Chapter 403: Can’t Live For Another Month

Beauty Wu was a little dumbfounded.
He hung up just like that?
She put her phone in her pocket and said to Captain Wang, who was looking at her suspiciously, “It’s my Brother Wei.”
Captain Wang said, “It’s good to be young.” He patted Beauty Wu’s shoulder and said in a deep tone, “Young people, we’re going to investigate tonight. We’re going to sweep the dirt and drugs. Young people, I think highly of you.”
Beauty Wu looked at the sunrise in the east and said to Captain Wang, “It’s just dawn. Why are you talking about the dark?”
“Hehe…”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Shuyi held the phone and trembled.
Thinking about what Zhuang Long had said, Wei Shuyi tried his best to maintain his composure for a few hours before finally breaking down completely. He kicked the bin in the living room and watched as the bin rolled on the ground before stopping.
Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but sit on the ground.
He saw the wedding ring on his ring finger and thought of Beauty Wu and the beautiful promises they had made.
Building a villa in the suburbs, building a small courtyard, digging a swimming pool, playing with the children, and studying with the children…
Thinking of all these beautiful things, Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but cry.
“Why…”
“Why…”
His hoarse voice spread in the darkness over and over again.
No one could tell him the answer.
Ji Yinbing really arrived in New York the next day.
She took a car straight to Zhuang Long’s house and went straight to his laboratory.
Zhuang Long was in the laboratory, wearing a spotless white coat and holding Wei Shuyi’s blood sample. His expression was calm, and no one could read his thoughts from his handsome face.
Ji Yinbing changed her clothes and entered the laboratory.
Zhuang Long looked up at her and continued to lower his head to do a test.
Ji Yinbing walked over and handed him a bag of documents.
“What?” Zhuang Long was finally willing to divert his attention to speak.
Ji Yinbing sat down on her high seat and said to Zhuang Long, “Before I came, I collected some information. Tell me first who this patient you’re treating is.”
“A stranger.”
Ji Yinbing heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s good.”
“What’s wrong?” Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows and asked Ji Yinbing, “Is the situation very serious?”
“This virus was developed by the Golden Triangle. The patients there are known as the ‘Kowtow Patients’.”
Zhuang Long gave her a puzzled look.
Ji Yinbing explained, “That’s because when a patient’s illness acted up, he would be in so much pain that when he can’t take it anymore, he would kneel on the ground and kowtow to the ground in pain.” She took out a few photos from the document bag.
As his eyes swept across the pictures, Zhuang Long’s gaze became more serious.
“Who developed this virus?”
“You know him. Fu Fu.”
Zhuang Long’s eyes flashed with disdain. “He went to the Golden Triangle?”
“Yes.”
“That little rat in the ditch. He deserves a beating and an earful.”
Fu Fu was the scum of the medical world. He had done a few notorious human biopsy experiments just to develop some messy viruses. This person was even more despicable than the Nazis in World War II. Zhuang Long hated little rats like him.
“Since he developed it, then I have to find the antidote.”
Ji Yinbing knew that Zhuang Long would say that.
“Anyone who has been infected with this virus will not live for more than a month, so this virus is also called ‘One Month of Red’.” Ji Yinbing brought the other two photos to Zhuang Long. She pointed at the photo and said, “Look, all the poisoned people will die like the people in the photo. They will bleed from their seven apertures and die with foam at the mouth. In the Golden Triangle, bosses will they inject this virus into people only when punishing them for a big mistake.”
“He can only live for a month at most?” Zhuang Long’s eyes darkened. “My patient’s first symptoms were six days ago.”
Ji Yinbing said, “We won’t be able to figure out the antidote in twenty days.”
“I know.”
Zhuang Long took off his white gloves and picked up the bloody photo on the table with his well-defined fingers.
A moment later, he put down the photo and got up to walk out. As he walked, he said, “I’ll go make a call.”
After leaving the laboratory, Zhuang Long found the contact information he had left behind and called the Cleveland Clinic. When the call connected to Wei Shuyi’s office, it was already a minute later.
“Hello, I’m Wei Shuyi.”
“Mr. Wei, I’m Zhuang Long.”
Wei Shuyi sat up straight.
His hand that was not holding the microphone was gripping his pants tightly.
He asked Zhuang Long in a tight voice, “Mr. Zhuang Long, have you analyzed the results?”
Zhuang Long did not beat around the bush and told him directly, “Now, we can confirm that the virus you’re suffering from comes from the Golden Triangle. Mr. Wei, have you offended someone?” Zhuang Long was a little puzzled. How could a doctor like Wei Shuyi get such a virus?
Wei Shuyi wanted to say no, but when he heard about the Golden Triangle, Wei Shuyi suddenly thought of Beauty Wu.
The Golden Triangle was one of the most chaotic places in the world.
That place was the birthplace of drugs. And beside him, there was someone who was inextricably linked to drugs—Beauty Wu.
Seeing Wei Shuyi’s silence, Zhuang Long understood everything.
“Mr. Wei, as far as I know, everyone who has been infected with this virus will not live past a month. You…”
Zhuang Long stopped talking.
“I will try to develop the antidote in the shortest time possible.” Even if he can’t save him, he can still save other people in the future.
Wei Shuyi understood what Zhuang Long meant.
“Thank you, Mr. Zhuang Long.”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Shuyi suddenly relaxed his grip on his pants.
He turned his head and stared blankly out of the window.
His eyes were filled with death. There was no hope in them, only despair.
Countdown: 24 days.
He had to do something.
Wei Shuyi stood up. The first thing he wanted to do was to end his internship at the Cleveland Clinic early. The second thing he wanted to do was to return to Beauty Wu’s side.
He would think about the rest later.
The hospital was surprised by Wei Shuyi’s decision, but they respected it.
The clinic approved his termination.
Without calling in advance, Wei Shuyi packed his things and returned to China.
Last night, the team raided several prostitution houses in Binjiang City and caught many sellers, prostitutes, and a group of young people who gathered to take drugs. They were busy for the entire night.
Hence, the next day, many of them rested at home.
Beauty Wu was also resting at home.
She slept until three in the afternoon before she got up and made some food. Then, she rode to the bureau for work.
She was about to doze off in the middle of the night.
She sat behind her desk and knocked her head on the wooden fish. In adaze, she realized that a black shadow was walking over. Beauty Wu looked up in confusion. She thought that the person was a colleague from another department, but it was someone unexpected.
