top student at medical school

Chapter 598 Everything Has a Cause and Effect!
The unusual atmosphere remained tense for about ten seconds before the young man finally turned around, opened a cigarette pack, forced a smile, and started offering cigarettes.

"Professor Yang, Professor Qu, Professor Fang, thank you for your hard work."

"Does your brother smoke?" the young man asked, his tone becoming increasingly calm.

The middle-aged man handing out fruit looked a little embarrassed, his hands full of fruit bags, his emotions unsettled.

Professor Yang Fenggen smokes, while Professor Qu Tangwei and Fang Ziye both declined.

"Thank you, professors. My father has been in trouble with you all during his stay here..." The young man bowed before turning and leaving.

His father suffered from end-stage renal failure due to uremia. In this advanced internet age, everyone knows that there is no other way to treat this disease except by waiting for a suitable kidney donor.

However, the fact that his father did not receive a suitable kidney donor was unrelated to the sanatorium, unless the sanatorium also resorted to unethical means to specifically harvest a kidney for his father...

"Brother Liu, has he left?" The middle-aged man squinted as he looked at the young man's retreating figure.

Medical staff will not ask the names of patients in the nursing home, but patients' families will communicate and address each other.

The two courtyards were not far apart.

"Yes, this man's father just passed away after all efforts to save him failed." Fang Ziye said, picking up a peach from his hand. "Thank you!"

"Go back and let the patient get some rest." Fang Ziye didn't ask him about 'Brother Liu'.

The age difference between the middle-aged man and the patient who just passed away was probably less than ten years, but it made no difference whether his surname was Liu or Liu (the surname of the deceased).

……

After saying goodbye to the "middle-aged family members," Fang Ziye and the others returned to the office area.

Only then did Qu Tangwei ask with concern, "Professor Fang, are you alright? I heard from Professor Zuo of the Department of Respiratory Medicine that you might be in trouble, so I called you over immediately."

In principle, end-of-life care patients in the internal medicine group do not require doctors from the surgical group to "see them off" or participate in resuscitation.

However, since others were unaware of how the sanatorium operated, this provided Fang Ziye with the perfect excuse to temporarily escape.

Fang Ziye has been at the sanatorium for more than four months, and has gained everyone's trust and recognition by using his skills and data from discharged patients.

Only after we recognize each other can we be considered part of the same circle and help each other out.

"Thank you, Professor Qu."

"I'm fine, just chatting casually!" Fang Ziye replied with a smile, just as his phone beeped again with a notification.
"Professor Fang, please continue with your work. Professor Yang and I will head back now."

“We still need to conduct a retrospective analysis of this death case,” Qu Tangwei said.

Internal medicine doctors discuss cases in greater detail than surgical doctors, often scrutinizing every single detail to the extreme.

The discussion of death cases will be very detailed, with retrospective analysis to identify areas for improvement and strengths, so that lessons can be learned for the future…

Fang Ziye placed the peaches in the break room of the surgical treatment area before turning on his phone.

The messages were sent to Fang Ziye by Shu Lang and Yan Zhiming. After reading them, Fang Ziye's brows furrowed and he hesitated instantly...

"Ziye, I've already sent a screenshot of the message to the advisor." Yan Zhiming's voice in the message was very crisp.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye's expression changed drastically!
Oh no, something terrible is about to happen!
Then they hurriedly headed towards the laboratory...

However, before Fang Ziye had even left the sanatorium's treatment area and was still jogging, his phone rang again.

Upon checking the notes, it was found to be Academician Zhang Limin.

Fang Ziye considered it carefully for a moment, then decided to slow down and answer the call: "Hello, Professor Zhang!"

Zhang Limin is an academician and a figure of great stature in China's scientific research community. Fang Ziye had previously challenged his research group, but instead of confronting him, Professor Zhang Limin sincerely sought his advice.

He was very open-minded, which is why Fang Ziye respected him greatly!
"Professor Fang, if I have disturbed you, please forgive me in advance."

"That's right. Based on the questions you raised earlier, Professor Fang, our research group has come up with two alternative solutions and approaches."

"The research group will hold an internal discussion this Thursday."

"Professor Fang, you have also mentioned that you have doubts and your own insights in this area. I wonder if our research group would be honored to invite you to participate in the discussion?" Zhang Limin asked in a kind and friendly voice.

Professor Zhang Limin truly embodies the essence of gentleness and refinement!
In comparison, the academicians in the orthopedics department had a more or less "street smarts" attitude. Although they were instructing Fang Ziye, their tone was also cursing and swearing, and they were more directly disappointed in him.

Even Professor Tang Fupei, a newly elected academician in orthopedics, has a rather strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit!

Compared to these orthopedic academicians, Professor Zhang Limin can be considered a pure scholar. He has no clinical duties and is not even closely involved in seeing patients in the clinic. He only engages in scientific research and basic research.

"Professor Zhang, next Thursday? That might not be convenient!" Fang Ziye said.

Today is Monday, June 4th.

Next Thursday is the 11th, and my team will be holding an academic presentation in the next two days. Fang Ziye can't possibly give up his home turf to support the event and go out to study.

Currently, Professor Deng Yong is the main speaker, but Fang Ziye knows he needs to cover for his teacher.

However, there might be a particularly troublesome matter at hand.

"Our research group will be holding an academic report on the 10th..." Fang Ziye did not hide anything and proactively told them about the schedule.

"Give an academic lecture?" Zhang Limin asked curiously.

What direction is it?

For Fang Ziye to refuse a discussion within his research group, especially on such a cutting-edge topic, he must have weighed the pros and cons.

"Regarding the clinical application of new chemotherapy methods for bone tumors..." Fang Ziye mentioned briefly.

Zhang Limin's mind went blank for a moment: "What do you mean? Can we talk about it in more detail?"

Fang Ziye said, "Professor Zhang, I'm a bit busy right now and have to rush to my research group. Could you please allow me to send you the invitation to our academic report?"

The messages sent to me by Yan Zhiming and Shu Lang both indicated that Deng Yong was in danger!

What is Deng Yong doing?
While Deng Yong was in Enshi recently, he was still thinking about how to bring Yan Zhiming back for a big feast, and how to fatten Shu Lang up...

To put it in more colloquial terms, he was thinking about how to get Yan Zhiming and Shu Lang to come and pick the peaches that belonged to Nie Mingxian and Liao Jia!
Chat logs are proof!
Moreover, Yan Zhiming, who had already started working at a prefecture-level city hospital, sent all these chat messages to his advisor, Li Guohua.

Li Guohua is also in Enshi!
“Alright, Professor Fang, if you really have something urgent, please go ahead with your business!” Zhang Limin also noticed that Fang Ziye’s tone and manner were not quite right, so he didn’t dare to bother him any further. However, he still tried his best to get Fang Ziye to take the initiative to explain.

"I'm sorry, Professor Zhang, I'm really in a hurry right now." Fang Ziye then hung up the phone.

He quickly opened the memo again and added the matter of sending an invitation letter to Professor Zhang Limin to the unfinished schedule.

As soon as Fang Ziye arrived at the entrance of the experimental area of ​​the sanatorium, he saw Professor Li Guohua and Professor Xiong Zhizhang. They specifically called out Deng Yong's name and were about to lead him out of the sanatorium.

Professors Li Guohua and Xiong Zhizhang both appeared very calm.

Deng Yong knew nothing about it. When he saw Fang Ziye, he greeted him, "Ziye, go to Tingzhu's side first. They're all waiting for you."

"Professor Li, Professor Xiong and I are going out to take care of some business."

After Deng Yong gave his instructions, he avoided Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye quickly turned around and chased after him: "Master, let me go with you. I also need to see Master and Teacher Xiong about something."

Li Guohua quickly said, "Ziye, go ahead and get busy. The discussion inside is waiting for you."

"We're going back to the hotel to discuss something."

Xiong Zhizhang forced a smile and joked, "You want to come along when we old folks go for a chat?"

Fang Ziye nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, Teacher Xiong, I also happen to have something to report to you in person."

"Someone just reported a rather unusual situation to me."

Fang Ziye pointed out that he knew what Xiong Zhizhang and Li Guohua were up to.

Deng Yong was still completely unaware of what was going on: "What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"If it's urgent, we'll go with you to handle it," Deng Yong said, showing great concern for Fang Ziye.

After glancing at Fang Ziye a few times, Li Guohua realized that Fang Ziye probably knew about this, and said, "Then Ziye, you can come along."

"Perfect timing, you can drive!"

Fang Ziye followed behind the group.

After getting on the bus, neither Li Guohua nor Xiong Zhizhang said a word.

Deng Yong pressed on, "Ziye, did someone call you?"

"If you encounter any problems, just tell us. We'll try our best to help you. Even if I can't help, your advisor is still here."

Deng Yong knew that Academician Zhang Limin had personally contacted Fang Ziye a few days ago, and assumed that Fang Ziye was in trouble with this matter.

Xiong Zhizhang and Li Guohua remained unmoved.

Fang Ziye nodded and said, "Master, let's talk about this when we get back to the hotel!"

Looking in the rearview mirror, Fang Ziye saw that the expressions on the faces of Li Guohua and Professor Xiong Zhizhang were gradually becoming cold and stern.

"..."

After getting off the bus, Li Guohua added, "Ziye, aren't you really going to visit the research group? I think Zhu called you just now."

"Master, it's alright, I've already replied to them."

"Let's go up!" Fang Ziye locked the car door and handed the car keys to Deng Yong.

At this moment, Fang Ziye was extremely conflicted.

On one side was his teacher, Deng Yong, who, unlike Yuan Weihong, had shown him the same level of recognition and support.
But he was genuinely good to me, running around to secure funding for me, getting me many benefits, and doing all sorts of favors for me.

This kind of gratitude is not much different from that of Yuan Weihong.

However, this time, Deng Yong really crossed Fang Ziye's bottom line!
Deng Yong carefully accompanied him, saying, "Master, Teacher Xiong, let's go upstairs."

"What exactly is it that you two insist on having me come to the hotel with you to handle this?" Deng Yong's voice remained polite and respectful.

Li Guohua still didn't answer, but instead led the way up to a suite in the hotel.

Li Guohua abruptly interrupted Deng Yong, who was about to boil water for tea, and then reached out, his voice cold and stern: "Deng Yong, unlock your phone and give it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong's eyebrows immediately twitched.

"Master? Why are you looking at my phone?"

"This is a matter of personal privacy," Deng Yong said, still pretending to take it.

Li Guohua roared again: "Give it to me! Open WeChat!!"

"Found the chat history with Yan Zhiming and Shu Lang!" Li Guohua immediately revealed his true intentions.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong's expression immediately changed, and he promptly put his phone away.

Then his gaze became intense and fixed on Fang Ziye, his eyes sharp as knives, as if they could cut someone!

Li Guohua pulled out his phone and tossed it to Deng Yong: "It's fine if you don't give it to me, but take a look at my chat history!"

At the same time, Xiong Zhizhang handed his phone to Fang Ziye, asking Fang Ziye to review the screenshots again in detail.

The first one.

Yan Zhiming: "Master, this is not good. I am doing quite well at my current job. Although I really hope to continue to work with you and my other fellow disciples to explore the land."

"But my personal abilities are limited, and I have not participated in this project."

Deng Yong: "Whether you participate or not is not up to you. You give me one answer right now: are you coming or not?"

"This is a fantastic opportunity!"

“Nie Mingxian and Liao Jia are outsiders; they were just tagging along because Ziye didn’t have enough people around him.”

"Take leave now and come over, and your master will make arrangements for you."

the second one.

“Nie Mingxian and Fang Ziye are just business partners. You and Fang Ziye are fellow disciples, brothers in the same sect, like brothers.”

"Ask yourself honestly, if Fang Ziye really ran into trouble, would you contribute more or would Nie Mingxian contribute more? Would Liao Jia and the others just pack up and run away?"

"Yan Zhiming, come here right now!"

"I told you, I have a way to arrange it for you."

The third one.

"Shulang, you need to do one thing for me now, and that is..."

Fang Ziye had read all of these, but before he could finish, Deng Yong turned around angrily and demanded, "Fang Ziye, did you do this?"

"Did you do this?"

"Fang Ziye, you're a traitor! You're a fame-seeker! You've betrayed your own family for the greater good!"

You even betrayed your own master!

"You have absolutely no understanding of social etiquette, and you're also discriminating against others!"

“You treat me completely differently than you treat Yuan Weihong!” Deng Yong’s eyes were red.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye handed the phone to Xiong Zhizhang, raising both hands: "Master, I swear, if I, Fang Ziye, was involved in this matter, I am willing to be struck by lightning!"

Li Guohua shoved Deng Yong, knocking him down onto one of the beds in the standard room!
"Deng Yong? What are you going to do?"

"Are you going to hit me again? Do you want to kill me?"

"Can you think about what you've done? Don't you think you've harmed people enough?" Li Guohua questioned loudly.

Deng Yong staggered to his feet.

Li Guohua continued, "If Fang Ziye hadn't had some savings of his own, he would have been dragged down by you and died!"

"Do you really think everyone else is a fool? You used Fang Ziye to force Du Xinzhan to take the doctoral exam, and you arranged for him to graduate early because you knew that Dong Wenqiang couldn't compare to Du Xinzhan's recent doctoral graduates."

"So you made Dong Wenqiang postpone his graduation..."

"You now?"

"Liao Jia is not from our Zhongnan Hospital. Nie Mingxian is a top talent that our hospital has introduced."

"What do you want to do? Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Do you want to be the emperor?"

"Do you want to destroy the platform we've worked so hard to build, so you can dominate everything and turn the entire Zhongnan Hospital into your backyard?" Li Guohua raised his hand to slap him.

In the end, however, Li Guohua did not continue the fight.

Because hitting someone solves nothing!

Only murder is permissible!

Deng Yong said, "Master, I'm telling the truth. The cooperative relationship is completely unreliable. If Fang Ziye really encounters any trouble, the only ones who can help him are our own people."

"I'm doing this for Fang Ziye's own good. With more trusted people, Fang Ziye can accomplish more."

"I'm not doing this for myself, I'm not doing this for personal gain, it's Fang Ziye who needs more of his own people!" Li Guohua roared. "Before your students came to Zhongnan Hospital, we were all strangers!"

"Before you, Deng Yong, came to Zhongnan Hospital, I didn't even know your ancestors' surnames!"

"Deng Yong, I really want to strangle you!"

"How many times do you have to break your bones before you realize that there are some hurdles you can't jump over?"

"what?"

“Liu Qiao once, Yuan Weihong once, here once, there once, how many more times will it take…” Li Guohua said something that shocked Fang Ziye.

Liu Qiao was Fang Ziye's senior martial brother.

Yuan Weihong was Fang Ziye's mentor.

Deng Yong?
No?

The year Yuan Weihong joined the company was the same year his mentor, Deng Yong, lost his doctorate.
Too much time had passed for Fang Ziye to know the details.

“Master, you’re getting old!” Deng Yong argued forcefully.

“You don’t understand the current situation at all. Things are different now than before.” Deng Yong’s face turned red, and the mole on his chin twitched slightly.

"In this situation, one person's strength cannot create any waves; we must unite and cooperate. We need to build a team, a comprehensive team, with direction, leadership, and obedient people!"

"have…"

Xiong Zhizhang sighed: "Deng Yong, do you think that the people you consider obedient must be your own people?"

"Let me ask you, not to mention those far away, just look at Yuan Weihong, Li Yuanpei, and Wang Yuanqi, these so-called 'our own people,' don't you think you've harmed them badly enough?"

"Take Yuan Weihong for example. He joined the company on his own that year. Did he need you to pull strings? What are you trying to prove by being so clever?"

"That time, Du Xinzhan and Wen Dongqing didn't beat you and Yuan Weihong hard enough, did they?"

Deng Yongdao:
"I did that for insurance!"

"Who knows if Professor Wen Dongqing would pull strings for his student?"

"So what was the result?" Li Guohua asked rhetorically.

"The same year Liu Huanglong was in school, what happened?!" Li Guohua questioned.

"Da da da!~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Deng Yong shouted, clearly annoyed.

Professor Wen Dongfang turned around to open the door, clearly knowing who the visitor was.

A handsome young man, Song Yi, a PhD in Trauma Surgery at Tongji Hospital!

"Xiao Song, come in," Xiong Zhizhang invited in a low voice.

Upon seeing Song Yi, Deng Yong's face turned pale instantly.

After Song Yi entered, he simply asked in a low voice, "Professor Deng, apart from not being your master's student, in what way am I inferior to Li Yuanpei?"

"Qualifications, operational skills, research experience, family background, or place of origin?"

"Get out!" Deng Yong exploded.

He has no way to resolve this situation today.

Song Yi was very obedient; he left as soon as he finished speaking.

Moreover, when she turned around, she even glanced at Fang Ziye with a smile. This glance was exactly the same as the one she had given at the entrance of Zhongnan Hospital, both dashing and unrestrained.

He came here to question Deng Yong.

This was also the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Not for any benefit, but just for the sake of saving face.

He didn't regret Deng Yong's rejection. His future was bright, with Duan Hong as his mentor.

However, Song Yi was also extremely dissatisfied.

Xiong Zhizhang pushed Fang Ziye to the door and said, "Ziye, see Xiao Song out!"

“You’re all young people, have a good chat.”

Xiong Zhizhang's expression was cold and ruthless, showing absolutely no mercy.

Fang Ziye was pushed out the door.

……

Song Yi met Fang Ziye's gaze calmly, and then spoke first: "Fang Ziye, I don't regret coming here."

"Moreover, I can especially understand the senior alumnus who reported Professor Deng Yong and now works at Xiangya No. 2 Hospital, and graduated from Huashan Hospital!"

Fang Ziye was completely unaware of Tian Songlin's situation.

Fang Ziye was involved in Song Yi's case almost "from beginning to end." He watched helplessly as Song Yi passed the special professional assessment, obtained the special quota, and then gave it up.

I witnessed Professor Li Guohua remove Deng Yong from his position as the administrative director of trauma surgery because of Song Yi's matter.

For this, Fang Ziye and others, as well as many of Deng Yong's students, paid a heavy price, enabling Professor Han Yuanxiao to become the administrative director for a period of time.

During this period, Fang Ziye also had an unpleasant encounter with Professor Han Yuanxiao!

Fang Ziye looked back at the hotel door. The corridor was dimly lit, and the carpet on the floor felt soft and unreal, lacking any sense of weight.

Fang Ziye had too many doubts in his mind at this moment.

However, all these doubts are no longer important at this moment!

Fang Ziye thought for a moment, then turned back and knocked on the door: "Teacher Li, Teacher Xiong, could you please open the door?"

"Get lost! No one can change anything today!" This was Li Guohua's angry outburst.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye knew that there was no room for maneuver.

Fang Ziye had no choice but to leave with Song Yi.

"Fang Ziye, I have to go back now. I have a lot of missions to complete, so you don't need to see me off," Song Yi said after he and Fang Ziye went down to the first floor of the hotel.

"Brother Yi, let's take a taxi back together. I want to apologize to you on behalf of my master," Fang Ziye said.

"What's the point of saying sorry?!"

“It’s all in the past, I’ve vented my anger, and I’m doing very well now,” Song Yi said.

"If Teacher Xiong hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have bothered with this..." Song Yi replied with complete disdain.

In Song Yi's eyes, he didn't care at all what Deng Yong would suffer.

Even if Deng Yong thought that Song Yi had kicked him while he was down and given him the final blow, Song Yi didn't care.

What, you can't even talk about things you've personally experienced? Don't you dare do that!

Anyway, he had Duan Hong backing him up, so the fact that he didn't tell Duan Hong the most intimate details of their conversation was already a way of giving Deng Yong face.

……

Fang Ziye walked into the research group again.

However, after leaving the sanatorium's laboratory, Deng Yong never returned.

During this time, Fang Ziye called Deng Yong many times, but no one answered. Fang Ziye also asked his advisor, Li Guohua, but Li Guohua remained silent, only telling Fang Ziye to prepare his academic report and perform his clinical surgeries well.

During this time, Duan Hong called Fang Ziye several times to ask what had happened and why Deng Yong did not reply to his messages.

This is such a crucial time.

Fang Ziye could not give an answer either.

It was about two days later that Fang Ziye received a call from Professor Du Xinzhan.

"Ziye, Professor Deng is currently the director of the laboratory at the hospital and isn't going anywhere else. The hospital rejected his application to transfer to another location for research." Du Xinzhan's tone was still quite cautious.

"Ziye, do you think this is acceptable?"

"This was personally reported and handled by Professors Li Guohua and Xiong Zhizhang."

Du Xinzhan was asking for Fang Ziye's opinion because he was afraid that Fang Ziye would have objections to this approach.

"Professor Du, I don't know!" Fang Ziye's voice trembled slightly.

Somewhat panicked.

"What don't you know? You can tell me," Du Xinzhan asked with concern.

"I don't know how to say it, I don't know what to say." Fang Ziye's voice turned into a murmur.

Fang Ziye's most solid foundation and most reliable backing were thus brought down.

It's fair to say that after this incident, Deng Yong was essentially sidelined.

Even his own teacher reported him. It's really impossible for Deng Yong to stay at Zhongnan Hospital anytime soon!
At this moment, Fang Ziye's feelings were exactly the same as Deng Yong's when Professor Dong Yaohui left Zhongnan Hospital.

Master is a noble and reassuring word.

He is also a very trustworthy person.

Fang Ziye never had a moment to doubt that Deng Yong would treat him badly!
Fang Ziye never doubted it. In fact, he felt that with Deng Yong behind him, he could rest easy. He could even criticize the dean, and no one else could get away with harming Fang Ziye without Deng Yong's help.

And yet, this very person is now...?

Fang Ziye lost such a teacher, such a pillar of support.

However, what did Deng Yong do?

Now, he's going to take action against Nie Mingxian and Liao Jia!

Fang Ziye had very mixed feelings.

"If you don't know how to say it, just digest it properly, or even don't say it or think about it."

"Ziye, I'm sorry, I've already done everything I could!"

Of course, Du Xinzhan added, "Actually, your teacher Deng Yong and your teacher Professor Li Guohua are both extremely temperamental."

"If Deng Yong took favoritism to its extreme, then Li Guohua took selflessness to its highest level!"

"Ziye, you probably don't know how Professor Li Guohua got in, do you?"

Du Xinzhan paused here, piquing the audience's interest.

Fang Ziye did not answer.

"They deliver the goods themselves, taking on all the responsibility."

“Our entire orthopedics department!” Du Xinzhan said before hanging up the phone.

In orthopedics, among the senior professors, only one person got admitted!

Previously, Fang Ziye thought that Li Guohua was just unlucky and had just been caught.

However, it wasn't until this moment, after Li Guohua had been in prison for two years and then came out, and after spending some time in the hospital, that Fang Ziye truly understood Li Guohua.

Due to historical factors, the practice of clinical drugs and pharmaceutical representatives redeeming prizes is practically an open secret.

They keep popping up everywhere, and they can't be stopped no matter how many times they're banned!
If you were to investigate, very few people could bypass this network.

Just like many people within the system, they can't be taken off their pants; once their pants are pulled off, it's basically like they're covered in shit...

However, such matters are generally not investigated; at most, one or two ringleaders will be targeted.

Li Guohua has walked right into the trap, so this line can be closed!

Li Guohua, former chief of orthopedics department.

He could present a tiger to 'Wu Dalang' to make him famous.

……

Time is like water.

April 9th.

on Tuesday.

The day before the research group was to give an academic presentation, Fang Ziye finished a limb-sparing surgery on a patient with severe diabetic foot and tentatively made a phone call to Deng Yong.

This time, the call went through, and Deng Yong had already answered it.

Fang Ziye quickly turned to the side, avoiding Professor Du Donglin and the others.

"Master? Where have you been these past few days? Why can't I get through to you on the phone?"

“I wasn’t involved in Professor Li Guohua’s matter, but I did know about it beforehand. I’m sorry, Master, I should have told you earlier,” Fang Ziye said in a low voice.

Fang Ziye really should have notified Deng Yong in advance, even just by making a phone call.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong sighed deeply: "Ziye, Teacher Li is my mentor. Currently, no one in the department understands him better than me."

"It wouldn't have mattered if you had told me in advance."

“My master has always been so righteous, so fair and just, and so persistent since he was young.”

"If I hadn't personally witnessed some of my fellow students being ruthlessly sent away by Teacher Li one by one, I would have heard far too many complaints and grievances."

"I don't think my own obsession runs that deep!"

“Not a single one of my fellow students could stay here with Teacher Li, not a single one?” Deng Yong’s voice was very low and he murmured.

There was regret, bitterness, and even more confusion.

He had none of them, so Deng Yong probably suffered a lot. He had no support, so he became afraid, and that's why he followed his own path and became obsessed...

The Buddha said that everything has a cause and effect.

"Ziye, from now on you'll have to make your own choices!" Deng Yong said with a smile.

He probably can't be of much help, since Deng Yong's legs have already been 'broken'.

"Master, will you come again tomorrow?" Fang Ziye asked.

Tomorrow is an important day, a day when our research group will surely take off.

"I'm not coming..."

Ten minutes later, Fang Ziye slowly put down his phone, his gaze unfocused...
