Chapter 1443: 1397 The More Treatment, the Heavier (Alliance Leader Eats, Sleeps, Reads, Listens to Music – Extra Chapter 4)

Zheng Ren left the pathology department, hearing Professor Rudolf Wagner beside him speaking in a genuine Northeast accent praising himself, and he felt a slight strangeness in his heart.

"Fugui'er." Zheng Ren suddenly said.

"Heh heh, Boss?"

"Why do I feel your attitude toward me has changed lately?" Zheng Ren asked.

Zheng Renye also just had a vague feeling, but it wasn't very clear.

"There's none." The professor's eyes flickered a bit, and he flatly denied.

Zheng Renye also didn't say anything; he couldn't possibly pin Professor Rudolf Wagner against the wall and interrogate him about what was going on.

After walking just a few steps, Su Yun's call came in.

"Boss, have you come out of the pathology department?"

"Just finished, what's up?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Zou Yu is in room 912, saying she wants to see you."

"Zou Yu? What does she want from me?" Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment, then recalled he still had a long-term task he'd accepted eight days ago that remained undone.

Thinking that there were still 52 days left on the task, which could possibly become surgical training time, Zheng Ren's spirits soared.

"Not only Zou Yu, but also a person named Qin Tang from the Qin family, presumably the patient's grandson." Su Yun said: "I've had them wait for you in the department; if you're free, go back. If you want to give them the cold shoulder for a while, you can go hang out with Zhou Litao."

……

"Tsk tsk, really dark, why would you idle away someone for no reason." Zheng Ren hung up the phone, thinking to himself.

For him, the task was one aspect; now that person named Qin Tang wasn't some wealthy heir, just a patient's relative.

The Big Pig Trotter gave the task but didn't specify details; there seemed to be something fishy, Zheng Ren thought.

The task was called "Memories in Dust," seemingly indicating the patient could always recall past events. But given the Big Pig Trotter's style, such a slightly literary task name rarely appeared.

By the way, Zheng Ren glanced at the main line quest—Fame Under Heaven, third stage. The progress bar had already grown to 455/1000.

After those professors went home a week ago, it seemed they had also started surgeries one after another; Zheng Ren felt relieved.

For such a task, it's explained clearly, plainly. Whereas Memories in Dust is vague.

Zheng Ren thought while walking back to the Intervention Department.

At the office door, Zou Yu was wearing casual clothes, chatting with a tall young man.

No one else was around them, just like two ordinary patient relatives, which differed from Zheng Ren's imagination of being accompanied by eight or ten black-suited attendants.

"Zheng Boss, long time no see." As Zheng Ren entered the Intervention Department, Zou Yu saw him and came forward.

"Miss Zou, greetings." Zheng Ren smiled and gave a greeting.

"You're really busy; a few days ago my father even said he'd use a private jet to take you to Xianggang to see Qin Old Master, but the hospital directly issued a death order to refuse." Zou Yu's eyes flickered, seeing a blond, blue-eyed foreigner behind Zheng Ren and not seeing Su Yun's figure, she felt slightly disappointed.

"Oh, I've been quite busy lately." Zheng Ren laughed.

After shaking hands with Zou Yu, Zou Yu introduced: "This is Qin Tang, the eldest grandson of Qin Old Master."

"Greetings."

"Doctor Zheng, sorry to disturb." Qin Tang was very gentle, just his Mandarin had a slight tongue-twist.

"No problem, I was just about to take some free time to come over." Zheng Ren said: "Come, please come in; has the patient's condition changed recently?"

Patient……

Upon hearing that word, Zou Yu and Qin Tang's expressions changed slightly.

But they both had deep scheming, so they instantly suppressed it and returned to normal.

The person in charge of the Qin family is called the patient; this title, they had never heard before. The doctors at Harmony Nurture, who doesn't respectfully call him Qin Old Mister?

"Please sit, tell me the current situation." Zheng Ren wore a gentle smile.

"Doctor Zheng, the relevant data, have you looked at it?" Qin Tang assumed a slightly humble posture, polite and courteous.

"I've looked at the earlier ones; according to the data, the doctors at Harmony Nurture tend toward Alzheimer's disease, saying they should receive light therapy?"

"Yes." Qin Tang said: "Just light therapy for a week, my grandfather's condition has been getting worse."

Zheng Ren frowned, asking: "Getting worse?"

"At first it was prolonged deep sleep, able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere."

"Gradually, after sleep began hallucinations; after treatment, the hallucination episodes lasted longer, each time grandfather's energy was exhausted before being forced to stop the abnormal behavior." Qin Tang briefly introduced.

Zheng Ren opened the computer Qin Tang handed over and began examining the recent data.

"Other medical experts at Harmony Nurture say the possibility of Alzheimer's is low; now they mainly consider it to be narcolepsy." Qin Tang said.

Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder of unknown cause, clinically characterized by irresistible short sleep attacks.

It is often accompanied by cataplexy, sleep paralysis, sleep hallucinations, etc., collectively known as the narcolepsy tetrad. The term narcolepsy was first coined by Gelineau in 1880, thus the disease is also called Gelineau syndrome.

From Qin Tang's description, Zheng Ren sensed that Qin Old Master's symptoms lacked sleep paralysis but had extremely strong sleep hallucinations.

Patients with narcolepsy themselves describe that after falling asleep they experience bizarre dreams.

All kinds of dreams are extremely vivid, like watching a movie, or like a genuine time travel.

Looking at the case, Zheng Ren fell silent.

He focused intently; the relevant imaging examinations in his mind began to reconstruct, seeking the source of the disease.

It shouldn't be narcolepsy, or also called acute onset hypersomnia. Based on Qin Tang's introduction, Zheng Ren rejected his previous judgment.

Truly a difficult case.

But Zheng Ren knew that, given the Big Pig Trotter's nature, it wouldn't assign him an unsolvable disease as a task.

Like Director Miao's trauma, the Big Pig Trotter deemed it hard to save, so it didn't issue a task.

Surely some problem was overlooked by the doctors at Harmony Nurture Hospital.

Zheng Ren earnestly examined the data; the faint light from the screen reflected on his face, spreading a halo of holy light.

Unlike the doctors he had seen, Qin Tang looked at Zheng Ren, thinking to himself.

Perhaps he really might have a solution; for a moment Qin Tang's hope greatly increased.

"Doctor Zheng is very professional." Zou Yu saw Zheng Ren chat briefly, then dove into the documents to look up, smiled, and said to Qin Tang: "My father's illness was thought to be a gu poison at the time, but in the end Doctor Zheng cured it."

Qin Tang nodded.

Just then, Su Yun walked in, and Zou Yu's eyes lit up instantly.

Su Yun greeted Zou Yu with a chuckle, then came over to look at the medical record.

"Boss, this patient's head CT shows age-related protein deposition, but it's quite normal," Professor Rudolf Wagner said while looking.

Zheng Ren was also puzzled; judging from the imaging data, there was no problem.

The EEG showed extreme brain excitement after sleep, the fluctuation was somewhat odd, and Zheng Ren couldn't yet say where it was odd.

"Why administer so much glucose?" Zheng Ren asked, looking at the thick medical order sheet.
