Chapter 559 You Are Just Kidding
In the small and cramped dormitory of Nancheng District Prison, the oppressive atmosphere is like an invisible net, tightly covering every corner.
The lights were dim, casting mottled shadows in this limited space, adding a sense of dullness and solemnity.
Mu Xiaoji seemed oblivious to the complex emotions emanating from the two wardens beside him. He straightened his back and looked calm.
He broke the silence with a deep, deep voice, full of undeniable power: "Can I make a phone call?"
The prison warden, Li Zhengguo, was originally pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and heavy steps. When he heard Mu Xiaoji's words, he suddenly stopped and his heels made a crisp "click" sound when they hit the ground.
He slowly turned around, staring at Mu Xiaoji with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Who are you going to call?"
Mu Xiaoji had a calm expression, his face as calm as water, and he said slowly: "The number of infected patients in the prison far exceeds the scale you described when you asked me for help.
Moreover, judging from the current infection trend, the virus is spreading extremely quickly, people are constantly being infected, and the situation is extremely serious.
After precise calculations, based on the current number of infected people, the serum we brought is far from enough to immunize one-third of the prison population.
From the perspective of virology and infectious disease prevention and control, this is an extremely dangerous signal.
So, I have to contact my friends and ask them to start the pharmaceutical production process as quickly as possible and deliver enough medicines as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the epidemic gets out of control, you two will really be in big trouble!"
"You..." Li Zhengguo and Lei Tingfeng were choked by Mu Xiaoji's straightforward and sharp words. Their faces turned pale and blue. They were so angry that they were speechless and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Li Zhengguo quickly looked at Lei Tingfeng, his eyes full of displeasure and helplessness, and said in a stiff tone: "Give his phone back to him."
Lei Tingfeng was filled with rage. He walked up to Mu Xiaoji, took out his cell phone from his pocket, handed it to him, and said unhappily, "You better behave yourself, kid."
Mu Xiaoji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. He took the phone and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"I advise you two to cooperate with me honestly. Let's work together and pray that we can successfully suppress this epidemic.
After all, this concerns the lives and health of everyone in prison. If the epidemic worsens, the consequences will be disastrous, and no one will be able to escape unscathed."
In this slightly tense atmosphere, Mu Xiaoji faced the current difficult situation with a calm expression and responded quickly with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then decisively searched through the phone's address book. His slender fingers slid across the screen, finally stopping at Karina's number, and dialed it without hesitation.
At this moment, in Winston Manor far away in the United States, Karina's bedroom was filled with a faint scent of lavender.
In the spacious and luxurious room, the sound of running water came from the bathroom on one side, as if playing a soothing melody.
On the coffee table, a cell phone suddenly rang loudly. The crisp ringtone instantly broke the monotonous sound of running water in the bathroom and echoed throughout the room.
Soon, the bathroom door slowly opened, and Karina came out wrapped in a snow-white bath towel.
Her wet long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and water droplets slowly slid down her hair, leaving crystal traces on her skin as white as mutton-fat jade.
Seeing the cell phone flashing on the coffee table, she frowned slightly, then walked to the sofa with elegant steps and sat down gently.
When she saw that the caller ID was "Mu", a gentle smile instantly appeared on her slightly puzzled face.
While she applied the essence in her hand evenly on her face and gently massaged it for absorption, she stretched out her slender fingers and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, dear Mu," Karina asked in a voice as sweet and melodious as a nightingale, "How is your work going? Is it going well?"
Mu Xiaoji raised his head slightly, a bright smile on his face. Although he was extremely anxious, he tried to make his tone sound more relaxed:
"Oh no, no, no, dear, it's far worse than we imagined." He paused for a moment, then asked, "Dear, are you home yet?"
"Just got here," Karina responded cheerfully, running her hands through her damp hair. "I just took a shower and was just about to relax."
Mu Xiaoji's expression instantly became serious, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said with deep apology:
"I'm sorry, dear. I thought you could have a good rest after your long journey.
Uh... I'm so sorry, dear, we are in big trouble. The situation in the prison is extremely serious, and the number of infected people has far exceeded our previous estimates.
And the infection is still spreading, with new infections coming in continuously. So, I need your help.
I will send you the detailed data of the serum drug right away. Please arrange for the pharmaceutical factory to produce it immediately and send it to me as quickly as possible."
Karina's originally relaxed and happy mood was instantly wiped out. Her expression became extremely nervous, and a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Is it so serious? This is not a trivial matter!"
"Yes, the situation is extremely urgent. I'm sorry to trouble you again." Mu Xiaoji said earnestly, his tone full of guilt.
Karina knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to slack off. She immediately responded:
"Dear Mu, don't say that. We are partners and we should help each other at times like this.
I will immediately notify the pharmaceutical factory and ask them to expedite the work. If you have any new developments, please keep in touch."
"Okay, I'll send you the data right away." Mu Xiaoji said, and then the two hung up the phone after a brief conversation.
Mu Xiaoji quickly opened his mobile phone and skillfully found the serum medicine data file that had been prepared long ago. After carefully checking it, he sent it to Karina without hesitation.
At this moment, his eyes revealed a hint of expectation, hoping that Karina could complete the preparation and delivery of the medicine smoothly and quickly to solve the current urgent problem.
The busy night was like a long and fierce battle, which exhausted the energy of Mu Xiaoji and the two prison wardens.
The sky was just getting light, and the morning light shone through the cracks in the window, gently falling on their tired bodies.
Mu Xiaoji was leaning against a chair, one hand weakly supporting his forehead, as if he was trying to support his head which might droop at any moment due to sleepiness. He had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Lei Tingfeng lay on the table, his hands under his cheeks, his brows furrowed, as if he was still troubled by the problem even in his sleep;
Li Zhengguo was half lying on the sofa, also holding his forehead, with his mouth slightly open, and his even breathing carried a hint of relaxation after fatigue.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door sounded like thunder in the quiet room, instantly waking up the three people sleeping in the house.
Mu Xiaoji's hand, which was supporting his forehead, trembled slightly. He slowly raised his head, slapped his mouth subconsciously, yawned a long time, and then stretched his body to try to dispel the sleepiness in his body.
Lei Tingfeng rubbed his sleepy eyes irritably, mumbling incoherent complaints;
Li Zhengguo frowned, pinched his eyebrows, and responded tiredly: "Come in." His voice was particularly hoarse because he had just woken up.
The person outside the door heard the response, immediately opened the door, and walked quickly towards the two wardens in a hurry.
His face was filled with panic, and he gasped for breath and said, "Oh no, warden!"
The man rushed into the room in a panic, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and his expression was terrified. "Suddenly, a large number of reporters arrived at the prison gate and surrounded it tightly.
They claimed that they heard that you, the warden, had done an extraordinary act of kindness by arranging comprehensive physical examinations for the prisoners, so they came here specially to publicize your great love.
Now they are outside clamoring to open the doors, saying they want to provide us with full live coverage of this compassionate situation."
Lei Tingfeng was already annoyed by being woken up, and when he heard the news, he suddenly felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.
He stood up suddenly and rushed to Mu Xiaoji in a few steps, his eyes wide open, like an angry lion, and stretched out his finger, almost poking Mu Xiaoji's face.
He roared at the top of his lungs, "Damn boy, is this your doing? What on earth do you want to do?"
Mu Xiaoji looked calm and composed, straightening his slightly wrinkled collar, and said slowly, "If you say so, then so be it.
From a professional perspective, emergency treatment for prisoners should follow the principles of openness and transparency.
Doing so will help you get free publicity for this humanitarian act.
Enhance the positive image of prisons in the minds of the general public and let the public see the efforts made by prisons in protecting the basic rights and interests of prisoners;
Secondly, it can also make our hospital's work public and show the society that Renxin Hospital not only has superb medical technology,
Able to cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, and always uphold the concept of benevolence of doctors,
Even when facing special groups with difficulties, we can treat them equally and give them the same opportunity to receive treatment."
Li Zhengguo, who was standing by, was so angry that his face turned pale when he heard this. He slammed the table with a loud bang, and everything on the table shook.
He glared and shouted, "You are just fooling around! Have you ever thought about this?
If it is handled improperly and causes unnecessary panic to society, can you bear the responsibility?
The prison is full of prisoners, and the situation is already complicated and sensitive. If a prison riot is triggered by the intervention of journalists,
The consequences would be disastrous! Have you ever seriously considered these serious consequences?"
Li Zhengguo was so angry that his whole body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was extremely angry and worried about Mu Xiaoji's behavior.
