Chapter 286 appears to be a sanatorium

The two soldiers also knew a little about this, but compared to Du Ruoxia, they could only feel ashamed of themselves.

She knew so much that they had no room to refute her.

With her extensive medical knowledge and excellent speaking skills, Du Ruoxia successfully fooled the two men.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a matter of fooling them; rather, they were genuinely impressed and had nothing to say in front of her.

Having verified the authenticity of her medical skills, it's time to discuss something even more important.

"Your two prescriptions are very effective. Our superiors would like to have you come over for a chat to discuss the military's pharmaceutical manufacturing."

Du Ruoxia died too young; many of the new drugs she developed never had a chance to be released to the public.

Therefore, despite her strong abilities, she did not attract the attention of her superiors.

Du Ruoxia is a low-key person, and she never knew how to deal with these kinds of things.

Originally, she developed medicines specifically for the military, simply hoping to reduce the suffering of the soldiers.

She never expected that she would be targeted; this was a bit outrageous.

However, she had no reason to refuse the invitation from her superiors, and after careful consideration, Du Ruoxia nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go."

"The car is already parked outside. Please get ready and come with us in a bit."

Where are we going? How far is it?

Du Ruoxia hesitated for a moment, mainly because she wanted to know how far and cold the place was so she could pack herself up a bit later.

"Spanning two provinces and cities, located in the north."

"The temperature there is low, even now it's extremely cold, so bring more clothes and don't catch a cold on the way."

Du Ruoxia was a meritorious person, not a criminal, so they gave her a few more words of advice.

Du Ruoxia nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Thank you for reminding me. Since the journey is long, it seems I should prepare some dry food."

"There's no need to prepare dry rations. There are places to replenish supplies along the way, so you won't have to worry about food or water."

"I see, that's perfect."

Du Ruoxia smiled, turned around and walked out. The two soldiers also went outside to get the car.

After returning home, Du Ruoxia packed some clothes and left a letter for Yang Zeyan.

The car traveled for a day and a night, stopping for supplies several times along the way. Eating and using the restroom were no problem, but the journey was far too long. Du Ruoxia was newly pregnant and already somewhat weak, and now she was experiencing back pain.

She stretched several times in the car, and sometimes she was so tired that she fell asleep.

My bones were practically falling apart when the car finally stopped in front of a sanatorium.

Du Ruoxia squinted in confusion. This was a little different from what she had imagined.

Normally, the car should have been driven to the military base.

The sanatorium where the car was parked looked like a manor, with a quiet and peaceful environment.

"Dr. Du, we've arrived. Please get out of the car."

"Have you come to the wrong place? This is a sanatorium!"

Du Ruoxia sat in the car, unwilling to get out. She was a little wary, but after thinking about it carefully, she wasn't actually that scared.

These two men took her away from the military, which means that the military recognized their identities.

If they were able to take her away from the military, they must not be bad people.

Du Ruoxia breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still decided to ask for clarification.

If they refused to give a reasonable explanation, Du Ruoxia remained seated in the car and refused to get out.

"Dr. Du, I'm sorry, there were some things I didn't explain to you clearly before."

"Commander Li has fallen seriously ill. We heard that you are a highly skilled doctor, so we specially invited you to come and treat him."

The two soldiers quickly explained, and Du Ruoxia looked at them with suspicion.

"If that's the case, why didn't you say so before?"

Du Ruoxia noticed that there were many guards around the sanatorium, and the security measures were very good.

This place may seem unremarkable on the surface, but it is actually heavily fortified and extremely secure.

It may look like a sanatorium, but it could very well be a private hospital.

"Chief Li is of a high rank, and we cannot publicize that he is seriously ill. If it were to leak out, it might cause unrest."

Du Ruoxia had never met anyone at this level before, nor had she ever thought of this level.

After she calmed down, she continued to ask.

"So, when you said you were interested in the drug I developed and that you had conducted experiments, were you telling the truth or lying?"

Du Ruoxia was particularly concerned about this matter; she wanted to confirm whether she had been scammed.

"This may be an excuse for bringing you here, but it's actually the truth."

"We did conduct experiments on the medicine you developed, and after verifying it, we found it to be very effective."

“During this period, we also investigated you and learned that you have indeed performed many surgeries that others cannot.”

"After considering various factors, we decided to bring you here to check on Chief Li's condition."

The soldier explained it very clearly, and Du Ruoxia nodded with a cold face.

She was still a little depressed. As someone who was pregnant with triplets, she was already feeling unwell. She felt uncomfortable even sitting at home, yet she had to travel for a whole day and night in a car to see a doctor.

I arrived only to find out I'd been scammed, so naturally I wasn't in a good mood.

But the person she needed to see was a military commander.

Each of them has made countless contributions to the prosperity and stability of the country.

As Du Ruoxia thought this, the frustration in her heart dissipated.

She nodded and said, "Take me inside."

The two soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They showed their identification at the entrance of the sanatorium, and then soldiers in uniform and armed opened the door for them.

The car was stopped and inspected to ensure there were no problems before it could be driven to the designated location inside the sanatorium.

After the car came to a stop, someone drove it for Du Ruoxia.

Even her luggage and personal belongings were searched.

This level of inspection was indeed quite high, and Du Ruoxia patiently cooperated with it one by one.

However, if she had a choice, she wouldn't want to treat people who are too skilled.

The main problem was that she had been through a lot of trouble to see a doctor in the past, which seriously affected her mood.

But upon closer reflection, it's understandable, since she was meeting with a senior leader.

After the inspection was completed and no problems were found, the group was allowed to enter.

Once you arrive at the building, you will have to undergo a second inspection.

After all the checks were completed, Du Ruoxia was to be led by fully armed soldiers to see Commander Li.

Du Ruoxia had a cold face the whole way because she was in a bad mood.

They arrived at Commander Li's room, the door was pushed open, and two soldiers stood guard beside Du Ruoxia.

She went inside under their watchful eyes.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, but when she saw the kind-faced old man on the hospital bed, her mood instantly became peaceful.

The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a peaceful expression and a faint smile on his face.

When his gaze fell upon her, Du Ruoxia felt immense pressure.

Despite her seemingly indifferent gaze, Du Ruoxia didn't know why she felt so much pressure.

She smiled slightly, her tense expression finally relaxing.
