Chapter 163: Wang Xu's Name Rises in Jiangzhou (Five Watches Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  These few hours have been a rollercoaster for Wang Xu, the infectious disease he was worried about did not occur, and he thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly the condition of the sick people changed again.

  Although the water quality test results showed no infectious viruses, the number of people who fell ill was still enormous. When he arrived, the initial estimate of the number of people had already exceeded 300, and it should be even more now.

  After all, it was the drinking water in the family that caused the trouble. The number of residents in nearby communities who do not drink tap water is definitely a minority. Except for some physical problems, the remaining number of people cannot be ignored.

  When Wang Xu rushed to Fusheng Hall, he was startled by the crowd at the door. The wide entrance of Fusheng Hall had set up a canopy for some unknown reason, and underneath it were rows and rows of chairs filled with people.

  Zhao Kai Zheng anxiously waited by the roadside, and when he saw Wang Xu driving back, he hastily went up to him: "Master, these nearby patients who are sick only believe in you, and are unwilling to go to the hospital. They have all gathered at the clinic, with nearly five hundred people."

  "Hmm!" Upon hearing Zhao Kai's words, Wang Xu's eyebrows furrowed instantly. He had never thought that such a situation would arise. Five hundred people, how could his Fusheng Hall accommodate them?

  It's noon now, the sun is shining brightly, although there is a canopy, it's still very hot outside. If this continues, the situation won't improve, and if I get heatstroke again, things will be even more dire.

  "Dr. Wang, how's the situation? What did that water company say?" Zhao Kai was saying this to Wang Xu when a resident who was taking care of their family nearby came over and asked.

  "The situation has been investigated clearly, it was caused by the contamination of sewage during the maintenance of the water supply pipeline. Someone is already investigating and will give everyone a fair result." Wang Xu said.

  "Dr. Wang, we trust you, although you've only been here for three months, but your actions and character, we've all witnessed them." someone said sincerely.

  "It's just that we trust Dr. Wang, if it weren't for you, we would still be in the dark." The crowd around nodded in agreement.

  "Neighbors, please listen to me." Wang Xu walked into the crowd and said loudly: "I understand everyone's mood. However, this is a critical moment, and it's easy to get heatstroke here at any time. If the condition worsens due to heat, it will be severe. I know you trust me, and I'm touched, but Fusheng Hall is too small after all. Mayor Luo has already been informed of this matter, so everyone can rest assured and go to the hospital. I have a plan in place and will inform the hospital in time. I guarantee that every patient will recover."

  "Yes, Dr. Wang said that we are indeed inconvenient here, and Dr. Wang said that he will let everyone recover, everyone must believe in Dr. Wang." The person in charge of maintaining the continuity of a small district on this side also spoke loudly.

  So many people gathered at the entrance of Fusheng Hall, causing a great impact. Next to it is a road with vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, seeing this scene are all guessing.

  With Wang Xu's guarantee, and after some persuasion from others, the residents surrounding the entrance were reluctantly sent to a nearby hospital by their families. Some people inside the clinic were also taken away, and Fusheng Hall was finally emptied out, leaving only those with severe conditions behind.

  As he walked into the clinic, Wang Xu didn't even have time to take a sip of water before walking up to a patient. Upon examination, the patient was already listless and weak, with a scorching hot forehead, flushed face, and numerous small red spots on his arms and body.

  After a careful examination and taking the pulse, Wang Xu finally let out a sigh of relief. This was a case of food poisoning combined with an allergic reaction caused by drinking too much contaminated tap water. Those who drank less only had a simple fever and dizziness.

  Prescribed medicine for several patients, Zhao Kai and Peng Shan helped to prepare the medicine, gave it to a few people to take, Wang Xu finally had time to catch his breath, looked at the time, it was already 12:30.

  These patients' homes have water supply problems and cannot cook, so Wang Xu called Bainong Xing again to order some boxed meals, which were eaten by the accompanying family members and patients. The three of them also ate some casually.

  Not long after dinner, Luo Tongquan's phone call came over, inquiring about the progress of Wang Xu's patient's condition, and also explaining Hong Man's investigation to Wang Xu.

  It goes without saying that Bi Qing is not to be blamed, but the middle-aged manager who concealed the truth was directly captured, causing such a big commotion, and should be punished. It's just that it's hard to say anything about Hong Man's side.

  Hongman is a French-funded enterprise in France, and the person in charge of Zhongjiang at present is also a Frenchman. They are making excuses one after another, firmly refusing to acknowledge the pollution situation they have caused. As for the occupation of pipelines, they say that they have already paid Biqing, and it was received by that middle-aged manager.

  "Mayor Luo said that even foreign-funded enterprises cannot pollute China's environment at will, let alone cause such serious losses." Wang Xu said with a huff.

  "I know this, their problem is something we will naturally investigate, I'm just telling you." Luo Tongquan stated: "This time the matter is so serious, absolutely cannot be condoned."

  "That's good, I won't be able to intervene in the following matters, and the nearby residents can wait for the city government's response." Wang Xu said with a faint smile.

  "Alright, I understand the weight of this. You don't have to use public opinion to coerce me, after all, I am still a servant of the people of Zhongjiang." Luo Tongquan's voice was somewhat despondent, and it was clear that this matter would not be easy to handle.

  After hanging up the phone with Luo Tongquan, Wang Xu checked on the condition of several patients in the clinic again and found that they had started to recover. At the same time, Tang Fei also brought news that the patients who were transferred to the provincial hospital and other hospitals had also begun to recover. With this, Wang Xu finally felt completely at ease.

  It wasn't until 8 pm that the hustle and bustle subsided, with patients at the clinic basically recovering normally, the spots on their bodies completely disappearing, and other hospitals also reporting all patients recovered and discharged, this time's incident was temporarily settled.

  At the same time, the Water Bureau and Biqing cooperated to test all tap water. The tap water pipes leading to Dongxin Community were also flushed and treated. By 9 pm, the tap water had returned to normal.

  After sending away all the patients, Wang Xu and Zhao Kai Peng Shan three people sat in the clinic panting, today they were basically exhausted.

  Although the burden was not light, Wang Xu's mood was actually quite good. Things were not as bad as he had imagined, all the patients who had fallen ill had basically recovered normally, and Tang Fei's test results had also come out, there would be no serious situation.

  Although it was a false alarm, this time no one dared to take it lightly. Five or six hundred people fell ill collectively, and the news even reached Han Guanglin's ears. Han Guanglin took it very seriously, and the evening edition of Jiangzhou Daily also published an in-depth report, with Wang Xu's name even appearing on it.

  Jiangzhou Evening News. Han Guanglin personally made a statement on this matter, and all participants in the matter, whoever they are, will be investigated one by one and dealt with, without any tolerance.

  At the same time, Han Guanglin also praised and affirmed Wang Xu for his great efforts in this matter, personally pointing out the three words "Fu Sheng Tang".

  Although Wang Xu refused an interview with a reporter in the afternoon, the news still showed the sign of Fushengtang and a side view of Wang Xu.

  "Wang Xu, this time in Zhongjiang you can be considered thoroughly famous." Looking at the newspaper, Peng Shan smiled and said to Wang Xu.

  "I'd rather not have this kind of fame, being a savior. It means that disaster has occurred, and heroes emerge, which also means that evil has emerged. If my fame is built on such circumstances, I'm really not interested." Wang Xu sighed with a bitter smile, if the worst result were to happen, even if he were to become famous nationwide, what would be the point?

  "Wang Xu, to be honest. I really admire this one thing about you, your calmness is not at all consistent with your age." Peng Shan nodded, having been classmates with Wang Xu for many years, he was the most familiar with Wang Xu's temperament.

  "I would rather have the medicine on the shelf gather dust, than let people all over the world fall ill." Overnight, Fusheng Hall, along with the couplet at its entrance, became known to most of the people in Zhongjiang and even the entire Jiangzhou.

  If it were before, someone saw such a couplet, the most would be sneered at or thought that Wang Xu was seeking fame and fortune. However, from today on, anyone who understands the inside story of this matter will see this couplet with heartfelt admiration.

  The residents of the nearby community are even more reverent and respectful of Wang Xu, and this time with so many people falling ill, they initially used Fu Sheng Tang's medicine. With too many people to care for, Zhao Kai and Peng Shan were busy tending to the patients and didn't have the heart to collect medical fees.

  The medicine from Fusheng Hall was almost all used up, but Wang Xu didn't take a single penny. At first, the patients' families also forgot about it and only remembered later that they hadn't paid Dr. Wang's medical fee.

  It started with one or two people, and gradually more and more people found out that everyone had forgotten to pay Dr. Wang's medical bill, but Wang Xu didn't mention a word about it.

  Although the residents nearby voluntarily gave Wang Xu the money and sent it over on the second day, Wang Xu also collected it according to the standard, but the impact of this matter was very far-reaching.

  After this incident, Wang Xu's popularity in Zhongjiang Jiangyi District reached an all-time high. In front of the residents of several residential areas in nearby Dongxin District, no one dared to speak ill of Wang Xu.

  The world has its own justice, Wang Xu does what he should do, does what he can do, without asking for reward or fame, but the eyes of the masses are bright and clear, most people's hearts are kind and upright, they will always remember others' kindness.

  On the third day after the incident, under the mediation of Han Guanglin, the Jiangzhou Provincial Committee and Provincial Government took a firm stance and conducted an investigation into the entire Hongman Group. All indirect participants in the water pollution over the past two days were arrested and interrogated. At the same time, the Hongman Group also provided compensation to all residents of Dongxin District as a form of apology, bringing the incident to an end.

  On the fourth day after the incident, Wang Xu entrusted Chen Zhongwen to handle the passport and visa for Pengshan, which had been completed. Although Wang Xu hadn't gone to the Provincial People's Hospital much these days, Chen Zhongwen was very grateful to him. Under Wang Xu's care with medicine and Chinese herbal foot baths, Old Man Chen had started his chemotherapy, and everything had been normal these days.

  Peng Shan's passport is ready, which means Yang Han and Peng Shan will leave Zhongjiang for New York. Wang Xu personally sent the two to the airport and watched as Yang Han and Peng Shan walked into security check, tears welling up in his eyes, really wanting to go over and pull Yang Han back.

  P.S. Today, the fifth update is delivered, with 16,000 words, hoping everyone will support Xiaoxiao, the story behind will be more wonderful, this plot is also a foreshadowing for later, okay, no more spoilers, I've been typing all day, now going to eat dinner.
