The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Xia Qiuran took a step back, and at the critical moment, Lu Zhenghan suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand to tightly grasp the patient's father's wrist, and used his other hand to protect Xia Qiuran behind him.

"Let's talk this out. I understand how you feel. Don't worry, if anything really happens to your daughter, I will take full responsibility." A serious and solemn light shone in Lu Zhenghan's narrow, indifferent eyes.

But at this point, the patient's family members had completely lost their minds and were no longer listening to any of this.

"You'll take responsibility? What will you offer to take responsibility? Money? What good is money to me if I'm dead?"

"Go to hell, all of you, and be buried with my daughter."

The patient's father's bloodshot eyes blazed with uncontrollable rage. After speaking, he simply let go of the bottle, and the broken bottle landed squarely in his other hand.

This time, however, the sword was aimed directly at Lu Zhenghan.

Fortunately, Lu Zhenghan was agile enough to dodge to the side, and in the process, he shook off the wrist that was holding him.

But at this moment, the patient's father seemed to be possessed. Adhering to the principle of not stopping until someone is hurt, he picked up the broken glass shards on the ground and threw them at Lu Zhenghan.

Finally, he threw the broken soda bottle out like a grenade.

It would be dangerous if any wounds were exposed in this ward full of infectious diseases.

Xia Qiuran's eyes were filled with tension. Lu Zhenghan was innocent, and she couldn't let him get hurt for no reason.

Without thinking twice, she hugged Lu Zhenghan, intending to shield him from harm with her body.

In the midst of the chaos, Xia Qiuran's soft hair brushed against his neck, and the skin that touched felt slightly hot. Lu Zhenghan's body stiffened, and when he realized what was happening, he tried to push Xia Qiuran away.

Xiao Zhang had already knocked the patient's father aside, and the broken soda bottle just missed Xia Qiuran as she threw it elsewhere.

"That's enough, stop fooling around."

Liu Yu then shouted clearly and forcefully.

"Your daughter is cured, it's because of that Dr. Xia you wanted to beat up that your daughter's illness was cured."

The patient's father was stunned, then his eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're trying to lie to me and tell me not to cause trouble. I don't believe you."

"This is an expert from Beijing. If you don't trust him, you probably can't trust any doctor in the whole country," Xiao Zhang added immediately.

"A Beijing expert!"

The patient's father stared wide-eyed, as if he wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth halfway and said nothing.

Liu Yu slowly walked up to the patient's father: "When I first saw your daughter's illness, I was indeed unsure, but now, seeing the blood test results and the black blood she vomited, I can completely conclude that your daughter's condition has improved."

The patient's father remained skeptical: "How is that possible? My daughter's cough is so severe, this doesn't look like she's getting better at all."

Liu Yu: "The black blood is stagnant qi, the root of the illness. How can it be coughed up without a violent cough? Now that the black blood has been vomited out, everything is fine."

"I'm not lying about this. If you don't believe me, you can wait until tonight and see if your daughter's symptoms have improved."

Liu Yu continued to explain, looking directly into his eyes without flinching.

"Dad, I really feel much better after vomiting that black blood."

The patient, who had been lying on the bed, slowly got up with his mother's help, and said weakly.

When the man saw his daughter get up and speak, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

The farce finally came to an end. After leaving the ward, Liu Yu looked at Lu Zhenghan with a serious expression.

"Commander Lu, the patient's condition has basically stabilized. Dr. Xia's treatment method is very correct. I think I no longer need to stay here."

"Dr. Liu, you mean the patient has improved?" Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Lu Zhenghan's face.

"Yes, the patient doesn't have tuberculosis, but rather a type of asthma similar to tuberculosis. Just as I said in the book, I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing the blood test results and the mouthful of fresh blood the patient coughed up, I can now make that conclusion."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Liu." Lu Zhenghan grasped Lu Zhenghan's hand to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome. Your grandfather took good care of my father, so my small favors are nothing to brag about," Liu Yu replied modestly.

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Gao Yingting also breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he meant well by asking Xia Qiuran, who had medical talent, to take a look at a tuberculosis patient who had basically been given a death sentence. He did not expect so many things to happen.

If a medical dispute were to actually occur, it would be inevitable that he, as the hospital leader, would be disciplined, and the hospital's reputation might also be affected.

Fortunately, his judgment was correct in the end, and Xia Qiuran did not disappoint him. He couldn't help but feel even more admiration for Xia Qiuran.

Bai Xia froze on the spot, her face turning even paler than the patient's.

He walked at the back of the line like a wilted, sickly chicken, not daring to utter a single word.

Wu Xue stayed by Bai Xia's side the whole time. Although she was angry and unwilling, she did not have the same psychological pressure as Bai Xia.

After all, she wasn't the one who lost the bet with Xia Qiuran and had to publish an apology.

Upon arriving at Gao Yingting's office, Xia Qiuran and the others followed. Bai Xia, fearing that Xia Qiuran would bring up their bet in front of the leader, had no choice but to slink away.

Once this storm passes, no one will pay attention to Xia Qiuran, an intern, no matter what she says.

Bai Xia spent the entire afternoon in the office feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles. As it was nearing the end of the workday, seeing that Xia Qiuran had not yet returned, her anxiety gradually subsided. This Xia Qiuran was actually quite honest; she knew to avoid her.

Bai Xia stared at the clock on the wall. The hands finally pointed to the hour. She grabbed her handbag and prepared to walk out the door.

But he had only taken one step when he ran into Xia Qiuran, who was returning from outside.

"Director Bai, you're leaving get off work right on time, which is quite unlike your usual style."

Xia Qiuran smiled and glanced at the time before speaking.

Bai Xia has no children, and her husband always works overtime, leaving her cold and alone when he gets home.

So one of the things she most enjoys doing is having a meeting right before the end of the workday, or trying her best to get others to stay with her until the end of the workday, ostensibly for work, but really just to see how miserable others are when they want to leave but can't.

"When I get off work is none of your business." Bai Xia puffed out her chest, speaking in her usual condescending tone, and then lifted her leg to continue walking forward.

"I was being nosy, Director Bai. So, when do you plan to publish the ad in the newspaper?" Xia Qiuran didn't press the matter further but asked directly.

Her main goal was to get Bai Xia to honor the bet, not to engage in idle chatter.

"Why are you publishing this in the newspaper? You're sick in the head."

Bai Xia's eyes darted away, her anger intensifying. After uttering a curse, she prepared to leave.

To expect a hospital director to apologize to an intern? Dream on!

Xia Qiuran wasn't in a hurry. She had already anticipated Bai Xia's character, and simply spoke calmly.

"Director Bai, this matter isn't just known in our ward. I basically spread the word throughout the entire hospital the day we made the bet. I bet even the cafeteria ladies are waiting for the results."

A hint of impatience immediately surfaced in Bai Xia's eyes. If everyone in the hospital knew that she had lost and was refusing to admit defeat, how could she stay here in the future? She gritted her teeth and said.

"Xia Qiuran, how dare you threaten me? I'm your boss. Don't you think about the consequences of making your boss apologize to you?"
