You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Outside the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Jiangcheng Central Hospital.

The corridor was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant and an atmosphere of oppressive sadness.

Zhong's family members and several students surrounded the glass wall of the ICU, their faces filled with anxiety and despair.

A man in his forties, wearing a white lab coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and with slicked-back hair, was giving the family members his final verdict with an arrogant and condescending attitude, his hands behind his back.

He is Zhang Qiming, the director of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Municipal Central Hospital, a medical doctor who recently returned from an exchange program at the Mayo Clinic in the United States.

Please accept my condolences, everyone.

Director Zhang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone carrying a perfunctory sympathy.

"We have done everything we can to help with Mr. Zhong's condition."

"According to our state-of-the-art testing equipment, his symptoms are an extremely rare case of 'early-onset systemic aging syndrome,' which, simply put, means that his body organs are naturally failing at a rate dozens of times faster than normal."

"There are only a handful of recorded cases of this disease worldwide, and with the current level of modern medicine, it is completely irreversible."

He shrugged, a hint of elite helplessness on his face that said, "I've done my best, but I'm powerless to change anything."

"I suggest you... prepare for your funeral."

These words struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer blow.

Mr. Zhong's wife's legs went weak on the spot, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

"teacher!"

Jiang Tingxue pulled Lin Chen along and jogged over.

When Director Zhang saw Jiang Tingxue, his brows relaxed slightly, but when his gaze fell on Lin Chen beside Jiang Tingxue, his brows furrowed again instantly.

Lin Chen was dressed casually, looking like a college student who hadn't graduated yet, which was completely out of place with the solemn atmosphere here.

"Tingxue, why are you only arriving now?"

Director Zhang's tone carried a hint of an elder reprimanding a younger person, and then he looked Lin Chen up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Who is this?"

"Director Zhang, this is my friend Lin Chen. He... he is a very skilled doctor. I would like to ask him to take a look at my teacher's condition."

Jiang Tingxue said urgently.

"Is your medical skill very excellent?"

Director Zhang chuckled as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Tingxue, are you out of your mind? Him? A kid who hasn't even grown a white coat yet, and whose hair hasn't even turned white?"

His voice suddenly rose, and he pointed at Lin Chen with disdain.

"Look at him! Does he even have a medical license? Do he know where he is? This is the ICU! The forefront of modern medicine! Not some shamanistic charades or child's play in your traditional Chinese medicine clinics!"

His sense of superiority almost overflowed from behind his glasses.

"Nonsense!"

He suddenly waved his hand and shouted at the two security guards not far away.

"Security! Get this intruder out of here! Don't let him interfere with our work!"

Two security guards immediately came over and surrounded Lin Chen with unfriendly expressions.

Jiang Tingxue blushed with anxiety and was about to argue when Lin Chen raised his hand to stop her.

Lin Chen didn't even glance at the jumping-around Director Zhang from beginning to end.

His gaze pierced through the thick glass wall and landed on the elderly man in the hospital bed, whose body was covered in tubes and whose vital signs were weak.

[Divine Insight], now activated!

[God-level Biology Mastery], now unlocked!

In an instant, in Lin Chen's vision, Elder Zhong's body transformed into a semi-transparent three-dimensional image composed of countless cells and gene sequences.

Blood flow rate, cell apoptosis rate, mitochondrial energy output power, and even abnormal transcription of a specific segment on the DNA double helix... all microscopic life information flooded into his brain in the form of data streams.

He had already drawn a conclusion after just one glance.

His guess was correct.

Only then did Lin Chen slowly turn his head and look at Director Zhang, who was still rambling on, with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

"What did you just say? Natural failure?"

Lin Chen sneered, his laughter filled with disdain and mockery.

"Those diplomas of yours with foreign language printing, did you buy them in a basement in some Chinatown?"

One sentence silenced the entire corridor instantly.

Director Zhang's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting! Who do you think you are, daring to question my professional judgment!"

"major?"

Lin Chen took a step forward, and the terrifying aura he had honed in countless life-and-death battles instantly erupted, causing the two security guards who were about to make a move to subconsciously take a step back.

He pointed at Old Zhong in the glass wall, his voice not loud, but every word was like a cold scalpel, precisely dissecting Director Zhang's ridiculous "professional" facade.

"Dr. Chung's liver mucosa exhibits typical dark purple patches at the cellular level, a characteristic of irreversible degeneration of heme within liver cells under the influence of specific toxins!"

"Although his overall heart rate is low, there are slight pauses of no more than 0.05 seconds at the 17th, 38th, and 51st seconds of each minute. This is an electrophysiological disorder caused by the forced blockage of potassium ion channels in myocardial cells by exogenous proteins!"

"Furthermore, the activity of his T lymphocytes in his blood is only three percent of that of a normal person! This isn't an immune system failure; it's a precise elimination by a molecular weapon specifically targeting the 'CD4+' receptor!"

With each word Lin Chen spoke, Director Zhang's face paled a little more.

Because the data Lin Chen provided was even more accurate than what he could read from the most sophisticated instruments!

Some of the data is even undetectable by modern instruments!

"Based on all the above symptoms, there is only one conclusion."

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened like a knife, fixing intently on Director Zhang's face.

"What Zhong Laozhong was hit with was an 'RNA sequence interferon' specifically used for gene assassination!"

"Someone used a special vector to inject a synthetically produced RNA fragment that can interfere with the synthesis of key proteins into his body, effectively shutting off his body's 'life switch' at the genetic level!"

"You're a quack doctor who can't even distinguish between apoptosis and necrosis. It's one thing if you can't tell the difference, but you dare to spout nonsense here, wasting precious time for treatment?"

"I ask you, are you even qualified to talk about medicine?!"

The final question left Director Zhang's mind blank.

He opened his mouth, unable to utter a single word, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He was about to refute it with his limited knowledge.

Just then!

"Beep—!!!"

In the ward, the electrocardiogram monitor connected to Mr. Zhong suddenly emitted a piercing, flat alarm that signified death!

On the screen, the undulating curve of life had turned into a cold, flat straight line!
