Chapter 734: His Dilemma
Commissar Zhang looked very stern and said, "The key is that they are speaking up for Lu Shan. You went too far. You hurt her sister so badly. Who would be willing to treat you? Lu Shan is already thirty-one years old. She hasn't been in contact with any men for two years while waiting for you. She inquires about you everywhere every day, saying she wants to see you alive or dead."
Now that we've waited and waited so long for you to come back, you're so resolute, giving people the cold shoulder. As her family, how can we stand by and watch? Even I, an outsider, can't stand it!
Commissar Zhang angrily lectured him, "Your actions not only hurt Lu Shan, but also hurt yourself."
"The reason the drug poisoning in your body hasn't taken effect is because Bai Zhi has been suppressing it with acupuncture every day. Now that you're about to pass away, there's nothing we can do to stop you. Once the 24-hour acupuncture effect wears off, we can only give you sedatives at night. Nobody can say how well the medication can suppress it, and what if your wound reopens..."
As Political Commissar Zhang spoke of this, he thought of Lu Ye from last year, and his expression became solemn.
“After you were injured, the military leaders and hospital leaders attached great importance to it and mobilized the best resources to treat you. But Bai Zhi is not a doctor in a military hospital after all, and even Dean Liu has to give her some face. Now that things have turned out like this, if she wants to leave, even if the leaders are discharged from the hospital, they may not be able to stop her.”
"And then there's her maternal grandfather, Doctor Ye, whose temper is even more eccentric; even Dean Liu has been rebuffed by him several times."
"unless……"
Political Commissar Zhang's eyes flickered slightly as he offered his advice.
"Stop putting on airs and have a good talk with Director Lu. Even if you can't be lovers in the future, you can still be friends. After all, he performed surgery on you and saved your life."
Gu Jingyi seemed to have been persuaded by Political Commissar Zhang.
However, he lowered his eyes, looking helplessly at his own body, his tone filled with despair, "I'm lying in bed unable to move, how can I go and talk to her?"
Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang's eyes flickered slightly. "If you can change your temper and treat people better, I can swallow my pride and beg Director Lu. He shouldn't have left yet at this hour."
Gu Jingyi fell silent again.
Political Commissar Zhang was pacing anxiously, "Say something! Even if our troops and the hospital work together to keep the person here, with your attitude, they'll still leave."
He added fuel to the fire, "Lu Shan has had a tough two years, and her family has seen it all. Lu Ye and his wife will never allow anyone to hurt his sister, so do you understand what I mean?"
How could Gu Jingyi not understand?
Bai Zhi and Lu Ye's protective attitude yesterday explained everything.
After a long silence, he spoke weakly, "I was rude yesterday, but I just didn't want to drag her down."
"She's a doctor, and you're a patient. There's no question of her being a burden or not. You can deal with your emotional entanglements after you recover. Right now, saving your life is the priority. Don't get caught up in these romantic feelings. She hasn't said anything about wanting to do anything with you."
Gu Jingyi, "!!!"
"After all, two years have passed. Director Lu is only trying to cure you because of our past relationship and his duty as a doctor. You don't really need to think too much about it."
Commissar Zhang's words made Gu Jingyi feel somewhat humiliated.
Yes, he shouldn't overthink it.
They just wanted to save his life.
And what's in his head?
He replied, "I understand, I will cooperate with the treatment."
"In that case, I'll use the hospital's phone to call Dr. Bai Zhi and ask where they are."
Political Commissar Zhang left in a great hurry.
About five minutes later, it came back.
Political Commissar Zhang said sternly, "I'll have Lu Ye and Dr. Xiao Bai persuade Director Lu to be nicer to the person when they arrive."
"Okay." This time, Gu Jingyi's attitude was quite obedient.
Political Commissar Zhang continued, "In addition, with the approval of the regimental commander, two comrades have been sent to Nancheng to pick up your parents."
Upon hearing of the organization's concern for him, Gu Jingyi sincerely said, "Thank you."
After leaving the ward, Political Commissar Zhang went to Bai Zhi's studio, where Lu Ye and Lu Shan were.
"Political Commissar Zhang, how is it?" Bai Zhi asked.
Political Commissar Zhang laughed and said, "When Battalion Commander Gu heard that you could cure him, his eyes lit up."
"Lu Ye's guess was correct. He kept her at arm's length because he was afraid that his health was too serious and would be a burden to Director Lu."
Upon learning of Gu Jingyi's good intentions, Lu Shan could no longer sit still. "I'm going to see him right now."
Political Commissar Zhang hurriedly said, "No, if you go now, won't I be exposed? Let's wait a bit and let him suffer a little longer."
Bai Zhi also said, "Sister, let's go over after lunch, and bring him some food."
Bai Zhi still had patients, so Political Commissar Zhang and Lu Ye didn't want to disturb her. They said they had to go to a meeting and left.
It's the weekend, but Shen Qian still came to work.
She hadn't seen Lu Shan for the past few days, but she finally saw her today.
"Sister Lu Shan, it's been a long time!"
Lu Shan was very friendly when she saw Shen Qian. She smiled and said, "Qian, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you and Xiao Zhi to be working together again."
"Thanks to Dr. Xiaobai's kindness."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Shan, Shen Qian went to change into her white coat. "Do we need to perform acupuncture on the patients today?"
Bai Zhi said, "Take a break today. You can go and perform moxibustion on them first. Then, have them have their blood drawn for tests tomorrow morning. This course of treatment is now complete. If there are no problems with the treatment, Dr. Zhao can take them away."
"Take him away? Does that mean he won't need further treatment?" Shen Qian asked, puzzled.
Although the two patients are currently being treated and their symptoms are not flaring up, according to the treatment schedule, they have not yet met the criteria for discharge.
Bai Zhi explained, "Just give them the herbal medicine. We may have other patients admitted later. We don't have enough beds."
Once Gu Jingyi has rested there for another week and his wounds meet the discharge criteria, he will need to be transferred to their hospital for further treatment.
Gu Jingyi has a special status; if they transfer him here, their studio will no longer be able to treat other patients.
To prevent his identity from being exposed and to avoid being targeted by criminals who could retaliate against him and his family.
"Okay, we understand."
Shen Qian and two other male doctors took the moxibustion sticks to the treatment room.
Lu Shan, unable to stay idle, tidied up some books on Bai Zhi's desk.
Just then, Ye Qingbai arrived.
"Xiaozhi, you still have to work today, it's Sunday? Ever since Xiaoqian started working here, she hasn't had a single day off..."
As soon as Ye Qingbai finished speaking, he saw the people in Bai Zhi's office and looked stunned, as if he were hallucinating.
"Dr. Lu... Dr. Lu." Ye Qingbai was surprised and slightly embarrassed when he saw Lu Shan.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
What's there to be embarrassed about?
He came to see his girlfriend.
