Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

"I figured your patience had run out and you no longer intended to hide your identity. So, when you finished work yesterday, I arranged for You Jiaoyang to leave work together with my brother-in-law and find an opportunity to secretly plant that Ice and Fire Beast Insect into his body."

"The Ice and Fire Beast Insect can create the illusion that my brother-in-law is infected with a virus, and only then can I seize the chance to make a deal with you." As for Jin Yunhai and the Presidential Order, they disguised themselves as patients and entered the hospital last night.

At this moment, the Presidential Order also stood up from the sickbed, looking at Zhang Zhiyi with endless emotion in his heart. "Zhiyi, you were personally chosen by me from a pile of potential translator resumes. Over the years, you have gained my trust and esteem with your extraordinary work capability."

"I had long suspected there might be a member of the Annihilation Sect beside me, but I never doubted you. You really found yourself a perfect husband’s family."

The Presidential Order gazed at Xiahou Shang on the bed with a complex expression, sighing, "The Xiahou Family has been loyal to this nation for many generations, who would have thought that the eldest grandson’s wife of the Xiahou Family would turn out to be the Sect Leader of the Annihilation Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Shang’s face filled with shame. "Presidential Order, it was my blind eyes that led me to wrongly love someone."

The Presidential Order waved a hand towards Xiahou Shang, saying, "It’s not your fault. We were all deceived by Zhang Zhiyi, showing how adept she is at disguising. Like us, you’re also a victim of her deception."

Jin Yunhai quietly added, "You’re worse off than us; we only had our trust deceived, but you had both your heart and body duped."

Xu Xingguang glanced at Jin Yunhai, suddenly curious about what this Commander Jin was like in private with his wife, Hua Junqiao.

Now that the plan was completely exposed, no matter how cunning Zhang Zhiyi’s lies were, they were futile. Knowing that escape was nearly impossible, she turned to Xiahou Shang and asked, "Brother Shang, do you blame me?"

Xiahou Shang gave a bitter smile and said, "I hate you."

"Xiahou Shang, you should hate me." Zhang Zhiyi smiled, sat on a bench, looked at the rising morning sun outside the window, and lamented, "In my life, I’ve deceived too many people, but only towards you, I feel guilty."

She touched her abdomen and told Xiahou Shang, "Actually, I lied to you. I’m not pregnant. I said those things just to soften your heart and make you stand on the same side as me."

Xiahou Shang was half-convinced.

He stared at Zhang Zhiyi’s stomach, remaining silent.

"Xu Xingguang, do you know why, even when captured, I remain so calm?" Zhang Zhiyi slightly turned her head, showing a sinister and eerie smile to Xu Xingguang who stood behind her.

Xu Xingguang lightly frowned.

Zhang Zhiyi suddenly turned to look at the Presidential Order and said, "More than ten years ago, a heavy influenza swept the globe, killing many people. Mr. President, out of love for your country and people, you had the biological institute develop a new flu vaccine and spread it to various cities and hospitals five years ago, offering it for free to newborns."

"In these five years, the number of children who received that vaccine must be countless."

The Presidential Order’s pupils shook intensely, his square face turning instantly pale. "Zhang Zhiyi, did you tamper with those vaccines?"

Zhang Zhiyi ignored the Presidential Order and instead turned around, looking up at Xu Xingguang, saying, "Xu Xingguang, the same drug, your grandfather under the suppression from An Shen Wood endured for decades before fully mutating. So why don’t you guess how many years these little ones can hold out without the An Shen Wood’s help?"

Bam!

Xu Xingguang suddenly kicked Zhang Zhiyi off the bench, her body first crashing into the nightstand before slumping into the corner of the wall.

Upon hearing the commotion, Huo Wen’an burst in through the door, witnessing Xu Xingguang pinning Zhang Zhiyi to the ground with a foot on her chest, trapping her between the foot and the wall.

Xu Xingguang suddenly had a long sword in her hand, using it to press against Zhang Zhiyi’s throat, breaking the surface of her throat on the spot, blood streaming down from the tip towards her collarbone and chest.

No one saw clearly where Xu Xingguang had produced this sword from.

It appeared as if it had been conjured out of thin air.

Jin Yunhai noticed Huo Wen’an’s unperturbed response and realized that Huo Wen’an was fully aware of Xu Xingguang’s situation.

Jin Yunhai exchanged a glance with his uncle and both decided to watch and wait.

"Xu Xingguang, you’ve evolved extraordinary abilities too, haven’t you? What is your ability?" Zhang Zhiyi gazed at the sword in Xu Xingguang’s hand, speculating, "Telekinesis?"
