Sun Delin and others then slowly sat down, but their attitude remained respectful.
The commander looked around and finally stopped at Shen Liwu's face, revealing a faint smile, "This is Doctor Shen, right? I have heard that your medical skills are extraordinary. After seeing you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved."
Shen Liwu stood up and smiled slightly, “Commander, you are too kind. I just did my duty.”
The commander nodded, his eyes showing some approval. "It's good for young people to be modest, but don't be too modest. We all see your abilities and contributions."
He paused, his eyes swept over the people present, and his tone was full of deep meaning, "I came here today, in addition to checking the situation of the troops, I also have an important matter to discuss with Doctor Shen."
Shen Liwu’s heartbeat quickened slightly, and her palms felt a little cold. The commander's arrival undoubtedly made the whole situation more complicated. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, still keeping a decent smile on her face.
"Commander, please speak." Her voice was steady and carried a hint of respect.
The commander nodded slightly, his eyes as deep as a lake. "The international situation has been tense recently, and the military needs to strengthen its research and development capabilities in the biomedical field. We understand that you have profound attainments in surgery, venom, and pharmacology research, so we hope that you can join the military's research team and contribute to the country's security."
His voice was steady and powerful, and every word he spoke carried unquestionable weight.
The air in the room seemed to freeze in an instant, everyone held their breath, and all their eyes were fixed on Chen Liwu.
These words undoubtedly sound like an order, and if you refuse you have to think about the consequences.
Shen Liwu's heart beat faster, she felt her back getting a little cold, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out of her palms.
She knew that the man in front of her was not only a high-ranking general, but also represented the core will of the country and the army. His invitation is both an honor and a responsibility that cannot be easily refused.
She lowered her head slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, she raised her head with a firm and gentle look. "Commander, I am very honored to have your trust and recognition. However, my research is still in progress, and the progress of some projects has not yet met expectations. I am afraid that I cannot devote myself to your mission for the time being."
She doesn't want to go at all, help!
Didn't the commander want her to prepare the antidote this time? Why are you here to poach people?
The commander's eyes never left her face, and there was an unreadable emotion in his eyes.
He did not respond immediately, but pondered for a few seconds, then smiled faintly, "I can understand Dr. Shen's concerns. Scientific research requires time and patience, which I agree with. However, I am not here to ask you to make a decision immediately, but I hope you can consider it carefully. The military's resources and platforms may provide more possibilities for your research."
