Yan Fei looked toward the source of the voice, and his eyes landed on a woman dressed in white.
Despite being fully covered, there was an air of nobility about her that he could feel radiating toward him.
"It has nothing to do with you, I just need the silver needles."
"What do you need the silver needles for?"
The commander of the armed police hurried forward and explained the situation.
Yan Fei’s expression darkened, and he glanced sideways at Xiang Minhai,
The intensity of that look nearly brought Xiang Minhai to his knees!
"Prepare the silver needles, the more the better!"
Yan Fei ordered, for any method that could save those villagers was a good method at this point!
Soon, the silver needles were purchased, several large bundles of them.
And they were handed to Xia Weibao.
Xia Weibao took them and turned to leave, not even leaving behind a glance.
"I’ll go in and take a look," Yan Fei said.
"Your Excellency, you must wear a protective suit first!"
Xiang Minhai’s face changed, and he quickly intervened.
"There’s no need, if that woman could go in directly, I, as the President, must lead by example."
"Your Excellency, how can you compare yourself to a scammer? Your health is pivotal to the nation and its people."
Yan Fei gave Xiang Minhai a look, "In the face of life, everyone is equal. If my life is a life, are those villagers’ lives not lives?"
With one sentence, he left Xiang Minhai utterly without retort.
Yan Fei entered the village with several armed police officers accompanying him.
Along the way, it was indeed chilling, deathly still as if Hell itself.
There were even several corpses around, which disturbed him greatly.
"Have the bodies disposed of."
Yan Fei said in a low tone, the air was already bad in the village, and with so many corpses left here,
how could the plague be overcome?
Walking further in, he finally saw some people in front of a two-story building.
The villagers, seeing that the armed police had come in, all looked wary and hostile.
The armed police, fearing they would do something extreme and harm Yan Fei, pointed their guns at them.
Yan Fei’s expression darkened, "Put your guns down!"
They were all citizens of Huaxia, not criminals!
Amidst the hostile gazes, he walked in.
He saw several beds arranged in the hall, and each bed held a patient whose face was covered with pustules.
The woman in white moved among them, using the silver needles to treat each patient.
Yan Fei did not interrupt until an hour later, when Xia Weibao had sealed the acupoints of all the patients, that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
When she looked up, she saw Yan Fei standing at the doorway.
And he nodded to her.
Xia Weibao withdrew her gaze and looked towards the patients, "Don’t move around, just lie there for now, wait until I’ve figured out the prescription before removing the needles."
After speaking, she walked outside with Yan Fei.
Initially, she hadn’t had a good impression of those high officials in the government, but Yan Fei’s words just now had altered her view of this man.
The fact that he didn’t wear protective gear to come in impressed her even more.
"I didn’t expect you to be so bold, simply walking in here without fear of catching the plague?"
Yan Fei chuckled lightly, "If you, a frail woman, aren’t afraid, and I, a grown man, am scared, that would be quite indefensible."
Xia Weibao scoffed, "I’m not afraid because I’ve taken medicine, which prevents infection."
Yan Fei’s expression changed.
Damn, a miscalculation!
He had thought himself quite safe.
Seeing his expression contort slightly, Xia Weibao couldn’t help but laugh.
Taking a medicine bottle from her pocket, she tossed it to him, "Considering what you said earlier, I’m giving you a pill. You can only take one, I don’t have many left, I have to keep some just in case."
