Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“What did you talk to yourself for?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao as he heard w.a.n.g Yao talking to the system.

“Are there any well-known doctors in town?” asked w.a.n.g Yao without thinking.

“Well-known doctor?” said w.a.n.g Mingbao with surprise. “Why are you asking? Aren’t you a well-known doctor yourself?”

“Me? No, I’m not. I mean any well-known doctors recognized by the government,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Oh, those doctors. You mean those so-called experts on TV all the time? Or whose pictures we’re sticking on the wall?” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Hmmm, no. I mean doctors selected by medical authority,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Well, I’m not actually sure what you are talking about. Why are you asking me about this?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“I’m just curious,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“You can ask Pan Jun when we get back to town,” said w.a.n.g Mingao.

“Okay,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

The two of them were kept in a clinical room. There were guards outside the room. w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao felt they were like prisoners.

“I don’t feel well,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Just be patient, I think someone will bring us out soon,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Who will do that?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Dr. Long,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Him?” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Yes, he should have been aware that there was something wrong with him,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Dr. Long had, in fact, become aware of something wrong with him. He realized this because he noticed his legs had gotten out of control after very few steps. He tended to fall a lot, which really scared the h.e.l.l out of him. However, he was an experienced doctor. He had seen so many patients with different medical conditions. After calming down, he asked his a.s.sistant to bring him a wheelchair.

“Chief, what’s wrong with you?” His a.s.sistant was surprised when looking at him.

Even though only one day had pa.s.sed, Dr. Long’s face was already swelling up like a balloon, as if he was beaten with a bag over his head. In addition, he looked exhausted, as if he aged three years in one day.

“Let’s get out of here first,” said Dr. Long.

“Okay,” said his a.s.sistant.

The a.s.sistant helped Dr. Long get into the wheelchair, then got him into the car.

“Where are we going, Chief?” asked the a.s.sistant.

“Bingzhou,” said Dr. Long.

“Okay,” said his a.s.sistant.

Dr. Long wanted to figure out what happened to him as soon as possible. He wanted to know why his body suddenly lost control. As for w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao, who had already been taken into quarantine, he temporarily forgot about them.

Ding! Om!

w.a.n.g Yao’s phone rang.

“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g.” It was Chen Boyuan.

“h.e.l.lo,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Have you been back from Qinzhou?” asked Chen Boyuan.

“Not yet, I have a small problem here,” said w.a.n.g Yao as he walked to the window and looked outside.

“Small problem? What happened? Do you need me to do anything?” asked Chen Boyuan.

“Not now, I’ll just wait a little while longer,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Boyuan walked back and forth in the room for a while, then went out.

“Professor Chen, I just heard a news that w.a.n.g Yao and his friend have been put into quarantine as per a request from Dr. Long,” said Chen Jingzhi’s a.s.sistant.

“What!?” Chen Jingzhi was dazed for a moment after hearing the news. “Because Dr. Long suspects they are infected?”

“Yeah,” said his a.s.sistant.

“Nonsense. They had been cleaned before leaving the village. Why should they be isolated? Obviously Dr. Long is abusing his power,” said Chen Jingzhi.

“There is another thing. I heard Dr. Long went to Bingzhou today. He’s sick,” said his a.s.sistant.

“Sick? I hope he hasn’t got infected,” said Chen Jingzhi.

“I don’t think so. He went to the town hospital in Jia County because he kept falling. He came out of the hospital in a wheelchair,” said his a.s.sistant.

The news of Dr. Long being ill travelled fast, especially in the medical field. Dr. Long and Chen Jingzhi were both prominent doctors, who attracted a lot of attention. Dr. Long’s visit to Jia County hospital was soon spread out by some observant and conscientious person.

“How come he suddenly went to the hospital and needed a wheelchair?” asked Chen Jingzhi. “By the way, where are w.a.n.g Yao and his friend being held?”

“In the isolated clinical room of Jia County hospital,” said the a.s.sistant.

“Okay, I’ll go and see them,” said Chen Jingzhi.

Soon he arrived and immediately went to see w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao in the isolated clinical room.

“I’m sorry.” He apologized as soon as he saw w.a.n.g Yao.

“You don’t need to apologize to us. You are not the person who put us here,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile.

Chen Jingzhi didn’t say much. He contacted relevant personnel right away and signed w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao out of the isolated clinical room.

“Thank you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Then Chen Jingzhi invited w.a.n.g Yao to his office.

“The water gra.s.s you gave us had proved to be effective in treating the infection. We’ve started to grow the water gra.s.s in a big scale. It’s entirely thanks to you that we have been able to control and contain the disease,” said Chen Jingzhi.

He had no doubt that w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao hadn’t been infected, because w.a.n.g Yao was the one who gave him the water gra.s.s.

“Glad it worked,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Since the department has started to grow the water gra.s.s on a large scale, it would only be a matter of time to stop the disease from spreading.

“Can I ask…how did you find out that the water gra.s.s could treat the disease?” asked Chen Jingzhi.

“Hmmm, it’s a long story,” said w.a.n.g Yao, smiling.

He briefly talked about why he came to the village in the first place, how he found that the water in the wells had a problem, and how he found that the water gra.s.s might be able to treat those infected people.

“Sorry,” said Chen Jingzhi after keeping silent for a while. He looked serious and apologized again.

“Why did you apologize again?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“I’m sincerely sorry because I misunderstood you at the beginning,” said Chen Jingzhi. w.a.n.g Yao was surprised to heard it.

“Misunderstand me? Why?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Let’s not talk about this. I really admire what you have done,” said Chen Jingzhi.

w.a.n.g Yao’s face turned red. He was a bit embarra.s.sed.

“One more thing, that Dr. Long provided us with a formula, which was also effective in treating the disease. If I’m not wrong, the formula should have come from you,” said Chen Jingzhi.

“Yes,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Hmmm, that guy is really shameless,” said Chen Jingzhi.

“Right, I also think he’s shameless, and he’s got what he deserved,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Hmmm, got what he deserved?” said Chen Jingzhi with confusion.

“Yes, did you know that that shameless old b.a.s.t.a.r.d stopped us on our way back after we had left the village, then invited us for dinner,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Dinner?” Chen Jingzhi was surprised, but he understood what had happened immediately. “Did he ask Dr. w.a.n.g for more formulas?”

“Exactly!” said w.a.n.g Mingbao, smiling.

“Seriously?” said Chen Jingzhi.

“Yes,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“I think I underestimated him,” said Chen Jingzhi in disgust.

“What’s happening to him proves that even G.o.d can’t stand that shameless guy. So he’s got what he deserved,” said w.a.n.g Mingao.

“He went to the hospital because he invited you guys for dinner?” asked Chen Jingzhi.

“You know about that?” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Yeah, I heard he came out of the hospital in a wheelchair today,” said Chen Jingzhi.

“Wheelchair? Hahaha!” w.a.n.g Mingbao laughed. He felt really happy. “Great! That’s great!” He couldn’t help clapping his hands.

“It’s a shame I didn’t see what he was like in the hospital. I wish I could ask him how he felt,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“I suppose his condition is going to last for a while,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“What do you want to do with the formula you gave him?” asked Chen Jingzhi.

Dr. Long had not only claimed owners.h.i.+p of the formula to the Health Department, but he had also said it in front of the media in a press conference. He had even negotiated a price with a large pharmaceutical company to sell the formula and they had reached an agreement. It was basically not possible for w.a.n.g Yao to claim the owners.h.i.+p of the formula.

“He will regret about what he has done,” said w.a.n.g Yao calmly.

“I hope so. Let me know if there is anything I can help,” said Chen Jingzhi.

“Thank you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

He and w.a.n.g Mingbao stayed in Chen Jingzhi’s office for a short while longer before they left. They picked up their vehicle, then got on the way back home.

“We don’t see young men like him often these days,” Chen Jingzhi mused about w.a.n.g Yao.

“What? I don’t have anything wrong with me?” Dr. Long was shocked and scared after getting the result of medical examination.

“Yes, you seem to be quite healthy,” said the doctor.

“How? Why do I keep falling when I’m walking?” said Dr. Long.

“Well…” That doctor didn’t know how to answer the question.

“Fine, I’ll go to a different hospital,” said Dr. Long.

Long Yunfei felt depressed after he came out of the hospital.

This was Bingzhou hospital, one of the best hospitals in Qinzhou.

“Chief, why don’t you go to the provincial hospital?” Long Yunfei’s a.s.sistant didn’t understand why Long Yunfei didn’t take advantage of a better hospital and came instead to Bingzhou hospital.

“You don’t understand,” said Long Yunfei as he shook his hand.

He had worked for provincial hospital for years, then was transferred to the provincial centre for disease control and prevention. He had a strong connection with the provincial hospital, but also had enemies.

“Anyway, our priority is to find out what is wrong with your body,” said his a.s.sistant.

“Right, let’s go,” said Long Yunfei.

It had started to get dark outside.

w.a.n.g Yao had driven the car onto the highway.

“Should we keep going or find a place to stay overnight?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“I don’t mind either way,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
