Chapter 352: Chapter 352

Wen Ya: "That’s not acceptable either. Our Miss An Yan says that one should always hold fate in their own hands." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFirｅ.net

Matsumoto Mina: "Perhaps you should ask the people inside if they are willing to eat it?"

The door opened. Su Siming appeared at the doorway.

"We don’t want to!" he declared. "Because we are not infected at all!"

A bad feeling rose in Matsumoto Mina’s heart. This sensation was utterly repulsive to her. In her confrontations with An Yan, whenever this feeling emerged, it signaled that misfortune was about to strike her.

"If you’re not infected, why didn’t you go rescue Watanabe Isorou?" Matsumoto Mina gritted her teeth.

Su Siming replied, "We were cooperating with you, weren’t we? You schemed to infect us with the fungus; you must have had a purpose. Now we know. Your aim was to rescue Watanabe Isorou yourself, wasn’t it?"

"You truly went to great lengths just to advertise your medicine."

What did she mean, rescue him herself? Watanabe Isorou was originally her bait for An Yan.

Matsumoto Mina was so angry her stomach ached, but she suppressed her anger and said, "I went to rescue him because you were all being neglectful. I certainly couldn’t just watch Watanabe Isorou die, could I? He’s a citizen of our R Country."

"How touching!" Su Siming clapped. "If I didn’t know you’d once tried to infect us with the fungus, I might have actually believed your nonsense."

"Mr. Su, you keep saying I wanted to infect you. Where is your evidence?" Matsumoto Mina asked coldly.

"I was just waiting for you to say that." Su Siming took out a video clip. It showed the segment where Ono Eishi, while pretending to speak with Yan An, released mosquitoes into the folds of her clothes. Then, another segment cut from R Country’s live broadcast showed Matsumoto Mina being bitten on the nose by a mosquito, after which she hurriedly left. When she reappeared, she was wearing a large face mask.

Su Siming continued, "After we discovered the mosquito in Cousin Yan An’s clothing, we had it analyzed immediately and found fungus on its mouthparts."

"The adversary’s intent was clear, so we decided to turn the tables on them. We deliberately avoided the cameras but chose a spot close to the R Country delegation to stage a quarrel."

"I suppose at that time, Miss Matsumoto Mina, you were all ears listening to our argument. That’s why you were so sure we were all infected with the fungus, right?"

Matsumoto Mina’s face twisted, her voice barely squeezed out from between her teeth. "So, it was you who released these mosquitoes near us?"

Su Siming replied cheerfully, "That’s not accurate! How could it be ’released’?"

"Clearly, they were returned!"

"In our Z Country, not coveting found items is a duty every citizen must fulfill. If we don’t covet money, of course, we can’t covet mosquitoes either, Miss Mina. You should thank us for returning the mosquitoes to you."

Thank you, my ass! Matsumoto Mina felt her breath catch in her chest, stuck and unbearably uncomfortable.

[I’m liking Su Siming more and more.]

[Now I finally understand why Su Siming was chosen for the scene where he pretends to quarrel with An Yan at the conference room door. He’s perfect for it!]

[It must be tough for Miss An Yan, having to use even team members like him so effectively.]

[Actually, I think Su Siming is very clever! Very cute! And very handsome!! Confession.JPG.]

Matsumoto Mina finally regained her composure. She gave her assistant a look, then, with an expression of helplessness, sighed heavily. "I’m sorry, I didn’t know Ono Eishi was behind this!"

"I apologize to everyone on his behalf. Clearly, he wanted to use this incident to make you all lose the competition, but I absolutely do not support such actions!"

"Miss Mina!" The assistant interjected, "Ono had already released a mosquito earlier, and it bit Miss Zhang Zhilan!"

Matsumoto Mina turned her head in shock, looking incredulously at her assistant. "What did you say? You knew about this too?!"

The assistant bowed their head. "Yes, I... I’m sorry."

The assistant bowed deeply, a full ninety degrees. Matsumoto Mina pressed her forehead as if staving off a headache. After a moment, she spoke again, "My management was at fault for causing everyone trouble. I apologize."

"Going forward, I will tighten my management. I won’t let my subordinates do anything that could harm you again. Now, please give me a chance to make amends."

Matsumoto Mina handed the medication to Su Siming. "Please take this medicine back for Miss Zhang Zhilan."

「In the operating room.」

Inoue Kawaetsu’s surgery was finally completed. Mother and child were safe.

After applying medicine to them, An Yan handed over follow-up care to Yan An and left the operating room to visit Watanabe Isorou’s ward.

Matsumoto Mina and her team had already left. Only Watanabe Isorou remained in the ward.

An Yan activated her Clairvoyant Ability and scanned him thoroughly from top to bottom...

Watching the footage of An Yan standing there, staring blankly at Watanabe Isorou, An Duxuan felt his heart ache. He thought An Yan was blaming herself for not saving Watanabe Isorou in time.

[Yanyan is amazing! The caesarean section was a success! Your second brother is proud of you!!]

This time, An Duxuan used his main account. As soon as he commented, fans immediately followed:

[An Yan is so awesome! She even saved the HIV-positive mother during childbirth! Amazing!!]

[An Yan, you’re not omnipotent; you can only save one person at a time. You’re already incredible! Keep it up!!]

An Yan was unaware of what was being said online, but she now knew what Revival Dan was.

「At the entrance to An Yan’s team meeting room.」

Su Siming, wary of Matsumoto Mina who was handing him the medication, stepped back to avoid contact. "No need," he said. "Zhang Zhilan has already recovered. If Sister An Yan can heal Wada Sakurako, she can naturally heal Zhang Zhilan too. What were you thinking? That we could only get better with your medication?"

"Zhang Zhilan has recovered too?" Matsumoto Mina couldn’t believe it.

Ono Eishi had given them three Dong Xuelian flowers, which were only enough for Wada Sakurako. Where did they get additional medicine for Zhang Zhilan?

Suddenly, she thought of something. "Dong Xuelian? We acquired fifteen Dong Xuelian flowers from our domestic supply, and they mysteriously vanished. Did you take them?"

Su Siming laughed and immediately retorted, "We ordered a Thousand-Year Ginseng yesterday, and it mysteriously disappeared. Was it Miss Matsumoto Mina who stole it?"

Matsumoto Mina felt he was just muddying the waters and said unhappily, "What ginseng? I haven’t seen it!"

Su Siming, smiling, imitated her, "What Dong Xuelian? I haven’t seen it!"

"...Mr. Su, I know you’re eloquent, but we have evidence that the Dong Xuelian definitely entered your Z Country!"

"And I have evidence that a Thousand-Year Ginseng definitely exists within our Z Country borders!"

"Alright, Mr. Su, since you insist you didn’t take our Dong Xuelian, then present your evidence!"

"I can, but since you started this, shouldn’t you first provide evidence that you didn’t steal my Thousand-Year Ginseng?"

"You..." Matsumoto Mina was so angry she couldn’t speak, her chest heaving violently as if she were about to explode.
