Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 103: Going Home

For a moment, she suddenly thought of the way Lin Xiang looked at her, which seemed very similar, especially when she left the Lin Family. There was full of worry in her eyes.

Her heart was touched as if she had realized what that look meant, but she was not her biological daughter. Could someone really care for a stepdaughter as if she were their own child?

She did not know, nor did she want to think about it.

She collected herself and went to check another intensive care unit. This was a job she had to repeat every day, one she continued to endure for over a month despite her impatience.

"Yun Yue, Chairman Fei is asking you to go to the lab," Assistant Zhang ran over, a thin layer of fog clouding his breath on the goggles.

It was snowing outside, and the indoor temperature was only about 15 degrees Celsius. The protective suit that had been unbearably hot just a short while ago was now keeping her warm.

"Okay," she finished examining the patient and then headed to the lab.

"Come here, he just had to ask me how old you are this year. Tell him because he won’t believe it till you say it yourself," Fei Canqing gloated with the mischievous air of an old child.

"..."

She thought something had happened, but it turned out they were just idling about.

Her eyes suddenly became icy cold, her eyebrows carried a sharp chill, and her gaze swept over them coldly, "I think you two have too much free time. There are dozens of wards outside that have not been checked yet, and hundreds of people are waiting for diagnosis. Go do that."

Fei Canqing’s neck shrank slightly; he had forgotten she could be a real tyrant despite her unwavering diligence in treating patients these days. He looked around guiltily and said with a hint of evasion, "Well, Xiao Zhang called me, I’ll leave first."

His assistant, Zhang: "..."

Are you blind, Chairman, or have you become deaf?

Cao Weiyu did not understand Yun Yue, but upon meeting her gaze, his body involuntarily shuddered. Was this the look and aura of a 17-year-old?

Who was he kidding!

He also quickly vanished from the lab, suddenly feeling warmer.

Once the two of them had left, she stayed in the lab to research the medication.

She had tested it before, and the drug was able to block 80 percent of the virus, but that was still far from enough. It had to be at least around 98 percent effective.

"Yun Yue, do you need any help?" Qin Shanglin offered proactively, having learned quite a bit these days while assisting Yun Yue.

Whether in the lab or diagnosing patients, and besides, she was good to get along with. Without needing to say much, as long as he simply stayed by her side sincerely, she would take the initiative to teach him. He had gained a lot from her lately.

Originally, he had hit a bottleneck in his medical studies, but under her guidance, it seemed as if everything suddenly became clear.

Yun Yue glanced at a string of data on the computer and said, "Help me prepare the equipment for the experiment."

"Okay," Qin Shanglin responded, starting the preparations.

Xiao Yisha clenched her teeth, "Big brother, we haven’t finished our experiment yet."

She stared at Yun Yue’s back, seething with anger; it felt as though her lungs were about to explode from fury.

What was this supposed to mean!

Qin Shanglin was doing an experiment with her, and as soon as Yun Yue arrived, she had taken him away.

That was far too arrogant!

Qin Shanglin ignored her, "The experiment is just one step away from completion, once the reaction is done we can write the final report. You can finish it by yourself, Yun Yue needs help over there."

"..."

She grit her teeth in silent frustration. She had thought that her rapid drug research would capture the attention of the entire lab, perhaps even her name would be first on the list, and Beijing would finally take her seriously. But, much to her chagrin, Yun Yue had usurped all of it.

From the moment she joined this experiment, the focus had shifted entirely onto Yun Yue, with constant flattery coming her way. And those same people used to say the same about her!

Now, where did they remember her, the youngest authority of the Medical Organization? All they saw was Yun Yue.

Where had they seen that her temper was any better? Her arrogance was blatant, her gaze always carried a subtle sneer, especially when she looked at her with a hint of contempt.

If this epidemic did not subside soon, she felt she might explode with anger.

Another week passed, and Yun Yue had increased the inhibition rate from eighty to ninety-eight percent, with the compatibility also significantly improved, resulting in fewer adverse effects from the injections.

She had completed her task.

Sitting in front of the computer, she uploaded the data online, setting off another flurry of excitement.

Every experimental paper she published was of great help to virus and drug research; even members of the world Medical Organization used her papers as a reference.

Her paper played a significant role in this virus outbreak; people from the Medical Organization wanted to recruit her, but they couldn’t get in touch with her, even spending a considerable sum on hackers to investigate, all to no avail.

After uploading the data, she stretched lazily, seemingly able to relax after so many days of tension.

She stood up, looking to Fei Canqing beside her, "I’ll leave the rest of the experiments to you; I’m leaving."

"Leaving?" Fei Canqing was stunned. Nearly two months had passed, and her contributions during these two months were clear for all to see.

It was a stroke of good fortune to have her; otherwise, the situation wouldn’t have been brought under control so quickly, nor would the drug have been developed so fast.

"Then you should go. I won’t see you out. Let Xiao Zhang take you." Fei Canqing continued her experiment, indifferent to sentimentality.

Yun Yue let out a snort of laughter and walked out of the lab in a casual stride, heading to her room to change out of her protective suit into her own clothes, immediately feeling a chill envelop her body.

She had been unaware of the deepening cold.

She phoned Wei Guohang, asking his assistant to pick her up and, on the way, to bring a thick down jacket.

She had only brought a few autumn clothes when she first arrived, and wearing several layers of protective suits every day, she hadn’t felt the cold. Now, with temperatures outside at freezing, though she was resistant to cold, she wasn’t invincible to it—a person would freeze at once upon stepping out.

Thankfully the room had heating. She packed her luggage, and Wei Guohang’s assistant arrived with a shopping bag in hand.

"Miss Yun." The assistant stood respectfully at the door, his expression reverent behind his mask.

Yun Yue took the shopping bag, not bothering to remove the tag before slipping it on over her clothes, slinging her backpack on with a rebellious lift of her brows, a mischievous and disdainful grin visible beneath her mask, her eyes cold as she said, "Let’s go."

As the new year neared, she wasn’t sure why, but she found herself somewhat interested in this year’s Spring Festival.

"Dr. Yun, are you leaving?"

"Dr. Yun, where do you live? Once I’m well, I’ll make sure to come and express my gratitude. I’ll bring a banner to thank you."

"Dr. Yun..."

As Yun Yue passed through the corridor, the words of these patients caught her off guard.

One after another, they looked at her with sincere eyes, their thanks coming from the heart.

"Didn’t they say the hospital was short-staffed? Why is she leaving so soon? And you’re still thanking her! It’s doctors’ duty to treat and save lives, what’s there to thank for?"
