Su Tang carefully placed the cleaned silver needles back into the slightly worn wooden box, making a soft "click" sound.
She then turned around and looked directly at Jiang Yan, her tone still cold and businesslike.
"You're here for treatment, and I'm here to give you acupuncture. You're the patient, and I'm here to treat you. The doctor-patient relationship is aboveboard and perfectly natural."
Jiang Yan felt her cheeks were so hot they could be used to make an egg pancake, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
yes……
The woman herself was completely open and honest, and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. But the man here, flustered and panicked, made it seem like he had something to hide.
"Put your clothes on first." Su Tang pointed to the training uniform in his hand.
"Oh... okay..." Jiang Yan seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly put on her shirt.
Su Tang ignored him and added, "Today's treatment is just the first step, clearing away the surface blockages. Your deep-rooted 'knot' still needs two more acupuncture sessions to be completely released. To cure it, you'll need to continue at the same time tomorrow and the day after."
After Jiang Yan finished dressing, she subconsciously moved her right hand.
That unprecedented sense of ease and power came through me clearly once again.
The index finger that had once trembled uncontrollably like a nightmare was now as steady as a rock, full of power.
This hand is his second life.
Su Tang was the one who gave him a second life.
A surge of overwhelming gratitude welled up within him...
“Comrade Su An.” Jiang Yan’s voice was no longer flustered, but filled with unprecedented solemnity. “Today’s events started because of me. If… if any rumors spread and damage your reputation, I, Jiang Yan, guarantee you with my military rank and my life that I will clear your name…”
Su Tang looked at him and replied calmly, "No need. You should rest well. I'll go back now..." After saying that, she picked up the wooden box containing the silver needles, turned around and left the infirmary, leaving behind only a slender and aloof figure.
...
Meanwhile, at the other end of the corridor leading to the infirmary.
Li Xiaoge ran wildly, her heart pounding in her chest as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
She didn't dare turn around; her mind was a mess, filled with the extremely impactful image from just now.
Jiang Yan, the squad leader, with his bare upper body... the gleaming silver needle in Su An's hand... the strange atmosphere between the two that she couldn't quite explain...
Bai Wei's words, like a demonic chant, played on repeat in her mind.
"Private meeting..."
“Enemy agents…”
She felt like she was going crazy!
She ran, constantly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
On one side, there's Su An, who calmly commanded the exercise and displayed superb marksmanship, saving everyone from becoming a hero.
On the other side, there was Bai Wei's tearful accusation and the "irrefutable evidence" before her.
Whom should we believe?
Reason told her that she should immediately report to Instructor Zhang and tell him everything she had seen!
But... what if?
What if Bai Wei is telling the truth? If Su An really is an enemy agent who infiltrated the enemy ranks, then squad leader Jiang Yan... was he also bewitched by her using some kind of sorcery?
If that's the case, wouldn't reporting it now alert her? Su An is so capable; what if she becomes desperate and does something rash...?
Li Xiaoge became increasingly frightened as she thought about it; her face turned deathly pale, and her hands and feet became ice-cold.
Unbeknownst to her, she had already run back to the door of that gloomy isolation room.
The heavy iron gate stood there silently, like a silent monster.
She looked at the cold keyhole on the door and hesitated.
Should she go in?
Once inside, what should I say to Bai Wei?
Just as she was hesitating, a familiar, concerned voice came from behind her.
"Dr. Li? Why are you running so fast? Why is your face so pale? What happened?"
Li Xiaoge shuddered in fright and turned around abruptly.
It's Chen Xiaocao.
She was carrying a basin of freshly washed clothes, preparing to return to her dormitory, when she saw Li Xiaoge looking distracted and asked her with concern.
