Chapter 576: Chapter 574 Don’t be angry_1

Xia Ningxing followed up.

The other party had arranged a six-person room for her.

There was no helping it, as there were simply too many experts, and not enough rooms, so everyone was sharing with several others.

"Dr. Xia, sorry for the inconvenience," the person said apologetically.

"It’s nothing," Xia Ningxing shook her head.

At times like these, being infection-free was already a stroke of luck, let alone quibbling over this and that.

The person smiled, "Alright, once you’ve settled in, head to the Number One Laboratory."

"Okay," Xia Ningxing replied.

After she briefly tidied up the bedding, she got ready to head to the Number One Laboratory.

As soon as she left, she saw many experts walking into the dormitory.

"I’m totally exhausted, I haven’t closed my eyes for nearly a day and a night, but now I can finally get some sleep."

"This Golden Dagger Poison is so complicated, I can’t even analyze the components inside."

The expert group had temporarily named the poison—Golden Dagger Poison.

"Sigh, who knows when this will end!"

"I heard the death toll just yesterday..."

"It’s terrifying, it’s enough to drive you to despair!"

"Isn’t it just!"

Facing the helpless disease, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

"Ah! A newcomer!"

At that moment, someone noticed Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing immediately revealed an awkward yet polite smile.

"Hey, girl, you look so much like that big star Xia Ningxing on TV, wait, no, I can’t believe it, you are Xia Ningxing!" exclaimed the person in shock.

Others also stared at Xia Ningxing, scanning her up and down.

"For real?" some couldn’t help but express their skepticism.

Under everyone’s varied gazes, Xia Ningxing nodded, "Hello, I am Xia Ningxing, and I will be doing research work with everyone from now on."

She greeted them politely.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but exchange glances with each other, puzzled.

A celebrity coming to study the Golden Dagger Poison,

Using this for publicity was really shameless.

So as soon as Xia Ningxing left, everyone immediately began a frenzied discussion—

"Has she gone mad, letting a celebrity come here?"

"Just an actress, what does she know about medicine, it’s ridiculous!"

"This is just for hype! Absolutely shameless!"

"I seriously doubt she can even light an alcohol lamp."

"You guys are mistaken, Baby Xing is actually in traditional medicine." Finally, someone couldn’t hold back and spoke a word of fairness, "And if her medical skills weren’t good, how could she possibly have come here!"

"Who knows if she used some sleazy tactics."

"Exactly! And besides, as for traditional medicine, apart from those born with extraordinary talent in the Traditional Medicine Family, others can’t thoroughly learn it without half a lifetime of study. How old is Xia Ningxing, twenty-one or twenty-two? How many years could she have studied?"

Everyone talked over one another, stubbornly believing she was here for publicity, for a comeback.

Many people online also thought this way, and they cursed Xia Ningxing vehemently.

The old residence and the people from the Xia family were nearly driven to their wits’ end by anger.

Xia Ningxing was clearly contributing for everyone’s sake, yet what were they saying!

As the subject of the rumors, Xia Ningxing naturally heard about these things, but she didn’t pay attention and simply ignored them.

At such a time, she really didn’t know where these people got the energy to gossip.

Anyway, she didn’t have the time as she needed to continue researching the medicinal formula.

Number One Laboratory was part of the Traditional Medicine department, brimming with a variety of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, both precious and common.

However, due to Star Shine Traditional Medicine’s low status, aside from the young Xia Ningxing, the other five who managed to become senior traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were all gray-haired elders.

At first, they also held reservations about Xia Ningxing, thinking that such a young girl couldn’t possibly know many herbs.

But they were quickly proven wrong.

Her expertise in pharmacology was something not even the five of them could match combined.

So their contempt quickly turned to astonishment.

But what was even more astonishing came later.

Because!

In the following days and nights of relentless research, Xia Ningxing created a new formula using traditional Chinese herbs that could slow down the onset of the patients’ condition.

In simple terms, patients poisoned with Golden Dagger Poison would die within a week, but if they drank the medicine from this formula, they could hold on for at least a month.

Though such a life was akin to living death, only those who are alive could hope for a cure, right?

And now that a medicine that could slow down the condition had emerged, how far could the actual antidote be?

Soon, this news spread throughout the entire Star Shine.

Seeing that there was finally a glimmer of hope for a solution, the people erupted in excitement, and Xia Ningxing’s name became etched in their minds.

Especially Xia Ningxing’s fans, who caused an uproar on the internet—

"Ah! My Baby Xing is really too amazing!"

"Who else dares to look down on my Baby Xing as just an actor!"

"Xia Ningxing is really too awesome!"

Because Xia Ningxing had really pushed herself too hard, suffering severe physical exhaustion, she actually fainted in front of the laboratory bench.

"My God! Doctor Xia!" Now that Xia Ningxing was regarded as a national treasure by the health department, her fainting spell nearly scared everyone to death.

Fortunately, it was nothing serious, just a temporary fainting due to excessive fatigue. With good food, drink, and a couple of days’ rest, she would recover.

The leadership had wanted her to rest in the health building, but as soon as the Lu Family heard the news, they insisted on taking Xia Ningxing home to care for her for a couple of days.

When Xia Ningxing was brought back, she was still unconscious.

By the time they arrived home and after the poison was neutralized, Lu Tingli carried her horizontally into the bedroom.

"Yah yah!" The little one who was in the arms of Nanny Wu lit up with excitement at the sight of his mother, beginning to call out energetically.

"Shut up!" Lu Tingli, afraid that he would disturb Xia Ningxing, immediately shot a sharp glare at him.

The little one trembled with fear, shrinking like a quail, not daring to call out again, but his eyes remained fixed on the direction where Xia Ningxing was.

Xia Ningxing only woke up after about fifteen or sixteen hours of sleep, which was telling of how much rest she had been lacking.

When she opened her eyes, she met Lu Tingli’s eyes, filled with both anger and concern.

Xia Ningxing, thinking of how she hadn’t slept for days and nights in order to research the solution as quickly as possible, immediately felt guilty and averted her gaze, no longer daring to meet his eyes.

"Feeling guilty now?" Lu Tingli scoffed coldly.

Xia Ningxing touched her nose, looking dejected.

Then, she stretched out her hand, which was visibly thinner than before, and took his large hand: "Alright, don’t be angry, I was wrong."

How could Lu Tingli resist this attack? His expression instantly softened, but his tone was still somewhat fierce: "Will you still push yourself this hard in the future?"
