The atmosphere in the room fell silent upon hearing Chen Tong's verdict.
After a good while, Elder He suddenly stood up from the sofa, agitated, and paced around the room. He spread his hands, his mouth opening and closing as if wanting to speak, then stammered, "No... that can't be right. How could a virus from Country M appear in Huaxia? Da Feng Novel Network.
It's not like our He family does anything ostentatious. Plus, our influence is so vast. Country M shouldn't be so reckless as to cut off their own major source of income and target us, right?
Chen Tong, are you sure your test results are accurate! If not, re-examine them carefully. Tell me what equipment you need, and I'll have Zi Yu get it for you. Then, you can re-examine my wife again!"
Seeing Elder He trembling, Chen Tong quickly stepped forward, took out an acupuncture needle, and inserted it into an acupoint on him. After stabilizing Elder He's emotions, he slowly began to explain, "I know this result might be hard for you to accept, but is this just speculation? I don't have enough evidence yet to prove that Sister He is infected with neurotoxin.
The reason I'm bringing this up is, firstly, to prepare you all. Secondly, I currently have no contact with people from Country M. You'll have to let Zi Yu step in to inquire about the news. Zi Yu has some reputation in the medical field, and his network is much wider than mine. Verifying this matter will be much simpler for him! If it's not neurotoxin, then it's a stroke of luck, but if it is, we need to find the antidote as soon as possible!"
Elder He crouched down somewhat powerlessly and held his head with his hands. Seeing this, Chen Li Shu quickly, with a frown, went to his side, helped him up, and then looked him earnestly in the eyes, saying, "Godfather, call Third Brother and see if he has any solutions!
Things have already escalated, so we naturally cannot retreat. The urgent matter now is to find the antidote as quickly as possible. Only then can Godmother's health be restored. If we do nothing, what about Godmother's health? Are we just going to watch her..."
At this point, Chen Li Shu paused. Her expression was exceptionally solemn. From this moment on, she understood even more deeply the meaning of being soft-hearted to enemies is being cruel to oneself! Zhang Wan'er definitely had to be held accountable.
Elder He pursed his thin lips after hearing Chen Li Shu's words and said, "You're right. Nothing can go wrong with my wife. Quickly, go get my phone. I need to call Zi Yu now!"
Seeing Elder He regain hope, the stone that had been weighing on Chen Li Shu's heart finally fell. She quickly took out her phone and handed it to Elder He, "Godfather."
Elder He took the phone and, with trembling hands, dialed He Zi Yu's number.
As soon as the call connected, He Zi Yu's tired voice came through, "Dad, don't you know that China and Country M are in different time zones? You're calling me at this hour. Are you not planning on letting me sleep!
You've been back in China for quite some time, and you haven't called us brothers. Calling so suddenly today, don't tell me you miss me. Speak, how do you plan on torturing me today?"
He Zi Yu, speaking into the phone, rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up. When he saw Elder He's eyes filled with tears on the screen, his expression froze for a moment, and then he asked in disbelief, "Dad, you wouldn't be missing me so much that you specifically called just to cry in front of me, would you?
If you really miss us brothers that much, then tomorrow we'll book the earliest flight for you to come see us directly. There's no need to be so sentimental; it makes me uncomfortable! By the way, why do I only see you? Where's Mom? I have something I want to tell Mom. Can you hand the phone to her?"
"Your mother is not feeling well and has already gone to sleep," Elder He said, then turned to look at Madam He, who was sleeping soundly in bed. His eyes became even redder.
He Zi Yu had never seen Elder He like this before. His intuition told him that something might have happened at home, so he quickly jumped out of bed with a carp flip and asked worriedly, "Dad, you just said Mom isn't feeling well. What exactly is wrong?"
Elder He didn't beat around the bush and directly told He Zi Yu everything that had happened recently. When He Zi Yu heard that Madam He might have been infected with the latest new virus developed by Country M, his emotions suddenly became agitated, "Who? Who the hell gave Mom the drug?
You know this virus has always been claimed to have no antidote. If you don't have connections, you can't even get this stuff! I'm coming back to China right now. I want to see what kind of person Zhang Wan'er is, and how capable she is to extend her reach to Country M!"
Chen Li Shu, who had been listening silently to the father and son's conversation, stepped forward to stop He Zi Yu upon hearing that he was returning to China. "Third Brother, taking care of Godmother and bringing the culprit to justice, that can be left to me. The urgent matter for you now is to contact those people in the laboratory and inquire about the virus situation.
I can clearly feel that Godmother's health has not been good recently. I'm worried that if we delay, her age, and her body's overall condition will start to decline, which could worsen her illness. Even this period of time..."
Chen Li Shu's words were not finished, but everyone present understood the implication. He Zi Yu lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and then said to Elder He, "Leave Mom's matters to me. Don't worry, I have people I've placed in the laboratory! Since I can't go back, I'll call Second Brother and ask him to go back and stay with you both."
Upon hearing that He Zi Nian was returning, Elder He quickly raised his head to refuse, "Don't tell your second brother about this yet. He's been investigating the truth behind the deaths of the Meng couple lately, day and night.
His pressure is already immense. I'm worried that telling him this news will not only delay the investigation into the truth of the Meng couple's deaths but also exhaust him!"
