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

“Are there any well-known doctors in town?” asked Wang Yao without thinking .
“Well-known doctor?” said Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang Mingbao .
“Hmmm, no . I mean doctors selected by medical authority,” said Wang Yao .
“Well, I’m not actually sure what you are talking about . Why are you asking me about this?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“I’m just curious,” said Wang Yao .
“You can ask Pan Jun when we get back to town,” said Wang Mingao .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
The two of them were kept in a clinical room . There were guards outside the room . Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao felt they were like prisoners .
“I don’t feel well,” said Wang Mingbao .
“Just be patient, I think someone will bring us out soon,” said Wang Yao .
“Who will do that?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Dr . Long,” said Wang Yao .
“Him?” said Wang Mingbao .
“Yes, he should have been aware that there was something wrong with him,” said Wang 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 hell 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 assistant to bring him a wheelchair .
“Chief, what’s wrong with you?” His assistant was surprised when looking at him .
Even though only one day had passed, 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 assistant .

The assistant helped Dr . Long get into the wheelchair, then got him into the car .
“Where are we going, Chief?” asked the assistant .
“Bingzhou,” said Dr . Long .
“Okay,” said his assistant .
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 Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao, who had already been taken into quarantine, he temporarily forgot about them .
Ding! Om!
Wang Yao’s phone rang .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . ” It was Chen Boyuan .
“Hello,” said Wang Yao .
“Have you been back from Qinzhou?” asked Chen Boyuan .
“Not yet, I have a small problem here,” said Wang 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 Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Wang 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 Wang Yao and his friend have been put into quarantine as per a request from Dr . Long,” said Chen Jingzhi’s assistant .
“What!?” Chen Jingzhi was dazed for a moment after hearing the news . “Because Dr . Long suspects they are infected?”
“Yeah,” said his assistant .
“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 assistant .
“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 assistant .
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 Wang Yao and his friend being held?”
“In the isolated clinical room of Jia County hospital,” said the assistant .
“Okay, I’ll go and see them,” said Chen Jingzhi .
Soon he arrived and immediately went to see Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao in the isolated clinical room .
“I’m sorry . ” He apologized as soon as he saw Wang Yao .
“You don’t need to apologize to us . You are not the person who put us here,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
Chen Jingzhi didn’t say much . He contacted relevant personnel right away and signed Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao out of the isolated clinical room .
“Thank you,” said Wang Yao .
Then Chen Jingzhi invited Wang Yao to his office .
“The water grass you gave us had proved to be effective in treating the infection . We’ve started to grow the water grass 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 Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao hadn’t been infected, because Wang Yao was the one who gave him the water grass .
“Glad it worked,” said Wang Yao .
Since the department has started to grow the water grass 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 grass could treat the disease?” asked Chen Jingzhi .
“Hmmm, it’s a long story,” said Wang 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 grass 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 Wang Yao .
“I’m sincerely sorry because I misunderstood you at the beginning,” said Chen Jingzhi . Wang Yao was surprised to heard it .

“Misunderstand me? Why?” asked Wang Yao .
“Let’s not talk about this . I really admire what you have done,” said Chen Jingzhi .
Wang Yao’s face turned red . He was a bit embarrassed .
“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 Wang 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 Wang Mingbao .
“Hmmm, got what he deserved?” said Chen Jingzhi with confusion .
“Yes, did you know that that shameless old bastard stopped us on our way back after we had left the village, then invited us for dinner,” said Wang Mingbao .
“Dinner?” Chen Jingzhi was surprised, but he understood what had happened immediately . “Did he ask Dr . Wang for more formulas?”
“Exactly!” said Wang Mingbao, smiling .
“Seriously?” said Chen Jingzhi .
“Yes,” said Wang Mingbao .
“I think I underestimated him,” said Chen Jingzhi in disgust .
“What’s happening to him proves that even God can’t stand that shameless guy . So he’s got what he deserved,” said Wang Mingao .
“He went to the hospital because he invited you guys for dinner?” asked Chen Jingzhi .
“You know about that?” said Wang Mingbao .
“Yeah, I heard he came out of the hospital in a wheelchair today,” said Chen Jingzhi .
“Wheelchair? Hahaha!” Wang 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 Wang Mingbao .
“I suppose his condition is going to last for a while,” said Wang Yao .
“What do you want to do with the formula you gave him?” asked Chen Jingzhi .
Dr . Long had not only claimed ownership 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 Wang Yao to claim the ownership of the formula .
“He will regret about what he has done,” said Wang Yao calmly .
“I hope so . Let me know if there is anything I can help,” said Chen Jingzhi .
“Thank you,” said Wang Yao .
He and Wang 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 Wang 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 assistant 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 assistant .
“Right, let’s go,” said Long Yunfei .
It had started to get dark outside .
Wang Yao had driven the car onto the highway .
“Should we keep going or find a place to stay overnight?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“I don’t mind either way,” said Wang Yao .
