Chapter 587: The Outbreak of the Influenza Virus

In order to avoid causing panic in society, the relevant departments must be notified as soon as possible. A series of measures, such as how to inform the public, how to quickly dispatch more manpower, how to investigate the root cause, how to find a solution, and so on, required a large amount of manpower and material resources.

“A new influenza virus?”Yun Xiangxiang thought that it was just an ordinary virus infection, but she did not expect it to be so serious that a child had already died. “How is this virus caused?”

“It’s basically caused by the evolution and mutation of other viruses.”Song Mian could not say too many technical terms to Yun Xiangxiang. Otherwise, she might not be able to understand it even if she heard it. “You should rest well at home. I’ll go over and take a look myself.”

Since this had happened, even if they did not take the initiative to come over, there would still be people who would come looking for them.

Yun Xiangxiang knew that the situation was rather urgent, so she did not want to waste song Mian’s time. He might not be good at this, so he would definitely have to send more people over. Things would also become more complicated.

He had said that he would be able to move in the next day, so she thought that he would be able to rest for a few days. She did not expect this to happen again.

Yun Xiangxiang continued to follow the news. The news refreshed very quickly, and the reports were all different. Everyone had their own guesses. Most of the media were more objective, rational, and righteous. A few of them were scaremongering and making wild guesses for the sake of attracting attention.

Some said that there were child abuse cases in the kindergarten, some said that the children were given medicine, and some said that the food in the kindergarten was spoiled..

They made it sound as if they had seen it with their own eyes. In order to confuse the public, they even made some related pictures that were not part of the incident. These people probably did not know how serious the incident was and were rus.h.i.+ng to court death!

Yun Xiangxiang thought that if she did not know the truth, she would have to believe it if she saw it with an uninformed audience.

She called Xue Yu again, but he did not pick up. She hoped that Xue Yu would come back. If he stayed there now, it would only attract more media attention, and the situation would develop in an unpredictable direction.

Fortunately, after Xue Yu went missing, he Wei bought the fastest flight and rushed back to the country at this time. He went straight to the hospital where Xue Yu was at and pulled Xue Yu out of the mess. Only then did the news report stop somewhat.

The relevant departments also began to suppress the unwarranted speculation of the media, which helped to minimize the disturbance. However, the virus infection in the kindergarten was still on the hot searches, with a lot of people paying attention to it.

It had caused a great damage to the reputation of the kindergarten. Now, all parents and pa.s.sers-by alike condemned the school, demanding that the person in charge of the school take responsibility and give an explanation.

As the matter continued to escalate, it reached its climax when the video of the parents of the dead child crying in grief at school was posted on the Internet. The denunciation of the school reached its peak.

Yun Xiangxiang thought about how she had been waiting for the results at home. She did not receive any news even after having dinner that night. She only went to bed at around ten o’clock and only fell asleep after tossing and turning for more than an hour.

In her sleep, she felt a familiar scent approaching. When she opened her eyes, she saw song Mian.

“I woke you up.”Song Mian was a little apologetic. She did not want to disturb her and was worried that she would not fall asleep. When she pushed open the door, she saw half of her blanket on the floor. She was worried that she would catch a cold.

“I didn’t sleep well.”Yun Xiangxiang sat up. “How is it?”

She turned on the dial and saw that it was two o’clock in the morning.

“We have been searching for the source of the disease at school for a long time, but we still haven’t found it.”Song Mian was silent for a while.

“The source of the disease is not at school?”Yun Xiangxiang was very surprised. “Then, isn’t there a place where people might get infected?”

“There is no other place. The source of the disease is at school, but it is not where I found it.”Song Mian shook his head.

Yun Xiangxiang frowned. “You mean someone dealt with it in advance?”

If that was the case, then the virus was not a coincidence. It was intentional. Who would be so heartless to their children.

Song Mian still shook his head. “The source of the virus is very likely to be the child who died.”

Yun Xiangxiang looked at Song Mian in shock. She understood why song Mian was in such a difficult position. There were too many people online who sympathized with the parents who had lost their children. Even the parents whose children were infected were united against the same enemy. They were all targeting the school.

If the virus were to be exposed at this time, the parents would probably have a breakdown. Some of them would not even believe it. They would rather believe that this was s.h.i.+rking responsibility, it was the powerful people who were bullying the poor people who had no power.

When that time came, there would be another wave of public opinion. Yun Xiangxiang felt a headache just thinking about it.

The key was that not only was Xue Yu involved in this matter, Song Mian was also involved.

“Who will be the one to issue the certificate?”Yun Xiangxiang asked.

“Of course, it will be the most authoritative hospital.”Knowing what Yun Xiangxiang was worried about, song Mian rubbed her head, “The song family only has a Chinese medicine clinic in China, there are no Western medicine hospitals. At most, they will partic.i.p.ate in the stock market. For example, Zhao Guibi’s Hospital is overseas. Therefore, this certificate will not implicate us.”

The reason why song Mian went to take a look was not because of Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu. This kind of thing could not be avoided unless he was not in Beijing. He would help give some advice, but he would not be the one to step in.

“Has the virus been suppressed?”Yun Xiangxiang asked again.

“Although it is a new virus, it is influenza-like. The mutation is not very big. The child who died was just delayed for too long. Otherwise, his life would not be in danger. The other children have been controlled. They can be discharged after a few days of observation in the hospital.”Song Mian nodded.

Yun Xiangxiang heaved a sigh of relief. At least there would be no more deaths this way. Yun Xiangxiang also felt uncomfortable looking at such a young life.

“You must be very tired. Go to bed early.”Yun Xiangxiang touched song Mian’s face.

“I haven’t changed the bed sheets upstairs.”Song Mian’s eyes were filled with madness.

If it were any other day, Yun Xiangxiang would not have bothered to talk to him. However, he had been too busy recently and had been busy for the whole day. Yun Xiangxiang s.h.i.+fted his position and gave him half of the bed. “Go Wash Up!”

After saying that, she fell down, pulled up the blanket, and closed her eyes to sleep.

Song Mian chuckled and turned around to leave.

Yun Xiangxiang did not know whether it was because she felt relieved or because song Mian had washed up for too long. In short, she had already fallen asleep and did not feel song Mian’s return. She had no idea when Song Mian had fallen asleep, so she slept until dawn.

In the past, when Yun Xiangxiang opened her eyes, Song Mian would not be by her side. This was the first time Yun Xiangxiang had opened her eyes, and he was still sleeping soundly. Yun Xiangxiang could not help but turn her head to the side. She supported her head with one hand and quietly looked at his peaceful sleeping face.

It was as clean as the clouds, as quiet as the Moon, as clear as jade. It was really tiring to look at.

The pair of eyes slowly opened, as if the Sun, moon, and stars were crushed.
