Yu Qing nodded obediently.
After a while, an all-black car drove out and stopped inside the gate.
The gatekeeper brought Yu Qing in through the small door, put her in the car, and then returned to his post.
When Yu Qing got into the car, her peripheral vision inevitably touched the car window. Although it was transparent, it was blurry from both inside and outside, and she couldn't see anything even if she wanted to.
While the vehicle was driving, the driver was like a robot, not saying a word and concentrating on driving. Three minutes later, the car finally stopped.
The driver just said indifferently: "We're here."
The houses in Fuji Home are separated by layers. When Yu Qing got off the car, he could only see a self-built building surrounded by a garden. The decoration style was a bit like that of a nursing home.
An old man was standing at the door, wearing a pure black tuxedo and white gloves. His eyes did not change when he saw the girl.
He extended his hand slightly sideways, respectfully saying, "It's clear inside."
There are various kinds of plants planted in the garden, but there are relatively few flowers and more non-flowering plants.
When they walked through the garden and entered the reception room, a woman checked Yu Qing's entire body and confirmed that she did not carry any dangerous items before letting her in.
Throughout the entire process, Yu Qing did not reveal a single sign of dissatisfaction.
Even after retirement, scientific researchers still retain their knowledge in their minds, not to mention their identities. They deserve layers of protection, and she certainly doesn't care.
After entering the reception room, Yu Qing saw the person who posted the task on the software.
He was a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance. When he saw her coming, he restrained his sharpness and his temperament became slightly gentler. "Doctor Qingzhu, I have long heard of your great name."
Yu Qing nodded slightly: "You're welcome."
Wei Xinhe didn't question her age and poured her a cup of tea that had already been brewed. "My father's status is special, so I may have offended him when he came in. Don't mind."
"No problem." Yu Qing didn't take the tea: "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's go and check the situation first."
Wei Xinhe looked at her in surprise, as if wondering about her character.
I originally thought that Dr. Qingzhu was young and would inevitably be a little proud. To put it nicely, he was arrogant, and to put it bluntly, he didn't take others seriously.
I didn't expect that she was so young, yet so humble and polite, and acted with moderation.
In this way, his actions seemed a bit pretentious.
So Wei Xinhe said nothing more and took her to the second floor: "My father has an old health problem. He has some problems with his heart."
"In the early years, I could still rely on medication to maintain my health, but gradually the medication stopped working, and now I can't even get out of bed."
Although his father has retired, some projects still need him to supervise. At least he cannot collapse at this time. This is his father's need.
As a son, he certainly hopes that he can spend his old age in peace. He has spent his entire life on scientific research and neglected his family. He must have felt resentful.
Now that he's older, he's gradually come to terms with the fact that some things simply cannot be had at the same time, and he can only choose one. He can only fulfill his obligations as a son, and anything else... forget it.
Of course, he would not tell Yu Qing these words, he just thought about them in his heart.
The door of the first room on the second floor was open, and a faint smell of medicine wafted out, as well as the sound of several people talking.
Wei Xinhe pulled his thoughts back and entered the room first. He looked at the old man lying on the bed and said in a calm voice, "Dad, Doctor Qingzhu is here."
The old man on the bed looked haggard, with slightly sunken eye sockets and was very thin. It was obvious that his time was up and he was only hanging on by the weight of medicine.
The old man sitting by the bed stood up and said, "Since the doctor is here, I won't bother you any more. You, remember to take care of yourself and stop talking about the lab all the time."
Wei Jiaxue glanced away and simply didn't answer.
The old man sighed deeply. His friend was good in every way except that he was too persistent. Even though the laboratory was important, it couldn't be everything.
"Grandpa, the doctor is here, let's go first." Yin Yusheng stood beside him with one hand in his trouser pocket.
"Then I'll leave first." Old Master Yin glanced at the person on the bed and followed Yin Yusheng out of the room helplessly.
When he met Yu Qing at the door, Yin Yusheng smiled and nodded at her, without showing any recognition, as if he was just greeting her politely.
Yu Qing waited until the grandfather and grandson left before following Wei Xinhe in.
Wei Jiaxue still maintained his original appearance, his face pale and purple, staring out the window with an indifferent expression.
"Dad, this is Doctor Qingzhu, the one who developed the anti-cancer drug." Wei Xinhe said calmly, telling frankly what he had investigated.
Although the dean hid himself very well from the Bai family, some information about his identity was still known, at least the person behind it was Dr. Qingzhu.
Wei Jiaxue finally turned his gaze back to Yu Qing, his eyes brightening slightly: "Doctor, can I live for another month?"
His attitude clearly showed that he was not afraid of life or death, but rather had important things to do.
Wei Xinhe's expression changed slightly, and he sneered, "I thought you wanted to live, so you would always be concerned about your mother's hard work. It turns out you haven't changed at all."
After saying that, he turned and left the room, not wanting to look at his father again.
Wei Jiaxue didn't seem to care about him at all, but continued to ask: "Doctor, if it really doesn't work, do you have any way to keep me alive for this month?"
Yu Qing looked at him for a long time without saying anything.
Birth, aging, sickness and death, the laws of nature——
If the patient's death has not yet come, there is a chance to be saved, but if the patient's death has come and he dies of old age, there is really no way to save him.
Wei Jiaxue seemed to have guessed something, shaking his head and giving a bitter laugh: "My body is just a last gasp of life. I should have known this earlier, I should have left earlier..."
He closed his eyes unwillingly, then suddenly opened them as if he had thought of something: "Doctor! You can develop anti-cancer drugs, so there must be a way to prolong my life, right?"
A hint of expectation shone through the dead eyes.
Under his gaze, Yu Qing said calmly, "Yes, but in a different way. You will have to pay a price."
"Okay, okay!" Wei Jiaxue excitedly wanted to sit up, but he lay back down coughing. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm willing to pay any price."
Yu Qing's expression remained calm, like a jade Buddha indifferent to life and death: "Is it worth it?"
Wei Jiaxue lay on the bed, gasping for breath, his wrinkles squeezed together and a smile appeared on his face.
"worth."
Just one more month of life would be worth it to him.
…
…
Wei Xinhe didn't know what had happened in the room. After Yu Qing came down, he personally escorted him to the door.
Seeing that her face was pale, he knew his limits and did not ask any further questions.
"Doctor Qingzhu, I'll pay you according to what's written there." He handed over a document. "Also, this is a house in the city center. You can transfer it to your name at any time."
This apartment was his extra compensation.
