Chapter 22: I knocked him unconscious.

The Xie couple stayed at the Lu family's house for dinner, so Zhang Ma prepared a few extra dishes.

Old Master Xie was very hospitable to Bai Zhi and invited her to stay at his home, but Bai Zhi politely declined.

Old Xie sighed helplessly, "This kid is just as stubborn as the old squad leader."

Old Lu was quite satisfied with this.

However, the thought of Bai Zhi moving away gave him a headache.

The problem is that his son hasn't come home yet. He's called the military base several times, and they all say that Lu Ye is on a mission and hasn't returned.

As a former soldier, Mr. Lu knew the weight of military orders and understood that in the hearts of soldiers, protecting their country was more important than personal feelings.

But everyone has selfish desires.

As a grandfather, he hoped his grandson could come back and meet Bai Zhi as soon as possible, and ideally they would hit it off immediately and get their marriage certificate right away.

As for feelings, people naturally develop feelings for each other after living under the same roof for a long time.

He's getting old, and his personal doctor has said his health isn't looking too good.

His biggest wish now is to see his grandchildren get married and start their own families.

Lu Shan was even harder to win over than Lu Ye, so he didn't make things difficult for her.

Even after dinner, Lu Zheng'an and his family still hadn't returned, which made Old Xie quite unhappy.

They became even more convinced that Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun simply disliked Bai Zhi and were deliberately avoiding her.

No wonder the child wanted to move away.

Old Xie's face darkened; he planned to have a serious talk with his niece later.

If they really don't like this future daughter-in-law, then the Xie family won't be polite.

This child is not only beautiful and charming, but also has a calm personality and independent thinking, which they like very much.

After dinner, Bai Zhi returned to her room, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what she looked at the clock.

She was very worried about Lu Ye's situation.

Military hospital.

Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun were also staring anxiously at their watches. "Director Zhou, has your consultation ended? What's the treatment plan?"

"Mr. Lu, please don't worry. The test results won't be available until tomorrow, and we don't dare to take any risks by using medication haphazardly right now."

"So what? You just stand by and watch my son suffer?"

"Company Commander Lu's condition is quite stable now, and his surgical wound is healing well when we changed the dressing today."

"His condition is stable because Bai Zhi's acupuncture controlled it." Lu Zheng'an's eyes were bloodshot from anxiety and lack of sleep, making him look particularly frightening. "The acupuncture will only last for another hour, and you're still arguing here. You quacks, you fake experts!"

"Dad, don't get agitated. Director Zhou is an expert our hospital specially invited for consultation."

"Bullshit expert!" As soon as Lu Shan spoke, Lu Zheng'an angrily turned his anger towards her.

"And you, you personally participated in your brother's surgery. You've been watching over him these past few days. Don't you know his condition? And you're still siding with them? I've figured it out now. You Western doctors just look down on traditional Chinese medicine. You're even more afraid that Bai Zhi, a barefoot doctor, can overcome a medical problem that you so-called experts can't solve. If word gets out, you'll lose face."

Lu Zheng'an roared, "Is Lu Ye's life less important than your pride?"

"I want to see the leaders of the military hospital. I am requesting, on behalf of Lu Ye's father, that he be treated with traditional Chinese medicine."

Director Zhou disagreed with Lu Zheng'an's suggestion, saying, "Mr. Lu, please don't act impulsively. What if something goes wrong..."

Lu Zheng'an interrupted him sharply, "I'm his father, I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

The two sides were locked in a fierce standoff when Dr. Li suddenly rushed into the office, "Director Zhou, Dr. Lu, Company Commander Lu's condition is not good."

Upon hearing Dr. Li's words, everyone in the office changed their expressions.

He rushed to the ward.

On the hospital bed, Lu Ye's forehead was covered in sweat, his handsome face was pale, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

However, his body was trembling uncontrollably due to the cold.

His eyes became empty and bloodthirsty, as if the demon within him was about to burst out of its cage and devour people.

Lu Zheng'an ran to the bedside, grabbed his trembling hand, and asked, "Xiao Ye, how are you feeling?"

Lu Ye's breathing quickened, his voice hoarse, and he struggled to speak, "Dad, where's Xiaobai? Acupuncture..."

Before Lu Ye could finish speaking, Director Zhou rushed forward anxiously, a stethoscope still around his neck. "Company Commander Lu, please let us examine you first."

Director Zhou had never personally witnessed Lu Ye's actual attack before. He needed to clearly observe Lu Ye's specific symptoms, as well as changes in his heart rate, blood pressure, and other data during the attack, before he could provide targeted treatment.

Just as Director Zhou rushed over, before his hand even touched Lu Ye, he heard him roar, "Get out!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

"Xiaobai..." His breathing became increasingly erratic, his chest heaving, his eyes bloodshot, and with the last shred of reason, he cried out for his lifeline.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dr. Li rushed forward and grabbed Lu Ye, afraid that he would break free and rush out like last time.

His wounds hadn't fully healed, and when the drug took effect, he was disoriented. If he rushed out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing this, everyone panicked and pleaded, "Director Zhou, Mr. Lu, please get Dr. Bai Zhi to come and perform acupuncture. If this continues, Company Commander Lu will be in danger."

Lu Zheng'an immediately made a decision: "I'll go pick them up."

As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw that familiar tall and thin figure talking to two comrades who were on guard at the entrance of the building.

Lu Shan had instructed that if Bai Zhiruo came alone, she should not be allowed to come in again.

Therefore, she was stopped when she reached the entrance of the building.

She's been standing here for ten minutes.

Looking at Bai Zhi, who had appeared so timely, Lu Zheng'an felt as if she were bathed in golden light.

He shouted, "Let her in quickly, she's my daughter-in-law."

The sentry let her through, and Bai Zhi walked in.

“Xiao Zhi…” Lu Zheng’an rushed forward anxiously, intending to tell her about Lu Ye’s situation.

Bai Zhi completely ignored him.

With a stern face and carrying a cloth bag, she walked briskly past him with a straight posture, as if she hadn't even seen Lu Zheng'an.

Lu Zheng'an was taken aback by her powerful aura.

Bai Zhi ignored him, so he followed her without saying a word.

When Bai Zhi arrived at the ward door, just like last time, the situation was extremely chaotic. The ward was still packed with people. Dr. Li and Dr. Yang were trying their best to control Lu Ye, who had already lost control, while Director Zhou was examining him.

At this point, what's the point of checking anything?

Besides, Director Zhou isn't a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. What can he possibly diagnose using just observation, listening, questioning, and palpation?

The electrocardiogram and blood pressure are definitely not normal right now.

What does that prove?

The test results they sent haven't come back yet, so they're completely helpless.

"Excuse me, everyone, please make way." As soon as Bai Zhiqing's clear voice came out, Dr. Li felt as if he had seen a savior and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Bai Zhi stepped forward, her tone serious, "Director Zhou, could you please move aside?"

Director Zhou showed no intention of moving aside and continued to examine Lu Ye's pupils.

Dr. Li was almost at her limit. "Director Zhou, let Dr. Bai Zhi give Company Commander Lu acupuncture, otherwise we simply can't control him."

"Xiao Li, stop fooling around. Hold him down and wait for me to finish my examination. I'll calm him down first."

As soon as Director Zhou finished speaking, Lu Ye, who was being held down by Dr. Yang and Dr. Li, suddenly used tremendous strength to break free and stand up, raising his arm and forcefully sweeping away all the instruments on the bedside table.

The blood pressure monitor flew out and hit Director Zhou in the face.

Unsurprisingly, Director Zhou's face was injured.

When the authoritative Director Zhou was injured, the two doctors following behind him and Lu Shan were all frightened.

"Director Zhou, are you alright?"

Lu Zheng'an ordered, "Xiao Mei, take Director Zhou to rest and have Bai Zhi perform acupuncture."

Director Zhou was injured, the equipment was smashed, and the ward was in chaos.

Lu Ye was like an enraged lion, completely losing his mind. Dr. Li and Dr. Yang were about to lose control, while Xie Yun cried beside him, trying to restrain her son but powerless to do so.

Lu Zheng'an was so regretful that he slapped himself repeatedly.

If Bai Zhi had come earlier and applied for a new treatment plan with the hospital leadership sooner, my son wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

"Company Commander Lu, hang in there a little longer, I'll give you acupuncture right away."

When Lu Ye heard Bai Zhi's voice, his scarlet eyes paused for a moment as he looked at her.

Bai Zhi met his eyes, her expression sincere and concerned, her gentle tone soothing him, "I know you're feeling terrible, just hang in there, you'll be alright soon."

Lu Ye only paused for two seconds before the effects of the drug completely overwhelmed his thinking, and he quickly resumed his madness.

And then they began to harm Dr. Li.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly took out a silver needle and, while Dr. Li and the others were holding him down, she inserted it directly into the back of his neck.

As the needle was inserted, Lu Ye's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto Dr. Li.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun asked urgently, "Bai Zhi, what's wrong with Lu Ye?"

Bai Zhi: "I knocked him unconscious with a stab."
