Chapter 553 On pins and needles
The negative pressure monitoring ambulance of Renxin Hospital, which is specially equipped for medical consultations, is driving steadily on the highway, making a low humming sound.
The eye-catching logo painted on the vehicle body is particularly conspicuous in the sunlight. This time, it embarked on its journey to Kuncheng Prison with the important mission of carrying out emergency virus relief operations.
Behind the ambulance, Cheng Jianpeng, Liang Boyu and Tian Dayong were driving a medical vehicle.
Inside the car, basic physical examination and testing equipment is neatly arranged, including sophisticated biochemical analyzers, advanced blood cell counters, etc. Each device is related to the success or failure of subsequent rescue work.
Mu Xiaoji's car was right in front, and the photographer Tao Ge looked relaxed as he drove the Land Rover Range Rover steadily.
Yao Xinyue leaned back in the passenger seat, eyes closed, resting. Mu Xiaoji and Ke Laiweiler sat in the back seat, the car silent and still, their eyes closed as they too rested.
But Mu Xiaoji's thoughts had already drifted back to the tense and orderly preparatory meeting before departure.
In the spacious and bright conference room, Coleman, dressed in a neat suit, sat next to Mu Xiaoji.
He folded his hands, looked around the room, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "This time we are going to the prison to carry out treatment work, and the potential risks are diverse.
After in-depth discussions between Mr. Mu and I, we decided to carefully select three people from the external team.
This operation was led personally by General Mu and me. Since the situation inside the prison was still unclear, we needed to fully and systematically understand the situation after arriving at the scene and then make corresponding adjustments flexibly.
President Mu has already drawn up a preliminary plan, planning to coordinate with the prison and mobilize professional medical personnel from Kuncheng Central Hospital and the First People's Hospital, so that all parties can work together and coordinate to jointly respond to this crisis."
Mu Xiaoji nodded slightly and took over the conversation: "Everyone, there is no need to be overly nervous. The virus that appeared in the prison this time is very likely to be of the same type as the virus I was infected with before.
We have successfully obtained detoxification data. As long as we respond appropriately, we believe we can quickly control the epidemic, successfully complete the treatment mission, and return to City G as soon as possible."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoji turned his gaze to Kelaiweiler and continued, "Before today's meeting, I contacted two friends. They should be here by now, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door of the conference room. Coleman quickly stood up, strode to the door and opened it.
There was a capable lady standing next to Cui Jiani, and behind her was a muscular young man carrying a professional HD camera.
Kelaiweiler quickly made a gesture to invite them in. After the three of them entered the conference room, Mu Xiaoji smiled faintly and extended his hand to shake hands with them.
"Reporter Yao, thank you for coming all this way. Come, let me introduce you to everyone.
This is our G City's famous senior reporter Yao Xinyue, and her partner..."
Mu Xiaoji was speechless for a moment. Seeing this, Yao Xinyue smiled and added, "My partner Tao Ge."
Mu Xiaoji said apologetically, "I've specially invited you two here today because we have a rather risky mission. I'd like you to join us in facing this challenge."
Yao Xinyue's eyes flashed with excitement, and she asked with interest, "Oh? If even President Mu thinks it's risky, then it must be exciting. Maybe it's explosive news."
Mu Xiaoji, however, poured cold water on him: "To be honest, following me is often not very reliable. The danger far outweighs the luck."
Yao Xinyue was full of confidence and said firmly, "I, Yao Xinyue, love challenges. Without excitement and risk, I find it boring."
Mu Xiaoji gestured for someone to sit down and continued, "The destination of this operation is the prison directly under the Kuncheng South District Discipline and Supervision System.
There's been a sudden viral infection incident inside the prison. Based on my personal analysis and judgment, I initially suspect someone is using inmates to conduct live virus experiments..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xinyue's eyes widened in surprise and she interrupted Mu Xiaoji: "Living experiments? What era is this? How can such a thing still exist?"
Mu Xiaoji quickly waved his hand to stop the criticism and said, "Don't jump to conclusions yet. This is just my preliminary inference based on the existing clues. There is no solid evidence.
We must not fabricate or distort facts. We must wait until we take over the treatment work and conduct scientific investigation and analysis before making an accurate judgment."
Mu Xiaoji picked up the thermos cup beside him, took a sip of water, and arranged in an orderly manner: "Doctor Cheng Jianpeng, Doctor Liang Boyu, Doctor Tian Dayong, the three of you will form a five-person rescue team with me and Ke Laiweiler.
Considering the complex prison environment and ever-changing circumstances, I have specially invited two journalist friends to accompany me and provide coverage, leveraging the power of the media to build a strong line of defense for our personal safety."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xinyue's eyes flashed with cunning, and a teasing smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. She jokingly said, "Oh? Mr. Mu is using us as both a gun and a shield!
He's so scheming! Back when I was in Xiaoyang Village, I had already experienced Mr. Mu's 'strategy'.
I didn't expect that the same old trick would work again." She crossed her arms, her voice rising, her words full of teasing.
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, instead of getting angry, he remained calm and composed. With a bit of provocation in his eyes, he retorted:
"Since Reporter Yao has figured out the trick, do you still want to continue this cooperation? You know,
Countless media professionals wanted to participate in this operation, but many, despite desperately trying, never got the chance. He casually folded his hands over his chest, looking confident he had the other person in his corner.
Yao Xinyue didn't care about the sarcastic remarks in Mu Xiaoji's words at all, and smiled playfully like a shrewd little fox:
"Yes! I've come all this way, how can I let this precious piece of cake go to someone else? It would be a shame to miss out on such a valuable news tip."
There was a glint of excitement in her eyes, as if she had already seen the birth of a hit report.
Mu Xiaoji smiled slyly, very satisfied with Yao Xinyue's response. He nodded and began to plan the next move:
"This is the basic situation. Doctor Cheng, Doctor Liang, Doctor Tian, the three of you go back and make preparations as soon as possible.
All kinds of testing reagents and protective equipment have been prepared according to the highest standards to ensure that everything is safe and reliable. Let's set off as soon as possible."
When they heard their names being called, doctors Cheng Jianpeng, Liang Boyu and Tian Dayong stood up quickly in unison.
Cheng Jianpeng casually put the pen cap back on and put it into his notebook. He looked at me with a sharp gaze and said seriously:
"Don't worry, Mr. Mu. I will check the virus detection reagents and portable diagnostic equipment to ensure that the equipment is operating normally."
Liang Boyu patted his chest and said firmly, "I'll go prepare emergency medicines right away. I'll bring enough commonly used antiviral drugs and emergency treatment drugs."
Tian Dayong said with a serious face, "I will carefully check the protective equipment to ensure that everyone is properly protected."
After the three of them finished speaking, they turned around and strode out of the meeting room with firm steps and a sense of mission.
Tao Ge was driving a Land Rover Range Rover, and the car was like a silver cheetah, speeding on the highway.
Thanks to Tao Ge's superb driving skills, even though the car was driving at a very fast speed, the interior of the car was extremely stable, with only a slight sound of wind whistling past the window.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely solemn, and everyone's mind was occupied by the Kuncheng Prison that they were about to arrive at.
Outside the car window, fields, mountains, and trees flew past like lightning. The colorful scenery looked like a faded painting, lifeless in everyone's eyes.
Everyone's hearts and eyes were filled with the unknown risks and difficulties in prison, and feelings of uneasiness and confusion quietly spread in the carriage.
Mu Xiaoji tried to remain calm and break the oppressive atmosphere. He asked softly, "Where are we now?"
Tao Ge held the steering wheel firmly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the front, and responded in a deep and rich voice:
"Another ten kilometers and we'll be in downtown Kuncheng. According to the current road conditions, we estimate we'll reach the prison in twenty minutes."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Yao Xinyue slowly opened her eyes. Out of her journalistic instinct, she keenly captured the key information.
I couldn't wait to ask the question in my mind: "Mr. Mu, I have always been curious about how you determined that the incident in the prison was a virus infection.
"You even suspect someone is conducting live experiments? Have you gathered any evidence behind this? Clear, conclusive evidence?"
Mu Xiaoji usually keeps a low profile and thought this was an opportunity to reach a tacit understanding of cooperation with Yao Xinyue, so he offered the following exchange conditions:
"Reporter Yao, this prison trip is full of uncertainties and the environment is complex and dangerous. If you can use the influence of the media to ensure the safety of our group,
When the operation is over, I will give you an exclusive interview and answer all your questions without reservation. How about that? "
Upon hearing this, Yao Xinyue was so excited that she almost jumped out of her seat, with excitement shining in her eyes.
She has been following Mu Xiaoji for a long time and has been rejected many times for an interview. She did not expect to get the opportunity this time.
"Really? Mr. Mu! I've contacted you many times before, but you've always been low-key and kept me at arm's length. Don't go back on your word this time!"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and nodded, solemnly promising: "It's a deal. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly and we can jointly face the upcoming challenges."
Amid the roar of the car engine, they continued to move towards Kuncheng Prison, where an unknown fate was waiting for them to uncover.
The Kuncheng South District Discipline and Supervision System is directly under the prison. In this building, which symbolizes order and punishment, the warden's office is spacious and solemnly decorated.
Documents are neatly arranged on the solid wooden desk, and eye-catching rules and regulations are hung on the wall.
Warden Li Zhengguo, in uniform, sat behind a large desk, holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand. He blew away the cool air gently and took a sip of tea.
With a frown on his face and a hint of anger and anxiety in his tone, he asked, "Where is the doctor we contacted now? Don't they understand that saving lives is like putting out a fire, and every second matters?"
Deputy Warden Lei Tingfeng sat on the leather sofa nearby, looking anxious and on pins and needles.
He glanced at his watch from time to time and responded, "Superintendent Li, I just spoke to President Mu again. They are currently on their way and are expected to arrive at the prison in another twenty minutes."
Li Zhengguo put down his teacup, his eyes like torches, and scanned the department leaders standing before him. His voice was loud and majestic:
"Don't just stand there! Now is not the time to do nothing. Everyone has their own responsibilities.
Being around me here won't solve any practical problems, it will just waste your precious time!"
Everyone stood at attention and responded in unison: "Yes, Warden! We will go out and arrange the work."
After saying that, they didn't dare to delay for even a second. They turned around quickly as if they had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly left the warden's office with quick steps.
