Chapter 598 Just a Game of Capital
The fans' voices thundered like roars, deafening and unending.
"Jessica, can I get your autograph?"
"Jessica, I love you!"
"Jessica, I heard you're filming the sequel to 'Fantastic Four,' is it true? Can you give us a hint about the plot?"
"Jessica..."
Especially after seeing Jessica in person, the fans became even more enthusiastic, surging forward like a tidal wave.
The passage was blocked, preventing other passengers from leaving the plane.
Some passengers were even knocked to the ground by the surging crowd.
Liu Yifei and Shen Bing were walking at the forefront and were also affected.
Two enthusiastic male fans almost collided with them.
"Be careful!"
Wang Chao stepped forward, holding onto Liu Yifei and Shen Bing, not letting them go ahead. He said in a deep voice, "It's too chaotic now. Let's wait for Jessica to pass, and then we can go."
Seeing the scene before her, Liu Yifei frowned and murmured, "Why do both White Eagle Country and our country have so many people who fanatically idolize celebrities?"
"Is it not good?" Shen Bing asked.
"In my opinion, the private lives of celebrities are chaotic, and many of them are involved in tax evasion and other shady dealings behind the scenes. They might look glamorous on the surface, but many things behind them are dirty trades," Liu Yifei shook her head, "In our country, many celebrities have gotten into trouble. Some have been suspected of drug abuse, tax evasion, and even involved in scandals of power and money exchange. It's just too messy!"
"Moreover, many celebrities have a very poor cultural level. I just don't understand why so many people like them!"
"I'd rather admire those scientists; their contributions to society and the country are much better than those celebrities."
"It's just a game of capital. People put them on a pedestal to extract money from them, exploiting the ignorance of the masses," Shen Bing said casually.
As someone in a high position, she had some understanding of the games played by capital.
Such tactics were common in the world of capital. The so-called top-tier celebrities were nothing more than tools used by capital to accumulate wealth.
"The ignorant masses are easily fooled by these celebrities. People who truly have their own opinions never treat these people as idols," Wang Chao said indifferently.
He used to have idols too; he was once a celebrity himself. But later, after becoming a mercenary, his idol became his master.
Since then, he has never had any idols.
Shen Bing nodded in agreement, "Ignorant people follow the crowd, following the superficial appearance and so-called talent."
"In reality, truly intelligent people see through appearances and understand the essence."
"If a person's essence is bad, any other aspect they present is just an illusion to deceive others."
The three of them waited for over an hour. After Jessica left, the fervent fans gradually dispersed, and the airport returned to normal order.
"Alright, let's go out as well," Shen Bing said.
The four of them left the airport, and when they stepped outside, Zhang Long was already waiting for them in the car.
The group of four got into the car and headed to another airport to take a helicopter directly to Massachusetts General Hospital.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at Massachusetts General Hospital.
After disembarking the plane, Shen Bing ignored everything else and went straight to the hospital. She arrived at her brother's ward.
"Shen Feng, big sister is here to see you!"
Relieved to find her brother still alive, she sat by his bedside, holding his thin hand, feeling deeply saddened, and her eyes turned red with tears swirling in her eyes.
Wang Chao and Liu Yifei stood on the side, remaining silent, unsure of how to comfort her.
Zhang Long, resourceful as always, somehow managed to obtain a photo of Shen Feng's medical prescription and handed it to Wang Chao. "Wang Chao, can you take a look and see if these treatments are correct?"
Wang Chao took the photo and carefully examined it, his brows furrowing immediately.
He noticed that someone had intentionally administered an inappropriate medication to Shen Feng, which led to a change in his condition and a worsening trend!
Upon making this discovery, Wang Chao didn't reveal anything but focused on the signature on the prescription.
Bernard Jefferson!
He memorized the name and looked at it again twice before handing the photo back to Zhang Long.
"How is it? Is there a problem?" Zhang Long asked.
"There's a small issue."
"What problem?"
"Among these prescriptions, one of the chemicals contained in a certain medication can worsen the patient's condition."
"What?"
Hearing this, Zhang Long became furious, and the veins on his forehead bulged. "What medication? Damn it, who dares to do this? I'll kill him!"
"Calm down a bit, don't act impulsively. This medication was justified and improved some of Shen Feng's symptoms. If we hold him accountable, he will explain it as a side effect, and we won't be able to do anything to him," Wang Chao advised.
Indeed, the medication contained elements that could worsen Shen Feng's condition, but it also had a positive effect. They couldn't find a legal basis for prosecution.
The person had a legitimate reason to use this medication!
They would not win a lawsuit against them!
Furthermore, they were in White Eagle Country, not on their own turf. Trying to sue those people would be even more difficult.
"But we can't let them manipulate us freely either!" Zhang Long gritted his teeth, looking displeased and clenching his fists.
They had placed Shen Feng here for the doctors to treat him. However, the foreign doctors treated Shen Feng's life so lightly, it was simply disregarding human life!
"What do you want to do then?" Wang Chao glanced at Zhang Long.
Zhang Long clenched his fists, seething with anger, but he knew he was powerless in this situation.
When under someone else's roof, one had to bow their head!
Unless they could cure Shen Feng's illness, awaken him, and restore him to health, they would remain at the mercy of this hospital.
Thinking of this, Zhang Long quickly turned to Wang Chao, "Wang Chao, didn't you say that there's an invisible creature in Shen Feng's brain devouring his brain tissue?"
"Now that you've seen Shen Feng, are you confident that you can cure him?"
"I'm confident!" Wang Chao nodded confidently.
Since arriving, he had used his 'Divine Pupil' to observe Shen Feng's brain and discovered the existence of an invisible creature within it.
This creature was like a worm, clinging to Shen Feng's brain and slowly devouring his brain tissue.
Of course, this creature was invisible to the naked eye; he had only detected its faint traces of power source flow, leading him to this conclusion.
"Really? Then hurry up and do something!" Zhang Long was overjoyed.
"Not so fast!"
"Not so fast? It's an urgent matter!"
"This creature is called the Spirit Worm, a particularly bizarre life form, and right now, it's at its most powerful."
Wang Chao's expression turned serious as he said, "If we act now, it will provoke its most ferocious resistance, which will give rise to extensive damage to the patient's brain tissue."
Hearing this, Zhang Long's expression changed abruptly. "Then what should we do?"
Wang Chao grabbed paper and pen, quickly wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Zhang Long. He uttered in a earnest tone, "You must find all the herbs listed on this prescription as quickly as possible."
"When the herbs arrive, I'll have a way to treat him."
While speaking, his gaze remained fixed on the invisible and eerie worm in Shen Feng's brain.
To deal with this worm, the first step was to put it into a state of hibernation.
This state could not be achieved through acupuncture; it required a gradual process using specific medicinal herbs.
"Alright, I'll go right away!"
Taking the prescription, Zhang Long rushed out to various pharmacies in White Eagle Country to purchase the required herbs.
