Li Mu didn't know that the Class Three Grade A hospital closest to Spielberg and Anne Hathaway, which was the Third People's Hospital, was the largest infectious disease hospital in Shenzhen.
When the four of them stepped into the emergency department, Li Mu instantly felt that the situation was unusual.
Although it was already early in the morning, the emergency department was very crowded. Whether it was patients, family members, or medical staff, there were more people than usual. Moreover, every medical staff was running back and forth, appearing to be in a hurry.
Li Mu also noticed a small detail: every medical staff here was wearing a mask, and it was not just one layer. It was obvious that they were wearing at least two layers of masks. The inner mask was thicker, and the outer layer was an ordinary disposable medical mask. Moreover, every medical staff was wearing a doctor's cap and rubber gloves. This was definitely not how the emergency department should look under normal circumstances.
In front of the triage desk, three young nurses were constantly monitoring the temperature and blood pressure of the patients who were queuing up. There were also nurses and security guards who were constantly handing out disposable medical masks to the patients and reminding them to check their temperature before going to the emergency department. If they were obviously feverish, they should go directly to the fever clinic for treatment.
Li Mu suddenly felt an extraordinary sense of oppression in this kind of situation, which revealed a high degree of tension everywhere.
He had experienced SARS. Although he was not in an area with a serious epidemic when SARS broke out, he had experienced the panic of the people. Moreover, he had seen this kind of situation where the medical staff were fully armed and going all out. He had seen too many of them on TV.
Not long after Li Mu entered the door, Spielberg, who was wearing a mask, recognized him. He quickly ran to Li Mu and said, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry to trouble you so late!"
Although Spielberg was also wearing a mask, Li Mu also recognized him at once. Then he hurriedly asked him, "Steven, where is Anne?"
Spielberg said, "In the isolation ward on the second floor. Come with me!"
The anxious Spielberg quickly took Li Mu to the second floor. For him, Anne Hathaway was invited by him. To put it bluntly, when he talked business with Li Mu, he would be a little more positive. Now that he was about to leave, Anne Hathaway suddenly fell ill and was directly quarantined in the hospital, he was very worried and blamed himself. Now he just wanted to find out what happened to Anne Hathaway. Unfortunately, he did not speak the language in China, and the doctor seemed to be hiding something from him, so he could only ask Li Mu for help.
Li Mu followed Spielberg directly to the isolation ward on the west side of the second floor. At the frosted glass door of the isolation ward, two security guards stopped them and said, "You guys, you can't go in here!"
Spielberg looked at Li Mu for help. Li Mu knew that it was meaningless to break into the isolation ward. The key was to see the doctor and understand Anne Hathaway's current situation, so he asked the security guard, "Hello, who is in charge of the isolation ward? I want to see him. "
"Director Zou is busy inside." A security guard said, "You can wait for a while and wait for him to come out, but I'm not sure when he will come out."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then we'll wait here. Is that okay?"
The security guard said, "No problem, but so many of you will affect our work. How about this, you leave one or two of you here, and the rest of you go to the lounge in the hall and wait."
Li Mu immediately said, "Okay, then I'll stay here."
Then, Li Mu said to Spielberg, "Steven, with so many of us here, it will affect the normal operation of the hospital. How about I wait here, and you guys go take a rest first?"
Spielberg then looked at Li Mu and pleaded, "Can you let me stay here too? Please help me talk to them. "
Li Mu couldn't bear to refuse, so he said to the security guard, "Is it okay for the two of us to stay here?"
The security guard thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, then you two wait here. The rest of you go out first."
Li Mu asked Wang Yuanlang to take the others to the hall on the second floor first, and then he and Spielberg waited in front of the glass door of the quarantine area.
After waiting for about ten minutes, figures suddenly came out of the glass door that had not been opened. Li Mu looked up and saw three figures of different heights coming out, but they stopped when they came to the frosted glass door. However, they did not immediately come out of the door. Through the shadows, it could be seen that they were using a spraying tool to help each other spray disinfectant on each other. The spraying was very detailed. The other two people were helping one person spray from his feet to his body, armpits, the back of his hands, and the top of his head. When Li Mu saw this, he became even more nervous. Maybe the epidemic had really spread in Shenzhen.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the three people who were spraying disinfectant on each other came out of the glass door. They were all wrapped in medical biochemical suits, masks, gloves, and hats.
After the three people came out, the one in the middle said to the two doctors beside him, "I'll go back to the office to take a nap. If there's any problem, come to me at any time."
The other two nodded repeatedly. "Okay, Director Zou."
When Li Mu heard that the person was Director Zou, he hurried forward and asked politely, "Hello, Director Zou, right? I'm a friend of Miss Annie. May I know how she is now? "
Director Zou looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is it that American girl? I'm not sure about her current condition. She needs further observation and treatment. "
Li Mu hurriedly said, "But she has to go to Hong Kong this morning, and then fly back to the United States from Hong Kong."
Director Zou said without hesitation, "Then hurry up and postpone the trip. I can't let her leave the hospital in her current condition."
Li Mu's heart tightened. He hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me what disease she has? How is her condition? How long will it take for her to recover? "
Director Zou hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but at least five to seven days of observation."
Li Mu asked, "Then what disease does she have? You have to let us know, right?"
Director Zou shook his head. "I'm sorry, the patient's condition is unclear. I can't tell you now. We need to observe her for a few more days."
After that, Director Zou said to Li Mu, "I advise you not to stay in the hospital for the time being. The patient needs to stay in the isolation ward for a few days for observation. You won't be able to see her. Go to the head nurse and register her contact information. We'll inform you if there's any progress with the patient."
After that, Director Zou said with a tired expression, "I'm sorry, I have to go."
Li Mu hurriedly asked, "Director Zou, is my friend infected with some kind of infectious disease? If it's convenient, can you tell me? "
Director Zou dodged his eyes and said, "We're not sure if it's an infectious disease. Please go back and wait patiently. Okay."
After that, Director Zou strode past Li Mu and went directly to an office at the other end of the corridor.
Li Mu felt that the situation was very bad. If Anne Hathaway had really been infected with SARS in Hua Xia, and Spielberg had seen it with his own eyes, then it would be a big deal. The country did not announce the epidemic in the early stage, to a certain extent, for the sake of the overall situation. The understanding of SARS in the early stage was not enough, and the treatment and defense methods were still being explored. The country might not be able to immediately prepare for an effective epidemic prevention nationwide. If the news was leaked in advance and caused social panic, it would be really difficult to deal with.
Moreover, although Li Mu was not familiar with Anne Hathaway, they were still friends. Moreover, Anne Hathaway was about the same age as him and was still very young. If she really was infected with SARS, it would probably have a great impact on her.
In anxiety, Spielberg asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, what did the doctor say just now?"
Li Mu came to his senses and said to him, "Steven, wait for me. I'll go ask again."
After that, Li Mu walked toward Director Zou's office.
At the door of the office, Li Mu knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside. "Come in."
Then Li Mu pushed the door open and entered. Director Zou, who had just taken off his mask, saw him and said helplessly, "Sir, I've already explained the situation to you. Please be patient and go back and wait …"
Before he finished his words, Li Mu had already taken off the mask on his face.
Anne Hathaway was not well known in the country. Perhaps Director Zou, who looked to be in his forties, might not be able to recognize her, but Li Mu believed that Director Zou would definitely recognize his own face.
As expected!
The moment Li Mu took off his mask, Director Zou was immediately dumbfounded!
How could he not know Li Mu? For such a long time, Li Mu had done so many earth-shattering things, and even made the people of Hua Xia feel honored in the world. How could an intellectual like him not know?
Moreover, he had used Li Mu's deeds almost every day to encourage his son, who had just turned thirteen this year. He knew all of Li Mu's deeds like the back of his hand, so the moment Li Mu took off his mask, he recognized him.
"You … You are Li Mu?!"
Although he recognized Li Mu, Director Zou still had a look of disbelief. Who was Li Mu? Not to mention his fame and influence in the world, his net worth should be one of the top in the country. Why would someone like him, who was an idol of countless people, appear in his office?
At this moment, Li Mu said very seriously, "Hello, Director Zou, I am Li Mu. That Miss Anne is a Hollywood star, her full name is Anne Hathaway. The old man standing with me just now is the famous director Steven Spielberg. The two of them were planning to return to America today. If you don't let me know what happened to Anne and Steven Spielberg spreads the news, I'm afraid it will have a huge impact on the world!"
