Faced with the same disease where a person had to die, people would find a balance in their hearts. However, with Ye Lingchen's appearance, he was able to pick who lived and who died. That would naturally cause unrest.
It would be fine if he had saved them in secret, but with the matter made public that way, many patients would go crazy if Ye Lingchen left them to die. It was just like how someone would fall into greater despair when they found a ray of hope, just to realize that it was far out of reach.
"The way to solve this issue is to have universal treatment. It needs to meet the expectations of the majority," Qin Baichuan suggested. "That's why the production of medicines has to be rushed."
In order words, they needed to provide everyone with a reasonable short-term goal to not have them fall into despair.
