Chapter 726: Good News or Bad News?

Gu Jingyi needed to rest, and they didn't want to disturb him. After Lu Ye and Political Commissar Zhang greeted him, they were asked to leave the ward by the doctor.

The head nurse said to them, "We will take care of the patient for the time being. He cannot eat for the time being. He can eat some liquid food after he passes gas."

"Remember not to feed him."

Political Commissar Zhang responded, "Okay, our comrades will keep watch outside and let us know if anything happens."

After resting for a while, Lu Shan came with Director Wang to check on the patient's condition. Gu Jingyi was still drowsy at this time.

Lu Shan instructed Director Wang, "You must take this seriously. Make sure Dr. Bai's acupuncture treatments don't stop and he comes for treatment on time. I'm worried that the drug toxicity might affect his wound."

This had happened to Lu Ye before.

They must avoid it.

"Director Lu, don't worry, Dr. Xiaobai will come over this afternoon to do acupuncture. She is very dedicated and pays great attention to the patients' conditions."

Lu Shan nodded and added, "Also, remember the doctor's orders and give him anti-thrombotic medication. Being bedridden for so long could easily lead to thrombosis."

"Okay, it's all been added to the doctor's orders."

"Director Lu, please go and rest."

"Okay." Director Wang accompanied her out of the ward.

The person on the hospital bed struggled to slowly open his eyes. He heard that familiar voice again. He tried to open his eyes and saw a female doctor wearing a white coat and a mask, whose face he couldn't see. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the female doctor had already left the ward.

He looked at the nurse checking the instruments by the bedside and asked in a hoarse voice, "Which hospital am I in?"

"Hello, comrade, we are a military hospital."

"That doctor from earlier...did she perform my surgery?" he asked again.

"Yes, the surgery was very successful. Please rest assured. You may be feeling a bit uncomfortable now, but you will feel much better after 6 hours. At that time, we can help you turn over slowly. Also, you can start eating after you pass gas. Please hang in there."

After the nurse finished speaking, she left the ward before Gu Jingyi could say anything, saying she was going to get his medicine.

This IV drip is almost finished; it needs to be changed.

Gu Jingyi's eyes deepened.

That voice... it's so familiar.

The patient's condition is stable now, so Lu Shan doesn't need to stay at the hospital all the time. However, she can't leave yet and needs to observe for two days. She can only return to Nancheng if there are no unexpected problems with the patient.

Now, she plans to go find Bai Zhi.

Now that her work is done, she needs to have a short get-together with her family.

As soon as I arrived downstairs at the inpatient building, I saw my younger brother and sister-in-law waiting there.

Bai Zhi walked over and affectionately took her arm. "Sister, didn't you eat lunch today? Lu Ye and I will treat you to lunch outside. You look very tired and must be hungry."

"I'm not hungry. A colleague got me some food, but I don't really have an appetite."

“Lu Ye and I didn’t eat lunch today. It’s already past 2 o’clock. Let’s go get some food.”

Once Lu Shan had eaten and drunk her fill and had the strength and energy, they could tell her about Gu Jingyi.

Otherwise, if she were to tell him now, she would immediately rush off to take care of Gu Jingyi and definitely wouldn't have time to eat today.

Lu Shan initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that her younger brother and sister-in-law hadn't eaten lunch, she agreed.

"Let's go, there's a restaurant outside the hospital with pretty good stir-fries, let's grab something to eat first."

Once inside the restaurant, Lu Ye ordered a lot of dishes and white rice for all three of them. He then handed chopsticks to Lu Shan and Bai Zhi, saying, "Eat quickly, it's getting late."

Bai Zhi said, "You eat too, you've worked hard too."

Lu Shan looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law with a look of great satisfaction.

"Xiaozhi, I'm so happy to see how well your careers are going.

Bai Zhi looked at her with admiration and said with a smile, "Sister, you're great too. You've been promoted to director of orthopedic surgery. Your professional skills are so strong. You're our role model."

Lu Shan smiled wryly, "I'm already this old, what's so special about this little achievement?"

She doesn't care about career achievements; in recent years, she has focused all her energy on work, becoming a complete work machine and using work to numb herself.

"Lu Ye, about that thing I asked you to inquire about before..."

Lu Shan put down her chopsticks after eating only a few bites and asked Lu Ye the question that was on her mind most.

Lu Ye promised her last year that he would inquire about Gu Jingyi, but so much time has passed and he hasn't mentioned it once.

To be honest, she had already prepared for the worst.

But she still needed a result, an answer.

Gu Jingyi's parents also grew old while waiting.

Nobody knows how much longer the two elderly people can hold on.

Everyone is waiting for a result.

Looking at his sister's tired expression and sad eyes, Lu Ye felt a pang of sadness. He said, "Sis, shall we eat first? I'll explain in detail after we eat. It's not very convenient here."

Lu Ye glanced around the small restaurant and spoke in a low voice.

Gu Jingyi's matter is highly confidential; how could it be discussed casually in a place like this?

Lu Shan wasn't thinking about food. He shook his head and said, "I'm not very hungry. You guys eat."

Bai Zhi considerately served her some food, saying, "Sister, please eat something. You had such an intense surgery this morning, and you haven't been eating much lately. How can your body take it? I reckon you'll have to stay up late tonight."

"Why?" Lu Shan looked at her in confusion.

The surgery was successful and the patient's condition was stable. There were other doctors in the hospital, so why was she, a surgeon from another hospital, staying up all night?

Lu Shan's first thought was that Bai Zhi wanted to invite her to her home to chat and catch up with them.

Bai Zhi smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, you definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."

Lu Shan was still confused.

Bai Zhi enthusiastically served her some food, saying, "Sister, come on, try this dish. It's a local specialty."

Seeing that Lu Shan didn't move, she looked at Lu Shan and smiled as she advised her, "Let's all eat more. Lu Ye will talk to you in detail later. No matter what, you have to eat your fill, right?"

Bai Zhi was so enthusiastic that Lu Shan couldn't refuse her hospitality.

Even if you have no appetite, you can only continue eating with them.

She hadn't wanted to eat earlier because she was feeling down, but now that she was really into eating, seeing how much Lu Ye and Bai Zhi were enjoying their meal, and with Lu Ye promising to talk to her about Gu Jingyi after dinner, Lu Shan suddenly felt like eating again.

She was indeed hungry.

After finishing her meal, Lu Shan looked at Lu Ye expectantly, waiting for him to answer her earlier question.

Lu Ye glanced around and said in a low voice, "Let's go outside and talk."

Although there weren't many people eating at this small restaurant, it was still a public place, so it wasn't a place to talk about important matters.

Lu Shan quickly got up and walked outside.

Bai Zhi still held her arm and said, "Let's go to my office."

It was very hot outside around 2 p.m., and there were no parks or quiet places nearby.

It's not a good time to discuss business outside.

“Okay, let’s talk in your office.” Lu Shan’s intuition told her that Lu Ye should bring her some news this time.
