Chapter 558: The Flood Washed Away the Dragon King's Temple

Madam Sun looked at Bai Zhi with eyes full of respect and admiration. "Dr. Bai, we have a full understanding of your achievements in the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine. We also admire your superb medical skills at such a young age. You must have put in a hundred times more effort than the average person."

“Yes, yes, we’ve admired you ever since we heard your name last year. You’re so talented at such a young age. My wife is right, it’s all thanks to your hard work.” Seeing Bai Zhi’s puzzled look, Old Sun explained, “Actually, I spoke with Lu Ye’s grandfather on the phone last year and learned about Lu Ye’s experience, which is very similar to my son’s current situation. Old Lu told me that his granddaughter-in-law is a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine expert. So when I told Director Liu at the hospital today that I wanted to transfer to another hospital, I was actually planning to go to the Nancheng Military Region Hospital to see you for treatment.”

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow after hearing Elder Sun's explanation.

I see.

Old Sun sighed and added, "However, after I got home and talked to Old Lu on the phone, I learned that you had joined the army and were living in the military family compound. My wife immediately realized that the young expert in the hospital today was probably Old Lu's granddaughter-in-law."

When we came to investigate, it was indeed true.

As Old Sun spoke, his tone was filled with relief, and he laughed heartily, "It's truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; we're all family members who don't recognize each other."

"No matter what, finding you means my son is saved."

As he spoke, Old Sun pulled his wife to her feet. The elderly couple looked at Bai Zhi and bowed deeply to her. "Dr. Bai, we entrust our son to you."

"Grandpa Sun, Grandma Sun, please don't be so polite, please sit down." Bai Zhi quickly stood up and helped Grandma Sun to a seat.

She also stated her position: "I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat patients. Of course, I am an external hire of the hospital, and the treatment requires authorization from the hospital leadership and the cooperation of the family. Only by working together can we get the patient out of danger as soon as possible."

Mr. Sun expressed his strong commitment, saying, "We will cooperate fully."

“Yes, we will definitely cooperate. We will do anything as long as my son can be cured.” After saying this, the elderly couple glanced at their husbands and prepared to leave. “We will go to the hospital to meet with Director Liu and explain the situation. My son will not be transferred to another hospital. He can stay here and receive treatment.”

As the two elderly people were about to leave, Bai Zhi glanced at the pile of gift boxes in the corner, her face showing reluctance. "Grandpa Sun, these things are too valuable, this..."

Since she is the one treating Officer Sun, their relationship is now that of doctor and family member.

If they come to pick up so many things and other people in the residential compound see it, and if word gets out, it will have a bad impact.

Since she plans to live here long-term, she must cherish her reputation.

"Dr. Xiaobai, you've misunderstood. We told Lu Ye that we came to see you today as your elders. It's the New Year, how could your grandfather come empty-handed?"

Bai Zhi was speechless after hearing what Old Sun said.

She could only turn to Lu Ye for help.

Lu Ye took her hand and said softly, "Please accept this. It's a token of Grandpa Sun and Grandma Sun's affection."

After Lu Ye spoke, Bai Zhi said nothing more.

The couple helped the two elderly people downstairs.

As Wang Yumei came out of the house, she saw the two distinguished elderly people passing by her door with Lu Ye and his wife.

Watching their retreating figures, Wang Yumei looked on with a puzzled expression.

These two elderly people don't look like ordinary people.

That aura and demeanor were definitely not those of an ordinary person.

Besides, they came in a Jeep with a dedicated driver.

These are all at the rank of commander.

What exactly is their relationship with Bai Zhi?

Is it true, as they said, that they came to visit relatives?

If she is a relative of Lu Ye's family, then why would she specifically inquire about Bai Zhi's name?

Moreover, they were so eager to find out about her back then.

I was terrified of hearing a disappointing answer.

They visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she told them that Bai Zhi lived in the family compound.

Wang Yumei glanced at the figures in the distance toward the gate of the family compound and pursed her lips.

What exactly is the origin of this Angelica dahurica?

Lu Ye and Bai Zhi escorted the person to the jeep outside the family compound.

Madam Sun actually wanted to invite Bai Zhi to go to the hospital with them.

After all, her son was lying there, and she would feel more at ease if Bai Zhi, the expert, went there.

But considering that Bai Zhi had already been to the intensive care unit today, and that Dean Liu had said that they had been watching over Sun Cheng all night and hadn't had much rest, she remembered that Bai Zhi had already been to the intensive care unit today.

The old man was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

"Dr. Bai, you've worked hard last night. Go back and get some rest."

"Okay." The two watched the old man get into the car, and after the car started moving, they turned around and went home.

When they got upstairs, they ran into Wang Yumei, who was still standing there looking around. Bai Zhi was chatting with Lu Ye, but when she saw Wang Yumei listening intently, she immediately stopped talking.

After getting home and closing the door, Bai Zhi quickly found her old mobile phone in the drawer and started charging it.

She sighed, "Grandpa must have tried calling me but couldn't get through."

Such a big thing, her family couldn't possibly not inform her in advance.

After the phone was fully charged, she looked at Lu Ye and asked curiously, "Grandpa Sun must have held a high position before he retired, right?"

“It seems so,” Lu Ye said. “I met him when I was a child, but I heard that he was transferred later, so I rarely heard any news about his family. I almost didn’t recognize him today.”

Bai Zhi rummaged through the pile of things and found that they were all expensive health products, food, and even two sets of skincare products.

The old man really put his heart into it; it was clear he was catering to her age and preferences.

"They're taking so much stuff, is it appropriate for us to accept it?"

Lu Ye looked at the pile of things and shook his head helplessly. "I already refused once outside, but he came to visit us in the name of my grandfather's comrade-in-arms. I couldn't refuse him at all."

He chuckled softly, "It's alright, don't feel guilty."

"Okay, then put it away." As soon as Bai Zhi turned on her cell phone, the phone rang immediately.

She answered the phone and, sure enough, heard Grandpa Lu's anxious voice, "Xiao Zhi, what are you doing? I can't get through to you on the phone. I'm so worried."

Bai Zhi chuckled and explained, "Grandpa, I forgot to charge it; I just turned it on."

"I have something very important to tell you." Old Master Lu didn't say much, his tone was anxious and serious, and he went straight to the point, "I have an old comrade-in-arms whose son is a narcotics officer. He was injured while on a mission and was also exposed to drugs. He is currently in the military hospital near Lu Ye. My old comrade-in-arms wants to find you to treat his son. I gave them your and Lu Ye's addresses. If they come looking for you, don't think they are scammers."

This matter concerns lives and deaths, and Old Master Lu is even more anxious than Old Master Sun and the others. "Also, if they can't find you, you can go to the hospital to look for him. I'll give you the hospital's detailed address now."

"Grandpa, they've already been here."

Bai Zhi continued, "Last night, I was also called by the hospital leaders to treat that patient overnight, and he is now out of danger."
