Chapter 733: You've Offended Someone

Director Wang led a large group of people on a ward round.

After checking on Gu Jingyi's condition, he smiled and said to him,

"Comrade Gu, please get some rest. If you feel unwell, please remember to tell the doctor in charge of your room."

"Okay, thank you."

He kept wanting to ask if she had already left.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to ask the question.

After the doctors left, the nurses brought him breakfast and fed him.

His mind was filled with the image of her fiercely shoving food into his mouth yesterday.

Did she really leave?

That would be excellent.

I managed to finish breakfast with difficulty.

He stared blankly at the ceiling again.

Just then, Political Commissar Zhang came to visit him.

Political Commissar Zhang came in empty-handed, stood by the bed, looked at him, and asked, "How are you feeling today?"

"I don't feel well." In front of his familiar comrades, Gu Jingyi didn't need to hide anything and directly expressed his feelings.

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang said quietly, "His girlfriend has run away, he must be feeling uncomfortable."

Gu Jingyi, "..."

He felt even more upset.

She turned her face away and refused to talk to him anymore.

Political Commissar Zhang pulled up a stool and sat down, looking at the man on the hospital bed with a heart full of heartache.

His expression softened, and he looked at him and said, "Xiao Gu, you've suffered this time."

"Our unit has already applied to the higher authorities for an award for you. The award will be issued in a while, and you'll definitely receive a second-class merit."

Gu Jingyi's gaze was blank, and his tone was indifferent, "Political Commissar, you know I don't care about these things."

"Of course I understand, but this is what you deserve."

"But your body..."

Political Commissar Zhang looked him over and sighed deeply.

Political Commissar Zhang sighed, and Gu Jingyi's heart sank even further.

He knew he had been given a second chance at life.

No, it's only half a life now.

He spoke defiantly, "Political Commissar, just say what you have to say. I can handle it. I know the doctor has been comforting me and hasn't told me the truth. My condition is very serious, and I'm mentally prepared."

"It was originally very serious, but if you encounter a doctor with miraculous healing skills, it is possible to recover."

Political Commissar Zhang looked at him and sighed again, "What a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Gu Jingyi didn't understand why the political commissar, who had always been the spiritual pillar of their regiment, was sighing so often at this time.

In the past, even if a soldier was on his last breath, Political Commissar Zhang would cheer him on and encourage him.

Today, he didn't act like a political commissar at all in front of him.

It's more like they're there to annoy him.

He just said that if he encounters a doctor with miraculous healing abilities, he can recover.

Given Political Commissar Zhang's style of handling things, he would definitely comfort him at this time, saying that the organization would do its best to find the most authoritative doctor to cure him.

Under Gu Jingyi's questioning gaze, Political Commissar Zhang spoke up, "It's a pity you've offended someone."

Gu Jingyi, “???”

Political Commissar Zhang met his gaze, his tone displeased, "What are you being so dramatic about? Director Lu Shan came all the way from Nancheng to perform your surgery, and afterwards she stayed to take care of you. Doesn't that show how much she cares for you? Why do you have to be so hypocritical and push her away, making her sad and upset? Why bother?"

Political Commissar Zhang looked at him and asked, "I just don't believe you have absolutely no feelings for her?"

Gu Jingyi avoided his gaze, and he gave a bitter smile, "I'm already like this, what feelings are left to speak of?"

"So you're keeping her at arm's length because your injuries are too severe, you feel unworthy of her, and you're afraid of being a burden to her?"

Gu Jingyi remained silent.

Political Commissar Zhang gave him no chance to evade the question, his tone forceful, "Answer me, isn't that right?"

"Political Commissar, please stop being so aggressive."

Looking into his lifeless eyes, Political Commissar Zhang couldn't bear to press him any further. He sighed, "Fine, I'll see through it but not say it outright, okay?"

"However, your behavior is really wrong. In my opinion, it is just pretentious, immature, irresponsible, and an attempt to evade the problem."

Gu Jingyi, "..."

It was precisely because he was responsible that he didn't want to be a burden to her.

Political Commissar Zhang then asked him, "Do you know who Bai Zhi is?"

“Lu Ye’s lover,” Gu Jingyi replied.

Political Commissar Zhang was very dissatisfied with Gu Jingyi's answer.

"Your answer reflects a preconceived prejudice against lesbians. She is not just someone's lover; she also has her own career and achievements."

Political Commissar Zhang spoke of Bai Zhi with pride, saying, "She is the granddaughter of the famous Doctor Ye. The two of them, grandfather and granddaughter, have mastered all the antidotes for the poisons we can find so far."

You wouldn't believe it, but last year when Lu Ye came down from the front lines, his condition was far more serious than yours. He was on the verge of death, and the Nancheng Military Region Hospital was helpless. In the end, Bai Zhi withstood the doubts and pressure from all sides to cure the poison plaguing his body. They developed a deep affection for each other and eventually got together.

Commissar Zhang then added mysteriously, "Furthermore, I've heard that Dr. Ye has many ancestral secret formulas. For scars like the one on your face, their muscle-regenerating powder can cure most of them. As for your leg, Director Lu's medical skills are superb, and the surgery was very successful. With proper rest and recuperation, you can fully recover to a normal state."

Political Commissar Zhang concluded, "Therefore, you could have fully recovered."

“But now you’ve offended two big shots. They’re going back to Nancheng this afternoon. Who’s going to treat your injuries?” Political Commissar Zhang looked at him and questioned him angrily.

"You mean that another doctor, Bai Zhi, can detoxify the poison in my body? To what extent can she detoxify it?" Gu Jingyi had received too much information from Political Commissar Zhang's words and couldn't process it all at once.

Can the drug toxins in his body really be completely eliminated?

Can Angelica dahurica detoxify?

Political Commissar Zhang said, "You can recover to the same extent as Lu Ye. I believe your willpower is stronger than Lu Ye's, so you will definitely recover faster."

"The injury on my face can be healed, you're not lying to me?" Gu Jingyi's voice trembled involuntarily because of some realization.

Political Commissar Zhang rolled his eyes at him impatiently, "Why would I lie to you? You know that my son suffered a head injury and developed epilepsy three years ago because of that incident, right? Xiaowei is all better now, thanks to Baizhi."

After he finished speaking, a look of pride and admiration appeared on his face again. "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a little miracle doctor."

When Gu Jingyi heard that Xiao Wei's epilepsy had been cured, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

A traditional Chinese medicine doctor did indeed come to him for acupuncture a couple of days ago.

He murmured, "Isn't Dr. Bai Zhi a doctor at a military hospital? How could she just leave like that?"

Political Commissar Zhang explained, "She's not a practicing doctor at the military hospital; she's running a renowned doctor's studio in cooperation with the military hospital. Besides, the studio is named after her maternal grandfather, so she can go wherever she wants; she's very free."
