Chapter 101: Chapter 98: Shock in the Medical CommunityOutside the research institute, two rows of soldiers carrying rifles escorted Ye Fan and Zhang Lu, their expressions solemn.

    "Salute!!" Company Commander Gao led the charge, his voice loud and powerful.

    The soldiers saluted in unison, reverently gazing at the five-starred red flag, all of them looking at one person. Sear?h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The one receiving all the attention was not Ye Fan, but Zhang Lu.

    For the soldiers, it was under Zhang Lu’s leadership that they achieved extraordinary accomplishments. As for what role Ye Fan played in it, they did not know. Only Company Commander Gao looked at Ye Fan with a serious expression.

    Ye Fan looked calm and got into the car by himself.

    Zhang Lu gave a bitter salute and instructed, "Company Commander Gao, I’ll leave the remaining aftermath to you."

    "Yes!" Company Commander Gao responded firmly and forcefully.

    Zhang Lu drove away, with the soldiers watching in the direction the car departed, gazing intently for a long time.

    Inside the research institute, the bodies of five martyrs lay neatly.

    According to the information provided by K12, Li Ru’s tragic corpse was found in a stagnant pond outside the research institute.

    Inside the car, Zhang Lu drove, her expression quite bitter. She sighed helplessly, "You’ve made me a hero once again. In this mission, I did nothing, yet I reaped such a huge benefit."

    Her heart was troubled, her expression gloomy; everything in the research institute’s arrangements was Ye Fan’s credit, but now this credit would fall on her shoulders. Compared to claiming the merit of capturing the Snow Mastiff alive, the merits of killing Horikawa Sei and capturing K12 were far greater, it made her want to spit blood. Claiming undeserved credit was blatant humiliation for a soldier.

    Ye Fan’s identity had to be kept secret; there was no other choice. What could Zhang Lu do?

    She could only accept the humiliation and take the credit, then be enthusiastically praised by her superiors before being left to feel sad alone.

    "I’ll help you from the shadows, as agreed. If your soldierly dignity and self-respect make you unwilling to claim credit again, don’t ask me for help in the future." Ye Fan calmly glanced at Zhang Lu and then emphasized, "However, if in business you can help Mengyao, a trade can be made."

    "Okay, okay, okay." Zhang Lu said ’okay’ three times in a joking resignation and then laughed helplessly, "Fine, we’ll say our mutual assistance is a trade. That way, I’ll feel better, otherwise, you’ll ’humiliate’ me to death sooner or later."

    "Take it easy, you help Mengyao, I help you, it’s only right, don’t overthink it." Ye Fan comforted her.

    "Oh, I wonder what fortune Chu Mengyao had in a past life to have you care for and protect her so intently." Zhang Lu sighed sourly; Ye Fan didn’t spare a glance at her—a beauty—while for Chu Mengyao he was all-heartedly dedicated, which made her inevitably jealous.

    Ye Fan gave her a meaningful look without speaking.

    Zhang Lu secretly vowed to ask Ye Fan for help less in the future. Whenever possible, she would help Chu Mengyao instead, making Ye Fan owe her a favor he couldn’t repay. That was her plan, but affairs did not go as she wished. Not long after, during the interrogation of K12, K12 recalled the story of her identity as Qin Xue and learned about her parents’ situation. The enormous guilt from her atrocities split her personality. During an examination at a mental hospital, K12 escaped, forcing Zhang Lu to reach out to Ye Fan for help.

    As Ye Fan rushed to the villa, the city’s First Hospital was holding an emergency meeting overnight.

    The prestigious Director Han Guoqing personally convened the meeting. He was an authoritative expert in the medical field but now faced something unbelievable that completely shocked him.

    Seated to his left and right were two people, Gao Mingyuan and Lu Xiangxiang.

    These two were Han Guoqing’s prized students, with significant achievements in medical skills.

    In the conference room sat various medical professors, including wise, gray-haired elders, stern women, and vibrant young talents. These individuals were all leading figures in domestic medicine, wielding significant influence in their respective fields. In some sense, they were the experts and authorities.

    The cause of this matter started with Xu Li. After taking the medicine prescribed by Ye Fan, Xu Li went to a hospital for a check-up—not the city’s First Hospital, but a small hospital. The results astonished Xu Li; her illness was cured. Even a perplexing ailment for the medical field was resolved just like that. Xu Li was naturally overjoyed.

    Actually, Xu Li had sensed there were no issues with her body anymore, and for insurance, she visited a hospital.

    The examining doctor noted something unusual: a peculiar substance was found in Xu Li’s blood. This substance had no traces of medication but possessed miraculous properties capable of repairing the diseased cells in the body.

    The doctor was intrigued. Through detailed experiments, he discovered that the chemical structure of this substance was extremely unique. Amongst the current chemical structures in the drug database, he had never seen such a substance. It left him astounded.

    This was a significant discovery in the medical world; how could the doctor not be excited?

    The doctor quickly called Gao Mingyuan. Gao Mingyuan was a recognized authority, and the doctor wanted to gauge his opinion, hoping to collaborate with Gao Mingyuan to study this substance. Once they understood its composition and properties, winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine seemed assured. The doctor’s medical expertise alone wasn’t sufficient; he needed Gao Mingyuan to collaborate.

    Receiving the doctor’s call, Gao Mingyuan was somewhat dismissive and scoffed at the doctor’s words. However, upon learning the matter was related to Xu Li and that her illness had vanished, he became interested.

    Gao Mingyuan was shocked; he remembered Ye Fan, the man who boastfully claimed he could cure Xu Li.

    Gao Mingyuan realized this was a big deal, one that could overturn established medical understanding, and he urgently contacted his mentor.

    At Han Guoqing’s call, to avoid a mistake in the doctor’s judgment, a series of experts were invited to conduct detailed experiments on Xu Li’s remaining blood. After tests and analysis, a definite conclusion was reached.

    Indeed, Xu Li’s blood contained a substance that could eliminate the malignant cells.

    Xu Li’s late-stage stomach cancer symptoms had vanished.

    Han Guoqing and others analyzed this substance. Although its chemical formula wasn’t fully understood, they immediately named it ’Stomach Cancer Recovery Essence.’

    Stomach Cancer Recovery Essence was a miraculous substance that could revolutionize the medical world, offering unimaginable help.

    If Huaxia mastered this substance, it wouldn’t just mean curing many people; it would be a medical breakthrough that could shock the entire world.
