Chapter 554: The Flood Washed Away the Dragon King's Temple
Mr. Sun and his wife left the hospital.
As soon as I got home, I called my old comrade-in-arms to contact the professional medical team at the Nancheng Military Region Hospital.
They did heed what Bai Zhi said earlier.
Putting aside the drug poisoning in their son's body, brain surgery alone requires him to be free from bumps and movement.
The consequences of bleeding would be unimaginable.
Therefore, he wondered if he could invite experts from Nancheng to come and consult directly.
If it's truly impossible to find someone, then as a last resort, we'll have to use resources to transport them by helicopter.
He dialed a number and spoke to the person on the other end.
"Old Lu, it's me, Old Sun."
Soon, a loud, clear voice came from the other end of the phone, "Old Sun, how was the New Year?"
"Sigh." Old Sun sighed, his face full of worry.
Old Lu asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you sighing during the New Year? Didn't your children come back to celebrate the New Year with you and your siblings?"
Old Sun took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Old Lu, I have a favor to ask of you."
"What is it? Speak. With our life-or-death bond, do I need to ask for anything?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Sun stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Sun Cheng is in trouble."
“The situation is the same as your grandson’s last year,” he added gravely.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu was greatly shocked. "What?"
Without much explanation, Old Sun directly stated the purpose of his call: "I remember you mentioned to me that your granddaughter-in-law is an expert in this field and has established a research and development team at the Nancheng Military Region Hospital. How skilled are the doctors on their team? Are they willing to go out for consultations? Could you help me make contact so I can hire them at a high salary to come to the military hospital for a consultation for my son?"
Old Lu hadn't yet processed the fact that his old comrade's son had also met with misfortune. Upon hearing his request, he could only regretfully inform him, "Old Sun, my granddaughter-in-law is no longer at the Nancheng Military Region Hospital, and their research and development team has also disbanded."
"Huh? They've disbanded?" Upon hearing the other party's words, Old Sun's heart sank instantly.
Many hypotheses flashed through my mind.
Was it because their medical skills were inadequate and they didn't achieve any research results that they were disbanded?
He pressed, "What exactly happened?"
Old Lu said, "My granddaughter-in-law went with the army."
"You've joined the army?"
"Which hospital is your son Sun Cheng in? I'll call my granddaughter-in-law right now." With lives at stake, Old Lu didn't dare delay and wanted to get his old comrade-in-arms in touch with Bai Zhi as soon as possible; saving lives was the priority.
Mr. Sun gave the hospital's name and address.
Upon hearing this, Old Lu slapped his thigh, his tone full of joy, "My grandson Lu Ye is in the army over there, and his wife just joined him before the new year. It seems your Sun Cheng is lucky and has a good life."
"That's great! Could you help me contact her?"
"Okay, I'll call her right away."
After saying that, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.
Old Sun put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. He said to his wife, "As soon as Lao Lu can contact his granddaughter-in-law, we'll send someone to pick her up immediately."
Mrs. Sun listened to their phone call the whole time without interrupting.
But as she sat there listening to their conversation, she caught some information. She pondered, "That's not right. Old Sun, Lu Ye, the grandson of Old Lu, is in the 203rd Regiment. The family compound where the officers of the 203rd Regiment live should be the place we passed by today."
"Really?" Old Master Sun was overjoyed upon hearing this.
In that case, it's very close to them, so it will be convenient and time-saving to pick them up later.
"When we passed by today, I saw that it was a military family compound. There's only one regiment nearby, so Lu Ye must live there."
"His girlfriend came with the military and should be there."
Although Mrs. Sun was seventy years old, her mind was quite clear. She immediately made the connection, "So, that little girl we met today..."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Old Sun realized what she meant. His stern gaze suddenly widened as he looked at her incredulously. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
Madam Sun, however, said with certainty, "I think it's very likely."
Doctors are not uncommon.
However, there aren't that many traditional Chinese medicine experts who can detoxify, so that you can't just randomly encounter one on the street.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Old Sun slapped his forehead in annoyance, "I forgot to ask Old Lu what his granddaughter-in-law's name is."
They panicked when their son got into trouble.
Looking ahead without considering the future.
His wife suggested, "Let's call him and ask him."
"Okay." Old Sun hurriedly dialed the phone again.
The result shows that the line is busy.
The elderly couple sat on the sofa, calmed down, and pieced together all the clues from the day. Mrs. Sun concluded, "I think that Dr. Xiao Bai is most likely Mr. Lu's granddaughter-in-law. Dean Liu even said that she is also from Nancheng."
She looked at Old Master Sun with a stern face and rebuked him with dissatisfaction, "You openly criticized their medical skills and were very unfriendly to their doctors. What if she holds a grudge against our family and refuses to treat Sun Cheng?"
“It’s not that bad,” said Old Sun. “Old Lu’s granddaughter-in-law would never be so narrow-minded.”
Although Old Sun was annoyed by his lack of respect for others, he was more delighted than anything else.
If that Dr. Bai is indeed Old Master Lu's granddaughter-in-law, then they wouldn't need to transfer to another hospital, nor would they need to go through the trouble of searching for her.
"If she really is Lao Lu's granddaughter-in-law, we'll go find her later and apologize in person."
As long as they are sincere, he believes that Bai Zhi will not hold it against them for the sake of Elder Lu.
Moreover, doctors are compassionate.
Madam Sun nodded, "Alright, call Lao Lu again later and make sure to find out her identity."
Bai Zhi changed her clothes in the doctor's office and then went to Ye Qingbai's ward to take the thermos home.
"Cousin, what brings you to the hospital today?" Ye Qingbai asked, recalling his suspicions. "Is there a patient who needs your treatment?"
Bai Zhi originally wanted to tell Ye Qingbai that she had been coming every day recently and could bring him food.
But with this unexpected incident, it's uncertain whether she'll come tomorrow.
"If I come again tomorrow, I'll bring you food."
Upon hearing that Bai Zhi really had official business to attend to, Ye Qingbai said, "You don't need to bring lunch anymore. I was just joking with you. How could I let you bring lunch every day? I'll start eating at the cafeteria tomorrow. You can stew some meat for me whenever you have time."
Ye Qingbai looked at his arm and said with a smile, "Or, when I'm discharged from the hospital, I can eat at home, and you can give me a good boost."
He'll be able to be discharged and recuperate after a few more days of IV fluids.
He'll be free to move around then and can even go to his cousin's house for a free meal.
"Okay, then don't bring it. You don't need to supplement too much for now."
If the patient does transfer to another hospital, she won't need to come to the hospital every day.
It's not worth it to just deliver meals.
She said goodbye to Ye Qingbai, "Then I'll be going now."
Bai Zhi took her lunchbox and boarded the shuttle bus home.
She didn't take the matter of the patient at the hospital to heart.
If she needs treatment, she will.
If the family has better medical options, she fully respects their decision.
She also believed that in such a vast world, it was impossible for her to be the only doctor who knew how to detoxify.
