Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 168 Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Zhuo Tong lay silently on the hospital bed in the examination room.

Only occasionally, like a fish out of water after being brought ashore, it would twitch its body and make a gurgling sound.

Even though his blindfold, handcuffs, and leg irons had been removed, he had absolutely no intention of moving around.

I lay quietly in bed, enjoying this hard-won peace and tranquility.

The previously inflamed and swollen skin has now subsided, but the skin remains congested and red.

It even retains that burning pain.

It was entirely because Bai Wei applied the medicine carelessly and for so long.

So, how much time has passed exactly?

Just now, Bai Wei seemed to have completely forgotten what the world was, and was only immersed in her performance art of healing and saving lives.

Zhuo Tong struggled to lift her eyes; the clock on the wall showed it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

He remembered that when he went to find Han Qi to participate in the badminton club activity, it was almost eight o'clock, and the activity ended and he left the badminton hall before ten o'clock.

In other words, he had been trapped in this room by Bai Wei for a full three hours.

These three hours were the time she spent conducting countless experiments.

No wonder he studied medicine; his use of the controlled variable method is masterful.

Each time, one variable must be controlled, such as the type of gloves, the type of anti-swelling ointment, the frequency of application, the area covered by the ointment, and whether any other stimuli are added during the application process.

Then the remaining variables had different choices, and after a series of permutations and combinations, Zhuo Tong himself couldn't remember how many experiments he had gone through.

All we know is that during the last two experiments, the blindfold was rubbed off, and we could see Bai Wei's disappointed expression after the experiments.

There was no way around it; by the end, I had cried all my tears out, and there wasn't a single tear left.

Even though he had just received physical enhancements, he didn't have Wolverine's super healing ability or Superman's steel body.

Just like the Earth's oil resources, they are finite; every little bit used is a little less.

Moreover, at the beginning, Bai Wei was unaware that... her body had been strengthened, and the time required for each rest was greatly shortened, so she deliberately reserved some time to keep a low profile and recuperate.

Later she discovered that... the more she fought, the stronger she became, and after a short rest...

...His gaze changed instantly.

……inhuman.

The culprit behind all this—Bai Wei—is now sitting calmly in her chair as if nothing happened.

Just like when Zhuo Tong first met her, she was engrossed in writing something at her desk, her bare feet crossed, and a shoe was dangling from the other foot.

It was clear that she was in a very good mood; her usually serious eyes were now slightly more raised than usual.

Her lips curled up slightly, and her movements as she picked out the shoes were light and quick, indicating that she was quite excited and satisfied.

"What an unfathomable woman..."

In Zhuo Tong's view, shouldn't applying ointment be a common and routine action?
I've known so many women, and even if we weren't in a romantic relationship, I've applied ointment with quite a few of them.

But Bai Wei was the first person to proactively apply ointment for him, and then she was even smug about it. It was really strange.

"Could it be... that she enjoys doing this? But there's absolutely no benefit to it..."

"Applying ointment is not only tiring for your hands, but you also don't get any feedback. It's a purely one-sided effort."

"She either enjoys the feeling of being in control, or she's very simple-minded and genuinely doing academic research."

Zhuo Tong hadn't expected that Bai Wei had been trying to persuade her to stay and allow her mother to recover in the hospital for a longer period so that she could visit the hospital more often.

You should have just said so earlier if you were doing these things. If you had just said so, you would have known whether I was willing or not!

It's like a secret agent who has just finished torturing their target before asking, "Are you going to talk or not?!"

"I didn't think you even asked!"

The silence in the consultation room was broken by the soft sound of Bai Wei putting down her pen. She slid over from the wheeled office chair, leaned down, and used a flashlight to examine Zhuo Tong's pupils and other physiological conditions.

"Normal, everything is normal."

Bai Wei placed the flashlight on the corner of the table and shifted her gaze back to it:
"Do you feel any discomfort?"

"Have……"

Zhuo Tong's voice had long been hoarse from shouting, and now his voice was weak and feeble, sounding as unpleasant as fingernails scratching on a blackboard.

"Where does it hurt."

"The area where the medicine was applied... hurts."

"That's it."

Bai Wei then slid her hand to the spot where she had just applied the medicine, examined it carefully for a while, nodded, and said:

"Yes, indeed. If left unattended, it will become very serious."

"What should I do, Dr. Bai? I still need to make a living, this can't get worse."

She blinked, thought for a moment, and then asked:
"Generally, you need to cool down. I have ice cubes and aloe vera gel here. You can choose one."

"Aloe vera gel! And please, no ice cubes, I really can't stand it."

Zhuo Tong pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.

Although there is a "high-level Heavenly Rank combat skill" called "Ice and Fire Dual Heaven", this combat skill is obviously not suitable for this situation.

If another extreme cold were to arrive, I'd probably have to retire early at the prime age of 25.

I don't want to experience such sadness. I still have most of my prime years ahead of me, and I dare not give up my happiness for the rest of my life now.

Bai Wei opened her handbag, as if she had been prepared, and directly took out the aloe vera gel from the inner compartment without even needing to think twice:
"Just kidding, I don't actually have any ice here."

"Then why are you asking me?"

"That's very interesting."

Zhuo Tong was stunned; he really hadn't expected to hear such words from Bai Wei's mouth.

It's surprising that someone known for being meticulous, serious, and rarely smiling could say "very interesting."

The bizarreness is no less than that of a native Cantonese person saying that they don't like drinking soup or herbal tea, but prefer spicy food and hot pot.

But after thinking about it, I quickly felt relieved.

"Actually, there's one more thing. When I said I faked the scene, I was lying to you."

Because it's interesting?

"Ah."

Zhuo Tong remained silent for a while, then quietly asked:

"Dr. Bai, what were you doing at the Wangting Building that day?"

"It's nothing, just trying out a foot massage."

"That's it."

Zhuo Tong nodded and remained silent.

Actually, I, as the boss, know perfectly well what she's doing; I could just ask the receptionist.

Just when Zhuo Tong thought Bai Wei would pretend to be stupid, she spoke directly:

"I got lost that day and went into the wrong room..."
