Chapter 757 - 293: The Crown Prince Becomes Her Follower (6,000 Bonus Words)_2

Just as the wine glass was set down, Elder Tan Nan leaned over to explain, "The gentleman who just toasted you is Sharpes, the director of the Eastern Alliance Hospital. He is an authority in the medical field of the Eastern Alliance."

"Is he also a Super Power User?" When Xu Xingguang asked this, he already had an answer in his heart.

"Yes, he is a Super Power User. The specific superpower is unknown, but it should not be an ordinary superpower." Elder Tan Nan had some understanding of the Eastern Alliance’s medical field, but she did not know much about Sharpes.

Learning that the other party was the director of the Eastern Alliance Medical College, Xu Xingguang’s eyes deepened slightly, murmuring, "So he is the director of Qu Yanling’s alma mater."

Elder Tan Nan’s gaze tightened.

Qu Yanling has been wreaking havoc in the Mortal World, researching various mutant viruses. Can anyone say she didn’t have the support of the Eastern Alliance behind her?

As the director of the Eastern Alliance Medical College where Qu Yanling was, could Sharpes truly be unaware of the Eastern Alliance’s plots and plans for the Mortal World? Could he be unaware of the role of Qu Yanling as a pawn?

Elder Tan Nan even suspected that Sharpes had a hand in Qu Yanling’s research into mutant viruses.

Otherwise, how else would the same type of mutant biochemical weapon appear simultaneously in two unrelated worlds?

Elder Tan Nan put down her knife and fork, her mind heavy with concerns.

Seeing Elder Tan Nan stand up, City Lord Jin followed suit.

"City Lord Jin, since Young Master Jin has already turned the corner, we still need to return to plant the medicinal field, so we’ll take our leave. No need to see us off, City Lord Jin."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang obediently stood up, ready to leave with Elder Tan Nan.

City Lord Jin stood up to see them off nonetheless.

At the entrance of the City Lord Mansion, Elder Tan Nan casually mentioned to City Lord Jin, "Why would the esteemed director of the Eastern Alliance Medical College travel such long distances to come here?"

City Lord Jin knew that the traditional doctors from the Yu Alliance and the modern doctors from the Eastern Alliance never got along well and often exchanged barbs at the exchanges.

Hearing Elder Tan Nan specifically mention Sharpes, City Lord Jin didn’t think much of it and replied honestly, "Three years ago, when I took Jin Nuo’an to the Eastern Alliance Hospital for a check-up, it was the director who personally received us. This time, the director happens to visit the Central Yu Alliance for a medical exchange. Upon hearing that Doctor Xu has the ability to cure my son’s condition, he came over to join the excitement."

"I see."

Elder Tan Nan was ready to leave with Xu Xingguang.

But City Lord Jin was quite the considerate person, having the steward early on bring over a gratitude gift for Xu Xingguang—a prepaid card worth ten million silver coins and some precious jewelry favored by girls.

"Doctor Xu, An Shen Wood Resin is a precious medicinal material that has long disappeared. You used several drops to save Nu’an today. Your benevolence truly impresses me, Jin."

"I, Jin, may not have many good things, but I have plenty of money. This ten million silver coin and these little baubles are prepared as my token of appreciation for your hard work. I hope Doctor Xu won’t disdain them."

Xu Xingguang accepted the gratitude gift without hesitation and got into the car with Elder Tan Nan.

Seeing her accept, City Lord Jin’s face lit up with a broad smile.

In the car, Elder Tan Nan glanced at the pile of pricey jewelry in Xu Xingguang’s arms and laughed, "I thought you wouldn’t accept his gratitude gift."

"Saving lives is part of our duty, but it’s only right for the family members to give a token of appreciation when the patient is cured." Xu Xingguang casually picked up a deep purple gemstone necklace from the large box, saying, "These things are nice; they should be saved for my future daughter and daughter-in-law."

Elder Tan Nan was amused by her.

But thinking of Jin Nuo’an being infested by a mutant biochemical weapon, she could no longer laugh. "Xingguang, do you think the incident with the Jin family boy is a coincidence?"

"Granny Nan, there’s no such thing as so many coincidences in this world. You already know the answer in your heart, don’t you?" She believed that someone as clever as Elder Tan Nan must have already guessed the terrifying truth hidden behind this event.

Elder Tan Nan furrowed her brows tightly.

"I must find time to return to Medicine King City."

This is no small matter, and she needed to go back to Medicine King City to convey the message.

Xu Xingguang fondled the pigeon egg-sized gemstone in her hand but said, "Granny Nan, how can you be so sure that the management of Medicine King City and the Central Yu Alliance are truly clean?"

Elder Tan Nan was filled with alarm.

She wanted to refute Xu Xingguang, but at the thought that spies from the Eastern Alliance had to pass through the Ying Family in the Mortal World to enter it, she hesitated.

However, for so many years, the Ying Family in the Mortal World had never reported this matter.
