She didn’t even know if that man was still alive.
“Zhou Yu, if you could appear before me and let me see you, I would let go of this engagement.”
The reason Zhao Ruyue had this thought.
It wasn’t because she harbored any fantasies about Zhou Yu.
But because today, she was forced to ask Old Master Sun for help to save the mayor of Yunhai City, and thus had to accept Sun Xing’s conditions.
If this hadn’t happened, she would never have touched upon the memories buried deep in her heart.
Before this, Zhao Ruyue had never thought about marrying a stranger she had never met.
Even if Zhou Yu himself came to her door, she probably would have refused the marriage.
But now, a myriad of thoughts flooded her mind, compelling her to remember this name.
However, Zhao Ruyue had no idea that outside the ward at this very moment, Zhou Yu was staring at her small face, his gaze tinged with anger.
Zhou Yu was very displeased with Zhao Ruyue’s agreement to Sun Xing’s terms!
And this displeasure meant someone was bound to suffer today.
…
Zhao Ruyue’s attitude not only satisfied Sun Xing but also made him incredibly excited.
He wanted to make this beautiful doctor, who looked down on him, his woman by force!
“Master, let’s begin,” Sun Xing said to his master.
Old Master Sun nodded, then handed the walking stick to him.
The walking stick would be of no use when performing acupuncture.
Whoosh—
Seeing that Old Master Sun was finally willing to act, Zhao Ruyue also breathed a sigh of relief.
If it dragged on any longer, it was uncertain whether the mayor of Yunhai City could survive the night.
She could not bear that outcome, nor could the Zhao family and Fifth Hospital.
With such advanced information nowadays, once the news of the mayor of Yunhai City dying at Yunhai Fifth Hospital spread, it would not only be Yunhai City but possibly the entire Long Country that would know!
“Dr. Zhao, the patient’s clothing will affect the final efficacy of the acupuncture. Have a male doctor come in to remove his clothes.”
Old Master Sun originally intended to ask Zhao Ruyue to remove the mayor of Yunhai City’s clothes.
But since Zhao Ruyue was about to become his disciple’s wife, it seemed inappropriate to ask her to remove another man’s clothes at this time.
Therefore, he could only ask Zhao Ruyue to call someone else into the ward.
Besides, Sun Xing needed to assist and naturally wouldn't be able to constantly attend to the mayor of Yunhai City’s body.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Ruyue, though finding it strange, still nodded.
She was a doctor, with a benevolent heart, and would not consider the patient’s gender.
But since Old Master Sun had said so, she didn’t want to ask too many questions.
Zhao Ruyue didn’t go out but sent a message to Du Ping outside the door.
“Dr. Zhao says to have a male doctor come in and help remove the Mayor’s clothes.”
Du Ping, outside the door, read the message out loud upon receiving it.
The male doctors around were all stunned.
Because in their opinion, either Zhao Ruyue or the divine doctor Sun’s disciple could have done this.
Why bother with the extra step?
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be a reason!
It was precisely during the male doctors’ stunned silence that one person rushed in first!
A lone brave one!
Everyone admired him.
However, when everyone saw the appearance of the ‘lone brave one,’ a question simultaneously arose in their hearts.
Who the hell is this guy?
Do we have such a male doctor in our hospital?
Inside the ward.
Zhao Ruyue was also bewildered.
There were many male doctors at Fifth Hospital, but no matter what, she would not forget a face she had seen before.
But this person who suddenly entered, she seemed to have never seen him in the hospital.
Who is he?
Zhao Ruyue was filled with worry.
What was Du Ping doing, casually letting a stranger in?
No, I must find time to educate her properly.
With this thought, Zhao Ruyue wanted to chase the intruder away and find another male doctor.
But before she could speak, the person who entered said, “Dr. Zhao, please move aside, you’re blocking me.”
Zhao Ruyue: “……”
She was stunned, but her body instinctively moved aside.
Making way.
Old Master Sun and Sun Xing did not notice anything unusual.
And this person who suddenly entered was naturally Zhou Yu, who was extremely displeased outside the door.
“Thank you.”
Zhou Yu gave Zhao Ruyue a harmless smile.
Then, he began to undress Wu Wenzhi.
The entire process was fluid and swift, even faster than many nurses who did this frequently.
Zhao Ruyue was surprised.
“Could he be a new male nurse at the hospital?”
With this thought, Zhao Ruyue finally relaxed.
She no longer had any intention of driving Zhou Yu away.
“Disciple, fetch me the silver needles,” Old Master Sun said, sitting on the edge of the bed, ordering Sun Xing to get the needles for him.
Sun Xing replied, “Yes, Master.”
He was already very familiar with this procedure.
Zhao Ruyue, standing by, saw that Old Master Sun was about to begin acupuncture, and all her attention was focused.
This was an excellent learning opportunity that could not be missed.
Zhao Ruyue had seen Old Master Sun perform acupuncture before, but with just that one instance, she hadn’t learned much and found it difficult to replicate the same needling technique.
However, it was precisely because she had seen it once that she dared to let Old Master Sun treat the mayor of Yunhai City.
Otherwise.
Given this special patient’s status.
Even if Zhao Ruyue had a hundred times the courage, she would never have dared to make such a decision.
“Master, everything is ready,” Sun Xing said to Old Master Sun, laying out all the necessary tools.
Next, it was his master’s moment to shine.
After treating the mayor, Zhao Ruyue would be his, Sun Xing’s.
Thinking of his future happy life, Sun Xing’s fingers trembled with excitement.
However.
Just as he and Zhao Ruyue were eagerly awaiting Old Master Sun to begin acupuncture, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
“Grandpa Sun, this needle you’re about to insert will take our mayor’s life!”
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, looking coldly at Old Master Sun’s hand, which was about to insert the needle.
He had initially thought this old man surnamed Sun had some skill.
But the first needle this old man was about to perform made Zhou Yu unable to watch.
Although the mayor of Yunhai City had no significant relation to Zhou Yu, the former had, after all, fallen ill due to overwork, leading to his current condition.
A benevolent heart.
Zhou Yu knew he couldn’t save lives like Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing.
But since he happened to encounter the mayor of Yunhai City here today, it was a form of destiny.
Therefore, Zhou Yu didn’t want to see this person harmed by some so-called divine doctor Sun.
“What do you, a mere doctor, know?”
Zhou Yu’s disrespectful words caused Sun Xing to jump up first.
He pointed at Zhou Yu and made as if to step forward.
In Sun Xing’s eyes, Zhou Yu was merely Zhao Ruyue’s subordinate.
After today, he would be the man of the woman who was the behind-the-scenes boss of Fifth Hospital. What was wrong with disciplining a subordinate managed by his wife?
But Old Master Sun stopped him in time: “Disciple, let’s wait until I finish the acupuncture before dealing with him. No need to mind him now.”
Since his master had said so.
Sun Xing had no choice but to relent.
However, his gaze towards Zhou Yu remained hostile.
Zhao Ruyue, on the other side, could only sigh and shake her head.
She had seen Old Master Sun treat patients and knew best whether he had real skills.
Therefore, Zhao Ruyue also regarded Zhou Yu as a clueless male nurse, and his previous words were purely delaying Old Master Sun’s treatment.
But what she never expected.
The next second, Zhou Yu interrupted Old Master Sun again: “With this needle, the mayor of Yunhai City will surely die, and you and your disciple will end up in prison!”
