Chapter 1848: Treating the Symptoms, Not the Root Cause

Liu Xin'ai continued, "Bringing this device here is just to try it out; fortunately, it can alleviate Wanyi's headaches."

Jiang Motian raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "It can only alleviate them?"

"Yes."

"Then Wanyi... will he be unable to live without this device for the rest of his life?"

"He is still young; it is too early to talk about a lifetime."

"If he encounters other situations and gets a headache too? Will this device become ineffective then?"

Jiang Motian's successive assumptions made Liu Xin'ai sigh softly.

Then she said, "Don't think about too many hypothetical problems; you are just looking for trouble."

Jiang Motian did not want to let her imagination run wild either.

But...

Jiang Motian lowered her head and murmured softly, "I want to get a definitive answer."

"What definitive answer?"

"That Wanyi can be fine, that his headache condition can be cured at the root!"

Jiang Motian admitted that her request was a bit willful.

But she was like a drowning person clutching a piece of driftwood; she had pinned all her hopes on that driftwood...

Liu Xin'ai watched Jiang Motian quietly.

After a while, she said, "I'm sorry, with my current abilities, I cannot give you the result you want."

The elder's apology made Jiang Motian feel apprehensive.

She quickly said, "I should be the one apologizing for thinking about things too simply."

"You are a family member of the patient, so it is normal to think simply; in my work, I also often encounter family members of patients who ask us for promises."

After a brief pause in her tone, Liu Xin'ai smiled helplessly: "But in medicine, where is there a one-hundred-percent safe result?"

Jiang Motian lowered her eyes to listen, appearing very docile.

But her fingers pinched unconsciously.

After letting go of her fingers, Jiang Motian spoke the knot in her heart: "I know everything you said, I just don't understand... why does fate always have to torture Wanyi..."

"Torture... it exists, but there are also times when it shows extraordinary mercy."

Extraordinary mercy?

Jiang Motian looked at Liu Xin'ai in confusion.

Liu Xin'ai saw her bewilderment and began to slowly express her thoughts:

"Wanyi's start was not good, but he met you; you are like his salvation."

"Although he encounters difficulties, the friends around him are willing to devise strategies for him and go through fire and water."

"Look, even that proud brother of yours has been won over by him."

"And..."

Liu Xin'ai spoke unhurriedly.

And the reasons she gave made Jiang Motian slowly calm down.

When Liu Xin'ai's final words fell, Jiang Motian's chest did not feel as tight anymore.

She also realized that she had indeed been splitting hairs just now.

Clearly, things had already developed quite well, but she insisted on picking at a point of dissatisfaction and magnifying it infinitely.

This kind of mindset is not advisable.

She should also be more optimistic.

Jiang Motian patted her cheeks to cheer herself up.

Then, she smiled and said to Liu Xin'ai, "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Auntie Xin'ai."

Liu Xin'ai could see the relief in Jiang Motian's eyes, which had regained their brightness.

This made Liu Xin'ai also show a smile, and she said, "Silly girl, why are you still thanking me."

"Then for the next period of time, I will accompany Wanyi well and keep his emotions stable."

As for that...

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and gave the opposite suggestion: "There is no need for that; you should argue when you need to argue and bicker when you need to bicker. Or, you can even pick fights on purpose."

Huh?

Jiang Motian was stunned by what she heard.

She was still considering whether Auntie Xin'ai was joking on purpose...

But Liu Xin'ai's expression was very serious.

It didn't look like she was joking at all.

So...

What is the truth exactly!?

Jiang Motian was completely confused.

Seeing Jiang Motian's eyes widen as she stared at her unblinkingly, Liu Xin'ai guessed that the little girl hadn't understood her meaning.

Immediately, Liu Xin'ai explained: "Didn't you just say that Xie Wanyi might have headaches under different emotions?"

This time, Jiang Motian suddenly realized!

She continued Liu Xin'ai's words and said, "You need to observe what reactions he will have under different stimuli?!"

"Yes, that is exactly my thought!"

Jiang Motian finally found the answer, and the fog in her mind gradually dissipated.

However, upon second thought, the more she pondered, the more something felt wrong.

She even muttered to herself: "Why does it feel... like I'm being used for an experiment?"

Liu Xin'ai heard this muttering.

However, she did not deny it.

She only sighed and said: "Wanyi's condition is rare to see in the entire medical field! If one encounters it in their lifetime and cannot study it thoroughly, it would be a regret!"

When Liu Xin'ai said this, her eyes revealed a yearning for the unknown.

That yearning was like two tiny flames.

It made Liu Xin'ai look like a completely different person.

Jiang Motian stared at Liu Xin'ai without blinking, feeling that...

At this moment, Aunt Xin'ai was a bit like a mad scientist.

Soon, Liu Xin'ai also realized her abruptness and said to Jiang Motian: "Sorry, I lost my composure."

Jiang Motian moved her lips, about to speak.

But from behind the two of them, a familiar voice came first: "This isn't losing your composure, but researching in this direction will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Motian and Liu Xin'ai turned their heads in unison.

Then, they saw Jiang Baobao.

Liu Xin'ai did not expect Jiang Baobao to appear.

But at this moment, she did not care at all why her good friend had come.

She was only interested in what Jiang Baobao had said: "What do you mean by treating the symptoms but not the root cause? Do you know something?"

Believe it or not, Jiang Baobao really did know.

After learning about Xie Wanyi's situation, Jiang Baobao had used her own methods to collect all kinds of information.

She had also uncovered some inside information regarding the Chip in his brain.

She discovered that an Organization had once wanted to use the Chip to control others, but the mortality rate was too high, so it was not widely promoted.

However, Jiang Baobao had found the manual left behind by the Chip's developer.

That manual was ten centimeters thick.

Through searching, Jiang Baobao found the new situation that Xie Wanyi was encountering.

But it didn't provide a solution, only mentioning that each Chip had a unique frequency band.

So, if they used the machine Liu Xin'ai had borrowed to simulate the frequency band, would that solve the problem?

Jiang Baobao told Liu Xin'ai all the information and speculations she knew.

After listening, Liu Xin'ai's eyes immediately lit up.

She felt it was feasible!

But the next second...

Liu Xin'ai put away her excitement and asked a crucial question: "Where can we get this frequency band?"

While her mother was explaining, Jiang Motian listened quietly the entire time.

At this moment, she stated her own speculation: "The frequency band data should have been handed over to Li Shu along with the Chip."

"So, we just need to find him to conduct a transaction, right?"

Jiang Motian first nodded.

Then she frowned and said uncertainly: "I just don't know if he would keep that data."

Jiang Baobao gave a definitive answer: "Given his cautious style of doing things, he would definitely keep it well."
