Chapter 171: More Than Just Chopping Off Hands

Chapter 171: More Than Just Chopping Off Hands

"Uncle, anything is fine." Lu Ye was in a hurry to get back to Derentang, afraid that Bai Zhi would get impatient if he stayed outside for too long.

"Yes, let's just grab something to eat. I haven't gone home yet."

It was midday, and Ye Tiandong didn't arrange any drinks. He ordered a few dishes and a bowl of noodles for each of them.

He said with a smile, "I'll treat you two to drinks another day."

Lu Ye ate his meal with an apologetic expression, "Uncle, it may take some time before I can drink with you after I stop taking the medicine."

"No rush, we have plenty of time in the future."

Ye Tiandong looked at Lu Ye, feeling both heartache and admiration for him.

He also had a general understanding of their work.

To put it bluntly, his life was in grave danger.

From the day they enlist, their lives will be dedicated to the country.

It does not belong to them personally.

His cousin was also one.

Ye Tiandong looked at Ye Qingbai with a face full of satisfaction.

That rebellious and unruly child has grown into a man of steel.

He was envious of the unique spirit and energy that soldiers exuded from them.

Back then, he also dreamed of being a soldier.

Unfortunately...

Ye Tiandong couldn't help but recall the past, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Lu Ye and Ye Qingbai also didn't touch their chopsticks, looking at Ye Tiandong with mixed expressions.

Both of them had their own thoughts on their minds.

Ye Tiandong sensed their gazes, concealed the strange emotion on his face, and greeted them with a smile, "You two, hurry up and eat, why are you both looking at me?"

Ye Qingbai quickly handed chopsticks to Ye Tiandong, saying, "Uncle, you should eat too."

Lu Ye looked at the man eating with his eyes down, wanting to say something, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

All I could do was bury my head in my food.

Ye Qingbai hadn't gone home yet, and Ye Tiandong also had things to do, so they didn't try to keep them after dinner.

The two said goodbye to Ye Tiandong and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Ye politely said goodbye, "Uncle, we won't bother you any longer. Don't you still need to go and pick up Aunt from her parents' home to bring her back?"

Ye Tiandong smiled and said, "I'll pick her up later, let her spend some time with her family."

"Uncle, we're leaving now."

Ye Qingbai got into the driver's seat and started driving.

As soon as Lu Ye got into the car, he suddenly asked, "Is there something you didn't say to your uncle earlier?"

"Huh?" Ye Qingbai looked at Lu Ye with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of admiration.

As expected of his company commander, he noticed that.

Was his behavior that obvious just now?

"Company Commander, you might not believe me if I tell you." Ye Qingbai looked embarrassed and found it difficult to speak.

Lu Ye said calmly, "I can only decide whether to believe you after you've finished speaking."

Ye Qingbai had an instinctive reliance on Lu Ye, the company commander. Whenever he had any questions in the army, he would seek his advice.

So when Lu Ye took the initiative to ask him about his inner confusion, he finally couldn't help but tell him.

“When we came to borrow the car, I was a bit abrupt. Manager Cui said my aunt was eating inside, so I just lifted the curtain and went in. As a result, I saw my aunt’s brother touching my aunt’s stomach.”

"Hmm?" Lu Ye's eyes flickered, but he didn't show it on his face, signaling Ye Qingbai to continue.

“When I went in, they seemed a little embarrassed. My aunt said her brother missed his nephew. But after thinking about it for a moment, I felt something was off. Even if he missed his nephew, he shouldn't have touched his sister's belly in public. Did he consider my uncle's feelings? If this happened to you, wouldn't you have stomped on his hand?”

"It's more than just chopping off your hands."

Lu Ye's fierce expression made Ye Qingbai tremble with fear.

He hurriedly explained, "Company Commander, don't misunderstand. I was just stating the facts and didn't mean anything else."

"So, you really saw that man touch your aunt's stomach?" Lu Ye asked, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if inquiring.

Ye Qingbai spoke with certainty.

"Yes, I saw it. I didn't dare mention it to my uncle just now, because I was afraid he would get angry."

Although he himself is single, as a man, he understands men very well.

They all have a possessive nature.

Lu Yejun's face darkened, and he too fell into deep thought.

It seems we do know something about his girlfriend.

That's why I subtly reminded Ye Tiandong.

They might really need to get involved in such an important matter.

As the two were talking, the jeep had already arrived at the entrance of Derentang.

"My goodness, there are still so many people!" Ye Qingbai exclaimed as he stopped the car and saw the long queue still outside Derentang.

He was like this when he came in the morning, and it's already 2 o'clock.

The line is still so long.

Lu Ye was also surprised that the line was still like this.

He was somewhat annoyed, realizing he should have come back to help sooner.

The two went inside, where Ye Rufeng was examining a patient.

Bai Zhi sat to the side taking notes.

Bai Zhi was quite surprised to see Ye Qingbai return with Lu Ye.

No wonder Lu Ye took so long.

It turned out to be a comrade-in-arms.

After Bai Zhi finished writing a prescription and handed it to Zhou Lin to get the medicine, Lu Ye quickly went over and asked, "Xiao Bai, have you had lunch yet?"

"We've already eaten; we rested for a while after our meal."

"Cousin, we meet again." Ye Qingbai saw Ye Rufeng taking someone's pulse, and he didn't dare to go up and disturb her, so he greeted Bai Zhi first.

"Hello."

Bai Zhi responded with a smile.

They were working at the time and couldn't chat.

"Please go and sit down first, we'll talk later."

"good."

After Ye Rufeng finished seeing one patient, he went on to see another.

Ye Rufeng looked serious and focused, while Bai Zhi also diligently recorded the additional prescription.

The grandfather and grandson worked together seamlessly.

Lu Ye and Ye Qingbai stayed together for almost half an hour without having a chance to greet Ye Rufeng.

The clinic wasn't very big to begin with, and with patients queuing up, it felt very crowded.

While Ye Rufeng was taking the pulse of someone, Bai Zhi walked over to Lu Ye and the others and said...

"Why don't you go home first?"

Judging from the situation, we'll be busy until dark.

Lu Ye's presence here wouldn't be of any help.

"Okay, I'll go buy the groceries first and then come pick you up later."

Lu Ye acted every inch the perfect family man, which made Ye Qingbai's expression quite interesting.

Is this still their ruthless and decisive company commander?

The brothers in the army all thought that their company commander was such a blockhead that all he would ever do in his life was handle a gun. Who would have thought that he had such a gentle side?

Even when he was in the army, his expression was only slightly gentler when facing Dr. Shen, not so fierce.

At that time, everyone thought that the company commander had feelings for Dr. Shen.

Judging from the current situation, how mild is the attitude towards Dr. Shen? Speaking of which, he hasn't told the company commander about Dr. Shen's return to Nancheng yet.
