Chapter 220 Two-pronged approach



"If there are any clinical trials, the old man can participate; his condition can't be delayed any longer."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Man quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go to the research institute first thing tomorrow morning to ask."

In fact, Qiu Man knew to some extent that the research institute had developed a reagent and was conducting clinical trials.

However, it was considered confidential until a result was obtained, and he knew very little about it, which is why he did not directly agree to Shen Yanming's request.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Man felt that the illness was urgent and he didn't want to wait. If he waited until he went to work the next day to look for someone, the old man that Shen Yanming had mentioned might not be able to hold on before he got any results.

So, in the middle of the night, Qiu Man made a phone call to General Li.

Even though it's already past 10 p.m., General Manager Li is still working overtime in his office.

Alas, the higher one's position, the greater the responsibility. He had already finished eating at home and was preparing to go to bed, but General Li was still having a video conference with other heads of state.

Of course, Qiu Man didn't know what General Li was doing when he made the call; he just felt it was necessary to report to his boss.

The secretary answered the phone. Since General Manager Li was in a meeting, Qiu Man asked the secretary to relay his message after the meeting, of course, only that he had made a phone call.

Then, Qiu Man called Dean Xu again, but unfortunately, Dean Xu didn't answer, nor did his assistant. It seems they were working overtime in the lab again.

Qiu Man sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but rather that he wanted to help, but things didn't go smoothly.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanming went into his personal space to discuss with Bi Qiaoan about visiting Grandpa Lin at the hospital the next day.

They both knew that the research institute must have made some progress, but it hadn't been finalized yet. They could wait, but Old Master Lin couldn't.

Given Old Master Lin's condition, he could pass away at any moment. Bi Qiaoan felt very sad thinking about the old man who always urged her to have children.

"I'll make a pot of chicken soup for the old man, and add a few drops of spiritual spring water to it. What do you think?" Bi Qiaoan asked Shen Yanming with some sadness.

Shen Yanming sighed, because he didn't know either.

He only knew that energy rain wouldn't work; if it did, the research institute wouldn't be having such a headache.

He also knew that the spiritual spring water was a good thing, but whether it would nourish or kill the virus was anyone's guess.

If the spring water can become nutrients for the virus, then if Grandpa Lin drank the chicken soup and didn't recover, wouldn't that be tantamount to murder?

However, without special measures, judging from Zhang Heping's words, Old Master Lin probably won't live to see the research institute release a cure.

Shen Yanming shared his concerns with Bi Qiaoan, who hesitated for a long time before finally deciding, "Let's put in a little and see how it goes first. If it really works, then we've done a great thing."

Bi Qiaoan bit her lip. "If something happens to Grandpa Lin, then we should take good care of his family and lend them a hand during their difficult time."

Looking into Shen Yanming's eyes, Bi Qiaoan said, "If something unexpected really happens, I won't let Old Master Lin's death become a knot in my heart."

Perhaps there were indeed factors at play here, but even without making such an attempt, he would still have met his end.

On the contrary, who knows, if we take this gamble, Grandpa Lin might recover.

Shen Yanming smiled after hearing this. In fact, he agreed to let Old Master Lin use the spiritual spring water, but he was afraid that unexpected situations might occur, which would become a psychological shadow for Bi Qiaoan for the rest of her life. So he threw the question to her and asked her to think it through and make a decision.

However, Shen Yanming still made two preparations.

After all, they only had a general understanding of the situation through Zhang Heping's account, and they would only know the specifics after meeting in person.

Therefore, Shen Yanming asked Bi Qiaoan to cook two pots of chicken soup, one with two drops of spiritual spring water and the other with nothing added.

If the old man is alright when they go to the hospital tomorrow, they will give him the chicken soup without the spiritual spring water. If the old man is really dying, then they will have to give him the chicken soup with the spiritual spring water to try and save him.

Besides chicken soup, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also planned to bring Zhang Heping some snacks. They didn't lack these things, but Zhang Heping hadn't been home for two or three months, and the snacks he had brought before should have been finished.

So the two of them took out some pork and beef from the storage area and made two or three pounds of jerky.

Then he went to the flower nursery beehive and used his mind to retrieve two bottles of honey, so that Zhang Heping could drink a cup every day to relieve fatigue and improve his physical condition.

Afterwards, the two went to the villa's balcony, filled a jar with coffee beans, and also put a bag with twenty or thirty dried persimmons.

As for dried fruit and milk curds, they can't be made on the spot. They'll take some from the storage area first and make some more to take back when they have time.

After the chicken soup was cooked, Shen Yanming put the two portions of chicken soup into the same insulated container and then put them into the storage area.

Bi Qiaoan then packed the snacks they had prepared for Zhang Heping into a large paper bag.

Because she had considered that Zhang Heping would share some with his colleagues, Bi Qiaoan prepared a generous amount.

After they finished getting ready, they went to sleep. The next morning, they got up early to wash up.

Around 9 a.m., Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, dressed neatly and properly concealed, drove to the hospital.

In fact, at the beginning, the hospital did not allow family members to enter, and even those with minor pains and illnesses were not allowed to be hospitalized. Only patients with sudden illnesses and serious illnesses were allowed to be hospitalized for treatment.

But gradually, everyone realized that this wouldn't work.

On the one hand, the number of doctors and nurses is limited, and they simply cannot care for so many patients. Moreover, many new HZ virus infections require hospitalization every day.

Over time, staffing became increasingly stretched, and doctors and nurses found themselves struggling to cope. It became clear that hospitalized patients required family members to be present to provide care.

On the other hand, some diseases may not seem serious at first, but if left untreated, they can develop into serious illnesses.

Some people feel unwell but endure it due to national policies. When they finally can't bear it anymore and go to the hospital for a checkup, they find that they have missed the best time for treatment.

Therefore, the hospital relaxed the initial restrictions, but required that everyone entering and leaving the hospital must take protective measures.

Whether you wear protective clothing, incense balls, long sleeves, or gloves, you can come as long as you can ensure your safety.

Of course, everyone entering and leaving the hospital must register; there are no exceptions.

Shen Yanming knew that doctors had a tough job and had wanted to send Zhang Heping some nutritional supplements for a long time, but every time he called Zhang Heping, the guy disagreed, frankly because he was worried that something might happen to Shen Yanming.

This time, however, because of Old Master Lin, Zhang Heping did not stop Shen Yanming.

And so, the two of them, carrying large and small bags, went to the hospital.
