Chapter 986 Just Self-Consolation
Qiao Xing hesitated for a long time before finally deciding how to answer Qin Ce.
She thought for a moment and finally said, "There's no right or wrong in this kind of thing. If it can really help them, then it's a good deed."
Qin Ce chuckled, "What if I don't want to?"
Qiao Xing subconsciously said, "I don't think you're that kind of person."
"How do you know I'm not? I never said I didn't mind that he likes you, so in my eyes, he's still my rival in love."
Qiao Xing reasoned, "But these aren't the same thing."
"It's the same thing for me."
Qiao Xing was speechless.
If Qin Ce really didn't want to help Shen Boyan because of this, then it was understandable.
However, Qiao Xing still felt that Qin Ce wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die because of something like this.
Putting their own affairs aside, it was still a human life at least.
If Shen Boyan and the others truly placed their last hope on Qin Ce, and they failed to offer assistance, leading to an accident involving Shen's father.
Qiao Xing might never forgive himself in his lifetime.
But what if Qin Ce really doesn't want to do this?
What should she do? Should she argue with Qin Ce over this?
Everyone has a different perspective. It's not wrong for her to want to help, but it's also not wrong from Qin Ce's point of view.
Qin Ce glanced at Qiao Xing, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Are you thinking I'm heartless?"
Qiao Xing quickly said, "No, what are you thinking!"
Qin Ce asked, "Really?"
Since they were an old married couple, Qiao Xing didn't want to hide anything from Qin Ce, so she directly told him her thoughts.
"I actually wanted you to help Shen Boyan. I didn't mean anything by it. Without this technology, we would be powerless to help. But now that there is a way to save him, I would feel guilty if I didn't help."
Qin Ce listened quietly to what she said, nodding in agreement, "I think you make a good point."
Qiao Xing knew he was doing it on purpose, and glared at him. "Do you think I told you this just to help Shen Boyan?"
Qin Ce said calmly, "I didn't. I believe you."
"Don't give me that!"
Not easily showing his emotions in front of others is Qin Ce's greatest strength.
Qin Ce said he didn't mind, but Qiao Xing could tell from his tone that...
Qiao Xing said earnestly to Qin Ce, "If this technology is really useful to Shen Boyan's father, I really want to help him this time, not for any other reason than to let us all get to know each other."
At the same time, she also expressed her attitude to Qin Ce, "Don't worry, we are already married. No matter who comes into my life, I will still be your wife. Unless I don't want to, no one will affect our relationship."
Although Qin Ce never intended not to help Shen Boyan from beginning to end, seeing Qiao Xing explaining to him so earnestly made him realize the importance of this.
Qin Ce was still happy.
Although she wanted to help another man, her frank tone and attitude made Qin Ce willing to believe her.
He never doubted that there was something between Qiao Xing and Shen Boyan.
So Qin Ce told Qiao Xing the truth, "It's not that I don't want to help him, it's that I can't."
Qiao Xing asked doubtfully, "Why?"
While driving, Qin Ce briefly explained to Qiao Xing the drawbacks of this technology development.
Although the technology developed this time can indeed edit brain tumors and tumor cells.
The expert team also tried to use this technology to combat cancer cells.
However, during this process, several editing issues arose, some even to the point of being irreversible.
This is why, even though Qin Ce and his team had successfully completed the clinical trials, they still dared not officially promote it on a large scale.
To put it simply, this technology is mainly focused on tumor cells, such as cancer and some chronic diseases, and there are still many areas that need improvement.
After listening to Qin Ce's explanation, Qiao Xing realized that the technology was not as simple as she had imagined.
It's already quite an achievement for the expert team to develop it, let alone to formally apply it in the medical field, which is even more difficult.
Qiao Xing voiced her doubts, "If that's the case, then it means he didn't help Grandpa's condition at all. So why did you still cooperate with Tang Xi and push him out?"
Qin Ce explained to her, "This is just the first step. Although it can only tackle a few areas, it doesn't mean that further research and development is not possible. If we want it to be recognized by the medical community, we must make it truly effective; otherwise, it's all just empty talk."
Qiao Xing understood. "So, this is useless to Shen Boyan's father?"
"It's not that it's useless. If we really want to try it, we have to bear the aftereffects and side effects of this treatment. Shen Boyan's father's physical condition obviously can't withstand it."
Qiao Xing was puzzled. "If that's the case, why do they say it's the last hope? If they really wanted to use this technology to treat their father, they should have known about it by now."
"It's just self-comfort. Sick people are most likely to try anything in desperation," Qin Ce said succinctly.
In addition, Qin Ce told Qiao Xing another reason.
The hospital where Shen Congyao works, which is also the hospital where Grandpa Qin works, is the best hospital in the entire capital.
The technology developed by Qin Ce and his team had already spread throughout the medical field long before.
The hospital wants to make money and gain fame. If this technology can be successfully applied in clinical practice, the resulting fame and profits for the hospital will be considerable.
Because of the risks involved, and also to be on the safe side, the expert team has not officially told the outside world what this technology is actually used for.
However, the hospital didn't care about any of that; what they were thinking about was how to introduce this technology into the hospital as soon as possible.
It just so happens that the Shen family has a good reputation in Beijing, and they want to let the outside world know that their hospital was among the first to introduce this technology through the treatment of Shen's father.
Even if Shen's father wasn't successfully treated using this technology, it doesn't matter.
Qiao Xing was a little angry after hearing this, "How is this any different from deception!"
Qin Ce said calmly, "If someone is willing to believe it, then it's not deception."
Qiao Xing now understood that Qin Ce didn't mean he was unwilling, but rather that he couldn't.
If what Qin Ce said is true, everyone will be happy if Shen's father recovers in the end. But if any accident happens in the process, then Qin Ce and the medical scientists and expert team will become the culprits who killed Shen's father.
