Chapter 66 No Contagion

Chen Fan shrugged indifferently, confident in his judgment.

Zhao Qianqian had also arrived at the hospital cafeteria and asked the staff to boil a large pot of mung bean soup.

About half an hour later, a large pot of mung bean soup was brought to the inpatient department.

The nurses poured the mung bean soup into disposable paper cups and distributed them to the psychiatric patients, who all drank it.

"Does the mung bean soup Dr. Chen asked to be made really work?"

"Who knows? The gods fight, we little soldiers just do as we're told."

"Hey, do you think Dr. Chen's judgment was right, or Dr. Liu's?"

"I think it's Dr. Liu."

"I think so too."

"Dr. Liu is not only handsome, but he's also a doctor from the world's top medical university. What about Dr. Chen? He's just a recent graduate with a bachelor's degree, and the school he graduated from isn't even ranked globally. I think Dr. Liu must be correct."

"But Dr. Chen also operated on that patient who jumped last time. Who would dare perform brain surgery like that without experience and courage? I think Dr. Chen might be right, maybe these people were really poisoned."

"What good is courage? Don't you think about it, criminals have courage, don't they? They rob and kill, but can they practice medicine? Obviously not."

As many doctors and nurses distributed the mung bean soup, they discussed amongst themselves.

However, the majority still agreed with Liu Qianze's judgment.

Soon, all the mung bean soup at the scene was consumed by the patients.

Doctors from the infectious disease hospital, wearing protective clothing, also arrived at the psychiatric hospital.

Upon learning that there might be an infectious disease at the psychiatric hospital, the police also sealed off the perimeter, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

Suddenly, the news of a potential infectious disease outbreak at the psychiatric hospital spread like wildfire throughout Jiangcheng City.

Doctors from the infectious disease hospital, clad in protective gear, collected blood serum from the patients and began serum analysis in their vehicle.

However, during this process, the patients who had drunk the mung bean soup began to vomit even more violently.

Seeing this, Lian Wenxin's face showed a hint of triumph. He glanced at Chen Fan and said sarcastically, "Dr. Chen, it seems your mung bean soup isn't working. See? The patients are vomiting even more severely after drinking it."

Chen Fan said calmly, "Vomiting is bound to happen. How can they get better if they don't vomit?"

"Heh, you mean they can vomit out the poison? Alas, Dr. Chen, you're so young, why don't you believe in science? Why insist on learning that deceptive traditional Chinese medicine?"

Chen Fan looked at Lian Wenxin and asked, "What if this mung bean soup works?"

Lian Wenxin sneered, "If it works, I'll be responsible for the hygiene of your department for a month."

"A year," Chen Fan said, holding up one finger.

"Fine, a year it is. If it doesn't work, then you'll be responsible for the hygiene of our department for a year!"

However, Lian Wenxin suddenly laughed again, "Heh, I forgot, you'll be leaving the hospital in less than a month. In that case, if you lose, you'll be responsible for the hygiene of the entire outpatient building until you leave the hospital."

"Deal," Chen Fan agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's settled," Lian Wenxin said smugly, thinking he could finally have his day.

"Huh?"

"Director, the patient in bed number 2's symptoms have disappeared!" At this moment, a nurse's voice suddenly rang out in the ward.

"The symptoms of the patient in bed number 3 have also disappeared."

"Bed number 8 is the same."

"The headache and abdominal pain of the patient in bed number 10 have stopped."

"Director, the patients on the second and third floors have all seen their symptoms alleviate! Their complexions have also improved considerably."

Hearing the nurses' voices one after another, Lian Wenxin, who had been smug, froze.

"What? Their symptoms have all improved?" Luo Yongtang asked, his expression astonished.

The nurse replied, "Yes, Director Luo. Even those who were severely ill have shown significant improvement."

"This, how is this possible!" Lian Wenxin snapped out of his shock, his face turning extremely grim.

The medical staff present also looked at Chen Fan with disbelief.

It was just as Chen Fan had said, a bowl of mung bean soup could solve the problem!

Liu Qianze walked into the ward from outside, unaware of the changes within. He looked at Chen Fan mockingly and said, "Dr. Chen, the results will be out soon. Do you still insist on your so-called traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis?"

Chen Fan smiled helplessly and said nothing.

Lian Wenxin quickly coughed twice, "Cough, cough!"

Seeing Chen Fan's silence, Liu Qianze assumed he was backing down and continued to taunt, "To use traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis for patients, I really don't know what you've learned in the hospital all these years. If your teacher knew about this, they would probably regret teaching you."

"Cough, cough!" Hearing Liu Qianze still relentlessly mocking Chen Fan, Lian Wenxin awkwardly coughed again.

"Director Lian, are you feeling unwell?" Liu Qianze asked, looking at Lian Wenxin in confusion.

Lian Wenxin lowered his head in embarrassment, no longer speaking. He wondered how Liu Qianze, with his high intelligence, couldn't sense the changes in the ward.

At this moment, Luo Yongtang said, "Dr. Liu, I don't think we need to wait for the results from the infectious disease hospital."

Liu Qianze frowned and asked, "Director Luo, what do you mean?"

Luo Yongtang pointed to the ward, "Haven't you noticed that all these patients have improved after drinking the mung bean soup?"

Liu Qianze looked around. Indeed, the patients who had been writhing in pain, vomiting, and having diarrhea were now lying quietly in their beds. Some with milder symptoms were even walking around.

"How is this possible?" Liu Qianze refused to believe that a bowl of mung bean soup could solve this.

He then said, "Director Luo, this is surely just a superficial phenomenon. Some diseases, after reaching a certain stage of infection, can indeed present with such a false recovery. We can't just conclude they are fine based on these appearances!"

Just then, a doctor in protective clothing walked in.

Seeing this doctor, Liu Qianze, wearing a mask, quickly stepped forward, "Dr. Lu, how are things? Did they contract some infectious virus?"

The doctor in protective clothing opened his suit and took a few breaths of air before saying, "They don't have any infectious disease. All their indicators are normal."

"What? No infectious disease?" Liu Qianze asked, incredulous.
