780: Chapter 780: Lashing Out at Reporters!

Risking Life to Test Drugs!

What a fierce approach!

In the blink of an eye,

numerous journalists and cameramen from many news outlets had surrounded Wu Jie, together with his car.

With the epidemic so severe, they still came to cover the news.

These media people, in their pursuit of hot topics and viewers’ attention, were truly going all out.

“Mr.

Wu, the internet is rife with wild rumors claiming that you’re the mastermind behind the entire virus crisis.

What’s your take on this?”

“Is the personal enmity between you and Yuan Shikui the spark that triggered this crisis?

Is this slander, or is there truth to it?”

“It’s said you possess god-like cyber skills; in the Zhuzhou SAM project’s technical competition, did you defeat the three titans?”

“Did you have a personal vendetta with Muto Sami?

There’s a claim that her last words were about destroying the world – all because of you!”

“What’s your view on the current virus crisis?

Do you think Tang’s Pharmaceuticals’ new drug can cure Bai Fengling?”

“Bai Fengling once performed at your wedding and is the spokesperson for your software.

Would you stop at nothing to save her?”

…

Questions of all sorts kept coming incessantly.

It was Wu Jie’s first time being completely encircled by so many reporters, and he indeed felt like a big star.

Of course, the reporters were all wearing masks, so their expressions were indiscernible.

But what could be certain was…

The rumors online were rife, and definitely someone had orchestrated them deliberately.

The conflict with Yuan Shikui, the massive losses of Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co., the Zhuzhou SAM project competition, the grudge with Muto Sami…

Many details were indeed true, yet not entirely complete.

For instance, the conflict escalation with Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate was because Muto Sami and her sister attempted to kidnap Tang Xiao to extort Wu Jie.

After losing many martial artists, the two sisters nearly met their deaths on the Brune Cruise.

Lack of detail – was it because the person who posted the initial exposé didn’t know enough?

Or did they know everything but deliberately chose to omit certain things?

But right now…

With the reporters’ ‘pressing questions,’ Wu Jie didn’t have extra time to ponder who exactly this person was.

Or whether it was the Northern Fox Organization, or Rosdelle’s Auxiliary Business Association?

Such an abrupt encirclement.

It startled Zheng, who was on his way to provide backup.

He immediately led numerous special agents and swiftly dashed over.

However…

Wu Jie raised his hand to signify they should not come over yet.

As he scanned the surrounding crowd, the many reporters immediately fell silent, each of them filled with curiosity and astonishment, intently gazing at Wu Jie.

“I do have some research in the field of network technology.

The Godshot APP that everyone uses, the software conversion tool sold to Microsoft for a three-year usage right, are all evidence of my work, and I make no attempt to hide it!”

“But as for the case of Yuan Shikui’s Tianyuan He Ying Credit, it’s been thoroughly investigated—it was severe internal corruption on their part, and it doesn’t have much to do with me.

In any case, Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate should not develop a virus that harms humanity!”

“And Muto Sami had no right to release the virus and bring disaster to humanity.

Many people don’t blame Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate but instead lay the blame on me as the principal offender—which frankly is a display of exasperating stupidity!”

“By this logic, constipation would be blamed on the Earth’s insufficient gravity, or being hungry with nothing to eat blamed on the lack of pies falling from the sky, or not having money to spend blamed on others not dropping it?

If you lack intelligence, don’t go showing off your lower limits!”

“And you reporters should pay more attention to the progression of the epidemic, promote how to contain the spread of the infection, and avoid sensationalism and unsubstantiated claims just to attract attention.

Don’t be so gullible to believe idle keyboard warriors and trolls profusely.

Where has the intelligence gone?”

“As for Bai Fengling, she is both my business partner and a friend with whom I have a good relationship.

If possible, I naturally hope to cure her.

As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I will never give up!”

“Finally, a word of advice to certain individuals: if you want to vent your resentment, go to Yincheng and find the Muto Conglomerate!

If you want to show off your heroism, then come out and help eliminate the virus crisis.

Don’t be played for fools by those with ulterior motives, happily believing you’re acting as heroes of justice!”

Having said that, Wu Jie squeezed through the crowd of reporters and headed toward the medical center.

Many reporters were somewhat dazed.

What does he mean?

Is Wu Jie saying that keyboard warriors are dim-witted and implying that we reporters are brain-dead?

Damn!

This gigolo’s courage has grown fat!

To actually show such disregard for the dignity of the news media, isn’t he afraid of being smeared?

Some reporters snapped out of it and just wanted to follow him, but they had to stop in their tracks.

Because Zheng hurried over and the special service agents immediately surrounded Wu Jie for protection.

Loaded with guns, who would dare to chase after him?

“Why waste words with those reporters?

Anyone who believes the nonsense online is a fool!”

“These gossip reporters are typical of having nothing better to do.

They just ride the wave of whatever is trending on the internet!”

Zheng led Wu Jie into the medical center’s courtyard.

After getting in the car and closing the door, Tang Xiao sat at the office desk with a mask on, engrossed in her smartphone.

On the desk, there were two insulated medical containers with the logo of Tang’s Pharmaceuticals.

Noticing someone coming in, Tang Xiao immediately looked up and turned her head.

Seeing it was Wu Jie, she immediately said,

“The Detox Pills you stored at the research institute, I’ve brought them all!”

Full of curiosity, Zheng asked,

“These Detox Pills of yours… Have they really been successful in trials on mice?”

Wu Jie patted Zheng on the shoulder, sat down, and smiled,

“If they hadn’t been successful, would I dare bring them here to prepare for human clinical trials?”

Zheng nodded with a mix of belief and doubt, “Indeed, if they can revive mice, perhaps there’s a chance they can cure humans too!”

“However… with just these two small boxes, will that be enough?!”

Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly, “Of course not, which is why the word has been sent to find no more than four more volunteers.

The medicine is only enough for twenty people!”

Zheng looked at the leader of the Anti-Chemical Soldiers, then let out a gloomy sigh, his eyes filled with helplessness.

The mutant virus was too potent; there was an unverified cure to try, but its quantity was very limited.

With over two hundred patients, the new drug was only enough for twenty to try.

What did this mean?

It meant that even if the new drug was successful, only those twenty could be saved.

The other hundred plus people… would still be unable to escape their grim fate.

The commander immediately used the tactical control console and the tactical radio communication equipment to inform the Anti-Chemical Soldiers accompanying the patients.

“Just four!

Only four more!”

“The opportunity is rare, first come, first served.

There’s that tiny hope of survival, let them decide within five minutes!”

Not long after hanging up the phone, reports quickly came in.

“Report, bed 33 agrees!”

“Report, bed 47 agrees!”

…

One report after another came in rapid succession.

The company commander quickly picked up the handset and ordered, “Cut it off at bed 98, no more reports count, no need to seek more volunteers for the drug trial, just make sure to take good care of them!”

His voice was agitated yet sorrowful.

Who wouldn’t want everyone to be saved?

The problem is…

there is only so much of the experimental new drug.

Shortly after,

The company commander brought over the list that had just been printed.

Bai Fengling, who signed up first, naturally ranked at the top.

If they could cure her, obviously, the impact would be enormous, it would calm public worry and fear, reducing the impact on public opinion.

“If everything looks good, then I’ll order to take them to a separate floor, for isolated observation and treatment!”

After glancing at Wu Jie, Tang Xiao quickly signed the list.

Zheng didn’t hesitate either, rapidly signing his name.

“Zheng, you have people bring the medicine in, three pills per person, dissolved into glucose intravenous fluid!” Wu Jie reminded before signing.

Zheng nodded repeatedly and immediately picked up the medicine box off the vehicle.

This drug trial was a matter of exceptional procedures!

If they had to follow regular processes one step at a time, with consecutive approval from every department, the patients would have long been dead.

Therefore, Tan himself ordered, under the name of the Security Bureau, to lead this special drug trial.

If it’s something from the Security Bureau, then it’s classified.

Even if other departments find out, they have no right to interfere.

Moreover, human lives are at stake.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and since the patients volunteered, who would dare make irresponsible remarks?

With the list in hand, the company commander immediately began issuing orders.

All the patients whose names were called were to be taken from their original ward to a new one.

For the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of the treatment, the medical center had already allocated a group of medical personnel and equipment to closely monitor the patients’ reactions after taking the medicine.

Speed is of the essence in military operations!

Every minute is a race against the Reaper!

Shorty after.

On the liquid crystal display screen opposite the conference table, twenty matrix spliced screens appeared.

It was the surveillance footage from twenty wards, brought together through splicing on the display.

One could see that all the volunteer patients, including Bai Fengling, showed no physical abnormalities yet, but they were in low spirits.

They quickly lay down on the hospital beds and were secured with restraints.

The Sakuragi Hana virus was already cruel, and the drug trial might induce early symptoms, inflicting extreme agony.

Thus, it was necessary to secure them to prevent struggling and writhing in unbearable pain and falling off the beds.

All had volunteered for the drug trial, appearing cooperative and calm.

They had already said their goodbyes.

Nearly each of them had already considered themselves dead, calm and compliant.

They complied as the medical staff intubated them, placed patches, and connected lines, using various medical devices to monitor their conditions in real-time.

“We don’t need to watch so many people, just watch Bai Fengling,” Tang Xiao reminded.

The Anti-Chemical Soldier at the command control desk immediately operated the console, making the screen display only the surveillance footage from one ward.

Bai Fengling lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling like a vegetative person, motionless.

The screen was so clear that one could see the medical device next to her, showing her body’s troubling condition.

Her heartbeat and heart rate were extraordinarily chaotic, and her temperature was very high — this was not the state you’d expect from a common cold or fever.

At this moment, the doctor began the inquiry process:

“Ms.

Bai Fengling, you have been diagnosed with the secondary mutated Sakuragi Hana virus, with no marketed drugs for treatment.

Do you volunteer to participate in Tianyuan Tang’s Pharmaceuticals’ clinical trial of the Detox Pill?”

“I volunteer!”

…

“The new drug has not undergone clinical trials and may have no effect or could potentially worsen your condition, causing you more pain.

Moreover, if the trial is successful, you must keep this matter strictly confidential.

Are you clear on this?”

“I understand it clearly!”

…

“Should your condition deteriorate rapidly and you endure extraordinary pain and torture, do you authorize me to end the drug trial and allow you to pass away painlessly?”

“I am willing!”

…

“Do you have any other matters to address?”

“No!

I am ready for the drug trial!”

…

After the routine inquiry, the doctor, under full video recording, had Bai Fengling sign and seal her consent.

Three Detox Pills were taken out and dissolved into the intravenous glucose injection fluid.

The medication gradually turned a glowing green color, which looked so full of life and vibrancy that it instilled hope in those who saw it.

“Record this!

At 18:24, the patient Bai Fengling voluntarily participated in the drug trial, fully aware of the relevant regulations and requirements, now receiving her first injection of the drug!”

Bai Fengling closed her eyes peacefully, waiting in silence, without sadness or joy, without panic or disorder.

At this point, she could either be saved by the new drug or die a peaceful death.

There was nothing left for her to worry about.

It was better than waiting for the disease to worsen, leading to a miserable and painful end.

“Injection of the drug is complete, now entering the static observation period!”

The doctor removed the syringe, wiped the spot with a medical cotton swab, then retreated to one side, quietly observing.

At this moment, many people waited in silence.

Hoping for a miracle of life to occur, waiting for the Reaper to depart.

Inside the command vehicle.

Everyone watched the screen with intense concentration.

After a while, Wu Jie suddenly turned his head and yelled at the company commander:

“Quickly release the restraints, hurry!!”

…
