146: Lao Sha joins the team and wins over the team

As Old Sha misunderstood the content of the message, he cried out in surprise.

Su Yue heard Old Sha's voice coming from the live stream room.

He had merely expressed his intention, wanting Old Sha to do some things for him.

Because Su Yue could clearly sense that the hospital was taking the black scale disease matter quite seriously now.

In a very short time, they had already initiated lockdown and isolation for symptomatic patients, preventing the spread from uncontrollably expanding within the city.

And if the goal of that group of people was to spread this disease,

Then, hindered by the hospital's reaction speed, they would surely act again, looking for the remaining Homeless people to target.

From this, it was evident that Old Sha and others were not entirely safe either.

Under these circumstances, to prevent the situation from escalating further,

The only way was for Old Sha to contact his circle and have the remaining Homeless people who were not yet infected prepare countermeasures in advance.

Thinking of this, Su Yue continued to type and communicate with Old Sha:

"Think about it, that group of people might still target you."

"You are in the open, they are in the dark, and you don't even know what they are trying to do."

"Do you really want to be on edge every night, guarding against them?"

After sending the message, Su Yue stayed in the live stream room, quietly waiting for Old Sha's reply.

And as expected, Old Sha in the live stream room fell silent for a moment again.

The dim screen flickered, with only the sound of Old Sha walking around.

In this sudden silence, the audience in the live stream room was utterly confused.

They did not know about Su Yue's conversation with Old Sha in the message,

And were also quite puzzled by what Old Sha had just said.

But Su Yue knew that Old Sha was currently contemplating the pros and cons of cooperating with him.

Not long after, a simulated typing sound from a phone echoed in the live stream room.

Su Yue quickly received a message from Old Sha.

"Alright, I really want to know what those Fat Bears are up to, and where my brother is now."

"But let's be clear beforehand, I won't do anything illegal or against the rules."

Seeing Old Sha's reply, a smile appeared at the corner of Su Yue's mouth.

And since a cooperative relationship had been established, Su Yue also provided some of the existing information.

After all, Old Sha still simply thought those people were 'Fat Bears'.

It was necessary to make them realize the seriousness of the problem now so that they could raise their vigilance as much as possible.

Thereby maximally curbing the idea of that group of people wanting to use Homeless people to spread the black scale disease.

"The group of people you met last night, do you remember what they were wearing at the time?"

"Those clothes that looked like spacesuits are actually medical isolation suits."

"And the reason they are looking for lone Homeless people everywhere is to spread an infectious pathogen..."

"Huh??" As Su Yue's message was sent and fell into Old Sha's eyes,

Old Sha was heard muttering in surprise in the live stream room, sounding quite incredulous.

"Really? How could they be so beastly!"

"Don't alert the enemy." Seeing that Old Sha was a bit emotional, Su Yue reminded him in the message.

After all, there were over a thousand viewers in Old Sha's live stream room, a mixed bag of people.

And Su Yue also planned to have Old Sha turn around and investigate the identity of that group.

They couldn't let the other party realize that their actions had already been discovered yet.

"An infectious disease is not a secret that can be kept, especially since the hospital has admitted quite a few patients with the same symptoms and has realized the seriousness of the problem."

"It won't be long before you see related reports through various channels."

"And it is precisely because the hospital took measures that the infectious disease did not break out on a large scale as expected."

"So that group of people might still target you, and you need to communicate with the nearby Homeless people in advance."

"If conditions permit, perhaps you can even pool your strength and wait for them to fall into a trap."

As Su Yue finished sending the message, Old Sha nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand. I wanted to catch those Fat Bears a long time ago."

"I just didn't expect them to be so insane, even secretly messing with biological weapons?"

Old Sha replied in the message, already speculating about the identity of that group.

He subconsciously thought they were spies from another country, maliciously releasing some kind of infectious disease.

But Su Yue only knew what they were doing now, not their purpose.

And what benefit they could gain from randomly releasing the black scale disease.

The suitcase at the Airport security check couldn't help but flash through his mind...

Could it really have come from abroad? And the release of the black scale disease was purely for the purpose of biological warfare?

Su Yue furrowed his brows, without any evidence to support this guess.

He temporarily put this matter aside, thinking for a moment.

"Also, I need you to do something for me..."

Su Yue finally composed a message for Old Sha.

And when Old Sha saw this message, he agreed in a daze.

...

"Ah? Really?"

"Family members can visit tomorrow and bring some daily necessities?"

From the other side of the curtain, Li Haoyang's surprised voice came through as he was on a video call.

At the same time, Yang Qingmei's voice sounded from the phone:

"Of course it's true, President Lan informed me."

"President Lan also told me to organize the recent important documents and bring them to her tomorrow."

"It's just because you are under observation in the hospital."

"Even if I come to the hospital, it will probably be difficult for us to meet. They will likely just have a nurse hand them over to you."

From their conversation, it was not difficult to tell that they were in the midst of a passionate relationship.

And the following words were truly a bit mushy.

Su Yue put on his headphones and selectively ignored it.

They talked for a while longer, Yang Qingmei still needed to hurry up and organize the documents.

Only then did she reluctantly hang up the phone.

"Yue Ge! Did you hear that just now?"

After hanging up the video call, Li Haoyang eagerly asked from the other side.

As if looking for someone to share his joy, he then pulled back the curtain in the middle.

"Which part?" Su Yue leaned against the headboard, idly scrolling through videos, pretending not to know as he asked.

"Qingmei just said that family members can come to the hospital to visit and bring things tomorrow!"

Li Haoyang said, unable to hide his excitement.

Looking at Li Haoyang's expression, Su Yue forced a smile onto his face.

"Alright, your relationship is really good."

"Whenever you have the wedding, don't forget to invite Yue Lao for a drink."

Su Yue teased him. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the ward.

"May I come in?" A female voice sounded, likely a Doctor from the hospital.

"Please come in." Su Yue glanced at Li Haoyang. Both of them were dressed reasonably well, so he replied casually.

As Su Yue's response fell, the ward door was slowly pushed open.

A female Doctor in a white coat stood outside the door.

She wore a mask, held a notebook for recording in her hand, and looked quite capable.

Su Yue saw the person who had arrived and glanced at her chest.

There was a name tag there, with a two-inch photo of the Doctor and her identity information.

However, Su Yue only took a cursory look, and the Doctor introduced herself:

"My name is Chu Xuemei, and I am a Dermatologist at this hospital. I'm here for a routine visit."

"How are you feeling? Have you noticed any abnormal conditions on your bodies?"

"No." Li Haoyang immediately replied:

"Neither of us has any issues. If we did, we would definitely notify you immediately."

Hearing this, Su Yue also remained noncommittal on the side.

Seeing this situation, Chu Xuemei observed their condition again.

She indeed didn't see anything unusual, so she nodded and started recording in her notebook.

"Indeed, the smell of disinfectant alcohol in your ward is too strong."

"It's clear that you have a strong sense of protection."

Chu Xuemei said as she wrote in her notebook.

Li Haoyang cleared his throat slightly, looking a bit awkward.

Indeed, he had sprayed a lot of disinfectant alcohol in the room today.

The main reason was that the Director had visited today, and Li Haoyang still valued his life.

Hearing Dr. Chu mention it now, Li Haoyang couldn't help but remember the Director.

So he asked, "Oh, by the way, Dr. Chu, how is our Director now?"

"He has been transferred to a private ward."

Chu Xuemei replied without lifting her head, her hand still moving the pen:

"He did show early symptoms of black scale disease. We are trying to find a way to treat him."

"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility of other illnesses. You don't need to worry too much for now."

Hearing Dr. Chu's response, Li Haoyang's attention was focused on the first sentence.

Knowing that the Director had been put in an isolation ward, he didn't have to worry about him organizing any more joint letters.

"Oh, no worries, no worries." Li Haoyang muttered softly.

Chu Xuemei had also finished her notes and gave Su Yue and the other man a few instructions.

"Make sure you take precautions these few days. If there are no problems, you can leave after observing for a while longer."

"Also, disinfectant alcohol should be used in moderation. There's no need to use too much at once."

With that, Chu Xuemei closed her notebook, ready to turn and leave.

However, just then, Su Yue thought of something.

"Dr. Chu, please wait a moment."

Chu Xuemei heard the voice and instantly stopped her departing figure.

She turned her head and looked at Su Yue in confusion.

After calling out to Chu Xuemei, who was about to leave, Su Yue continued to ask:

"I'd like to ask, what kind of people are the patients currently diagnosed with black scale disease?"

"Huh?" Dr. Chu was clearly not expecting someone to ask this question.

She froze in place for a moment, looking at Su Yue in confusion.

"You... why are you asking this?"

A warm smile appeared on Su Yue's face as he said:

"Oh, I'm just purely curious and want to see if they are from the same line of work."

"Of course, if it involves anything inconvenient to disclose... then just pretend I didn't ask."

What Su Yue was thinking at this moment was actually to get some information from this Dr. Chu.

After all, the person Old Sha was looking for was still missing.

And judging from the signs of struggle in the unfinished building, he must have been targeted by that group and contracted the black scale disease.

At least he could take this opportunity to inquire with Dr. Chu.

See if there was any news of that Homeless person, whether he was among the diagnosed patients.

And if that person was not among the confirmed cases,

It would mean he was still carrying the black scale disease and wandering around outside...

At the same time, Li Haoyang also cast a curious glance at Chu Xuemei.

Although he hadn't expected Su Yue to suddenly ask this question, upon second thought,

Li Haoyang became interested, thinking to himself:

"Yue Ge is right! Why didn't I think of that?..."

"Asking about the identity and occupation of the currently diagnosed patients can also indirectly infer the spread of this disease... This way, we can feel more at ease."

Chu Xuemei had also regained her composure and looked at Su Yue, saying:

"Well... it's not that confidential. As long as it doesn't involve revealing the patient's identity and name, it doesn't matter."

Dr. Chu recalled for a moment and spoke slowly:

"I remember some of them are cleaners, a supermarket Boss... and a pharmacist at a pharmacy."

She roughly listed the patients currently diagnosed with black scale disease at the hospital.

And when Su Yue heard this, he secretly shook his head.

Clearly, the Homeless person Old Sha was looking for was not on this list.

This meant that he might still be seriously ill and wandering around outside.

At the same time, Su Yue also noticed that the identities of these patients varied.

This also confirmed the effectiveness of that group's use of Homeless people to spread the black scale disease.

Every morning, the trash cans in various communities are called treasure chests by Homeless people.

They can rummage through them and find all sorts of things.

And city cleaners are the most likely to have indirect contact with Homeless people.

As for the others, there's no need to say more, especially the pharmacist at the pharmacy.

It seemed that perhaps someone who was ill had gone to buy medicine before.

Su Yue was thinking when Li Haoyang on the side also spoke up.

"That's strange..." he muttered:

"Yue Ge, the occupations of these patients don't seem to have any overlap."

"People who usually have no connection whatsoever have all contracted the disease at the same time..."

"How is this transmitted?"

Li Haoyang had always been imaginative and liked to analyze problems.

It was not surprising that he could come up with this analysis based on these clues.

However, Dr. Chu was also looking at the two of them at this moment.

Especially after hearing Li Haoyang's words, her expression seemed a bit surprised.

"That's right." As if confirming, Dr. Chu said:

"We are also studying the transmission method of this disease and what connection there is between them."

"But we haven't gotten an accurate result yet."

This time, both Su Yue and Li Haoyang fell silent.

Seeing this, Dr. Chu said, "Alright, you don't need to think too much."

"At least for now, most of your colleagues haven't shown symptoms. Get some good rest."

With that, Dr. Chu stepped out of the ward and closed the door.

However, after Chu Xuemei left, Li Haoyang seemed to have discovered a new topic.

He was still muttering softly.

"Yeah... if they have no connection in their lives, how did they get sick at the same time?"

Seeing Li Haoyang like this, Su Yue couldn't help but tease him.

"Are you really pondering this?"

"Instead of guessing here, why don't you think about what you should ask Qingmei to bring you tomorrow."

As soon as Yang Qingmei was mentioned, a smile appeared on Li Haoyang's face, and he was also quite looking forward to tomorrow's visit.

But then, he turned his gaze to Su Yue.

"Hey? Yue Ge, what about you?"

"Who is coming to visit you tomorrow? Aren't you going to have them bring something over?"

"Me?" Upon hearing this, Lin Jia's figure was the first to pop into Su Yue's mind.

But he quickly shook his head. He hadn't even told Lin Jia about the visit.

"Forget it, no need to trouble her." Su Yue smiled indifferently.

He never expected that what happened the next day would even exceed his expectations.
