Chapter 38

Ye Yuan was pulled by Xu Hang into a military compound. The car drove straight to the entrance of a place similar to an air-raid shelter, and the guard, upon seeing Xu Hang's license plate, let them through directly.

The car drove for five minutes inside the mountain cave and stopped at a door that looked like a laboratory.

After getting out of the car, Ye Yuan joked to Xu Hang, "You're not going to use me as a guinea pig, are you?"

"Not at all, just a physical examination, don't overthink it."

Ye Yuan underwent various tests in one day: blood tests, blood pressure, blood lipids, lung capacity, and so on.

Ye Yuan himself had never undergone so many tests from childhood to now.

It took a whole day to complete all the tests. Finally, Xu Hang drove Ye Yuan back to the guesthouse and told him to keep his phone available.

...

"What? Everything is normal? Just a bit stronger than an average person? Even not as good as our frogmen?"

Old Mr. Xu was also very surprised when he received the results from the physical examination.

Putting down the phone, he said to the middle-aged man, "Maybe you're right, he's just an ordinary person.

But how do you explain the discovery of the submarine in such deep waters?"

Old Mr. Xu fell into deep thought.

The middle-aged man didn't know how to answer the old man's question. After taking a sip of tea, he said,

"Should we still have him continue?"

The old man thought for a moment, "Continue, but don't tell him too much, just have him help us look for it.

We have so many frogmen, and it took us three months to find only three pieces of that thing. According to the analysis, there should be many more there."

"Why not use submarines or underwater robots?"

The middle-aged man asked a question he had been wanting to ask for a long time.

It's not that they didn't use them, but it was simply impossible to find them. The few pieces discovered were buried under the sea sand, found by the frogmen's feet. Submarines and robots were not feasible.

"Up to you, since you have such high hopes for this kid, have him give it a try."

After saying that, the middle-aged man stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out.

...

At the Navy General Hospital in Shangjing City, a middle-aged doctor in a white coat over his military uniform stood in front of his desk, shouting into the phone, "What kind of data are you sending us? The patient doesn't have cancer at all. We conducted multiple tests and found no cancer cells."

The other party said something, and the middle-aged doctor's voice suddenly rose, with a sarcastic tone, "Are you saying that the three top experts from our third-level hospital are not as good as an ordinary doctor from your Lando City's third-level hospital?"

"Or is your medical equipment in Lando more advanced than ours?"

"Alright, no more talk. The patient is already here, and I will take responsibility for what we say." He hung up the phone directly.

...

Ye Yuan returned to the guesthouse. Seeing that it was still early, he went to visit Li Hui's father. When he arrived at the ward, the family was chatting and laughing.

Seeing Ye Yuan come in, Li Hui quickly stood up, took a chair for Ye Yuan, and asked him to sit down.

Ye Yuan, seeing that Li Hui's father was in good spirits, asked, "I could hear your laughter from outside. What's so happy?"

Li Hui's mother, with a smile, said directly, "A big hospital is different. We did the tests, and the results came out in the afternoon. It's not cancer at all. The doctor said it's likely a misdiagnosis from the other hospital.

We'll observe for a few days, and if there's nothing wrong, we can be discharged."

It seems that the space water he gave to Li Hui's father in the morning worked. It was good that he drank it before the tests. If the cancer cells suddenly disappeared after the tests, Li Hui's father wouldn't be able to leave the hospital, and he might even be used as a guinea pig.

Ye Yuan didn't know that because of this, the hospital in Lando City faced an unprecedented large-scale inspection.

And during this inspection, many problems in the Lando City hospital were discovered, helping the citizens of Lando City solve many medical issues.

In the ward, Ye Yuan pulled Li Hui's mother to sit down, looked at Li Hui's father, who had regained some spirit, and said to the family of three, "Auntie, actually, I wanted to go to your printing factory..."

Ye Yuan explained why he was looking for Li Hui's father, how he knew about their family's situation, and how he found Li Hui.

Finally, Ye Yuan said to Li Hui, "I now have a contract for an island. The workers are all fishermen from our village, and they are generally older. My father is helping me manage it. I want to find a more professional person to help me manage it. Can you come and help me?"

Li Hui's family never expected that Ye Yuan's business had grown so much and were happy for him.

"No problem, as long as you don't mind that I didn't graduate from university. I studied business management."

"Of course not, Uncle and Aunt can come and live with me. The transportation there is not very convenient, but the environment is very good, which will greatly help Uncle's recovery."

Ye Yuan said goodbye and left, telling Li Hui that he had some things to do in the next few days and wouldn't come over. Li Hui, with a much better mood due to his father's improved condition, told Ye Yuan not to worry about things here and saw him out of the ward.

...

The South China Sea, one of the important waters of China, has coastlines of multiple countries, and many disputes continue. A warship was sailing on the vast sea surface.

Ye Yuan sat in the cabin, listening to Xu Hang's explanation.

The day after the physical examination, Xu Hang took Ye Yuan to HM City. The two boarded this warship and headed directly to the South China Sea.

Xu Hang told Ye Yuan that the mission required him to search for a type of stone in a certain area of the sea. This stone was the same one that the middle-aged man showed him at Old Mr. Xu's house.

No one knew exactly how much of this stone was in this area, and even Xu Hang didn't have the right to know the source of the information.

Xu Hang only knew that this stone was very rare. The Navy had deployed a large number of frogmen to search this area for more than three months and found only three pieces of this stone.

While listening to Xu Hang's explanation, Ye Yuan looked at the materials in his hand. This area of the sea was far from the mainland, and the nearest island was Nansha Island.

Although this is our territorial sea, it is closer to Country F than to us.

The seabed topography in this area is very complex, with a trench that reaches a depth of over 5,000 meters. Ye Yuan's task was to search the seabed near the trench, at a depth of 100-150 meters.

Upon arriving at the designated area, Ye Yuan changed into his diving gear, and 10 frogmen also prepared to dive.

Frogmen are special forces responsible for underwater reconnaissance, demolition, and special operations. They are called "frogmen" because they carry equipment that resembles frog feet. They wear masks, flippers, rubber suits, and oxygen tanks for long-term underwater operations and special missions.

They are an indispensable force in the Navy's underwater operations. The frogmen who came this time were all elite members of various units. According to Xu Hang, "This is the last search. No matter the outcome, we won't continue searching here anymore."

Before diving, Ye Yuan had to sign a confidentiality agreement with the military, which stated that the entire operation must be kept confidential. Ye Yuan was not allowed to reveal any details of the operation to anyone, for any reason, or in any form.
