Break out of the courtyard

After Zhang Heping finished arranging the laboratory matters, he wanted to go directly back to the lobby on the first floor, but Director Wang grabbed him and took him to the empty room next door.

"The Japanese have imitated our photolithography machines, etching machines and other equipment. Now only a small part of the raw materials are being purchased from us!" Director Wang Sumei looked at Zhang Heping solemnly, trying to find something unusual.

"Japan's technological foundation is there, and there are no export restrictions on those old-fashioned photolithography machines and etching machines. It's normal for them to be cracked and copied by foreigners." Zhang Heping replied indifferently, and then asked: "Anything else?"

"Your name is not on the list of the Hong Kong business delegation visiting Beijing on the 20th of this month. You..." Director Wang hesitated, "The higher-ups want you to go to the capital with the delegation, so as not to stand out and cause unnecessary trouble."

"Who is trying to persuade me?" Zhang Heping frowned and looked at Director Wang, saying calmly, "Auntie Wang, you know my temper. Do you think I should go this time?"

Zhang Heping didn't want to go because he had not been invited to participate in previous National Day performances, so it didn't matter if the business group didn't participate.

Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "This should be preparation for the Sino-Eagle negotiations in September. We want to appease Hong Kong businessmen first to avoid the run on the magnesium dollar that happened last year."

"Just going through the motions?" Zhang Heping's brows relaxed slightly.

"Yes!" Director Wang nodded and said, "Everyone says you are the richest man in Hong Kong Island. I suggest you go back with those Hong Kong businessmen and make them more confident to stay."

"Okay!" Zhang Heping said helplessly, "I can only stay for three days. You know I'm very busy recently."

After confirming that Director Wang had nothing else to do, Zhang Heping returned to the first floor of the treatment center to prepare to deal with the affairs of Tang Laoer's family.

However, as soon as Zhang Heping arrived on the first floor, he discovered that Tang Lao Er’s third and fifth concubines were fighting with the sixth concubine, who was a celebrity without a name, on the floor, while everyone else stood far away and no one dared to step forward to stop the fight.

Because these three shrews who grabbed people’s faces and pulled their hair are all infected with HIV!

Zhang Heping glanced at his second son Tang Yi, who was squatting at the door smoking, and Tang Lu and his mother, who were leaning against the wall in the corridor watching the show.

"Everyone, please be careful to protect yourself. Spray more disinfectant on the hall floor later." Zhang Heping had no intention of trying to stop the fight. He just gave a reminder to the medical staff who were watching the fight nearby.

I don’t know if the three concubines were tired of beating Zhang Heping or they heard Zhang Heping’s voice, but when Zhang Heping was about to go around, the three concubines stopped beating.

"Brother-in-law!" Third Concubine Wang Xue, whose wrist was bitten and bleeding, shouted and was about to reach out to pull Zhang Heping.

"Stay away from me!" Zhang Heping took a step back indifferently, avoiding the opponent's poisonous claws.

His retreat seemed to have triggered a chain reaction, and the other people in the Tang family who had not been found to be infected all slipped out of the hall along the wall.

Zhang Heping ignored the petrified Third Wife Wang Xue and said to his nephew who was smoking beside him, "Alie, you and your family should go get a check-up too!"

"Ah?" The third nephew Tang Qiang was startled, then looked at his father and aunts suspiciously.

"Be careful with the patients inside, don't get scratched by them!" After Zhang Heping said this to the younger generation, he walked towards his father-in-law Tang Ming who was smoking on the lawn.

"Mom, let's go back first!" After Zhang Heping approached, he said to his mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng who was accompanying her.

Tang Ming heard Zhang Heping's voice behind him, and hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand, turned to look at Zhang Heping, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Could it be that Lao Er and the others made a mistake in their inspection?"

"I just went to the underground laboratory to check, and there was nothing wrong with the inspection steps, unless someone cut in line and got the order wrong when drawing blood." Zhang Heping said patiently: "However, blood will be drawn again in a week; if there is a mistake, the patient will be informed."

"Then over here..." Tang Ming looked towards the entrance of the treatment center. The people from the eldest brother's family were gathered together talking about something. Those people from the second brother's family who had not been diagnosed with any illness were standing outside the door, keeping a distance from the sick Tang Yi and the others.

Zhang Heping also looked towards the diagnosis and treatment center and said calmly, "Leave the patients to the medical staff, and leave the virus research to the underground laboratory. We can't help here."

Tang Ming grabbed Zhang Heping's left arm and suddenly raised his voice, "Heping, don't you know Chinese medicine? Can I use Chinese medicine?"

"Dad!" Zhang Heping turned his head to look at his father-in-law Tang Ming, frowned and said, "I explained it to you very clearly on the phone yesterday. This is a newly discovered virus."

"After HIV enters the human body, it will destroy the human immune system. Currently, there is no drug that can restore the damaged human immune system, nor is there any drug that can kill HIV!"

"Sigh..." Tang Ming sighed and let go of Zhang Heping's arm.

Seeing that Zhang Heping was getting impatient, mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng changed the subject, "Heping, there is something I need to tell you. It's not that Lao Er doesn't want Tangning to come and apologize to you, it's mainly because Tangning is dead."

"Huh?" Zhang Heping looked at his mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng in confusion and asked, "When did he die?"

Asking about the time of death was to compare the time difference after Tang Ning escaped from Hong Kong Island to New Island. Based on the length of this time difference, it could be determined whether Tang Lao Er and the others were lying.

At the beginning, this kid Tang Ning colluded with the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong Island, secretly placed bugs in Zhang's house, and stole the archived video CDs from the community monitoring room, in order to help the Eagle Country guys find evidence that the deaths of those Eagle Country guys were not accidental!

Although they did not succeed, Zhang Heping has blacklisted these traitors!

Mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng glanced at her husband Tang Ming and said with a complicated expression: "Things are a bit complicated, let's talk about it when we get back."

"You guys go back first!" Tang Ming picked up the crutches on the ground and pointed to the treatment center, "I'll come back with them later."

In order to explain the scandal of Tang Lao Er's family to Zhang Heping, Xu Jiefeng did not object, but comforted him: "Don't be angry with Lao Er and his family. They are victims and they still need you and Lao Da to enlighten them."

"Got it!" Tang Ming responded and went to the treatment center with a crutch.

Xu Jiefeng did not explain to Zhang Heping on the way back. Instead, after arriving home, she first took Tang Xin aside and talked to her, and then Tang Xin told Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting.

"After Tang Ning fled back to Xindao, did he rape his sister-in-law?" Chen Shuting exclaimed in surprise, and subconsciously glanced at the handbag placed in the corner, which contained a small pistol she always carried with her.

Tang Xin had a complicated expression. She didn't know whether she was glad that Tang Ning was dead, or glad that the beast didn't do anything to her daughter.

Tang Xin glanced at her husband Zhang Heping, who was lying in the middle of the bed in silence, and continued, "Tang Lu came home and happened to see Tang Ning doing that to his wife. He grabbed something and beat Tang Ning to death on the spot."

"A few months later, Tang Lu developed the same infection symptoms as his wife. His wife thought that she had infected Tang Lu with the disease, so she left a suicide note and jumped into the sea."

"There's a problem!" Zhang Heping suddenly said.

Being looked at by his two wives with doubtful eyes, Zhang Heping said slowly: "Although the incubation period of HIV infection can range from a few months to more than ten years, there is still a first come first served order!"

"According to what you just said, Tangning is the source of HIV in their family. He infected his sister-in-law, who then infected Tang Lu."

"Then the question is, who infected his father, his three concubines, and Tang Zuo and his wife? And when did they get infected? And how did Tang Lu's wife know that they were infected with the disease?"

Tang Xin said hurriedly, "Tang Ning had an affair with his father's new sixth concubine, who then infected his father, and then the third and fifth concubines."

"Where are the Tang Zuo couple?" Chen Shuting raised her head and looked at the eldest wife Tang Xin on the right.

"Mom didn't say the Tangs are a couple. How about I go and ask them now?" Tang Xin propped up half of her body, revealing a large area of ​​white.

"Why bother making things difficult for the person who made up the story!" Zhang Heping stopped Tang Xin and asked her to lie down again.

Then, Zhang Heping looked at the white ceiling and said quietly, "HIV only destroys the human immune system. It won't cause symptoms like syphilis that are specific to sexually transmitted diseases."

"For AIDS patients who develop symptoms within a few months, the most common symptoms are fever, sore throat, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. How can these symptoms, which are similar to those of a cold and fever, be associated with organ disease? How did Tang Lu's wife die?"

"Also, Tangning stayed in Hong Kong for more than half a year in order to frame me. Have you ever seen him bring back women like those playboys? Is he the kind of person who is eager for sex?"

"Finally, why didn't Tang Hai, who was close to Tangning, come back this time?"

Jingle Bell……

The landline phone suddenly rang, interrupting Zhang Heping's series of questions.

"Hello?" Chen Shuting picked up the microphone on the left, listened to a sentence, and then sat up suddenly.

Then, she covered the microphone and said to Zhang Heping in astonishment: "Tang Zuo killed Tang Lu and his mother!"

Hearing this, many questions in Zhang Heping's mind seemed to be answered all at once.

Zhang Heping took the phone and asked about the situation on the other end of the line.

The person who called was Lin Jie, the director of the diagnosis and treatment center.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping lay on the bed and sneered, "Tang Laoer's family didn't tell the truth. I'm looking forward to their subsequent performance!"

After a while, Zhang Heping's family turned off the lights and went to sleep. The landline rang again, and Lin Jie's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Master, Tang Zuo also killed his wife. He will be arrested by the Hong Kong police. In addition, Tang Yi and Wang Xue are not in the hospital. They said they are going to Magnesium for treatment."

...

The next day, Zhang Heping did not see Tang Laoer and his family.

Instead, it was the eldest brother-in-law Tang Ren and his family who had sat in the Zhang family's living room early, staring at each other in silence with Tang Ming and Xu Jiefeng.

It was not until Zhang Heping, who had gone out for morning exercise, came back that there were some noises in the quiet living room.

After what happened last night, Zhang Heping disliked Tang Laoer's family even more, so he didn't talk to Tang Ren and the others. Instead, he called the person in charge of the Zhong family in front of them.

Mr. Zhong works for the Hong Kong government and is the organizer of the Hong Kong business delegation visiting Beijing. He had previously asked Zhang Heping if he wanted to join the delegation to the capital, but Zhang Heping declined on the grounds of being busy.

Zhang Heping was calling in front of the Tang family to tell them that he was going to the capital and had no time to accompany them here in Liao Zhai.

After Zhang Heping confirmed his itinerary with Mr. Zhong on June 6th, the day after tomorrow, he called Kai Tak Airport and asked them to issue him the plane ticket.

"Heping, please book one for me and your mother. We'll go to the capital together."

Zhang Heping saw that his father-in-law Tang Ming was not in good spirits, so he advised: "Dad, you should rest at home for two months. I will take care of your body."

Tang Ming shook his head, "The China Eagle negotiations are about to begin, and I have to rush back for the meeting."

Zhang Heping turned to look at his mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng, but saw her nodding, so he stopped persuading her and booked two more tickets.

Near noon, the test results of Tang Ren's family came out, and no one was found to be infected with HIV.

In fact, the fact that they did not go to the treatment center this morning to wait for the results shows their confidence in their own bodies.

Because it is clearly written in the "Peace Hospital" magazine that the best way to protect yourself is to keep yourself clean.

As long as you don't go out and mess around, you naturally don't have to worry about getting infected, unless you are accidentally infected by dirty blood.

Without AIDS patients, the work of the underground laboratory in the diagnosis and treatment center would not be able to continue for long, and they would have to rely on mice or monkeys.

However, wild monkeys are not suitable as experimental subjects, and the breeding cycle of experimental monkeys is 2 to 4 years. Since no sellers could be contacted abroad, only mice could be used.

For future research in other institutes, Zhang Heping called his old classmate He Zijiang in Nanla Town.

Last year, Nanla Town earned more than 300,000 yuan just by selling yew branches; this was the result of them keeping most of the branches for cuttings. If they had sold all of them, they would have earned at least one million yuan.

Zhang Heping doesn't think much of this amount of money now, but it is considered a high income in Nanla Town.

"Peace?"

"Director He, if I don't call you, are you trying to avoid suspicion and will never call me again?"

"If I want to call you, I have to report it to the higher authorities and go through layers of approval before I can call Hong Kong Island. The key is, you may not be at home when I call. How can you ask me to call?" He Zijiang said this with confidence, mainly because he and Baiyun, Xiaoniu and others sent mountain products to Zhang Heping's second sister's home every year.

Zhang Heping chuckled and said, "Liu Yuan is here with me, do you want to say a few words to her?"

He Zijiang could tell that Zhang Heping was joking, and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? I'm already married!"

"Let's get down to business!" Zhang Heping put away his smile and said seriously, "Take a note, I found a big deal for you."

"What big business is this?" He Zijiang used the phone in the office and easily took out a pen and paper.

"I need a batch of experimental monkeys for drug experiments." Zhang Heping began to talk about the market prospects of experimental monkeys and the precautions for breeding them.

Finally, Zhang Heping reminded: "Laboratory monkeys are more difficult to raise than mice, so the price will not be low. However, Nanla Town has abundant fruits and vegetables, which is very suitable for raising laboratory monkeys."

"Talk to Lao Zhao and get some animal husbandry experts to help you calculate how much start-up capital you'll need. Next time I call you, tell me and I'll transfer the money to you."

"Go away! Don't think you can show off in Nanla Town just because you have a few bucks!" He Zijiang said with disdain: "Let me tell you, there are 83 millionaires in Nanla Town. How could we be short of start-up capital?"

"Haha!" Zhang Heping laughed, "Look how proud you are! Is your family a millionaire?"

"My family is only one of the 5,000 households, hehe!" He Zijiang replied with a smile.

"Since you don't want start-up capital, I will invest some money to build an airport, which will make it convenient for you to sell monkeys, tea, and fruits. You can ask Lao Zhao to help ask whether Banna dares to take this investment." Zhang Heping smiled and mentioned the long-planned project.

The stock of Hai Lu Kong Co., Ltd. recently plummeted by 60%, but the Heping Group failed to repurchase many shares. Based on this, Zhang Heping speculated that foreign capital had entered the market.

Therefore, he is now going to start his plan of increasing capital and expanding shares and investing in airports in the mainland.

It is impossible for airports in the mainland to be wholly owned by foreign capital, and they can only serve as a foil for the investors.

Therefore, using Hai Lu Kong Co., Ltd. to raise money in the stock market and then using it as a foil for construction at airports in the mainland is the best way to repay those foreign investors who covet his company!

Even if the stock market does not give him face and fails to raise funds successfully, he can still add money on his own, take back part of the company's equity, and then reduce his holdings to recover the funds.

He Zijiang put away his smile and said seriously: "Zhang Heping, this is not a joke! Otherwise, we won't send you the mountain products!"

Such a big threat, Zhang Heping was so scared that he hurriedly explained: "Hong Kong Island's Kai Tak Airport is now controlled by my company. I plan to use this listed company to raise funds in the Hong Kong Island stock market to build an airport for you. We will sign a formal contract at that time."

"So, you still have to send your mountain products, haha!"
