City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1559 - 1558: That Bastard

On Sunday night, when Song Ying at Jin University called Ye Qiu, she found she couldn’t reach him at all and had no idea where Ye Qiu went.

On Sunday, when Jin University went to East Sea for a game against the home team, without Ye Qiu, they lost terribly, with a big score difference of thirty points to the home team.

That day, not only was Head Coach Li Yiping’s face darkened, but the players also didn’t know what was going on. By the second quarter, their rhythm and physical fitness couldn’t keep up, completely different from their previous games.

Li Yiping felt it was related to Ye Qiu, but now, even Song Ying didn’t know where Ye Qiu went.

Today is already Thursday, and tomorrow is Friday; if Ye Qiu still doesn’t show up, Jin University might lose again at home.

Of course, although previously they’d won consecutively, losing two games in a row now wouldn’t mean elimination, but it would certainly have an impact.

"Ms. Song, find Ye Qiu as soon as possible, or else our team will lose again tomorrow," Li Yiping said.

Song Ying also wanted to find Ye Qiu, but she had no idea where he was, nor could she reach him.

In this situation, Song Ying knew she could only find those young ladies who knew Ye Qiu, like Li Qianqian and Liu Lingxiu.

When Song Ying arrived at Liu Lingxiu’s classroom and saw her coming out after class, she looked at her and said, "Liu Lingxiu, come here for a bit, I have something to ask you."

Seeing Song Ying coming to find her, Liu Lingxiu immediately knew she was definitely inquiring about Ye Qiu.

Because Ye Qiu went to the Southwest to treat illnesses and save lives, he only told her. Even Ye Qiu’s own parents and sister didn’t know. These days, Liu Lingxiu was also deeply troubled, frequently checking the news to see Ye Qiu’s situation over there.

Unexpectedly, there wasn’t much news from that side, but there were reports that no more patients had died.

Now, seeing Song Ying finding her, Liu Lingxiu said, "Ms. Song, you surely want to know where Ye Qiu went. I know, but I can’t say."

"Where did he go? Coach Li is looking for him right now," Song Ying asked urgently.

"Do you really want to know?"

If Liu Lingxiu didn’t disclose it, Song Ying couldn’t account for it to Coach Li and the academy!

"He went to the Southwest. There’s a plague outbreak there now. Actually, I don’t know how he’s doing now either."

What?

Ye Qiu went to the Southwest?

"When did he leave?"

"Sunday morning."

No wonder when night came, Song Ying discovered she couldn’t reach Ye Qiu’s phone. Now it’s been five days since he left, and he hasn’t called her either.

Because there might be no signal in that place, or he might be quarantined, or even worse, something might have happened to Ye Qiu himself.

Actually, Song Ying had also noticed the news about the plague in the Southwest, hearing that dozens had died and hundreds were infected, and the situation was severe.

However, Song Ying really didn’t expect Ye Qiu to take the risk and go there. Given what she knew about Ye Qiu’s character, it seemed unbelievable!

"Did he say when he’d be back?"

"No, I fear he can only come back once all the infected patients have recovered."

Now Ye Qiu is in the Southwest treating people?

Now, Jin University’s basketball team has to face a strong team, so what should they do?

Song Ying knew she couldn’t do anything about it and had to report the truth to Coach Li. After all, treating illnesses and saving lives is certainly more important than the game’s honor.

Whether they lose the game or not is one thing, but if Ye Qiu hadn’t gone to save lives, many might have died.

"Haven’t you been in contact by phone?" Song Ying asked again.

Liu Lingxiu shook her head.

"His phone can’t be reached, and even his parents and sister don’t know, only that he had something to attend to for about a fortnight."

Song Ying was a bit angry with Ye Qiu. Despite being so familiar with him, this jerk secretly went to the Southwest without telling her.

Now Song Ying was somewhat worried that something might happen to Ye Qiu, as this plague isn’t something to joke about. During the epidemic years ago, quite a few doctors and nurses died.

Song Ying didn’t linger, instead directly calling Coach Li and saying: "Coach Li, Ye Qiu isn’t in Jinling; he’s gone to the Southwest to treat and save people. He might not be able to come back for a while. You need to be prepared for consecutive losses."

Might not be able to come back for a while? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If they lose tomorrow and next week, they might as well not compete. All the previous effort and dedication will be wasted.

But now, since Ye Qiu isn’t here, Coach Li can’t do anything about it.

Now, Song Ying understood why Ye Qiu said people depended on him, which indeed was the case.

However, why do they win when he’s there, and lose when he’s not? Song Ying and Coach Li couldn’t figure it out for the life of them.

They could only say Ye Qiu is a strange person, able to control the outcome of the game.

Song Ying returned to her office, quickly checked the news about the Southwest epidemic, and soon received news that the virus source of this outbreak might have been found, traced back to bats in a cave.

And the first to discover it were Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting, Wen Xin.

This was a bit of news about Ye Qiu, and Song Ying didn’t expect that Ye Qiu was indeed over there.

However, when Ye Qiu will return can’t be determined at all.

Song Ying dialed Ye Qiu’s phone number again, to no avail.

It seemed there was no signal there, or Ye Qiu’s phone battery was dead. Now, Song Ying could only pray for Ye Qiu’s safe return.

Suddenly recalling the recent news, did Zhou Wenting also go over?

Could it be that Ye Qiu went because of Zhou Wenting?

Song Ying knew about the relationship between Zhou Wenting and Ye Qiu, so she thought Ye Qiu must have gone for the sake of this fourth Miss of the Zhou Family.

"That bastard, wait till you get back!" Song Ying couldn’t help but curse in her heart.

...

Ye Qiu returned to his tent to rest. It was raining outside, and other medical personnel were busy with their tasks, while Ye Qiu was resting there.

Sometimes liking rainy days, sometimes hating them—a person’s mood can easily be influenced by the weather.

Most people dislike this kind of rainy day, with sticky, muddy ground everywhere, and many outdoor activities being affected.

Now, those medical experts are directly studying the viruses carried by the bats and have also contacted medical research laboratories from other universities to help develop effective medicines. Only in this way can the spread of the infectious disease be controlled.

Of course, these medical experts still couldn’t confirm whether it belonged to a plague, nor could they define it as such; they could only call it an infectious disease.

Since the transmission route couldn’t be confirmed so far, how these viruses were transmitted from the bats in the cave to the villagers and livestock in the mountain villages remained unclear.

Why did it also affect other birds and wild animals on the mountain, but these birds and wild animals were unaffected?

All these remain unresolved, prompting these medical experts to continue their investigation and research.
