Just then, Zhong Xingyun squeezed into the crowd and whispered a few words in Old Master Si’s ear.
Old Master Si’s sinister face immediately glowed red, and he laughed heartily while ordering in a strong voice, “Quickly show this to everyone! This is great news! Our China is amazing!”
“What good news?” several business tycoons asked curiously.
Zhong Xingyun connected his phone to the screen and said with a smile, “You can see for yourselves. I can’t explain it clearly, but it’s great news that benefits the country and its people.”
Before the words were even finished, Zhuang Li, who had just been secretly called a gay bast**d by some guests, appeared on the giant LED screen, surrounded by a group of people. Upon closer inspection, even the President of China was among them, looking quite respectful. They walked around a laboratory, then pointed at a test tube, seemingly explaining some technology.
A line of text scrolled across the bottom of the screen, and the announcer spoke in a spirited and powerful tone: “Dr. Zhuang Li, a Chinese scientist, has recently developed gene repair technology, thus completely conquering cancer and certain incurable diseases caused by gene mutations. Clinical trials show that this treatment has an effectiveness rate of 100%. Please see the detailed report below…”
Have they conquered cancer and certain terminal illnesses?
The guests stared at the screen in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
On the screen, the national leader was shaking hands warmly with Zhuang Li and repeatedly giving him a thumbs-up. Those surrounding Zhuang Li were also beaming with joy.
The scene shifted, and Zhuang Li had left the lab, walking down a corridor, quickly flipping through a folder in his hand, followed by a group of researchers. He was clearly in a hurry.
A popular CCTV anchorwoman trotted up behind him, microphone in hand, and asked respectfully, “Mr. Zhuang, how did you conquer cancer? Could you tell us about your research findings?”
“The principle is very simple, as you should all know. After a virus invades the human body, it injects its own DNA into human cells and multiplies rapidly. Using this characteristic, I synthesized an adeno-associated virus that carries normal human genes. After infecting the human body, it injects these normal genes into diseased cells and continues to replicate.”
“People infected with this virus will not only not experience any adverse reactions, but will also gradually recover to normal, because their diseased cells are being continuously repaired by these viruses,” Zhuang Li said without looking up.
The female host quickly asked, “So how long does this treatment last? Will it be very expensive?”
“Patients with advanced cancer can be cured for life with just one injection. However, unfortunately, this treatment cannot be widely available at present because the cultivation of adeno-associated virus is a very delicate process, and only a few milligrams can be cultivated in a year. Therefore, the cost of one injection is very expensive.”
Zhuang Li looked at the camera and said firmly, “But as the technology continues to mature, this treatment will benefit every Chinese person. This is my promise.”
The host was captivated by his deep eyes, and it took her a long time before she nodded, her eyes reddening. She believed that Mr. Zhuang could definitely do it; his eyes seemed as if they could hold the whole world.
“Mr. Zhuang, how old are you? You look so young!”
“I am eighteen years old this year.”
“Wow! That’s amazing! I heard you even cured a patient who was completely paralyzed. Could you tell me about it?”
“Have you heard of exoskeletons? Through a brain-computer interface, an exoskeleton made of nanomaterials, as thin as a cicada’s wing, is worn on the human body. Through nanotransistors laid in the exoskeleton, it is then connected to a chip in the brain, and then the mind can be used to control the body that has lost consciousness.”
“The properties of nanomaterials allow us to make exoskeletons thinner than skin and stronger than steel, and without causing any discomfort when wearing them.”
“With this technology, we can also treat ALS, vegetative state, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and so on. Sorry, I have another experiment to do, excuse me.” Zhuang Li closed the folder and quickened his pace.
The host quickly asked the last question: “Mr. Zhuang, it is said that your lover has ALS, and you started this research to save him. Is that true?”
Zhuang Li paused slightly, then looked directly into the camera and said frankly, “Yes, I developed this technology to save him. The world he lives in is also the world I want to protect. May peace and our country last forever.”
He gradually disappeared from the camera’s view, but the female host clutched her chest and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
China will be safe and sound. Even the Americans, with their hegemonic dominance, will not antagonize China at this point, much less send anyone to assassinate Mr. Zhuang. He is the savior of all humanity; to kill him would be to defy the world.
American politicians were human too; they also wanted to live.
After that interview, the female host interviewed several lucky participants in the clinical trial.
Upon seeing the familiar face on the screen, the guests, who had been standing in the Si family hall like a group of puppets, finally let out a series of exclamations.
“Isn’t this Old Zhao! He had late-stage lung cancer. I visited him in the hospital a while ago. His son even picked out a burial plot for him! Is he cured?” one of Old Master Si’s friends exclaimed in disbelief, pointing at the screen.
“It’s him! It’s him! Look, his white hair has turned black! He’s really cured!”
“Incredible! Modern technology is so advanced that it can even cure late-stage cancer! No wonder he told me the other day that he spent tens of millions to buy a spot in a trial. Was this the trial he was referring to? He’s incredibly lucky!”
“Not only that, didn’t you hear Xiao Li say on TV? He can also cure Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s! My old bones are finally saved!”
The bigwigs were completely excited, pointing and discussing among themselves around the screen. They were about the same age as Old Master Si, and their health was always poor. They had to be hospitalized every now and then, suffering a lot. Their greatest wish in life was to live a few more years in good health.
Great news! Their country had actually invented longevity technology, and they were undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries.
It was only then that the bigwigs realized what was going on, and then they pointed at Old Master Si’s nose and laughed and scolded, “You old fox, you reserved Xiao Li so early! You really got a great deal! Has Xiao Ming’s illness been cured? Is that an exoskeleton on his right hand?”
As they talked, they secretly rejoiced. They were the only people in the banquet hall who showed enthusiasm towards Zhuang Li, so the boy must have a good impression of them, which would make things less awkward when he came to ask for their help later.
“The best deal I ever made in my life was giving my grandson to Xiao Li for free. Hahaha, don’t laugh at me, but I was really afraid Xiao Li would run away halfway through, and I couldn’t sleep soundly every night!”
“Xiao Li took Xiao Ming to get a shot, yes, the kind of shot you see on TV. He saved one for my Xiao Ming a long time ago.” Old Master Si laughed heartily while stamping his dragon-headed cane.
You could tell he was really excited.
It was only then that the guests realized that what Old Master Si had said earlier to defend Zhuang Li was not just saving face, nor was it a case of putting on a brave face while his heart was bleeding; he genuinely liked Zhuang Li!
Who wouldn’t like a super genius who can even cure cancer? Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with him? Haven’t you seen how even national leaders had to line up to shake hands with Zhuang Li?
The Si family really made a killing this time! What’s so special about being gay? If Zhuang Li had taken a liking to their younger generation, they’d be happy to give them away for free!
The guests, each with their own agendas, quickly abandoned Xiu Zhaotian and Xiu Yue and gathered around Master Si, showering him with compliments.
Zhuang Li was still standing in the banquet hall but they didn’t go over to talk to the people. Now that they had left, they were filled with regret and wished they could turn back time and do it all over again.
Xiu Zhaotian and Xiu Yue had frozen into two stone statues, no longer caring about their elegant demeanor or aristocratic bearing, their chaotic minds gradually being overwhelmed by deep despair.
They had planned everything meticulously, but they hadn’t anticipated that Si Ming would win Zhuang Li’s favor.
How could getting into a gay relationship cure a terminal illness? Is Si Ming God’s favorite son?
