It must be said that Cheng Zhen's skills are truly remarkable.
Although it is slightly lacking in skill compared to Chef Wang of the state-run restaurant in Sanhe County, it is already an excellent dish.
Thinking of Chef Wang, Su Ruyi paused for a moment while chewing.
Why would Chef Wang seek help from Secretary Zhang to bail himself out?
When exactly did I save his life?
Why do I have absolutely no recollection of this?
Moreover, why would a chef like him be able to get the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission to come to his aid?
Seeing Su Ruyi suddenly freeze, with a trembling piece of fish belly still on her chopsticks, Cheng Zhen was shocked: "Dr. Su, you...you've got a fish bone stuck in your throat?"
Su Qiushi also became nervous: "Ruyi, quickly eat some vegetables to help swallow it down!"
Li Wang immediately ladled out a bowl of soup: "Have some water to soothe your nerves!"
Chief Cheng also stood up nervously.
Su Ruyi came to her senses and was too embarrassed to say that she didn't have a fishbone stuck in her throat, so she took the soup and drank it, pretending to feel the location of the fishbone. Then she smiled and said, "It seems... it went down!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Qiushi cautioned, "Ruyi, eat slowly. Getting a fish bone stuck in your throat is no joke!"
Su Ruyi nodded, her thoughts already interrupted, and she began to focus on the fish belly meat in her bowl.
After a hearty meal, Chief Cheng smiled and said, "Dr. Su, if you trust this old man, just do as I say and stay at that hot spring sanatorium for a few days. I guarantee I'll teach those people who bullied you a lesson they won't forget!"
Su Ruyi nodded and said, "Yes, I will follow your arrangements."
She naturally understood that hiding was the best option at this time.
Cheng Weiguo told her to hide away and even chose a sanatorium, showing his dedication to getting revenge for her.
Hiding means waiting.
Once all the uproar and commotion has subsided, the dust will settle.
“However,” she glanced at Su Qiushi and Li Wang, “my grandfather and my friend…”
"Let's go together! I've made all the arrangements!" Chief Cheng said with a smile. "I'll invite a few good friends to a sanatorium; I still have that much face to draw on!"
Su Ruyi looked at Su Qiushi and Li Wang, and both of them nodded at her.
Li Wang not only nodded, but also showed a big smile.
The place that Grandpa Cheng arranged for recuperation was called "Fangchi Hot Spring Sanatorium," which is one of the famous hot springs in Heilongjiang Province.
It's a very high-standard facility, specifically for cadres of a certain rank or above to recuperate.
Li Wang himself had visited the place once when he was a child, with one of his uncles, and everything there amazed him.
Chief Cheng was overjoyed to see that no one had any objections: "Dr. Su, just one thing—don't treat anyone once we get there!"
"Concealing your identity, is that right?" Su Ruyi understood.
"You're a really smart kid!" Chief Cheng clapped his hands and laughed. "You've completely outshone my blockhead!"
Cheng Zhen wasn't angry. He chuckled and said, "How can I compare to that little miracle doctor? I'm just a cook!"
Seeing his humility, Su Ruyi and the other two praised the dinner again.
The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests.
After dinner, Su Ruyi mentioned Shen Guoliang to Chief Cheng: "General Shen was taken away by a man named Han Weiguo. That man said his ex-wife has been confirmed to be an enemy agent from the island nation."
Chief Cheng nodded and said:
I know about this.
As for my opinion—the innocent will clear themselves.
Shen Guoliang will be fine!
Besides, that guy is smart; he won't let anyone find fault with him so easily.
Most importantly—Zhang Xiaozhen's family is not to be underestimated either.
There's more to the story than meets the eye after Zhang Xiaozhen was forced to confess under torture!
Let's just wait and see!
What he didn't say was that Shen Guoliang was brought down by Lan Jun's lawsuit.
This Lan Jun...
After being released from the confinement cell, she heard from somewhere that it was Shen Guoliang who recommended her to Cheng Weiguo, and immediately vented all her anger on Shen Guoliang.
Lan Jun... is getting more and more insane.
If it weren't for her numerous merits, Cheng Weiguo wouldn't want to protect her anymore!
Such a good child, I don't know how he changed!
Seeing that Chief Cheng knew more about this than she did, Su Ruyi felt relieved and continued, "Our captain of the Qingshan Team One was also handcuffed and taken away by Han Weiguo and his men, but he wasn't locked up with us!"
Commander Cheng frowned and said, "Battalion Commander? Why are you arresting him?!"
Cheng Zhen immediately stood up: "I'll go look into this matter."
"He and a guy named Xia Tianxiu were arrested in Ding Honglei's car," Li Wang added.
"Okay." Cheng Zhen nodded and left.
Su Ruyi was finally somewhat relieved.
Ding Youliang was implicated because he stood up for her; she would never abandon someone who was good to her.
Chief Cheng asked seemingly casually, "Dr. Su, you just said that Xia Tianlu swallowed a key disc, does that mean she's doomed?"
Su Ruyi raised an eyebrow.
She could certainly cure this condition, and it was quite simple—she would use her divine sense to control the key disc, bending it into a cylindrical shape, then remove it and restore it to its original state.
But what gives her the right to treat Xia Tianlu?
Or does Cheng Weiguo have other plans?
She thought for a moment: "Western surgical treatments are not very effective. But traditional Chinese medicine can treat it, though it requires some special treatment methods. Chief Cheng, what do you mean?"
Chief Cheng narrowed his eyes: "So, can you also cure Xia Tianyu, who was disfigured?"
Su Ruyi thought for a moment and nodded, "It can be cured, but the method will be quite painful and will take a long time."
Chief Cheng gave her a thumbs-up with satisfaction.
Back when things started to go wrong at Lan Jun's place, he had already spread the news that an old doctor had saved his life. Of course, this news was intended for Ding Honglei and Lian Xun's son, but he never expected it would come in handy for other purposes!
At this moment, the First People's Hospital of Harbin was in complete chaos.
All the experts and directors that could be invited were divided into two factions and arguing fiercely.
One faction, led by the head of surgery, believed that Xia Tianlu needed immediate open-chest surgery to remove the key wheel that was stuck in her chest, but the success rate of the surgery was only 50%.
"In this situation, there is no other solution besides surgery!"
"Open the chest! Open the chest now!"
"Who can guarantee 100% success? Even surgeries can fail!"
"Surgery is the only way! Without surgery, we can only wait to die!"
"Make a decision quickly, every minute is precious!"
"Yes! Every minute of delay will worsen the injury! Don't hesitate any longer!"
...
The other faction, led by the hospital director, firmly believed that Xia Tianlu could not possibly survive the surgery because she had already lost a lot of blood.
Furthermore, the key disc she swallowed was extremely filthy, and she also faced the risk of serious postoperative infection!
