Chapter 1753: Settled
“Then this matter is settled. Nuannuan, you will be in charge of the formula. The entire formula is in your hands alone. If anyone or any organization comes to you to ask for it, you and the people from the military hospital must make them go through the necessary procedures and come directly to me to ask for it.”
“Yes, President.”
“Yes.” Xu Ming and Qin Muyang immediately responded too.
“As for when to inject the tracking devices into the patient’s body, that will be decided by Nuannuan. Everything else will be handed over to Chi Yang.”
“Yes, President.” Chi Yang nodded.
Hundreds and thousands of patients’ families had already surrounded the main entrance of the hospital. Their expressions were ones of grief and indignation. Some of them even cursed loudly.
“Didn’t you say that this disease wasn’t contagious? Why have so many people been infected at the same time?”
“Last time, you said that Nangong Nuannuan had the medicine, so why didn’t you let her give it out? We’ll pay her however much she wants!”
“Yeah! So many people have been infected with lung disease. Are we just going to leave them be? If the whole country is infected, are we just going to leave everything be?”
“How long has it been? Even though that guy had some ill-gotten gains, it was still half a month ago. What have the people from the military hospital been doing for the past half month? Why haven’t they done further research on the medicine and come up with a better one?”

“That’s right! Why didn’t they do more research on it? It’s only now that it’s being brought up again. What’s the point of discussing this?!”
“Doesn’t our country have a powerful Medic a.s.sociation? Aren’t the people from there all high-level medical talents who are experts and professors hired from all over the world? Why didn’t the hospital ask them to study the medicine that Nangong Nuannuan didn’t know how to develop?”
“Of course! It must be because Nangong Nuannuan wanted to make a huge profit from her medicine, so she was unwilling to give the formula away.”
“She’s so young, yet she’s already so greedy. To be the Nangong family’s eldest daughter… It’s simply a disgrace to her family’s 100-year reputation!”
“To put it bluntly, it’s still the military hospital’s inaction at fault! They treat human lives like they’re worth less than gra.s.s!”
“The military hospital has links to the military base. Since the Nangong family is so influential in the matters of the base, of course they want to fight for their own interests.”
“Does fighting for their own interests mean they can disregard the lives of ordinary people like us?”
…
The news of the patient’s death had already spread like wildfire, and it had reached the family members of the patient.
Even though the doctors at the door kept on explaining that the higher-ups were discussing what to do and would definitely give them an explanation by noon that day, the family members still would not let up.
Everyone thought that since this disease had been contracted once before and there had been a suitable drug to cure it the first time, the relevant medical research departments should have immediately taken over this drug’s research. With that, they would be able to combine the knowledge of many experts to conduct more in-depth research on this drug. If they had done so from the beginning, then this large-scale outbreak of the disease after half a month’s time would not have caught them so unprepared. The hospital was once again reacting, and not responding, to the illness—the same way they had reacted to the first patient.
As people pushed their way inside, the crowd outside squeezed in more when they saw something unusual.
There was a square in front of the fountain by the entrance of the military hospital. By Qin Muyang’s request, they had put up a platform early in the morning to hold a press conference there.
