Bai Lu spoke in a bad tone, which made Lu An Ning feel unhappy.
Originally, her mother had no obligation to help her. She only made the trip herself for the sake of herself and Jing Yuan.
She looked up at her watch. It was three minutes past nine.
"If you don't want to wait, you can find someone else."
Tang Jingyuan had something to do in the morning, so Gu Yu went to pick him up in person. Now, only Lu Anning was waiting here.
She couldn't stand Bai Lu's noisy look, and when Tang Jingyuan was not around, she returned to that expression again, not looking like she was begging for help at all.
Lu Anning glanced at Bai Lu and calmly sat aside drinking tea.
Bai Yue shouted hoarsely, "Bai Lu! We need help from someone, so we need to be polite. He's a famous professor, so even if he's a little late for some reason, it's understandable."
Lu Anning paused while drinking tea, raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Yue. He sat there motionless, but he was quite patient.
Bai Lu lost her temper for a moment and could only pace back and forth in the office. Lu An Ning lowered his eyes and pretended not to see anything.
She knew her mother was always punctual, never late by a minute, not even a second. But today she was late, especially when Gu Yu was picking someone up. That only meant her mother did it on purpose.
She is venting her anger!
Don't do anything to them openly, and don't let them get what they want easily.
If you want her to show up in person, there will always be a price to pay.
They waited for nearly an hour before Gu Yu appeared with An Li.
"Having a traffic accident during Kyoto's morning rush hour is a disaster."
This simple sentence made Bai Lu's words of accusation die in her throat. Gu Yu had a smile on his face and looked friendly, so no one dared to say anything.
"No rush. Safety first!"
In front of others, Lu Anning still respectfully addressed An Li as "Professor". Everyone nodded slightly, understanding each other tacitly.
"Thank you for your hard work today!"
An Li waved her hand, her expression indifferent: "It was you and Jing Yuan who spoke up, otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to make this trip. You know how busy my base is."
As she spoke, her gaze shifted slightly and landed on the person in the wheelchair. With just one glance, the smile in An Li's eyes disappeared.
"Are you the one who needs to see a doctor?"
Bai Lu was a little dissatisfied and muttered softly, "Isn't this obvious? He's sitting in a wheelchair. If he's not here to see a doctor, then he's here for tea!"
An Li's expression suddenly changed, and he glared at Bai Lu. The chilling look frightened Bai Lu so much that she shrank her neck.
"What were you mumbling about?"
It sounded like a question, but it carried a strong sense of oppression.
Bai Lu was obviously scared, and she stammered and shook her head: "No...nothing."
Bai Yue was busy trying to smooth things over: "This is my sister. She's young and impatient. If there's anything inconsiderate about her, I'll apologize to Professor An on her behalf."
An Li snorted coldly: "I wouldn't be angry with a yellow-haired girl. But you..."
An Li stared at Bai Yue's eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself. For a moment, even Lu An Ning became nervous.
She glanced at Gu Yu, who understood and immediately closed the office door. Seeing this, Lu An Ning moved the chair behind her and asked her to sit down. Next to her was the tea she had just poured for her mother.
"Take off your mask and let me see."
Bai Yue froze. "Professor, my main problem is my legs."
"I've read your medical records. You just need to do what I say. Observe, listen, ask, and palpate. That's my rule. If you don't want to, you can leave."
"I was just afraid of scaring you! My face has been ruined for a long time."
As he spoke, he took off his mask, revealing his hideous scars in front of everyone. Bai Yue's whole body was stiff and motionless.
An Li carefully examined the wound on his face, then asked him to open his mouth and speak, as if to confirm something. Then, she focused on his hands clad in black leather gloves.
"hand!"
This time, Bai Yue did not hesitate and took off his gloves quickly and neatly.
Only then did Lu Anning see clearly that his hands were also covered with scars. The little finger and ring finger of his left hand were gone. A pink-black scar curved from the base of the middle finger to the edge of the wrist. At first glance, it looked like a fat earthworm.
Lu Anning was shocked and tried hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart.
An Li felt Bai Yue's pulse and started chatting with him, asking about his basic situation and the conditions he usually encountered.
According to him, most of these injuries were sustained during that mission. At that time, his identity was discovered and he was subjected to inhuman torture.
He spoke briefly and to the point, but Lu Anning still felt the hardships of the time from those simple words.
No wonder Tang Jingyuan had such deep feelings when he came back that night.
"You are weak, have frequent dreams, and your liver qi is deficient. You need to take good care of yourself. You can't overwork yourself, and you must not have any random thoughts."
It wasn't until she started examining the legs that An Li pulled out a needle bag. When she opened it in front of everyone, Bai Lu screamed in shock at the various needles on display.
"What are you going to do?"
An Li was holding a ten-centimeter silver needle in one hand. After disinfecting it, she was about to inject Bai Yue when Bai Lu interrupted her. She frowned unhappily.
Bai Lu stood in front of Bai Yue and said, "I asked you to treat my brother's leg, but you didn't say anything, didn't prescribe any medicine, and just gave him acupuncture. You did it on purpose! Did you treat my brother seriously?"
The three looked at Bai Lu as if she were an idiot. Lu An Ning scolded her, "Bai Lu, if you don't understand, get out of the way and don't waste the professor's time."
"Even if you're a professor, you can't just give me an acupuncture injection. So, you write me a letter of guarantee, guaranteeing that my brother will get better after the injection. Otherwise, I won't let you do whatever you want."
An Li was obviously displeased and squinted at Bai Lu: "Are you questioning me?"
