Chapter 447-448

Chapter 447: I Won’t Die, and I Won’t Let You Die! 　 When Yun Xi read this aloud, Zhao Yumo’s legs grew weak with terror. Fortunately, she hadn’t drunk any of the water in the cup or touched her lips to the cup. She’d just put on an act of pouring water into the cup. She couldn’t imagine what the consequences would have been if she’d actually contracted this type of virus. “Don’t be nervous. Su Hang, you can give her a blood test. I called Young Marshal Mu and asked him to bring some clothes over. Now, all the things we’ve touched have to be disinfected, just in case.” Su Hang nodded. “Okay.” “Yumo, don’t be nervous. Although this virus is transmitted easily enough, it also requires a living environment and certain conditions to infect people. You should wait for your examination before we worry. Let’s assume that nothing is wrong.” “Yun Xi, what about you? You...” Moving farther away from the experiment table, Zhao Yumo looked at her worriedly. “You have to be careful, this is a virus.” 　 　 “I’m a medical student, so I know about this sort of thing much better than you do. I know how to protect myself against it, so don’t worry. Go on in there quickly now and have your blood test.” After receiving Yun Xi’s call, Mu Feichi and Jiang Chenghuan rushed over at lightning speed. A new type of virus had appeared in Jingdu. No one dared to take it lightly. Waiting for Mu Feichi and Jiang Chenghuan to arrive, Yun Xi stood by the door of the laboratory while thinking about how to deal with the virus and deciding to research antiviral drugs. If someone had created this virus in a laboratory, it meant that person wanted to use this virus for some malicious purpose. Once people got infected with the virus, any newly researched medicines would quickly sell out. This wasn’t a good thing. Strictly speaking, it was already a threat to society. Carrying two large boxes in their hands, Mu Feichi and Jiang Chenghuan arrived. In addition to protective clothing, there was some disinfection equipment inside the boxes. “You two, change into protective clothing and stand outside. Just in case, you two don’t want to take any chances.” “Stop talking nonsense. How about you? How about Su Hang?” Not caring whether he was outside or not, Mu Feichi opened the door and pulled Yun Xi outside. Fearing that something might happen to her, he couldn’t calm down as soon as he’d heard the word virus. 　 　 A few days ago, he’d been worried that she would fall into a trap, but now she’d actually encountered a virus before she’d even run into a trap. When he discovered who the mastermind behind this plot was, he would make certain that the evil person suffered a fate worse than death. “I’m okay. Su Hang took Yumo to get a blood test. I haven’t contracted the virus, so don’t worry.” Yun Xi pushed off his hand that was randomly inspecting her. “Virus infections require certain conditions and environments. This time, because Yumo’s cup had heated up very hot, most of the virus was burned to death, and the few that remained shouldn’t be enough to cause infection.” “You can’t underestimate a virus.” Mu Feichi dragged her to go find Su Hang. He was acting like a raving madman. Yun Xi was dumbfounded and amused by his anxious reaction. “Young Marshal Mu, are you afraid that I will also infect you?” “I’m not even afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of such a trivial thing?” He paused, then turned to look at the little girl beside him. His eyes were determined and arrogant as if what he was going to say was like taking an oath. “I won’t die, and I won’t let you die. Even if you’re infected, we will suffer together.” “Stop fussing, who said anyone is going to die.” Feeling a bit speechless, Su Hang glanced at the two people displaying PDA outside. “With me here, none of you will die. Isn’t it just a virus? I don’t believe it can’t be overcome.” Yun Xi was amused by Su Hang’s uncharacteristic display of toughness. “That’s right! There’s also Dr. Su here. He is so capable, and he definitely won’t let us all suffer.” Fearing that Mu Feichi was so worried that he would lose his rationality and do something reckless, Yun Xi stood on her tiptoes and rubbed his head as she quietly soothed him. “Don’t worry. I also study medicine, so I won’t mess around without using the most basic common sense.” **** Chapter 448: Woman He Loved Wasn’t a Pushover ... After Su Hang checked, disinfected, and confirmed that there was no infection among them, Mu Feichi finally breathed a sigh of relief. “This virus was probably specially researched and created. I just checked the ingredients, and they are the same as those in the batch that man had.” Yun Xi turned to look at Mu Feichi and said, “If this virus also came from him, then you probably need to investigate this matter.” The emergence of any new virus was a potential threat to the Mu family. Those who released this sort of stuff should go to h*ll. 　 　 “I’ve already sent people to investigate. Since it happened at such a coincidental time, they will be checked first. Then I’m going to check the Zhao family.” “The Zhao family?” Yun Xi only then realized that while she had been guarding against Li Sinuo, she’d forgotten about the Zhao family. “You forgot? It’s only a few months before her coming-of-age ceremony. If the Zhao family wants to get rid of the first-in-line heir at this time, it wouldn’t be surprising.” As soon as she heard that the culprit might be a member of the Zhao family, Zhao Yumo’s facial expression suddenly changed, and a gloomy, murderous look appeared on her face. “D*mn! Who is the desperate guy who would dare to use this sort of thing against me? If I find him I won’t let him off the hook!” Thinking that it might be her outlandish uncle or aunt, Zhao Yumo’s heart sank. She didn’t dare imagine what the consequences would have been if she had really been infected with the virus. Just imagining how her life would be worse than death gave her the chills. Jiang Chenghuan frowned and glanced at her, then stretched out his hand to grab hold of her collar and pull her back. “Calm down, the first and most important thing now is to find out who made the move, lest the other party sees that you didn’t fall for it and try again. The next time, you might not be able to guard against it.” Yun Xi glanced at Zhao Yumo and felt a little worried. “You shouldn’t come to class for the time being. If you’re infected with this virus, you’ll simply have a fever, so just pretend to be sick.” 　 　 “What about you?” Zhao Yumo looked at Yun Xi, also with worry. “Your situation is no better than mine. If Li Sinuo is the culprit, since she had the guts to harm me, she will try to harm you again.” “Don’t worry, if it’s Li Sinuo, she’s not going to let me die so easily. Think about it! Why didn’t she use the virus against me? Obviously, she doesn’t want me to die yet.” Due to the grudge between her and Li Sinuo, the fact that Li Sinuo hadn’t made a vicious move against her yet was surprising. If it was because of the man who was behind her, that could be very interesting. Thinking about this, she turned to look at the sullen man beside her. Her sly, clever eyes gleamed brightly. “Young Marshal Mu...why don’t we tempt the snake out of his cave?” Mu Feichi cocked his head and looked at her. There was an unfathomable, mysterious look in his eyes, as if he could easily see through her calculating thoughts at a single glance. “How do you want to lure the snake out of his hole? Use yourself as bait to fish him out?” “I’m not stupid, so I definitely won’t use myself as bait. Especially since this new type of virus is also involved. Before an effective antidote is developed, I definitely won’t take that risk since I don’t want to die.” The prerequisite for taking such a risk was that she must have full certainty before making a move. “Then what do you want to do?” “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...” Yun Xi smiled, but the smile on her delicate face was in stark contrast to the expression in her eyes, which was cold and piercing. Mu Feichi narrowed his eyes. It was rare to see her so aggressive, and it was actually quite adorable and alluring. Sure enough, the woman he loved wasn’t a pushover who could be easily bullied. “Before finding out the source of the virus, you can’t do it. You just obediently wait for the data.” Yun Xi nodded. “Okay, but you have to be more careful yourself. Don’t startle the snake, otherwise, I won’t be able to keep up the act.” Mu Feichi patted her cheek in mock anger and said with a doting expression, “The people who work for me aren’t that useless!”
