After hearing this, Xia Qiuran looked up and scanned the ward again, and found that the doctors standing in the room were all top experts from the hospital. With such a medical team, it would indeed be a bit presumptuous for her to go and see for herself.

Moreover, this matter is far more complex than just seeing a doctor. We don't know what Bai Xia is really up to. If we can avoid it, that would be a good thing.

"Director Feng, you're right. Director Bai is indeed flattering me. My family is from the countryside, and I didn't even have much schooling. The little medical skill I have is all pieced together from various sources. I can handle common illnesses, but I'm definitely not good at treating difficult diseases," Xia Qiuran said bluntly.

Feng Yuan tilted his chin slightly, his gaze sweeping over them as if weighing the pros and cons. He had just cut off Xia Qiuran's path to becoming a formal military doctor, and now their relationship was more like that of enemies. He had already been against Xia Qiuran coming to see his son, and now that she had directly refused, there was even less reason for her to stay and treat him. After a moment, he spoke.

"Alright, since you know your place, I won't force you. Now, go on your way."

"etc."

Just as Xia Qiuran was about to leave, Bai Xia saw this and quickly called her back, then took Feng Yuan aside and said something.

"Director Feng, you're from Beijing, so you must know more about Xiaofei's condition than I do. Right now, at least within our country, this disease is incurable. As for that imported drug, to be honest, none of us know whether it's effective or not."

"Xia Qiuran is very knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine and knows many folk remedies that we don't know about. Maybe she can cure Xiaofei's illness. At the very least, this is an opportunity."

Bai Xia's words were sincere and reasonable, and after she finished speaking, Feng Yuan began to waver again.

He had visited all the major hospitals and consulted with all the famous experts and professors. It was indeed difficult to treat with current medical technology. Otherwise, he would not have brought his son to this small place for treatment with a try-it-and-see attitude.

But will Xia Qiuran really not bring personal grudges into his son's medical treatment?

Seeing that Feng Yuan was still hesitant, Bai Xia quickly added.

"Don't worry about anything else. Xia Qiuran is just a girl from the countryside with no background whatsoever. She doesn't have the guts to do anything bad."

Xia Qiuran will be leaving tomorrow, and it will be difficult to get her back home.

Bai Xia tried her best to persuade her, saying that she had to seize this opportunity. As long as Xia Qiuran interfered with Feng Yuan's son's treatment, she would have a chance to use her to get rid of her.

Feng Yuan narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a while. Looking at his son's weak appearance, he finally couldn't bear it and nodded.

Having no other choice, Xia Qiuran had to bite the bullet and go to Feng Shengfei's side to treat him.

Teenagers are usually mischievous and curious about everything. Although Feng Shengfei has been awake since Xia Qiuran came in, he seems to blink only a limited number of times.

His eyes were dull and he looked very weak, but apart from being a little weak, his pulse was normal.

"Xiaofei, where do you feel unwell?" Xia Qiuran asked.

"My stomach hurts, I feel nauseous, and I have no strength at all," Feng Shengfei replied weakly.

Xia Qiuran twitched her nose. Even through the mask, she could still smell bad breath.

It seems the diagnosis from the Beijing Municipal Hospital was correct; it is liver disease.

"Xiaofei, lift up your clothes and let me touch your belly," Xia Qiuran continued.

As soon as Feng Shengfei lifted the blanket, Feng Yuan rushed over nervously, as if he was afraid that Xia Qiuran would do something harmful to his son.

"If you're here to see a doctor, why are you touching your stomach?"

Xia Qiuran abruptly stopped what she was doing. As a father, she could understand Feng Yuan's feelings, so she patiently explained.

"I want to feel inside his abdomen to see if there are any lumps to determine the cause of the illness."

Upon hearing this explanation, Feng Yuan didn't say anything more, but his gaze became even sharper as he stared intently at Xia Qiuran.

"Okay, open your mouth and let me see your tongue."

After touching his stomach, Xia Qiuran took out a tongue depressor from the medicine box and was about to put it into Feng Shengfei's mouth when Feng Yuan immediately stopped her.

"Director Bai can handle this."

His tense expression made it seem as if Xia Qiuran was about to stab his son's throat with that tongue depressor at any moment.

Finally, with Bai Xia's help, Xia Qiuran was able to see Feng Shengfei's tongue coating clearly, and all the signs indicated that it was a symptom of hepatitis.

However, the exact cause still needs further investigation.

This requires using your hands to more carefully feel the changes inside your body.

"Director Feng, I need your son to lie flat on the bed so I can feel his stomach again with my hand."

Xia Qiuran did not take action directly this time, but turned to Feng Yuan first and said something.

"Didn't you just touch it?" Feng Yuan replied immediately.

"We just confirmed the diagnosis; now I need to determine the cause."

Xia Qiuran patiently explained again, though she was starting to get a little annoyed. If they didn't trust her, why use her?

They guarded against her more closely than against thieves. If every patient was treated like this, she would rather be an ordinary soldier and train every day.

Bai Xia then added a few more words, and Feng Yuan reluctantly agreed.

Following the methods taught in the medical book, Xia Qiuran tentatively pressed on Feng Shengfei's stomach little by little.

Does it hurt here?

"It doesn't hurt."

Xia Qiuran then pressed the next location.

"ah."

Suddenly, Feng Shengfei cried out and clutched his stomach in pain.

Upon seeing this, Feng Yuan immediately ran over and shoved Xia Qiuran aside. Xia Qiuran lost her balance and bumped her lower back against the bedside table.

She winced in pain and hissed.

"I knew you were up to no good. What are you trying to do?"

Before she could even stand properly, Feng Yuan pointed at her and began to berate her emotionally.

"Let me tell you, I'm the one who's holding back your internship application. As long as I'm around, you can forget about ever going down this path again."

It seems his worries were indeed correct; how could a normal person possibly help the family of someone who has harmed them get medical treatment?

Fortunately, he kept a close eye on him; otherwise, his son might have suffered greatly.

Xia Qiuran rubbed her lower back a couple of times before she could stand up straight. Looking at Feng Yuan's arrogant manner of bullying ordinary people just because he was wearing an official's robe, she was immediately filled with anger and let out a snort.

"Director Feng, you certainly have a lot of authority."

"If that's the case, why did you send me to see a doctor in the first place? Director Bai, did you hear me? Don't call me again for anything else."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

A hint of panic flashed in Bai Xia's eyes. They had only just started the treatment and hadn't even started the medication yet. How could she frame Xia Qiuran? But if she didn't get hold of Xia Qiuran now, she would have even more opportunities later.

"stop."

Bai Xia didn't care whether it was reasonable or not, and said fiercely.

"Look how much pain Xiaofei is in now. It's all because of you pressing on him. You've made his condition worse."

Xia Qiuran was so angry she almost laughed. How could they not take her, a mere commoner, seriously? They just made up accusations without any logic.
