CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 201 IS THIS AN HONORABLE THING?

"No way."

Mu Enyu mustered her courage and ran over. "Sister An, let me go instead! How can boys be as meticulous as girls?"

Su Siming: "..."

Isn’t that wrong? With one after another rushing forward, doesn’t that make him look like a coward?

"Mu Enyu, come back here! Trying to show off, are you? If I really let you go, my second sister would eat me alive!"

Su Siming’s second sister was Mu Enyu’s sister-in-law and was particularly fond of Mu Enyu.

But what did Mu Enyu mean by that?

He had always taken extra care of her, yet she hadn’t stepped forward to protect him when Sister An had pointed at him. Instead, when Liang Chen stepped forward, she rushed to the front. Did that mean the person she wanted to protect wasn’t him, but Liang Chen?

So, was there something between these two?

Su Siming’s gaze on Mu Enyu suddenly became meaningful.

Liang Chen was also looking at Mu Enyu in surprise.

His understanding of Mu Enyu was limited to knowing she was from the second branch of the Mu Family and was dearly loved by everyone there.

His willingness to take care of her stemmed from the familial ties between the Mu and Su Families. Furthermore, Su Siming had been entrusted by his sister to look after this young woman at university.

As Su Siming’s friend, that was why he had a little more patience with Mu Enyu.

But he never expected this gentle-natured girl would have the courage to step forward and face unknown dangers.

Was it for Su Siming?

Then, should he not compete with her?

Just as he thought this, Su Siming pushed him away too.

"Both of you, calm down. I didn’t say I wouldn’t go! Besides, since Sister An chose me, that means she believes I’m the most suitable person for the job!"

"Right, Sister An?" Su Siming shot An Yan a meaningful look.

A smile played in An Yan’s eyes. She hadn’t expected that this step, casually added by her, would expose the dynamics among these three.

Mu Enyu liked Liang Chen. But Liang Chen thought she was the girl chosen for Su Siming by the Su Family’s second sister. "Hands off a friend’s wife," he had never harbored any intentions towards Mu Enyu. If this casually added procedure could help them recognize their feelings for each other sooner, that wouldn’t be a bad outcome.

At that moment, Ya Zhuo spoke up, "Professor An, let me do it! I have extensive clinical experience. If something unexpected happens, at least I won’t panic!"

Before Ya Zhuo could finish speaking, his assistant stood up. "Director Ya, your foot isn’t fully healed. If someone has to go, it should be me! My clinical experience is no less than yours!"

"I have experience too! Choose me!"

"Choose me!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere ignited, and everyone scrambled to volunteer.

It was as if facing this danger was a matter of great honor.

An Yan’s mood instantly brightened.

She really liked these energetic and positive people!

"Let’s go with Su Siming! He has the strongest resistance among you all!" An Yan said.

Su Siming immediately swelled with pride.

"Of course, I’ve practiced martial arts since I was a child..."

Then, recalling how he had been pinned to the ground by An Yan during their first meeting, he quickly changed his tune, "I’ve been exercising well since childhood; my resistance is top-notch!"

Mu Enyu sighed in relief when she heard An Yan say it wasn’t a big deal.

Then she remembered that when Su Siming was pushed forward, she hadn’t spoken up, but when Liang Chen was, she spoke up right away.

Could Liang Chen have noticed something?

No, Su Siming shouldn’t blame her, right?

The young woman, fraught with indecision, twisted her surgical gown, anxiously staring at An Yan.

Hoping Su Siming was really alright. Maybe that way, her conscience would feel a bit better.

Little did she know, her worried expression, in Liang Chen’s eyes, only confirmed her deep feelings for Su Siming.

An Yan was unaware of their inner turmoil.

If she knew, she might have remarked on how strange fate was. She had intended for them to clarify their feelings, but things only seemed to get murkier.

After An Yan administered several injections, a layer of white frost formed on Su Siming’s exposed neck and ears.

He shivered from the cold. "It feels like I’m suddenly in an ice cellar; I’m almost frozen stiff!"

"Hold on for a bit. Go take a shower first!"

About ten minutes later, Su Siming finished his shower, exiting through another door of the shower area and entering the cold room that An Yan had asked Li Tianyao to arrange in advance.

The temperature inside the room was set to negative forty degrees Celsius.

As soon as he entered, a timer on the wall started. After thirty seconds, the door on the other side opened.

Shivering, Su Siming walked out.

Immediately, staff covered him with a blanket, and two medical personnel helped rub his hands and arms to prevent frostbite from the extreme cold.

Once his body returned to normal, Su Siming excitedly rushed out and shouted loudly towards the operating room, "I’m fine, Sister Yan! I’m fine! You can start the injections for the others now!"

Everyone from the meeting room had gathered at the entrance to the surgical area.

Hearing this, they spontaneously broke into applause.

Everyone inside the operating room breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhilan burst into tears!

Just moments ago, she thought she might see Su Siming’s dead body. She had even been thinking that if Su Siming died, she would find a way to leave a suicide note. Besides, she couldn’t just let the bank have all her savings; she had to at least write down the passwords for her parents. Now, her earlier self seemed utterly laughable! Looking around, she saw it wasn’t just her; everyone’s eyes were glistening with tears!

An hour later, everyone successfully evacuated the operating room.

The police quickly cordoned off the surgical area.

The group was surprised to learn that Professor Tian Zhongren was the one who had poisoned them.

Professor Song and the others were temporarily isolated by the police in the meeting room, their communication devices confiscated.

After the Tian Zhongren incident, they all had to undergo investigation.

As for Tian Zhongren, he enjoyed the singular honor of being personally interrogated by Li Tianyao!

And this was happening right outside the operating room he had been so desperate to enter.

Lu Feng pressed Tian Zhongren’s face against the door of the operating room. "Miss, could you please wake him up?"

"Certainly!"

An Yan administered an injection, and Tian Zhongren woke up. The first thing he saw through the glass window in the door was the operating room.

It was completely empty inside.

A sense of dread surged within him.

"Speak! Who is your superior?"

"I don’t have a superior! I was forced to make the poison—"

CRACK!

Lu Feng kicked, breaking one of Tian Zhongren’s leg bones. "I’m asking what level operative you are! What are your objectives for infiltrating this country?"

Tian Zhongren shook his head. "I’m not! I’m a genuine citizen of Country Z!"

Lu Feng laughed. "It seems you’re eager to enter the operating room, then!"

Tian Zhongren shuddered, extreme panic gripping him.

The water used to wash the dissolved capsule off his body had left his skin teeming with a high concentration of bacteria. If he were taken inside...

But he knew he had no way out! From the moment he arrived, he had been prepared to sacrifice himself for the Empire; otherwise, he wouldn’t have carried bombs and poison on his person.

"Push him in!" Li Tianyao commanded coldly. "Remember to record it. I want to live-stream his final moments to Country R. Let them come seeking revenge!"

Just as Lu Feng was about to act, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"Wait a second!"
