This situation is beyond the understanding and acceptance of the hospital's doctors and nurses. In addition, F001 is a confirmed SW18 virus patient, and his disappearance is not just a matter concerning him alone.

Soon, the matter was reported as an urgent incident.

The information left behind by F001 became the key to finding him.

Li Lechen's mother received another call from the hospital. This time, it wasn't a nurse calling, but the vice president in charge.

For the vice president in charge, the sudden disappearance of infected individuals in the isolation and treatment area he was responsible for meant that if he didn't handle it well, his career would be over.

It's only right that you call the family members in person, or even go to their home directly.

Then there's Li Lechen's mother. After blocking two landline numbers that looked very similar, another landline call came in.

Li Lechen's mother was also amazed by these scammers. Logically speaking, she had no history of being scammed and did not have a large amount of money in her account, so why did they keep targeting her?

Fortunately, the work at hand has come to an end, and compared to her previous anxiety, Li Lechen's mother is in a much better mood now.

She answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone came the voice of a middle-aged man who sounded very serious.

"Are you Li Lechen's mother?" the man asked.

"Yes, what kind of place is yours?"

"I am Lin Heqing, the vice president of Yunhe First People's Hospital." Lin Heqing decisively introduced himself, feeling that having his name and address would make it easier to explain what was going to happen next.

Indeed, if it weren't for those two previous phone calls, Li Lechen's mother would have believed the vice dean calling her personally, about 70-80% of the time. But now, she was 90% certain that it was probably the conman's master who had intervened.

That's right, the little swindler called himself a nurse, and his master called himself the hospital director.

I reckon the conman's master has another master, and the dean will have to step in eventually.

Li Lechen's mother was a little free at the moment, so she didn't hang up the phone with the conman's master immediately, but continued to listen to how he was going to scam people.

Lin Heqing naturally had something to say: "I don't know if you received a call before, but our isolation treatment area notified you that your son, Li Lechen, has been diagnosed with the SW18 virus."

"You received a call? What's up?"

What's wrong?

Lin Heqing was suddenly a little confused. He checked the phone number, and it was correct, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you really Li Lechen's mother, Zhou Lifen?"

“I am Zhou Lifen, and Li Lechen is indeed my son.”

Li Lechen's mother's tone was just like a normal greeting, asking if he had eaten or where he was going. It was completely unlike the attitude a mother should have when she heard that her son had been diagnosed with a serious illness.

Indeed, in Li Lechen's mother's opinion, she was just playing a trick on him, so why take it so seriously?

It's fun to see the scammer looking completely bewildered.

Lin Heqing was genuinely bewildered: "Did you hear what I said clearly? I said..."

"You said my son has contracted the SW18 virus and is currently in your hospital. So, what's next? Do I need to send money for medical expenses?"

Scammers always dodge the question, but their ultimate goal is money; it never changes. So Li Lechen's mother simply helped them steer the conversation back to the point.

Lin Heqing was taken aback. The main thing he wanted to talk about was Li Lechen's disappearance, but the medical expenses... seemed to be a real problem as well.

So he stammered, "This money...it really is..."

"What's the account number, and what's the balance?"

Lin Heqing: "..." What's going on? Is this really Li Lechen's biological mother answering the phone? Why does their conversation sound like they're buying and selling dogs? Oh no, it sounds like she's a fraudster!

Lin Heqing stood there in a daze, while Li Lechen's mother grew impatient: "You haven't even memorized this account number? How are you doing your job?"

How do you work?

Lin Heqing, the vice president of Yunhe First People's Hospital, what hospital's account does he have involved with?

"Never mind, never mind, you can just send me a text message. I'll save it for you when I'm done here, okay?" With that, Li Lechen's mother hung up the phone.

Scammers are easy to fool for a while; if you keep talking about them, your IQ will be seriously lowered.

However, before Lin Heqing could react, the phone call ended with a beeping tone.

What's going on?

What kind of mother did he run into?

Realizing something was wrong, Lin Heqing quickly called back.

The first call went unanswered.

The second call went unanswered.

When I tried to call back, it seemed I was blacklisted and couldn't get through at all.

Lin Heqing was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time he had ever received such treatment when making a phone call. This was the dean's office phone! In the hospital, which doctor or nurse wouldn't rush to answer this number and treat it with utmost respect?

Even when he calls a patient's family, he is a vice president and an expert-level doctor. Which family member wouldn't be trembling with fear upon hearing his name?

But today, he really hit a wall.

But for Li Lechen's mother, this was going too smoothly. After all, this was already the third group today, and she hadn't had time to talk to people much about the previous two groups.

They're saying Li Lechen is infected with the SW18 virus? And he's staying at Yunhe First People's Hospital? Why don't they mention that his son was hit by a car?

Well, it would be more believable if you said your son was hit by a car.

At this time, the real Li Lechen couldn't stay in that six-person ward at Yunhe First People's Hospital any longer.

The initial purpose was to cover for F001, making it easier for him to contract the SW18 virus. Now that the mission is complete and he has returned, Li Lechen naturally needs to return in a suitable way.

Compared to F001, who could hide in the bathroom and instantly travel back to the future through a portal without anyone noticing, even if things got chaotic here, Li Lechen's return would be much more difficult.

He was responsible for all the cleanup work.

If things had gone according to plan, everything would have been fine. He just needed to meet up with F001 at the appointed time, and then the two of them would switch places. But now, the bus he was on had been in an accident at an inopportune time, and he himself was genuinely injured.

Therefore, this is something that must be covered up first.

So Li Lechen struggled to get up and, leaning on his crutches, moved into the bathroom.

There was no other way; F001 could think of no way to monitor their actions in the bathroom, and Li Lechen could only think of the bathroom as well.

Furthermore, compared to the individual bathroom conditions in the isolation treatment room, the six-person room here shares a bathroom, and the environment and smell there are simply awful.

However, in order to smooth things over, Li Lechen had no choice but to endure it.

By simply locking the door from the inside, Li Lechen had a slightly enclosed space.
