Following this, Section Chief Lu took a device resembling a mobile phone from one of his subordinates and scanned Ling Tian's identification with it.
With a "beep," the scan results appeared on the device, displaying Ling Tian's identity.
"How is it, Section Chief Lu? Is this kid a fake? If he's a fake, then follow the procedures accordingly!" Su Deshang said somewhat viciously.
However, Section Chief Lu's expression was peculiar.
"Team Leader Su, Mr. Ling Tian's identification is genuine, and he is indeed a member of the Third Sword Team of the Sword Bureau!
However..."
"However what?"
"However, his identification is currently locked. The system indicates the reason is 'missing in action'!"
This was not surprising. After all, the plane Ling Tian was on had crashed months ago, and the news had even reported it. Most people believed he had perished in the air disaster.
Although Ling Tian's DNA was not found at the crash site, making it impossible to confirm his death, in the systems of the relevant departments, Ling Tian was still considered a missing person.
Section Chief Lu quickly signaled to his subordinates. His three subordinates immediately adjusted their positions, surrounding Ling Tian. From their partial movements, Ling Tian could tell that these individuals were on high alert and might attack him at any moment!
This was not unexpected. For someone who had been missing for a long time and was presumed dead to suddenly appear in a highly sensitive location like the 704 Hospital was truly bizarre.
Section Chief Lu and his team had decades of security experience, and their awareness of potential threats was excellent. He instinctively felt something was amiss and immediately prepared to subdue Ling Tian, while also investigating if there were others or a conspiracy behind him.
The nature of their work prevented them from overlooking even the slightest hint of danger!
Ling Tian stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face. He was not worried about what these men could do to him. However, Xuanyuan Jie beside him was terrified. He clearly understood the actions of the four men.
Xuanyuan Jie immediately stepped forward, blocking Section Chief Lu.
"Section Chief Lu, I believe you know my position."
Section Chief Lu nodded. After all, Xuanyuan Jie had visited the hospital to see Elder Lu many times, and each time, his identification had been checked and his identity verified.
"Mr. Ling Tian is also a member of our Special Operations Department. For the past six months, he has been undertaking a secret mission for our Special Operations Department.
This mission is highly dangerous, which is why Mr. Ling Tian had to conceal his whereabouts and disappear from public view. His identification was also automatically frozen.
If you require it, the Special Operations Department can provide the relevant official documentation!"
"Very well, then I would trouble you to present the official documentation. The necessary procedures cannot be skipped!"
Section Chief Lu was also a very principled person, handling matters by the book without any carelessness. Thus, Xuanyuan Jie went aside to call Xie Liheng, asking the Special Operations Department to issue the documents.
Deputy Team Leader Su Deshang watched the interaction between Ling Tian and the others, his mind somewhat muddled. Although Ling Tian's identification still had some issues, Xuanyuan Jie had clarified them, stating that it was not Ling Tian's fault.
It seemed that the identity issue would soon be resolved once the documents were transmitted from the Righteous Alliance.
However, this would mean that his previous remarks were essentially self-defeating!
He had just confidently stated that Ling Tian was not a member of the Sword Bureau and was not qualified to treat Elder Lu.
But then, another thought flashed through his mind. According to the identification, Ling Tian was from the Third Sword Team. In fact, within the Sword Bureau, the competition between the Third Sword Team and the First Sword Team was the most intense.
This was because the strength of these two teams was virtually equal, and they did not see eye to eye.
"Ling Tian, I didn't expect you, at such a young age, to have joined the Sword Bureau.
However, I must tell you, although you are a member of the Sword Bureau, the patient's identity this time is unusual!
Do you know that if any issues arise during the treatment, you, including your superiors, will be held responsible!"
Su Deshang was calculating his moves, intending to intimidate Ling Tian into backing down.
"I know!" Ling Tian replied calmly, ignoring him.
"You young man, why are you so ungrateful? I'm doing this for your own good, to protect you!
I know your family paid a great price to get you into the Sword Bureau.
But the problem is, the Sword Bureau needs people with genuine talent and skill. There are plenty of opportunities to gain prestige; you cannot risk Elder Lu's life..."
"Director Su, this is our first meeting, isn't it? This is also the first time you've heard of me!"
Ling Tian's question stunned Su Deshang, who nodded blankly.
"You see, you don't know me at all, nor do you understand me. You also don't know my medical skills.
So why are you concluding that my medical skills are inadequate and that I cannot treat Elder Lu?
We are both medical professionals, and we should be rigorous in our work, always presenting evidence."
"Alas, good advice is wasted on a stubborn fool. I've said what I needed to say today. Elder Lu's condition is, if not terminal, then close to it.
If you insist on intervening, you must be prepared to lose everything you have now, even to the point of sewing clothes!
I suggest you consult your teacher properly and ask if this patient can be taken on!"
"There's no need to ask. My teacher will definitely support me in taking on this patient!"
"Who is your teacher? I'd love to hear about this esteemed immortal!" Su Deshang said mockingly.
"My teacher's name is Gong Heming!"
"Never heard of him. A nobody, an unknown..."
Su Deshang sneered inwardly. A quack doctor, appearing from nowhere, his medical skills were not that brilliant, so how skilled could his student be!
Su Deshang now had an idea: this young man before him might come from a prominent family and, through his family's influence, had entered the Sword Bureau.
There was nothing to fear from such a person. He could even use this as an opportunity to mock and suppress the Third Sword Team.
Just then, Section Chief Lu returned with Xuanyuan Jie, and his subordinates also relaxed their guard.
"Team Leader Su, we have verified Mr. Ling Tian's identity. There are no issues with his status.
His identification has now been unlocked and can be used normally!"
