Chapter 236 The Doctor’s Eyes

Medical room.

The door was closed tightly. Shu Yi was lying on the hospital bed. Her face was still pale and her lips were slightly purple. Although she was awake, she still looked very tired and listless.

Zhao Mingtao guessed that she was probably very tired. Too many things had happened in the past few days, and Shu Yi had experienced an all-round blow.

She lost her original status as a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, her infidelity became known to everyone, and she had to go on a show to face her ex-husband. She was repeatedly injured on the show and even almost died in the sea. Anyone would not be able to bear it. Even if she chose to commit suicide after social death, it was completely reasonable.

However, even so, there was still a gleam in Shu Yi’s eyes.

Regardless of what kind of person this person is, Zhao Mingtao really admires her tenacity. Shu Yi is like an indestructible cockroach. No matter how devastating the blow is, she can keep her mind steady and grab the opportunity to climb up.

“Long story short.”

Zhao Mingtao paused, avoiding her gaze, and said calmly:

“I came to see you not for any other reason, but simply because they were about to start a fight, and I used this as an excuse to hide away.”

“But on the way here just now, I met PD who came to find a doctor. He said that others were arguing loudly at the bar in the cabin. Someone said that Lu Siyuan had that infectious disease. Lu Siyuan was anxious and asked the doctor to come over for a check-up.”

“This matter could be big or small, but I have to go back and confirm the situation.”

“So I was only in there for two minutes and then I left and went to the bar with them, and that was it.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

Shu Yi originally wanted to ask directly about Ren Tuo, but now, after hearing Zhao Mingtao’s words, she carefully observed his expression and found that there was some suppressed anxiety on Zhao Mingtao’s face.

Her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little heavy.

Lu Siyuan has disease X, what is Zhao Mingtao worried about?
Are they worried that Lu Siyuan’s incident will affect public opinion and reputation? Don’t be ridiculous, what kind of reputation does Lu Siyuan have now!

If it was after the first episode, it would be fine. At that time, Han Fei was the only one who spoke without any evidence. It was not like someone else said that you were throwing dirty water on me and suppressing me, and the matter was settled.

But in the second episode, which is the desert island survival, Lu Siyuan was repeatedly beaten and tortured in front of the camera. Even though he was not photographed many times, he beat people, was beaten, and even kicked Qi Qingyi. He was also isolated by everyone else. Even Shu Yi, a female star who has been embroiled in scandals since her day off, is not as unpopular as him.

Now he is suspected of contracting disease X.

Things have come to this, and Zhao Mingtao still cares about his reputation?

Zhao Mingtao had already started to keep himself out of danger to avoid blood splattering on himself!
So, it is very intriguing why he is so anxious now.

Shu Yi stared at Zhao Mingtao and asked word by word:

“His public opinion is already ruined. If he doesn’t operate properly after he gets out, it’s possible that such a bad artist will be soft-banned or even completely banned.”

“You’re so worried, isn’t it because you might be infected by him?”

Zhao Mingtao touched his nose and moved his body uncomfortably:

“Don’t say such things. Avoid prophecies, understand? Say less unlucky things. Sometimes, if you say them too much, they can easily come true.”

After being put like this, is there anything Shu Yi doesn’t understand?
She almost laughed out of anger.

He was avoiding the question now, but in fact his words were tacitly acknowledging the existence of this possibility.

Shu Yi knew that she had done something that violated her moral bottom line, but apart from Xu Qingan and Zhao Mingtao, she had never had sex with anyone else. She could say it was to preserve her values ​​or to protect her reputation, but in short, she had never had sex with anyone else.

It is true that Xu Qing’an is a young master. However, even though this young master has many faults, in her opinion, he is extremely a mama’s boy, cowardly and useless, and has no ability to support his wife. But there is one good thing that is real – he doesn’t go out and mess around!
Because of this, Shu Yi has always maintained very good health in some aspects, without any gynecological diseases, and it is completely impossible for her to have internal diseases. As for how she was sure that Xu Qing’an was not having an affair… She had a physical examination twice a year, which could confirm this fact.

Even if Xu Qing’an had looked for Kokoda and had cheated on her without being discovered, that was because he was capable and paid attention to safety issues. No matter what, the fact is that Xu Qing’an did not bring the disease to her.

But I was confused just once.

Just that one time, with Zhao Mingtao…she met someone who might be sick?
How unfair God is!

Shu Yi gritted her teeth. Her voice, hoarse from drowning, sounded even more hoarse and terrifying at this moment. There was a faint echo in the extremely airtight room, and it echoed in Zhao Mingtao’s ears like the whisper of an evil spirit:

“I only want to ask you one thing, Zhao Mingtao.”

“What disease does he have? Is it serious? Is it… AIDS?”

Zhao Mingtao was stunned and waved his hands hurriedly:

“No, I don’t know what disease he has. I just heard about it from PD!”

“But, but…but it certainly can’t be that!”

“If it’s AIDS, how can you just tell from the appearance? It’s probably just some common syphilis, and this is completely uncertain. It hasn’t been diagnosed by a doctor yet, so it’s probably just a false alarm. Don’t talk nonsense!”

Zhao Mingtao realized that he seemed to be a little too exaggerated, so he stepped back, calmed himself, and spoke in a lower voice:
“Since you are worried, then don’t say too much now. Two minutes is already the limit. They are pushing very hard. I have to go find a doctor and go over there to take a look.”

“When I find out the result, I’ll find a chance to tell you.”

“I’ll take care of the doctor and try to get him to be honest with me. You have a good rest. I’m leaving now.”

After saying that, Zhao Mingtao didn’t wait for Shu Yi to speak. He turned around, opened the door and walked out.

While the door was open, the voices of medical staff drifted into the room, as if they were discussing whether to bring blood collection equipment, and if they really felt that there was something wrong with Lu Siyuan’s body, they would ask the rented plane to go back for examination as soon as they returned to the island. Then the nurse came in and rummaged through the boxes and found a blood collection needle, and took the box out.

Then the door closed, and Zhao Mingtao, medical staff and other workers left together.

Shu Yi was left alone in the medical room, and the room was completely silent.

She stared at the tightly closed door and slowly closed her eyes.

Forget it…

Originally, he wanted to find Zhao Mingtao to confirm Ren Tuo’s words and try to find out who that person was, but now, nothing is more important than his own life.

She has some common sense and has read popular science.

Even if it is just common venereal diseases, such as HPV, it is very difficult to treat. Except for the most terrible HIV, most of these diseases are milder in men under the same circumstances, while women are more susceptible, more obvious and more uncomfortable, and are more likely to develop in a bad direction.

However, if Lu Siyuan’s condition was so serious that others could easily tell that he had this disease…

She didn’t dare to think about it and could only wait.

…………

outside.

Although the yacht is luxurious, the space is limited after all. The aisles are narrow and only wide enough for two people to pass through.

So the crew led the way, and Zhao Mingtao, the doctor, the nurse and the PD walked in pairs.

Zhao Mingtao and the doctor were walking at the back. The three people in front were walking a little fast, and the doctor knew the situation was urgent, so he deliberately quickened his pace, but as he was walking, Zhao Mingtao suddenly pulled the hem of his white coat.

He turned back in confusion, but heard Zhao Mingtao lower his voice and say:

“Doctor, I have something I want to talk to you about in private. Can we walk a little slower?”

The doctor paused. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he nodded slightly, quietly slowed down his pace, and gradually put about five meters away from the three people in front.

Zhao Mingtao’s face was full of gratitude, and he said in a very low voice:

“Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much!”

“It’s like this. Actually, there was something in the cigarette box I just gave you.”

“There is a layer in the cigarette box. You can open it and take a look.”

The doctor frowned, took out the cigarette box that Zhao Mingtao had just given him from his pocket, and opened it as he walked.

After groping for a while, I found that the wooden cigarette box had been tampered with.

This thing looks like it has only two parts, but in fact, the thicker side is a hollow box. Just press the spring buckle with your fingernail and pry it upwards to remove the thin and tightly fitted wooden board from the box.

It was filled with gold bars shaped like rice cakes, and the quality was quite good. There were also inscriptions on them, but they were not clearly visible in the dim environment of the cabin corridor.

Seeing that the doctor had seen what was inside, Zhao Mingtao laughed softly:
“This is a small yellow croaker from a hundred years ago. I collected it and always keep it with me in my cigarette box in case of emergency.”

“The cigarette box, the cigarettes, and the contents of the box are all for you.”

The doctor calmly put the wooden board back, took out a cigarette, closed the cigarette box and put it back in Zhao Mingtao’s hand:

“No merit, no reward. I dare not accept such a valuable thing. A cigarette is good enough. You should take the rest back and keep it for yourself.”

Zhao Mingtao stuffed the cigarette box directly into his white coat pocket and said with a smile:
“Of course I’m giving this to you because I want something from you.”

“Time is short, so I won’t say those polite words. I’ll tell you the truth, doctor.”

“As for Lu Siyuan later, whether you can explain in front of the camera whether he is sick or not, and what disease he has, please tell me the truth after the examination.”

The doctor raised his voice a few notches, but the volume was still low:
“Oh?”

“I don’t know why you’re doing this, but sir, it’s totally unnecessary. Diagnosis is my job. If you want to know the results, I’ll tell you what I can, but I can’t say anything when it comes to patient privacy.”

“If you insist on giving me something like this, I can only hand it over to the production crew later and ask them to keep it for you and return it to you after the recording is over.”

After saying that, the doctor stood still, took out the cigarette box from his pocket and placed it between the two of them, looking very determined.

Zhao Mingtao didn’t get angry even though he was turned down.

He took the cigarette case back in his hand with good temper, played with it for a while, and said:
“Doctor, have you ever studied abroad or worked overseas before?”

“To be honest, in this environment, although most doctors I meet don’t dare to accept red envelopes, most of them will not refuse such a covert and sincere one. I am really surprised by your style. It’s not like you.”

The doctor withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket and continued walking forward:

“I have never studied abroad. I don’t even have time to go abroad. I am busy studying and seeing doctors. When I have free time, I am sent abroad like this. But as far as I know, the situation you described is actually very rare. I don’t know where the doctors you met are from. Anyway, my colleagues who are familiar with me, if they have a little bit of ability, will never accept these things.”

“It’s not easy for a doctor to get to this age and have this level of experience safely. If one makes a mistake and is framed and reported, all the hard work of studying and working for decades will go down the drain. Those who are not driven to panic by life would rather live a stable life.”

I have never studied abroad, and I have never even left the country…

Zhao Mingtao was still smiling, showing no sign of being angry. He just nodded, took out a windproof lighter from his pocket, and pointed at the cigarette in the doctor’s hand that he had taken out of the cigarette box.

“It seems that I have been too narrow-minded. Sorry, sorry.”

“Doctor, let me light a cigarette for you to make amends. Alas, I was just too anxious and that’s why I did this stupid thing. Please forgive me!”

The doctor waved his hand, put the cigarette in his chest pocket which was filled with pens, and continued walking forward without turning his head:

“I still have to meet with the guests for an examination later. What’s the big deal about smelling like cigarettes? Wait until you’re done with your work before smoking. If you’re free, I’ll ask you to go to the deck with me to smoke.”

Zhao Mingtao took back the lighter with regret and shrugged indifferently:

“Okay, this tobacco was given to me by my friend. It’s pretty good. It tastes different from ordinary cigarettes and is strong. I like it very much. But I can’t smoke in front of the camera. If you find a chance, you must bring me along.”

The doctor hummed and didn’t want to continue chatting with him. He quickened his pace again and caught up with the three colleagues in front.

When Zhao Mingtao couldn’t see him, the doctor calmly wiped the sweat from his palms on the corner of his clothes, and at the same time cursed Zhao Mingtao’s ancestors eight hundred times in his heart.

Damn, you are playing dirty tricks on me and you have to use so many tricks?
Fuck your grandma!

What the doctor told Zhao Mingtao was basically the truth, except for one thing, which was the most important thing and determined Zhao Mingtao’s thinking.

Not only has he been abroad, but he also studied abroad from undergraduate to doctoral degree.

There are some things that ordinary people in China rarely see, and they don’t have much awareness of preventing them, but it’s different for Liuzi.

It’s like when there is a loud bang from the blue sky, in China, everyone will just be shocked and say “Oh shit, someone’s truck tire burst” or “Who’s idiot is setting off firecrackers at this time”; but in some places abroad, everyone will immediately flee in all directions after hearing it, or squat on the spot with their hands on their heads and dare not move.

The same goes for this cigarette.

The doctor has basically understood what was put inside and also knows why Zhao Mingtao did this.

The yellow croaker in the cigarette box was just a smokescreen. If he accepted and agreed to the request, Zhao Mingtao’s goal would be achieved, and there would be no need to continue with the rest.

But he didn’t agree, so the guy wanted to light a cigarette for him…

Either you want to coax him into agreeing when he’s feeling high from smoking, or you want to stuff him with two more cigarettes when he’s confused, hoping he’ll get addicted.

If it still doesn’t work, even if this thing may not be as addictive as others, as long as it is drawn, the blood test can detect it. By then, Zhao Mingtao will have this handle on him, and the doctor will have only two choices: agree or lose his job.

Or he could directly report that the thing belonged to Zhao Mingtao, and he had evidence. But Zhao Mingtao just threw away the cigarettes, leaving only a box of yellow croakers, and then he would say that the doctor framed him. How would this matter be resolved?

As for whether he would find the problem and put out the cigarette in time…

Those who have never smelled that smell will not be aware of it when they first come into contact with it and will just feel that it stinks.

This is why Zhao Mingtao had to ask the doctor whether he had ever studied abroad before lighting a cigarette.

It’s a draft, it’s very rigorous and well-organized!

The doctor cursed the idiot in his heart.

You’re treating everyone else like a fool, right? I’ll hand the cigarettes over to the program crew for testing, and I’ll kill you if I can’t!
