13: Section 13
The moment the figure in the Every Regiment uniform appeared on the surveillance screen, everyone in the conference room held their breath and focused their attention.
Because the Guo'an personnel delivering the medicine had already arrived at the residential area.
In a few more minutes, the results would appear. The closer it got, the more nervous they became.
Amidst the tension of the many leaders, and under Li Yaoyao's serious gaze,
the Guo'an personnel, disguised as a delivery driver, had arrived at the residential building where Lin Bai lived, coming from outside the complex gate. He looked up at the building number to confirm, then parked his vehicle downstairs, took a bag of medicine from his box, and walked upstairs... As for Lin Bai,
he naturally had no idea that his online purchase had, in a sense, caused a stir throughout the country, attracting the attention of various departments and even the highest echelons.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of his computer, diligently completing orders.
As a working man, even though he had escaped the nine-to-five routine, he still needed to save money, right?
So Lin Bai didn't miss any opportunity to take orders.
Even though he had a cold and a headache now, Lin Bai didn't let himself idle.
"Clatter!"
The sound of his hands hitting the keyboard and mouse continuously echoed in the room, only slowly stopping more than two hours later.
"It really is a new keyboard; the feel is excellent. It even improves my work efficiency quite a bit!"
Lin Bai let out a long breath.
Normally, a similar order would take several hours, but today, whether it was because of the new keyboard or because he was gradually integrating into this world, his efficiency had indeed improved significantly.
However... Lin Bai touched his forehead and found that it was burning hot, and the dizziness in his mind was getting heavier.
His cold and fever had worsened!
"That's not right, I bought medicine two hours ago, and the pharmacy isn't far. Why hasn't it arrived after all this time?"
Lin Bai suddenly remembered that he had bought medicine.
But why hadn't it arrived yet?
There was nothing he could do, so Lin Bai could only temporarily use physical cooling methods, wiping his upper body, then lying on the bed with a hot compress.
The discomfort did alleviate somewhat.
But Lin Bai knew this relief was temporary; given his current physical condition, he had to take medicine.
However, another ten minutes passed.
"Still not here? Why is today's delivery so slow?"
Lin Bai felt something was amiss.
He remembered that the original owner had lived here for quite some time and had also ordered medicine through delivery, from the same place he ordered from now. But before, it always arrived quickly. Why was it so slow today?
"Could it be that no rider accepted the order?"
Lin Bai frowned and muttered to himself. Then he opened his Every Regiment backend; a rider had long since accepted the order.
It now showed a distance of one or two hundred meters.
Lin Bai glanced at it, then placed his phone on the bed, waiting for the other party to knock on the door.
With only one or two hundred meters left, there was no need to fuss.
If it were still another ten or dozens of minutes, he would have even planned to complain about them.
Meanwhile, in the next room,
Li Yaoyao listened to Lin Bai's murmuring, thinking with a bit of a wry smile:
"The chiefs and others took two hours to gather personnel, discuss decisions, notify the hospital, and retrieve medicine from the old professor."
"Then the entire Guo'an protected the medicine transport throughout, even using an airplane to save time."
"Such a huge operation, and it only took two hours. That's already very fast!"
From Li Yaoyao's perspective,
the country's efficiency this time was absolutely unprecedentedly high!
However, Lin Bai didn't know any of this. At this moment, he finally heard a knock at the door, accompanied by a man's voice.
"Hello! Every Regiment delivery. Is anyone home?"
...P.S.: Brothers and sisters, as everyone knows, the data during the free period of a new book is very important, even crucial for whether a book can continue! The data for this book hasn't moved much, and I'm really panicking!
Here, I humbly beg everyone to lend a hand. If you could give me a flower, a review ticket, or even a tip, I would be eternally grateful!

Chapter Sixteen: The High-Level Officials Anxiously Await, Lin Bai Tears Open the Packaging!
Hearing the voice outside the door, Lin Bai quickly got up and took off the towel that was on his head.
However, he got up a bit too quickly, and the sharp pain in his head forced him to slow down his movements.
"Please wait a moment, I'll be right there." Lin Bai walked towards the door, holding his head with his right hand... Opening the door, the delivery driver who had just spoken was standing outside.
Dressed in an Every Regiment uniform, he held a phone in his right hand and a white plastic bag in his left, looking like a very professional delivery person.
As soon as the delivery driver saw Lin Bai, he handed the bag to him.
"You're Mr. Lin, right? This is the medicine you ordered."
As he spoke,
the Guo'an personnel's gaze was also scrutinizing Lin Bai.
Is it just this young man?
Just this young man, whose ordinary online medicine order startled the highest levels of the entire country, as well as various departments?
Even this latest special asthma medicine, not yet on the market, was being used to test him?!
Li Xingguo was secretly startled.
After all, being able to participate in this mission, he naturally knew some of the circumstances.
But knowing was one thing; standing in front of Lin Bai now was another.
This feeling of shock and alarm was truly indescribable.
Lin Bai didn't notice Li Xingguo's gaze or expression; his attention was entirely focused on the medicine bag at this moment. He reached out to take the medicine bag and asked, "Why did it take so long to deliver? I remember placing the order more than two hours ago."
"You accepted the order two hours ago as well."
Seeing Lin Bai's gaze, Li Xingguo quickly retracted his scrutinizing look, relaxed, and showed an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, sir, there was a delay picking up the medicine at the pharmacy. Please understand."
Lin Bai didn't think much of it when he heard the other party say that.
After all, he couldn't possibly imagine,
that the country had made such a huge move for his medicine delivery!
Moreover,
his question about the delay was merely expressing his confusion. After all, a delay of over an hour was normal, and he wasn't necessarily looking to hold anyone accountable.
He nodded and said, "Alright."
Then he turned and went back into his room.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir, and I wish you a speedy recovery."
Li Xingguo said with a smile, then went downstairs, but he didn't go far, instead waiting in the stairwell on the lower floor.
After all, his mission was not yet complete.
He still had to take back the special asthma medicine, whose quality would be improved by Lin Bai!
..."Here it comes. The next period is the most crucial!"
Supreme Conference Room.
When several high-ranking officials saw Lin Bai take the medicine bag from Li Xingguo and return to his room, all their nerves tensed up.
At such a moment,
no one spoke loudly, and no one discussed; everyone concentrated their minds, observing what would happen next!
Meanwhile, at the Medical Science Academy,
several old professors who had dedicated their lives to the country and its people also nervously stared at the screen through the surveillance video.
If the country's high-level officials felt anticipation and tension about what was to come, then their emotions were focused on anticipation, tension, and excitement!
Why excitement?
Those who study medicine, no one understands the torment of illness better than them.
And when asthma attacks, it is even more agonizing.
Their professionals have studied for so many years, and world medicine has developed for so many years, yet to this day, they can only mildly alleviate the symptoms of asthma patients.
But Lin Bai's ability is to improve the quality of online purchased items.
And the special medicine they sent could already alleviate symptoms, so after quality improvement, would it be able to severely alleviate them?
Or even... completely eradicate asthma?!
