The three arrived at the hospital. Jiangcheng Hospital had already urgently isolated several wards for those injured that night.
The injuries of the injured had been treated, and their emotions were stable. There were no signs of them being transformed, nor did they exhibit the fever symptoms that Chi Hao had mentioned.
However, given the gravity of the situation, they could not afford to be careless. Chen Xiao instructed them to continue the isolation until they were completely confirmed to be normal before they could be discharged.
Ren Songfei was also present. He had finally managed to catch Chen Xiao and pulled him aside, asking all the questions that were on his mind.
Chen Xiao did not deliberately conceal anything. He told Ren Songfei all the information he possessed, without omitting any details.
After listening to Chen Xiao, Ren Songfei's expression became extremely serious and profound.
"It's actually someone from the Fogula family. This matter is no small feat. I will report it immediately."
Upon hearing Ren Songfei's words, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What, Director Ren, do you also know people from the Fogula family?"
Ren Songfei shook his head. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "I don't. However, according to the internal historical records of our Exorcism Division, someone from the Fogula family once invaded our Huaguo. They were eventually repelled by the combined efforts of Huaguo's experts and were forced to promise that the Fogula bloodline would never set foot on Huaguo's territory. Although that was over a hundred years ago, I didn't expect them to disregard their promise and return!"
"Oh? Who repelled them? Can you elaborate?"
Chen Xiao asked.
Ren Songfei gave a wry smile, "Chen Xiao, don't force me. You should have realized that what I just told you has already violated discipline. There are some things I don't want to say, but I cannot say them. I hope you can understand."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "Alright, then I won't force you."
After a brief interaction with this Director Ren, Chen Xiao found that the man was not a bad person. Although he had some minor flaws and imperfections, overall, he was acceptable.
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Chen Xiao. Don't worry, you are not fighting alone. Today you killed someone from the Fogula family, and they will definitely not let it go. Behind you, you have our entire Exorcism Division, and the entire Huaguo supporting you!"
Ren Songfei said with utmost seriousness.
Seeing him like this, Chen Xiao felt it would be impolite to tease him. He merely nodded and replied faintly, "Alright, I know. It's getting late, I need to go back. If there are any problems, notify me in time. I'm leaving!"
"Okay, take care!"
Ren Songfei politely saw Chen Xiao off.
Chen Xiao left the ward and took the elevator downstairs.
When he reached the first floor, the elevator doors opened, and Song Anran was standing outside. Both of them looked at each other with great surprise.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
They both asked each other in unison.
Immediately after, Song Anran's expression turned disdainful, and she teased, "Why aren't you spending a pleasant evening with your blonde bombshell and instead running to the hospital?"
"Director Song, that was a misunderstanding. It's not what you saw..."
Chen Xiao found it impossible to explain this matter. He couldn't possibly tell Song Anran that the bombshell was a vampire and had already been burned to death by him, could he?
"You still know I'm Director Song? Then is there any problem with me being at the hospital? Speaking of which, you are still my assistant?"
Song Anran said with a pout.
Chen Xiao corrected her, "Director Song, I am no longer your assistant. I am now the Director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
"Oh, you've become Director now? 'When a scholar returns after three days, one should look at him with new eyes,' huh?"
Song Anran said again with a hint of sarcasm, then mumbled, "You still haven't explained to me what happened just now."
"This... I can't explain it clearly in a short while. By the way, didn't you say you had something very important to tell me earlier? What was it?"
Chen Xiao, finding it difficult to explain, decided to change the subject.
Song Anran thought for a moment and walked into the elevator, "Come with me, I want to show you something."
As the elevator ascended, Song Anran said, "Actually, my reason for coming to Jiangcheng this time was to hold a press conference at Jiangcheng Medical College. I have a very important research project that I want to announce."
"Oh? Didn't you just say you came back because of me? How did you forget so quickly?"
Chen Xiao questioned.
Song Anran rolled her eyes, "Can you let me finish? During this period, my research project has made a significant breakthrough, and I have synthesized a new type of blood proteinase."
"Simply put, this proteinase has strong immunity and can greatly enhance the human immune repair capability. If used properly, it can even be used to cure cancer."
Song Anran's simple statement carried immense weight for Chen Xiao, a doctor.
It could be said that if this research achievement was true, Song Anran could become a highly sought-after hero for all of humanity. Her research results could save hundreds of millions of lives.
Of course, if Chen Xiao wanted to, he could also achieve these things.
Even those cultivators, if they wanted to, could do so. However, they were not ordinary people. The most important aspect of cultivation was self-cultivation and fostering virtue, and they could not be too immersed in the joys and sorrows of the secular world.
Moreover, most of those powerful cultivators did not care about the lives of ordinary people.
As for Chen Xiao, he had no interest in doing so. He was like a bug in this world. He did not want to change this world too much because of himself, as it might cause even bigger bugs.
Therefore, up to now, he had only influenced the people around him, with a relatively small scope, making it easier to control.
Song Anran, on the other hand, was completely different. If she publicized her research results, it could be said that she promoted human evolution to a certain extent.
Her contributions would benefit generations to come!
As she spoke, Song Anran led Chen Xiao to her laboratory.
She took out a very high-tech, temperature-controlled cabinet. With fingerprint and iris unlocking, the cabinet opened to reveal a small glass vial containing a blood-red liquid.
"This is the new proteinase I synthesized,"
Song Anran introduced.
Chen Xiao smiled and asked, "Director Song, why are you showing this to me?"
Song Anran smiled slightly, "Because I'm considering whether or not to make this research achievement public."
"Moreover, even if I want to announce it, I need your consent first. So, when I said my main purpose for coming to Jiangcheng was to find you, it wasn't entirely a lie."
Chen Xiao was stunned, "What does this have to do with me? This is your research achievement. Although I was your assistant, I didn't help you much."
"How could you say that!"
Song Anran pouted, a little guiltily, "The main component cells of this proteinase were extracted from your blood..."
