Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

At this moment, he finally understood the truth.

”You are immune to the virus, even the Corpse Centipede cannot enter your body to hide and grow. I chose you because of your special constitution. I have a difficult task that needs you to handle.”

To put it bluntly, Jin Yaoyang is like a bug in the virus world.

Being valued by Xu Xingguang, Jin Yaoyang felt honored and said loudly, ”Captain Xu, no matter what it is, through fire or water, just say the word, and I’ll go, no questions asked!”

”Quite the loud proclamation.” Xu Xingguang signaled him not to get excited. After Jin Yaoyang calmed down, Xu Xingguang explained plainly, ”This national health screening is extensive and will certainly attract the attention of those behind the Corpse Centipede.”

”To facilitate controlling the Corpse Centipede, the masterminds assign each Corpse Centipede a unique program code at birth. Once they detect our intentions, they may wake up the Corpse Centipedes early and direct them to find other hosts. Therefore, I have decided to assign the task of isolating the hosts to you.”

”Only you are free from the risk of being parasitized by the Corpse Centipede.”

Jin Yaoyang was thrilled. ”Captain Xu, thank you for your promotion and trust; Jin Yaoyang will definitely complete this task!”

He chuckled, unable to stop his silly laughter, ”My grandmother has high hopes for me. She’s been waiting for me to benefit the people and do good deeds. At last, I have my place to shine.”

Influenced by Jin Yaoyang’s emotions, Xu Xingguang also felt much happier, and she said, ”Once you successfully complete the task, you can share your joy with your grandmother.”

”Definitely!”

Next, Xu Xingguang, accompanied by Jin Yunhai, went to visit the Minister of Health.

The Minister of Health had already received documents from the President’s Office, and he expressed full cooperation with Xu Xingguang and their research institute’s actions.

However, he did not know the core of Xu Xingguang’s research work, only that a new virus had appeared globally with significant dangers that required early identification of the virus source to quickly resolve the security crisis.

With the cooperation of the health department, Xia Country launched a nationwide citizen health screening.

The general public was unaware of the untold hidden dangers behind this health screening, and even members of prominent families knew nothing about it.

On this day, it was the Xiahou Family’s monthly family banquet.

Xiahou Shang and his wife, Zhang Zhiyi, returned to Tuo Ling Peak, first spending some time in his parents’ courtyard, waiting for his brother Xiahou Jin to return, and then heading together to the family dining hall for the gathering.

Recently, Xiahou Jin had been involved with a gorgeous actress, and their relationship was heating up. To please his girlfriend, he specially took her abroad for a big shopping spree.

He had just arrived at the airport and rushed back to Tuo Ling Peak.

No matter how reckless Xiahou Jin was, he wouldn’t dare miss the family gathering day.

Seeing Xiahou Jin return, carrying the scent of perfume, Zhang Yuyao disgustedly waved her hand, commenting on Xiahou Jin, ”Did you fall into a garden? You reek of fragrance.”

Xiahou Shang, showing no mercy to his brother, said, ”He recently hooked up with a female star from the entertainment industry.”

”Another new girlfriend?” Zhang Yuyao’s anger flared, ”Can’t you learn from your brother? Either don’t date, or when you do, find someone stable and reliable? Changing girlfriends so fast, you’ll end up sick!”

”Mom, are you my biological mom or not?” Xiahou Jin was furious at Zhang Yuyao’s last remark.

Zhang Zhiyi, listening quietly at the side, did not join in.

Although Xiahou Jin was a playboy, he never forced anyone. His flings with women were consensual exchanges of money for beauty; she offered no comment.

Just because Zhang Zhiyi didn’t speak, it didn’t mean she could escape Zhang Yuyao’s attention.

Zhang Yuyao turned to Zhang Zhiyi, bringing up an old topic again: ”You and the eldest are not young anymore. You’ve been married for several years, and the grandchildren of those who married the same year are already in kindergarten. When do you plan to have kids?”

Zhang Zhiyi, as a translator, was career-focused in recent years and genuinely didn’t want children.

Xiahou Shang had just secured his position as City Lord of Yujiang City, and he aimed to contend for the position of Continent Lord of the Eastern Continent, so he also didn’t want children for the time being.

Zhang Yuyao, unable to sway her son, vented her frustration on Zhang Zhiyi.

Like choosing soft targets, Zhang Yuyao could only pressure Zhang Zhiyi.

Xiahou Jin, seeing his mother direct her anger at his older brother and sister-in-law, felt relieved and even shot his brother a glancing look that said, ’It’s your turn to get scolded.’
