I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 598 - 585: Her Revenge_2

They didn’t yet know that Qian Guizhi had lived a tough life since childhood, and it was no exaggeration. She began to work as early as five or six years old.

Nevertheless, this woman was far too humble when it came to love and marriage, yet that was a personal choice—no one else could comment on it.

Hence, the two of them lived on like that, while Zhang Yurou continued to keep in touch with Zhao Guoqiang. However, they did not commit any serious wrongdoing—it was just unpleasant for others to watch and yet there was nothing they could do about it.

As time passed, people stopped paying attention to them, and they were left to live their lives as they saw fit. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.

No one expected that the source of the virus would be found within Zhao Guoqiang, and before this, he had only been in contact with Zhang Yurou.

Qian Guizhi was also quarantined. Lying in the hospital bed, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a boot that had been hanging over head for years had finally fallen to the ground.

Fortunately, luckily, her child was now training in Beijing.

But the dream she had, she couldn’t share it with anyone.

Coming from the countryside as she did, if people from the base accused her of engaging in feudal superstition and fired her after she had worked so hard to become a permanent employee, to become a small team leader, and to obtain a respectable job that did not embarrass her son and husband, she could not afford to lose all of that. Yet she felt that the most likely person to be suspicious of was Zhang Yurou.

Thus, when Director Lin came to investigate, Qian Guizhi expressed her suspicions in a different manner. She did not mention her dreams, but suggested that Zhang Yurou, being upset and holding a grudge for not agreeing to a divorce, could have harmed Zhao Guoqiang.

Because she worked at the hospital.

By causing harm to Zhao Guoqiang, she was indirectly harming Qian Guizhi, who rarely visited the hospital and never had any contact with Zhang Yurou. Even if she wanted to harm Qian, she wouldn’t have found an opportunity, so the only way was through Zhao Guoqiang.

By this time, Zhang Yurou had already been placed under quarantine observation.

Security was tight outside her hospital room.

It was fortunate that the source was discovered early, and because there had been preparations made in this regard, the situation was not met with panic but handled in an orderly manner, with epidemic prevention measures put in place.

The research team was now working overtime to study the origin of the virus and develop medication to treat this disease.

It was believed that results would be forthcoming soon, and currently, a total of eighteen people had been quarantined. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Zhao Guoqiang’s condition was worsening.

Dressed in a protective suit, Director Lin returned to Zhao Guoqiang’s bedside. Although he had already asked before, Zhao Guoqiang said nothing and did not admit to receiving anything from Zhang Yurou that caused his illness. He only said that he had caught a cold—sweating profusely during the peak of summer, then taking a cold shower was something his age could not handle, leading to fever.

When pressed further, he remained silent, and Zhang Yurou flatly denied everything.

But she had no fever. She appeared entirely normal.

Which proved nothing. The important task at hand was to contain the virus and prevent its spread.

Otherwise, the consequences would be too dire to contemplate.

After a tense half month and with the count at eighteen people, the nineteenth person under suspicion, Zhang Yurou, had shown no fever or other abnormalities, which was quite puzzling.

After careful arrangements and deployments, a male doctor came into the view of everyone.

He had arrived at the base hospital the year before last, initially as an intern, and had now become a permanent staff member.

He was young, a graduate of the Medical University, with a good temperament and medical skills, already capable of performing surgeries independently, with a promising future ahead.

Moreover, he had a positive mindset, always seeking to progress. From all perspectives, he seemed an unlikely subject of suspicion. However, in recent times, someone had reported that the male doctor had been very close to Zhang Yurou.

The doctor’s name was Fang Yuchun.

Everyone affectionately referred to him as Doctor Xiao Fang.

And they all respected him greatly. His arrest came as a shock, but nobody dared to say anything during these extraordinary times.

A few days later, Xiao Wei arrived at the Tenghai Research Base by helicopter with two people in tow.

Despite the exhausting journey, after the plane landed at the local air base and they transferred to a jeep, they made a beeline for the base without stopping.

Upon arrival, they went straight to Director Lin’s office.

After donning protective suits, Xiao Wei, accompanied by the two individuals and carrying a stack of documents and some evidence, appeared directly in front of Doctor Fang.
