Chapter 40 Disciples (4)
Zhou Shijin was going crazy.

Academia, media, leadership... The pressure is like a tsunami and avalanche. In one week, he bears more pressure than his entire life combined.

The phone rang again, and the caller was from an unfamiliar number, and the area code belonged to Wucheng.

"How many times have I told you that the signature is forged, please consult a lawyer!" No matter who it is, it is difficult to maintain demeanor in the face of dozens or hundreds of calls a day.It must be from that bullshit pharmaceutical factory. Zhou Shijin has blocked countless numbers, but it still lingers there like a fly smelling blood.

"I'm sorry, is this Mr. Zhou Shijin?" The female voice from the phone was polite and cold, not the staff of Haihuang Pharmaceutical Factory that he was tired of hearing.

"Hello, I am." Zhou Shijin suppressed his emotions.

"Mr. Zhou, our office is Wucheng TEDA Insurance Company. We have something very important to inform you..."

"Did you make a wrong call? I haven't insured in Wucheng."

"Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. You are not the insured, but a Mr. Yu Yang, and your name is written in the column of his beneficiary."

The previous one was a collection note, now it is insurance, what else is there next?
"Mr. Zhou, are you still there? If it's convenient, I would trouble you to come to Wucheng in the near future."

"Why are you going to Wucheng?"

"I'm really sorry, but our company attaches great importance to Mr. Yang's insurance business, please take time..."

The other party reported an amount that was enough to make ordinary people faint, even Zhou Shijin couldn't help but stare when he heard it.This insurance compensation can not only fully fill the gaps of Neptune Pharmaceuticals, but also enough to make an ordinary family live comfortably for a lifetime...Yu Yang, what are you doing?
There are too many questions in Zhou Shijin's mind, so he can only solve them one by one: "Wait, I want to ask, when is the insurance period for Lao Yu?"

The rustling sound of flipping through the documents came from the receiver, "Mr. Yu has been insured since three years ago."

three years ago?It was shortly after that academic conference!Could it be that Yu Yang had already made up his mind at that time?

First, he invested a huge amount of insurance like a prophet. Three years later, he was transferred to Zhoucheng for medical treatment because of cancer, and died on the operating table of a top expert...

Not only will the insurance company find no reason to refuse the claim, and the brothers who can't take care of themselves will have a good life in the next life, but it will also discredit the academic opponents, killing three birds with one stone and being perfect.

However, if he had such a plan, why did he choose me, Zhou Shijin, as the beneficiary?This money exceeds my income for decades to come, and it is enough to make up for the loss of my reputation.Isn't he afraid of me swallowing it alone?

An extremely thoughtful person would never make such an obvious mistake.Zhou Shijin decided to go to Wucheng, not only for insurance, but also to discover all the secrets hidden by Chuyang.

The insurance company was just a routine matter. Although Zhou Shijin got a generous compensation, Zhou Shijin didn't get any other useful information.

He didn't even eat, and rushed to the next location: Yu Yang's apartment.

Yu Yang lives on the top floor of a high-rise building by the river, so he must have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Wucheng.

Zhou Shijin knocked on the anti-theft door, and after a while, the small window on the door rolled down.The woman in the door was around 50, with suspicion written all over her face.

"you are?"

"Hello, is this Yu Yang's house? I'm Yu Yang's classmate, I just came from Zhoucheng..."

Before he could finish speaking, the small window snapped shut.

"Doctor Zhou, please go back. Xu Ping told me everything, you are not welcome here."

Through the door, Zhou Shijin heard the woman crying softly.

Neither of Yu Yang's brothers are married, and the woman has worked as a nanny for many years at Yu's family, and has a deep relationship with the two brothers.

From the cat's eyes, she saw Zhou Shijin walking into the safe passage with his head down.

She took a moment to stabilize her emotions, then took the prepared lunch box and went out.

In the dark safe passage, Zhou Shijin watched Yu's nanny walk into the elevator.He returned to the door of Yu's house, opened the door of the fire cabinet, and groped behind the fire hydrant.

When he was in college, Yu Yang had a spare key, which was always hidden in the fire cabinet.His habit has not changed, Zhou Shijin quickly found the key.

Open the door, and the simple and stylish Nordic style decoration comes into view.

Yu Yang likes simple and direct things. Is there anything he can't tell himself clearly, so he has to choose to go around in a big circle?

Perhaps, the answer can be found in his residence.

Zhou Shijin pushed open the door of a bedroom.Compared with the living room, this place is much more cluttered, and the bookcases are full of medical books.It must be Yu Yang's living room. The documents he read during his lifetime are still spread out on the table, as if he is still waiting for the master to return after get off work.

In addition to books, it is medicine.He recognized the hormonal drugs that boosted metabolism, and although he didn't know two, they were the same as the ones he found in the drawer of Yuyang's ward: Dust.I don't know what meaning does it have in Yu Yang's dictionary?
There is also a Shiva figurine paperweight on the table.Zhou Shijin remembered what Yu Yang said: Destruction and creation go hand in hand.But Yu Yang is dead... What kind of creation does his destruction breed?
He removed the figurine, and beneath the paperweight was an open photocopy of the medical record.Zhou Shijin read it hastily, and the medical record should describe Yu Yang's condition: lung cancer, in the middle stage.

After closing the medical record, he subconsciously glanced at the name on the cover, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

Yu Fei!

Could it be that Yu Fei also got cancer?
Zhou Shijin sat down and looked through the medical records carefully. Yu Fei's condition was very similar to Yu Yang's, but he became ill a year earlier than Yu Yang.

It turned out to be like this...

Yu Fei and Yu Yang are identical twins. They are very similar in genetics. There are many reports of identical twins passing away within a few hours at home and abroad.Cancer is largely determined by genetics, so it is not surprising that the two brothers suffered from lung cancer one after another.

Is it just that?

Zhou Shijin stretched his legs, he kicked something.

Under the table, there was an unsealed postal package.

Zhou Shijin's address was written on the parcel.

After Zhou Shijin looked at the contents of the postal bag, his mood could no longer be described as "shocked".

The mailbag contained Yu Yang's research materials and personal diary.From the diary, Zhou Shijin really got to know his old classmates for the first time.

From the perspective of others, I had already climbed the sky after graduating from medical school.But in my heart, there is an unknown story.

Many years ago, a pair of twin children fell ill.At that time, the family could no longer afford the medical expenses of the two children.One child was lucky enough to be admitted to the hospital and recovered quickly.The other child had a high fever for several nights. Although he survived by chance, his intelligence remained the same forever.

The lucky child made up his mind to be a doctor after he became sensible.In a sense, he was "created" by the destruction of another child.Such an achievement was so painful that he could not derive any pleasure from it.And now, he finally has a chance to use his curtain call to kick off another person...

That child is me.Now, I want to let my brother survive at all costs.

That's why Yu Yang took the medicine to promote metabolism to make himself sick before Yu Fei. He also invested a huge amount of insurance money, which not only guaranteed his brother's life for the rest of his life, but was also enough to advance medical expenses.

Zhou Shijin appreciates Yu Yang's sacrifice and effort for brotherhood, but this effort and sacrifice may be hopeless, just like Sisyphus who kept pushing the stone but couldn't push it to the top of the mountain.To fight against cancer, where did Yu Yang go?
and many more!

Looking through Yu Fei's medical records, Zhou Shijin found that Yu Fei was taking common anti-cancer drugs. In his drug list, there were no two drugs that Yu Yang took: Dust and another drug whose label had been torn off.

Yu Yang asked Yu Fei to receive routine treatment in the hospital, while he not only took experimental drugs, but also came up with a surgical plan...

He is doing a medical experiment, and the subject of the experiment is himself!
Everyone has blind spots in their thinking, and Zhou Shijin is the same.Under the existing medical conditions, Zhou Shijin's almost perfect medical method could not save Yu Yang's life, so inferring from the reverse, Yu Yang's plan may be correct!
Removing the organs, leaving behind the cancerous tissue... Zhou Shijin's heart was icy cold.Now, it's not that he doesn't want to believe Yu Yang, but it's against the common sense of cancer.If Yu Yang's hypothesis is the truth, then the foundation of cancer science will be subverted, and that hypothesis will become a brand new discipline.

Zhou Shijin recalled that there was another clue that had been ignored——

"If I can't survive, you can cut off my lesion and give it to others to study. It can be regarded as my last contribution to medicine."
