Chapter 509 So poor that all they have left is money
After Gu Yin returned to school, it was Yu Lulu and the others who told her that she had actually been put on the list of school beauties, and even ranked first.
Gu Yin browsed the forum but didn't see any comments. After reading it, she planned to go to the research center near the hospital when her phone rang.
"Hey Grandpa? You're back in China?" Zhou Wansheng had been busy abroad with people from the Ministry of Finance.
Looking at the person in front of him, who was completely different from his usual spirited self, Zhou Wansheng sighed and said, "No, Grandpa has something to tell you. Are you free today? Let's video chat."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "I'm free. I'll go home and call you back later."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin quickly returned to the Gu residence. Only the housekeeper was home at the moment. Gu Yin went back to her room and made a video call to Zhou Wansheng.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Zhou Wansheng moved the camera to the side: "Let him talk to you."
Gu Yin was puzzled. As the camera moved, a haggard old man with white hair appeared in front of her.
"Mr. Wu Ye?! How come you look so haggard after only half a year!"
At the handover banquet in Hong Kong, Wu Ye was full of vigor and didn't look 50 years old at all. Now he looks like he's 70! Not only is his hair completely white, but he's also lost all his energy and spirit!
Wu Ye's eyes were numb as he sighed, "I've been tricked, schemed against, and contracted this disease. Once my immune system is damaged, all sorts of illnesses come my way. My life is hanging by a thread now, which is bad enough, but the various complications are too painful. I really can't bear it anymore, so I came to your grandfather to ask you if your country has any solutions for AIDS, I mean internal solutions. If so, could you recommend one for me? I have nothing but money! I don't care how much!"
Gu Yin was shocked. How could he have contracted this stuff! And given Wu Ye's wealth, not to mention Myanmar, he should have connections to find medicine even in the United States. Although there is no cure, he should have drugs to control it. He believed that those laboratories that specialize in researching this kind of disease would have them.
Gu Yin voiced her doubts.
Wu Ye shook his head: "The person who plotted against me has a partnership with the United States. I spent a lot of money looking for medicine, but I couldn't find it. Moreover, there is currently no cure for this disease in the world. I don't ask for a cure; I just want to relieve my pain. So I wanted you to ask around and see if your country has any. I heard from your grandfather that you studied under Mr. Cheng. Could you please ask around for me?"
Gu Yin frowned. In terms of research on AIDS, the country had always been relatively backward, and she could hardly guarantee that the kind of medicine Wu Ye mentioned was available inside.
Seeing Wu Ye in such a terrible state, Gu Yin sighed, "Okay, I'll ask around for you, but I can't guarantee it, and you shouldn't have too high hopes. After all, our country's medical care is indeed somewhat backward."
Wu Ye nodded happily: "I know, I understand, just ask for me! If it really isn't there, that's okay, I won't blame you! Thank you!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's no trouble at all. After all, you are still A-Le's godfather. I'll go to the lab to find the teacher first, and I'll call you again tonight!"
Gu Yin went back to the lab after hanging up the phone, but Professor Cheng wasn't there. Yue Zeming said that Professor Cheng hadn't returned all day and was probably busy.
What do you want with the teacher?
Gu Yin thought for a moment and sat down: "I want to ask the teacher if anyone in our lab is researching AIDS."
Yue Zemin raised his eyebrows: "Our lab doesn't have it, but I heard that my second senior brother has been researching it at his research institute. What, are you interested in this topic? Ah Yin, I'm not trying to discourage you, but this is a world-class problem. It's a problem that the world's best scientists have been researching for decades without finding a cure. If you really do this, you might not be able to solve it even when you're old and gone. But who knows, you're so talented, maybe you can solve it in your later years."
Gu Yin: "...Although I also want to do this research, it would be a bit presumptuous of me to start now. Could you ask my second senior brother for me? A relative of mine was accidentally infected with this disease and is now suffering from complications. I'd like to ask if there are any internal medicines to help him alleviate his suffering. He's extremely wealthy! About the same as my family!"
Yue Zemin understood what Gu Yin meant: this was about buying it with money, and the price didn't matter, as long as it was the medicine.
Yue Zemin raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you ask the second brother yourself?"
Gu Yin said embarrassedly, "I'm not familiar with my senior brother yet, please, please!"
Yue Zemin sighed, took out his phone and made a call, but the other end didn't answer.
"He's not answering the phone right now. I'll send him an email. Please wait a moment."
For researchers like them, mobile phones are not the primary means of communication; email is!
Sure enough, the email was sent and they called back immediately.
"Third brother, I sent you an email. I asked fifth brother to have her relative do the test again according to my requirements, and then send me the report. We need to evaluate it to see if the lab's drugs can be used."
Yue Zemin nodded: "Okay, no problem. By the way, Lao Wu said that her relative is so poor that all she has left is money, so please consider bringing any expensive medicines you have!"
Gu Yin heard a discussion coming from the other side.
Then the second senior brother's voice came again: "Ahem, um, could you estimate my net worth?"
Gu Yin leaned closer to the phone: "He's worth hundreds of billions!"
A lot of exclamations came from over there! Gu Yin even heard her second senior brother taking deep breaths.
"Is this Lao Wu? Lao Wu, then you should have your relative get a thorough check-up. We'll take a look first. If we have the medicine, we'll definitely give it to him! Even if we don't, we'll try our best to alleviate his pain! But in that case, he'll have to stay at our research institute."
Gu Yin immediately nodded: "No problem! I'll send him the form as soon as I leave and ask him to complete the check as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin used her third senior brother's computer to send the spreadsheet to Zhou Wansheng, asking him to forward it to Wu Ye.
After receiving a reply, Wu Ye immediately made the arrangements, and various blood tests were conducted early the next morning.
