My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 618: Mo Yinhe’s Punishment: Q-Version Cute Dragon Si Mingjing Play for a Day 2
Yecheng was an important port leading to Atlantis. With a booming tourism industry, it experienced a large volume of population movement. If Yecheng was not locked down and people were allowed to move freely, it could potentially cause a massive epidemic disaster in Atlantis.
Mo Yinhe was also afraid because he had witnessed the virus’s contagiousness. He immediately issued a government decree: "Close all ports immediately, halt the tourism industry, and forbid anyone from the mainland from coming to Atlantis for tourism."
"Yes, Your Excellency, I’ll take care of it right away!"
After the Minister of Foreign Affairs left, Mo Yinhe called his father on the mainland to explain the seriousness of the situation.
Over the phone, Ye Junqing said, "I’ve already received a call from the hospital confirming there’s a patient. It’s not an outsider, but a student from Yecheng University. I’ve ordered the lockdown of Yecheng University and its affiliated medical college to stop the movement of people."
"Dad, that’s not enough. Activate the protective shield immediately to prevent anyone from leaving Yecheng."
"Okay." Ye Junqing had not witnessed the severity of an epidemic firsthand but had heard about it and knew this virus was terrifying.
Mo Yinhe continued, "Identify all close contacts of that patient, and secondary close contacts, and quarantine them all. Don’t let a single one slip through the net!"
After giving detailed instructions, Mo Yinhe hung up the phone. The office fell silent.
Mo Yinhe paused in thought for a minute, then made a call to prepare for a meeting to discuss specific contingency plans for Atlantis’s defense against the virus.
Si Mingjing, in his chibi dragon form, tilted his head. How could there be a case at Yecheng University? Could it have come from the Mu Continent? That shouldn’t be possible...
"I’ll go to Yecheng University and see how patient zero was infected!" Si Mingjing, the little guy, jumped from Mo Yinhe’s lap onto the desk, tilting his small head as he spoke.
"We already have the secret formula for treating the virus and the traditional Chinese medicine to prevent it. There’s no need to panic. We can immediately requisition the traditional Chinese medicine from the pharmaceutical plant and distribute a box to every citizen in Yecheng as a preventative measure." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
They had already passed the initial stage of being completely ignorant about the virus and having no measures to counteract it.
As long as they took proactive prevention and control measures, there should be no widespread transmission.
"Thankfully, I had already instructed Lun Bobing to produce the traditional Chinese medicine for preventing the virus, and the pharmaceutical plant has it in stock now."
"Don’t panic!" Mo Yinhe suddenly leaned back in his chair, squinting as he said, "First, let’s investigate how patient zero became infected. My intuition tells me this might not be an ordinary, sudden incident. What if someone is trying to stir up trouble in Yecheng?"
Actually, Si Mingjing felt the same way.
"Then, let’s observe for a week to see if anyone is causing trouble. First, lock down Yecheng University; otherwise, the epidemic could spread throughout the city."
Mo Yinhe agreed with this plan. He wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep peacefully without getting to the bottom of it.
Thus, Yecheng University and its affiliated medical college were sealed off. The municipal government acted quickly; the military immediately set up cordons to prevent any movement of personnel in or out of Yecheng University and its affiliated medical college.
Then, the epidemic prevention department moved in for disinfection.
Coincidentally, Lu Jinyi was staying at the Yecheng University Affiliated Medical College.
Hua Jinse stood at the window, staring down at the cordon, her brows furrowed.
What was going on?
The entire hospital was in a state of panic.
A nurse walked in, attempting to calm the patients.
Hua Jinse turned and asked, "What happened?"
The nurse said, "A patient in the hospital might be contagious. But don’t panic; that patient has already been isolated. The epidemic prevention department is coming to disinfect every corner of the hospital now, so please stay in your rooms and don’t wander around."
Actually, the nurse didn’t know what was truly happening, nor did she understand what a virus was. She only knew that a patient had contracted an infectious disease.
After the nurse left, Lu Jinyi and Hua Jinse exchanged glances. Could it be what we’re thinking? they wondered.
At that moment, Si Mingjing sent Lu Jinyi a WeChat message. Actually, it was Mo Yinhe who sent it on Si Mingjing’s behalf.
The content was very brief: "There’s a virus patient in the hospital where you’re staying. Someone will come to pick you up in five minutes. Don’t move before they arrive."
After reading it, Lu Jinyi exclaimed, "Damn it! Do we have to be this unlucky?"
Fortunately, his sister said someone was coming to take him and Jinse out of the hospital!
Sure enough, someone arrived five minutes later, dressed in full protective gear, treating them as if they were dangerous individuals.
After picking them up, they did not take them to the palace but to a separate villa.
Preventive medication was delivered, which they took. Specialized medical personnel were also assigned to manage Lu Jinyi’s post-operative rehabilitation, and everything was meticulously arranged.
However, until it was confirmed that they were not infected, they had to stay in the villa and were not allowed to go anywhere else.
Essentially, they were quarantined!
Lu Jinyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Is my sister trying to create an opportunity for me to be alone with Hua Jinse? But does it have to be so heart-pounding every time?
Lying in his room in the villa, Lu Jinyi apologized to Hua Jinse, "I’m sorry you have to be stuck with me for the foreseeable future. Your company must have a lot for you to handle, and yet because of me... Jinse, don’t worry, we won’t get infected."
Hua Jinse was indeed frustrated; this disrupted her work plan. Originally, she had planned to leave Yecheng that night and return to the Mu Continent.
Hua Jinse stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and called her subordinate. She informed them of the special circumstances and instructed them to put all her work arrangements for the upcoming period on hold.
Then, she walked to the bed and said, "It’s alright. I’m not that busy anyway."
「Meanwhile」
After ensuring Lu Jinyi was settled, Si Mingjing called his two masters at Yecheng University. "Masters, I’ve sent a batch of medicine to Yecheng University that can prevent virus infection. I hope you can arrange for every student to take a box. But for now, don’t tell them its exact purpose; just say it’s a common medicine that boosts immunity..."
Si Mingjing told his masters over the phone that they feared this outbreak was not a natural disaster but a man-made catastrophe.
Zhang Meimei replied over the phone, "I understand. Don’t worry, I know how to get the students to take the medicine without raising suspicion."
"Thank you, Master. Please also take care of yourself and don’t get infected. I will go to Yecheng tomorrow..."
"Don’t come. What would you do here? Leave Yecheng University to me!" Zhang Meimei was worried her beloved disciple would get infected.
"I’ll be fine. My immune system has already developed resistance to the virus. But you and Master Ban must be careful!"
Zhang Meimei said she would be fine. However, that very night, her husband, Ban Chugang, fell ill.
The illness struck suddenly, without any prior warning. He developed a high fever that wouldn’t subside, having contracted the virus. This shocked Si Mingjing so much that he rushed over that very night!
