Chapter 780 The Third Wheel
He said that, but in his heart, he was mainly afraid of Qin Haodong’s medical skills. Qin Haodong could even remove the venom of the krait in an instant. Maybe Qin Haodong could really cure this virus, and then he would lose all the credit.
So he made up his mind that he could not let Qin Haodong go near those patients.
Sun Bowei was unconvinced and said, “You’re abusing your power. Since the Ministry of Health wants us to join this team, we have the right to treat any patients.”
Zhuo Bufan sneered and said, “You’d better not do anything. What if the gra.s.s, roots and barks that have never been tested by any scientific means cause a virus mutation in the patient’s body? Will you bear the responsibility?”
“I…”
Sun Bowei still wanted to say something, but Sun Fengqing stopped him by signaling with his eyes.
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Well, since you are so confident, we will not partic.i.p.ate then. It’s not easy for us to come here. Let’s take it as a free trip and go out and have fun.”
After that, he did not argue anymore and directly brought Su Hui out of the tent.
As Kathaway was not a member of the key team, she did not attend this meeting, nor did she attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation. She just sat at the door and waited quietly. When she saw Qin Haodong and the others coming out, she immediately went up to them.
“Qin, how did your discussion go? When will you help these patients relieve their pain with your magical medical skills?”
Qin Haodong said, “Mr. Zhuo Bufan is in charge of the treatment. He has developed a new treatment plan. If you have any questions, you can ask him.”
After that, he turned his head and said to Li Laogen, “Mr. Li, is there anything interesting to do around here?”
Li Laogen said, “There’s a place called Peac.o.c.k Bay in the south of the country. The scenery there is good. There are mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. We’ll go there when it’s our rest day.”
“Thank you. We will go over there and have a look.”
Qin Haodong said as he pulled Su Hui toward the south.
Kathaway quickly caught up with him and said, “Qin, what are you going to do? Your most important responsibility now is not to go sightseeing. You should treat those patients.”
Qin Haodong stopped and said to the persistent girl, “Miss Kathaway, I’ve told you that Mr. Zhuo Bufan will be in charge of the treatment.”
There was a flash of confusion on her beautiful face. “But why didn’t you do your best with such good medical skills?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to do my best, but I can’t.” Qin Haodong said, “Miss Kathaway, you know too little about Huaxia. If you really find a boyfriend in Huaxia in the future, maybe you will understand what I mean.”
Kathaway asked, “Where are you going now?”
“Didn’t you just hear that we were going to Peac.o.c.k Bay to do some sightseeing?”
Kathaway said excitedly, “Can you take me with you? I want to go with you.”
Qin Haodong glanced at her and asked, “Miss Kathaway, who taught you Huaxia language?”
“I’ve always been very interested in Huaxia. When I was in college, I took the Huaxia language as an optional course. What do you think? Am I good at that?”
Qin Haodong did not answer her. Instead, he asked, “Do you know what a bulb means?”
“That’s too simple. Of course I know.” After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed at the 200-watt light lamp in front of the head of the countryside government. “That’s a bulb.”
“Miss Kathaway, that is not the only bulb. You’re a bulb as well.”
After that, Qin Haodong took Su Hui’s hand and strode toward the south, leaving Kathaway with a confused look on her face. She did not understand what he meant.
After a while, she came to her senses and walked toward Zhuo Bufan, who was walking out of the tent.
“Mr. Zhuo, I have a question, when will you be treating those patients?”
“Miss Kathaway, you don’t have to worry. Today, you will definitely witness the miracle of us curing these patients.”
Kathaway asked, “But I heard that there are no effective drugs for treating this virus at present. How will you treat these patients?”
Zhuo Bufan said proudly, “I have already some special medicine from M Country’s scientific research center. I will be able to cure the disease as soon as the medicine is delivered.”
“When we cure these patients, we need you to report it to the whole world.”
Kathaway asked again, “But I saw that Qin has left. Isn’t he going to take part in your treatment?”
Zhuo Bufan said, “He is a Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner. Traditional Chinese medicine has no good method of treating this virus, so our treatment doesn’t need his presence at all.”
Kathaway nodded again. She seemed to understand what Qin Haodong meant just now.
On a huge rock in front of the gate of the countryside government, Sun Fengqing and his grandson were sitting there.
“Grandpa, this kind of disease is really weird. I’ve never heard of anyone who doesn’t eat or drink and yet can become more and more powerful.”
Sun Fengqing looked into the distance with a calm expression. “I have never seen such a disease in all the years of my life, let alone you.”
“Then do you think Zhuo Bufan and the others can really cure these villagers?”
Sun Fengqing said, “Who knows? Maybe he can, maybe he can’t.”
Sun Bowei said, “I don’t think they are good enough.”
Sun Fengqing glanced at his grandson and asked, “Why?”
“There’s no reason. I just have a feeling that this disease will not be so easy to cure.” Sun Bowei said, “If you do it with Doctor Qin, we may still have a chance to save them. Those quacks won’t be able to cure it.”
“It’s a pity that the man surnamed Zhuo is so narrow-minded. He is afraid that we will take the credit, so he doesn’t want us to be in contact with those patients at all.”
“There are some things that don’t need to be forced. It’s destined.” Sun Fengqing did not look angry at all. He said leisurely, “Little Qin is indeed very outstanding. He is the best doctor I have ever seen in my life. He is a little stronger than me.”
Sun Bowei said, “Grandpa, you are the king of medicine in Huaxia. Can he be better than you?”
“He is better,” Sun Fengqing said firmly, “I can’t see through his medical skills. From what I have seen, he is already much better than me.”
“Remember, there will always be someone better than you. The taboo thing for a Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner is to be proud and arrogant. You must learn more from Little Qin in the future.”
“I got it, Grandpa!”
Sun Bowei was now convinced of Qin Haodong’s medical skills.
The following day, Zhuo Bufan waited anxiously, looking at the path that led into the village, from time to time.
In his opinion, this was a good opportunity for him to become famous. As long as the special medicine was delivered, he could cure all the patients here. At that time, he would gain both fame and wealth.
At dusk, w.a.n.g Zhonglin, the deputy director of the Department of Sanity, finally appeared, followed by an a.s.sistant with a first-aid kit on his back.
“Director w.a.n.g, why did you come here in person?”
Zhuo Bufan immediately went over to him.
w.a.n.g Zhonglin said, “The outbreak of the virus this time is a big event. The superiors attached great importance to it. How can I not come?”
He took the medicine box in his a.s.sistant’s hand and said, “Professor Zhuo, this is the medicine from M Country. I brought it for you.”
Zhuo Bufan excitedly took the medicine box and said, “That’s great. With these medicines, the patients in the village can be cured.”
w.a.n.g Zhonglin said, “Professor Zhuo, are these drugs really effective in killing these viruses?”
“Of course, this is a special medicine produced by M Country. The target is this kind of zombie virus.” Zhuo Bufan said proudly, “If I hadn’t worked in M Country for a period of time, others really would not have known that there was such a special medicine.”
w.a.n.g Zhonglin praised him, “You are indeed an expert. Professor Zhuo, you’ve made a great contribution this time.”
Zhuo Bufan said proudly, “It’s nothing. This is what I should do. There is a saying, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. As the best expert professor in Huaxia, I naturally have the responsibility to do something for the common people.”
After that, he said to Zhao Meng, who was next to him, “Gather the members of our expert team immediately, so we can go and treat the patients now.”
Zhao Meng answered and left. Soon, w.a.n.g Aimin, Ye Liying and Dong Anna were called over, but they did not call Sun Fengqing and Sun Bowei.
Looking at these people in front of him, w.a.n.g Zhonglin said in surprise, “Professor Zhuo, I remember that there were ten people in our team. Why are there only six now?”
Zhuo Bufan said, “Director w.a.n.g, to tell you the truth, the Chinese medical pract.i.tioners did not make any contribution during this task, so there is no need to call them in.”
“Especially the little doctor surnamed Qin. He took his girlfriend out to have fun in the morning. What’s the point of calling a doctor like him who does not take patients seriously here?”
“Director w.a.n.g, you know what’s going on in our country. Some people don’t have any real skills at all. They are here merely to get gilded.”
Zhao Meng said. He was really thick-skinned. Originally, he came here to get gilded too, but he dared to put the hat on Qin Haodong.
As an official, w.a.n.g Zhonglin naturally understood what Zhuo Bufan meant. Of course, he would not offend the big expert in front of him in defense of a few Chinese medical pract.i.tioners whom he had only met once.
However, he shook his head secretly in his heart. The young man now was really out of line. He had given up such a good opportunity. After they cured the patients here, Qin Haodong would not get any benefits. He had wasted such a good opportunity.
While they were talking, they came to the front of the isolation room. In order to make their medicine work quickly, Zhuo Bufan specially chose a particularly strong patient.
A good physical body meant he would have a good recovery ability. In addition, with the special medicine in his hand, he would definitely be able to eliminate these viruses as soon as possible.
The chosen villager was called Zhang Dazhuang. He was well known for his strength in the village. When Niu Erwa was sick, he was the first to stop him. His arm was accidentally injured and he eventually became a victim too.
In order to prevent any possible infection, Zhuo Bufan instructed all the members of the team to put on protective gear. Then he asked Li Laogen to unlock the big lock on the door of the isolation room, and they went in together.
w.a.n.g Zhonglin and Kathaway were not medical staff, so they did not enter the room. According to Zhuo Bufan’s request, they waited outside for the moment of witnessing the miracle.
After entering the room, Zhuo Bufan opened the medicine box and took out the special medicine. After he prepared it, he slowly injected it into Zhang Dazhuang’s arm.
Zhao Meng was holding a camera next to him. According to Zhuo Bufan’s request, he was going to record the moment of his meritorious service.
Seeing that all the pink liquid had been injected into Zhang Dazhuang’s arm, everyone’s eyes were focused on Zhang Dazhuang, waiting for the moment of success.
“It works, it works!”
Five minutes later, Zhang Dazhuang, whose fever had been very high till now, finally subsided.
Guo Tao gushed, “Professor Zhuo, your special medicine is really effective.”
Zhao Meng also said, “Of course, who is our director? He is the best professor in Huaxia.”
Zhuo Bufan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and his face became increasingly proud. It seemed that he had really succeeded this time.
At this moment, Zhang Dazhuang suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with a bright red light.
