Chapter 113 Dean: Yet another nepotism case
Yang Yiyi's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at Su Yue's instantly downcast expression and felt a pang in her heart.
"Left again? So quickly?"
She sat down next to Su Yue, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her.
"It's alright, that's how military wives are. Once he returns victorious, you can make up for it by squeezing him dry!"
Su Yue was both amused and exasperated by her unique way of comforting her, and it did indeed ease the sadness of parting in her heart quite a bit.
The two ate breakfast together, and Yang Yiyi volunteered to do the dishes, humming a song as she tried to dispel the chill in the room with her unique liveliness and cheerfulness.
Su Yue felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched her busy figure.
It's so nice to have a best friend like this by my side.
She tidied the table, but her expression gradually became serious.
"Yiyi".
"what?"
Yang Yiyi poked her head out from the kitchen.
Su Yue walked to her side, lowered her voice, and looked serious.
"Before leaving, Gu Beichen told me that his mission this time might involve the leakage of information related to 'Lone Eagle'."
"What?!"
The bowl in Yang Yiyi's hand fell back into the sink with a "clatter," splashing water everywhere.
She didn't even bother to wipe her hands before asking nervously.
"Your dad's case? Any leads?"
Su Yue nodded, her clear black and white eyes flashing with a sharp light.
“Enemy agents have infiltrated the waters near Hainan Island, and the timing is very coincidental. Gu Beichen suspects that this is related to a case from more than 20 years ago.”
The blood-written words in her mother's diary resurfaced in her mind once again.
He did not betray his country! He did not! He is a hero!
A strong premonition told her that this incident was the key to uncovering the truth.
She could no longer wait passively as before.
She needs to take the initiative!
Seeing the fighting spirit burning in Su Yue's eyes, Yang Yiyi also became excited.
"What can we do? We can't just sit here and wait, can we?"
Su Yue shook her head, her gaze falling on her slender, long fingers.
She is a doctor.
A doctor from the 22nd century, possessing top-notch medical skills and spiritual power.
This is her greatest weapon.
"I can't just wait here for news."
Su Yue's voice was calm and clear.
"I want to go somewhere where I can access more information and where I can make a difference."
A thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
Old Master Huo!
Military hospital!
Previously, when Huo Zhengshan was unwell, she took care of him. Huo Zhengshan praised her medical skills highly and even joked that he should give her a position at the military hospital to mentor the young doctors.
She took it as a joke at the time, but now...
The light in Su Yue's eyes grew brighter and sharper!
This might not be a joke.
This is a golden opportunity!
The military region hospital is one of the places with the most concentrated information flow in the entire military region.
Whether it's the origins of the wounded or the health conditions of high-ranking leaders, there may be untold secrets hidden within.
If she could get in there, as a doctor, she could legitimately access a lot of core information, and even deduce clues about the mission from the wounds and condition of the injured!
"Yiyi," Su Yue suddenly grabbed Yang Yiyi's hand, her eyes burning, "I want to go to the military hospital!"
"I want to be a doctor!"
Instead of waiting at home in fear, take the initiative and get closer to him and closer to the truth!
Looking at the flame in her friend's eyes that seemed capable of burning everything, Yang Yiyi was also deeply moved by this power.
She gripped Su Yue's hand tightly and nodded emphatically.
"Go! We must go!"
"Let those who look down on women see that we, the women of the new era, are not just going to stay at home and wait for men; we can fight alongside them!"
"We must build a career! We absolutely must build a career!"
Su Yue smiled as she looked at her spirited best friend.
Yes.
Focus on building a career!
While Gu Beichen charged into battle, she stayed behind, using her own methods to build the most solid position for him and find the truth for her father that was more than twenty years overdue!
A war without gunfire officially began at this moment.
Let's get right to it.
Su Yue has never been one to drag things out.
Having decided to take the initiative, she wouldn't just sit at home and wait.
The next morning, after seeing off the reluctant Yang Yiyi, Su Yue changed into a clean and neat blue work uniform, picked up her prepared medicine box, and headed straight for Huo Zhengshan's residence deep in the military compound.
Her stated purpose was to conduct a routine review for Mr. Huo.
When Old Master Huo saw Su Yue, his face broke into a wide smile, his words a playful scolding, but his eyes were full of joy.
"You silly girl, it's enough that you come in person, but you always bring your precious medicine box, as if you're afraid that my old bones will fall apart one day?"
Su Yue placed the medicine box on the table, smiled upon hearing this, and skillfully took out the stethoscope, gently examining him.
"You're even healthier than a young man; I've come here to share in your good fortune."
As she spoke, she casually asked, "By the way, Mr. Huo, didn't you jokingly say before that you wanted me to get a position at the military hospital? Does that... still count?"
Old Master Huo was enjoying the care and concern of the younger generation when he heard these words. He paused slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his weathered eyes.
He didn't answer immediately, but instead seemed to remember something and chuckled.
"Military hospital? That place hasn't been peaceful lately, there's been a lot of gossip, and you're somewhat involved in those things."
Old Huo leaned back on the sofa and slowly picked up his teacup. "Take that Zhang Sisi for example. She relied on her family connections to refuse to cooperate with the investigation and didn't tell the truth. Now look what's happened. The investigation is complete, and the higher-ups have issued a document that has sent her directly to the Red Star Farm for ideological reform."
He took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and spoke with a hint of disdain.
"Let her go and have a good chat with the pigs, and see how pigs serve the people. I think that would be a greater contribution than her being in the performing arts troupe."
Zhang Sisi?
Su Yue paused for a moment.
Unexpectedly, retribution came so quickly.
Su Yue felt no sympathy whatsoever, and simply said, "That's what she got for it."
These four words, neither too light nor too heavy, exude a chilling aura.
Old Huo looked up at her and saw that she was calm, without gloating or pretending to be a saint. His admiration deepened.
This girl is steady-minded and has a clear sense of right and wrong.
He put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and his expression became serious. "So, what's the sudden urge to go to the hospital? That place is much more tiring than staying at home. Is it... that kid Beichen made you suffer?"
"No." Su Yue shook her head, meeting Old Huo's gaze with clear and firm eyes.
"He went to serve the country, so I can't just stay at home doing nothing."
