The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 771 Biochemical Crisis

"What…"

Although they had made a bet, Zhuo Bufan was not at all prepared to take off his clothes.

He really didn't want to take his clothes off in full view of a large crowd and run home naked. He could only look at Shao Weimin for help.

Shao Weimin sighed. If Zhuo Bufan had known this earlier, he would not have made a bet. Zhuo Bufan was too proud of himself.

But no matter what, he was the one who had brought Zhuo Bufan here. It was not appropriate to take him back naked. He said to Qin Haodong, "Little Qin, Dr. Zhuo already knew that he was wrong. Please let it go!"

Zhuo Bufan quickly followed and said, "Yes, Doctor Qin. I was wrong. I will apologize publicly to the Chinese doctor when I go back. Is it all right if I don't take off my clothes?"

Qin Haodong said, "Well, no. If you lose, you have to admit it. But since Minister Shao intercedes for you, I will make a compromise. I don't want your trousers, but you have to take off your jacket. "

He had just spoken eloquently against traditional Chinese medicine. Qin Haodong was determined to teach such a person a lesson, or he would surely make the same mistake again in the future.

Zhuo Bufan looked at Shao Weimin for help again, but this time, Shao Weimin directly ignored him and looked out of the window.

Shao Weimin was well aware that Qin Haodong had made concessions for his sake and that he could not go too far.

What's more, Zhuo Bufan had gone too far just now, so it was reasonable for him to be taught a lesson.

Zhuo Bufan had no choice but to take off his coat while glaring at Qin Haodong.

He was now too ashamed to stay here. He ran out of the sanatorium without looking back, bare-chested.

His assistant, who was waiting outside in her car, was startled to see him running out with his shirt off. It was autumn, why was the vice president so hot?

Zhuo Bufan got in the car and shouted to his assistant, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and start the car."

In the yard, Shen Tiejun took out a bank card and shoved it into Qin Haodong's hand. "Doctor Qin, here is 500,000 yuan. Thank you for saving my father."

As a member of a military and political family, he had a great influence in politics, but he was not well off financially. 500,000 yuan was all he had.

Qin Haodong shook his head and pushed the card away. "The stable international environment we enjoy today is due to the hard work of Mr. Shen and his comrades. I shouldn't charge him for his medical care."

"What…"

Seeing that Qin Haodong insisted on not accepting the money, Shen Tiejun looked at Mu Baisen in embarrassment.

Mu Baisen said, "Just do what Little Qin says. He also gave me free medical treatment. Anyway, he is Mingrui's boyfriend. We're all a family."

Hearing Old Man Mu's words, Shen Tiejun could only put away his card.

Old Master Shen said, "Young man, you've done an excellent job. Old Mu has already said that we will be a family in the future. We're quite influential in Huaxia. If there is anything we can do for you, please feel free to tell us."

With the nourishment of Green Wood Genuine Qi, he did not look like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness. On the contrary, he was in good spirits. Looking at Hua Mingrui, he said, "How time flies. You were a little girl when I was hurt. Now you have grown up. When are you getting married? I must have a drink."

Hua Mingrui flushed. "Grandpa Shen, you're making fun of me again."

"One should get married when they are old enough. What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, you and Dr. Qin are really a good match. I think you are perfect for each other."

After saying that, Shen Anguo turned to Shen Tiejun and said, "Boy, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and arrange the dishes and wine. Old Mu and I are going to have a good drink with Dr. Qin."

Shen Tiejun said, "Dad, you've just recovered from a serious illness. It's not good for you to drink. What if you relapse?"

Qin Haodong said, "It doesn't matter. The old man has been completely cured. It doesn't matter if he drinks a little."

The meridians he reattached with Green Wood Genuine Qi were more tenacious than before the injury, so there was no possibility of relapse at all.

After a few drinks with the two old men, he returned to the Tang Sect and accompanied Su Hui to the clinic the next day.

At about 9 a.m., when he had just seen a patient, his mobile phone in his pocket rang. It was Shao Weimin calling.

They had just met yesterday, and now he was making a phone call. There had to be something going on.

He walked into the massage room with his mobile phone and answered the call. Shao Weimin hurriedly said, "Little Qin, where are you now?"

Qin Haodong said, "I'm at the Donghui Clinic."

"Wait for me there. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

After saying that, Shao Weimin hung up the phone in a hurry.

Qin Haodong put away his mobile phone, but he was confused. What on earth could make the minister so anxious?

Six or seven minutes later, Shao Weimin rushed in from the outside. Qin Haodong let him enter the massage room and closed the door.

"Minister Shao, what's the matter?"

"Little Qin, something big has happened."

Shao Weimin took a deep breath and said, "I just received a report from the Department of Sanity of Yunnan Province. There are a few very special patients there."

Qin Haodong said, "It's normal for people to get sick, and it's quite common for them to have some difficult and complicated diseases. It's not a big deal, is it?"

"It's not that simple." Shao Weimin told him the story heavily.

At the border between Yunnan Province and Myanmar, there was a small village called Oxhorn with a small population. About two or three hundred households were living there.

Behind the village was a big mountain called Savage Mountain. Many of the villagers made their living by hunting there.

Just four days ago, a villager named Niu Erwa came back from a hunting trip in the mountains and suddenly came down with a high fever and convulsions. His family sent him to the county hospital.

The diagnosis of the hospital was that he had an ordinary cold and a fever. After getting injections, he was sent back to the village to recuperate.

Niu Erwa no longer had a fever after returning home, but he was still in a coma.

Three days later, he suddenly woke up. But as if he had changed into another person, he walked stiffly, like a zombie in the movies. He had lost his mind and did not know his family and friends. He was extremely bloodthirsty and would bite anyone he saw.

He bit a few villagers in succession. More than a dozen young men gathered in the village, trying to subdue him, but this guy was very strong after going crazy. He bit a few more villagers before being tied up.

But no sooner had he been subdued than the injured villagers began to have the same fever and convulsions as he had before.

Qin Haodong's face suddenly clouded over. "It seems that his illness is contagious, just like the biochemical crises in the movies."

Shao Weimin said heavily, "That's true. The locals also thought of this. They reported this matter to the county government. The county government didn't dare to delay. They immediately reported it to the higher officials, and finally the Yunnan provincial government got the message.

"The Yunnan provincial government asked the Department of Sanity to send a team of experts to Oxhorn Village to conduct blood tests on both the injured villagers and Niu Erwa. They found a very rare virus in their blood, and it was confirmed that Niu Erwa and the other villagers were suffering from the same virus."

"Is there an effective drug for this virus?" Qin Haodong asked.

Shao Weimin shook his head and said, "If there was an effective drug, the Yunnan Department of Sanity would not have reported it. The virus is a new species and has never been seen before. There is no preventative vaccine and no effective treatment.

"The only good news is that at the moment the virus is transmitted through the blood and it's not too difficult to prevent."

Qin Haodong frowned and said, "Minister Shao, it doesn't seem to be as simple as you think. You forgot how Niu Erwa got infected with the virus. If we don't find the root cause, we can't completely prevent it. Others may also be infected."

Shao Weimin slapped his thigh. "I really forgot about this. Now all the prevention and control work is focused on Niu Erwa and other infected villagers. We forgot that there was a hidden source of infection."

Qin Haodong asked, "How is Niu Erwa now? Is he back to normal? Can he tell us how he was infected with this virus?"

"Not yet. Niu Erwa has remained in a zombie state and has no sanity at all," Shao said.

"Later, I'll call them and ask them to do a detailed physical examination on Niu Erwa. We must find the source of the virus."

Qin Haodong said, "Minister Shao, what can I do for you?"

"Experts from the Ministry of Health have consulted the World Medical Association about the virus. It is indeed a newly discovered virus, and there is no means of prevention or treatment," Shao said.

He continued, "The virus is so terrible that if it is not controlled properly, it could lead to a real biochemical crisis, so the Ministry of Health decided to send a team of experts to Yunnan Province to eradicate the crisis at its source."

"The team will include experts from the Institute of traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and Biochemistry, as well as researchers from the Biological Research Center. I hope we can work together to eliminate this emerging virus."

Qin Haodong nodded. The Ministry of Health was undoubtedly doing the right thing.

Shao Weimin said, "Little Qin, I chose you and Mr. Sun Feng from the Medicine King Clinic to represent TCM. Zhuo Bufan is in charge of Western medicine, and he is also the leader of this group.

"I know Zhuo Bufan is proud and arrogant, and he didn't have a good time with you yesterday. But I hope you will keep the big picture in mind and make sure that this mission is completed."

Qin Haodong said, "Minister Shao, don't worry. I can prioritize."

Shao Weimin nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. This time, I originally wanted you to be the team leader. However, considering that Western medicine is better at dealing with viruses, I asked Zhuo Bufan to lead the team."

Qin Haodong said, "Minister Shao, it doesn't matter who leads the team. Our top priority is to eliminate the crisis."

As a doctor, he had just felt the seriousness of the virus. If the virus were to spread without effective control, the entire human race would be endangered.

Shao Weimin said, "The expert team will set off tonight. Please get ready. In principle, you can bring an assistant."

Qin Haodong said in surprise, "Minister Shao, the situation over there is already very critical. Why don't we set off immediately? Why will we wait until late at night?"

Shao Weimin sighed and said, "I'm also worried, but the expert group is carrying a lot of medical equipment, so they need a special plane. The Ministry of Health does not have a plane, so we have to communicate with the aviation department, and they said there will be a free plane at night."

Qin Haodong said, "Minister Shao, I happen to have a private plane. We can use it now."

"Really? That's great. Little Qin, you've helped me a lot." Shao Weiren was overjoyed. "I'll inform the members of the expert panel right away and ask them to gather at the airport immediately. When all the people are here, we'll take off immediately."

Qin Haodong said, "Minister Shao, you're being too polite. It's my duty to do something for the country. I'll ask someone to send the information about the plane to your mobile phone right away. I'll go to the airport now."
