Chapter 109: Shocking News

His father tried acupuncture and gave him bitter Chinese medicine that was hard to swallow, but his condition worsened and he eventually had to be taken to the hospital for intravenous fluids to bring down his fever.

The doctor said that if I had arrived two hours later, my brain would have been damaged by the fever.

When they were young, they often heard stories of people whose brains were damaged by delayed treatment due to fever, or whose high fevers led to various diseases.

From that time on, he no longer believed in the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.

He was determined to become an excellent Western medicine doctor.

He did it.

He graduated from medical school at the age of 23 and has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years. Now he is a highly respected medical expert.

Until a consultation was held for Lu Ye...

His career began to face challenges.

Originally, they could have delayed, since Lu Ye's condition was serious, and it would have been understandable if there was no treatment plan for the time being.

No one would think it was because their medical skills were inadequate; they would only condemn those inhuman criminals.

Unfortunately, at this time, a young girl named Bai Zhi suddenly appeared.

With just a few silver needles, they solved a medical problem that had baffled their so-called top experts.

The drug poison in Lu Ye's body is real.

However, it took them more than a week to obtain the results using scientific methods.

Bai Zhi, with just two fingers to take his pulse, drew a conclusion and quickly and accurately controlled the poison in Lu Ye's body using a few silver needles.

Although.......

He didn't want to admit it, but he had no choice but to.

She is indeed quite capable.

Traditional Chinese medicine can indeed cure diseases.

His father was just not a very skilled doctor back then.

Later, because he rejected traditional Chinese medicine, he rarely interacted with TCM doctors, so he never had the chance to meet a doctor as miraculous as Bai Zhi.

It's his own narrow-mindedness and limited perspective that's the problem.

At that moment, he came to a conclusion in his heart.

He should be questioning his father's medical skills, not traditional Chinese medicine itself.

Seeing that his eldest son had been sitting down with a serious expression and hadn't said a word, Old Master Zhou rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Director Zhou, why don't you say a few words?"

When his own father called him Director Zhou, Zhou Huai-ren's expression changed unpredictably; he was truly embarrassed.

He frowned. "Dad, can't you give me some face in front of outsiders?"

"Aren't you the director?" Old Master Zhou scoffed. "Don't you always present yourself as an expert?"

Director Zhou Huai-ren, "!!!"

He glanced at Lu Ye and Bai Zhi, cleared his throat, and said awkwardly, "I admit that my thinking and knowledge were indeed somewhat narrow-minded in the past, and I misunderstood traditional Chinese medicine."

"In the future, if our department has the opportunity, we will also organize meetings with traditional Chinese medicine doctors to exchange ideas and discuss with them."

Bai Zhi only responded with a polite smile.

Let's skip the discussions and exchanges.

There is a wall between them.

Zhou Huai-ren's words made the old man even angrier. "Don't pay any attention to him. He just likes to talk in official jargon."

Zhou Huai-ren, "..."

When the food was being served, he made an excuse to go to the restroom and stayed there for a full twenty minutes before returning.

...

Because he knew Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou felt even closer to Bai Zhi, a younger generation.

He especially admired her medical skills.

He found it unbelievable.

For such a young girl to have such expertise in traditional Chinese medicine, she truly is a gifted individual.

He repeatedly urged Bai Zhi to invite Old Master Ye to Nancheng after finding him, or that he should visit his old friend from Bincheng who had shared hardships with him.

Meanwhile, Doctor Zhou kept mentioning his daughter to Bai Zhi.

She said her daughter would be home in a few days and hoped Bai Zhi could get to know her daughter.

Influenced by his father, he was deeply ingrained with the idea that knowledge should be passed down only to sons, and never thought of formally training his daughter to become a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

Because he felt that traditional Chinese medicine had no future.

Seeing such excellent and highly skilled Angelica dahurica now, Dr. Zhou felt as if a new world had been opened for him.

His mind was opened up.

That stupid bird of his can't fly at all.

Instead of struggling and thrashing about, it's better to train the bird's ability to fly.

After all, his "little bird" is positive and eager to flutter.

Although Grandpa Zhou did not agree to train his granddaughter to study medicine with him, his mindset had at least softened a bit.

After dinner, Lu Ye said he wouldn't go home; he wanted to take Bai Zhi back.

I was worried about her safety on the road.

Bai Zhi still feels lingering fear when she thinks about what happened yesterday.

Therefore, she couldn't be happier that Lu Ye would go back with her.

She asked Lu Ye, "Don't you need to go home?"

Lu Ye explained, "It's okay to go back a little later. Grandpa knows I had dinner with you and Dr. Zhou today, so they probably won't wait for me."

"Alright then, in that case, we'll do one more acupuncture session today, and then stop tomorrow."

After the start of autumn, the temperature drops and there is a large temperature difference between day and night. It felt especially chilly today because it rained a bit.

When Lu Ye came out, he was wearing a gray, thin tracksuit. Because of what happened last night, he thought for a moment, then put on a hat and took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket.

After a slight disguise, his demeanor was completely different from usual.

She exudes a sunny, youthful, and energetic vibe.

Bai Zhi was wearing a white dress, and the two of them came out of the pharmacy together. From behind, they looked like two college students.

Bai Zhi walked to the bicycle, unlocked it, and was pushing it when Lu Ye stretched out his long, strong arm. "I'll pedal today, you sit in the back."

"Is that alright?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile, her gaze subtly sweeping over him.

"Give it a try."

Bai Zhi didn't stand on ceremony; who would choose to ride in a car if they could ride in one?

Lu Ye got on the bicycle, and she readily sat on the back seat.

It's rush hour, and the streets are lined with bicycles.

Lu Ye and Bai Zhi, a handsome couple, stood out in the traffic.

It seemed to form a beautiful scenic line.

only……

Unbeknownst to them, a white bicycle was pedaling furiously through the traffic, desperately chasing after them.

Even after watching them enter the courtyard, Bai Zhi looked around furtively and then closed the gate.

...

Military compound.

Wang Tingting rode her bicycle, announced the Lu family's name, and was allowed to pass. She then quickly ran into the Lu family's residence.

"Auntie, this is shocking news!"

Having just woken up from her afternoon nap, Wang Shufen, feeling stiff all over, was listlessly rubbing her knees and sighing.

Seeing her energetic niece, she frowned. "Tingting, instead of going to work, what news have you been asking about again?"

She's currently suffering from an illness and doesn't care about any news; she just wants Lu Shaoan to come back quickly and take her to Kyoto for treatment.

She was really afraid of becoming paralyzed.

Wang Tingting hurriedly said, "Auntie, I saw it on my way home from get off work."

Wang Tingting was panting heavily and drenched in sweat because she was pedaling her bicycle too fast.

"What did you see that made you so excited?" Wang Shufen's curiosity was piqued.

The news that made her niece rush over to deliver the message in such a hurry must be something special.

“Angelica dahurica, I see Angelica dahurica,” Wang Tingting said.

Wang Shufen rolled her eyes. "What's so strange about seeing Bai Zhi? Don't go head-to-head with her. You can't beat her."

"No!" Wang Tingting took a few deep breaths and spoke urgently again, "I saw Bai Zhi riding a man's bicycle into a courtyard and suspiciously closing the gate."
