Chapter 597 Some are happy, some are sad (Please subscribe)
Zhang Limin's expression wasn't particularly annoyed, nor did his emotions fluctuate much: "Could it really be a coincidence?"

Xie Shulan clenched her hands meaningfully, her emotions steady: "I think the netizens in Professor Fang's live stream might be the ones with the problem."

"I just don't know why Professor Fang chose to do a live broadcast."

Xie Shulan had been insightful since childhood, and she understood very well that there were a great many people in this world who couldn't stand to see you doing well.

There are a few people who feel worse than if they saw you living a better life than they did.

Zhang Limin glanced at Xie Shulan and said, "Shulan, not every family can afford the long journey of exploration in the medical field."

"Even after graduating with a doctorate and starting work, the salary won't be very high. But at this age, the social pressure you face will be no less."

"Especially for guys, unless they meet a really great girl who's willing to wait for them and be with them, otherwise..."

"However, this visit to Professor Fang was not entirely fruitless."

Zhang Limin leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed: "If I hadn't visited you in person, I probably would never have believed that an orthopedic surgeon could have such expertise in gene sequencing!"

Xie Shulan participated in the entire conversation between Zhang Limin and Fang Ziye, and the two exchanged a wealth of valuable insights.

Even if Fang Ziye had anticipated Professor Zhang Limin's arrival and made preparations in advance, such a scholar's academic level is still worthy of respect.

Moreover, the fact that Xie Shulan knew his teacher hadn't informed him beforehand proves that this was due to Fang Ziye's own research background.

Xie Shulan smoothed her hair and said in a low voice, "Teacher, although I always say that China is full of talented people, is that really the case?"

Xie Shulan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Zhang Limin understood what the other person meant: "Shulan, do you feel discouraged?"

"It's not that I'm discouraged, it's just that my feelings have become a bit complicated for a while." Xie Shulan's resume is very impressive, and she has accumulated a wealth of experience.

Part of it was due to family reasons, and another part was her own exceptional talent.

Suddenly, she encountered someone with no family background who completely overwhelmed her and left her utterly bewildered in the very field she was most deeply involved in.

Anyone who experiences this feeling knows how exhilarating it is.

"Didn't you add Professor Fang as a friend?"

Zhang Limin smiled like an aunt: "You can get to know each other more in private!"

"It's not just about scientific research exchanges. I think that apart from his poor family background, Professor Fang is top-notch in every other aspect, including his knowledge, experience, speech, temperament, and appearance."

"If there is no discrimination in your family, you can have more contact with them in your daily life."

Xie Shulan was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at his teacher in surprise, and then pondered for a moment before saying frankly, "It's our first meeting, I don't know if he's two-faced, or if he's a man from a poor background who has achieved success."

……

In the clinical reception room of the sanatorium, after seeing off Professor Zhang and Xie Shulan, Fang Ziye's expression was slightly disappointed, and a hint of regret was floating on his face.

Beside him, Professor Dou Kaigong walked alongside Fang Ziye toward the laboratory: "Professor Fang, did Professor Zhang give you any trouble?"

Fang Ziye shook his head, his tone calm: "No, Professor Zhang also gave me some pointers."

Fang Ziye's answer conveyed a strange sense of defeat.

If the person who comes is arrogant and starts talking big, even arguing with Fang Ziye for a while, and then says something like "see you outside the school after school," Fang Ziye will actually find it very exciting.

Unfortunately, neither Xie Shulan nor Professor Zhang Limin were the type of people who spoke like that, which instantly caused Fang Ziye to lose his fighting spirit!
Even for a fleeting moment, I doubted whether my previous choice was right or wrong.

Dou Kaigong's eyes were already covered with crow's feet, the lines of which were now quite deep. He asked with a hint of surprise, "Professor Zhang Limin also gave you some pointers?"

“Hmm!” Fang Ziye shook his head, not daring to lie.

Dou Kaigong then patted Fang Ziye on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's alright, Professor Fang, youthful exuberance is a good thing."

"Having the talent of youthful exuberance is a better thing."

Dou Kaigong could completely understand Fang Ziye's feelings at that moment...

After entering the laboratory, Fang Ziye did not tell anyone about Professor Zhang Limin's visit, but instead went straight into Hu Qingyuan's laboratory.

The application of microcirculation devices in chemotherapy has been explored by Nie Mingxian, Liao Jia, Lan Tianluo, Jie Han, Luo Tingzhu and others, and now Fang Ziye no longer needs to handle the details.

Fang Ziye had already made ample preparations for the large-scale basic research project on osteosarcoma centered on HK2, so there was no need for him to get involved.

However, the fundamental research project on the gene sequencing of osteosarcoma miRNA, which is specific to Fang Ziye, is currently being tackled only by Hu Qingyuan and Han Jingyi, and now Fang Ziye's personal involvement is needed.

"Master, the workload is just too much!" As soon as Hu Qingyuan saw Fang Ziye, he braced himself and truthfully reported his difficulties.

The reason why sequencing new miRNAs is currently the most challenging task in basic scientific research is not only because of the discovery of new miRNAs, but also because of the need to extract them.

Without the aid of mature reagent kits, the number of operational steps and the amount of work involved are enormous.

Although Lantianluo has spent a lot of money to complete a crucial early step, namely the sequencing of miRNAs.

But this is just the beginning. After you obtain the target miRNA, you still need to verify that it exists in osteosarcoma cells, which requires you to extract the miRNA.

The first thing to clarify is that miRNAs and mRNAs are different in size, and mRNAs are different in quality from DNA fragments in cells. You need to extract all the small RNAs such as miRNAs and circRNAs first.

To put it more simply, if you're looking for someone, and you only know one person, you only know their physical characteristics, such as being short.

So you first need to separate the shorter people from the taller people, and then differentiate them by skin color, hair length, and so on, to pinpoint their exact location...

"Yes, I know. This experiment has a lot of procedures, and our research objectives are quite broad."

"First, we need to extract fragments of this miRNA from osteosarcoma cells. Then, we need to extract the expression of this miRNA from the patient's blood, and we also need to exclude other tumors that do not contain fragments of this miRNA..."

"This is just our preliminary work!"

"Currently, there are more than forty common orthopedic tumors, such as osteochondroma, chondroma, and periosteal chondroma, which are chondrogenic tumors..."

"Osteosarcoma, osteoblastoma, osteoid osteoma, osteoma of bone origin..."

“Our project has not been officially approved yet. At least your master has not received any official notification. It’s all just rumors.”

"So we have several years to do it slowly, there's no rush."

“Our main task recently is…” Fang Ziye slowly explained the current task to Hu Qingyuan.

There's no other reason than that it was indeed difficult for Hu Qingyuan to start by breaking down such a massive project right from the beginning of his basic experiments.

Although Hu Qingyuan had a good foundation, Fang Ziye still needed to provide him with some break-down guidance. He not only had to tell Hu Qingyuan what he needed to do in the next period of time, but also make him understand why he needed to do these things and what the basis was.

"Other miRNAs in osteosarcoma were also discovered in this way, so we at least have a reference system. We slowly followed the discovery path of other miRNAs and made progress step by step."

"Of course, the difficulty for our research group is that, based on previous sequencing, it is possible that only osteosarcoma contains the target miRNA that we sequenced, at least that's the current situation."

"Therefore, we need to break it down more meticulously..."

Fang Ziye spent nearly two hours outlining the plan for the next two weeks: "Hu Qingyuan, for the next two weeks, what you need to do is figure out how to isolate miRNA-128 from osteosarcoma."

"Or, if we find miRNAs with similar structures, we can consider that we have made progress on this topic."

"This shouldn't be boring, right?" Fang Ziye asked jokingly.

"If your master were to do it personally, it should take about ten days, or even less than ten days."

Hu Qingyuan's brows furrowed instantly, and he rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand, still somewhat bewildered: "Master, at a time like this, please don't joke with me!"

Hu Qingyuan knew that the label of "boring" he had mentioned earlier would follow him for the rest of his life, and that Fang Ziye would probably mention it occasionally when he became a professor or associate professor.

"Hmm, no rush, take your time."

“This is a project that I’ve planned to complete in three to five years. Qingyuan, don’t expect to finish it in half a month or a month,” Fang Ziye said.

“Okay, teacher!” Hu Qingyuan replied, sounding somewhat doubtful about life.

In the past, he did many things smoothly because whether it was playing games, studying, or taking exams, they were not difficult to get started with.

When it comes to playing games, once you can move a mouse, you can gradually get the hang of it.

For exams, as long as you can read the book, you can get started.

However, in basic scientific research today, we don't know how high we've jumped in one step; it might be even higher than the leap made by the monks.

People who can jump that high generally wouldn't think of learning the "honey trap" technique.

……

After Fang Ziye came out of the laboratory, he found that Wu Xuanqi was also walking in a hurry.

There were also seven or eight people in white coats following behind Wu Xuanqi.

Wu Xuanqi hadn't originally planned to break his own rhythm, but after seeing Fang Ziye, he waved to the others, signaling them to go first.

Then he turned around and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fang?"

"Could you treat me to a meal? I'm starving!"

Wu Xuanqi's shamelessness was something Nie Mingxian couldn't even begin to describe. Fang Ziye then took off his gloves and threw them into the yellow trash can, asking, "Brother Qi, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Work, get slept with for free, and not get paid..." Wu Xuanqi pretended not to understand.

Fang Ziye saw the message from Luo Tingzhu that she had already eaten lunch in the cafeteria.

"Brother Qi, want to go to the cafeteria together? I have something to do this afternoon." Fang Ziye completely ignored Wu Xuanqi's 'cheeky' behavior!
"Okay, I happen to have something I want to tell you." Wu Xuanqi came closer, threw away his mask and gloves, and then washed his hands at the sink next to Fang Ziye.

"Ziye, my master has agreed to design and make that prosthetic limb!"

"My mentor will also invite experts in materials science and artificial intelligence to quickly produce a usable prosthesis. If there are any improvements later, we'll replace it!"

Wu Xuanqi has very strong execution skills.

Fang Ziye replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Qi. Please also give my thanks to Teacher Duan."

"Get lost! You think you're some kind of saint? All the rest of us are just obsessed with money, huh?"

"You're so high and mighty, so great!" Wu Xuanqi's face was full of sarcasm.

Fang Ziye: "Brother Qi, you've gone a bit too far."

"Should I say that Xiao Wu and Xiao Duan did a good job and had good execution skills?" Fang Ziye said, hands on his hips and chin raised.

But he immediately relaxed: "If my master finds out about this, my fellow disciples will have material for dislocation and repositioning of joints today."

"It doesn't seem to make any mistakes!"

"Our department and our junior colleagues in joint surgery also have a certain level of expertise in manual reduction of joints."

"Don't mention this anymore."

Wu Xuanqi then abruptly changed the subject, giving a thumbs-up: "Dr. Mei Longhu and Professor Tu from the Department of Spinal Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital have resigned!"

"Your Zhongnan Hospital is really awesome."

Upon hearing Wu Xuanqi's words, Fang Ziye's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "Brother Qi, you're so high and mighty, so great!"

"Next time I'll try to persuade Song Yi to go for some barbecue."

"It starts with you."

What Fang Ziye referred to as "barbecue" was actually a bottom-up reporting process, starting with Wu Xuanqi and continuing up to Professor Duan Hong.

"Hey!~" Wu Xuanqi's expression flashed, and his tone became strange:

"Why is your temper starting to resemble someone else's more and more?"

"Right? I used to wear a red scarf before I came here. It's all because of you, Brother Qi, that I've been corrupted. I'm going to tell Professor Duan next time!" Fang Ziye smiled, wiped his hands, and walked towards the cafeteria.

Wu Xuanqi followed, his right index finger tucked under his chin as he pondered: "My teacher also said that Ziye, your focus is definitely not limited to Hubei Province now."

"Boss Fang, when you eat meat, be sure to give me a sip of soup."

"Our team's structure and setup have a certain depth; they're not bad even by national standards!"

Wu Xuanqi had worked with Fang Ziye on 'bad things' before, and Wu Xuanqi knew just how deep Fang Ziye's resources were!

Wu Xuanqi finally understood why Fang Ziye had 'insulted' him in that way before.

If Fang Ziye wanted to crush himself, from Fang Ziye's perspective, it would just be a case of bullying one's own kind. At most, it would be like a nephew crushing his uncle and cousins ​​to death, sending them to their coffins.

To outsiders, Fang Ziye was at most a reckless brute; if you couldn't afford to offend him, you could simply hide away.

However, Fang Ziye did not do that. Instead, he changed his approach and directly led Wu Xuanqi into a new track.

This isn't a family business; it's a provincial "chamber of commerce alliance," which makes sense!

"What do you mean, Brother Qi?" Fang Ziye turned his head.

"Let's make friends!"

“Teacher Deng teaches by example!” Wu Xuanqi added cautiously.

Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, my mind map was broken through, forming a circular shape.

His expression shifted dramatically: "Brother Qi, you mean... my master? Professor Duan?"

Fang Ziye's left and right index fingers twirled together. Good heavens, the master is still the master!
Fang Ziye had been a little curious before about how Deng Yong and Duan Hong became such close friends, and why they weren't in the same hospital but had such a good personal relationship.

The relationship between Deng Yong and his colleagues in the Hand Surgery and Joint Surgery departments of this hospital is not as good as his personal relationship with Duan Hong!
Now that Wu Xuanqi has appeared, Deng Yong's youth seems to have been brought to life.

"Making friends is nothing to be ashamed of!" Wu Xuanqi smiled broadly after achieving his goal.

What I mean is, you better not call me a 'scumbag' all the time!
Back when my mentor, Professor Duan Hong, dominated the entire Hubei province track, there were many people who would take on my current role, the most prominent of whom was your own teacher, Deng Yong.

Fang Ziye nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes! I also love making friends."

After putting the topic aside, Wu Xuanqi asked, "Ziye, is your team up with something big right now?"

"I also saw Professor Deng Yong and Teacher Yuan Weihong, as well as Professor Xiao and Professor Du from the Department of Orthopedics, who also came to Enshi?"

Wu Xuanqi seemed to know everything about the personnel at Zhongnan Hospital.

They listed them off one by one: "Professor Xiao Dong is the former director of the Department of Orthopedics, Professor Du Yingshan is the former director, and Professor Li Dongqing is an even more senior figure. They've all come to Enshi; it would be strange if something big were to happen!"

Currently, the director of the Department of Bone Diseases is Professor Zeng Duoqin. When he served as the administrative director of the Department of Bone Diseases, he was only an associate professor. That was two years ago, when Fang Ziye was still in Enshi.

"Brother Qi, how come you know our hospital so well?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Isn't this because I want to know more?" Wu Xuanqi continued to inquire.

“I asked Nie Mingxian, and Nie Mingxian told me to ask you directly.”

"The matter that can keep him silent must be very significant."

Could you reveal a little bit?

Fang Ziye was very grateful to Dean Chen Song for protecting his privacy; he hadn't even told Wu Xuanqi about what was going on in the research group.

Fang Ziye thought for a moment. It was almost the end of March. Wu Xuanqi would know everything in two days at most. Two days in advance wouldn't make a difference.

"Holy crap~~..." At the entrance of the cafeteria, Wu Xuanqi froze on the spot, letting out a loud "fuck!"

His loud shout startled everyone eating, and he himself was branded a fool, attracting countless stares.

But Wu Xuanqi quickly accepted reality and began to question Fang Ziye in detail...

"Is there any soup left, bro?" Wu Xuanqi asked.

Fang Ziye hesitated for a moment: "We haven't started eating yet, but the dishes have been distributed almost evenly."

"Brother Qi, the improvement of basic experimental methods is no less important than this project! And the osteogenic induction material project is no less significant than this project!!!" Fang Ziye replied earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuanqi thought about it carefully before calming down.

……

April 1st, April Fools' Day.

If Fang Ziye hadn't actually seen the old man in front of him introduce himself as a retired cadre from the former National Health Commission, he would have been completely different.

Fang Ziye would definitely think that he had been fooled by Wu Xuanqi.

Teacher Zu Haiguo is one of his subordinates!
Now, Zu Haiguo was also sitting diagonally opposite him.

"Professor Fang, the main reason my former boss and I came here is to apologize to you."

"Old leader, to be honest, as I told you before, the person who saved my life when I almost died last time was Professor Fang."

"But Professor Fang wasn't a professor back then."

"That's why I took early retirement, but it's a stroke of luck that I survived!" Zu Haiguo introduced the two very politely.

Fang Ziye knew that the person who came was the one who had targeted his teacher, Deng Yong, this time.

"Teacher Xie, I'm so sorry! There might really be some misunderstanding." Fang Ziye didn't care about the monk's feelings but still wanted to save face for the Buddha.

Although he saved Zu Haiguo, Zu Haiguo also owed him a debt of gratitude.

If Zu Haiguo hadn't invited the two senior academicians to Zhongnan Hospital and even stepped in to promote his professional title, Fang Ziye might not have been able to break through the blockade of the Hubei Provincial Health Commission so easily.

Xie Yan had half-white hair, calm features, and an exceptionally sharp demeanor.

After seeing Fang Ziye apologize first, he pursed his lips and said, "Professor Fang, this time I should be apologizing to you. It was indeed my personal fault that caused trouble for you and your teacher."

“I thought I could solve some of my granddaughter’s problems relatively well on my own, but I didn’t expect it to backfire on her.”

The old man hesitated for a moment before continuing, "A few days ago, Shulan came back and said that although she had encountered some trouble with her research project, she had also received very crucial inspiration and guidance."

"I asked her who said that, and she mentioned Professor Fang..."

"When I heard that, I felt very ashamed."

Fang Ziye somewhat understood that grandparents often spoil their grandchildren more than their own children, but he didn't feel particularly pleased when he heard Xie Yan's apology.

Because the harm he caused to his teacher was like tearing open a scar; the wound is still there, and it can never be pretended that it never happened.

However, what Xie Yan did this time was merely cutting a piece with a scalpel, which to some extent brought the team a chance for treatment.

If the matter is delayed any further and someone reopens the wound, Fang Ziye feels that the impact on him will be even greater.

"Professor Zu, Professor Xie, what has happened cannot be taken back, including the letters I submitted!"

"But as the objective facts show, the problems you pointed out, Professor Xie, are deep-seated issues that our team must address ourselves."

"Some of the ambiguities in Professor Xie's previous articles are also objective facts. If these can be overcome, her research level and achievements can be greatly improved."

"While I can't offer a perfect solution right now, it is certainly a line of thought!"

"My previous research projects did indeed affect the completion of Professor Xie's important research project, but..."

"This is not just affecting one person, but a dilemma and challenge that we researchers must face."

"I don't think this challenge is more hopeless than the challenges our country has faced. This is just a normal scientific breakthrough and discovery. As a scientific researcher, I have to point it out and correct it when I make a discovery."

"We cannot leave a problem unresolved just because we have discovered it and feel that its impact is significant."

"As doctors, our direct focus is on patients. What we need to do is, within our capabilities, resolve any doubts before treatment begins, right?" Fang Ziye explained in a rhetorical question.

Both of them are in an awkward situation right now!
Xie Yan would never allow Deng Yong to return to his former position, because the whole affair had already been exposed.

Similarly, Fang Ziye would not retract the article he sent out just because Xie Yan came to him!

Xie Yan nodded upon hearing this: "Professor Fang, I have two more questions. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to answer them?"

"Thank you, Teacher." Fang Ziye remained polite on the surface.

"You said you randomly selected articles from the live stream when you were writing them. Do you know this person?" Xie Yan asked.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye was taken aback, realizing that the other party had not given up, but rather felt there was no need to confront Fang Ziye head-on.

Fang Ziye shook his head: "The audience for the live broadcast is random, and the articles published include not only domestic authors but also foreign authors."

“Some people even posted the titles of our own team’s articles to stir up trouble.”

At this point, Fang Ziye couldn't possibly betray Wu Xuanqi.

Xie Yan nodded; he hadn't held out much hope either. Mainly, Xie Yan hadn't expected Fang Ziye to be so ruthless as to even 'cut down' his own team members: "Professor Fang, do you have a girlfriend?"

……

"Excuse me, Professor Xie, Professor Zu, I need to take this call." Fang Ziye picked up the phone, answered it, and walked straight out of the meeting room.

Fang Ziye quickly turned around: "Teachers, a patient in the internal medicine ward has suffered cardiac arrest. Please excuse me, I'm so sorry..."

Then, Fang Ziye hurriedly jogged towards the clinic area of ​​the sanatorium.

Fang Ziye's heart was in turmoil as he jogged.

That's a bit of a loss!
It's my own teacher and myself who are suffering, both of whom bear a stain that can't be washed away. I'm not too affected, but my teacher will probably have a hard time recovering in the future.

Xie Yan paid only with an apology and a promise of reconciliation.

Of course, the team didn't gain nothing either, but what Fang Ziye obtained was all within his reach, the kind of thing that would have happened naturally even without the other party's help...

However, things have already developed to this point, and there's no way to reverse things back to the way they were before.

The trigger point for this whole series of events still came from Wu Xuanqi, this 'goofball'!
……

"Old leader, Professor Fang is indeed a very pure and thoughtful person."

“Back then, I intended for him to…” Zu Haiguo then recounted how he had invited Fang Ziye to become his 'informant' in Enshi years ago, but Fang Ziye had refused.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan slowly got into the car: "Perhaps it is only people as pure as him who have achieved such knowledge and accomplishments."

“There aren’t many young people in the whole country who can be praised by Shu Lan and commended by Shu Lan’s mentor.”

"It's just a pity that he already has a girlfriend." Xie Yan's tone was somewhat regretful.

Upon hearing this, Zu Haiguo suddenly turned and looked at Xie Yan seriously.

Zu Haiguo instantly felt that he had been taught a lesson by his former boss once again. Xie Yan's visit was not to apologize or negotiate a deal at all; his real purpose was probably to see someone...

In a courtyard of a sanatorium.

The professors and associate professors of the internal medicine team were doing their best to perform CPR on a emaciated patient with a sallow complexion.

Beside him, another person was keeping track of the time.

Professor Qu Tangwei comforted the family, saying, "Actually, we expected this to happen today. Passing away a day earlier might not be a bad thing for the patient."

The family member was the patient's son, a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties. His eyes were red: "Professor Qu, my father told us this a long time ago!"

"It's just that my mom and I can't bear to part with him."

"Is there really no other treatment for end-stage renal failure besides a kidney transplant?" The man's voice choked with emotion.

Qu Tangwei shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir."

"The fact that modern medicine has come up with the idea of ​​kidney transplantation to treat kidney failure is already a last resort compromise."

"But a kidney donor needs to be matched."

"Is my kidney really a mismatch with my father's? Did my dad say something to you?" the man continued to ask.

His father was a hero in his heart, and a hero in the hearts of others as well.

“Young man, we are doctors, and you are family members. You have seen the matching report.”

"If we really had a choice, we would rather it be you family members who are struggling with this decision, rather than ourselves."

At this point, Professor Yang Fenggen stepped forward and stopped the young man in the white coat who was performing CPR.

"We've been performing chest compressions for half an hour, but the patient still hasn't regained sinus rhythm..."

"Even if we were to press on him now, he would already be brain dead!"

Yang Fenggen then turned to the young man and said frankly, "I'm sorry, young man, our abilities are limited, and we were unable to save him despite our best efforts."

"You may need to prepare for your father's funeral."

The young man nodded, knelt down with remarkable composure, and said in a choked voice, "Dad, may you rest in peace. Take good care of yourself and don't push yourself too hard."

"Don't try to be brave anymore..."

Fang Ziye arrived and watched the scene with a relatively calm demeanor, showing little emotion.

This patient was also admitted under mandatory hospitalization; this falls under the category of 'end-of-life care' in the terminal stage.

Originally, the patient in the hand surgery group who suffered from chronic osteomyelitis would inevitably have reached this point as well.

It was only because of Fang Ziye's appearance and a flash of inspiration that he went down to negotiate once and won the negotiation.

But not every patient has the opportunity to negotiate, and the outcome is another matter!

Fang Ziye calmly watched as the old man was covered with a white sheet, pushed out of the sanatorium by a male nurse, and then transported away in a hearse so that his soul could return to his hometown.

……

After everyone dispersed, they all looked somewhat dejected.

Regardless of whether the patient is in end-of-life care or not, once a patient passes away, even the most mentally strong doctor will not immediately become frivolous and cheerful.

However, when the group arrived at a courtyard, a family member happened to be passing by with some fruit. Upon seeing everyone, the family member immediately greeted them warmly and politely, saying, "Professor Fang, professors, you've come at just the right time!"

"I just bought some peaches down the mountain. They're all fresh, but they haven't been washed yet. Professors, please have a few..." He held the plastic bag in both hands, his smile warm and sincere.

As he spoke, he grabbed peaches and handed them to everyone, his enthusiasm making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

Fang Ziye was the first to be given the pills; a total of three pills were given to him.

Before he could refuse, Fang Ziye saw that the elderly man who had passed away in the neighboring courtyard was being transported in a flatbed covered with a white cloth, but the expressions of the family members who looked over were quite unusual.

Some are happy and some are sad.

They're just one hospital apart...
