CHAPTER 367: CHAPTER 367: TURNING HOSTILE AND DENYING ACQUAINTANCE

Zhan Hanjue remained unmoved and unangered, instead he advised her, "But if I leave, you’ll have to face all of this alone. Look, you can’t even get through the gate; I think you’ll still need my help with many things."

"Ha, you really think you’re that important. Don’t worry, I won’t ask for your help. You’re just a burden staying here, so hurry up and leave." Ningwan continued to push him away.

Zhan Hanjue tilted his head to look at her, smiling as he asked, "Are you worried about me, is that why you want me to leave quickly?"

"Who cares about you? Stop flattering yourself." Ningwan shouted.

"Since you’re not worried, then don’t worry about what happens to me. Besides, I wronged you before, isn’t this your chance for revenge? If I get infected with the virus..."

"Shut up," Ningwan interrupted him.

Zhan Hanjue had no choice but to close his mouth, though he looked at her with a deep, affectionate gaze.

Ningwan was made uncomfortable by his gaze, but luckily at that moment, the secretary rushed in. Seeing Ningwan still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s good you’re still here, the leader wants you to come over."

"Me?" Ningwan pointed at herself.

The secretary nodded, "Yes, he said there is something important he wants to discuss with you."

Ningwan glanced at Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue immediately said, "I’ll go with you."

"Who asked you to come along?" Ningwan rolled her eyes and walked forward first.

Zhan Hanjue smiled and followed.

The secretary watched them in confusion from the side, weren’t they supposed to be husband and wife? Why do they seem so distant?

Inside another office, the leader had already put on a mask.

The secretary donned a mask when he went to find Ningwan, and seeing him in a mask, she had already guessed the situation.

Sure enough, once inside, the leader quickly introduced the other people in the office.

One was a leader from the epidemic prevention center, and the other two were the dean and the director of infectious diseases from the city hospital.

"What’s your name?" The leader wanted to introduce Ningwan but suddenly realized he didn’t know her name.

"My surname is Ye, Ye Ningwan."

"Oh, so you’re Miss Ye. But what do you do, and how did you know this virus is highly infectious?" The leader nodded and curiously asked.

Ningwan told them she was in Traditional Chinese Medicine, then carefully analyzed the situation she’s seen, the epidemics she’s read about in books, and those she’s seen abroad, finally concluding that this pandemic virus was far from simple.

Director Wu of the infectious diseases department said excitedly, "Miss Ye, you’ve said too much, actually, I noticed something amiss three days ago. We also have two doctors infected, but... nobody paid attention."

"Old Wu, it’s not time for blame, we need to think about how to treat and control this." Dean Lin said.

The leader nodded, "Dean Lin is right, it’s not time for blame now. I’ll immediately gather the leadership team for a meeting. You are all familiar with this virus, so also have a small meeting about how to control it, how to treat it, and quickly come up with a plan."

"We can discuss among ourselves, she’s just a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor..." Dean Lin clearly had little regard for Ningwan.

Ningwan sneered, looking at Dean Lin, she asked, "I wonder if Dean Lin has interacted with patients, has given patients consultations?"

"I..."

"Dean Lin is from thoracic surgery, how could he see this kind of illness? Doctor Lin, I think your analysis earlier was very reasonable, some parts coincided with mine, let’s sit down and discuss together!" Doctor Wu invited.

Ningwan nodded, unwilling to argue with Dean Lin.

Coming up with a plan was more important, now was not the time for stubbornness, after all, saving lives was what mattered.

Meetings on both sides took place simultaneously.

Even though Dean Lin looked down on Ningwan, he was reliable in work and quickly gathered other experts from hospital infectious disease departments for discussion.

Integrating Chinese and Western medicine.

This time, the Traditional Chinese Medicine part was coincidentally handled by Zhao Changyuan.

Zhao Changyuan was well-known in the Traditional Chinese Medicine field, and Doctor Wu knew him too, greatly appreciating him.

Ningwan was involved too, and Doctor Wu became increasingly interested in her proposed plan, discussing it for a long time after the meeting.

Especially her detoxification pills, which caught much interest.

Ningwan did not keep secrets, as it’s crucial to save lives now. So she brought out the formula, personally produced the medicine, and distributed it to the public for free.

Initially, Dean Lin thought she wouldn’t reveal the formula, assuming she was hiding it.

Ningwan said, "It’s not that I’m withholding it, the formula is too complex, average pharmacists can’t produce it. I make it myself, though it’s slow, fortunately, the speed is faster, I will bring some people along, letting them learn. Once they’ve learned, I naturally will reveal the formula."

"Just trust Miss Ye, Miss Ye is very ethical in medicine." Doctor Wu said.

Dean Lin had to temporarily trust Ningwan.

Actually, Ningwan had it the toughest.

Just making the medicine alone exhausted her to death every day, not to mention treating patients, by the end of each day she felt half her life was drained.

"Why are you back so late?"

Ningwan, exhausted, returned to the hotel she was staying at, not expecting Zhan Hanjue in the lobby waiting for her.

"Why are you still here?" Ningwan asked.

Zhan Hanjue stood up, and with a light cough, said, "I couldn’t sleep peacefully while you weren’t back yet. Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of what needed doing, everything outside is normal."

"Hmm, I know, thank you for doing these things." Ningwan thanked him.

Actually, she was quite surprised by Zhan Hanjue’s actions.

It was heard that he mobilized resources from Jiangcheng and other places, transporting supplies to Tong City.

All expenses covered by Zhan Group.

Though to him, this money wouldn’t cause major damage.

But Ningwan knew a bit about Zhan Hanjue.

If it was the old him, he surely wouldn’t exert himself this much. At most, he would donate some money, some supplies, but he wouldn’t personally be doing this.

"I didn’t expect you’d do this, thought you’d leave." After a moment, Ningwan apologized again.

Zhan Hanjue said, "If you weren’t here, I would definitely leave. But since you’re here, I won’t leave."

"Did you consider that staying here might make you sick? And this virus outbreak, it could even be fatal." Ningwan said seriously.

She wasn’t trying to scare him.

With no better treatment plan researched yet, everything relies on luck, and already some severe cases had died.

Seeing body after body piled up, some healthcare workers were scared, fresh recruits cried until they couldn’t form words.

"You won’t let me die, as long as you’re here, I am not afraid." Zhan Hanjue replied earnestly.

Ningwan was amused, "People calling me Divine Doctor is just flattery. I’m a doctor, not a god, I’m not as omnipotent as you imagine."

"Anyway, I trust you." Zhan Hanjue said firmly.
