"But—a fourth grader conducting stem cell research? Forgive me for being blunt, but he doesn’t even understand what ’stem cells’ means, let alone the profound medical knowledge and complex experimental processes. It’s obviously unreasonable, and anyone would immediately recognize it as a fraud." Lu Xiaolu felt that this situation was absolutely ludicrous.

However, Guan Ruyan was very determined, "Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. Don’t mind how others see it; winning the prize is all that matters. This award is crucial, especially for future academic advancements."

But, a primary student conducting stem cell research?

Absurd!

"Brother Guan, there’s no rush on this. I’ve been really busy lately. Let me think it over. I’m feeling a bit unwell and need to step out for a moment."

Lu Xiaolu lowered his head, pulled open the door, and left Guan Ruyan’s office, leaving behind a disheveled Guan Ruyan. What was wrong with this kid? Usually, when it came to scientific research, he wouldn’t even blink an eye at the hardest topics. Today’s task wasn’t that heavy, yet he seemed to be avoiding it.

The next day, Ou Lianfeng quickly completed his surgery, and the post-surgery lung tissue pathology report confirmed it: stage three pneumoconiosis.

Therefore, Xiao Wu, the supervising doctor, diagnosed Ou Lianfeng with "stage three pneumoconiosis." Yang Ping signed his name in the Department Director’s spot and then stamped it with the seal of the Sanbo Hospital Surgical Research Institute.

Ou Lianfeng, upon receiving this diagnosis, was profoundly moved. Over the years, he had wandered from place to place with a diseased body, repeatedly expelled by factories and refused by occupational disease prevention doctors, visiting numerous hospitals just for this diagnosis.

Looking at the words "pneumoconiosis," his emotions were extremely heavy. His hands holding the diagnosis shook. This was not just a diagnosis—it was also validation, a family’s hope, a delayed justice.

In the following days, Ou Lianfeng spent his time excitedly because his surgery had been a minimally invasive thoracoscopy. He recovered quickly and was eager to be discharged a few days later. Dean Xia arranged for a media outlet to accompany him home, hoping this diagnosis could help him secure compensation from the factory and restore his dignity.

Afterward, Ou Lianfeng had many tasks to complete. He needed to undergo a lung washing surgery and then wait for a lung transplant. Investigative personnel from the Sanbo Hospital relief fund also initiated an investigation into Ou Lianfeng’s real circumstances to determine his eligibility for aid.

While Ou Lianfeng was hospitalized, investigation staff delved deep into his hometown to assess his situation. Indeed, he met the aid conditions; truly, his home was in complete poverty, his wife also not in good health, and his family included elderly and children. Due to pneumoconiosis, Ou Lianfeng was completely unable to work outside the home.

The investigative team’s staff also examined the circumstances surrounding Ou Lianfeng’s case, visiting numerous former coworkers and checking with factories and occupational disease prevention centers. The whole event matched Ou Lianfeng’s own descriptions exactly; there was no deceit on his part.

The occupational disease prevention center’s staff wholly avoided the investigative team, refusing to disclose details, even claiming ignorance, while the factory claimed they had never employed Ou Lianfeng, outright denying his period of employment there.

However, by visiting Ou Lianfeng’s coworkers, it was confirmed that Ou Lianfeng had worked at the factory for five years, though the factory had unilaterally erased all his records, including past medical examinations.

Using a connection from Dean Sun, the investigative staff contacted the hospital where Ou Lianfeng had his medical examinations and pulled up his past medical reports, discovering that Ou Lianfeng’s pneumoconiosis had been identified earlier, albeit less severe than now. However, the factory had verbally informed Ou Lianfeng that there was nothing wrong, never providing the medical reports.

Later, as Ou Lianfeng’s pneumoconiosis worsened, realizing something was amiss, he went to the hospital for an examination and learned of his condition.

The investigative personnel reported these findings to Dean Xia. Dean Xia slammed his hand on the office desk, causing the tea cup to jump several times: "Outrageous!"
