I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 599 - 585: Her Revenge_3

Doctor Fang stared at the two individuals, completely stupefied. He had never expected to encounter them here.

Much less did he anticipate that they would bring his superior with them.

It was a terrifying situation.

His psychological defenses crumbled instantly.

Faced with the human and material evidence, he had no choice but to confess.

Zhang Yurou was his accomplice, whom he had turned against him last year. Harboring resentment, she believed Zhao Guoqiang to be a bastard, a deceiver, and she constantly sought an opportunity for revenge. Then, as Doctor Fang got to know her better, he recruited her to his side.

And promised her a significant sum of money to send her abroad once the plan succeeded.

Zhang Yurou agreed readily, without even considering the consequences.

Her only thought was to exact revenge on that detestable man and his wife, wishing to send them both to the afterlife. The people at the base were no better; they always looked at her with such judgmental eyes. Each one of them, like moral guardians, she wished they would all perish, especially those living happily, be it adults or children.

Knowing they couldn’t hide the truth, both of them confessed.

Naturally, they faced a dire fate. Then, Director Lin took these testimonies to Zhao Guoqiang’s hospital room to tell him that Zhang Yurou had infected him with a virus, not wanting him to live.

Zhao Guoqiang was having trouble breathing.

Regret flickered in his eyes. freēwēbnovel.com

Struggling, he said to Director Lin, "... Old Lin, I really didn’t do anything with her. I didn’t pester her. She said, as long as we didn’t lose contact... that she could live well, that even just talking or glancing at her from afar would satisfy her. Otherwise, she would seek death. That was her words... I have my duties, if she had said it directly to me... to me..."

Unable to continue, he then went into emergency treatment.

Fortunately, the medical team had already developed their first treatment plan, and he was pulled back from the brink of death. Everyone was surprised; Zhao Guoqiang was the most critically ill, and while he hadn’t improved, his condition hadn’t worsened either, which meant that the first medical plan was effective.

It was then administered to the others, who had milder cases. However, an elderly man who was already frail—Zhao Guoqiang’s neighbor, who had spoken to him face-to-face—contracted the infection.

The old man didn’t survive the rescue attempt.

The remaining seventeen patients, including Zhao Guoqiang, were stable.

Qian Guizhi, with her robust health, recovered the fastest.

Then, the special medical team introduced second and third treatment plans, followed by the use of corresponding medications.

Half a month later, the lockdown was lifted, and all seventeen patients were discharged. Regrettably, since Zhao Guoqiang had the most severe illness, he was left frail, always coughing, and was now recuperating at home.

But his health was not what it had been before. By the state of his body, he was now in an elderly condition, though he was actually in the prime of his life.

There was no helping it; one reaps what one sows. His words were nothing but excuses. If he had stood upright and dealt cleanly with his marital life, this disaster might have been avoided. Nor would it have implicated others.

Nevertheless, it must be said that Zhang Yurou had sunk to a certain level of moral decay.

Such individuals are truly dangerous. Had it not been for this incident provoking her, some other matter might have led her to commit equally deranged acts.

Finally, Qiao Qingyu could go outside again. During this period, everyone was confined to their homes. Fortunately, with televisions and radios, they weren’t too lonely—just isolated in their own yards.

Qiao Qingyu was wary of her neighbor Liu Ying using this time to harm Rongrong. However, she discovered that Liu Ying was extremely timid.

It wasn’t so much that she was cowardly but that she was quite concerned about her own survival, a delicate egoist.

During the quarantine, she behaved impeccably.

And she protected her daughter well. For almost a month, Qiao Qingyu, wandering around the yard, didn’t see the other family outside.

And if they did come out, they were fully armed with face masks.

It must be said, she truly took great care of herself.

Even so, Qiao Qingyu didn’t want her to often stay at the base and appear before Rongrong.

Thus, with an order, she transferred Liu Ying to the red sage planting technical guidance center of the Tenghai Agricultural Group at Pingliang Dam, appointing her office director—a newly added department. For the current Liu Ying, it was a promotion.

She hadn’t made any mistakes at present, so they couldn’t do much to her, and in truth, she didn’t dare do anything to Rongrong.

Because she had a daughter.

Liu Ying was a woman who deeply loved her daughter. The foremost reason for her thick skin was her desire to be by her child’s side.

But caution was still necessary.
