"Director Xiang, I apologize. I misspoke!"
"I'm sorry, Director Xiang. I offer my sincere apologies!"
Zhu Bailin and Lei Chu were so frightened that they immediately apologized to Xiang Wanli on the spot.
Yang Jiguo shot them a fierce glare and said, "When we get to the Great Hall of the State Guesthouse, mind your words and actions. Don't disgrace us Chinese!"
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Fortunately, the real protagonist in this team was Cheng Xiaofan.
Otherwise, bringing these people here would have been an utter embarrassment.
Except for Xiang Wanli, who was leading them, there wasn't a single decent person among them!
Upon arriving at the Great Hall of the State Guesthouse, they found it filled with seats.
Each row of seats was numbered.
Attendees from each country were to take their seats according to their assigned numbers.
Xiang Wanli noticed that they had been assigned seats in an inconspicuous corner.
Clearly, this was another deliberate arrangement by Ross.
Xiang Wanli's expression immediately soured.
She spotted Ross standing not far away, looking in their direction with a mocking smile.
"Beautiful Xiang, don't be angry!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Don't think Ross is so smug now. The time for him to cry will come soon."
Xiang Wanli suppressed the anger in her heart.
She sat down in her assigned seat.
"Mr. Cheng, with you by my side, I won't be angry."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "That's the spirit!"
"With me around, you should be happy!"
Xiang Wanli smiled, "Yes, with you by my side, I am quite happy!"
Zhu Bailin was sitting not far away.
Hearing their conversation, he gritted his teeth in anger.
Xiang Wanli was the beauty he had set his sights on.
He hadn't expected her to turn to Cheng Xiaofan so quickly.
Now, it seemed he had no chance to intervene.
Precisely at ten o'clock.
King Mengxizi of the Small Island Nation, accompanied by his Queen, made a punctual appearance.
Mengxizi appeared to be over seventy years old, with white hair and a silver beard, leaning on a cane with his left hand.
The Queen beside him, however, looked to be just over twenty years old.
Her golden hair flowed, she was tall and slender, with a graceful figure, a quintessential young beauty.
She walked on a straight line with her feet, her slender waist swaying gently, a beautiful smile on her face, exuding an indescribable charm.
Wow!
As the pair appeared, thunderous applause erupted from below.
Clearly, most of the applause was directed at the young Queen.
"Beautiful Xiang, there's something wrong with this Queen!"
Cheng Xiaofan leaned close to Xiang Wanli and whispered.
Xiang Wanli couldn't help but tremble.
"Mr. Cheng, do you mean the Queen has been infected?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded.
"She was infected with the virus three days ago during an outing."
Xiang Wanli asked in disbelief, "Mr. Cheng, how did you know?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "I saw it from the vital energy emanating from her."
"Distinguished guests, greetings!"
At this moment, Mengxizi began to speak, "I am King Mengxizi of the Small Island Nation!"
"Beside me is my Queen, Wan Ke!"
"I know that you are all elites from the medical field from various countries, who have traveled thousands of miles and volunteered to help us fight the virus."
"The Queen and I are deeply grateful for your presence!"
"Queen, please say a few words to our friends!" Mengxizi said to Wan Ke.
Wan Ke smiled and nodded, looking at the attendees and saying, "Respected friends!"
"Like the King, I am incredibly excited by your arrival!"
"Uh—"
Just as she was speaking.
Suddenly, Wan Ke seemed to have her throat choked and couldn't speak.
Terrifyingly, her face turned an alarming shade of blue-purple.
Black blood began to flow down from her eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.
Thump!
Wan Ke collapsed onto the ground.
She convulsed uncontrollably, as if having an epileptic seizure.
On the wall opposite the State Guesthouse was a large electronic screen.
Every action of the people on stage, including every detail and sound, was displayed on the screen and amplified through the loudspeakers.
"Oh no, the Queen is infected with the virus!"
Someone, trembling with fear, cried out.
The entire venue descended into chaos.
Many people, terrified, fled towards the exits.
"Queen, you'll be alright, won't you?"
Mengxizi was terrified. He knelt on one leg, shaking Wan Ke's body, and cried out loudly, "Queen, wake up! I can't live without you!"
He then waved his hands at the people present.
He shouted, "Don't run away! Please save my Queen!"
"You are all elites selected from your respective countries."
"At this critical moment, you cannot falter!"
"Stop shouting! With me here, the Queen will be fine!" At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan strode swiftly and appeared beside Mengxizi.
Those who had run to the main entrance.
Upon hearing this voice.
They all turned their heads.
"You can save my Queen?"
Mengxizi looked at Cheng Xiaofan with disbelief.
In his heart, he felt that the medical skills of the Chinese were simply not good enough.
However!
Faced with the Queen's collapse, everyone in the hall was too scared to run, and this young Chinese man not only didn't run but also stepped forward.
This made Mengxizi look at Cheng Xiaofan with newfound respect.
Just for this spirit alone.
He felt he could not slight this young man.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan nodded.
"Yes, I am confident I can save her."
"Young man, you say—"
Mengxizi took a deep breath.
He asked, "Has my Queen been infected with the virus?"
From his tone, anyone could tell.
He still didn't quite believe the medical skills of this young Chinese man.
Cheng Xiaofan understood the intention behind his question.
He said with firm conviction, "She has indeed been infected with the virus!"
"If I'm not mistaken, it was three days ago."
"The Queen went out and attended a gathering, and was infected then."
"On the evening of her return, she began experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting."
"Unfortunately, no one paid attention at the time."
"They thought she had eaten too much greasy food and had an upset stomach!"
Mengxizi was stunned upon hearing this.
"How did you know these things?" he asked, his face a picture of shock.
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "It's very simple; I saw it from the vital energy emanating from her."
He then let out a cold smile, "Your Majesty, do you not believe my words?"
"I believe you!"
Mengxizi quickly declared, "I absolutely believe you!"
"Everything you said just now was correct!"
Although he didn't understand what "vital energy" was.
Every word Cheng Xiaofan spoke was a fact.
Based on this alone, how could he not believe?
At this moment, in Mengxizi's heart.
Only Cheng Xiaofan could save the Queen.
"Divine doctor, please, save my Queen quickly!"
Mengxizi was so desperate that he was about to kowtow to Cheng Xiaofan.
