"Speaking of which, the association should be the most aware of the situation in Yizhou. Is it really that serious?" Sun Zhiyuan asked.
He looked at the sky in the distance and sighed softly, "I wonder if the Shen family rushing over will affect the situation in Yizhou. I heard the elder who first discovered the anomaly is still in a coma, and several more cases have broken out. If the Shen family can't save them, how will the people there live!"
His eyes were filled with deep worry, and the wrinkles on his face hung down heavily, as if he were extremely worried, making him look exceptionally old.
Ruan Su smiled faintly, "Political Commissar Sun really cares a lot."
Out of professional habit, she disliked discussing any classified information with others.
Sun Zhiyuan heard her lukewarm response and his expression became even more helpless, "President Ruan, aren't you the same? We entered this line of work for the country and for the people, weren't we?"
After speaking, he looked at Ruan Su, his eyes filled with passionate fervor. Ruan Su nodded noncommittally.
However, how did the news from Yizhou travel all the way to Taichuan City?
Sun Zhiyuan chatted casually with Ruan Su. Ruan Su mostly listened quietly. Some things were better said less, and she wanted to hear how much of the Yizhou situation had leaked out.
"At least ten thousand people in Yizhou are now infected, right?" Sun Zhiyuan murmured.
Ruan Su's gaze fell on the streetlights in the distance, and she nodded naturally, "I suppose so."
Seeing her affirmation, Sun Zhiyuan's regret deepened, and he continued, "I heard they caught a suspicious person?"
His information was not entirely certain. The meetings above had not specified anything, and he was concerned. He thought Ruan Su would definitely know.
"Oh??" Ruan Su also looked up in confusion and asked.
She feigned ignorance on her face, but her mind was already racing. The arrest led by Chief Qin in Yizhou had only happened yesterday. The news had already leaked out today, the day after the arrest?
Sun Zhiyuan couldn't detect any abnormality from her expression, as if she truly knew nothing.
Perhaps his information was mistaken?
Qin Ningyi, who had just changed his dressing in the lounge at the end of the corridor, also looked stern upon hearing this news. When he had called his uncle earlier, his uncle had been extremely busy and unreachable recently, which indicated the situation was indeed quite serious.
Moreover, Zhao Hengyu had not proactively reported the situation. Generally, there were two possibilities: either the organization had explicitly requested that external personnel like him be monitored by specific individuals, or he was simply too busy to spare any time.
He needed to find time to contact Zhao Hengyu again.
This matter was bizarre. If, as Sun Zhiyuan said, ten thousand people in Yizhou had already fallen, then this was no simple matter. He hoped his uncle was alright.
After a while, when Political Commissar Sun had no more specific details to share, Ruan Su smiled apologetically, "It's so late, aren't you going back, Political Commissar Sun?"
Sun Zhiyuan felt he had been chatting well with her and nodded, "I'm worried about Elder Qin. It's rare to have some free time to stay here for a night, and I feel a bit better. Besides, Dr. Shen is a treasure of our country. Since we know about this matter, I definitely want to see Dr. Shen is alright before I can rest easy."
"Political Commissar Sun is truly kind-hearted."
Ruan Su's praise was not baseless. At his age and position in this era, it was already very rare for Sun Zhiyuan to stay here. "They say you, Political Commissar, are full of passion for the country and the people. Seeing you today, it is indeed true."
After the praise and listening, Ruan Su tidied her clothes. She put on a professional smile and was about to find an excuse to leave, "I still have..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was movement in the corridor again. The operating room door opened, and Elder Shen pushed Shen Wuyou out of the operating room. As Ruan Su and Sun Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward to greet him, Qin Ningyi quietly emerged from the lounge and also approached Elder Shen.
"Little Qin." Elder Shen had rushed over after receiving a notification from that military unit. He had also heard about Qin Ningyi saving Shen Wuyou. At this moment, the usually proud scholar nodded slightly, "Wuyou is still in your care. I need to rush back now."
"So hurried?" Sun Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask, seeing Elder Shen leaving without even staying to see Shen Wuyou's follow-up treatment.
Elder Shen did not show a good face to everyone. His eyes were still only on Qin Ningyi, "Was it your plane that brought me here? Chief Qin asked me not to be polite to you. Now, please take me back."
Seeing how anxious he was, Qin Ningyi gained a better understanding of the situation in Yizhou.
As the roar of the engines signaled Qin Ningyi seeing Elder Shen off and everything returned to silence, he dialed Zhao Hengyu's number.
