"No! Zhao Ruyue, you must pull yourself together. No matter what, you cannot give up until the very last moment!"
She cheered herself on internally.
Zhao Ruyue then carefully placed her grandfather's photo away.
She got up and left the lounge, putting on her sharp and capable demeanor once more.
She would definitely protect the hospital her grandfather founded!
...
At the same time.
Inside a special ward on the sixth floor of the hospital.
Many doctors and nurses surrounded the bedside of Yunhai City's mayor, being berated one by one by a man in his thirties.
However, no one present dared to retort.
They all lowered their heads, enduring the man's scolding.
"The most top-tier hospital in Yunhai, and you can't even cure our mayor? What use are you? Is this all your Fifth Hospital is capable of?"
"Where is Doctor Zhao? Hurry and call her here!"
"If anything happens to the mayor today, how will you explain yourselves to all the media reporters in Yunhai!"
Li Yuan scanned the people in the ward.
While angry, he was also filled with unease.
After all, he was the mayor of Yunhai's personal assistant. If Wu Wenzhi truly became bedridden, his job would undoubtedly be lost, and he might even face disciplinary action.
Just then.
A slightly commanding yet stirring female voice, approaching from afar, reached Li Yuan's ears.
"Assistant Li, rest assured, our Fifth Hospital will do everything in its power to cure the mayor!"
Li Yuan turned to see Zhao Ruyue.
Upon seeing her, his expression remained grim. "I hope so!"
If the mayor couldn't be cured, no one would have an easy time. It didn't matter if it was Zhao Ruyue or anyone else!
Furthermore, with Li Yuan's position, he wasn't afraid of this woman.
Besides, with his job on the line, what was the point of being cautious?
"Assistant Li, please give us some more time. Also, this is a hospital. All patients need peace and quiet. Your emotional state just now is not suitable for venting here."
After saying these words, Zhao Ruyue ignored Li Yuan's ashen face and walked directly to the bedside.
She looked at Mayor Wu lying there, her mind racing.
A moment later.
Gritting her teeth, Zhao Ruyue called out to Du Ping behind her, "Xiao Du, go and invite Elder Sun!"
"Huh?"
"I said go and invite Elder Sun, didn't you hear me?"
"Oh, okay, I'm going now."
After Du Ping confirmed, she hurried out of the ward without delay.
After she left, Li Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Zhao, who is this Elder Sun?"
He had never heard of such a person in Yunhai City.
Although Li Yuan had just berated everyone present, he also knew that if even the Fifth Hospital couldn't cure Mayor Wu, then going to other hospitals in Yunhai would be futile.
Despite his anger.
He had to admit that the Fifth Hospital had the best medical resources in Yunhai City.
"Elder Sun, Divine Physician Sun. I met a folk divine physician a few years ago. His acupuncture skills are incredibly masterful. If he's here, Mayor Wu's illness might still be curable," Zhao Ruyue explained.
Upon hearing this.
Li Yuan's face lit up with joy.
He quickly apologized for his earlier impulsiveness.
"Doctor Zhao, and everyone present, I was a bit emotional just now. I hope you don't mind."
Zhao Ruyue snorted and did not respond.
This surnamed Li was too pragmatic in his attitude, and she didn't want to deal with him.
Seeing this.
Li Yuan felt a bit awkward but didn't care.
As long as Wu Wenzhi could be cured, he would be willing to be slapped twice by Zhao Ruyue.
However.
He didn't know how much Zhao Ruyue had weighed the decision before asking Du Ping to fetch Elder Sun.
As the saying goes, inviting a god is easy, but sending one away is difficult.
The cost of inviting Elder Sun here and having him intervene would be unimaginable.
...
Outside the ward.
Zhou Yu happened to overhear some details of the conversation inside.
His hearing was exceptional, and he could hear clearly even through a closed door.
"Divine Physician Sun? Who is this person?"
The moment Zhou Yu heard the name, he suspected Elder Sun was some charlatan.
But Zhao Ruyue's words made him uncertain.
"Never mind, I'll see how things unfold first."
In fact, Zhou Yu had arrived outside the ward a few minutes earlier.
He had Zhao Ruyue's photo and a little inquiry with the hospital nurses would have easily led him here.
However, he hadn't expected that Yunhai's mayor would be lying in the bed inside.
Now, it was inconvenient for him to directly approach Zhao Ruyue to break off the engagement.
Because of this, Zhou Yu didn't have Su Yuyan follow him further, and instead sent her back to the car.
The timing wasn't right; he needed to wait and see.
...
Half an hour passed.
As countless people anxiously awaited, the Divine Physician Sun mentioned by Zhao Ruyue finally arrived at the Fifth Hospital, leaning on a cane.
"Quick, invite him up," Zhao Ruyue urged.
She dared not delay for a moment.
But Du Ping said, "Doctor Zhao, Divine Physician Sun said he has a way to treat Mayor Wu's illness, but you..."
"Whatever the condition, he can name it!"
Zhao Ruyue couldn't afford to hesitate.
She had already prepared to sacrifice something when she asked Du Ping to find Divine Physician Sun.
The reputation of the Fifth Hospital could not be lost under her watch.
For this, she was willing to pay a great price.
"Doctor Zhao, Divine Physician Sun has gone up."
"Good."
Zhao Ruyue ended the speakerphone call and looked out the ward window, lost in thought.
As for the others present, they were all overjoyed.
The doctors and nurses of the Fifth Hospital were happy to have saved the hospital's reputation and authority.
Li Yuan was naturally happy that Wu Wenzhi could be saved.
And, of course, his job.
Outside the ward, Zhou Yu, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, overheard the situation inside again.
"Zhao Ruyue said he could name his price. Why does it sound wrong to me?"
Zhou Yu wouldn't think the worst of people, but he certainly wouldn't think them too simple.
This so-called Divine Physician Sun clearly intended to gain immense benefits from Zhao Ruyue.
As for what those benefits were, it remained to be seen.
"This woman is desperate and acting rashly. She'll surely be manipulated to the fullest."
Zhou Yu thought this to himself but remained unmoved.
He wanted to wait until he saw this Divine Physician Sun and whether he could cure Yunhai's mayor before discussing the broken engagement with Zhao Ruyue.
...
Time ticked by, slowly passing.
Finally, three figures appeared at the door of the ward.
Du Ping walked in front, and behind her, leaning on a cane, was the Divine Physician Sun known to Zhao Ruyue.
However, this time, he had brought a young man with him.
The moment she saw the young man, a hint of disgust flashed across Zhao Ruyue's face, but she quickly concealed it.
"Elder Sun, please treat Yunhai's mayor," Zhao Ruyue said.
Since she had invited him, it was natural for her to bow and request him.
