City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1529 - 1528: I’m Here Because of You

Ye Qiu drove back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, first dropping off Liu Lingxiu at the supermarket before returning to his own villa upstairs.

He picked up his phone and called Zhou Peng, saying, "Director Zhou, I’ll go over with Dr. Zhu tomorrow, and I’m also bringing Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin."

Zhou Peng didn’t expect that Ye Qiu would actually participate in this epidemic support.

Even Zhou Peng didn’t dare to participate himself.

These things were voluntary or assigned tasks from above, confirmed only by drawing lots.

Now, Ye Qiu was also bringing along Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin, which was certainly the best, as they all represented the Affiliated Hospital.

"Dr. Ye, I’ll inform Dr. Zhu on that side."

After they hung up, Ye Qiu continued playing on the computer until after ten in the evening, then showered and continued his cultivation.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu woke up early, packed two sets of clothes, and went downstairs where Chen Fang and Ye Xue were making breakfast.

Ye Weidong saw him coming down with a backpack and asked curiously, "Ye Qiu, where are you going?"

"Dad, I have something to do and need to go out. I might not be back for a week or half a month."

It was normal for Ye Qiu to have things to do outside.

After all, Ye Qiu was involved in many things that they weren’t aware of.

So Ye Weidong didn’t ask further questions.

After having breakfast with his parents and sister, Ye Qiu drove himself to the Affiliated Hospital.

Upon arrival at the Affiliated Hospital, besides Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin whom Ye Qiu had called, there were several other doctors, including Western medicine doctors, Chinese medicine doctors, and several female nurses—these were the medical staff sent by the Affiliated Hospital.

Of course, with Ye Qiu participating, these medical staff felt more reassured.

"Everyone, I represent the entire Affiliated Hospital, wishing you a safe return." Zhou Peng said.

"Director Zhou, aren’t you going?" Ye Qiu asked.

If Zhou Peng was smart, he would go voluntarily for the sake of gaining accolades, but Zhou Peng didn’t dare, even though he believed in Ye Qiu’s excellent medical skills, this kind of thing was no joke.

"Dr. Ye, I’m not going." Zhou Peng said.

Ye Qiu shook his head, thinking that Zhou Peng was not someone who could accomplish great things.

When Han Dexi and the others arrived, there were also some medical personnel from Jinling Hospital of Chinese Medicine and some from Jinling People’s Hospital.

Now, Ye Qiu and Wen Xin boarded the bus first with the others to head to the Municipal Health Bureau, where there would be a small meeting before directly flying to the Southwest.

Ye Qiu and Wen Xin, along with Zhou Wenting, sat there. Besides doctors from their Affiliated Hospital, over at Jinling Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Han Dexi was the team leader. However, other than him, no one knew Ye Qiu’s identity and felt he was too young to be going.

Moreover, Ye Qiu was dressed casually while others wore lab coats and nurse uniforms.

Upon reaching the meeting room of the Municipal Health Bureau, Ye Qiu followed them inside and soon saw the relevant leaders of the Bureau, and also Li Zhiguo, Li Qianqian’s father, was present.

When Li Zhiguo saw Ye Qiu, he was naturally surprised, not expecting him to participate.

Because of the current epidemic in the Southwest, it has yet to be identified, with a very high mortality rate. If infected, one could die, and even if cured, there might be some aftereffects.

After Li Zhiguo said some words of praise and encouragement in the meeting room, the leaders from the Health Bureau also spoke similarly.

One leader from the Bureau would be leading the team.

After the meeting, as they prepared to head to the International Airport, Li Zhiguo called Ye Qiu over.

When Mayor Li called Ye Qiu over, others were surprised, but Zhou Wenting knew of Ye Qiu’s relationship with Li Qianqian, so she wasn’t surprised.

"Ye Qiu, you’re going too?" Li Zhiguo asked.

"Uncle Li, I’m fine. I heard the situation is very serious there and wanted to take a look."

"This trip is like a journey of life and death." Li Zhiguo said seriously in a quiet voice.

"I know, but I’m not afraid." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Have you informed Qianqian?"

"No, I haven’t told anyone. My parents and sister don’t know, and Qianqian doesn’t either. It’s just to prevent them from worrying."

"Think it over. I’ll give you five minutes." Li Zhiguo said, looking at him.

On account of Ye Qiu’s relationship with his daughter, Li Zhiguo knew Ye Qiu’s medical skills were excellent, but he still didn’t want him to take the risk.

Based on the situation there now, he’d heard that the mortality rate exceeded eighty percent, which meant that once infected with the epidemic, from infection to outbreak, the mortality rate was over eighty percent, essentially a journey of life and death.

"Uncle Li, I don’t need to think it over. I’m not going for myself this time."

Indeed, Ye Qiu wasn’t doing it for himself; he was doing it for Wen Xin and Zhou Wenting.

However, Li Zhiguo thought otherwise, thinking Ye Qiu’s sense of duty was high, doing it for the infected patients.

In this regard, Li Zhiguo felt Ye Qiu was indeed commendable, and that Li Qianqian hadn’t misjudged him.

"Alright then, as you say, I’ll do as you wish. I won’t tell Qianqian. Wait until you return safely to Jinling, then give her a call!"

Time was tight, so Li Zhiguo didn’t say more to Ye Qiu. He personally sent Ye Qiu and the others to board the bus, and Ye Qiu sat next to Wen Xin and Zhou Wenting.

Zhou Wenting asked, "Why did Mayor Li call you over just now?"

"It’s nothing."

"I don’t believe that." Zhou Wenting said.

"Uncle Li wanted me to reconsider whether to go. But I’ve already participated, how could I back out?"

"Looks like Mayor Li values you highly!" Zhou Wenting said.

"It’s because of his connection to Qianqian. But I’m doing it because of my connection to you two."

Having said that, Ye Qiu held Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin’s hands below, which made the two women somewhat moved yet shy.

Especially Wen Xin, she didn’t know what to say to Ye Qiu.

As the bus drove to Jinling International Airport, Ye Qiu, Zhou Wenting, and the others followed Han Dexi off the bus and then passed through the green channel directly inside the airport. After a simple check, they boarded the plane, which would take them directly to an airport near the epidemic-stricken village in the Southwest.

On the plane, Ye Qiu adjusted his phone to airplane mode, as did the two women.

After the plane took off, Liu Lingxiu, who had been restless and unable to sleep well in her room at Ye Qiu’s the night before, had woken up early and looked very haggard. Liu Daqing and his wife, who had gone to the supermarket early, hadn’t noticed her change.

Liu Lingxiu felt a constant worry for Ye Qiu’s safety and rushed out of her house, reaching Peach Blossom Spring Villa and discovering Ye Qiu had already driven off, while Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Ye Xue were still at home, seemingly preparing to return to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.
