Chapter 518: Thanks to You
In response to Political Commissar Zhang's surprise, Lu Ye smiled and said, "Well, she's young, just over the legal age."
Bai Zhi brought over some tea and placed it on the table. "Political Commissar Zhang, please have some tea."
"Comrade Xiaobai, please don't be shy, have a seat."
After Bai Zhi sat down, Political Commissar Zhang stood up, bowed to her sincerely, and said, "Thank you for saving my son today. I heard that the situation was critical at the time, and you saved him by using acupuncture."
The other party was, after all, the political commissar, Lu Ye's leader. Such politeness and respect made Bai Zhi feel a little awkward. "Political Commissar Zhang, please don't be so polite. It was just a small favor."
"Please sit down and let's talk."
"good."
Political Commissar Zhang sat back down on the sofa, and Lu Ye asked, "How is Xiao Wei doing now?"
"She's asleep."
Political Commissar Zhang came today not only to express his gratitude, but also for a more important purpose.
He looked at Bai Zhi and asked sincerely, "Comrade Bai, I know you are a doctor. In your opinion, how should my son be treated?"
Bai Zhi didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Political Commissar Zhang, shouldn't the child be receiving treatment at the hospital?"
"I was treated and went back to school after my condition stabilized, but I still can't avoid having relapses from time to time."
When asked about his son's illness, Political Commissar Zhang looked worried. He sighed, "I'm usually busy with work and don't pay much attention to my child. During holidays, I'm always visiting neighbors. Now that he's in this condition, I'm embarrassed to trouble the neighbors to take care of him."
Although everyone is kind-hearted, his unpredictable outbursts always cause a lot of trouble for the neighbors.
It also puts people at risk.
As children grow up, this disease can cause them a lot of distress, affecting both their physical and mental well-being.
Since Political Commissar Zhang came to ask her for advice with sincerity, Bai Zhi naturally did not hold back. She knew very well that as the political commissar, he must know more about her background than others when she treated Lu Ye.
She said, "To be honest, when I was in Nancheng, I had just cured a child with epilepsy."
"Really?" This news was incredibly exciting for Political Commissar Zhang.
He knew that Bai Zhi was a disciple of a master and could cure special poisons that the doctors at the military hospital couldn't handle, but he was not sure about her abilities in treating other diseases. If she hadn't saved his son today, he wouldn't have thought of asking her for treatment.
He came to visit this time with a "let's give it a try" attitude.
I never expected that she had treated this type of case before.
Political Commissar Zhang's dull and tired eyes now shone brightly.
Lu Ye added from the side, "That's right, my wife cured Battalion Commander Gu Jingyi's niece."
Lu Ye seemed to have mentioned Gu Jingyi's name on purpose.
Although there was suspicion of him leaking other people's privacy, Bai Zhi believed that he had his own plans.
Political Commissar Zhang paused slightly upon hearing Gu Jingyi's name. "Little Gu's niece?"
When Political Commissar Zhang mentioned Gu Jingyi, Bai Zhi subtly observed his facial micro-expressions.
However, Political Commissar Zhang only paused slightly, without any other emotional change.
“Yes, the child has recovered now,” Bai Zhi confirmed Lu Ye’s statement.
"That's great."
"Comrade Xiaobai, could you accept my son as a patient?" Political Commissar Zhang felt relieved when he heard that Bai Zhi had a precedent of treating this disease.
His expression was extremely sincere as he looked at Bai Zhi with pleading eyes, his attitude quite earnest.
"Political Commissar Zhang, I'm very glad you trust me so much." Bai Zhi hesitated, looking troubled. "However, I'm a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and my treatment plan might differ from that of the hospital. Taking Chinese medicine and acupuncture might be a bit cruel for the child..."
Let alone children, many parents, unless they are truly desperate, would not be willing to let their children undergo acupuncture treatment.
After all, parents don't understand acupuncture and acupoints; they only see long silver needles piercing their child's flesh, and some special acupoints look very dangerous...
Therefore, Bai Zhi first explained the drawbacks of traditional Chinese medicine treatment to the other party.
Political Commissar Zhang immediately stated, "That's alright. I'm familiar with traditional Chinese medicine treatments, and I trust your medical skills. We will unconditionally follow your instructions; we'll treat you however you say."
Since the other party had said so, Bai Zhi naturally had no worries. She replied, "Okay, the New Year is coming soon. I'll show it to the child after the New Year so he can have a happy New Year."
If acupuncture and bitter medicine are added later, the child won't be so happy.
Political Commissar Zhang understood Bai Zhi's good intentions for the child. Since she had taken on his son as a patient, she wouldn't go back on her word. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Xiao Lu, you are so lucky."
As Political Commissar Zhang said this, a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes.
It seems she was thinking of her lover.
She was once a doctor who saved lives.
Lu Ye expressed his strong agreement with Political Commissar Zhang's words.
He is truly blessed.
"Then I won't bother you any longer." Before leaving, Political Commissar Zhang thanked Bai Zhi again.
After seeing Political Commissar Zhang off, Bai Zhi seized the opportunity to bring up the matter that Lu Shan had entrusted to her, saying, "Lu Ye, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."
Lu Ye closed the door and sat down, looking at his wife intently and listening to what she had to say next.
Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and said in a serious tone, "Before I came, my sister talked to me a lot. She asked me to stand in for her and asked you to do her a favor."
As soon as Bai Zhi spoke, Lu Ye guessed what it was about, "Is it still about Gu Jingyi?"
Bai Zhi responded, "Yes, I feel that my sister's mental endurance has reached its limit. She desperately wants to find out about Battalion Commander Gu. She asked you to help her talk to the leaders and see if they can reveal a little bit of information."
"Is she so sure the person is still alive?" Lu Ye asked rhetorically.
"Of course I'm alive."
Bai Zhi realized her answer had been too definitive. Her eyes flickered slightly as she said, "You must also know that Battalion Commander Gu definitely didn't die. Otherwise, your unit wouldn't have been completely without any news. If he had died, wouldn't you have informed his family?"
"I think no news is good news."
Lu Ye realized that this was how Bai Zhi understood it.
He smiled bitterly to himself; she was still too naive.
Due to limitations in resources, leaders may not receive timely news of missing or killed soldiers.
Bai Zhi continued in a somber tone, "Before I came here, I treated Battalion Commander Gu's father. He somehow got a rumor that his son was in grave danger, and then he fainted."
Battalion Commander Gu's safety has truly touched the hearts of many, especially his parents and sister; they are suffering terribly. Let's help them, without violating discipline or principles.
Lu Ye agreed, "I'll go to the regimental headquarters tomorrow."
"By the way, I heard you also treated a narcotics officer at the military hospital?" He looked at Bai Zhi to confirm.
Bai Zhi realized that Lu Ye was referring to Comrade Ai Qing. She nodded, "Yes, my sister and I treated her together. Her condition was similar to yours, and she has already recovered and been discharged from the hospital."
Upon hearing this news, Lu Ye was genuinely gratified. His gaze towards Bai Zhi was filled with not only love but also a great deal of respect. "Thanks to you all."
