Chapter 619: The Medical Fee Sent by the Sun Family

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi politely declined, "Grandpa Sun, you've brought so many things with you on your two visits, so let's forget about the consultation fee."

Old Sun, however, said with a serious expression, "How can we just let it go? You're a doctor, and you should charge a consultation fee for treating patients. Dean Liu said that the patient should pay your treatment fee separately, not through the hospital's accounts. Otherwise, we would have settled the money with the hospital and let them pay your salary."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "You said it yourself, our two families are old friends, so I won't charge you for the consultation."

"That's absolutely not going to work."

Grandma Sun also said, "We are already very grateful that you saved Sun Cheng's life, how could we not accept your money?"

"Officer Sun was injured in the line of duty. He is just like my husband Lu Ye, a great hero who protects our country. It is my honor to treat him."

She would treat the great hero without charging him.

Bai Zhi's profound understanding of righteousness impressed Old Sun, who exclaimed in admiration, "I knew Old Lu would make the right choice in selecting a granddaughter-in-law for his grandson."

Unlike them, who are blind.

The thought of their son being all alone made the two elders of the Sun family feel sad.

"But even so, you still have to pay the medical fees. It's said that you can avoid disaster by spending money, and the same applies to treating illness. Only when you take the money can Sun Cheng's illness be completely cured. Besides, this money will be reimbursed by his company, so you don't need to feel any pressure. Just take it without worry."

Sun Cheng chimed in, "My father is right. We are extremely grateful that you saved my life. The money is from my workplace, so please take it."

Sun Cheng took out an envelope and placed it on the table.

He explained, "My colleagues at work have inquired with the hospital about your treatment fee, which is five hundred yuan."

Upon hearing that it was reimbursed by her company, Bai Zhi didn't refuse anymore, saying, "Okay, then I'll accept it."

Looking at Sun Cheng, Bai Zhi couldn't help but think of Gu Jingyi again.

Out of personal motives, she felt that asking Sun Cheng about Gu Jingyi might yield some clues, but this involved military secrets, and she shouldn't ask.

Asking won't get you any results.

yes

"Dr. Xiaobai, thank you so much for saving my son. If it weren't for you, we don't know what the consequences would have been."

"Yes, Dr. Bai, you are so young, how can your medical skills be so superb? The big hospitals were helpless, but you solved the problem in just two weeks. My son will be able to get rid of the drug poisoning completely. You not only saved my son's life, but also the lives of my wife and me."

If his son really gets addicted to that stuff and can't quit, his life is ruined.

That's more painful than losing your life.

"Yes, Xiaozhi, did you specialize in tackling this kind of problem before? In just two weeks, Sun Cheng's poison was almost cured. We are truly grateful and admire you."

The Sun family looked at Bai Zhi with admiration and curiosity.

So young, yet possessing unfathomable medical skills.

Her maternal grandfather was probably even more formidable.

Bai Zhi explained, "Grandpa Sun, when I was in Nancheng before, I treated several cases like this. They were all comrades who came from the front lines. Besides Lu Ye, there were also anti-drug police officers from the public security system. It can be considered as accumulated experience."

"Oh, you've treated other narcotics officers too?" Old Sun and Sun Cheng both looked at her in surprise.

"Yes."

Old Sun looked at Bai Zhi with even more affection, "Little Bai, you are truly a savior sent by heaven, saving all those comrades."

Sun Cheng's eyes were also filled with respect.

He asked Bai Zhi,

"By the way, what time does Lu Ye get off work?"

"It's not clear yet."

She couldn't mention Lu Ye's mission to outsiders.

They could only give vague answers.

Old Sun sighed, "The work is all too hard."

"Oh right, I remember Lu Ye has an older sister. When I visited your grandparents many years ago, she was already a middle school student. I heard she had excellent grades. Where does she work now? Where did she marry?"

Old Sun chatted with Bai Zhi.

"Grandpa Sun, you mean my sister-in-law Lu Shan? She's a doctor at the Nancheng Military Region Hospital now."

Bai Zhi added, "She's not married yet."

"Not married yet?" Old Master Sun was quite surprised to hear this. If he remembered correctly, Lu Ye's older sister, Lu Shan, should be 30 years old this year, and she was still not married.

"Yes, she has a boyfriend, but..."

Bai Zhi decided to go all out and looked at Sun Cheng, "Her boyfriend was in the same unit as Lu Ye. He went missing during a mission and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Missing?" Upon hearing this information, Sun Cheng and the others looked at Bai Zhi in surprise.

"Yes, they've gone missing."

Sun Cheng asked, "What's his name?"

"Gu Jingyi".

Upon hearing these three words, Sun Cheng's expression faltered slightly.

Bai Zhi noticed the subtle changes in his facial expression, and she tentatively asked,

"Officer Sun, I don't know if I should ask this as a military wife, but have you ever heard of this name?"

Sun Cheng smiled faintly, "I can't remember for the moment."

"Oh, how could that child suffer so much? Her boyfriend has disappeared, and she's just been waiting like this?" Grandma Sun said with a pained expression.

Bai Zhi replied, "My sister-in-law is a very devoted person. She insists on seeing him alive or dead. She has remained steadfast in this belief to this day."

"That child has really suffered."

Sun Cheng sat there lost in thought, but never spoke.

Old Sun, on the other hand, chatted with Bai Zhi the whole time, trying to find out about her situation.

"By the way, Xiaobai, I ran into Dean Liu yesterday and chatted with him for a bit. He told me that you didn't join their hospital and are going to open a clinic outside?"

Bai Zhi nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Sun, we are making preparations."

"Will your grandfather come to see patients then?" Old Sun's cloudy eyes were full of anticipation.

"right."

“That’s great! When your grandfather comes, you must introduce us to him so we can witness the amazing doctor’s skills.”

"no problem."

After sitting for a while, the Sun family was about to leave. Bai Zhi originally wanted to invite them to stay for dinner, but Sun Cheng said he had to go back to his unit to report on his work.

Before leaving, Old Sun smiled and invited her, "Xiao Bai, when Lu Ye comes back, you can come to his house for a visit."

"Okay, Grandpa Sun."

"Then we'll be going now."

After seeing Sun Cheng's family off, Bai Zhi put all the things they had brought into the cabinet.

They also gave 500 yuan for medical expenses, which they put into their wallets as well.

It was like a godsend; with these five hundred yuan, she had much more money to spare during her preparations to open the pharmacy.

But now that everything is ready, we still can't get in touch with the old man, which is really a headache.

He sat on the sofa in a daze when his cell phone rang. It was Dr. Zhou calling.

"Hello, Dr. Zhou, is there any news about my grandfather and Zhou Lin?" Bai Zhi answered the phone and asked hurriedly.

Dr. Zhou's tone was icy, "Dr. Xiao Bai, is there nothing else you want to discuss now that you've connected?"

"This is the most important thing. Do you know when they'll be back? Is there any news?"

Right now, there's nothing more important than finding my grandfather.

"No," Dr. Zhou replied truthfully.

Bai Zhi, "..."

She immediately wilted. "Then why did you think of calling me?"
