Jiang Ning observed for a long time and saw several people in white protective suits coming out from the building, accompanied by Chief Ling, who was wearing a mask, along with a few police officers. 

Several experts from the Chinese Medicine Research Institute had arrived, but it was impossible to determine if the herbs were toxic just by looking at them. The safest way was to take them back for testing. 

During the past few years of natural disasters, many doctors have fallen, and the survivors can only endure their illnesses. The arrival of two trucks of medicine is undoubtedly timely. 

Chief Ling has never worked with them. Considering the significance of the herbs, he tactfully reminded: “Comrade Ma, these herbs were anonymously donated by caring individuals in Fengcheng. They are specifically intended for treating smog-related viruses. I hope we can allocate them accordingly.” 

Ma Guangnian shook hands with him. “Rest assured, Chief Ling. We will strictly adhere to the donor’s wishes and, if possible, please convey our gratitude.” 

Chief Ling couldn’t help but ask, “Can these herbs really cure the smog virus?” 

“It’s hard to say for now, but they are all liver and lung-protective herbs. Judging by their quality, they seem very good.” 

As they talked, two large trucks drove into the police station. A group of soldiers got out and systematically loaded the herbs onto the trucks, escorting the researchers back to Yuecheng. 

After shaking hands and saying goodbye, the trucks slowly departed. 

Jiang Ning put down the binoculars, looking thoughtful. 

The research institute had the best protective equipment, followed by the military and police. It seemed the authorities had long been preparing for this fight against the smog, hoping to win this battle. 

Riding her little electric scooter back to the community, she vaguely heard some people coughing, and it wasn’t just from one household. This made Jiang Ning instantly alert. Could the virus be fiercer than a flood? 

“Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang.” Suddenly, someone emerged from building 19, coughing heavily as they walked. “Do you have any medicine?” 

“No.” Jiang Ning didn’t even blink. “Even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to you!” 

She might speak more politely to others, but she didn’t bother hiding her disdain for Mrs. Xiao. 

“How can you be so mean? You clearly have medicine but won’t share it?” 

Mrs. Xiao was in great discomfort, staggering from a high fever. “We’re all part of the same community. Are you really so heartless as to let me die? I won’t take it for free; I’ll trade something with you.” 

“Why should I save you?” Jiang Ning retorted. “Since the day I moved into Building 50, you’ve not only disliked me but also tried to sow discord and spread rumors everywhere. Your actions are despicable. It seems you believe someone like me, a nouveau riche, isn’t worthy of living among you. 

The Qing Dynasty has long fallen, yet you still think you’re some superior noble? 

I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Instead, you used Mr. Liao’s death to incite Mrs. Liao against building 50. 

Who do you think you are? Is asking me for medicine doing me a favor? Stay sick; if you die, you deserve it!” 

“You’re lying. I never did any of that.” 

Mrs. Xiao was so furious that she nearly fainted from lack of breath. But realizing she needed help; she instinctively tempered her attitude and softened her voice. “Jiang Ning, there were misunderstandings before. Let me explain…” 

Ha, who did she think she was? Jiang Ning scooted off on her electric scooter in a flash. 

Mrs. Xiao couldn’t catch up. 

Returning to building 50, Jiang Ning disinfected herself thoroughly with alcohol. 

She checked the backyard, where Da Hui and little Xiao Bai were quietly grazing. 

Herbal tea was essential, three times a day, along with two hours of intense training. 

Just after dinner, Qin Chuan’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, “Sister-in-law, switch to the community communication channel.” 

Hearing his slightly hoarse voice, Jiang Ning asked with concern, “Did you get infected too?” 

“My throat is itchy and painful, and it feels like I’m swallowing a razor blade,” Qin Chuan said with a bitter smile. Then, he comforted himself, “Xiao Mu took the herbs you gave me and felt a little better.” 

“Continue taking them, and drink more. It has a preventive effect.” 

As she was adjusting the frequency, a knock suddenly came from downstairs, “Dr. Jiang, we’re here to exchange medicine. Could you please open the door?” 

It wasn’t just one person but a crowd. They were either covering their noses and mouths with handkerchiefs or masking themselves with clothes. 

Jiang Ning ignored them and continued adjusting the frequency. 

The community channel was bustling. Mrs. Xiao coughed while accusing Jiang Ning, saying she had medicine but refused to give it, accusing her of being heartless, selfish, and refusing to save lives. 

Building 50 gained fame in one battle, coupled with its glorious history within the community and their relationship with the Rong family. Most of the community wanted to befriend them and even those who didn’t accept it had to restrain themselves. Madam Xiao was the only shameless one to confront the situation head-on. 

And because of Mr. Liao’s death, Mrs. Liao, who was brainwashed by her, echoed her sentiments as well and was simply possessed by a drama spirit. 

The smart ones didn’t make a sound but came to Building 50 to curry favor. 

Although they feared Building 50, death was even more terrifying. 

Jiang Ning couldn’t be bothered with them and just used the walkie-talkie as a form of entertainment. 

She wasn’t in a hurry, but Zheng Weili, with her bad temper, immediately interrupted, “Even if Jiang Ning has medicine, why should she give it to you? What nerve! Keep pushing, and I’ll dismantle your door!” 

As soon as she spoke, sharp mouthed monkey and the others joined in. 

As a bunch of secondhand dealers, perhaps they were lacking in other skills, but their mouths were sharp enough. Each of them could make Mrs. Xiao so angry she couldn’t stop coughing. 

“Mrs. Xiao, I suggest you save your breath and not push yourself too hard.” 

The third young master, Rong Sanshao, who was the last to appear, teased slowly, “Who told you that Sister Jiang has medicine? Even I, her sworn brother, didn’t know. Do some good deeds for yourself, talk less, and breathe more. Maybe then you can live a few more days.  

The smog has just arrived, and even the official experts are still trying to figure out how to fight the smog virus. Stop spreading rumors and discord in the community. What’s your intention? 

The community consists of highly educated and quality homeowners. Do you really think by sowing discord, you can fool us into running to Sister Jiang for medicine like idiots?” 

The group of idiots knocking on the door of Building 50 for medicine “…” 

Mrs. Xiao dared to criticize Jiang Ning but didn’t dare to oppose the Rong family. “Cough, cough, I didn’t say she has the cure, but she has herbs. Several families have already used them…” 

“What’s it to you? With all the shit you have done, how can you have the nerve to ask her for medicine?” 

The noble Rong Sanshao, son of the richest man in Fengcheng, cursed like a pro. 

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Rong’s old man’s cane came swinging, “You bastard, you have no filter when you talk. If you don’t want your face, I still want mine!” 

“Ahh, are you trying to kill your own son!” 

Jiang Ning turned off the walkie-talkie and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Do you think Rong Sanshao is asking me for medicine in a roundabout way?” 

Huo Yishen agreed, “I think so.” 

She mentioned the incident of the Research Institute taking away the herbs, “The herbs have been given to them. I don’t know when they’ll come up with the right prescription.” 

Nothing urgent, she planned to go there. 

Unexpectedly, Huo Yishen, who had always unconditionally supported her, objected, “The smog virus is very fierce, and everything has changed from before. The prescription needs continuous verification in the clinic. They will certainly receive many patients, and the risk of infection will be greatly increased.”
