"Yes, I hid all the candy wrappers in a tree hole."

Panpan led Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei to a large tree and took out a stack of candy wrappers from a tree hole.

“I didn’t dare bring it home, afraid my parents would scold me, so I hid it here.”

Gu Pingwei took the candy wrapper and handed it to Chen Hong.

"Take this stack of candy wrappers for testing to see if there are any suspicious residues on them. Also, investigate the source of these candies and who handled them. We need to investigate them one by one, paying special attention to foreigners."

"Yes, Major."

Chen Hong understood immediately and took the candy wrapper to conduct the survey.

Panpan doesn't quite understand the adults' actions.

She blinked and asked in a very soft voice, "Mom, am I being too greedy?"

Jiang Jingxue patted Panpan's head.

"No, it's normal for kids to love candy. Mom will buy you lots of candy from now on, so you won't have to pick up other kids' candy wrappers anymore."

In fact, Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei should thank Panpan.

Fortunately, she kept the candy wrappers, which allowed the investigation to continue.

Otherwise, the entire trail would be completely cut off.

"Dr. Niu isn't feeling well today, so I'm going to check on the patients. Panpan, you push Daddy back first, okay?"

Jiang Jingxue said goodbye to Gu Pingwei and went to the patient area.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Professor Yue and Yue Keqi learning about the patient's condition.

Yue Keqi followed behind Professor Yue with a reluctant expression, keeping a distance from the patients, her disdain written all over her face.

"Miss Jiang."

Professor Yue saw Jiang Jingxue and walked towards her.

"Professor Yue."

Jiang Jingxue also greeted Professor Yue politely.

When Yue Keqi saw Jiang Jingxue behind him, the anger in her eyes was so intense that she wanted to burn her to ashes.

Jiang Jingxue didn't even glance at Yue Keqi, completely ignoring her.

“Ms. Jiang, the patients say that the traditional Chinese medicine you give them is quite effective. Could you give me the prescription? I want to try to extract a special medicine. With a special medicine, I won’t have to go through the trouble of decocting medicine every day, and it can also play a certain preventive role for people who are not infected.”

This was exactly what Jiang Jingxue was thinking.

Specialty drugs can be mass-produced and are more convenient to take than decocting medicine.

"sure!"

Jiang Jingxue quickly wrote the prescription on a piece of paper and handed it to Professor Yue.

"Professor Yue, thank you for your hard work."

"You're the ones who are really working hard. I'll go back to the lab this afternoon to set up a research group. Ms. Jiang, let Keqi stay here and help you."

"dad!"

Yue Keqi was somewhat unwilling upon hearing this.

"I want to go back with you!"

Looking at the room full of sickly patients lying haphazardly, she felt utterly disgusted and had no intention of staying to help!

“What can you do if you go back? Pingwei and Miss Jiang are both on the front lines of disaster relief. You’re a grown man now, you should do something to contribute to the country!”

"It's decided then. You stay and help Miss Jiang take care of these patients!"

Without allowing any further explanation, Professor Yue arranged for Yue Keqi to arrive here and then left.

Yue Keqi was extremely unwilling, but she was powerless to resist and could only stay here.

Dr. Niu isn't here today, so the workload is a bit heavy.

Jiang Jingxue was administering acupuncture to the patient while Yue Keqi prepared the medicine.

Unfortunately, this young lady didn't even know how to start a fire, so the whole house was filled with thick smoke, choking everyone.

A few of the slightly older children helped her keep the fire going.

After the medicine was brewed, Jiang Jingxue asked her to distribute it to the patients.

Yue Keqi held the medicine in one hand and pinched her nose with the other, complaining as she walked.

"It stinks! It smells like a pigsty! What kind of stench is that inside?!"

The room was full of patients, the air wasn't circulating, so it certainly didn't smell very good.

Yue Keqi's unrestrained complaints also aroused dissatisfaction among some people.

One of the patients joked, "You said this place is a pigsty? Are you a sow?"

The other patients burst into laughter.

Some people with more severe illnesses even cough from laughing unintentionally.

Laughter and coughing filled the room.

Yue Keqi was so angry that her face turned red.

She avoided the coughing patients with even more disgust, afraid of getting infected herself.

"You're the sow! You think I want to stay here? It's filthy, smelly, and disgusting!"

Yue Keqi placed a bowl of medicine heavily next to a patient and turned to leave.

"etc!"

Jiang Jingxue called out to her.

"This patient is elderly and in serious condition. He can't sit up and needs you to feed him his medicine."

Upon hearing this, Yue Keqi's eyes widened.

"Jiang Jingxue! Are you deliberately picking a fight with me?!"

Jiang Jingxue was so focused on administering acupuncture to the patient that she didn't even look at her directly.

"I'm busy right now, I don't have time to pick a fight with you!"

Yue Keqi suppressed her anger, squatted down, and handed a bowl of medicine to the patient's lips.

She didn't care whether the patient could drink it or not, and just poured it into his mouth.

The patient coughed violently from the choking, spraying the medicine directly onto Yue Keqi's skirt.

The brown medicine was mixed with the patient's saliva.

In short, Yue Keqi suddenly went berserk.

She suddenly stepped back, and the medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Yue Keqi quickly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the stains off her skirt.

As she wiped, she cursed, "Are you trying to get yourself killed! You've gotten it all over my skirt! Do you even know how much this skirt is worth? Can you poor country bumpkins afford to pay for it?"
