Chapter 597 (2/2)

Zhao Yundi was afraid that Tang Xiu would hit him again, but then recalled his purpose of coming here and yelled back, “NO, I WON’T LEAVE! My sister is infected and is still inside. I can’t watch her die helplessly here. Just kill me if you got the balls!”

After being silent for a moment, Tang Xiu suddenly looked at those men brought by Zhao Yundi and spoke to them in a deep voice, “I don’t give a damn if you all are private forces of the Zhao Family, neither do I care about who you are. Put down your guns if you don’t want to court trouble for Zhao Yundi and SCRAM! Hmph… he’s just a little brat, but all of you are not! You should know how grave the consequences you will face for today’s actions.”

The twenty stocky men exchanged dismayed looks. How could they not realize the gravity of situation? Yet, they had to obey Zhao Yundi’s orders, thus they could only brace themselves and go with the tide. Instantly, all of them looked at Zhao Yundi and waited for his decision.

A cloudy and yet hesitant expression could be seen on Zhao Yundi’s face. He hesitated for more than half a minute before getting up from the ground and waving his hand, “All of you go back.”

Quickly, those twenty sturdy men left.

Following that, Zhao Yundi shot Tang Xiu a look. Though there was still anger on his face, he forcefully held himself back and shouted, “I already ordered them to leave, but I must still go inside since I must take my sister from this place here and now. I will never leave this place without her!”

Feeling too lazy to pay attention to him, Tang Xiu turned his head and looked at Wei Xiqing, saying, “Let us go inside! Saving people is all that matters.”

Wei Xiqing nodded quickly in response and took Tang Xiu and Chen Tong, whose face was full of awe. They quickly entered the institute and finally arrived at the quarantine area of the institute seven-plus minutes later.

“Divine Doctor Tang, according to the investigation from the intelligence agency, there have been a total 329 people who had close contact with those infected, and more than 60 have already contracted high fever symptoms and are confirmed to have been infected. We also have assigned a lot of experts across the country, but it’s a pity that we haven’t yet been able to figure out the origin of the virus as well as finding a solution as for how to treat the infected,” briefly explained Wei Shiqing.

Tang Xiu looked at Chen Tong and asked, “What’s the name of your classmate?”

“It’s Zhao Tingting,” answered Chen Tong quickly.

“Take me to this girl called Zhao Tingting!” Tang Xiu spoke to Wei Xiqing. “She’s the first virus carrier to appear and perhaps the key is with her.”

“I’m coming too!” Shouted Zhao Yundi immediately.

“What can you do?” Tang Xiu knitted his brows and coldly said. “Just wait outside.”

“Zhao Tingting is my sister, so I naturally must go with you,” exclaimed Zhao Yundi loudly.

His revelation made Tang Xiu stare blankly, and Chen Tong’s face was full of disbelief. He and Zhao Tingting were classmates and both were studied at the same university abroad. It was then that they fell in love with each other and became lovers, it’s just that their relationship hadn’t yet been officially recognized by their families. The reason why he followed Zhao Tingting to Beijing this time was also to meet her family.

He rarely heard Zhao Tinting mentioning her family and thought that she just hailed and grown up from a wealthy family. Little did he expect that she turned out to be a descendant of the Zhao Family from Beijing.

“I don’t care who Zhao Tingting is,” said Tang Xiu indifferently. “She’s now a carrier of the virus and no one is allowed to see her except me. So, be obedient and wait outside.”

“You…” Zhao Yundi was seething in anger.

Tang Xiu raised his hand, scaring him out of his wits as he stepped back a few steps.

Two minutes later, Tang Xiu passed through several iron gates and walked in the corridor with a staff member wearing a biohazard protective suit. Through transparent windows, he saw that each room was occupied by two people and they looked chagrined and despaired.

In the deepest place within the quarantine area, the beautiful Zhao Tingting hugged her knees while leaning on the bed in the corner. Her complexion was painted with unusual redness and her lips were slightly purple. She stared blankly and was in a daze with slightly furrowed brows.

Ding…

The door to the isolation room was opened as Tang Xiu entered, whereas the staff member in his biohazard protective suit closed the door from the outside.

“You…” Zhao Tingting slowly raised her and looked surprised.

“Are you Zhao Tingting, Chen Tong’s classmate?” Asked Tang Xiu with a smile.

She nodded in response. As if realizing something, she abruptly got up from the bed, went to the corner and shouted, “Don’t come near me! Who let you inside. I… I have been infected by a virus. Get out quickly!”

“What good morals and character,” praised Tang Xiu. “Your own safety isn’t yet guaranteed, but you still keep thinking about others. That’s very great of you, barely qualified as a wife to be of my grand-disciple.”
