Chapter 75: Destined by History

"I want to stop."

"This is not okay, Dean. Besides, it is already too late. Some people have already begun to question Angelia Technology. You should know what to do, right?"

"I said, I want to stop. Since you added those drugs, my patient's condition has begun to worsen. Didn't you say that this is a special agent that can cure fungal infections?"

"We added a little bit of virus, that's all. The only one to blame is you for being greedy for money in the first place. Don't worry, it's just a bit of virus, isn't it?"

"But it doesn't matter. I will have a lot of money in the future anyway. I will clean up the data before the disaster starts. I will lie to them at the press conference later that a new type of fungus is attacking. Our company is the only one in this city that has submitted files to the government.

Of course, the rights will be handed over after modification, humph..." The dean smiled greedily, and he counted the money in more than a dozen large boxes on the stage.

"Jessica, is your father's illness getting better?" Qiao Na, the head teacher, asked with concern.

She shook her head. In the past two days, Jessica had been taking care of her father at home. Since her mother passed away early, only the father and daughter were left to depend on each other. She didn't sleep a wink for two days in a row. Seeing that her father's illness was getting worse, she advised her to

She went to the hospital with her father, but he was unwilling. Indeed, her family did not have much money left. Her father was fired a few months ago and is now ill again. The burden of supporting the family falls on her, a 19-year-old girl.

"I want to... drop out of school."

When Qiaona heard these words, she was surprised. Jessica's grades had always been among the best in her grade. She was really shocked to hear that she had dropped out of school.

"Thank you for your cultivation, but for me, my father is what I care about the most."

An application for withdrawal from school was handed to Qiao Na, and Jessica walked out of the office. Qiao Na didn't look back no matter how she shouted.

"Boss, check out." Jessica handed over $50.

"Miss, potassium iodide solution is now US$60 a bottle, the price has increased." The ugly girl at the cashier said.

"I'm sorry, I don't have enough money now. Can I give you another 10 dollars tomorrow?"

"No money? If you still want to buy medicine without money, get out." The ugly girl yelled.

"Please, my father needs it urgently."

Jessica's plea still did not move the ugly girl. She walked out of the drugstore in despair, and was knocked down by a strong man unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Li Moyang stretched out his hand to pull Jessica up, but he didn't expect Jessica to cry.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." Li Moyang became anxious now.

"Lend me $10." Jessica asked Li Moyang for money with tears in her eyes.

Li Moyang took out his wallet, found $10 and handed it to Jessica.

Jessica went to the drugstore and bought potassium iodide solution.

"You have a fungal infection too?"

"It's my dad. His condition is getting worse and worse. I really don't know what to do."

Seeing Jessica's lost look, Li Moyang didn't ask any questions. As far as he knew, more and more people were infected with fungi in this city, and the news also mentioned it. Anyway, Li Moyang could still accompany the beauty for a walk.

"Wow..." A middle-aged man with a face covered with microspores rushed towards Li Moyang.

Due to the slow speed of the middle-aged man, Li Moyang simply took a step back and easily dodged it.

Jessica was not frightened when she saw it. It seemed that she had already seen this symptom.

"Help...help me...I uh-huh." Li Moyang could tell from the man's movements and expression that he was in great pain. Blood mixed with saliva flowed out of his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"My father is like this too, could he too..." Jessica turned around and ran away. She prayed to God not to let her father become like that. She had never believed in the existence of God before.

Li Moyang couldn't let a girl leave alone, so he had no choice but to follow Jessica.

"Dad, Dad, I'm back." Jessica opened the door hard. She didn't even take off her shoes or close the door, and went straight to her father's bedroom.

Li Moyang looked at the house. It was very old and ugly, and he could smell the musty smell of the old house from time to time.

"You...you're back..." The middle-aged man lying on the bed turned his head to look at his daughter with difficulty.

"I bought some medicine and I'll feed it to you." Jessica didn't mind the spores on her father's face and fed him some potassium iodide and other medicines.

"Watch TV for a while, and I'll give you a cup of tea." As she said this, Jessica turned on the old TV, and it took a few seconds for the screen to be blurred before she could see clearly.

"Mr. Leila, what do you think of the fungal infection storm in Lexus?" the reporter asked.

"This is a very special kind of sporotrichosis. According to our research, it should be a new species."

"So how is the progress of your drug research?" Another reporter squeezed into the crowd and asked.

"We are doing our best to research the antidote, and the progress is very fast. We believe that patients who are suffering from pain will be completely cured soon."

"So what do you think of the new fungus species?"

"I don't think it will be rampant for long because our company is here!"

After saying this, the crowd burst into cheers.

Li Moyang wanted to turn off the TV, but the remote control didn't seem to respond. At this time, Jessica brought a cup of cheap tea.

"Thank you very much." Li Moyang smiled and nodded to Jessica to express his gratitude, and then drank the tea in one gulp. Cheap tea just tastes bad.

Li Moyang stood up and said, "I think I should go."

"It's time for me to go out for something to eat. I'll pack it back and pay you 10 dollars by the way." Jessica took out the dollars from the drawer with numerous scratches and gave half of them to Li Moyang.

"No need to pay it back, it's not easy for you. If you are interested, let's have lunch together." Li Moyang pushed the money back into Jessica's bag.

Jessica nodded and returned to the previous journey. At this time, the middle-aged man who had just attacked Li Moyang was fighting with several policemen. One policeman was bitten by the man and a piece of flesh was ripped out of his arm. Soon the man was killed by the police.

Killed with a gun and shot several times in the head.

When he came to the restaurant, Li Moyang had no appetite since he saw the man's disgusting spores.

"Two orders of pasta."

"Thank you for coming. The total is 180 U.S. dollars. I charge you 0 U.S. dollars and ask you for U.S. dollars."

They randomly found a seat and sat on the chairs without speaking. Jessica soon broke the silence between the two.

"90 dollars a serving, so expensive." She only occasionally ate such expensive food when her father was rich.

"I just come here to eat occasionally."

"I'm so worried that my dad will become like that, and he will be the only one left to me." Jessica said with jealousy.

"Probably not, my name is Li Moyang, Mignon Li, what about you?"

"Jessica Bennet."
