Faced with such an unreasonable person, Jiang Qiao was too lazy to explain further. "If you still want me to drag you out, you don't have to leave."

The male doctor and Zhu Lin pulled at her, saying, "Let's go, let's go. Everyone has different treatment habits. As long as the result is good, there's nothing to see. Ask us later if you have any doubts. Besides, Jiang Qiao is treating our comrade. If we can't do anything, can't we ask her to find a solution?"

"We're all doing this for Comrade Ning Hao's own good. Do you really want anything to happen to him? Hurry up and leave, don't waste time. Comrade Jiang Qiao, we'll keep watch outside. Don't worry, no one will bother you."

Zhu Lin knew about Jiang Qiao's situation. When they left, the little girl was unconscious, and she didn't know when the child recovered. She was worried about Jiang Qiao's health. If something happened to the child, she would feel sorry for the child, let alone save her grandson.

"Old Joe, will Joe be alright?"

Qiao Jie nodded, his expression somewhat grave. "The child will do her best. She just woke up the day before yesterday. Sigh, if something really happens, just don't blame the child. Everyone, please leave."

With Jiang Qiao's instructions, the old man moved a stool and sat at the door, forbidding anyone from entering. Of course, he also kept an eye on the child's condition. She was his granddaughter, and it was a good thing that she saved someone, but there was a condition: nothing could happen to their child.

Song Shutian was busy all morning, and as soon as he had some free time, he rushed over here. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw several people standing or sitting in the corridor.

Upon seeing Song Shutian, Xiao Jing immediately perked up. "Brother Song, who are those people in there? How can they be so arrogant? You need to teach that brat a lesson for me. I've never seen such an arrogant person before. They don't even respect us."

Song Shutian didn't care who was inside. The only person who could make Xiao Jing suffer was probably Jiang Qiao. That girl could scold anyone, let alone Xiao Jing, and he couldn't even show any temper. That girl was powerful; they even had to beg her to do things for them.

How could Song Shutian not know this girl who grew up in their compound?

He said in a serious tone, "Xiao Jing, it's not that I, as your brother, don't want to help you, but did you offend Jiang Qiao? That girl is usually quiet and unassuming. Unless someone provokes her, she definitely won't do anything else."

Xiao Jing pouted so hard her lips looked like they were hanging from an oil bottle. "I provoked her? I don't even know who she is, how could I have provoked her? She's the one being unreasonable, so why is it being blamed on me?"

Brother Song, do you know this person? What does she do?

Song Shutian chuckled. "Of course I know him. If I didn't, would I have invited him to treat Ning Hao? Skilled doctors often have a temper, which is understandable. You should probably tone it down, girl. This isn't our compound—"

Xiao Jing said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Brother Song, we're brothers, you can't just stand by and watch others bully me."

Song Shutian shook his head helplessly. "Just because you called me 'Big Brother,' I can't let anyone bully you. But the premise is that you have to be in the right. Were you speaking to that old man in a bad tone today?"

The reason Jiang Qiao was able to take action was probably because of Old Master Qiao. In the girl's heart, Qiao Jie was no different from her own grandfather.

Xiao Jing was puzzled. Normally, someone like Song Shutian would be respected by everyone. For him to say such a thing, it seemed that Jiang Qiao really had some influence.

The male doctor next to Song Shutian looked at him with admiration. Only he dared to speak ill of her. This Xiao Jing was good-looking, but her temper was unbearable. However, her father was a military commander, so she had the right to be arrogant.

Song Shutian asked Ning Zhengtao about the situation inside. Since he wasn't allowed in, it must be that Jiang Qiao was receiving treatment inside.

"How long have you been inside?"

Ning Zhengtao said with a worried look, "It's been more than half an hour since we went in, and there's still no movement. I don't know how this girl and Old Qiao are treating the illness?"

Ning Zhengtao knew that Jiang Qiao knew acupuncture, but in his mind, it was mainly Qiao Jie's doing. That old man had been practicing medicine for so many years, and not to mention his experience, his age alone was far superior to Jiang Qiao's.

Song Shutian nodded without saying a word, just standing at the door, not even letting Xiao Jing peek through the crack in the door.

With a stern face, he scolded, "Behave yourself. This is a matter of life and death. Do you think just anyone can cure Ning Hao? If you want Ning Hao to recover, you'd better wait patiently. Okay? We'll talk about it after he gets out."

As for how Jiang Qiao was treated, he didn't mention a word, but it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.

Although Xiao Jing was from the same compound as him, he preferred this quiet girl to Jiang Qiao, who was known for her strong sense of justice in crucial moments.

Although Song Shutian was much older than Jiang Qiao, in Song Shutian's heart, their friendship was truly one of life-or-death bond. Their relationship was more like that of friends, where they could communicate without reservation and trust each other completely.

Song Shutian had a stern face, and the others dared not utter a sound. Those waiting outside were enduring every second of agony, and those inside were probably having an even harder time.

Qiao Jie's worried gaze remained fixed on his granddaughter. Ever since Jiang Qiao started sweating, Qiao Jie's heart had been in his throat, fearing that the girl wouldn't be able to hold on and would collapse to the ground.

At this moment, he couldn't speak, afraid that his voice would disturb the child's mind and cause a repeat of the last incident. He didn't know if the child would have another chance to wake up.

Jiang Qiao, who treated Ning Hao, was well aware of how difficult it was to remove the poison. Not to mention that she had never treated such a case before, even with the two books given to her by Hou Diankui as a backup, she was still unsure of the outcome. She didn't know what the result would be until the very end.

As time passed, those waiting outside became increasingly impatient. Even Zhu Lin paced back and forth in the corridor. No one knew how much she was suffering inside, desperately wanting to know about her grandson's condition, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Qiao'er—"

Hearing the shouts from inside, Song Shutian was the first to kick open the door and rush in. He saw Qiao Jie carrying Jiang Qiao, who was nearly unconscious, and immediately reached out to help.

Song Shutian was one of their own, and Qiao Jie knew this very well. "Hurry up, take Qiao'er to an empty room, she needs to rest. Lao Ning, you two, quickly give the child this medicine, and use this medicine diluted with hot water to give the child a bath. Be quick—"

Qiao Jie had no time to care about Ning Hao. Jiang Qiao was still unaware of the situation. The old man followed Song Shutian shakily to the next room, which was mainly for family members to rest in. For the time being, he had requisitioned it.

"Jiang Qiao, how are you? Are you alright? Should we call a doctor?"

Before Jiang Qiao could even answer, the old man spoke up for her, "Xiao Song, no need. Let the girl recover on her own. Let's go out and let the child lie down for a while."

Song Shutian knew exactly how Jiang Qiao had fainted last time. He did whatever Qiao Jie asked him to do because he was afraid that if something went wrong and the little girl was gone, who would he complain to?
