As Ling Xiaoyi spoke of this, she took out her smartphone to find the report on that person and showed it to Hong Dali.
“Blister Baby and his 32 mothers?” Looking at the report on the smartphone, Hong Dali fiercely nodded and said, “Let’s go find this one! Oh my, this child really looks quite pitiful.”
“Dali.” Tang Muxin asked from the side, “Where is this Blister Baby? Is it far from here?”
“Miss Xinxin, he is in Weian Province’s Medical University Affiliated Hospital.” Ling Xiaoyi answered.
“Oh, that’s a bit far.” Tang Muxin grinned and looked at Hong Dali. “Dali, should I go and book plane tickets now?”
“That’s too troublesome, we still have to sit in a car from here to the airport. Then we still have to wait for the plane, that’s too troublesome.” Hong Dali grinned and took out his phone. “I shall ask Uncle Wu to request the military to send us there in a fighter jet tomorrow morning. I can also ask the other lackeys to come too!”
“Huh!?”
…
While some cheered, others felt unhappy. Hong Dali’s Dali Medical Charity Institution was on the rise, but the Eleventh Society wasn’t having such a good time.
It was only a few hours, but the donation amount plus the money from the game was already over 200 million. If he continued to develop like this, what would be the result!?
“Quick! Quick! Ask everyone to hurry up and move.” The Eleventh Society’s large conference room, chairman Zhou Deye stared at the computer screen with sweat all over his head and said, “Quick, all of you search and see if there are any critically ill patients with poor family conditions, we must hurry up and go over, now! If we don’t do anything soon, all of us will be out of jobs soon!”
Zhou Deye’s worry wasn’t without reason.
Last time, if they felt like it, they would just choose a classic example to help, then go on the news, and that’s about it. But things were different now. With Hong Dali’s charity institution, if they acted like last time on their whim, then it was totally over for them.
But the problem was that they hadn’t made any big movements for a long time, it wasn’t so easy to find a candidate classic enough to set an example to fight against Hong Dali—after all, such a suitable candidate wasn’t white cabbage lying beside the streets, able to be easily found if needed.
“Chairman, with such tight timing, where are we supposed to find a suitable one.” The assistant was full of cold sweat and anxiously said, “All of the people have been mobilized and there still isn’t any news yet. From the looks of things…”
“Worthless! All of you are worthless!” Zhou Deye went into a rage and smash his teacup onto the floor. He yelled, “If we still don’t set a classic example, the people will very quickly forget us! Without their donations, what are we supposed to live on! Deduct from your wage to use for charity!?”
“But… But…” The assistant was helpless too. “But we really can’t find one in such a short amount of time!”
“Can’t find one!? How is it possible to not be able to find one!?” Zhou Deye got even angrier and shouted, “If you can’t find one, can’t you think of something else!? Hong Dali’s side amassed 180 million in just half a day! 180 million! And this is not calculating the money made from gaming! How much money do we have in a year!? They have already supported 2,000 plus people now if we still don’t think of something, who will still know of the Eleventh Society!?”
Indeed, a person would only have motivation when there was pressure. Only because of Hong Dali’s Dali Medical Charity Institution, did the Eleventh Society felt great pressure! If they still didn’t take any action now, they might not have the chance to next time.
“This…” The assistant stood there dumbly. After a while, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said, “I got an idea! Turkey Software’s news website frequently has news about people with illness and how tragic they are, just find those people. Although it’s a bit far, if we do it nicely this time, we can definitely set a classic example and increase our reputation!”
On Turkey Software’s news website, there was a column called “Survival”. There were a lot of cases of people with tragic backgrounds there.
Actually, most of the people there needed financial aid, but the Eleventh Society normally didn’t care about the outside world and was never concerned about such matters.
Only until Hong Dali’s Medical Charity Foundation was established did the people from the Eleventh Society finally remember that there was such a column.
It must be said that they were still quite clever and knew they needed to set a classic example. If they settled the case nicely and contacted reporters to publicize on it, their reputation might really recover by quite a bit.
Of course, that was if everything went smoothly…
“Since you know this, then why are you still not moving!” Hearing this, Zhou Deye hurriedly opened Turkey Software and with his assistant’s guide, found the “Survival” column his assistant talked about. They searched for a while and very quickly, a headline called “Blister Baby and his 32 mothers” attracted their attention.
“Blister Baby and his 32 mothers.” Zhou Deye slowly read: “Xiao Bai was abandoned by his mother at the hospital since birth. He was diagnosed with congenital bullous epidermolysis, and this is a type of rare illness that can’t be cured. The children with this illness are often nicknamed ‘Blister Baby’…”
Seeing this case, Zhou Deye fiercely slapped the table and said, “This is a perfect case example! This time, do things properly, support him with 30,000 of financial aid, then contact the reporters. I want the entire media and magazines in Heavenly State to know that our Eleventh Society is the orthodox charity institution! Hong Dali’s is just for show and won’t accomplish much!”
…
Outside of Weian Province Medical University Affiliated Hospital.
Hong Dali sniffled, looked at the big signboard hanged on top of the hospital, and said, “Is that Blister Baby here? Oh my, he really seems quite pitiful. I hope we didn’t come to the wrong place.”
“It should be here.” Tang Muxin, who was carrying Little Meow, looked around and took out her smartphone to check on the Google Maps. “This is the location the map points at. Dali, shall we go in now?”
“Of course.” Hong Dali snapped his finger, grinned, and said, “Lackeys, let’s go!”
This time when Hong Dali came out, all of the nine lackeys were present, plus Li Nianwei, Lucifer, and even Christina, who heard news of this came here out of curiosity—Tianhai City was right next to Weian Province, after all…
The group of them majestically went in. Even the doctors inside the hospital were alarmed by this large group of people coming in—to prevent causing the scene to be too widespread and chaotic, the group all wore sunglasses and masks.
OK, they might as well not attend to hide. Now, it was as if they were going to rob a bank…
The nurses in the reception counter were severely frightened, and two of them were so scared they couldn’t even stand up. Instead, a manly female nurse left a deep impression on Hong Dali. “What are you guys doing, is this a robbery? I am telling you, I have been trained before, even three to five sturdily-built men can’t get near me!”
This time, it was Hong Dali’s turn to be stunned. “Miss, you are really a man!”
Once he said this, everyone around fell to the floor laughing. Because of this, those spectating weren’t so nervous anymore…
“Just normal-level, third in the world—are you guys here to see a doctor or look for someone?” The lady saw that they didn’t seem to be here to rob them and therefore her relaxed her expression. “If you are looking for someone, just tell me who, I will contact the person for you.”
“Ah, about that.” When he was finally here, Hong Dali was instead a bit perturbed. “Is the Blister Baby here? I came to see him. Oh my, this child is really pitiful…”
Hearing Hong Dali mention Blister Baby, this manly female nurse looked at everyone in the group before saying, “You are here to find Xiao Bai? I am familiar with him! I am telling you guys, Xiao Bai is really not bad, he even has to call me Mother. I will usually go see him when I am free!”
Saying so, she led the way in front.
She saw that although Hong Dali and his group looked quite mysterious, they didn’t seem to be bad guys—she never heard of little girls being part of a gang of robbers before, and the little girl even had a cat in her arms.
“Ah, I know, I know. Blister Baby and his 32 mothers, I came because of seeing this news.” Hong Dali smiled and said, “About that, Sister Manly, this Xiao Bai… can you tell us about him?” Speaking of this, he felt like laughing. There was a great white shark named Xiao Bai in the ocean, and there was another Blister Baby here who was also named Xiao Bai, he really had an affinity to Xiao Bais…
“Xiao Bai is very obedient.” The manly nurse walked and said, “He was abandoned on May 21 last year. At that time, he was in the neonatal treatment center. Sigh, damn it. Do you know, at that time this child’s vital signals were very weak, his eyebrows frowned, there was a huge patch of a blister on his skin, and some areas were even started to fester like the zombies on television. It was really scary. But what’s my job? I am a nurse! Tell me, can we just stand by and let him die? Of course not, right?”
“Right, of course not!” Hong Dali violently nodded; he agreed with this point. “This is a human life. Oh right, Sister Manly, what illness does he have? I don’t really remember, just that this illness is hard to treat.”
Speaking of the illness, the manly nurse sighed and said, “What Xiao Bai has is a skin disease caused by congenital defects of skin structural proteins, called congenital bullous epidermolysis. This is a skin disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities and can’t be cured. We normally call those who have such a disease Blister Baby, which sounds normal, but it’s actually quite terrifying.”
“He’s so pitiful.” Tang Muxin pouted and softly pulled Hong Dali’s sleeve. “Dali, can you save him?”
“I have to see the situation.” Hong Dali thought for a while and said, “I don’t have much confidence. This is a chromosomal disease, not something that can be cured through eating medicines.”
“Don’t you have those health balls?” Tang Muxin softly said, “Just give him one.”
“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali nodded and said, “But I can’t always give one to whoever I see. There’s so many people in Heavenly State, it’s not possible to give all of them one.”
Hong Dali’s words weren’t wrong. In fact, he didn’t mind giving one to everyone, but the crucial thing was—there was only one of him, he really couldn’t manage to give one to everyone…
“That’s true.” Tang Muxin thought for a while and lastly said, “We still have to improve our medical development to solve these problems.”
As they talked, the manly nurse stopped and said, “We are here, this is the place. Xiao Bai should be playing with his ball at this time. Come in.” She pushed the door open and walked in, not forgetting to add, “Oh right, the smell here isn’t very good, just bear with it.”
“Small issue.” Hong Dali didn’t mind at all. “That’s not an issue.”
Very quickly, they saw the Blister Baby, Xiao Bai.
