The arrival of Mr. Wu and the two elders brought hope to Wind City. The three important figures went deep into various rescue stations, personally bringing warmth to the victims.

An Yiqing was compelled by Gu Yelin to sleep soundly at the rescue station. When she woke up, it was already dark. Gu Yelin had long since left with Mr. Wu and the two elders. In the ensuing days, An Yiqing once again shuttled between various areas of Wind City, helping soldiers treat countless severely injured victims.

The communication cables in Wind City were finally repaired. As soon as An Yiqing turned on her phone, she received a call from Gu Yelin.

"Tutu, come back quickly, something’s happened."

An Yiqing’s heart sank, and without a word, she rushed to the Hongci Control Headquarters with Xiao Ba. Inside the black tents, many team members in Hongci uniforms were bustling in and out. Their faces were covered with white masks, and their hands wore thick gloves. Seeing this scene, An Yiqing knew things were not looking good.

She lifted the tent flap and strode inside. In the control center, Gu Yelin, the leaders of Wind City, and the person in charge sent from above were all sitting with furrowed brows.

"What’s going on?" An Yiqing got straight to the point.

"An unknown epidemic has broken out massively in Wind City," Gu Yelin pulled An Yiqing over and took out a document. The document recorded the situation of victims admitted to various hospitals in Wind City these days.

An Yiqing quickly glanced through it, her brows tightly knit, "Didn’t they say a few days ago that it was under control? Didn’t they say those patients’ fevers had gone down? How could this happen?"

Her questioning eyes turned to the Wind City officer Huang Shan, who shivered with fright and immediately looked at the middle-aged man standing behind him.

"Director Wang, what on earth is going on? Hurry up and explain to Miss An!"

The man referred to as Director Wang was the Chief Officer of the Wind City Health Bureau. In this major Wind City disaster, as the commander of the major hospitals, Wang Feng played a crucial role.

At this moment, Wang Feng’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Anyone present had a higher rank than his, especially General Gu and Miss An, who could crush him with just a flick of their fingers. The epidemic in Wind City had erupted again, and as the Health Bureau’s Director, he bore an inescapable responsibility. But heaven and earth be witness, he really didn’t know what was going on!

"Miss An, please listen to me explain slowly." Wang Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Here’s the situation. On the night of the first major disaster in Wind City, the victims sent to the hospital indeed experienced persistent high fevers. At the same time, many elderly people suffered from severe organ failure. We had already reported this matter. But who knew the next day the patients’ conditions would improve. Professor Yu personally examined the patients and said their bodies had returned to normal. That’s why we didn’t report it further."

"Professor Yu?!" An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, "Which Professor Yu?"

"It’s the Deputy Director of the Xuanjin Medical Research Institute, Professor Yu Tianhua," Wang Feng said.

An Yiqing realized, she had heard of Yu Tianhua. The Deputy Director of the Xuanjin Medical Research Institute, his medical skills were quite remarkable; he had participated prominently in conquering numerous epidemics and achieved significant results. In the medical field, although Yu Tianhua’s reputation could not match the world-class Taishan Beidou like Ye Chenghong, he still had a place in Xuanjin. Otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved the Deputy Director position in just ten years.

No wonder this Wang Feng didn’t report it; Yu Tianhua represented authority and came from Xuandu City, so Wang was naturally hesitant to question him.

"What did Professor Yu say? Tell me everything in detail."

"Y-yes!" Wang Feng nodded repeatedly, "The higher-ups are very concerned about this incident and specially asked Professor Yu to bring a medical team. Professor Yu observed those feverish patients for a while and conducted an in-depth study. He said... h-he said the fever and organ failure observed in these victims were merely a neurological response due to sudden stimuli. Once they adapted to the process, they would be fine. We were initially somewhat suspicious, but later, when those feverish patients indeed returned to normal, the matter was dropped. If we had known that this strange disease would break out on a large scale again, how could we dare to ignore it?..." Wang Feng felt like dying; if the higher-ups accused him of deliberate concealment, his position would be at risk!

An Yiqing also saw that Wang Feng was indeed not lying. She squinted slightly, internally guessing what on earth Yu Tianhua was up to.
