"Do you think Elder Lin has made any new discoveries?"
The speaker was one of Zhao Ruyue's former assistants.
Before Zhao Ruyue arrived, this person held a significant position within the medical team.
However, their skills were inferior.
When Zhao Ruyue came, they naturally had to step down to an assistant role.
"Perhaps the mysterious creature from before is acting up again," another person speculated.
Zhao Ruyue entered and, upon hearing this conversation, did not offer her opinion.
What was there to say?
When Lin Weidong arrived, he would naturally explain.
There was no need to rush to speculate for a few minutes.
It wasn't as if they had nothing better to do.
Seeing Zhao Ruyue's presence, the assistant's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he fell silent.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to help Zhao Ruyue with tasks and perform his duties as an assistant before.
It just meant that he wasn't truly convinced by Zhao Ruyue.
She was just a woman, always around Zhou Yu at the new recruit training base.
Why should she replace his position?
Zhao Ruyue naturally noticed the assistant's expression and turned her head, smiling and asking, "What's wrong, Assistant Lin? You seem to have something to say to me."
Assistant Lin's petty thoughts were naturally not something he could voice aloud.
Thus, he could only sheepishly fall silent.
Zhao Ruyue, however, let out a soft hum, unwilling to let him off, and continued, "We don't know about Elder Lin's matters, so it's best not to guess wildly."
Assistant Lin then reluctantly nodded, "I was just speaking casually."
Zhao Ruyue actually wanted to say a few words about Assistant Lin's attitude.
But she restrained herself.
People like Assistant Lin cared most about their pride.
He was already dissatisfied with a woman like Zhao Ruyue being placed above him.
If Zhao Ruyue were to scold him now, he would only feel humiliated.
And who knew what he might do then!
For the sake of unity within the medical team, Zhao Ruyue decided to endure.
But this did not mean that Assistant Lin's actions were correct.
Because currently, there were clearly people secretly causing trouble at the new recruit training base, creating a tense atmosphere.
No one knew where the person hiding in the shadows might be.
If they were to speculate wildly, and someone with ulterior motives overheard it.
It might even place a greater burden on the Dragon Group's work!
"What are you guys talking about? You look so serious?"
Lin Weidong's voice appeared at the doorway.
Only then did his figure become visible to everyone.
Lin Weidong appeared extremely tired, his face looking considerably older.
"Elder Lin!"
Upon seeing Lin Weidong, the medical team, who had just been chatting and speculating, all stood up and greeted him.
Lin Weidong raised his hand and waved, signaling everyone to sit down.
"I called you here today mainly because of this." Lin Weidong got straight to the point, placing a bottle of mineral water on the table.
All that could be seen was ordinary water inside the bottle.
Everyone present looked at each other, not understanding what Lin Weidong meant.
"This water was taken from one of our water tanks. After testing, it contains a neurotoxin."
"Two members of the Dragon Group have already been affected!"
"Dr. Zhao knows about this; they are currently on an IV drip," Lin Weidong continued.
After discovering the water quality anomaly, they immediately shut down the use of that water tank.
This was to prevent more people from being affected.
However, with the current medical facilities of the Dragon Group, it was impossible to analyze what kind of toxin was in the water.
"So, the medical team has two tasks: first, to analyze the water quality, and second, to cure the two Dragon Group members," Lin Weidong continued.
Only by analyzing what toxin was in the water could they prescribe the correct treatment!
"How did the water tank suddenly become poisoned?"
"Was it intentionally added, or did some creature accidentally get in?" Assistant Lin couldn't help but ask.
There had been unknown creatures before, so it was possible that some escaped creatures passed by and poisoned the water!
Lin Weidong looked at him twice. "This is not for the medical team to handle; the Dragon Group will investigate and find out."
"However, synthetic toxins intentionally added are different from biological toxins. I believe knowing the truth would be more beneficial for the medical team's work..." Assistant Lin said, somewhat unconvinced.
Lin Weidong's expression suddenly darkened, and a difficult-to-describe coldness appeared in his demeanor.
He scanned the assistant, making the assistant feel extremely uncomfortable.
Only then did Lin Weidong slowly speak.
"Remember, this matter must not be spread, to avoid causing panic."
"The specific reason will be investigated by the Dragon Group. Your responsibility is to identify the toxin and cure the Dragon Group members!"
He had invited the medical team to treat illnesses and save lives, not to act as detectives.
Assistant Lin's excessive questioning was clearly abnormal!
Although Lin Weidong didn't say anything negative, Assistant Lin felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped, feeling extremely humiliated.
He could only close his mouth, but the resentment in his eyes was not feigned.
After announcing the news, Lin Weidong asked Zhao Ruyue and Zhou Yu to stay behind.
The others went about their tasks.
After the medical team left.
Lin Weidong looked at Zhao Ruyue and frowned. "What's going on with your assistant? Doesn't he know the current situation at the training base? He asked so many questions; it felt off!"
Zhao Ruyue nodded.
She had already been uncomfortable with this Assistant Lin for some time.
However, because Assistant Lin had joined earlier, she didn't want to say too much.
She was afraid others would think she was putting on airs.
But in front of Lin Weidong, Zhao Ruyue didn't need to be polite. She directly said, "When I came in earlier, I also saw Assistant Lin and others speculating about the purpose of Elder Lin calling us here."
"I also feel that Assistant Lin is very suspicious!"
Lin Weidong tapped his finger on the table and looked at Zhou Yu. "Dr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Yu couldn't be bothered with such matters. He shrugged and spread his hands. "How should I know? I can't read minds."
"You!" Lin Weidong was speechless.
Then he coughed twice. "Never mind, let's not talk about this. I'll have someone investigate him later. Time will tell if there's a problem."
"Let's talk about the poisoned water tank now!"
Based on Lin Weidong's investigation, he believed it was deliberate.
This was because the water tanks at the new recruit training base were all sealed.
This was to ensure the safety of everyone's water supply.
Even if an unknown creature passed by, the toxin wouldn't leak in!
It could only be that someone intentionally opened the water tank and added the toxin.
It was fortunate that it was discovered early, and only two Dragon Group members were affected.
If it had been discovered later, with so many people at the new recruit training base, the consequences were unimaginable!
