Chapter 117: A Hot Potato

Fearing that the Lu family might misunderstand him, Director Chen hurriedly explained, "It's like this, our hospital leaders have recently held several meetings to discuss the drug poisoning in Company Commander Lu's body. As the leaders of the military region hospital, we must face a harsh reality: Company Commander Lu will definitely not be the last victim of hallucinogenic herbs. We must develop an antidote for this new type of hallucinogenic poison as soon as possible."

Director Chen sighed as he finished speaking.

Unfortunately, the research results of the expert team so far have been far from ideal.

Last time, Director Zhou Huai-ren was eager to verify their research results, but they failed even in the mouse experiment.

With that in mind, Director Chen announced the answer that had not yet been finalized at the meeting: "Our hospital has decided to hire Dr. Xiaobai as a consultant to work with our hospital's expert team to tackle the problem of hallucinogenic herbs."

Director Chen looked at Bai Zhi and sincerely invited her, "Dr. Bai, on behalf of the military hospital, I formally invite you to join the medical team."

Bai Zhi was also surprised that the military hospital would make such a decision.

In her past life, she and her grandfather developed an antidote therapy and collaborated with a drug rehabilitation center.

Being hired by a military hospital so quickly in this life is a breakthrough for her.

"Director Chen, I need to discuss this matter with my grandfather before I can give you an answer."

Director Chen had investigated Bai Zhi's background and was naturally familiar with her maternal grandfather.

They also knew that the detoxification therapy of Angelica dahurica was the result of Ye Lao's research.

Director Chen was sincere and earnest. “Okay, if possible, our hospital hopes that Dr. Ye can also participate in the team to overcome medical challenges. This is a matter that benefits patients. I believe that with Dr. Ye’s awareness and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, he will definitely be willing to participate.”

Bai Zhi said politely and formally, "Thank you for your kind words, Director Chen. I will pass on your opinion to my grandfather."

Wang Shufen sat to the side, listening to Bai Zhi's conversation with the leaders of the military hospital, and her gaze unconsciously fell on Bai Zhi.

If she heard correctly, Lu Ye had been poisoned with the most severe hallucinogenic drug on the border, and the military hospital was helpless. It was Bai Zhi who saved him using traditional Chinese medicine.

Now, this high-ranking leader of the military hospital has personally invited Bai Zhi to join the hospital's medical team for research.

Could it be that Bai Zhi, this country girl, really has some skills?

No, they must be heading towards Baizhi's maternal grandfather.

It seems that the medical skills of that legendary old doctor Ye are truly well-deserved.

Is her illness curable?

Lu Hai looked at Bai Zhi with disbelief in his eyes.

He was clearly shocked as well.

Director Chen and several colleagues from the hospital reported Lu Ye's condition to Old Master Lu.

Then, with a serious expression, he said to Lu Zheng'an, "Mr. Lu, now that Chief Lu knows the truth about Company Commander Lu, our opinion is that Company Commander Lu can move out of here now."

They had heard about the last time someone had been loitering and following them around this courtyard.

They must ensure the personal safety of Company Commander Lu.

"Okay, we understand."

Lu Ye called Lao Zhang outside and asked in a low voice, "Lao Zhang, if I move away from here, how can I lure the snake out of its hole?"

Comrade Zhang said, “Company Commander Lu, please go home and rest. We have our own methods. As long as there are any remaining criminals in Nancheng, we will dig three feet into the ground and find them.”

Company Commander Lu patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder, "You've worked hard, be sure to be careful."

After Director Chen and the others left, Old Master Lu slowly looked at Lu Ye. The old man tried his best to control his emotions, but he still couldn't hold back his tears.

"Ono, you've suffered."

Lu Ye smiled casually, "Grandpa, it's nothing serious."

As Old Master Lu listened to his eldest grandson's words, his expression grew even more sorrowful.

With so many toxic drugs injected into his body, and him being used as a live human experiment, how could he possibly be unharmed?

He had watched a documentary that specifically filmed people who had been poisoned by that kind of drug.

I've heard that kind of drug erodes a person's nerves and senses, cloudes their mind, and makes them lose their normal thinking, turning them into a terrifying, enraged beast.

The thought that his eldest grandson had endured such excruciating pain tormented him.

At the same time, I am even more grateful to Angelica dahurica.

Everything is predestined.

She was destined to be Lu Ye's benefactor.

"Let's go home."

Lu Ye's colleagues drove them home.

Lu Hai drove his Santana, with Wang Shufen, Xie Yun, and Lu Shan in the car.

"Auntie, my future sister-in-law's medical skills are truly amazing." Lu Hai glanced at his mother and tentatively asked, "Then my future cousin-in-law should be able to cure my mother's illness, right?"

Upon hearing her son's words, Wang Shufen's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Xie Yun.

Xie Yun's expression was cold and her tone indifferent. "Xiao Hai, your mother has never trusted Bai Zhi and doesn't like her. I think you should have your father take her to the Kyoto Hospital for a checkup. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is slow to take effect, and your mother's condition cannot be delayed."

Given Wang Shufen's deep-seated prejudice against Bai Zhi and the unpleasant incident today, Bai Zhi will definitely not accept Wang Shufen as a patient.

As Bai Zhi's future mother-in-law, she was also unwilling to let Bai Zhi take on this hot potato.
