My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 620: Found the Mastermind Behind the Scenes 2
Mo Yinhe heard this and immediately understood that she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.
"Okay."
Mo Yinhe agreed with this idea. He had people release the news and then said, "Rather than us releasing the news, it would be better to have your Master Zhang go out for a bit. Master Ban is her husband, and no one’s condition is more persuasive than hers."
Si Mingjing, infuriated, lifted her leg and kicked Mo Yinhe. "My Master Zhang is already exhausted, body and soul, and you still want her to go out and act? That’s unfilial!"
Her kick didn’t hurt, but her temper was certainly fiery.
Mo Yinhe made a show of slapping his own face, coaxing her and asking her not to be angry.
Si Mingjing said, "I’ll go! No, we’ll go together! We’ll go outside and have a public argument. I’ll insist on keeping Master Ban here for treatment, while you’ll claim he’s critically ill and must be moved out of Yecheng University to prevent more infections. When the time comes, you need to act more heartless and ruthless. After all, you already have a reputation for being harsh..."
Mo Yinhe: "..."
Seeing that his wife was still fuming, Mo Yinhe didn’t argue. He accepted the role of the villain, saying, "Alright, I’ll be the bad guy. Darling, I can’t bear to argue with you."
"Get lost! Yesterday, when you turned me into a cute chibi dragon, I didn’t see you holding back then, did I?"
Is that the same thing? That was just for fun.
"This is a mission!" Si Mingjing said.
So, the two of them really did have an argument on campus, and it was quite fierce. News of the incident quickly spread throughout the school.
The school was already in a state of panic, and their argument only escalated the tension.
Even Dean Chen personally came to inquire about the condition of Professor Ban and Academician Zhou.
Si Mingjing covered her face with her hands and cried. She said, "I didn’t realize it was this serious. How am I supposed to treat this disease? Neither my master’s nor Academician Zhou’s condition has improved at all; in fact, they’re getting worse. How are the patients in the affiliated hospital? Has an effective treatment been found yet?"
Dean Chen shook his head. "The situation in the hospital is the same as yours. We originally thought that with your and your master’s medical skills, there might still be some hope. I didn’t expect that even you... How is your master, really?"
Si Mingjing’s eyes were red-rimmed. "He’s in critical condition and has already been put on an ECMO machine. What about the school? Are there any new cases?"
Dean Chen looked even more troubled than she did. "There are new cases every day," he said. "We’ve already cleared out the school auditorium to isolate mild cases. Professors from the Medical College are in charge of the specifics, with medical students assisting. Several of the more skilled students from your College of Traditional Chinese Medicine have also volunteered to help."
The Dean’s arrangements were thorough; there was nothing to criticize.
Si Mingjing asked, "Is Mu Genggeng also there?"
After the banquet that night, Mu Genggeng had been taken away by Yan Mu, and Si Mingjing hadn’t inquired about her since.
The Dean nodded and praised Mu Genggeng. "I heard Student Mu attended the banquet at your home and caused some unpleasantness? The school was originally going to penalize her, but given the special circumstances, she has volunteered to help out at the hospital."
"The hospital?"
"Yes, the affiliated hospital is short-staffed and needs some medical students to help. Many are afraid to go, but Mu Genggeng said she had made mistakes and wanted to redeem herself. She was the first to volunteer and went to the isolation ward of the affiliated hospital to assist with the work."
She certainly is proactive.
Si Mingjing narrowed her eyes but didn’t ask any more questions about Mu Genggeng.
「Five days passed in a flash amidst the widespread anxiety.」
Both Ban Chugang and Academician Zhou had recovered under the meticulous care of Si Mingjing and other experts, but they didn’t announce it publicly. Ban Chugang and Academician Zhou had been seriously ill, leaving their vitality greatly depleted. They needed rest and recuperation, so they remained isolated in the villa.
Seeing that Master Ban and Academician Zhou were out of danger, Si Mingjing breathed a sigh of relief, and her spirits lifted considerably.
Just then, Dean Chen called, his voice filled with excitement. "Director Si, we’ve found a prescription that can combat this virus! Do you have a pen handy? I’ll dictate the formula to you. Take a quick look and see if it can be used for Professor Ban and Academician Zhou. This prescription is effective! There was a student in the hospital on an ECMO machine, and after using this formula, their condition improved from severe to mild!"
Si Mingjing was slightly taken aback. "What prescription?"
"Just write it down first."
Si Mingjing took a pen and noted down the prescription as Dean Chen dictated it. Squinting her phoenix-like eyes at the paper, she asked, "Is this prescription effective? How many clinical trial subjects were there? Who developed this formula?"
Dean Chen was incredibly excited, feeling as if his medical college had discovered a prodigious student. "It’s Student Mu Genggeng from your department! She’s truly a medical genius! Western medicine was at a loss with this virus, but she found an effective prescription to conquer it."
Si Mingjing’s gaze turned colder. "Mu Genggeng?"
"Yes, it’s her! For the past few days, she’s been working tirelessly at the hospital. In addition to her volunteer duties, she pored over numerous medical texts and formulated a prescription.
"Initially, the doctors at the affiliated hospital didn’t take her suggestion seriously and ignored the prescription she proposed. It was a severely ill student who proactively asked Student Mu Genggeng to prescribe it for him.
"After taking the prescription Mu Genggeng provided, that student’s condition improved from severe to mild in just three days! The entire affiliated hospital was stunned!
"This student from your department truly is a medical genius!"
Si Mingjing didn’t refute his claim. She simply said, "Alright, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Ban Chugang, who was resting on a nearby sofa, asked her, "Mingjing, what’s happened?"
Si Mingjing picked up the prescription and studied it quietly for a moment. Handing it to Master Ban, she said, "This is a prescription developed by Mu Genggeng. Dean Chen said it’s significantly effective in treating the virus."
Ban Chugang took the prescription, looked at it, and said, "This is different from the one you developed."
"Yes."
Si Mingjing had indeed examined it carefully; it was different from the prescription she had developed. Mu Genggeng hadn’t plagiarized her formula. Could she really have come up with this on her own?
Ban Chugang then wrote down Si Mingjing’s prescription and compared the two. "Although a few of the medicinal ingredients are different, their functions are similar," he observed. "It’s just that her prescription is more potent, while yours is milder. If she truly developed this on her own, then she certainly has some skill."
Academician Zhou also took the prescription to examine it. He said in surprise, "Student Mu Genggeng developed this? What’s the effect on those who’ve taken this treatment? If the medication is aggressive, it might show rapid results in the short term, but side effects could gradually emerge later.
"Your prescription, Mingjing, is very gentle and causes less harm to the body, so it needs to be used in conjunction with Western medicine.
"However, Student Mu Genggeng’s prescription doesn’t require Western medical support. One could say each has its own merits and demerits."
However, if it were up to him, Academician Zhou would definitely prefer Mingjing’s prescription. It was gentler, with fewer side effects—much more suitable for his aging body. Mu Genggeng’s prescription, on the other hand, would not be kind to him; only the young and robust could likely withstand it.
In the affiliated hospital, most of the infected individuals were students, all young and strong, so the aggressive nature of the medication wasn’t as apparent. Moreover, with no other effective treatment available, discovering one—even if it was somewhat aggressive—was a tremendous blessing for the affiliated hospital.
