Lin Yi thought for a moment and continued to ask:

"So your final demand is that you want him to compensate 40,000 dollars, right?"

"Yes, and now I suspect his skill level is problematic. He hasn’t cured several families’ cows, and in the end, we had to rely on our experience to treat them."

"What about the fees? Are they more expensive or cheaper compared to before?"

"More than double." Pan Yongbing sneered:

"When Old Ma was the veterinarian, the prices were cheap, and he even allowed credit. No matter the time, even if there was hail outside, he would come as long as you called. But that’s not the case with him now. Look at the sore on my lip; it’s due to irritation."

"Do you have Mao Hai Long’s phone number here? Could you give it to me? We’ll contact him afterward and try to negotiate a reasonable solution."

"I’ll dictate, and you write it down."

Pan Yongbing took out his phone and gave Lin Yi Mao Hai Long’s number.

Xu Qingqing willingly took on the assistant role and wrote his number down.

"The interview will end here for now. We’ll contact Mao Hai Long and see what he says. Keep your phone’s line open at all times."

"Alright, alright, journalist comrade, thank you for your hard work on this matter."

"You’re welcome. It’s our duty."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group left Pan Yongbing’s house.

Just as they walked out the door, they saw several villagers coming in from outside.

"Old Pan, are these the journalists from the city?"

"Our cow died; they’re here to interview about it."

"Young man, you must investigate thoroughly. Mao Hai Long’s skill is really lacking. Last time when he treated our cow, it started vomiting and having diarrhea, almost killed by his treatment."

"And he has a particularly bad attitude; his skills are really nowhere near as good as Old Ma."

The villagers chattered away, all complaining about Mao Hai Long.

"I’ve heard all your demands. You can organize your issues, and we’ll come again for a concentrated interview."

"Alright, alright, then we won’t take up any more of your time."

"Okay."

The group returned to their car, and Zhou Li checked the time, "It’s noon now. Let’s head back to the town, find a place to eat, and chat while eating."

"Okay."

Mulin Town is about three kilometers from Siling Village. The group returned to the town, found a simple little restaurant, ordered some dishes, and prepared to eat.

"Lin Bro, see if there’s anything you want to eat. I’ll treat this meal."

Xu Qingqing handed the menu to Lin Yi, her actions particularly close.

Lin Yi felt a bit awkward, but with others present, he couldn’t embarrass Xu Qingqing since she hadn’t done anything wrong.

"Ask Sister Li and Brother Jun, I’m fine with whatever."

"Sister Li, Brother Jun, pick whatever you want, this meal is on me." Xu Qingqing pushed the menu towards them.

"We’re not picky; you guys choose, anything’s fine." Zhou Li said reasonably:

"But you don’t need to pay for this meal; it’s covered by the station."

"It’s okay, a meal doesn’t cost much. Let me have this opportunity."

The group politely refused, but ultimately Xu Qingqing and Li Wei took on the task of ordering.

However, whenever they chose a dish, Xu Qingqing would ask Lin Yi’s opinion, especially obedient.

Ma Jun nudged Zhou Li with his elbow and whispered in her ear:

"Look at Xu Qingqing’s posture; she’s obviously interested in Lin Yi. You better have some crisis awareness; otherwise, you might lose him before you succeed."

"Go on; as an adult, you still lack seriousness."

Zhou Li was not interested in competing with Xu Qingqing for these things.

At her age, she believed more in fate. After sending signals, if she received a response, she would pursue it further. If not, she wouldn’t be overly persistent.

Soon the dishes arrived, and they started eating and began discussing Pan Yongbing’s issue.

"What does everyone think about this matter? Feel free to express your thoughts," Ma Jun said.

"I’m an outsider, so here’s my perspective." Li Wei actively stepped in, trying to engage both himself and Xu Qingqing in the discussion.

"I think this is clearly a medical accident. Even the top hospitals in the country face such incidents annually. Some compensation is appropriate, but Pan Yongbing demanding 40,000 is a bit excessive."

After Li Wei spoke, he quietly nudged Xu Qingqing, encouraging her to share her thoughts.

"Earlier, I asked my friend: a mature cow plus two calves is worth around 40,000 dollars. Pan Yongbing’s demand is essentially full compensation. I think both parties bear responsibility, and such a high amount shouldn’t be compensated. However, since Mao Hai Long hit him, that’s solely his fault and can be separately pursued from this matter."

Both finished, and Zhou Li glanced at Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, what are your thoughts?"

"Pan Yongbing indeed bears some responsibility, but it’s quite minor, almost negligible."

Everyone focused on Lin Yi, waiting for him to continue.

"There are several issues here that shouldn’t be overlooked. Firstly, Mao Hai Long used medication improperly, which is the core of the problem."

Lin Yi paused and continued:

"Although Chloroprostaglandin has been officially banned, using it secretly is manageable."

"May I ask a question?" Xu Qingqing deliberately joined the conversation.

"What’s your question?"

"If the state has banned it, why is using it secretly still okay?"

"Because this drug is effective for aiding deliveries, though it has some other side effects, none are fatal. Many cattle farmers are poor folks; they must tightly control costs. If not, the expenses will rise, making cattle farming unprofitable, and they’d lose their income."

"Got it."

After addressing Xu Qingqing’s query, Lin Yi continued:

"Based on what I understand, the dosage should be limited to under two injections for optimal results while reasonably avoiding risk. However, Mao Hai Long used six doses, grossly over-the-limit, directly causing the cow’s death."

"Additionally, Pan Yongbing and other villagers mentioned Mao Hai Long’s skills are inadequate, which is crucial in exacerbating the issue. Thus, the primary blame lies with Mao Hai Long."

"Looking at this, could his medical license be questionable?" Zhou Li asked.

"Not likely; Pan Yongbing said Mao Hai Long is a college graduate, so he should understand unauthorized medical practice leads to criminal liability. He probably wouldn’t dare do this," Lin Yi stated:

"Therefore, the investigation should be two-fold: first, check which school he graduated from, then trace this person thoroughly."
