Ji Guizhang saw Bai Jiaojiao waiting alone at the door from afar. His senior brother walked closer and asked her, "Why didn't your precious son come with you?"

Bai Jiaojiao: "...We're here to do serious business today, he went out and wandered around by himself."

Bai Jiaojiao's senior sister said enviously, "If my boyfriend were like that, I would love it so much that I would never be able to leave him."

"How old are you? Do you still think of yourself as a little baby?" The senior brother scoffed, thinking that a man who revolves around his wife like that has no ambition.

Ji Guizhang said, "Alright, that's enough. Let's go upstairs quickly."

Yesterday, Ji Guizhang instructed them to get up early so that they could see the patient before the surgery.

But as soon as they reached the ward duty room, the doctor who had just changed shifts came over with a worried look on his face: "Dr. Ji, something has happened. The patient refuses to have the surgery no matter what."

"You don't want to have surgery?"

“He suddenly became unwilling last night. We nurses tried to persuade him for a while and thought we had succeeded, but when we drew blood this morning, he said he had eaten something.”

"Why are you unwilling to do it? Are you afraid? Have you asked for the reasons clearly?"

Ji Guizhang had come all this way, and he couldn't leave empty-handed. However, he was also very busy in Yancheng. There were many patients waiting for him at Yancheng Hospital, and he also had to do scientific research and mentor students. The fact that he could take the time to come here was truly a testament to the life-saving grace that the old man's son had shown him in the trenches.

"We don't know!"

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the anxious doctor and said, "Teacher Ji, I might know why."

"you?"

Ji Guizhang looked at Bai Jiaojiao. He knew that Bai Jiaojiao was more intelligent than the other students, but how did she know this? Did she see a ghost?

Last night, Bai Jiaojiao really saw a ghost.

“Teacher Ji, last night Aunt Liu thought you were staying at the guesthouse. She came to our door in the middle of the night with a bundle, which looked like a gift for you. But when she saw that it was just me and Heng in the room, she thought we were too young and said that you are now successful and don’t care about them. Maybe she thought that she would not trust me to handle things.”

Bai Jiaojiao presented the facts, and Ji Guizhang, ever stubborn, straightened his white coat.

"Where's the phone here? I need to call Liu Dazhuang!"

"Professor Ji, please come with me."

The doctor on duty also felt that Bai Jiaojiao's words were a bit outrageous, no wonder Ji Guizhang was angry.

He took Ji Guizhang to their doctor's office, where there was a telephone for communication.

"Connect me to Liu Dazhuang!"

Liu Dazhuang is currently far away in the Great Northern Wilderness. His father suddenly fainted at home but couldn't go back. When he called him, this tough man almost cried, saying that the doctors here said they couldn't perform the surgery and that the hospital told him to come to him.

He agreed without batting an eye, but who knew the old man and woman would pull this stunt.

Liu Dazhuang was startled when he received the call from the hospital.

"Liu Dazhuang, what's wrong with you? Did you even communicate with your family? Do you know how precious my time is? The time I spend coming to your hometown and back is enough for me to save four or five of your fathers!"

"Chief Ji, what do you mean by that? My father, what happened to him? Did something go wrong with the surgery?"

Liu Dazhuang's legs felt a little weak. He supported himself on the table with his other hand, his hand holding the microphone tightly: "Chief Ji, go ahead and say it. I can handle it."

"You think you can hold on? Your dad's not cooperating right now, so the surgery can't be done! I already canceled my plans in Yancheng to come here. If I go back too late, what will happen to everything that was arranged? Tell me, should I go back now, or stay here and wait for your dad to come to his senses and decide what to do next?"

Ji Guizhang's temper was just like that; a scolding from him made Liu Dazhuang stand at attention on the other end of the phone.

"Sir, this is definitely my father's fault. Please don't go back, I beg you, please let my father come here, I'll talk to him, please!"

The doctors at the hospital told him that only Ji Guizhang in the whole country could perform his father's surgery. If he didn't have surgery and opted for conservative treatment, he would be bedridden for life, and even the slightest movement could cause the tumor to rupture, which would kill the old man.

He knew that Ji Guizhang was only coming because he was giving him face. He had already made arrangements with his family, but his parents changed their minds again.

Ji Guizhang tossed the phone aside but didn't hang up.

The on-duty doctor saw that Ji Guizhang was standing there with his hands on his hips, not saying a word, so he didn't dare to provoke him.

"Doctor, could you ask Aunt Liu to come over and answer the phone? Have her son persuade her to get the surgery done quickly." Bai Jiaojiao immediately understood Ji Guizhang's meaning. The doctor heard this and immediately nodded as he went out to find someone.

Aunt Liu was quickly pulled over. When she saw Bai Jiaojiao there, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Don't say anything, don't try to persuade me. We won't have the surgery, we won't!"

The entire hospital can't perform this surgery, what can a young girl do? These doctors can kill people without being punished, isn't this just fooling them?

Bai Jiaojiao said, "Auntie, our teacher Ji took five trains to get here just for Grandpa's surgery. You're just going to cancel it like that. Not only is that irresponsible towards Grandpa's health, but it's also delaying the treatment time for other patients in Yancheng!"

"Your teacher Ji? He's here? Which one is your teacher Ji?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman glanced around the office.

"That's our teacher, Ms. Ji."

Bai Jiaojiao pointed at Ji Guizhang, who was standing with his hands on his hips and a cold expression, and said, "Why don't you go get that microphone and make a call to your son?"

"You're the Professor Ji Guizhang my son was talking about?"

The old woman looked up at Ji Guizhang. Although Ji Guizhang was cold and angry, and his attitude could be described as extremely bad, the old woman was still swayed by this and felt that Ji Guizhang was the only reliable one.

"Ask your son."

Ji Guizhang stood with his hands behind his back and pointed to the phone.

"Hello? Dazhuang?"

"Mom! What happened between you and Dad? Why aren't you having the surgery?"

When Liu Dazhuang heard his mother's voice, he was completely bewildered.

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes, realizing she had misunderstood. She quickly looked at Ji Guizhang, seemingly talking to Liu Dazhuang, but actually speaking to Ji Guizhang.

"It's not that we don't want to perform the surgery, it's just that your father forgot last night and accidentally ate something because he was hungry, so the doctor said it can't be done. Professor Ji, Chief Ji, we're so sorry! We will definitely cooperate, please don't be angry!"

Aunt Liu's attitude changed in an instant; she hadn't said the same thing when she first came in.

"Mother, you're so careless! Chief Ji coming here is already a huge favor to our family, why did you make him wait for us?"

Liu Dazhuang paced anxiously in circles.

"Oh dear, your parents are old now, they don't have such good memories anymore."
