Joe converted his space hovercar into a space shuttle, benefiting from the exclusive usage of a tinum road to beam himself to Spring Ivy Hospital.
What are the results now? He put on the full set ofb dress and a mask whilst entering the door.
Dr Lin looked helpless, seemingly wanting to say something, yet diplomatic enough not to.
It ended up being Yan Suizhi who turned to check the clock on the wall, saying to Joe, It hasnt been half an hour since the call. Even an apple cant be digested within this time.
Lin Yuan nodded along, exining to Joe, Since the root cause of the illness has been identified, itll be much easier to find a solution. But its hard to say how long itll take. By conservative estimate, it could take a year and a half, so just prepare yourself for the wait.
And by optimistic estimate? Joe asked.
A little under half a month, Lin Yuan said.
That long? questioned Joe.
His fingers were still struggling with the mask. Perhaps because his attention was focused on the apparatus and the conversation, he had a lot of difficulty putting on that mask, some slots just refusing to click into ce.
Based on past experience, itll take roughly that long. Lin Yuan understood his anxiety, so supplemented the exnation with a few more sentences about the process and itsplexities.
The more Joe listened to it, the more his head hurt, but he showed not a hint of impatience on the surface.
He did his best to absorb the technical terms. Though his face turned green, his expression was extremely earnest.
Having not slept well, Lin Yuan averted his gaze from the disy of the machine, took off his observation sses, and massaged his eyelids, saying, Its an unavoidable process. Ive already called all the trustworthy researchers in the institute toe back on duty to make preparations for the long battle ahead.
Actually, whether it was a year and a half or half a month, it actually wasnt too much for Joe to ept.
He eyed the massive dark eye circles and the near-stationary analyser, saying, If by long battle you mean sleepless nights, then you dont have to. I can wait. Ive already waited longer than this. If Ke Jin can express himself, hell surely think so too. Above that, Im more afraid of you doctors dying from overwork.
Lin Yuan was conflicted betweenughter and tears. It wont be that bad. Im here as a doctor to save lives, not to be buried with them. Besides, which one of you has gotten more sleep than me? Your dark eye bags are hanging down to your shoulder des; do you have any grounds to talk about me? And you two as well
Seeing that the battle fire was about to turn over, Gu Yan interjected, Pardon, but ours arent as obvious as yours.
After shooting back, he exined to Joe, We were discussing this before you arrived. It isnt only because of Ke Jin that Dr Lin is in a hurry.
Joe nked, his brain failing to process his words due to hisck of sleep.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, Yes, this isnt only about Lawyer Ke.
He pointed at Gu Yan, The victims of the Elderly Bobblehead case are in the same boat as Lawyer Ke. Some of them are doing terribly now. Im not sure if youve seen the news?
Joe, Ah, right. You mentioned that over thems. Some of them are in critical condition, right?
Lin Yuan nodded. Yeah. Multiple organ failure.

They could oftenst for a few days, waiting amidst excruciating pain, as if holding on for just a bit longer could bring them hope of recovery.
But bit by bit, hope always died out. They could acutely feel vitality seeping from them, and would be acutely aware that they were due to depart from this world, parting from those whom they couldnt bear to leave.
Some struggled. Others howled.
Yet that silly little brother of his, who had yet to grow into his years, smiled at him and said, Ge, when I get better, Ill buy you a bted birthday gift.
However, he never did get better, and the birthday gift never came
Lin Yuan wiped his fingers over the machine, as though cleaning it. In the past, when facing a simr sudden onset of multiple organ failure, I was limited in what I could do. I had the will and yet I was powerless.
His downcasted eyes gently blinked twice. After a moments silence, he said, Now, all necessary conditions are in ce. Theres no reason not to go full steam ahead. If I can find the solution a day quicker, or even by an hour, those people will have a better chance of surviving. I dont want them to endure the pain only for it toe to nothing.
Joe looked at him for a while, then immediately after, he dialled Eunice.
A few secondster, a document was sent over.
I know that research instruments at this level will have ess restrictions for individual researchers or teams, Joe said.
It was implemented to safeguard the confidentiality of different research projects.
Researchers only had ess to the instrument within the scope of their project, but didnt have ess to the progress and test data information of other projects on the instrument.
Lin Yuan started. Yeah. Each of the four lead researchers has ess to a portion. Me, Curly Hair right, thats Jack White, the old Professor Xu, and Professor Stephen each have about 25% I think, with slight variations depending on the project.
Joe pped the document in his hand. I was only supposed to pass this to you tomorrow. After all, with how big Spring Ivys medical system is, theres a procedure to be followed for all that jazz. But your words earlier made me feel that wasting even one second is a crime.
Lin Yuan fixed his eyes on it.
In his hand was a letter of authorisation granting him and his team 100% ess to the instrument.
This wasnt any simple affair. He needed to have sufficient grounds to file a request, then turn the decision to grant or deny it to the Spring Ivy Hospitals board of directors.
But now, all of those procedures were no longer relevant. Because of two signatures signed with a flourish at the end of the document:Eunice Yves,Devore Yves.
Joe ejected a holographic pen and, taking Lin Yuans hand, turned the document towards himself, signing a third one beneath those two names:Joe Yves.
Lin Yuan froze for a beat. Then he dropped the virtual file into the machines permission scan port.
The screen that had remained stationary for a long time rolled out three lines in quick session.
Signature 1:Verification passed.
Signature 2:Verification passed.
Signature 3:Verification passed.
Permissions have been changed to 100%.
Joe kept the holographic pen and said to Lin Yuan, There, use it as you wish. Nothing is forbidden. But dont let anyone else see this. After all, to the outside world, Old Fomy father and I are still at odds. Thats what we have to make the Mansons believe, at least.
What does Mr Yves have nned? Yan Suizhi said.
Joe clutched a tuft of blonde hair. Dean Yan, how do you know that my dad already has ns in ce?
Yan Suizhi smiled. Maintaining the family feud divides your family into twoMs Eunice and Mr Yves forming one side, representing Spring Ivy, whereas you stand alone on the other side. If both sides have reconciled, all three of you will represent Spring Ivy. By appearing at odds, one side can maintain the status quo, whereas the other side is free to get things done.
In his head, Young Master Joe saidWhy do you seem more like Old Foxs legitimate son than me?
But he only grumbled these words in the depths of his stomach. Did he dare spit it out for the dean to hear?
Course not.
My dad is trying something, Joe said. Didnt he let you take a look at what he had uncovered over the years so that you canb through it from awyers point of view? Back then, you guys said that theres still some evidence missing.
Gu Yan, Mn. Werecking direct evidence linking the Manson brothers to the problematic gene surgeries. Other than that, with regards to those influential families and the Manson brotherslets call it coboration
Coboration, my ass, Joe said. Collusion is more like it.
We are still missing conclusive witness testimonies and evidence. Gu Yan finished his sentence.
Youre just missing these two links? Lin Yuan was astonished.
Only? Joe shook his head. Thats what it sounds like, but its more than that. For example, the link between the problematic gene surgeries and the Manson brothers. Theres so much scattered information that you can guess who did it even if you used your toes to think. But is that useful? Nope. The courthouse doesnt permit people to be convicted on guesswork. Everything begins from the presumption of innocence.
With his arms folded, Yan Suizhi leaned against the edge of an emptyb table, listening to him speak.
Joepletelycked any awareness that hed reverted to his behaviour during the elective. He subconsciously elbowed Gu Yan. Did I get it right?
Gu Yan,
As for the Mansons collusion with other influential families Joe broke it down for Lin Yuan again. Which families and who were involved in this nasty stuff, whether it was willingly or forced, how deep their involvement is, how much they know; all that is pretty important. We have to go to the root of the problem and dig up everything else with it. I dont want new tricks cropping up in the future. But you cant just get them to fess up. Also, if we really bring it to court, all that material evidence, written evidence, circumstantial evidence, direct evidence, and whatnot they vary in strength of evidence in legal proof. Its pretty delicate stuff. Right?
As he went on and on, he wanted to elbow Gu Yan to check if he got it right again, but his elbow jabbed empty space.
And so he saw that Lawyer Gu, who was initially standing next to him, had wordlessly moved next to a certain dean, with a paralysed expression, likewise watching him while leaning against the table edge with his arms folded.
Joe wanted to use him of putting hoes over bros, but when the words reached his tongue and he considered who the hoes referred to, he hastily swallowed them back down.
So what does Mr Yves think?
Dad ns to get in from the middle, to get the Manson brothers to have a small spat with their partners, and the easiest target for that is Cliff. Hes been unhappy with old money like ours for a long time; he puts on a smiling front, but who knows what he thinks on the inside, Joe said, but seeming to think of something, showed a bit of hesitance.
Yan Suizhi carefully studied his expression, smiled, and said, You seem to have other ideas?
Did you read my mind? Joe was stunned.
As luck would have it, Im not blind.
Joe said tentatively, Its not really that I have other ideas, I just think this method is a bit slow. Old Fox has the patience to set traps for years, but I dont. So Ive been wondering if theres a more direct approach.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Suizhi incline his head to whisper a question in Gu Yans ear.
Gu Yan tilted his head marginally, listening with loweredshes to his question, then nodded and whispered back in Yan Suizhis ear.
Joe, Dean Yan, are you two discussing how many points to award me?
Yan Suizhi straightened his body. Nothing of the sort. I was only worried that I had misremembered a few details, so wanted to rify them before saying anything. For a more direct approach, I do have a suggestion.
What is it?
I suggest that you make a trip to Tian Qins detention centre, said Yan Suizhi.
Joe, ??? Did I do something wrong?
Then, he registered it, suddenly recalling who was in Tian Qins detention centre.
Joe, Dean Yan, do you mean Zhao Zemu?
Yan Suizhi nodded.
Joe, But
If I havent misremembered some details from before, and Yan Suizhi pointed at Gu Yan with his chin, saying to Joe, If this best friend of yours hasnt as well, then Mr Zhao could be a breakthrough point.
