"Which doctor?" Jin Xingqiu asked, puzzled. "I am this patient's attending physician. Who else could it be?"
Ding Sihou said somewhat awkwardly, "She's a traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Dingjiatun. You can go in after she's finished treating you."
He knew that the doctor had messed up the surgery, but he also knew that the success rate of this type of surgery was not high to begin with.
He still respected Jin Xingqiu very much.
"A traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Dingjiatun?" Jin Xingqiu's eyes suddenly lit up. "My older brother is here? His leg is healed?"
Cheng Zhen looked at Ding Sihou, clearly unaware of the situation.
Ding Sihou realized that the doctor in front of him also had the surname Jin, and must be a relative of Grandpa Jin Dachun.
Grandpa Jin actually has such a young sister?
Does this younger sister still not know that the old man has passed away?
Seeing Ding Sihou's strange expression, Jin Xingqiu asked curiously, "Say something? Is it my elder brother, Jin Dachun, who has arrived?"
Ding Sihou mumbled, "Wait a moment, until the doctor finishes his treatment."
Jin Xingqiu thought for a moment and said, "That's right. My older brother hates it when people make noise while he's getting acupuncture. Let's go and wait over there."
"What kind of bullshit village doctor is this?"
Ding Honglei, who was standing nearby, understood what was happening: the female doctor's older brother was receiving treatment inside.
He had never heard of such a person before leaving Dingjiatun, so he must be an ignorant and incompetent fellow.
He said irritably, "Get out of the way! I'm from the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee Office! That guy inside is a prisoner who escaped halfway through the journey, and we're taking him away now!"
When Ding Honglei and his lackey realized that Ding Youliang and Xia Tianxiu were missing from their car, they were dumbfounded.
Fortunately, after making some inquiries, they learned that Ding Youliang had suddenly developed a back problem and was hospitalized, so they hurriedly came to find him.
This time, Jin Xingqiu was dumbfounded: "My patient just had lumbar spine surgery, and the results weren't ideal. He won't be able to walk for at least six months! How are you going to take him away?"
Ding Honglei sneered: "What? That son of a bitch Ding Youliang, looks like he bribed you? What's your name? Which department are you in?"
"You're from the provincial or municipal government office, right? Even if they wanted to arrest him, his situation perfectly qualifies him for medical parole!"
Jin Xingqiu looked at him with disdain and took a step forward, saying, "Unless you want to kill him, you wouldn't forcibly take away a patient who just had lumbar spine surgery!"
Ding Sihou stepped forward and joined Cheng Zhen in blocking the doorway: "You want to take my dad away? No way! Unless you kill me first!"
Just then, the ward door creaked open by itself.
Ding Youliang stood by the wall at the door, his face long and sullen: "All you ever talk about is death and life, you're never serious!"
Ding Sihou was stunned: "Dad... Dad, is this a final burst of energy before death?"
"I'll show you what happens when you're about to have a final burst of energy!" Ding Youliang was furious with his foolish son and slapped him across the face. "You good-for-nothing! I've been cured by that doctor!"
"No, this is impossible!" Jin Xingqiu stepped forward, her eyes wide with disbelief. "This is simply impossible! Your surgery clearly failed!"
"What's impossible about that?" Ding Honglei sneered from behind the crowd. "So you colluded with this doctor to avoid being taken away? You just had lumbar spine surgery?!"
The lackey scoffed, "Exactly! Are you trying to fool me? You had lumbar surgery, and you think you can walk after half a day???"
"Don't speak yet," Jin Xingqiu said, and then she saw Su Ruyi packing her needle case and walking towards the door.
Ding Honglei and his lackey also saw Su Ruyi and were so shocked that they froze on the spot.
Jin Xingqiu rubbed her eyes and looked again: "You...aren't you my eldest brother's apprentice? My eldest brother isn't here? You...you gave my patient the acupuncture?"
Jin Xingqiu immediately recalled the scene when Jin Dachun brought Su Ruyi to show off.
The elder brother said that this young apprentice cured General Shen Guoliang's poison with the "Seven-Needle Technique"!
Now, she watched helplessly as this young apprentice cured a patient she herself had failed to cure even after four hours of surgery!
A medical miracle!!!
Su Ruyi dared not look Jin Xingqiu in the eye.
She had completely forgotten about her master's seventh sister.
She wasn't told that her master had passed away, nor was she notified of the funeral...
what to do? !
Su Ruyi panicked: "Master Aunt, I..."
Unexpectedly, Jin Xingqiu suddenly grabbed her hand: "No...don't call me that! Are you called Jixiang or Baozhu? Can you...can you take me as your apprentice?! I don't want to learn anything else, I just want to learn that move you just made!"
Su Ruyi froze on the spot: "Huh?"
At this moment, Ding Honglei pushed Jin Xingqiu aside and walked up to Su Ruyi: "What are you doing here?! Who let you go?!"
It seems that Ding Honglei is unaware of what happened in Harbin!
Su Ruyi answered crisply, "It was Chief Han and Director Lian who, after investigating, found me innocent and released me. What, Director Ding, are you going to question the two chiefs?"
She had anticipated all sorts of scenarios on her way here.
However, she thought too highly of Ding Honglei, assuming that he had seen Ding Youliang's back injury flare up and had taken him to the hospital on the way.
Upon inquiring, they learned that he himself had suddenly fallen ill and was admitted to this hospital, which led to Ding Youliang's subsequent collapse.
Now, she finds Ding Honglei extremely displeasing.
Upon hearing her words, Ding Honglei's face darkened as he said, "I'll go make a call to verify. You, keep a close eye on her! And the one inside too!"
The lackey hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Director!"
After saying that, he spread his legs and stood in the middle of the corridor, blocking the way.
Two pairs of eyes fixed directly on Su Ruyi.
Seeing that Ding Honglei had left, Jin Xingqiu stepped forward again: "Dr. Jixiang, I'm serious!"
"Um, her name is Su Ruyi," Cheng Zhen whispered from the side.
Jin Xingqiu slapped her forehead: "That's right! Ruyi! Doctor Su, can I... can I be your apprentice?"
Su Ruyi looked at her for a long time before finally speaking, "Aunt, I'm sorry, my... my master has passed away, I forgot to tell you."
Jin Xingqiu's mouth dropped open, then she shook her head: "You... what did you say?!"
"My master passed away some time ago."
Su Ruyi repeated herself, her eyes already red, "I forgot to tell you, I'm so sorry. So much happened during that time..."
"What...what disease does he have?" Jin Xingqiu felt a chill run down her spine, and her eyes became vacant.
"He...he was...he was murdered."
Ding Sihou answered for Su Ruyi, "The person who killed him has already been arrested and shot."
"No, this is impossible!" Jin Xingqiu cried out in anguish. "Although my elder brother was unreliable, he was always kind to others and never made enemies. How could he have been killed?!"
