Chapter 772 The Panel

Shao Weimin said happily, “Well, please get ready first. I’ll go back to inform them.”

After that, he got into the Audi A6 at the door and hurried back to the Ministry of Health.

After Shao Weimin left, Su Hui came over and asked, “Haodong, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Qin Haodong briefly told her about the incident in Oxhorn Village, and then said, “I’m now a member of the panel, and I have to go to Yunnan Province as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing his words, Su Hui immediately reached out and grabbed his arm. “Haodong, I wanna come with you.”

“You’d better stay here. It’s very dangerous there.”

Su Hui had joined the Tang Sect, but Qin Haodong hadn’t had any time to help her improve her cultivation with the pair cultivation. At present, she was still an ordinary fragile girl.

“I don’t care. I want to be with you anyway.”

It was rare for Su Hui, who used to be quiet and calm, to act like a spoiled child today.

“Aren’t you afraid of being bitten by zombies?”

“I’m not afraid. You’ll be with me anyway.”

“Okay, I can take you with me, but you have to promise to follow my orders when you get there and never leave my sight.”

Qin Haodong finally agreed to take Su Hui with him. He thought that there was no problem to take care of Su Hui with his cultivation and that this was also a very rare experience for a doctor.

“Don’t worry. I won’t leave your sight.”

Su Hui put up a “Closed for Business” sign on the door and began to pack up happily.

Qin Haodong had planned to set off after informing his family, but now that had Su Hui joined in, the situation became more troublesome. Girls always take a lot of things with them when they go out.

20 minutes later, Qin Haodong put all the things that Su Hui had prepared into the Storage Ring, and then the two of them drove to the airport.

Donghui Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine was on the west side of the capital while the airport was on the east. They needed to travel across the whole downtown area of the capital to reach the airport. Even though Qin Haodong’s driving skills were superb, it took them more than half an hour to get through the city.

Seeing that the airport was only a dozen kilometers away, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment, the SUV that was driving alongside him suddenly changed course and slammed into his Range Rover.

It happened all of a sudden. It was a heavy crash, and both cars came to a stop in the middle of the road.

Qin Haodong was so angry that he slapped the steering wheel. The more anxious he was, the more likely an accident would happen. He was in a hurry to rush to the airport, but he got involved in a traffic accident.

He got out of the car and saw a tall middle-aged man with blood all over his head jump out of the car in front of him. He pointed at Qin Haodong and scolded, “What the hell is going on? Don’t you know how to drive?”

Although they were not close, Qin Haodong could still smell alcohol on his breath. How much did he drink?

They were still in a hurry to go to Yunnan Province. Qin Haodong had no time to pay attention to this drunkard. He pulled Su Hui and ran to the airport.

His car was so damaged that he could no longer drive it. Qin Haodong originally wanted to take a taxi, but they were near the airport. They were far away from the city, so it was impossible to take a taxi.

Su Hui was an ordinary girl without any cultivation. She was panting after just running a few hundred meters.

It was broad daylight, so he could not fly with his sword in public. He could only squat down and say to Su Hui, “Come on, I’ll carry you.”

Su Hui said, “How can I do that? There are still more than 10 kilometers left. I’d better walk by myself.”

“You’re too slow. Hurry up. We’re in a hurry.”

Qin Haodong carried Su Hui on his back and ran to the airport without saying anything else.

Running with a girl on his back was quite easy for Qin Haodong. But unfortunately, he did not dare to act too outrageously, so he could only move forward a little faster than ordinary people.

On a runway at the capital airport, a luxurious private plane was parked there, ready to set off.

There are already seven or eight people in the cabin, all of whom were members of the panel. They were going to rush to Yunnan Province, and the leader was Zhuo Bufan, vice president of the Central Hospital of the capital.

Holding a list in his hand, he glanced at the crew members in the cabin and said, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Zhuo Bufan, the leader of the panel.

“Now let me take a roll call to see if everyone is here.

“Ye Liying and Dong Anna from the Biochemistry Institute.”

“I’m here.”

The woman was in her 30s, wearing a pair of wire-gold glasses and looking extremely elegant. She had an intellectual beauty. She was Ye Liying, a researcher at the Biochemistry Institute.

Next to Ye Liying sat a coquettish woman in her 20s. Her name was Dong Anna, Ye Liying’s assistant. The assistants for such large events were generally chosen by the senior officials and they were here to gain experience. Most of them came from distinguished families, and Dong Anna was no exception.

Zhuo Bufan nodded and said again, “Wang Aimin and Guo Tao from the Biological Research Center, are you here?”

“Yes, sir, we’re here.”

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was Wang Aimin, a scientist of the Biological Research Center. A young man in his 20s was sitting next to him. He was his assistant, Guo Tao.

Compared with Wang Aimin, who was calm, Guo Tao seemed to be a lot more frivolous. His eyes drifted over Dong Anna’s snow-white thighs from time to time.

Zhuo Bufan continued, “Zhao Meng, chief physician of the Central Hospital.”

“Here!”

The voice was extremely loud, and it was answered by a young man in his 30s sitting next to Zhuo Bufan. He was Zhuo’s assistant.

After making sure that all the above experts were there, Zhuo Bufan finally frowned and said, “Sun Fengqing and Sun Bowei of traditional Chinese medicine.”

Although he had seen Qin Haodong’s amazing medical skills yesterday, he still rejected traditional Chinese medicine.

“I’m here!”

The speaker was an old man in his 70s. It was Sun Fengqing, the head of the Medicine King Clinic. Although he was an old man with white hair, he had a youthful face and was full of vigor. Beside him was a young man, his grandson Sun Bowei.

“Qin Haodong, Su Hui, are you here?”

Zhuo Bufan had already seen Qin Haodong’s name, but he put him last in the last call. He was filled with resentment at the young man who had stripped off his coat yesterday.

But there was dead silence in the cabin, and no one answered.

Zhuo Bufan called them again, but there was still no response.

Zhao Meng stood up, counted all the people in the cabin, and then said, “Leader, we’ve already checked the names of all those who are present. Qin Haodong and Su Hui haven’t arrived yet.”

Zhuo Bufan’s face immediately darkened. “That’s outrageous. How could he be late for such an important mission? Does he show any respect for the mission?”

Zhao Meng joined the panel because of his connections with the higher-ups. Although this guy didn’t have much real ability, his flattery skills were first class.

Although he had never seen Qin Haodong or even heard of this name, he could see Zhuo Bufan’s disgust for this person. He immediately said, “That’s right. He is too outrageous. Even a big shot as busy as the team leader has arrived on time. How dare they be late?”

Ye Liying said, “We’re in a hurry this time. It’s inevitable that someone might be a few minutes late. Let’s wait a little longer.”

Zhuo Bufan snorted and didn’t say anything else.

Since nearly everyone was there, they began to chat unconsciously.

This was a private plane. Although it was spacious, there were not many seats. But it came with leather upholstery, which was even more comfortable than the sofa in their home.

Dong Anna patted the leather seat under her and exclaimed, “This plane is so luxurious. I wonder who the owner is.”

Ye Liying was sitting next to her, but she was obviously not too fond of her assistant. She turned her head to the window and did not say anything.

Guo Tao from the other side immediately came over and said, “I agree. The owner must be a super-rich person in the capital. Minister Shao has a wide network of contacts so that he can borrow this kind of private plane to help us finish the task in time.”

Other people also kept looking at the luxurious decoration of this private plane. There were all kinds of household facilities such as a TV and refrigerator. A small bar was at the end of the plane, and all kinds of high-end wines were placed in the wine cabinet.

As the elites of scientific research and medical talents, they would always choose first class when taking a plane, but this was the first time for them to take such a luxurious private jet.

As they were chatting with each other, another 20 minutes had passed. Zhuo Bufan became angrier. It would have been fine if someone else had been late, but it was Qin Haodong, which enraged him.

Sensing his emotion, Zhao Meng said, “Leader, I don’t think we should wait for him any longer. He shows no respect for your mission and discipline. If he comes with us to Yunnan, he would only get us into trouble.”

Guo Tao also seemed to be impatient. He immediately said, “That’s right. How can he be so late? It’s a waste of time to wait for him.”

At this moment, Ye Liying, who had been staring out of the window, said, “Don’t worry, everyone. It seems that they are coming.”

The people in the cabin looked out of the window and saw Qin Haodong carrying a beautiful woman on his back. He strode toward the plane and soon entered the boarding gate.

Qin Haodong ran all the way with Su Hui on his back and finally got on the plane. He smiled and said apologetically, “Sorry for being late. There was a little accident on the road.”

“Is an apology enough? Do you know what this operation is? It’s an emergency. Why are you late?”

Zhuo Bufan had been holding back for a long time, and now he finally let out all his anger.

Qin Haodong frowned, but when he thought of what Shao Weimin had told him about the overall situation, he apologized once again. “I’m sorry, something big really came up. Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”

Zhao Meng shouted, “If apologies helped, we wouldn’t need the police! Do you realize the importance of this mission? If we arrive at the disaster area one minute later, the consequences will be more serious. Can you bear the consequences?”

Seeing that Qin Haodong was dressed in ordinary clothes and was not old enough, Guo Tao did not take him seriously. “I hate people who are late,” Guo said. “You are wasting other people’s time.”

Dong Anna didn’t care about being late at first, but when she saw Su Hui, who was so beautiful that no flaws could be found, she became jealous and said, “I don’t think anything special came up. Maybe they were just loving each other too much.”

Hearing their endless sarcasm, Su Hui was irritated and said angrily, “In order to get here on time, we had a crash with someone, and our car is still on the road now. Besides, Haodong has already apologized twice. What else do you want?”

“Oh, how can you be so self-righteous after making a mistake?” Dong Anna said, “Although we are temporary panel, we must have our own rules. I don’t think people like you who have no discipline should work with us.”

After seeing Su Hui, a look of surprise flashed across Zhao Meng’s eyes. However, considering Zhuo Bufan, who was standing beside him, he said, “I agree. I don’t think such a person with no concept of time is worthy of staying in our panel. We should expel him.”
