no better way to repay his kindness.

Only…

Before she could offer herself, she was about to become a widow.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Fengling pressed the button to speak:

“Jie, this might be my last time sending you a message.

I haven’t properly thanked you for your kindness, and now I have to say goodbye forever!”

“Unfortunate circumstances and a sorrowful fate have made me, perhaps more than other women, value fame and fortune excessively.

I admit I am very selfish!”

“I’ve suffered a lot, endured a lot of pain, and I’m so eager for success, thinking that only plenty of money can give me peace of mind!”

“In pursuing fame and fortune, I truly lost myself until now, when my life is soon to end, and I am filled with regret!”

“People need to experience certain things to grow up, and the life lesson that awakened me also allowed me to quickly understand myself!”

“There’s not much time left for me, I’ve had many shortcomings in the past, and I sincerely thank Jie for his help and tolerance…”

Bai Fengling’s voice was filled with sorrow and softness.

She had been strong as steel when making arrangements for after her death with her father and lawyer, but now…

tears streamed down her face.

After speaking sincerely for a while, Bai Fengling used her phone’s screen as a mirror, as if she was taking a selfie.

She straightened up her appearance and then asked the Anti-Chemical Soldiers to help her record a video.

“Fans and friends, this might be the last time you’ll see me!”

“Although life can throw unpredictable challenges and fortune can change overnight, it is truly hard to say goodbye.

I never thought that I would have to part from you all in life or death.”

“Who would have thought that working tirelessly filming and creating would meet with an outbreak of an epidemic!”

“I’m caught unprepared at the end of my life, about to face the most tragic and painful death.”

“I wanted to bring you all more and better works, but now…

I’m really sorry!”

“To repay society’s care and everyone’s support, and in a small way contribute to human society, I will become a drug trial volunteer for Tang’s Pharmaceuticals at Tianyuan.

Even though the chance of success is slim and I may die quicker and more painfully!”

“I know the virus can cause cruel and painful suffering, so I’m using this time while my appearance hasn’t changed, and my spirit is still good, to record this video and say farewell to you all.

Take care!

I sincerely wish everyone health and happiness!”

…

Bai Fengling choked up several times, unable to continue.

As a star, without the strong support of fans, how could she have reached this day?

Who would think a goodbye could turn out to be a farewell.

Goodbye…

never to meet again!

After recording, with a heart full of immense sorrow, Bai Fengling posted the video on her social circle.

She had no intention of considering what kind of public reaction this would trigger.

After posting the video, Bai Fengling sent Tang Xiao a text message, finding herself without the courage or energy to speak.

Grief-stricken to the point of being unable to breathe!

…

Security Bureau headquarters.

Public opinion had indeed already exploded, and the Internet monitoring center was frantic.

If the noon press conference broadcasted live all over the internet made many people feel distant from the situation,

Then the epidemic breaking out at Tianyuan Film and Television City had completely awakened the world.

This time.

The number of people was not only large, but they were also patients with a new variant of the virus.

What’s more important…

many filmmakers were diagnosed, including the big star Bai Fengling.

Nearly two hundred people were about to face a miserable and painful death, which had to cause a major shockwave in public opinion.

There was panic and fear, shock and sympathy, longing and prayers…

People were frantically venting their emotions online as if they’d gone mad.

The farewell video from Bai Fengling acted like the detonation of a massive nuclear bomb, almost crushing many internet platforms.

Sad farewells shocked the world.

The influence of a superstar was indeed too vast!

As people crazily commented and shared, the servers of many businesses were in jeopardy, on the brink of collapse.

At a critical moment.

Wu Jie ordered the construction of the national emergency data center and the activation of the strategic emergency fiber network…

Increasing computing power, improving bandwidth capacity, speeding up data exchange…

With powerful measures, he prevented this explosive public opinion from paralyzing the internet.

In the midst of the busyness, the red phone on the desk rang.

Could there be another major incident?

Wu Jie picked up the phone, and it was unexpectedly a call from Tan himself, sounding particularly excited.

“When did you develop this new drug?

What’s the success rate?”

In an urgent tone, he asked, “Can you, lad, create a miracle of life for me?”
