Chapter 29 The Free Clinic Incident

As the morning sunlight streamed through the window, Su Yue lay in bed and quickly planned out her day's activities.

She heard that the military hospital was holding a free clinic for all family members today, and this was a perfect opportunity that came knocking on her door.

She wanted everyone to know that Gu Beichen's fiancée was not just a pretty face from a capitalist family.

The entrance to the military hospital was bustling with people.

As Su Yue approached, she saw a familiar figure. Liang Manyun was standing at the free clinic registration desk, wearing a white coat and a name tag on her chest, looking every bit the person in charge.

Upon seeing Su Yue, a hint of surprise flashed in Liang Manyun's eyes, but she quickly put on a warm smile.

"Oh my, isn't this Comrade Su Yue? What brings you to our hospital? Are you here for a medical checkup too?"

That makes it sound like Su Yue is a sickly person.

Su Yue smiled gently, her smile as warm as a spring breeze: "Hello Dr. Liang, I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to help. I heard there's a free clinic today, and since I'm also studying medicine, I wanted to see if there's anything I can do to lend a hand."

Liang Manyun's smile froze for a moment. She looked Su Yue up and down, her contempt barely concealed.

"Help? Comrade Su Yue, you must be joking."

"We have regular military doctors here. Free medical consultations are a big deal, related to the health of military families. This is not a place for empty talk."

Her voice wasn't loud, but several military wives in the queue around her heard it and cast curious glances at her.

Su Yue's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes turned colder.

"Dr. Liang is right. Treating and saving lives is not just about empty talk. Unlike some people, who spend all their energy on empty talk, I wonder if they have any energy left to treat and save lives."

"You!" Liang Manyun's face flushed red instantly.

Just then, a burst of screams and cries suddenly erupted from the crowd!

"Oh my god! Someone, come quick! What's wrong with my Tiedan?!"

A young military wife, carrying a three- or four-year-old child, rushed out of the crowd, her face filled with terror.

The child was burning hot, his lips were purple, his limbs were twitching uncontrollably, and his eyes were rolling upwards.

"High fever and convulsions!"

The doctors on the scene immediately rushed over, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

"Quickly! Use physical cooling methods!"

"Your temperature is too high! You need medication! Where's the tranquilizer? Go get it quickly!"

"It's too late! His breathing is failing!"

The mother's cries were heart-wrenching, and the surrounding military wives turned pale with fright.

Liang Manyun panicked as well, giving instructions but unable to come up with any effective solutions.

"Get out of the way!"

A clear and calm voice pierced through the chaos.

Su Yue pushed through the crowd, quickly walked to the child, squatted down, and swiftly probed the child's philtrum and neck with her fingers.

"Acute febrile seizures, if left untreated any longer, the child's brain will be damaged by the fever!"

Seeing her step forward, Liang Manyun immediately shouted at her sternly, "Su Yue! What are you doing! This is a hospital, it's not your place to act recklessly! Can you take responsibility if something happens?"

Su Yue didn't turn her head, her voice as cold as ice: "You'll take responsibility? What can you do besides yelling here? Just watch him die?"

Her words were like a slap in the face, striking Liang Manyun hard across the cheek.

Su Yue ignored her and quickly took out a small acupuncture kit from the cloth bag she carried with her.

She had prepared this in advance, taking it out of her spatial storage and putting it in her bag.

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, she picked up a slender silver needle, her movements swift as lightning and steady as a rock, and precisely pierced the Baihui acupoint on the top of the child's head.

Immediately afterwards, several more silver needles were inserted into acupoints such as Dazhui, Quchi, and Hegu.

Her technique was dazzling, yet it possessed a steady rhythm.

All the doctors present, including Liang Manyun, were dumbfounded.

Acupuncture?

Are you kidding me!

Can this thing cure this kind of acute illness?

However, the next second, a miracle happened.

The child, who had been convulsing violently, visibly slowed down the shaking.

The convulsions stopped completely in just one minute.

The horrifying bluish-purple color on his face slowly faded, and his rapid breathing became steady and long.

The entire scene was completely silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they were watching a deity descend to earth.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Yue's forehead. She removed the silver needles and said to a young doctor next to her who was completely stunned, "The child's fever has subsided, but the cause still needs to be investigated. You can take him for a detailed examination now."

The young doctor then seemed to snap out of his daze and stammered, "Ah... okay, okay!"

With a "waaaah," the child burst into tears.

Although the voice was weak, it was loud and powerful.

The young military wife was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt down in front of Su Yue, hugged her legs and burst into tears.

"Miracle doctor! Thank you! Thank you for saving my son's life!"

You are our family's greatest benefactor!

Su Yue quickly helped her up: "Sister-in-law, get up quickly, I just did what I should do."

The military wives around them also came to their senses and immediately erupted in a commotion!

"My God! Commander Gu's fiancée is actually a miracle doctor!"

"That's amazing! With just a few needles, they pulled someone back from the brink of death!"

"This is far better than some doctors who only make sarcastic remarks!"

Heartfelt praises flooded Su Yue like a tidal wave.

Liang Manyun stood outside the crowd, her face ashen, her features almost contorted with jealousy.

As she watched Su Yue being surrounded by everyone and enjoying hero-like treatment, the jealousy in her heart was burning so fiercely that she was about to go crazy.

She absolutely couldn't let Su Yue steal the spotlight like this!

She pushed through the crowd, raised her voice, and shouted shrilly, "Everyone, don't get agitated! This might just be a coincidence! She doesn't even have a medical license from our hospital, yet she dares to give injections to people so casually. That's irresponsible! What if that injection went astray and someone died?"

These words immediately brought the lively atmosphere at the scene to a standstill.

Yes, she's not a doctor at the hospital, what if...

Just as everyone was hesitating, a joyful voice came from the hospital entrance.

"Little Su! I've finally found you!"

Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a cadre uniform, with an extraordinary demeanor, walking briskly towards them, his face full of joy.

It was Shen Jianguo!

Upon seeing Su Yue surrounded by a crowd, Shen Jianguo immediately stepped forward and said excitedly, "I heard you were here and was just about to go to the family compound to look for you! I didn't expect you to be here saving someone again!"

He turned to the puzzled crowd and introduced himself loudly: "Comrades, I am Shen Jianguo, the chief engineer from Beijing. Let me introduce you! This Comrade Su Yue is no ordinary person! A few days ago on the train, it was she who saved my grandfather's life with her superb medical skills!"

Beijing!

Chief Engineer!

These words, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in everyone's ears.

The voices questioning Su Yue vanished instantly.

If a doctor can cure someone's grandfather and is even sought out by the grandfather's grandson as a benefactor, how could his medical skills be fake?

This background is even more frighteningly strong!

Liang Manyun's face turned deathly pale instantly, completely devoid of color.

At this moment, the hospital director also rushed over upon hearing the news. He happened to hear Shen Jianguo's words and his eyes immediately filled with shock and admiration as he looked at Su Yue.

"Comrade Su Yue!" The hospital director warmly grasped Su Yue's hand. "Seeing is believing! We have all witnessed your medical skills firsthand! On behalf of the military hospital, I formally invite you to join us! We desperately need someone with your talent!"

Faced with the dean's warm invitation, Su Yue simply smiled faintly.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Dean. I'd like to consider this matter first."

She's not in a hurry.

You have to play the cards one by one.

Liang Manyun hid in a corner, watching Su Yue being surrounded by the dean and Shen Jianguo like a star, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

Her eyes, filled with resentment, were fixed on Su Yue.
