City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1526 - 1525: Southwest Epidemic

As for when this class reunion starts, Ye Qiu doesn’t know either; it was Liu Lingxiu who notified the former senior class officers to organize it.

However, Li Qiang and the other three were indeed unaware.

"How did Zhang Wei’s mother get involved with a Feng Shui master?" Ye Qiu asked.

He remembered clearly that he was nearly ruined by this woman, and from Zhang Wei’s soul consciousness, he learned that this mother wasn’t a simple person either.

If Zhang Wei hadn’t been spoiled by her, she probably wouldn’t have left this world so quickly.

Li Qiang and the other three felt a bit embarrassed; they had only heard about it, and besides, it involved Zhang Wei’s mother from before.

Liu Lingxiu was also listening here.

"Embarrassed to say?" Ye Qiu asked.

"I heard it was because of her friend Little Feng that she got involved with the Feng Shui master," Li Qiang said awkwardly.

Ye Qiu didn’t ask more.

Ye Qiu placed two hundred yuan on the table and was about to leave with Liu Lingxiu. Watching Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu’s departing figures, Li Qiang and the other three regretted having offended Ye Qiu back then.

Otherwise, how could they end up like this?

After Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu walked away, Liu Lingxiu said, "How could Zhang Wei’s parents become like this?"

"Isn’t it normal? People are like this," Ye Qiu said.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t mention how Zhang Wei and his parents had been sending assassins to kill him. If he were really ruthless, Zhang Wei’s parents probably wouldn’t be alive today; Ye Qiu just couldn’t be bothered to deal with it now.

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu continued to stroll and eat at the food street. They walked and stopped, and by lunchtime, both were quite full.

"Want to eat anything else?" Ye Qiu asked.

"I’m very full," Liu Lingxiu said.

Since that was the case, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu left the food street, got into the car, and drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Upon returning to the villa, Ye Qiu let Liu Lingxiu take a break while he played on the computer in the room.

Around two in the afternoon, Liu Lingxiu woke up from a nap, washed up, and came out to see Ye Qiu playing computer games.

Earlier, Ye Qiu saw Li Qianqian online, and obviously, after he taught her, she also enjoyed playing games.

Now that Liu Lingxiu was awake, Ye Qiu asked, "Lingshow, where do you want to go play?"

"I don’t know," Liu Lingxiu said.

Ye Qiu shut down the computer, and together with Liu Lingxiu, came downstairs. They were about to head to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant when Ye Qiu’s phone suddenly rang.

He saw that it was Zhou Peng calling, which surprised Ye Qiu. Could it be that someone had a strange difficult-to-treat illness or cancer again?

"Director Zhou, what’s the matter?"

"Doctor Ye, there’s something I’d like you to discuss in person at the Affiliated Hospital, or I could come over as well."

Something?

He had just treated Li Qing’s uncle Jiang Dawei in the morning, and now there was someone else sick. With that in mind, Ye Qiu drove with Liu Lingxiu to the Affiliated Hospital again.

Upon arriving at the Affiliated Hospital, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu entered the first floor lobby and encountered Wen Xin.

Wen Xin greeted Ye Qiu, and after Ye Qiu replied, he said, "Wen Xin, I’ll come look for you later."

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu arrived at Zhou Peng’s office and found another elderly man inside.

This elderly man was someone Ye Qiu did not recognize.

"Doctor Ye, this is an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Old Doctor Han," Zhou Peng said.

Han Dexi was a senior TCM doctor and also one of the deputy directors at Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He had long heard of a young doctor with impressive medical skills at the Affiliated Hospital named Ye Qiu.

It was said that this person also studied TCM.

"I don’t know him," Ye Qiu stated directly.

"Doctor Ye, it’s normal you don’t know me, but I know you," Han Dexi said with a smile.

"Then may I know why Doctor Han is looking for me?"

"Doctor Ye, take a look at this newspaper," Zhou Peng handed a newspaper to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu saw that it was the headline of the Jinling Daily, mentioning a severe epidemic outbreak in the Southwest, where many villagers and poultry were infected. Numerous doctors were going to the village affected by the outbreak in the Southwest for inspection and treatment.

It was the season transition from spring to summer, with significant temperature differences between day and night. An outbreak like this was quite normal there.

"Director Zhou, is this a plague?"

"It seems so. The death toll has exceeded thirty people, so it appears quite severe," Zhou Peng said.

"So, what is Director Zhou’s intention?"

"We are organizing a team of doctors from Jinling to support the area, and Doctor Han here is the organizer of the support team. If Doctor Ye is willing to join, you would be very welcomed," Zhou Peng said.

Ye Qiu thought it was something else but turned out to be this. Clearly, providing such support involved significant risks.

The doctors might get infected with such an unknown disease, and over the years, various outbreaks in the country have led to many doctors, even nurses, becoming infected and dying.

Liu Lingxiu felt somewhat nervous upon hearing this.

"Doctor Ye, I’m merely recommending you. Whether you want to go or not, we certainly can’t force you," Zhou Peng said.

Moreover, Han Dexi thought that with Ye Qiu’s excellent medical skills, going there might save many and help identify the source of the outbreak.

"But I’m not a doctor at the Affiliated Hospital, and I also have classes. I might not have the time," Ye Qiu said.

Clearly, there’s no benefit in this.

Both Han and Zhou Peng understood this.

"Doctor Ye, you think it over; we’re organizing a team to fly from Jinling to the Southwest for support tomorrow," Han said.

Ye Qiu disliked being forced or morally coerced into doing anything. If he wanted to do it, there’d be no issue. But if coerced, he definitely wouldn’t like it.

These tasks were obviously political orders from above, and not everyone dared to undertake them due to the high risk involved.

If one went there and inadvertently got infected, without treatment, one would have no chance of returning alive. Ye Qiu was just a student, not a doctor at the Affiliated Hospital, so Zhou Peng and Han had no authority to command Ye Qiu to do this.

"Director Zhou, Doctor Han, I’ll think about it and let you know."

As Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu were leaving, Liu Lingxiu immediately said, "Ye Qiu, this plague is severe. If a doctor gets infected, they might not be able to treat themselves."

She recalled clearly the domestic outbreak during her middle school years, not knowing how many had died. So faced with this situation, she was unsure whether to support or dissuade Ye Qiu from going.

However, she felt that staying in Jinling would certainly be safer for Ye Qiu.
