Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 699: Arrogant Qi

Of course, the Japanese delegation had already reaped considerable benefits from their time at the research institute. However, without obtaining what they coveted the most, they showed no intentions of leaving. They forced the research group members to work under the guise of assisting with research, with the current workload being several times greater than it had been before.

Although the members of the research group felt extremely fatigued, without Xiao Yifei’s presence, they still made no progress on critical areas—a fact that was gratifying in its own right. Nevertheless, such a state of affairs could not persist indefinitely.

After all, the Japanese delegation could extend their stay in Huaxia indefinitely, and under the pretext of providing research assistance, they showed up daily without contributing much, all the while being comfortably accommodated. They might endure this, but the research group simply could not.

"Hmph."

As Liu Shengchuan aimlessly wandered around the research institute, the sight of the research group members’ exhaustion prompted him to let out a cold snort, his lips curling into a sinister smile. After all, he believed that the Huaxians had brought all of this upon themselves!

Recalling the losses he had suffered at the hands of Xiao Yifei, and thinking of the delegation member who still remained in the hospital, Liu Shengchuan’s heart filled with resentment.

However, the thought of Xiao Yifei still inspired a sense of fear in him. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The situation between the two sides remained at a deadlock until that day when Xiao Yifei’s figure appeared in the research institute.

"Xiao Yi, you’re finally here."

As Xiao Yifei entered the gates of the research institute, he happened to meet Nangong Weiguo coming out. The moment Nangong Weiguo saw Xiao Yifei, a gleam of hope sparked in his weary eyes. He rushed over like a man spotting a lifesaver and grabbed Xiao Yifei by the arm.

"Xiao Yi, you’ve finally come!"

Clearly, Nangong Weiguo’s previous remark wasn’t enough to convey the excitement he felt inside. He emphasized his words to Xiao Yifei, repeating what he had just said and making Xiao Yifei acutely aware of the strength of Nangong Weiguo’s grip.

"You have no idea how that group of Japanese delegates has been tormenting us!"

Nangong Weiguo gripped Xiao Yifei tightly, his voice quivering as he spoke, "When the Japanese delegation first arrived, we had already heard about some incidents—how you helped vent our frustrations by breaking one of their member’s legs. Our hearts felt so relieved by that."

"Even after they arrived, we thought of following your example and teaching those freeloaders a lesson. But before we could act, they started bullying us mercilessly, and it has continued until now!"

With a downcast look, Nangong Weiguo poured out his grievances to Xiao Yifei, "I even feel like I don’t want to do this job anymore—if it wasn’t for the difficulty in applying for this project, I would have quit already!"

As a professor, Nangong Weiguo typically carried himself with pride and was generally very strong-willed. To imagine him, now driven to such a state by the delegation, indicated just how outrageous their behavior had been.

"It’s one thing to overwork people, but bullying and infuriating us—this is something we truly cannot tolerate!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, his complexion turning a shade of red.

Nangong Weiguo was now seeing Xiao Yifei as a lifeline; otherwise, he would not have grabbed Xiao Yifei and poured out his troubles at the doorstep of the research institute. To admit to being bullied by the Japanese delegation was also not easy for a man.

Originally, Xiao Yifei had won over everyone at the research institute with his strength, and despite their admiration for him, the well-known professors of Huaxia were still concerned about face. Professors with seniority like Nangong Weiguo had always addressed Xiao Yifei as Xiao Yi. But today, Nangong Weiguo held Xiao Yifei and shared so much, which showed just how detestable the Japanese delegation had been.

"Isn’t it just because they’ve got the support of the authorities? What gives them the right to be so arrogant, to continue this so-called exchange and study, and to claim they’re guiding the advancement of Huaxia medicine? They do nothing all day, like some kind of lords, and even had the nerve to have me pour tea for them. Can you believe it... can you believe how infuriating that is!"

When it came to this matter, Wei Guo couldn’t help but tremble.

"Professor Wei, don’t be angry, I’m back now, aren’t I?"

Xiao Yifei, seeing Wei Guo like this, could even more understand the pompous and overbearing attitude of the Japan delegation. Xiao Yifei even had a sneaking suspicion that the delegation’s unabashed behavior was partly related to the time he had broken one of their members’ legs.

It could be said that Wei Guo and the research group had taken on quite a few things on behalf of Xiao Yifei.

However, the fact that Wei Guo trusted Xiao Yifei so much at this moment further demonstrated Xiao Yifei’s capabilities and the trust that Wei Guo and his team had in Xiao Yifei.

"Don’t worry, Professor Wei, there’s no need for you to be angry, I’ll make sure to handle this matter well. I won’t let you suffer this injustice in vain!"

He looked at Wei Guo and said earnestly.

You must understand that Xiao Yifei knew full well why Wei Guo, despite being a professor and suffering such huge indignities, still chose not to leave and even other members of the institute hadn’t left either.

Apart from the fact that they had been working on this project for a long time and did not want to see their efforts go to waste, a larger reason was the immense effort and pressure Nangong had put into this research project. If the team members were to leave and the project was suspended, the likelihood of it being restarted was virtually zero.

So despite their great grievances, they were still persisting and, fortunately, today they saw Xiao Yifei again.

"Xiao kid, you have to... you really need to deal with those bastards sooner rather than later!"

Wei Guo, looking at Xiao Yifei, even swore, "And I also can’t figure out why those brainless government officials just play the fool? They don’t regard their own country’s people at all, treating the members of the Japan delegation like royalty every single day!"

The indignant Wei Guo looked like his white hair was about to stand on end.

"Professor Wei, rest assured."

Xiao Yifei slightly narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint suddenly flashed through them, and he grinned somewhat grimly, "Now that I’m back, this matter will definitely be handled properly! After all, they’ve had it good for quite some time!"

Now hearing from Professor Wei,

"Let’s go, Professor Wei, let’s go to the institute and see just how arrogant this Japan delegation has been in the days I’ve been away."

After finishing speaking with a smile to Wei Guo, Xiao Yifei turned around and headed upstairs.

Seeing Xiao Yifei’s demeanor, Wei Guo was stunned for a moment. His mouth opened and closed, clearly casting a shadow over the current state of the Japan delegation’s laboratory. But looking at Xiao Yifei’s departing figure, Wei Guo finally gritted his teeth and followed Xiao Yifei upstairs.
