I Am Diagnosed as a Medical Titan

Chapter 384: Chapter 253: Shock the World (Part 3)

”Dignity is having the time to arrange everything with grace, even after you know the outcome.”

”When fighting a terminal illness, time is the most precious form of dignity. What Dr. Jiang gives his patients is never panic, but rather the dignity of choice. Thank you.”

As she finished speaking.

For two seconds, Turner Centennial Hall was utterly silent.

Then, applause even more thunderous than before erupted.

Camera flashes strobed wildly.

This time, the lenses were aimed not only at Jiang He, but at Shen Yu as well.

The reporters’ minds raced as countless story angles took shape.

Was there any story more perfect than this?

A top surgical genius, paired with his beautiful and brilliant fiancée, a psychologist.

On the highest stage of international academia, one proved himself with data and skill, while the other resolved an ethical dilemma with gentle strength.

’This is a match made in heaven!’

’They’re so damn shippable!’

The press conference was a resounding success; it had exceeded all expectations.

As the crowd gradually dispersed and began to mingle, Mr. Qian Yongjian walked up to Jiang He, leaning on his cane.

”Dr. Jiang, Ms. Shen.” Qian Yongjian smiled at the two of them.

Jiang He and Shen Yu immediately greeted him respectfully, ”Mr. Qian.”

”I came here just to see the data, but you’ve given me a tremendous surprise. Peripheral blood miRNA for early screening... if this project is validated in a large sample, you will absolutely be qualified to win the Lasker Award for clinical medical research, and even have a shot at the Nobel Prize.”

Jiang He smiled. ”Mr. Qian, more than any award, I just hope it can be implemented in China as soon as possible to truly help patients.”

Qian Yongjian nodded in approval. ”Humble and level-headed. Excellent. When you return to China, if you need any support, feel free to contact me at any time.”

After bidding farewell to Mr. Qian, Jiang He held Shen Yu’s hand and, led by Su Zhi, walked out of Turner Hall.

In Baltimore, the storm had passed. The sun was brilliant, and the accumulated snow was beginning to melt.

Jiang He knew with perfect clarity that today’s resounding success at the press conference brought more than just honor—it would usher in a whole new era.

「2008.」

Undercurrents of great-power competition were churning.

He and his team from China were making a strong debut in the field of biomedicine, an area long monopolized by the West.

The days ahead were sure to be anything but calm.

Foreign restrictions and technological blockades against China’s scientific research would only grow stricter.

Reagents, equipment, even channels for academic exchange—all could be cut off.

’Just look at the future AI blockade to see how it’ll be.’

’But that’s fine. Let them come.’

’My cheats have always been on; I’ve never turned them off.’

He did a quick mental calculation.

’By the time I get back to China, the specially-approved P3 laboratory should be nearly complete.’

’Once we get that massive upgrade and move into the new lab, I’ll immediately push forward with the eight-plasmid reverse genetics system.’

’While advancing the targeted drug for pancreatic cancer, I’ll use this project to break the monopoly and upgrade our equipment on the side.’

’One step at a time.’

’Everything is going according to plan.’

Shen Yu squeezed Jiang He’s hand and asked softly, ”Go?”

Jiang He smiled. ”Yeah. Let’s pack our bags and go home.”

We can finally go home.

’Fam, I’ve missed you all to death!’

’It’s the winter solstice, too. Time to wrap some dumplings!’

In truth, the rewards from this trip to Baltimore had already far exceeded anyone’s expectations.

Not only had he secured the rights to the SAP project and taken down the plagiarist Miller, but he’d also helped Wen Xuyang solve the hepatic encephalopathy case, publicly announced the miRNA early screening project, and even promoted his work on the targeted drug for pancreatic cancer.

And the intangible rewards were even greater.

He’d gotten to know a host of outstanding doctors, connected with Professor Weber and Young Master Duo, established a follow-up with Charite Medical School, and even befriended Elder Qian, paving the way for a future Nobel Prize!

And this was far from the end of it.

Back home, the leadership had also prepared a surprise for Jiang He.

—a huge surprise.
