Chapter 66: Bai Zhi's Verbal Battle with the Expert

“Director Zhou, of course I have no objection.” Bai Zhi glanced at Lu Ye and said firmly, “I’m just a junior TCM doctor. If Comrade Lu Ye needs my treatment, I will treat him. If he doesn’t need my treatment, I will respect his wishes.”

What a joke! Lu Ye and his family are right here, and Director Zhou is the only one who came to ask for her opinion.

They really know how to pick on the weak.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, Lu Ye's deep voice rang out, "Commander Jiang, thank you for the organization's care and concern. I am now recovering well and do not need to return to the military hospital."

"Company Commander Lu, we still hope that you can continue to receive professional and standardized treatment. This drug was developed by our team members who worked day and night."

Less than a week after Lu Ye was discharged from the hospital, Director Zhou's expert team worked day and night to develop an antidote for the hallucinogenic drugs in Lu Ye's body, not to mention the efficacy of this drug.

At the very least, is the safety of the medication guaranteed?

Bai Zhi looked at Director Zhou and asked, "Director Zhou, has the drug you developed undergone safety and efficacy trials?"

Director Zhou replied, "It has been tested on animals."

"Only tested on animals?" Upon hearing such an irresponsible answer, Bai Zhi's delicate face immediately darkened. She argued with him seriously, "As doctors, we should all understand that before a drug can be used on patients, it needs to undergo a very long period of drug safety testing. The drug you developed in just one week of overtime work, without drug regulatory approval or efficacy testing, is already intended for use on Company Commander Lu. Isn't that far too hasty?"

"Are you trying to use Company Commander Lu as a guinea pig?"

Bai Zhi knew that she was still young and that in the seniority-based medical industry, she should at least show respect to her authoritative colleagues. Therefore, she always restrained her emotions and maintained her politeness.

But upon hearing Director Zhou's words, she could no longer suppress her anger.

Their so-called expert team, a large group of people standing here, bearing the title of experts, yet saying such irresponsible things.

As a doctor, she couldn't tolerate it.

She exuded an aura completely incongruous with her young and frail body. She showed no mercy to Director Zhou and the others, and her voice was clear and powerful: "I understand the pressure you are under, and I know you are eager to make a name for yourselves, but Company Commander Lu is a hero who protects our country. His health cannot be compromised in any way. Please be careful."

Bai Zhi emphasized the last two words, and Lu Zheng'an was also furious. "Bai Zhi is right. My son's life cannot be used as a guinea pig by you."

"Mr. Lu, you've misunderstood..." Director Zhou's face turned pale and then red, and he was losing face as he tried to explain.

Lu Zheng'an didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He looked at Commander Jiang with a firm attitude.

"Commander Jiang, on behalf of Lu Ye's father, I would like to express our opinion. My son is recovering well, and we have decided to continue with traditional Chinese medicine treatment and will not return to the military hospital."

Commander Jiang responded, "That's also what the organization is thinking. Since Comrade Lu Ye's treatment has been effective, we should continue with the previous treatment method and not mess things up."

Commander Jiang and his entourage came after receiving a notification from the military hospital that a new antidote had been developed, and they came to check on Lu Ye's situation as usual.

Of course, the final treatment plan will depend on Lu Ye's physical condition and his own wishes.

Commander Jiang looked at Director Zhou and said, "In that case, let Comrade Lu Ye continue to receive treatment from Dr. Xiao Bai."

Director Zhou could only nod awkwardly.

Commander Jiang, with a stern face, instructed Lu Ye, "You must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination on time. Don't be careless."

Instructor Zhang also earnestly advised, "Yes, Lao Lu, all the comrades in our company are waiting for you to come back soon. You must take good care of yourself."

Lu Ye replied, "Don't worry, he's fine now."

It was already evening, and Commander Jiang and the others told Lu Ye to get some rest before they left.

Lu Zheng'an shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with Regiment Commander Jiang, expressing their gratitude to the military leaders.

Instructor Zhang's gaze fell on Bai Zhi, and he spoke with a smile.

"Oh right, Dr. Bai, I almost forgot, there's something else I need to do."

"Please speak," Bai Zhi said, standing ramrod straight and smiling at Instructor Zhang.

"You've met Ye Qingbai from our company, haven't you?" Instructor Zhang asked with a smile.

"I've met you."

"He asked me to ask you: Have you reunited with your uncle? Are you really his cousin?"

“Yes,” Bai Zhi said firmly. “I have already reunited with my uncle, and my uncle Ye Tiandong returned to Bincheng yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Instructor Zhang laughed heartily, "That's wonderful! Congratulations to Comrade Xiaobai on successfully reuniting with his family."

"Then I'll go back and tell that kid the good news."

Instructor Zhang glanced at Lu Ye, his tone meaningful, "That kid's going to be ecstatic."

Lu Ye naturally understood what Instructor Zhang meant. He coughed lightly, avoiding his gaze, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"Then we'll be going now."

When Commander Jiang and the others left, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun warmly saw them off. Bai Zhi politely escorted them to the door before turning back.

"Are you injured?" Lu Ye noticed the bloodstains on her clothes, and a look of concern crossed his handsome face.

"Huh? No."

Bai Zhi lowered her head and followed Lu Ye's gaze to the hem of her clothes. She explained, "It's blood I accidentally got on my clothes while stitching someone up."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye's deep eyes flickered slightly, seemingly surprised by her answer, "You can sew?"

Bai Zhi humbly replied, "I know a little."

Lu Ye, "..."

Does someone with only a little knowledge dare to start stitching for others?

Is this girl being modest or just incredibly audacious?

"Company Commander Lu, get ready, it's time for treatment." Bai Zhi carried the cloth bag back to her room, intending to change out of her blood-stained clothes first.

........

Outside the courtyard, Lu Zheng'an was still talking with Commander Jiang. Commander Jiang said that Lu Ye had risked his life to infiltrate the drug den and destroyed a criminal operation, making a great contribution. Commander Jiang subtly hinted that Lu Ye might be given a change in position after he recovers.

Hearing such news, as parents, we naturally feel proud.

but.......

More worries.

I'm worried about his safety.

Over there, Lu Shan saw Instructor Zhang standing there, not yet on the bus. She hesitated for a few seconds, but finally mustered up her courage and walked over.

"Instructor Zhang, I'd like to ask you something, if I may be so bold." Lu Shan's usually cool face was now serious as she spoke.

Instructor Zhang spoke gently, smiling, "Dr. Lu, please go ahead."

Lu Shan's fingers trembled involuntarily at her sides. She pursed her lips and asked with difficulty, "I want to ask, is there any news about Gu Jingyi?"

Upon hearing the name Lu Shan mentioned, Instructor Zhang's smile froze slightly.

"Dr. Lu, do you know Battalion Commander Gu?"
