Chapter 68 The Moment of Slapping Faces!!!
The Huo family compound was exceptionally lively today.
The news that Huo Zhengshan was going to take on a disciple had already spread throughout the entire military region hospital, and was even known to everyone in the military region compound.
The courtyard was packed with people who came to witness the ceremony. Among them were the heads of the military hospital, Huo's old friends, and many doctors who considered themselves elites in the medical field. They all wanted to see who this person was that could make the proud Huo make an exception for them.
In the center of the courtyard, the incense table had already been prepared.
Su Yue changed into an elegant white shirt and knee-length skirt, standing quietly beside Huo Zhengshan. Gu Beichen, like a silent guardian, stood half a step behind her, his cold gaze sweeping across the room, silently declaring his dominance.
Just as Huo Ming was about to loudly announce the start of the apprenticeship ceremony, a sharp voice rang out at an inopportune moment.
"Master Huo! Please forgive my boldness, but I'm afraid this apprenticeship ceremony cannot begin yet!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qian Li, the deputy director of internal medicine, push through the crowd and walk out with an "righteous" expression. Behind her were several doctors with equally unfriendly expressions.
Huo Zhengshan frowned.
Qian Li seemed not to see it. She first bowed respectfully to Old Master Huo, then changed the subject and stared straight at Su Yue.
"Old Master Huo, we all respect your medical skills and your character. That's why we can't just stand by and watch you be deceived by a young girl of unknown origin!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
"Who is she? Isn't she Commander Gu's wife? I heard she used to be the daughter of a capitalist in Shanghai. What medical skills does she know?"
"That's right! I heard that she used some low-grade folk remedies to treat Commander Gu. Can she really be Old Master Huo's apprentice? Isn't that a joke!"
Qian Li listened to the surrounding chatter, and her smile deepened.
This is exactly the effect she wanted!
She raised her voice and continued to incite, "Think about it, everyone! What is Elder Huo's status? He is the pillar of our Chinese medical community! When he takes on disciples, he is passing on his mantle and his skills in saving lives! But what about this Comrade Su Yue? So young, and self-taught? Or did she rely on Commander Gu's connections and pull strings?"
"We refuse to accept this! All the doctors in our military region hospital refuse to accept this!"
"Unless she can prove to all of us that she is qualified!"
These words resonated deeply, instantly igniting the jealousy and resentment in the hearts of many doctors present.
Yeah, why should we?
They studied diligently for over a decade, endured countless years of clinical practice, yet still failed to catch Professor Huo's eye. How could a pampered young woman in her early twenties rise to such heights overnight?
Old Master Huo's face darkened, and he was about to lash out when Su Yue gently pressed his hand down.
She stepped forward, meeting Qian Li's provocative gaze. Her face showed no sign of panic; instead, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Dr. Qian, right? How do you want me to prove it?"
Qian Li was taken aback by her composure and then sneered.
"Proof? It's simple! Let's see what they're made of! We doctors don't judge by words, we only by real skills!"
She clapped her hands, and two young doctors immediately helped a patient out.
He was a man in his fifties, with a sallow complexion, extremely thin, and his legs trembled incessantly as he walked. His eyes were unfocused, as if he might collapse at any moment.
Qian Li pointed at the patient and announced proudly, "This is Mr. Wang. For the past six months, he has been losing weight for no apparent reason, feeling weak all over, and his legs are trembling uncontrollably. We've done all the tests our hospital can, and we've even brought in experts from Beijing, but they still can't find the cause. Today, I'm putting this patient here!"
She looked around, her voice filled with malice.
"Comrade Su Yue, don't you claim to have superb medical skills? Then today, in front of Elder Huo and so many of our colleagues, show Master Wang what you're capable of!"
"If you can give us a clear and convincing explanation, we'll all apologize to you! But if you can't... Hmph, then please get out of here right now and don't tarnish the word 'doctor' again!"
This tactic is undeniably vicious.
This is a complete dead end!
Even experts in Beijing are at a loss for how to diagnose such a difficult and complicated disease on the spot? Isn't this just deliberately making her look bad?
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense.
Su Yue calmly walked up to the patient, and everyone's eyes were focused on her, waiting to see how she would make a fool of herself.
However, just as Su Yue's fingers were about to touch the patient's pulse—
"Dong dong qiang! Dong dong qiang!"
Suddenly, a deafening sound of gongs and drums rang out from outside the courtyard!
Immediately afterwards, a military green jeep with the words "Public Security" printed on it made a beautiful drift and came to a smooth stop in front of the Huo family compound!
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a police uniform, wearing two bars and three stars on his shoulders, strode in. Behind him followed several officers in similar uniforms, one of whom held aloft a bright red banner!
The man strode in with an imposing presence, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted in a loud voice:
"Excuse me! Which one of you is the hero who bravely captured the human traffickers, Comrade Su Yue, a man of both wisdom and courage?"
One sentence, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up a thousand waves!
The entire venue was deathly silent.
All eyes immediately shifted from the sickly Master Wang to Su Yue.
Bravely apprehending human traffickers?
hero?
What... what's going on?
Qian Li's smug smile froze instantly, and she was completely dumbfounded.
This scene wasn't in her script!
Amidst hundreds of shocked, confused, and incredulous gazes from the audience, the police leader walked straight up to Su Yue. After seeing her clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which quickly turned into deep admiration.
"You must be Comrade Su Yue? You truly are a woman who is just as capable as any man!"
Without saying a word, he solemnly placed the bright red banner into Su Yue's hands.
"Comrade Su Yue! On behalf of the Provincial Public Security Department, the 37 rescued children, and their families, I would like to express my highest respect and sincerest gratitude to you!"
As he spoke, he handed over a thick brown paper envelope.
"This is a 1,000 yuan bonus awarded to you by the organization! It's to commend you for your courage, composure, and ability to single-handedly assist our train police officers in successfully apprehending the ringleader of a major child trafficking gang operating across several provinces!"
The voice of the public security leader was strong and powerful, and every word clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"Your heroic deeds provided crucial clues for our subsequent arrest operation, allowing us to follow the trail and dismantle the entire criminal network in one fell swoop! Comrade Su Yue, you not only saved one child, but you saved dozens of families! You are a true people's hero!"
