Zhu Yanyi felt a bit speechless. Was her reputation really that big? But since Director Luo trusted her so much, she knew she had to think carefully. She had to save her. It was a new feeling to have such a loyal fan.
"Director Luo, please sit here. Let me check your pulse," Zhu Yanyi said.
"No need to be so polite, Little Divine Doctor. Just call me Old Luo," Director Luo said generously. she sat down where she pointed and held out her hand.
Zhu Yanyi placed her index and middle fingers on her pulse. She closed her eyes to diagnose, but used her special power to feel her body.
Some corpse worm gu had already hatched. To help all the gu hatch, the ones already out were constantly stimulating Director Luo’s energy. That was why he looked so energetic these days.
Fortunately, his brain was clean. There were no worm eggs there.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Director Luo. "Old Luo, do you often use brain testing machines? Like lie detectors?"
"Yes," Director Luo was surprised. she didn’t think Yan Huajun would tell her her work details. she was curious how she knew.
Zhu Yanyi smiled calmly. "Many corpse worm gu have hatched in your body, but your head is clean. This means you often use electric shocks on your brain for work. The gu are sensitive to danger. Since your brain has no traces, it must be related to your job. That’s how I guessed."
"Little Divine Doctor, you are amazing," Director Luo said, full of admiration.
"Sister-in-law, how is Old Luo? Can he be cured?" Yan Huajun wasn’t interested in the chat. He only wanted the result.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Director Luo. "Come to the Capital Hospital tomorrow morning to stay. Some gu have hatched, some haven’t. I need special methods to remove the unhatched ones first, then destroy the hatched ones.
It won’t be quick. It will take about a week, including removing the gu.
Also, the hatched gu have eaten much of your body’s energy. You will be very weak after the treatment. You need to rest in the hospital, take medicine, and get IV drips every day."
"Oh, I will go tomorrow," Director Luo said. He wanted to delay, but Yan Huajun was watching him. He had to agree.
Zhu Yanyi then spoke to Yan Huajun. "Please don’t tell anyone about this. It might cause panic."
"Okay, I will handle it. Don’t worry," Yan Huajun said seriously. Such things should not be public.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the wine nearby. "This corpse worm gu wine is used to create 'bug people'. Why could someone buy it? Are they short of bug people?" She didn’t say this out loud, fearing unnecessary panic.
"Bug people?" Yan Huajun looked at her, confused.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "In some Southeast Asian countries, people cultivate this gu for bug people.
Bug people are not really humans anymore. They are just shells for bugs. Except for human skin, their bodies are full of worms. They have no life signs.
But to others, they just move slowly and seem alive. The main use of bug people is to spread plague. If one bug person exists in a country, an outbreak can cause huge chaos. It is worse than the poison left by Japan in the past."
Hearing this, Yan Huajun suspected a conspiracy. Someone wanted his subordinate to buy this wine to create bug people in China. It was hard to cultivate, but if one succeeded, China would face disaster.
Yan Huajun got anxious. "No, I must investigate. Who else bought this wine besides Chen Dabing?"
"No need. I already have people investigating," Yan Aohan walked in from outside. "You sent five people on that mission. Four men and one woman.
Chen Dabing bought the most because he knew you liked drinking.
The other four, only the female soldier, Zhen Ting, bought one bottle for her father.
I have people retrieving these wines. If any were given away, we are tracking where they went. If anyone has drunk it, they will be sent to the Capital Hospital tomorrow." The last part was for Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "You should also check why this wine appeared on the market. Was it intentional or accidental by that mission country?"
"We are investigating. Results will come soon," Yan Aohan sighed. "It is a troubled time. Many things shouldn’t happen, but they do."
"It’s okay. If it happens, we accept it. As long as no one is hurt," Zhu Yanyi said simply. She didn’t care why it happened. Her only goal was to protect everyone.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the table. "Let’s eat. You look pitiful. Aohan, go to our car and bring in the medicinal wine. I planned to give it to you after dinner, but you drank too much. Today you were scared, so here it is to calm you down. But same rule: only one cup per person."
"Having something to drink is good enough," Yan Aohan said. He brought several bottles from his car. Every man got one, including Old Luo.
"Raoyue, come. This is a gift for you," Zhu Yanyi smiled. She took a box from her bag and handed it to Yan Raoyue.
"What a beautiful brooch!" Yan Raoyue was very happy. "Isn’t this from the Spring Bud series by that famous perfume designer? I heard there are seven in total, each different." Yan Raoyue looked surprised and delighted.
