Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Mutual Restraint

Feng Ye sneered. For a lifetime, you’ll be my son.

Bringing people to her, what’s so difficult about that?

The difficult part is getting her to call her, Mom.

A gurgling sound broke his fantasy, "..."

He hadn’t thrown up anything last night despite drinking so much. He didn’t feel anything before, but now his stomach felt extremely hungry.

...

Mo Fan stepped out and saw Yun Yue eating breakfast. She heard him and looked up with a raised eyebrow, "Come eat breakfast."

Her gaze was too direct, which made Mo Fan uneasy. He calmly walked over, "I saw the room was empty, so I just grabbed something to wear."

"Oh, I didn’t ask if there was anyone in the room," Yun Yue said indifferently.

Xiao Chen cast a meaningful look at her.

Mo Fan: "..."

She sat between the two of them, picking up a bun to eat, and glanced over the amount of food on the table.

Enough for four people.

"Where’s Feng Ye? Did you see him?" Yun Yue asked, chin propped in her hand, sucking on a straw as she watched her gobble down the buns.

"How would I know." Mo Fan cursed inwardly.

What was with these two and their looks?

After breakfast, the two cleaned up and prepared to leave.

As Guan Yun Yue was about to exit the door, she turned back to look at Mo Fan, who was still eating, "If you can’t finish it, remember to take it down to the dogs in the neighborhood."

There was a stray dog shelter below the complex, which had grown from the original two to now ten dogs, expanding several times over, all sustained by the people in the complex.

"Alright," Mo Fan nodded quickly.

Anyway, it was all for feeding the dogs.

Xiao Chen drove Yun Yue to the city hospital and watched her go in before driving away.

At the Medical Organization base.

Fei Canqing was anxious. Finally seeing her arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The patient has shown signs of waking up, but yesterday’s examination revealed that the patient’s legs seem to have lost sensation."

The patient lay motionless on the bed; you couldn’t tell if there were any problems just by looking—you could only find out through instruments.

Because the patient had recently been recovering well and showing signs of awakening, a full body examination was performed yesterday, only to discover the patient had no sensation in the lower body.

"Here is the examination report; take a look," Fei Canqing handed her a document.

He read the report ten times over but couldn’t find anything amiss.

In fact, Yun Yue didn’t spot anything wrong after looking through it twice either.

Medically, there were precedents of brain-damaged patients waking up with paralysis in their lower bodies.

But when she previously administered acupuncture to Uncle Xiao, his legs should have had sensation, and pinpointing exactly what the problem was needed further research.

"Take him for another full-body examination."

"Okay." Fei Canqing nodded slightly, having someone push the bed to go for examination.

Yun Yue stayed in the ward, flipping through the patient’s recent treatment records.

Other than the common nutritional drip, there was the newly developed medicine. Could the problem be with the medicine?

A moment of deep thought flashed through her, but she felt it was unlikely. The medicine was dosed according to her research and had no side effects on the body; even if it couldn’t cure, it shouldn’t cause paralysis in the lower body unless there was a contraindication.

That’s it!

If Uncle Xiao’s body contained something that was incompatible with these medicines, that might have led to this result.

She strode outside, had Fei Canqing draw blood from Uncle Xiao, and then she entered the laboratory to conduct her research alone.

If Uncle Xiao’s body naturally contained a toxin that had been keeping him unconscious, after using her medicine, the interaction between the two could have led to this outcome.

She spent ten hours in the laboratory and only relaxed her furrowed brows after testing the last drug.

Indeed, her hypothesis had been correct.

A drug in Uncle Xiao’s system was incompatible with the one she had developed, stimulating the cerebellum and causing paralysis in the thighs.

Fortunately, she hadn’t been using her medicine for long, and there still was a chance to save him.

She had thought that the administered medicine was simply insufficient to rouse him, but it turned out there was another toxin within him, probably lurking in his body for some time.

This toxin was the real menace; as long as it was neutralized, he should recover.

She massaged her tense brow, wearily exiting the laboratory.

Most people at the base had already left for the day, only the light in Fei Canqing’s office was still on.

She pushed the door open and saw him sitting in front of the computer, entering data, his temples graying and wearing bifocals. Upon seeing her emerge, he immediately asked, "How did it go? Did you find anything?"

The investigation results were already out, showing no problems.

He had been waiting for her to emerge to see if she had discovered anything.

Yun Yue’s gaze flickered slightly as she lowered her eyelids, "Nothing."

The people from the Medical Organization were untrustworthy.

Uncle Xiao had been in a coma for so many years, and anyone could have poisoned him. Although she trusted Fei Canqing, she did not trust the other members of the Medical Organization.

If someone had installed surveillance in his office, it would undoubtedly push Uncle Xiao further into danger.

Hearing this, Fei Canqing sighed with resignation, "Hey, don’t worry, we’ll find the reason eventually."

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Chen came by a few days ago. He told me that Ghost Doctor agreed to provide treatment. What are your thoughts?"

Was she Ghost Doctor?

Wasn’t she already treating him?

Yun Yue casually pulled up a chair to sit down, her eyes narrowing, "Extorted 20 billion from him, what do you think?"

Fei Canqing fell silent immediately, "...Do you still have money? Could you lend me another two billion? That one billion is gone."

Yun Yue’s expression changed instantly as she stood up and headed for the door, "You’d better show me some results, or I’ll cut off your funding."

"Don’t worry, three... one year, at the latest one year, and I’ll definitely deliver the results you want," Fei Canqing shuddered all over.

All these years, the Medical Organization had relied solely on her financial support.

Originally, Da Yue Laboratory’s rise almost drove the Medical Organization to a dead end, until they met her, which gradually improved the situation of the Medical Organization, even close to overtaking Da Yue Laboratory.

Over these years, she had poured nearly a hundred billion, if not, at least eighty or ninety billion into the Medical Organization, and the developed drugs were very effective.

They genuinely benefited many common people, allowing those who were impoverished to afford medication and treatment.

However, Da Yue Laboratory was different; their research focused on specialized drugs, backed by Xiao Chen’s substantial funding, and the support of the Four Major Families behind the scenes, making it impressive that the Medical Organization could survive under such circumstances at all.

Those specialized drugs were indeed useful, but prohibitively expensive, unaffordable to average families, let alone the poor.

Fortunately, this competition hadn’t affected each other, and there was no suppression from either side.

Yun Yue glanced at her from the corner of her eye. She put her hands in her pockets and walked out; Xiao Chen’s car was already parked outside. She opened the door and ducked inside.

"How come you’re so late today?" he handed her a small box of cupcakes, "Have some cupcakes to tide you over; I’ll take you out for some late-night food."

It was already midnight; dinner was impossible, so they had to settle for late-night snacks.

Yun Yue almost spoke but swallowed her words instead; after all, he was her father. If he learned of her true identity, it was possible he’d worry. She took a bite of the cupcake, speaking slowly, "Got too caught up in research and lost track of time."
