“Please come in.”
With that, Chang Ling pushed the door open and walked in.
“President Shan, ever since you transferred the hospital’s surveillance cameras to me in real time this morning, I’ve been watching. There haven’t been any changes since this morning. There are extremely few people walking around. You can even count them with one hand.”
Chang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke. “But just now, a nurse pushed a cart. The cart was neatly filled with two rows of medicine and pushed it into the ward. It looks like it’s for the patients. However, 1 don’t know these things, so 1 took a few photos and took all the medicine. I quickly brought them over for you to see.”
Shan Yue took the camera from Chang Ling’s hand and flipped through the photos that had just been taken in the photo album. Her originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed.
All of this was in his eyes. He realized that something was wrong from Shan Yue’s behavior.
“What’s wrong, President Shan? What are these medicines for?”
Shan Yue paused for a moment, quickly recalling, selecting from the infinite fragments. Finally, she remembered seeing similar drugs in the organization’s pharmaceutical warehouse.
“If I’m not wrong, the main effect of this medicine is to treat lung disease, and it’s extremely strong. Moreover, you can vaguely see in these photos that the cap is printed with ‘anti-infectious’. This is the decisive evidence that this disease is infectious.”
Shan Yue observed very carefully. Looking at the photo in front of her and her memories, it was as if a real medicine was placed in front of her.
“In that case, are they undergoing medical treatment?” Chang Ling’s eyes revealed confusion. “Didn’t you say that this is a new virus that has never appeared before? Logically speaking, it’s impossible to develop an antidote in such a short period of time, so they’re still using other drugs to relieve it?”
“No, you’re still taking this too lightly. This drug isn’t ordinary. It’s a drug that’s been banned nationwide for years. It’s contraband.”
Shan Yue lowered her voice slightly. “This medicine can indeed alleviate all the illnesses caused by lung disease, but it can’t solve the problem from the root. The reason why it works for a while is because the drugs in it have an effect. It’s just to numb people’s nerves. To put it bluntly, it’s to relieve the pain of waiting for death.”
After hearing this, Chang Ling’s face was filled with disbelief. This was because he really could not imagine that there would be someone with such a dark heart.
“How is that possible? How is this treatment? Isn’t it equivalent to giving up on the patient? Wouldn’t it be murder to put it bluntly?”
“Unfortunately, that’s the truth. If a large-scale infection really happens in the Federation’s Central City one day, some people with high status will definitely be affected. If it’s not handled properly, their official positions will definitely be immediately removed. They will definitely not allow such a situation to happen.”
Shan Yue told Chang Ling about the dark side of society without any taboos. “So in the face of such a situation, their best solution is to hide it. Find an excuse to keep them in the hospital. On the surface, they’re kind enough to treat the patients. Paralysis makes the patients think that they’re gradually improving, but they don’t know that they’re just waiting for death.”
These words really shocked Chang Ling’s worldview. He had grown up in a mercenary group and had already seen many dark sides of society.
However, after hearing Shan Yue’s words, he, who had thought that he was knowledgeable, was still deeply shocked. It turned out that the lives of ordinary people were so cheap in the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles. They even became props on their way to promotion and protection.
After a few seconds of silence, Chang Ling still recovered from his shock.
No matter how many emotions he had, it was useless now. The most important thing now was what to do after knowing the truth.
“President Shan, we can’t stand by and do nothing. Perhaps their lung disease is already very serious, or even in the late stages, and there’s no possibility of recovery in their lives. But so far, the only one who has a chance to save them is our Shan Corporation..”
