Chapter 540: Don’t Donate or You’ll Be Scolded
Although Academician Liu was somewhat unwilling after being lectured by Xiao Jihui, he had actually given up hope.
But no one expected that things would take a turn for the better!
"What did you say? You're willing to cooperate with our research and let me draw blood?"
"It's not us, it's me." Feng Tianyu stood in front of Ye Wanxi, like a drawn sword, exuding a menacing aura.
Startled, Xiao Jihui instinctively took two steps back, but Academician Liu's eyes lit up, completely unfazed by the cold aura emanating from the other party, and hurriedly said, "Anything is fine, anything is fine. So, can I...?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at her senior brother, coughed lightly, and said, "Do you have any tools? I'll help him draw blood."
Academician Liu naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request.
And so, the two of them watched as Ye Wanxi inserted the needle into Feng Tianyu's arm, then pulled it out a little bit, then a little bit more, until it stopped at a thin layer!
Xiao Jihui and Academician Liu: "..." Do you have to be so stingy?
Ye Wanxi handed the syringe, which looked to contain less than a milliliter of blood, to Academician Liu. Academician Liu stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to take it for a long time.
After a brief standoff, Academician Liu finally gave in, confirming that this was his only research sample. He held the small syringe with utmost solemnity and care, almost shedding tears of heartache.
However, the most heartbreaking part was yet to come. When the formal tests were conducted, Academician Liu realized how presumptuous he had been.
Not only did Feng Tianyu's small vial of blood fail to detect any antibodies, but it also destroyed a testing instrument in his laboratory.
As a result, whenever the doctors in the laboratory saw Feng Tianyu, they would unconsciously reveal the complex look of admiration and fear that ordinary people have when looking at a superpowered master.
Feng Tianyu: "..."
Ye Wanxi was quite surprised to learn about this. She thought that their blood would at most cause the instrument to malfunction, but she did not expect that there was also the possibility of it exploding.
Although it wasn't her intention to help and even cause more trouble, Ye Wanxi still felt somewhat guilty.
Feng Tianyu saw through her thoughts, thought for a moment, and then reminded her, "We may not be able to help with this, but there are others who can."
"who?"
"Third brother."
"Third Senior Brother?" Ye Wanxi was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Right, there's also a Third Senior Brother, how come I didn't think of that!"
Her third senior brother was a famous alchemy genius in his previous life. Many people suffering from serious illnesses came to him because of his reputation, and he worked diligently to generate revenue for the sect for many years.
It's fair to say that among her senior brothers, her third senior brother was definitely the richest.
Although it seems that the third senior brother did not return to his old profession in this life, since he has memories of his previous life, these are not problems.
While Ye Wanxi was busy contacting Jun Wuduan to come and help save the day, other places were also gradually falling into chaos because of the virus.
Just as Ye Wanxi had predicted, the virus appeared suddenly. Not to mention how many people the people diagnosed in Wu Chi's village had come into contact with on their way back, some people who had never been in contact with them and were scattered all over the country also showed similar symptoms, making people wonder if there was something fishy going on.
But the most urgent task is to find a way to stabilize the epidemic as soon as possible and prevent it from continuing to spread.
Fortunately, the virus was discovered quickly, and Xiao Baihui's side reacted quickly as well. Although some people in one or two places chose to conceal it due to excessive fear, the truth could not be hidden forever, and it was discovered quickly without causing serious consequences.
However, this result is still quite shocking to ordinary people, and everyone is on edge, fearing that they might become one of them if they are not careful.
More and more patients are being discovered and admitted, but this has led to a shortage of medical resources.
Some companies took the lead in donating money and supplies, and some individuals also began to donate money and show their love. Many celebrities in the industry followed suit and donated money to show their support.
Under such circumstances, some celebrities who do not have a public record of donations inevitably become the target of public criticism.
Ye Wanxi was the first to be affected. She had been a hot topic for a while, which meant that countless eyes were watching her every move.
After discovering that she was not on the first batch of donation lists, those who had been struggling to find fault with her suddenly perked up.
When Gao Min discovered it, Ye Wanxi's negative hashtag had already been pushed to the top of the trending topics. Clicking on it revealed that it was full of paid trolls and haters mocking Ye Wanxi.
[Don't Ye's fans always boast that their idol treats money like dirt and has incredible resources? Shouldn't she seize this opportunity to vent her frustrations? How come among so many celebrities who have donated, we haven't seen a single one of her?]
[The person upstairs is too naive, treating money like dirt. She's just an ugly duckling abandoned by her parents, trying to portray herself as a kind, honest, rich, and beautiful woman—and it backfired! So many people are risking their lives on the front lines, resources are scarce, and conditions are harsh. Why doesn't she show her generosity and donate? Instead, she's playing dead? So, you only know a person's true nature when it's a matter of life and death.]
Is this the kind of power that top celebrities have? They earn in a day what ordinary people can't earn in a year, ten years, or even a lifetime, yet they lack even the most basic compassion and conscience. It's disgusting!
[I've always thought this woman was ridiculously fake. She came from an orphanage, yet she always cultivated a persona of a rich, beautiful, and straightforward woman who was always throwing tantrums. After being exposed, she started brainwashing netizens, claiming she didn't mention it because she was independent, strong, and didn't want to play the victim.]
[Actually, she's ashamed of her orphanage background and refuses to mention her 'dark history' to the public; she's vain and pretentious. And now that she's so popular and earns so much money, there's never been any news about her sponsoring orphanages. Aren't popular celebrities with management teams usually the ones who love to create that kind of news?]
[This is completely fabricated, so how could it be making headlines? Media outlets had already investigated this before; her name was never on the list of charitable donors to the orphanage that adopted her. They raised her with such care, and now she's ungrateful after becoming famous—what a heartless ingrate! I wonder if the orphanage staff regret taking her in.]
"..."
All sorts of sarcastic remarks, and even personal attacks that escalated to the level of morality, came pouring in, making Gao Min's assistant turn green with embarrassment.
"These people are really going too far. They talk nonsense without knowing anything. Sister Ye is clearly... clearly not that kind of person."
Gao Min sighed, as if she had long expected this day to come: "It's no use. They don't care about the truth at all. When they are prejudiced against someone, whatever she does is wrong."
