Two days later, after much coordination, Yu Lian finally met with Dr. Kui and Professor Tao.
"Long time no see, boss. You seem to be doing quite well back in your hometown."
Yu Lian had absolutely no energy left to joke with this old rascal.
"Alright, can't you see your boss is working herself to death? Who's going to pay your salary if she dies?"
"That's true. We brought the medicine, but based on what we've learned along the way, it's not targeted; it can only relieve symptoms, not cure the problem."
"You two rest first, and wait..."
"No need, I slept enough on the way. The sooner we find the source, the better. Have you prepared the necessary equipment for us?"
"I'll hurry, it's not that easy, there's still a bit to go."
Yu Lian discussed her ideas with two professionals and quickly obtained data to support them.
The two professors also found a new direction, as if a huge conspiracy was about to be uncovered.
The pharmacy was still packed with people, and some had even set up makeshift tents in the alley to make it easier to queue for medicine.
The two walked and observed, occasionally squatting down to talk to the patient.
The once bustling street now resembles a temporary shelter.
Thanks to the distribution of the spiritual spring water, the epidemic has been alleviated in recent days. However, the virus is spreading rapidly, and quarantine points have been set up throughout the city.
The government's medical team visited the pharmacy several times to learn from their experience.
Old Jiang slept for less than two hours last night, as he had to see patients and train a large number of doctors at the same time.
The key point is that this disease cannot be taken lightly; taking the wrong medication could worsen the symptoms.
Fortunately, the clinic had a few more helpers, and the flow of patients was dispersed, giving him time to catch his breath.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Shi."
"It's not hard work. You didn't even call me earlier, otherwise I would have come much sooner."
Yu Lian chuckled – if they had come earlier, the two of them would have been arguing incessantly.
Although both practice traditional Chinese medicine, there are clashes and frictions between their respective schools of thought. The two old men are somewhat unconvinced of each other, and they haven't spoken to each other for the past two days.
Yu Lian led the two professors into the pharmacy. There were seven or eight beds in the back, where the most seriously ill patients were isolated.
The two professors, fully equipped with protective gear, collected some samples that needed to be tested with the help of the pharmacy clerk.
Without lingering, Yu Lian had the two professors escorted away.
There's no high-precision equipment here, so it will take at least a week for the results to come out.
The truth was just as she thought, and even more complicated.
About two weeks later, looking at the ambiguous report in her hand, Yu Lian didn't know what to say.
"It's a virus I've never seen before, and it's extremely contagious. Although we haven't fully understood this virus yet, it's almost certain that there was human intervention involved."
The conspiracy theory was proven true, and Yu Lian felt a chill run down her spine.
"I understand. If the antidote cannot be developed, notify them to increase production as soon as possible."
In nearly a month, this rapidly spreading epidemic has affected more than a dozen provinces and cities.
Nationwide movement of people is now strictly prohibited, and checkpoints have been set up in various places, with increasingly stringent management.
Yu Lian was extremely busy every day, and she lost a lot of weight.
That afternoon, she returned home.
He Ningze and Ya Ya were squatting in the yard observing ants when they saw their mother return and quickly pounced on them.
Yu Lian dodged away: "Mom's not clean, don't touch me."
Yu Lian's voice made the people in the inner room peek out.
"Sis, have you eaten?"
"I've already eaten. I came back to pack my things; I won't be staying here for a long time. Remember not to wander around; some people in our alley have already been infected."
Yu Xin looked at her sister with concern: "Sis, can't you not go? There are so many people there."
"Oh, don't worry, I've been fine for so many days, and I won't be either. Every place needs a leader, otherwise things will get chaotic. Take good care of the children, especially Xiaoyou. The herbal soup I gave you, the whole family must drink it every day."
Yu Xin reluctantly agreed and turned to go inside to find her parents.
The two rushed out and saw that their daughter was exhausted. Before she could even sit down to rest and have a drink of water, she started packing her luggage to leave.
"Have a meal before you leave."
"No, I have to go to the government right away to discuss building a pharmaceutical factory. We can't delay, the virus is spreading too fast."
Wang Meixia turned away to wipe her tears: "Why are you so stubborn?"
Yu Jinbu offered a few words of comfort, then turned to his daughter and said, "Dad supports you. Our Yu family has always been dedicated to protecting our country, and the same principle applies now, except the enemy is an invisible virus! Be careful in everything you do, protect yourself, don't be reckless, health is the foundation of everything."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourselves and the children."
"Mom! I don't want you to leave!"
Yu Lian dodged away: "Hehe, Mommy has to go, you can't touch Mommy."
She made a big mistake by returning so abruptly during this period.
Now she had to be on guard. She didn't know if the virus was evolving too quickly, or if the enemy lurking in the shadows was moving too fast. In any case, she was no longer sure if her constitution, nourished by the spiritual spring for so long, could still resist.
Be careful, be extremely careful, until the answer is revealed.
"I'm leaving now. Stay put and don't run around. If you do what you did last time, Mommy will be angry. Yaya, watch over your brother."
"Okay, Auntie! I'm a big kid, I won't cry! I'll call Grandpa if I miss him."
Yu Lian nodded: "Ya Ya is right! Mom and Dad, remember to take good care of yourselves."
After closing the door, He Ningze lost his spirit and went back to the main room to lie down on the sofa.
"Grandpa, I want to go home."
"Okay, Grandpa will take you back once the train service starts."
"I want my mom to come back with me."
"Okay, once the train service resumes, Mom will take you back. If you get tired, take a nap. Your mom will be back in a couple of days."
Suddenly, something popped into He Ningze's mind, and he perked up, standing up to make a phone call.
Yu Jinbu dialed her grandson's number, but it took a long time before the call was transferred to He Lin.
"Feed?"
"Why haven't you come to pick Mom up yet?"
He Lin paused for a second, then said, "You want me to take your mother home?"
He Ningze hummed in agreement, "Of course. Come and take Mom home, let's go back together. Don't stay here, and never come back. It's not fun here."
He Lin looked at the scenery along the river and put down his coffee.
"Sure, but it'll have to wait a couple of days."
Why?
"I can't get in." These words sounded flimsy and unconvincing, especially considering He Lin's tone...
He Ningze panicked: "You're lying! You can go anywhere, why can't you come here? Don't you want me and Mom anymore! I knew Mom was lying to me, are you and Mom getting a divorce?"
My grandson, who was perfectly fine just moments before, suddenly burst into tears and screamed into the phone.
Yu Jinbu quickly snatched the phone away.
"Take him out, I need to say a few words to He Lin."
Wang Meixia pulled her grandson's hand and walked him outside, saying, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Quickly, spit it out!"
"He Lin, what have you been busy with lately?"
He Lin looked at the report on the table and answered truthfully, "Dad, don't worry, Yu Lian and I are doing well. We even talked on the phone this morning. I wanted to go, but she wouldn't let me; she asked me to help her look into some things."
"Really? That's good. Hehe hasn't seen her mother lately, so she's been a little upset. Don't worry about her. That's all for now."
"Yes, the results will be out soon. I'll bring the report over then."
"Boss, the boss downstairs with auspicious energy wants to see you. It seems to be to report something."
He Lin calmly tapped the table twice: "If he's willing to wait, then he can wait. I won't see him for now."
Having stated his position clearly, he went out to deal with the situation.
This company is backed by a country. That's a fact, and it's now come to light.
