Chapter 549: Emergency Room

Upon hearing Shen Qian's words, Dean Liu nodded in realization, "Yes, yes, Dr. Shen participated in Dr. Xiaobai's research and development team project at the Nancheng Military Region Hospital."

So he said, "Then you can go with Dr. Xiaobai."

Bai Zhi and Shen Qian entered the intensive care unit together to begin monitoring the patient's condition.

Lu Ye first went to Ye Qingbai's ward as arranged by Shen Qian.

Ye Qingbai was half asleep when someone suddenly entered the ward, and he immediately woke up on alert.

He thought it was a nurse making her rounds, but when he noticed the figure sitting down on the patient's chair, he immediately sat up in fright.

He called out warily, "Who?"

"I."

"Oh, brother-in-law!" Ye Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lu Ye's voice, practically bursting with excitement. "You've had a change of heart and come to keep me company?"

Fortunately, Xiao Liu from their platoon came to keep him company today, but he sent him back home.

It seems that his former boss and brother-in-law still care about him.

Lu Ye didn't deny anything, he simply said, "Go to sleep."

When Ye Qingbai saw him arrive, he became interested and was wide awake. "I'm awake. I slept for most of the day and I'm not sleepy at all."

He sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Lu Ye in the light streaming in from the window, wanting to chat with him.

Lu Ye sat down in the companion chair, his arms behind his head, looking very tired.

But since it was late at night and the lights were off, Ye Qingbai couldn't see his expression clearly in the dim light.

He looked at Lu Ye and asked the question that had been bothering him, "Deputy Battalion Commander, has the regimental headquarters criticized me?"

"What makes you say that?" Lu Ye asked lazily.

"I've let everyone down."

“You’re not exactly dragging us down, but you were definitely careless this time.” Lu Ye sat up, glanced at him, and said in a serious tone, “We have done countless training sessions and drills to ensure that we can be foolproof in real combat and deal with all kinds of emergencies. You made a mistake in the place where you shouldn’t have made a mistake, which just shows that you are not rigorous enough in your usual training.”

He looked at Ye Qingbai and said sternly, "This is a lesson. If that bullet had hit you in the head, you would be dead."

Lu Ye's words made Ye Qingbai lower his head.

Humbly admit your mistakes.

"I know I was wrong, and I will learn from this experience."

Since things had come to this, Lu Ye didn't lecture him much. He simply reminded him subtly, "Remember these lessons in the future. Be serious and careful in your work. Don't always be so careless. Our jobs are like our lives are hanging by a thread. We can't afford to make any mistakes."

"I see."

Lu Ye showed no sign of sleeping and kept looking out the door, not at all like someone who had come to keep him company.

Ye Qingbai wasn't sleepy either. He asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, is something wrong? You didn't come to keep me company just because you had a change of heart, did you?"

Lu Ye's mind was focused on finding a wife. He said to Ye Qingbai, "You go to sleep. I'm going out for a bit."

Ye Qingbai, “???”

Lu Ye left the ward and closed the door.

Ye Qingbai was alone in the hospital room, feeling confused.

He realized that this person wasn't there to provide companionship at all.

But why did he come to the hospital so late at night?

Ye Qingbai was a patient and couldn't go out, so he could only sit on the bed with a belly full of questions and guess wildly.

However, after leaving the ward, Lu Ye didn't know where to find Bai Zhi.

The only thing we can do is ask the doctor on duty where Shen Qian is.

The doctor on duty said that Dr. Shen hadn't returned since going for a consultation.

Lu Ye then went to the consultation room using the address they provided.

However, the office over there was already empty.

After asking around, he finally found out that Bai Zhi had gone to the intensive care unit.

The patients living on that floor all have special circumstances or special identities, and only essential medical staff and unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter.

Lu Ye had no choice but to go downstairs again, but he didn't return to Ye Qingbai's ward. Instead, he waited in the corridor outside.

Just as dawn was breaking, Dean Liu happened to pass by and saw Lu Ye. He was taken aback and asked, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, what are you doing sitting here?"

Lu Ye explained, "I'm waiting for my lover."

Dean Liu glanced upstairs and said, "She's busy. Go to my office and wait for her. I'll call you when she's done."

Lu Ye politely declined his offer, saying, "No need, I'll just wait here. She'll see me as soon as she comes out."

Dean Liu never expected that the seemingly cold and aloof Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was actually a love-struck fool.

He cares so much about his young wife.

"Alright, I'll go up and check on the situation." Dean Liu was eager to check on the patient's condition.

Bai Zhi wasn't a doctor at their hospital, so he had to oversee things personally.

"Okay, Dean Liu, you go ahead with your work."

Dean Liu went up to the floor of the intensive care unit.

Lu Ye sat down at the corner of the stairwell again.

At five o'clock in the morning, Lu Ye, who was dozing off in the corridor, was awakened by the sound of voices.

In a half-asleep state, he keenly heard that familiar voice, and he instinctively opened his eyes and sat up.

Sure enough, Dean Liu and Bai Zhi and her group soon came down from the stairwell while talking to each other.

Bai Zhi suddenly saw Lu Ye looking exhausted and asked, "Brother Ye, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go and rest in my cousin's hospital room?"

Lu Ye smiled at her and explained, "I've rested and just got here."

Dean Liu was about to apologize to Lu Ye, but because of the urgency of the situation, he forgot to tell Bai Zhi that Lu Ye was waiting for her outside.

Of course, at the beginning, we couldn't disturb Bai Zhi, for fear of distracting her.

I forgot about the rest.

Seeing that Lu Ye had actually told a white lie, he respected the young man even more.

His love for Bai Zhi was not superficial, nor was it something he deliberately showed off to gain recognition from outsiders.

It is a deep and sincere love.

"Dr. Bai, thank you for your hard work, thank you so much. On behalf of the hospital and the patients, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to you."

At this moment, Dean Liu felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Bai Zhi.

This comrade was specifically instructed by his superiors to receive the best possible treatment.

The situation was urgent, and it was impossible to transfer the patient to another hospital.

The surgery was successful, but the sudden physical abnormality was something their hospital couldn't handle.

Fortunately, we had Angelica dahurica.

Bai Zhi responded politely, "Dean Liu, there's no need to thank me in such a hurry. That comrade is only out of danger and his condition is temporarily stable. He will still need a long period of treatment later."

“I understand.” Dean Liu sincerely extended an invitation to Bai Zhi. “In the later stages, we may need more guidance from you, Dr. Bai, for our doctors. Our hospital does not currently have any cases of treating this kind of drug toxicity. Dr. Shen Qian is the only one who has studied with your team, but she is relatively lacking in traditional Chinese medicine. When we actually encounter patients, we still dare not let her handle them.”

Bai Zhi understood what Dean Liu meant, and she said, "I will come over the day after tomorrow morning."

Bai Zhi's affirmative answer reassured Dean Liu. "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Then we'll be going now."

Dean Liu sent a car to take them home.
