“You’re only targeting some corporations with state approval for research. There are also some medical professionals who cooperate on their own in the city. What’s more, these people’s skills are not inferior to the people from the National Medical Department at all.”
Zhou Xuan turned around and smiled. “My friend is one of them. I believe that as long as I can delay for a week, she will definitely succeed.”
Although the governor was clearly still puzzled, he still nodded. “Someone who can make you have so much trust shouldn’t be an ordinary person, right?”
“Governor, you’re wrong. Actually, everyone is very ordinary. We’re just doing what we can for the Federation’s Central City.”
After saying that, Zhou Xuan turned his head back and faced the audience again. “1 know everyone will definitely doubt my words. As for whether what I said is true or not, we’ll know the outcome in a week.”
At this moment, the atmosphere at the event location suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Clearly, many people began to think about whether to believe Zhou Xuan’s words.
“President Zhou, I’ve lived in the Federation’s Central City for so many years. I believe in your words and character. Since you said that the antidote can be produced in a week, I’ll believe you.”
Someone below the stage shouted, “But let me say the ugly words first. If we don’t see the antidote in a week, don’t blame us for holding such an event again. At that time, there will inevitably be conflict and even casualties.”
“No problem. Thank you for trusting me. Since 1 can say such things, it proves that I have the confidence.”
Zhou Xuan’s words and eyes were filled with determination. This was all because of his unconditional trust in Shan Yue. “So everyone can go back first today. It’s not safe outside. Wait patiently at home for news. I’ve also communicated with the governor. He won’t hold everyone responsible.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone slowly began to accept Zhou Xuan’s words. The people outside also retreated.
The airport, which had been surrounded a second ago, returned to an empty state not long after.
Although Shan Yue did not go to the event location, she had seen everything that had happened at the airport.
Shan Yue knew very well that Zhou Xuan was taking a risk. He did not tell people that she was the one who developed the antidote. If he did not produce the antidote after a week, everyone would blame it on him, not her.
It was precisely because Zhou Xuan wanted to help her stall for time and stabilize the emotions of the people present to prevent the riot from happening that he made this move and exposed himself to the final storm.
The more this was the case, the more Shan Yue had to speed up the progress of the antidote research. She could not ruin Zhou Xuan’s reputation because of her.
After confirming her goal, Shan Yue stopped thinking about it. She threw away all useless thoughts and focused all her attention on the concoction of the medicine, striving to develop the target medicine within a week.
It was not only Shan Yue. Lang Nan, who was sitting in the office, could naturally see such important news. At first, there was a puzzled expression on his face, but he quickly figured out the reason.
“All Yong, bring someone to the Shan Corporation to investigate immediately. You must confirm every room and find the location of the laboratory.”
Lang Nan’s tone was very unyielding, and there was obvious urgency in it. “We can’t let Shan Yue develop the antidote before me. If that happens, she might use this opportunity to do something.”
“Are we going to search the Shan Corporation?”
Although All Yong would do as he was told, there was still confusion in his eyes. “Isn’t it Zhou Xuan who said to take out the antidote within a week? Why are we searching the Shan Corporation? Wouldn’t that be the opposite of our goal?”
“You really have martial arts skills but no brains. Zhou Xuan is just a simple businessman. Even if he gathers some famous doctors like us, the progress of the research can’t be faster than ours..”
