Chapter 425: Danger
This last ultimatum was like stamping a death certificate. The villagers looked at each other in disbelief. Among them, a man in a blue robe walked forward and said pleadingly, “Doctor! Please save our village chief! Our village can’t do without him! We, we can give you money!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers quickly took out a few notes from their old and tattered pockets. There was even a one-dollar bill. Just by looking at the money, one would know that this was all they had! They were about to give the money to Doctor Li but he dodged reflexively and said, “Please calm down. There’s a fine for accepting money privately!”
He adjusted his glasses. “Besides, even if you guys do this, what can I do if I can’t save him? I came out to ask you a few things. Has anything bad happened to this village chief recently? Has it caused him to be depressed?”
Something bad?
Blue Robe said awkwardly, “Doctor, can you be more explicit? We don’t quite understand what you mean. The village chief was never unhappy before he was sent to the hospital. He was quite happy all day. Not long ago, he even called for a meeting and said that he wanted to jump around to prove that there was no problem with the preventive medicine. In the end…”
The man was gone.
This caught them off guard. It was too sudden! They did not expect the preventive medicine to be so vicious! If they had known that this would happen today, they would have chased Lu Yaohua out like a disaster! To think that they wanted to build a temple for such a person! Their good intentions were wasted!
When Doctor Li heard the words ‘preventive medicine’, he frowned. He had seen this on the Internet. At that time, he thought that Xingwei Pharmaceutical’s moral conduct was not bad. The fact was, when he first saw the village chief, he thought that he had experienced a major change in his life, so he wanted to commit suicide by taking poison!
This was because based on his experience, this poison was not consumed in a day or two. It had accumulated over some time. It was just that he was getting old and the effect happened to erupt all of a sudden. He felt that even if the top experts in the industry came, they would probably not be able to snatch him from the Grim Reaper within a short period of time!
As for now…
Was it actually the Xingwei Preventive Medicine? He suddenly thought of the worst-case scenario. Could it be that they had made a fake medicine? If that was the case, wouldn’t he have to prevent human disasters after eliminating the natural disaster? He remembered that many colleagues had said that their loved ones had bought this medicine. He could not imagine how many people would die!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists slowly.
Before he could say anything, the villagers asked at once.
“Doctor? Why aren’t you saying anything? You’re making us panic! If anything bad really happens, just tell us. We’ll definitely listen to you. If you want us to go east, we won’t go west! As long as you say something! Otherwise, I feel uneasy!”
“That’s right! Is it because Village Chief has some other illness, or is there really a problem with this preventive medicine? If it’s the latter, we must sue Lu Yaohua in court. He’s so heartless. We didn’t know who he really was! We thought it was a good thing, but we didn’t expect it to be a disaster!”
“Doctor, say something. We don’t know what to do now that we’ve lost our mainstay.”
…
Doctor Li sighed and said, “Which of you has the Xingwei Preventive Medicine on you? Before I come to a conclusion, don’t take this medicine for the time being. If my conjecture is right, whoever takes this medicine will probably die! Do you understand the importance of this matter?”
As doctors, they naturally did not believe in those marketing slogans. It was already quite good that a drug could prevent diseases. It was not an elixir or panacea, so how could it have so many functions? However, since it was a business strategy, and they were not in the industry, they could not say anything.
But based on his current guess, this was just the tip of the iceberg!
How did a preventive drug that doesn’t really work pass the review??He recalled the talk show he happened to watch not long ago.?Tang Wenyi, the Tang family??He pursed his lips tightly. Such a force was not something an ordinary doctor like him could deal with!
He looked at the scowling villagers in front of him. If he didn’t tell the truth, how many more people would die? Ten? A hundred? The strings of reason and sensibility tugged at him crazily. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the oath he had memorized before he entered school.
He took a deep breath and said firmly, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”
“You’re a good person! Thank you! Thank you!”
The few of them quickly bowed and thanked him. Then Blue Robe handed the preventive medicine to him and said, “I wanted to leave a few pills for my child, but he’s studying in the city and hasn’t returned. Does that mean I can’t give him these pills? He’s a young man with a healthy body.”
“Even if Superman comes, he won’t be able to withstand this medicinal effect.”
Doctor Li complained, “No matter how good your health is, you can’t take this medicine! By the way, there’s only one person with a problem in your village. Everyone else is fine, right?”
Blue Robe hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Several villagers are lying in bed and can’t get up. At first, we wanted to send them to the hospital, but the village chief told us that they would get better after taking preventive medicine. I wonder if they’re still alive? Should we bring them along?”
Several more?!
Doctor Li held his forehead.?They had been fooled!
“Is it above double digits?”
Blue Robe did a count with his companions and finally came up with an answer. “It’s more than that. What should we do with those people? Will they die too?”
This time, Doctor Li did not know what to say. This was just a small town. Where would they find many good doctors and top-notch equipment? If they could hold on, they might be able to survive. But what about those with weak physiques? Wouldn’t they have to wait for death?
“I’ll try my best.”
This was his greatest guarantee. He would contact the other hospitals as soon as possible. It would be even better if a certain company could make a real preventive medicine. At least the situation would not be as hopeless as now. He could not even see the end of it! He could only do everything within his means with a clear conscience!
“You, no, forget it. I’ll send doctors in protective suits to your village to bring the sick people over. When you go back, remember to spray disinfectant everywhere. Don’t go out casually and wear a mask. This epidemic is extremely contagious. If you’re not careful, you can get infected easily. Tell the others this as well. If there’s no disinfectant, take it from me directly!”
After receiving the orders, the villagers finally realized the seriousness of the matter. This medicine might be many times stronger than they had imagined!
