Chapter 1070: Chapter 721 Actually, It’s a Trap (One more)

"Come, come, don’t just stand there, hurry over and take a seat." Knowing Mu Lin’s identity had made Ouyang Bo incredibly enthusiastic, and his enthusiasm almost dumbfounded Ouyang Zishan.

Is this still her old man?

Leading Mu Lin and a few others to the rest area to sit down, Ouyang Bo felt embarrassed as he tidied up the clutter on the sofa, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I’ve really been a bit overwhelmed recently and haven’t had time to tidy up." He had practically turned his office into a bedroom, resting on the sofa when tired, and resuming work as soon as he woke. He didn’t like being disturbed either, so if Ouyang Zishan was busy, no one would help clean the room.

Listening to Ouyang Bo, Mu Lin smiled and said, "Uncle Ouyang has worked hard."

Indeed he had worked hard. Although the man before them appeared energetic, one could still see that his complexion wasn’t great, a classic case of lack of rest and slight overexertion.

After tidying up, he invited Mu Lin to take a seat and then sat down opposite her, turning to Mu Lin and Jing Tian, "What’s the plan for your visit to F Country this time, Lin? I don’t suppose you’re here just for tourism." This was an affirmative statement. Looking at Mu Lin, Ouyang Bo’s face showed wisdom, displaying a stark contrast from before.

His gaze shifted to Jing Tian beside Mu Lin; he was certain that the man accompanying Mu Lin was also a soldier beyond doubt.

After all, the aura of a soldier was pretty easy to discern.

He remembered Master saying that Mu Lin seemed to have joined the military medics, and soldiers without a mission weren’t allowed to leave the country.

If she had left the country, then she must be carrying a burden, and as for what that was, it was most likely a secret.

Lin, the young girl.

Hearing this address, Mu Lin felt helpless; it seemed that the nickname "young girl" might never be detached from her in this lifetime.

Oh well, it was just a form of address, and she really had—gotten used to it.

She nodded slightly, "Indeed, I’m not here for tourism. My visit is actually related to the epidemic this time. As for the rest, I hope Uncle Ouyang won’t ask any further." Some matters weren’t convenient for her to disclose, and Mu Lin knew that Ouyang Bo would understand.

As expected.

"I understand," Ouyang Bo expressed his understanding, and the next moment he smiled brightly, "But having you here to help us, Lin, gives me even more confidence in dealing with this epidemic; after all, you are our current Divine Doctor Mu." Despite being abroad, this didn’t mean he hadn’t heard of Mu Lin’s reputation from other disciples. The new waves of the Yangtze River drive on those ahead. It seemed that they, the old men, could indeed start retiring slowly.

"Divine Doctor Mu!" Ouyang Zishan looked at Ouyang Bo with surprise, "Dad, are you talking about Mu Lin?" Divine Doctor, that’s impressive!

She appeared even younger than her.

Mu Lin merely smiled without speaking, while Ouyang Bo looked proud, "Indeed she is. Even I cannot match Lin’s medical skill." This was almost a direct quote from his Master and also something he agreed with.

Master had finally found the true successor of the Gong Family, which was indeed cause for celebration. When Ouyang Bo found out, he was truly happy for Old Master Gong.

Ouyang Zishan was simply shocked; she would never have imagined Mu Lin receiving such praise from her conservative old father! This was practically... a myth!

Ouyang Bo was a stubborn man; how could Ouyang Zishan not know that? In this world, the only people he truly acknowledged as having superior medical skills to his own were probably only a few of his own senior brothers; oh, and also that long-deceased eldest senior brother, who was often mentioned with regret.

Ouyang Zishan was unaware that Mu Lin was the disciple of that eldest senior brother.

Catching just a glance at Jing Tian, who bore a striking resemblance to Jing Chen, next to Mu Lin, Ouyang Bo inquired, "This must be your husband, right? Not bad." His eyes showed admiration, "Although I wasn’t present at your wedding, other disciples sent me photos." He had thought then that the couple was a perfect match.

The only person worthy of his excellent niece could indeed only be the esteemed Mr. Jing of B City. However, the person before him looked a bit different from the one in the photos; he seemed even more approachable.

He couldn’t help but chuckle... But just now he really had been short-sighted, not recognizing Mu Lin at first glance, ashamed to be called her uncle!

However, hearing Ouyang Bo’s words, Jing Tian really wanted to cry but had no tears; should he admit it? Yet, Mu Lin didn’t seem to mind too much, accepting the compliment without hesitation; after all, it was her man being praised.

Afterward, Mu Lin discussed the situation in F Country with Ouyang Bo, as well as matters regarding the epidemic.

It seems that the situation within F Country hasn’t spread outside, and this epidemic began about half a month ago. Initially, it was thought to be just common allergies or even dermatitis, until the wounds severely festered, followed by death. That’s when people started to realize the terror of this epidemic and the seriousness of the situation.

In the beginning, it was only happening in a few small villages, then gradually, larger cities and towns also began to see cases, with no way to quarantine.

They still haven’t found the source of it all and can only watch helplessly as more and more people die.

Ouyang Bo took over here about twenty days ago. With so much time having passed, he has been watching this town slowly decline to its current state, powerless to do anything.

The only thing he can do now is to identify the source of the epidemic and then resolve it. Even if he can’t resolve it, he must at least alleviate their suffering.

The arrival of Mu Lin gave Ouyang Bo quite a bit of confidence; after all, there is inevitably a lack of communication between Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine.

Afterward, Mu Lin and Jing Tian changed into the white coats available at the base, put on masks, and went downstairs to help. Mu Lin had to go down to see for herself, as seeing is believing. As for Jing Tian, who had no medical skill, he could only give a hand— with physical tasks, that is.

And so, from the moment he set off, Jing Tian has been rather duped.

"How is it?" Following by Mu Lin’s side, Ouyang Bo looked at her anxiously, hoping she could discern what he couldn’t.

With her dark phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, Mu Lin withdrew her hand. Having palpated the pulses along the way, she specifically chose a few serious cases, some moderate ones, and a few who had just contracted the epidemic. Mu Lin came to a conclusion, "This epidemic is not a normal one."

"What is it then?" Ouyang Bo asked, somewhat urgently.

Mu Lin said in a grave tone, "They have been poisoned."

"Poisoned!" How could that be? Incredulously looking at Mu Lin, he listened as she continued, "Though it’s poisoning, the poison can’t be considered pure. Something else must have been added to it, and there are many types." Most importantly, "I’m very familiar with the poison here."

If she wasn’t mistaken, it was likely one of the poisons she had once developed. However, she wasn’t entirely clear on the specifics and needed to reflect carefully to recall.

But one thing was certain, it absolutely involved Mi Zheng and the Sky Net Organization! It looked like they really did intentionally lure her and Jing Chen out, suggesting they were about to make a move.

Mu Lin’s icy gaze was cool.

"It’s them, right?" The moment Mu Lin mentioned the poison was familiar, Jing Tian also understood.

All of this was simply a conspiracy by some people; to achieve their own ends, they stop at nothing, not caring about human lives in the slightest.

Such people have no right to sit in that seat of power.

"Yes." Mu Lin nodded and then turned to the shocked Ouyang Bo, "Uncle Master Ouyang, I will work with you on this research." Since it was related to something of hers, she was the best person to conduct the research. Mu Lin stated that her least favorite thing was having her own face slapped, especially with her own creation.

"That would be truly wonderful." Ouyang Bo didn’t know who Jing Tian was referring to by "them," but he knew that perhaps with Mu Lin’s arrival, they really could develop an antidote for this epidemic.

Poisoned!

Who on earth is so vicious as to treat so many people’s lives like a joke? This is what truly enraged Ouyang Bo.

His gaze softened slightly as he looked at Mu Lin. Indeed, Miss Lin had come with a mission this time! As for what mission, it wasn’t his place to pry.

But to burden such young individuals was truly difficult for them.

Ouyang Bo felt that what Mu Lin and their group were doing was essentially risking their lives for their work, and even if they were disappointed in the end, it seemed unlikely anyone would remember them.

Such is the life of a soldier.

Your name remains unknown, yet your deeds—eternal!
