Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao had just hung up with Liang Yueze when she received a call from the doctor at the hospital. The director even used honorifics with Jiang Yao when he knew that she was the Divine Doctor’s student.

“The patients’ conditions are getting worse. One of them was sent to the resuscitation room just now, but we were helpless then too. We could only help the patient for as long as we could. If the patient is in pain, our doctors are having a hard time too.” After the director complained for a while, he told Jiang Yao the patients’ general symptoms.

Jiang Yao listened very carefully. She could roughly guess the symptoms that the director had mentioned.

The ones who did not have severe symptoms mainly were the young adults. Only the young patients and the older patients reacted remarkably quickly because those people’s immune system was relatively low.

Those who had convulsed and foamed at the mouth must have been affected by the poppy flower. They might have taken a large amount of the poison, and one of them was fatal. It was quite terrifying, indeed.

Jiang Yao really wanted to tell them everything she knew, but she had to be cautious.

“You’ve tried to treat them as food poisoning cases, but that didn’t seem to work. Don’t you think their symptoms were like overdosing on the poppy flower? I’m guessing that the lobster might have been laced with some poppy flowers. The jimsonweed has similar symptoms to the poppy flower. It might even be a mixture of toxins. We’ve heard how criminals seem to favor these two toxins. Some other commonly used ones include animal venom, like spider venom. Maybe you can treat it like that.”

The director was confused. “Is there such a thing?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yao’s tone was very confident. “There are even some underground research institutes abroad that are researching all kinds of toxins.”

The director said, “Okay, I will immediately report your suggestion to the specialists. I also hope that you can help contact your teacher. It would be best if she could come. I know that your teacher must be very busy, but this is a matter of life and death. So I hope that you can convey our plea to your teacher.”

“I’ve already called my teacher. My teacher said she would book a flight back to China as soon as possible,” Jiang Yao said.

“That’s great!” the director said.

Jiang Yao could hear his excited pounding on the table over the phone. The two of them did not exchange pleasantries. After all, the director was in a hurry to report the matter to the doctors.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao walked back to the house with light steps. She had already said what she needed to say. The director would tell the provincial doctor that she had already contacted the Divine Doctor. The news that the Divine Doctor had already prepared to purchase a plane ticket should reach Master Sen and Master Zhu in YN soon.

Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu felt strange when they saw the joy on Jiang Yao’s face.

“It looks like you’ve solved the problem,” Mr.. Lu asked.
