Chapter 600: Chapter 600: You Better Not Denigrate Traditional Chinese Medicine

Within the hospital, armed guards stood at the entrance.

Xu Zhi Rou stopped the car, displayed her credentials, and was then allowed to proceed.

Soon, the two parked the car in the parking lot and walked towards the inpatient building.

As they arrived outside the operating room, they happened to see the unconscious Su Delong being wheeled out.

"Doctor, how’s the patient?"

Xu Zhi Rou hurriedly asked the attending physician in a white coat.

"Are you the patient’s leaders?"

The doctor, removing his mask, looked doubtfully at Xu Zhi Rou and Lin Fan.

After all, the two were quite young.

They hardly looked like leaders.

"I am currently in charge of this squad’s operations, here are my credentials."

Xu Zhi Rou handed over her credentials.

After checking them, the doctor then led the two back to his office.

"Here are the patient’s X-rays taken upon arrival."

The doctor placed the films on the light projector.

The two could clearly see the state of Su Delong’s fractured leg bones.

"Both the femur and tibia are completely shattered, particularly the right tibia, which is crushingly eroded by external forces. Fortunately, the joints haven’t suffered fatal damage. I’ve used a steel plate to fix the bones through surgery, but the injuries to his right lower leg are severe. Even with complete recovery, his mobility would be affected, likely leaving him with severe sequelae, and so he can’t undertake frontline tasks anymore."

After comparing the two films, the doctor announced the result.

Although the surgery went smoothly, the sequelae couldn’t be completely healed.

In other words, even if Su Delong recovered, he would still be a cripple.

"This..."

Seeing the report in front of her, Xu Zhi Rou couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

It was known that Su Delong was one of the youngest captains.

For him, with no background, to have fought his way to today, he had literally risked his life.

Add to that his high education and intelligence, as well as countless hours of effort, he had made it to where he was today.

But now he was declared a cripple, forced to retire from frontline combat.

The impact on him was probably worse than death.

"After all, this conspiracy targeted him and was not due to your command error. It’s okay, don’t forget I am a practitioner of Chinese medicine, I will find a way to ensure his legs won’t be crippled,"

Lin Fan patted Xu Zhi Rou on the shoulder.

As the commander, she must feel incredibly guilty.

But as the prey, no one knew the attack targeted him.

And his attitude towards Xu Shiyong yesterday also greatly favored himself.

This man, he was determined to save.

"Yes, I believe you."

Xu Zhi Rou looked gratefully at Lin Fan.

He wasn’t a man to talk big.

Since he made a pledge, he surely could achieve it.

"Nonsense!"

Before Lin Fan could speak, the attending physician disagreed.

Standing up and banging the desk, he stared intently at Lin Fan, "Young man, if you want to charm a lady, is there not a proper time and place for slick words? Oh, I just declared he would be a cripple, and here you are promising you can cure him, are you challenging me?"

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that."

Lin Fan then realized he might have spoken out of turn.

After all, his medical skills didn’t need to be flaunted, nor were they meant to belittle Western medicine.

"Good as long as you didn’t mean it. Seeing you charlatans always aggravates me. Young lady, you’d better keep your eyes wide open and see clearly, a man who talks nonsense all day isn’t worth trusting."

The attending physician looked scornfully at Lin Fan.

Clearly, the mere mention of Chinese medicine had deeply wounded his pride.

"I’m apologizing for what happened just now; I didn’t consider your feelings, but please show some respect for traditional medicine," he said.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

The belittling of traditional medicine was something he truly couldn’t accept.

"Respect? That also needs to be scientifically verified before it can be respected. Those clowns playing big roles in their shabby theaters, what’s there to respect? If traditional medicine is so great, why do people prefer western medicine? The outcome is what matters most. If you don’t have the capability, don’t handle the job!"

The attending doctor furiously slammed his mask onto the table.

In his eyes was nothing but disdain and contempt.

"Alright, let’s drop it. Let’s go see how Su Delong is doing," she said.

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Xu Zhi Rou hurriedly intervened with consolation.

Clearly, the doctor was also stubborn, and there was no need to stay any longer.

"Fine."

Lin Fan had no desire to argue any further.

The minor disturbance wasn’t worth dwelling on in his mind.

Little did he know that in the near future, it would lead to even more complications.

Upon reaching the hospital room, he saw Su Delong, still unconscious.

The anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet.

His legs, cast in plaster, hung there, emanating sadness.

The two sat in chairs, quietly waiting for him to awaken.

Unexpectedly, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately following, Xu Shiyong entered, carrying a fruit basket and accompanied by several people.

But seeing his smug expression, it was clear he wasn’t there to visit the patient.

"Xu Shiyong, what are you doing here?"

Xu Zhi Rou stood up abruptly, furiously glaring at him.

Technically, the two were distant relatives.

But they were absolutely the kind that were estranged.

"Cousin, I heard our team leader was injured, so I came specifically to pay a visit. Is there a problem with that?"

Xu Shiyong greedily eyed Xu Zhi Rou.

It had to be said, she looked striking in her uniform.

"Don’t try to get cozy. You’re no relative of mine. Address me by my rank in the military. Why did you take leave today?"

Xu Zhi Rou narrowed her eyes, wishing she could grind him to dust right there and then.

"Yes, reporting to Mr. Xu, I was injured and couldn’t perform my duties," he said.

Xu Shiyong still carried a careless demeanor.

He simply didn’t take Xu Zhi Rou seriously.

"It seems your injury isn’t that serious!"

The voice of Lin Fan floated from behind Xu Zhi Rou.

Upon seeing him appear, Xu Shiyong instinctively stepped back two paces.

"You... what are you doing here?"

Xu Shiyong had not expected him to be there.

His nose still ached, and he couldn’t help but feel scared.

"If you can be here, why can’t I? Did you think you were the only one with a pass?"

Lin Fan took steps toward Xu Shiyong.

His eyes sparkled sharply, staring intently into the other man’s eyes. "If I’m not mistaken, Su Delong beat you in public yesterday. You were upset, and now that he’s met with an accident, it must have been someone you arranged who did this to Su Delong, right?"

This question made Xu Shiyong’s face stiffen instantly.

Just that small action betrayed his inner thoughts.

Lin Fan was certain that Xu Shiyong was involved.

But of course, Xu Shiyong would never admit to it.

"You... stop talking nonsense. That’s a wanted criminal in sixteen countries; how could I possibly know someone like that? I warn you, unless you have proof, you’d better shut up, or I could sue you!"
