Chapter 278 The Divine Doctor Displays His Power
The corridor of the military hospital was filled with a chaotic cacophony of footsteps.
Bai Shu followed Meng Wan inside, where the corridor was lined with people.
Military doctors, nurses, and several senior experts in white coats were all crammed together at the door of a ward.
The entrance was cordoned off with police tape, and two guards stood watch with guns at the ready.
Meng Wan held Bai Shu's hand, her palms were sweaty.
"Get out of the way."
Meng Wan's voice was cold.
The people crowded at the door turned around, saw her, and made way for her.
Bai Shu followed her to the door.
The guards saluted and set up the cordon.
The door opened.
The ward was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
Bai Shu saw Lu Jingyan lying in the hospital bed.
His face was ashen, his lips were purple, and his chest was rising and falling very slowly.
The instruments by the bed were beeping, and the curves on the screen were fluctuating.
Bai Shu walked to the bedside and reached out to touch his forehead.
It's cold.
She turned to look at Meng Wan.
"Mom, call them all out."
Meng Wan paused for a moment, then nodded.
She turned and walked to the door, saying to the people outside, "Get out. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
The senior experts looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of the elderly men, wearing glasses, spoke up: "Madam Lu, this...this is not in accordance with regulations. The patient's condition is critical, and we need to monitor him closely—"
"I said, get out."
Meng Wan interrupted him, her voice devoid of any warmth.
The old man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the people next to him.
A group of people left the ward.
The door closed.
Only Bai Shu and Meng Wan remained in the ward.
Bai Zhu took off her coat and rolled up her sleeves.
She untied the black cloth bag from her waist and opened it.
Inside, there was a row of gold needles neatly arranged, their bodies gleaming with a cold, eerie light.
Meng Wan stood aside, watching her actions.
Bai Zhu took out four glass bottles and placed them on the bedside table.
The bottle contained a dark green liquid with a medicinal smell.
She unscrewed one of the bottles and poured a little into her palm.
The liquid is viscous and has a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Bai Zhu pried open Lu Jingyan's mouth and slowly poured the liquid in.
Lu Jingyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed.
Bai Shu stared at his face, counting the time.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Thirty seconds.
Lu Jingyan's lip color did not change.
Bai Zhu frowned.
She poured in a little more liquid and fed it to him.
This time, Lu Jingyan's Adam's apple moved even more noticeably.
Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
She picked up a gold needle and twirled it between her fingertips.
Meng Wan looked at her and said, "Bai Shu, you..."
"Mom, help me hold his shoulders down."
Bai Shu interrupted her, her voice flat.
Meng Wan nodded, walked to the bedside, and placed her hands on Lu Jingyan's shoulders.
Bai Zhu held the gold needle and aimed it at the acupoint in the center of Lu Jingyan's chest.
She took a deep breath as the needle tip touched her skin.
The internal energy of the Taiyi Xuanjing within his body began to circulate.
The internal energy was very weak, only a trace.
But that's enough.
Bai Zhu flicked her wrist, and the golden needle pierced through.
The needle penetrates the skin, leaving only half an inch protruding.
Lu Jingyan's body twitched.
Meng Wan was startled and tightened her grip.
"Don't let go."
Bai Zhu said.
She picked up a second needle and inserted it into another acupoint on Lu Jingyan's chest.
The third one.
The fourth one.
With each needle inserted, a layer of sweat appeared on Bai Zhu's forehead.
The internal energy flowed along the needle, gradually entering Lu Jingyan's body.
The needle started to get hot.
Bai Zhu gritted her teeth and kept working.
The fifth one.
The sixth one.
The seventh one.
Lu Jingyan's expression began to change.
His originally ashen face gradually regained some color.
Her lips also changed from purple to dark red.
Meng Wan stared at his face, her eyes reddening.
Atractylodes macrocephala didn't stop.
The eighth one.
The ninth one.
All nine needles have been inserted.
Bai Shu withdrew his hand and took a step back.
She leaned against the edge of the bed, panting heavily.
It felt like a stone was pressing on my chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Meng Wan quickly helped her up.
"Bai Zhu, are you alright?"
Bai Zhu waved his hand.
"fine."
She looked up at Lu Jingyan on the bed.
Lu Jingyan's chest heaved steadily, and his breathing became easier.
The curve on the instrument screen by the bed began to rise.
The ticking sound became rhythmic.
Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked to the bedside table and unscrewed another bottle.
This time, she poured the liquid onto a handkerchief and gently wiped Lu Jingyan's forehead and neck.
As the liquid seeped into his skin, Lu Jingyan's complexion improved somewhat.
After wiping with Bai Zhu, I threw the handkerchief into the trash can.
She turned to look at Meng Wan.
"Mom, he's alright now."
As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black before Bai Shu's eyes.
Her body went limp and she fell backward.
Meng Wan cried out in surprise and rushed over to support her.
"Atractylodes macrocephala! Atractylodes macrocephala!"
Bai Zhu kept her eyes closed and did not react.
Meng Wan held her and shouted towards the door, "Someone come quick! Someone come quick!"
The door was pushed open.
Several military doctors rushed in.
Seeing Bai Shu collapse in Meng Wan's arms, and then seeing Lu Jingyan on the bed, they were completely stunned.
One of the military doctors snapped out of his daze and rushed to the bedside to check the medical equipment.
The data on the screen is all within the normal range.
He then checked Lu Jingyan's pulse.
The pulse is steady and strong.
The military doctor stared wide-eyed and turned to look at Meng Wan.
"Madam Lu, what... what's going on?"
Meng Wan ignored him and carried Bai Shu outside.
"Prepare the wards, immediately!"
...
Outside the ward, the corridor was crowded with people.
Lu Zhenguo stood in the middle of the crowd, his face ashen.
He stared at the door of the ward, motionless.
The door suddenly opened.
Meng Wan carried Bai Shu out.
Lu Zhenguo rushed forward.
"Wanwan, what happened?"
Meng Wan shook her head.
"Don't ask questions yet, prepare a ward for Bai Zhu."
Lu Zhenguo glanced at Bai Shu's pale face and nodded.
"Xiao Li, arrange it right away."
A guard behind him responded and ran off.
Meng Wan carried Bai Shu and followed the guards.
Lu Zhenguo stood still, looking back at the ward.
Several military doctors were still standing inside, all looking shocked.
Lu Zhenguo went inside.
"How about it?"
The elderly expert, wearing glasses, walked up to him, his voice trembling.
"Commander Lu, Brigade Commander Lu... his vital signs have all returned to normal."
Lu Zhenguo was stunned.
"What did you say?"
The old expert pointed to the instruments beside the bed.
"Look, your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are all normal."
Lu Zhenguo walked to the bedside and looked at the data on the screen.
The data is indeed all within the normal range.
He looked at Lu Jingyan's face again.
Her complexion was rosy, and her breathing was steady.
Lu Zhenguo clenched his fist.
"This...how is this possible?"
The old expert shook his head.
"I don't know either. It was already like this when we came in."
He paused, then asked, "Commander Lu, who exactly is that Comrade Bai?"
Lu Zhenguo did not answer.
He stared at Lu Jingyan on the bed, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, he turned and walked out.
As he reached the door, he turned back and glanced at the old expert.
"What happened today must not be told to anyone."
The old expert nodded.
"clear."
Lu Zhenguo walked out of the ward.
In the corridor, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
He strode forward and walked to the door of another ward.
The door was open.
Meng Wan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Bai Shu's hand.
Bai Zhu lay on the bed, her face pale, her eyes closed.
Lu Zhenguo went in and stood at the foot of the bed.
"Wanwan, how is she?"
Meng Wan shook her head.
"The doctor said it was due to physical exhaustion, and that I would be fine after a few days of rest."
Lu Zhenguo nodded.
He stared at Bai Shu's face for a long time without saying a word.
Meng Wan looked up at him.
"Old Lu, Bai Shu saved Jingyan."
Lu Zhenguo nodded.
"I know."
Meng Wan added, "She is not an ordinary person."
Lu Zhenguo remained silent for a few seconds.
"I know."
He turned and walked out.
As he reached the door, he turned back and glanced at Meng Wan.
"Take good care of her."
Meng Wan nodded.
Lu Zhenguo walked out of the ward.
In the corridor, Gao Jianjun was leaning against the wall smoking.
Upon seeing Lu Zhenguo emerge, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Commander Lu."
Lu Zhenguo walked up to him.
"How is the boss?"
Gao Jianjun asked.
Lu Zhenguo patted him on the shoulder.
"It's alright now."
Gao Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
Lu Zhenguo looked at him.
"Go and make arrangements to strengthen security at the hospital. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach this floor."
Gao Jianjun nodded.
"clear."
Lu Zhenguo turned and walked towards the stairwell.
He took a few steps and then stopped.
"Also, call the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and ask them to send people over to assist with security."
Gao Jianjun was stunned for a moment.
"Commander Lu, is this...is this necessary?"
Lu Zhenguo turned around and looked at him.
"have."
He paused, then said, "Bai Shu saved Jing Yan, so she's one of us now."
Gao Jianjun nodded.
"clear."
Lu Zhenguo walked down the stairs.
Gao Jianjun was the only one left in the corridor.
He took out his cigarette case and lit another cigarette.
Amidst the swirling smoke, he stared at the door to the hospital room.
A smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Sister-in-law, you're really something!
