Chapter 346 0345 ALS (I)

Zhou Guoxian's call really made Chen Jue excited and full of joy.

After entrusting this transnational case to the Yunnan Provincial Police, Chen Jue had been waiting for several months.

During this period, he occasionally contacted Zhou Guoxian and Tan Xingke, but the reply he waited for was still that the case was in progress.

Of course, in order to find his father who had been missing for many years as soon as possible, Chen Jue continued to add tens of millions to the bounty after earning considerable cash flow from the live broadcast tour.

According to what Zhou Guoxian revealed on the phone, it was precisely because of this large amount of case handling funds that Interpol really took this case seriously.

Because transnational human trafficking cases like this are very common in Europe and the United States.

If you want to investigate, don't expect it without some strength and money to promote it.

After all, there are countless unsolved cases in the world. Why should others spend police force to serve you alone?

So when Chen Jue paid a large sum of money, Interpol and European police began to sweep away the past slackness and began to investigate the case seriously. Following the clues provided by Zhou Guoxian, the smuggler who was responsible for the smuggling was found, and the case was traced all the way to Naples, the country of pizza.

You know, a large number of Chinese immigrants who went to Europe in the early days of Vancouver chose to settle in the country of pizza.

The smart ones not only brought back leather and clothing technology from the local area, but also established a very concentrated Chinese community and factory in the local area.

Chen Jue's father was also tempted by the high salary of going abroad because of family debt problems, and followed the smuggler to that place.

But he didn't expect that he would be detained by the local gangster forces before he landed.

It was not until today that Interpol intervened and the joint investigation initiated by the Chinese police that several underground flour planting bases were destroyed in Naples, thus rescuing Chen Jue's father.

…

After learning the news that his father was rescued, Chen Jue ran to apply for a visa to Europe without stopping.

Because it was an emergency situation, and with the cooperation and assistance of the Yunnan Provincial Police, the visa that originally needed to wait for a long time only took 1 day to get the result.

As for the translation and guide for the trip abroad, Chen Jue entrusted Qianhe Company to help and temporarily found a professional translator named Lin who was proficient in Italian.

Of course, Wu Fang also flew to the country of pizza with Chen Jue because she was worried about her boyfriend and future father-in-law.

From China to Europe, the distance is more than 10,000 kilometers. If you take an ordinary civil airliner, it will take 15 hours, and it will take longer if you refuel and transfer.

Fortunately, Chen Jue felt that he had no place to spend money before, and he finally played a role in the convenience of bidding for two private planes online.

After the plane took off from Hangzhou and filled up all the way to Wucheng, it took only 10 hours to arrive at Naples International Airport.

The translator named Lin who came with him did not expect that he could serve a domestic tycoon who flew a private plane this time. After getting off the plane, he worked hard throughout the whole process.

First, he rented a few business cars at the local airport, and then the motorcade drove to the police office in Naples.

Before coming, Chen Jue had contacted Zhou Guoxian in advance. As the initiator of this transnational case, he was currently cooperating with some investigation and follow-up work in the Naples Police Department.

After all, it was a major case involving multiple parties, which destroyed several underground planting bases and dark web sales networks, and created a lot of momentum in Pizza Country.

Seeing Chen Jue, the behind-the-scenes financier, coming over, Zhou Guoxian immediately introduced the progress of the case and the recent situation of his father Chen Hongmin.

After learning that his father was in a very unsatisfactory physical condition after being rescued due to being detained underground for too long and doing heavy physical labor, Chen Jue's heart began to tangle.

Following Zhou Guoxian, he went to a local hospital and finally met Chen Hongmin, who had been out of contact for more than ten years, in an intensive care unit.

"Dad!"

After seeing his father's familiar face, Chen Jue burst into tears.

Chen Hongmin had a head full of white hair, a nutrient solution needle in his hand, and his skin was abnormally aged. In addition, he was very pale because he had been in the basement for a long time.

Compared with the appearance of Chen Jue's father, he was more than 20 years older.

"How is my father now?" Chen Jue was a little anxious. While asking Lin the translator to ask the foreign doctor, he grabbed Chen Hongmin's wrist.

He has now reached the peak of the human race, and his control over the body has long been unimaginable for ordinary people.

In addition, he has long been self-taught in medicine and human body related knowledge, and he has some grasp of the traditional Chinese medicine.

Just after checking Chen Hongmin's pulse, Chen Jue's face became a little unnatural.

Because Chen Hongmin's pulse beats very irregularly, not only that, the pulse is also extremely weak, much weaker than ordinary people.

At this time, a foreign doctor with a Mediterranean appearance came over, and after telling Lin the patient's condition, he told Chen Jue the specific symptoms of Chen Hongmin on the spot.

"Mr. Chen, your father's condition is rather special."

"Because he stayed underground for a long time and lacked natural light, he developed symptoms such as osteoporosis and malnutrition. In addition, some unhealthy diets also caused the decline of his urinary and digestive system functions, and the patient's overall organ function was declining."

"But these are not the most fatal. The most dangerous thing is that he is in the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis!"

After listening to Lin's description, Chen Jue's head buzzed.

The first few symptoms sounded serious. After all, for an old man who is almost 60 years old, the decline in physical function will affect his ability to take care of himself in daily life.

As long as proper conditioning is carried out, symptoms such as poor business can be slowly restored.

But this so-called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is no joke!

Because this disease is spelled as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in English, referred to as ASL, it is a chronic, progressive neurological disease that mainly causes damage to upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons and the trunk, limbs and head and facial muscles they control.

It is also the well-known Chinese name for ALS!

Early ALS has basically no impression among ordinary people.

It was not until a few years ago that many celebrities and big Vs on the Internet launched an ice bucket challenge to call for attention to ALS patients, which gradually brought this disease to the public's attention.

The purpose is to raise funds for patients with this symptom, and to promote the influence of the Internet, so that people and medical institutions around the world can pay attention to this special disease.

Of course, the reason why the Ice Bucket Challenge caused such a big stir is entirely because the cause of ALS is unknown so far, and the entire medical community is helpless against this disease.

Although the probability of this disease is extremely low, only about 4 in 100,000, but once it is contracted, the patient is like a judge ordered by the King of Hell, and half of his life will be tied to the book of life and death.

First, chronic muscle atrophy, and then a series of complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure will occur.

People with ALS are like living a life worse than death!

The famous physicist Stephen William Hawking suffered from ALS, which led to paralysis of the whole body and inability to speak. The only parts that can move are two eyes and three fingers. All year round, he needs to inject various drugs and nutrient solutions to maintain vital signs.

"My dad actually has ALS?!"

"This..." (End of this chapter)
