This was not the first time that Duan Shu Tong has seen a haggard patient, but every time he saw one, he felt sad.

The dean's face was lined with the vicissitudes of life. Despite lying powerlessly on the hospital bed, he smiled at Pei Ruo Wei – whose eyes were red from crying – to comfort her.

Patients with kidney failure need either a kidney transplant or dialysis. This was not taking into account whether or not there was a kidney available for transplant, and even if there were a kidney readily available, the price was extremely high. The same was true for dialysis.

"I've live long enough. It is fine." The old dean held Pei Ruo Wei's hand tightly with his wrinkly hand. His eyes landed on her pregnant belly and sorrow washed across his eyes.

How difficult it would be for a single mother to raise a child.

Duan Shu Tong thought about the orphanage director who had passed away in his previous life and his heart hurt at the scene. He comforted the old dean with a smile, "Don't worry, you will definitely be cured."

First, use dialysis to maintain the dean's life. Then he would work hard to develop the medicine.

The dean smiled at him kindly, "This young man is really handsome." He took Pei Ruo Wei's hand again, and used his eyes to question her.

Pei Ruo Wei felt somewhat exasperated and placated him: "His surname is Duan, and he is my friend."

The dean's face showed some regret, such a good young man was rare.

After leaving the hospital, Duan Shu Tong first loaned Pei Ruo Wei money for the treatment fee, and then he contacted Han Ling, asking him to come back to work as soon as possible. There would definitely be overtime pay.

It was the perfect excuse for Han Ling to escape his father's clutches. He rushed back to Shan Quan County posthaste.

When Duan Shu Tong showed Han Ling the research plan, Han Ling was dumbfounded. His fox-like eyes widened.

"Young Master Duan, are you joking?"

A drug for kidney failure?

As far as he knew, the current diagnosis and treatment methods for patients with renal failure were nothing more than kidney replacement or dialysis, combined with some auxiliary drugs for relief. He had never entertained the thought of a drug that could restore kidney function.

Duan Shu Tong said calmly: "Actually, whether it is domestically or internationally, there are many papers on the development of drugs in this area. I have basically read them all. I think some directions are feasible and I want to give it a try."

Of course, this was just his excuse. In his previous life, medical researchers had accomplished this feat and brought good news to countless patients. He happened to be involved in the process and was fortunate enough to learn about the drug development process.

Due to the gap between the two worlds' medical development, it might be difficult to start from scratch, but it was not impossible.

Han Ling was really frightened by Duan Shu Tong's capability. He had always thought of himself as smart, but in front of Duan Shu Tong he was really insignificant.

"Young Master Duan, I understand your thoughts, but isn't this a step too far?" He has only seen this kind of high-end research and development in some advanced research institutes. Moreover, the research would be carried out by a large number of senior researchers.

They were going to attempt something like this with just their lab? It was simply too outrageous.

Duan Shu Tong felt somewhat frustrated. This kind of thing was really unbelievable to Han Ling, but to him it was just a copy and paste process.

They could wait, but the patients could not afford to wait. Even if no one understood, he did not care.

"Han Ling, if we can develop it then it will be a very good thing. But if we don't succeed, then that's normal. I just want to give it a try. If you don't' want to participate, I can find someone else." It's not that Duan Shu Tong was dissatisfied with Han Ling; he was merely proposing a practical and realistic alternative.

Just like that all the air went out of Han Ling. He laughed helplessly. What a difficult problem. "I'm not unwilling. I'm just expressing my shock. In fact, thinking about it carefully, if we really develop this drug, then wouldn't we become famous overnight?"

He could only comfort himself with such unrealistic thoughts.

Although he felt awkward and flustered, Han Ling was very reliable when he actually did things. His father was a doctor, and his mother was also engaged in the pharmaceutical industry. He has received such influence from a young age and has an innate talent in pharmaceuticals. In addition, he graduated from a prestigious school, and he has good background knowledge and abundant experience in technology, so he was more than enough to be Duan Shu Tong's assistant.

But even so, he often found that he couldn't keep up with Duan Shu Tong's train of thought.

Han Ling looked through almost all the journal papers and found that Duan Shu Tong's research plan was indeed based on certain conjectures, but these conjectures were only conjectures so far, and they would face many difficulties in actual experiments.

The difficulty lied in those obstacles.
