When the Doctor Uses A Hack-Chapter 723: for Alliance Hierarch II0505)

Indeed!

By this time, most people had already believed Professor Du’s diagnosis.

Because in their eyes, taking on an entirely different persona to speak and act was something very strange indeed.

Wang Qian also widened his eyes, watching the robber in disbelief.

He never thought he would actually encounter such a thing in real life!

At this moment, the man really woke up.

He seemed uneasy, covering his face with his hands, his fingers threading through his hair, which was a mess of granny gray.

Right now, there was no way he could run away.

Zhang Keqin was the first to speak, "Do you have anything else you want to say, Yuan Hui?"

Wang Qian guessed that if Yuan Hui had something to say at this moment, he would definitely blame the screenwriter for causing trouble!

After all, I’ve been watching you like a professional TV series, and you son of a gun actually tricked me...

Yuan Hui didn’t make a sound, and Zhang Keqin couldn’t help but say, "Wu Gang, take him away, let’s head back to the station first."

"About this, thank you directors for your busy effort in making a clear diagnosis, I really appreciate it. I never expected to run into such a thing today."

After speaking, Zhang Keqin sneered, "You little brat, what are you still doing here? Addicted to being hospitalized?"

The world is so vast, and nothing is too bizarre!

There really is every kind of person in this world.

Just recently there was someone who believed they were a time traveler, even someone who thought getting struck by lightning could transport them to another world.

Who would have thought television could have the same effect, making one truly believe they could feign an illness?

This isn’t any Mirror syndrome; it’s an Actor syndrome!

However, why is his progress bar still stuck at forty-five percent?

Could there be... more to the story?

Just as Zhang Keqin was about to take Yuan Hui away, Yuan Hui suddenly began to speak:

"I... actually do feel like I’m mentally ill." Yuan Hui said with his head bowed, slowly letting out a sigh.

"Lately, I don’t know what’s happening, but I keep feeling like there are people talking in my ear."

"Even to the point where I feel like I have hallucinations, I know they’re hallucinations... but sometimes I just can’t control myself."

Saying this, Yuan Hui looked up at Zhang Keqin: "I know you don’t believe I’m a good person, and I have a bunch of criminal records, but... what I’m saying is true."

"I didn’t go out today planning to rob anyone; I wanted to buy a fruit knife. But as I passed by the gold shop, I felt like I really entered that hallucination, and I wanted to rob it."

"If I were really planning on robbing, do you think we’d stupidly choose such a bustling street and gold shop?"

Zhang Keqin sneered, "Don’t try to play tricks with me, whether you have a problem or not, you do not get to decide."

"If you’re really mentally ill, I’ll have you sent to a psychiatric hospital for management."

Upon hearing Zhang Keqin’s words, Yuan Hui said helplessly, "I’m telling the truth."

After Yuan Hui finished speaking, Chen Cang suddenly asked, "Why do you have such hallucinations? Have you had any illnesses before, or taken any medication?"

Yuan Hui turned to look at Chen Cang and after a moment of contemplation, a few minutes passed: "I often go to nightclubs, and occasionally I do ’balloons’, but that stuff is too expensive, I can’t afford it!

Later someone got me started on cough syrup, I don’t dare touch the pure stuff, but I thought cough syrup was pretty good."

Chen Cang heard the news about the cough syrup once again and his eyes immediately lit up—he clearly saw the progress bar increase by 2%!

There must be a clue here.

With that thought, Chen Cang suddenly asked, "Cough syrup? Which kind are you using?"

Yuan Hui naturally responded, "It’s not a domestic brand; we don’t fancy those. It’s a foreign one, but it has recently become available in the country. It used to be brought back by friends, it’s called VOLB company’s cough syrup."

Upon hearing the company’s name, Chen Cang took out his phone from his pocket and showed it to the man, asking, "Is it this one?"

The man looked at Chen Cang’s phone and immediately nodded, "Yes, that’s the one!"

Chen Cang now understood. After hesitating for a moment, he glanced at Zhang Keqin, "Can we take his blood and run some tests?"

Zhang Keqin was taken aback—they definitely wouldn’t stop him from doing so.

But it depended on whether Yuan Hui was willing!

At that moment, Yuan Hui’s eyes sparkled. He was no fool. He hadn’t dared to come to the hospital for a checkup when he felt unwell before, simply because he had no money. Now, someone was offering to check him for free—how could he not be happy?

Du Juanhong and Lu Xin also looked at Chen Cang with a puzzled expression, somewhat unclear about his intentions.

As the nurse came to draw blood, Chen Cang explained:

"I encountered a patient yesterday, in his twenties, with no history of chronic illness, but he had been taking this cough syrup for a long time. He suddenly suffered a pulmonary embolism and acute cerebral infarction. Director Du, you have seen the case."

Du Juanhong’s eyes brightened, "You’re speaking of Yu Yi?"

Chen Cang nodded, "Exactly, he had been taking this VOLB company’s cough syrup for a long time. I’m now suspecting that long-term use of this syrup not only produces hallucinations, but might also damage vascular endothelial cells and form emboli."

As soon as Chen Cang said this, Du Juanhong’s eyes also lit up.

At that moment, Chen Cang opened the booklet on VOLB company’s cough syrup, which listed adverse reactions, contraindications, and sequelae, but there was no mention of diseases like endothelial damage, cerebral infarction, or myocardial infarction.

It should be noted that cough syrup circulates on the market as a form of medication, not merely as an amusement for some individuals.

Most of the time, it’s actually used to suppress coughs.

However, if a patient already has high-risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, this cough syrup could undoubtedly exacerbate the damage to the vascular endothelium, triggering an episode of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.

If that were the case, the widespread use of this cough syrup could have an extremely adverse impact on society.

As for the hallucinations and long-term use of whatever—he put these issues aside for the time being, as high doses are inherently a mistake, unrelated to the drug itself.

What concerned Chen Cang was... whether taking this medication in normal doses could trigger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?

With this thought, Chen Cang’s expression became stern.

Perhaps!

He might now understand what the "truth" behind the system’s hidden mission meant!

It was very likely that the system was guiding him to uncover and investigate the deficiencies of the cough syrup!

If that was truly the case, Chen Cang suddenly began to feel uneasy.

The third patient must be related to the cough syrup, specifically one produced by this company named VOLB.

As to whether the particular research objective was endothelial damage or something else, Chen Cang was still not entirely clear.

Maybe, once the results of Yuan Hui’s blood test and examination came back, everything would be explained.

After the blood draw was complete, Wang Qian and Wu Gang took him to get an MRI scan of the head.

They obviously could not go with the handcuffs on, so Wu Gang went along with another officer.
