Now, Tao Fengche was really a little confused.

It's not azoospermia, is it some other physical disease?

He felt that his thinking seemed to have entered a certain dead end, but he couldn't get out of it. After racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't come up with an answer, which made his thinking even more confusing.

"It's all said and done, so don't go around in circles anymore." Tao Fengche sighed, and said with a wry smile, "What's going on?"

Having said that, Tao Fengche was already mentally prepared for Dr. Wu to ramble a lot of nonsense before giving the answer. He even took a sip of water to moisten his throat in advance, and prepared to fight with him later.

But this time, Dr. Wu answered very quickly, as if he had passed a psychological barrier during the unusual silence just now, and completely opened up the chatterbox.

"Mr. Zhao had a circumcision many years ago."

"!"

As soon as Dr. Wu finished speaking, Tao Fengche's eyes widened. Even Sui Yuesheng, who had been calm from beginning to end, had a crack in the perfect mask on his face.

Dr. Wu didn't stop, but all the smart people present understood what he meant in an instant.

The vasectomy is not a once-and-for-all procedure-male vasectomy is divided into two types, either cutting the vas deferens or closing the vas deferens with drugs.But in very rare cases, the ligated vas deferens can be recanalized, allowing the patient to regain fertility.

Coupled with the fact that condoms cannot guarantee 100% contraceptive effect, the established fact that Yushu was pregnant was caused by a combination of circumstances.

After Tao Fengche figured out the whole story, he was a little dumbfounded for a while—no wonder he didn't think of this answer before following Yuesheng, this kind of possibility, which is as low as a comet hitting the earth, would happen when Zhao Jiayang reconciled with Xie Yushu. It's a bit too absurd and funny.

But... why?

Why did Zhao Jiayang choose ligation?

Reproduction is the instinct of animals. In the final analysis, human beings are just more advanced mammals. How could there be an alpha voluntarily neutered and voluntarily giving up the possibility of having offspring?

This is really not something Zhao Jiayang would do.

Tao Fengche vaguely felt that this matter might have something to do with Chu Yin, but he wasn't sure.He has already climbed to the top of the mountain, but the truth of the matter is on the top of the next mountain. It seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is far away.

His mind was in a mess, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "...why?"

Tao Fengche's voice was very soft, but it was still transmitted to the other end through advanced communication equipment, and was captured by Doctor Wu.

"If Tao Shao asks this, I really don't know." Dr. Wu smiled wryly, "I'm not a roundworm in Mr. Zhao's stomach, so how can I know what he's thinking?"

Tao Fengche came back to his senses, knew he had slipped his words, and hurriedly interrupted: "It's nothing, you don't need to answer this question."

He took a deep breath, and after thinking for a while, he managed to straighten out his train of thought. Following Dr. Wu's words, he continued to ask: "When did you mean 'many years ago'?"

"It's been too long. I'm not in the clinic now, so I can't read the medical records. If you ask the exact time, I really can't answer it." Dr. Wu recalled for a moment, "But... at least it has been 20 years."

In this way, the previous guesses are almost inseparable.

Tao Fengche's thoughts moved slightly, and he said calmly: "So the medical examination report you sent that day..."

"Since the ligation operation, Mr. Zhao's medical records have marked azoospermia, and it has not been changed since then. I went to send him the daily physical examination report as usual that day."

Tao Fengche nodded, feeling that he had touched a corner of the truth——

Zhao Jiayang went for a physical examination after the ligation operation, and colluded with Dr. Wu to change the "obstructive azoospermia" caused by the ligation operation to "non-obstructive azoospermia" and recorded it in the medical record in the system.

The reason why Dr. Wu left the hospital to open a personal clinic may also have something to do with this matter.

But this report... Who was it used to deceive?Tao Fengche narrowed his eyes slightly, keeping this doubt in his heart.

"Thank you for today's matter. I will keep this matter a secret. I also ask Dr. Wu not to spread it. Just pretend that this call never happened. I owe you a favor. If there is anything the Tao family can help in the future If you're going to a busy place, you can just make this number directly." Tao Fengche said, ready to hang up the phone.

"Wait!" Doctor Wu suddenly stopped him.

"Anything else?"

"Young master Tao tried his best to find me because you can't get in touch with Mr. Zhao anymore. Am I right?"

"?!"

Does Dr. Wu really know something inside, or is he just defrauding him?

Tao Fengche's expression changed drastically, he subconsciously turned his head and followed Yuesheng to look at each other, the latter shook his head slightly, signaling him to restrain his emotions.

"Young Master Tao, don't be nervous. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to care about Mr. Zhao's recent health. As long as you can keep your promise, Young Master Tao, I will naturally not disclose this matter." Dr. Wu is here said.

Originally, Tao Fengche was still thinking about who leaked the news to a personal doctor who had been away for several years, but after hearing the other party finish the second half of the sentence, he felt faintly confused again.

He half-truthfully asked: "Isn't my uncle in good health all the time? He hasn't turned fifty this year, and he went out to sea with Uncle Wang and his group some time ago. Is Dr. Wu too old today?" I'm tired, why can't I understand what you're saying?"

Doctor Wu just smiled: "Young Master Tao, you also know what I eat. It's fine if you use this to prevaricate others, but it's not good to use it to prevaricate me, Mr. Zhao's former personal doctor? Don't do Tai Chi either. Now, let me ask you, what stage is Mr. Zhao's tumor developing now?"

Tumor? !

Which one is this?

Tao Fengche was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously repeated: "What tumor?"

"You don't know?" Dr. Wu wondered.

Tao Fengche's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely sensed that something was beyond his control.

He rolled his Adam's apple up and down, and simply followed Dr. Wu's words: "I don't know. But I really can't contact him."

"About more than a week ago, my uncle left me a message, saying that he was going out to play for a while, and the signal at the destination was not good, so I don't have to worry about it. I wanted to ask him about something two days ago, but I didn't get through the phone , but I didn't take it seriously either. After all, when he was on vacation in the Western Continent last month, he was photographed dating an omega supermodel, and the tabloids said they had a hot fight." Tao Fengche said with a wry smile, "I I always thought he took his new love to some remote island, hiding from the paparazzi on a date."

Dr. Wu was silent.

Tao Fengche was almost driven mad by the anxiety in his heart, he had to do his best to force himself to remain calm, not to urge him, and quietly waited for Doctor Wu's answer.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the hands on the wall clock made a clicking sound when they were working. This sound is usually so light that it can be ignored, but at this time it is like the thunder before the rainstorm, which makes people feel palpitating.

"You really don't know?" After a long time, Dr. Wu sighed heavily, like a drumbeat that was not too heavy, hitting Tao Fengche's heart.

"Yes."

"Now, I won't hide it from you. Mr. Zhao will have a physical examination every year. During the physical examination two years ago, pancreatic cancer was found. This kind of cancer is difficult to find in the early stage, and it can't be cured in the late stage, and the rate of deterioration is very fast. Hurry up. Mr. Zhao had developed to the middle stage at that time. After getting the physical examination report, I immediately suggested that he be hospitalized for surgery to remove the tumor. He asked me if the cancer cells would not metastasize after the tumor was removed, and I told him No. Then he refused surgery and was unwilling to be hospitalized, only to receive targeted drug therapy."

"During the physical examination this year, his physical condition was not optimistic. I advised him to be hospitalized for chemotherapy. Although there is no cure, at least he can live for a few more years." Dr. Wu said with some regret, "He only agreed with me. Give him targeted drugs, and special painkillers. But in the late stage... this is just a drop in the bucket."

"If you can find him, spend more time with him. His time is running out."

Tao Fengche lowered his eyes silently, and suddenly found that the water glass in his hand was still rippling.He thought it was an earthquake at first, and wondered why he didn't receive the alarm. The next second he realized that his hands were shaking constantly.

He put the cup back on the table, refused to follow Yuesheng's gaze, and said slowly: "You just said that this disease is getting worse quickly, what exactly do you mean?"

"Let's put it this way, pancreatic cancer is also known as the king of cancer. The one-year survival rate is only 5.00%, and the five-year survival rate is less than [-]%. It is the malignant tumor with the worst clinical prognosis."

Tao Fengche froze for a moment, as if he had suddenly lost his ability to think and understand, or as if he had stepped on the ground and fell straight from the top of the cliff into the vast ocean.The sudden cardiac arrest caused by the weightlessness came at the same time as the suffocation of drowning. His blood seemed to be covered with icicles. His whole body was cold, and his limbs were in pain.

"Uncle, when was his diagnosis...?"

Tao Fengche's voice was so hoarse and dry that he seemed to be polishing iron with sandpaper.

"April two years ago." Dr. Wu answered quickly, "To be precise, it was mid-April."

... mid-April.

Chu Yin left in February, so that means... not long after Chu Yin passed away.

Zhao Jiayang's madness and paranoia seemed to have an answer at this moment. He knew that time was running out, so he desperately wanted to solve this matter.

And Zhao Jiayang's wrists are densely packed with pinholes like stars in the sky...

Since Chu Yin's condition worsened, Zhao Jiayang began injecting alpha nerve stimulants.This medicine can stimulate alpha's central nervous system, keeping people excited and awake, but it is also extremely addictive.In addition to causing organ lesions to a certain extent, serious mental problems will also occur.

Tao Fengche took a deep breath, feeling as if his heart was tightly clenched by an invisible big hand.

He pretended to be calm, thanked Dr. Wu very gracefully, and promised that he would find Zhao Jiayang and spend the last period of his life with him.The old doctor, who was concerned about the patient, gave a lot of precautions, and then hung up the phone reluctantly.

But in fact, Tao Fengche was giving the answer completely by instinct.It was as if his soul had gone out of his body, his mind was covered with thick glue, his thoughts were stuck tightly, and he couldn't think of anything.

——Except for the few days of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It was like a slowed-down movie, the images of those days were replaying in his mind frame by frame——

Zhao Jiayang's hands trembled inexplicably.

A flash of blood on the plain white handkerchief.

The death will hidden in the words.

And the phrase "You little kid knows a fart".

……

Everything seems to have an answer.

I didn't pay much attention at the time, but thinking about it now, the corner of the plain white handkerchief seemed to have a pattern, vaguely in the shape of a plum blossom.

...It was the smell of pheromone produced by Chu Yin after injecting artificial pheromone.
