Chapter 1975: Chapter 1960: Overseas Returnee (2)

"Do you need my help?" Chen Yang said.

"The people from the Five Poisons Cult usually excel in poison attacks, but their actual combat strength isn’t that strong. Lisa and the others can handle it," Ma Jiantao replied.

"Alright."

Seeing no need to help, Chen Yang didn’t say much more. After chatting with Ma Jiantao for a while, he left the village office and returned to Linghe Village.

A disaster disease had broken out in Linghe Village, causing panic not only in the entire town but also throughout the county.

In this situation, the tourism industry of Linghe Village was naturally also impacted.

Many tourists chose to leave, and suddenly the large village was left with only some staff and local villagers.

It became much quieter all of a sudden.

But this was unavoidable; no one wanted to catch a disease.

So, upon returning to the village, Chen Yang simply gave the company employees a few days off, and planned to reopen the scenic area once the situation improved.

The company couldn’t just close down; a lot of equipment needed maintenance, so Chen Yang also made some arrangements for the company.

By the time he finished dealing with everything and returned to the medical clinic, it was already seven or eight in the evening.

After hastily having a dinner, he spent the evening cultivating quietly, improving his skills.

The next morning, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin set out together to Linghe Village to check on the patients from the previous day.

The patients were much better today, but to fully recover they probably needed to keep taking the medicine for some time.

Though the recovery was slow, everyone saw hope, which was a good sign.

But unexpectedly, near noon, when it was time to administer the medicine to the patients, a medical team from the provincial capital stopped them on the spot.

"You must stop using your current medication immediately! We’ve studied this disaster disease, and a slow course of treatment is tantamount to a slow death!" a tall, thin doctor, about twenty-five or six years old, wearing glasses, said emphatically.

Everyone was stunned by his words.

The mayor was the first to react. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Dr. Wang, but this medication is indeed helping the patients’ conditions."

"Mayor, it’s true there is some help, but the problem is disaster diseases cannot be treated slowly! What you’re doing is letting the patients die slowly," Dr. Wang said emphatically.

"Ah? Dr. Wang, then what do you suggest we do?"

The mayor was immediately at a loss.

"Immediately stop using this ’Baicao Decoction’ and use the treatment plan we’ve agreed upon from the provincial capital," Dr. Wang said bluntly.

"Ah, this..."

The mayor was shocked by Dr. Wang’s statement.

Because what he said completely contradicted Chen Yang’s approach, and from his heart, he trusted Chen Yang more.

However, Dr. Wang and his team were specially dispatched from the provincial capital, and he was a foreign-trained doctor.

He couldn’t completely dismiss his words.

As the mayor was struggling with his thoughts, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin heard the noise inside and came in from outside.

"You want to stop my medication?"

Chen Yang frowned, staring at the bespectacled Dr. Wang.

Young, extraordinary temperament, you could tell he had quite a background from the first look.

And indeed, it was true. As soon as he heard Chen Yang speaking, he immediately turned to face Chen Yang.

A strong self-confidence was written all over his face, with no hesitation: "Yes, all medication must be stopped. From now on, everything in this room must follow my arrangements."

"Stop my medication? What is your basis?" Already aware of the doctor’s significant background, Chen Yang didn’t want to argue unnecessarily and just focused on the matter at hand.

If the other party could provide him with a better solution, he wouldn’t argue further.

"Basis? Do I need to explain myself to you? Country quack, if it weren’t for me acknowledging your good intentions, I’d hold you accountable for your misuse of medicine," Dr. Wang said unceremoniously, adopting a superior stance.

Chen Yang was infuriated.

"Dr. Wang! You’ve gone too far! Chen Yang helped with the treatment under my authorization. If there’s any problem, I’ll take responsibility," the mayor quickly interjected, his face also turning stern.

Dr. Wang had some insight; he dared to offend Chen Yang after realizing he was just an ordinary person.

He was relatively polite to the mayor, knowing not to go too far.

"Mayor, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean to blame anyone. I just don’t want this person interfering with our treatment. After all, disaster diseases are not ordinary illnesses, and if mistakes occur, it could become a serious issue," Dr. Wang said with a smile.

The mayor’s expression was still not pleasant, "I understand your good intentions, but is that really the way to speak? Calling someone a quack right off the bat, is that appropriate?"

"Hehe, I got a bit too excited earlier, please forgive me, Mayor," Dr. Wang said lightly, moving past the matter.

While still feeling somewhat uncomfortable about the situation, the mayor opted to let it go.

"Mayor, let’s not delay any longer. I’m going to proceed with treatment now. I’ll need to consult you on some matters later, please wait a moment," Dr. Wang said, putting on a gas mask, promptly leading a few of his provincial team members to start treating the patients on the spot.

Seeing this, the town’s doctors could only cooperate, assisting Dr. Wang and his team.

"Chen Yang, I’m sorry. This man comes from the provincial capital, and he’s a foreign graduate; he’s quite arrogant, and I can’t control him," the mayor said apologetically to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang had come to help him but hadn’t gained any advantages and was even criticized.

The mayor naturally felt apologetic.

However, Chen Yang didn’t take it too seriously.

He had encountered many people like this who, born with privileged backgrounds and a bit of talent, carried themselves as though their eyes were on their foreheads.

He naturally didn’t want to fuss over such people.

"It’s alright, Mayor. Since he is so confident, let him treat the patients," Chen Yang said indifferently.

"Okay, okay," the mayor nodded, not saying more. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin didn’t leave immediately; instead, they lingered in the hall.

He carefully observed Dr. Wang’s treatment methods.

Injections, IV drips, using instruments for examination—classic Western medicine approach.

But it had to be said, Dr. Wang was indeed somewhat skillful, more capable than many older doctors.

Having studied medicine, Chen Yang could discern some of Dr. Wang’s skills from the fine details of his treatment.

However, he had a feeling that Dr. Wang’s approach had some problems.

"Mayor, can you show me the medications Dr. Wang is giving to the patients?"

Chen Yang suddenly turned to the mayor.

"Certainly."

The mayor immediately got a set of medications and handed them to Chen Yang.

"These are it; he said using these, in a week, everyone would be fully recovered."

"A week?" Chen Yang immediately sensed something was amiss upon hearing such a short timeframe.

However, he did not outright deny it but instead carefully examined the medications provided by the mayor.

After a meticulous inspection, he found that these were all potent drugs.

They could indeed lead to a rapid recovery from the disease, but there were apparent risks; if the body couldn’t withstand it, there would be severe consequences.

"Are these medications meant for all patients?" Chen Yang asked, frowning and turning to the mayor.

The mayor noticed something was wrong with Chen Yang’s expression, "Yes, why? Is there a problem, Chen Yang?"

"These are all potent medications. Combined, they have remarkable effects on ordinary patients, but for those critically ill, they’re too dangerous to use; it could be fatal," Chen Yang said directly.

"What?"

The mayor was shocked, hearing about potential fatalities.

"Kid? What nonsense are you talking about here? Allowing you to stay is already giving you some face. If you keep spouting nonsense and inciting panic, don’t be surprised if I charge you with disorderly conduct!"

Dr. Wang, having heard Chen Yang’s remark, was enraged again.

He pointed at Chen Yang, raising his voice.
