Chapter 576 Sure Enough, Lu Jingye Is Not a Simple Character. He Even Factored In Patriarch Lu In His Plot
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Elder Tang said, “There’s something that I think is necessary to make clear to Mr. Situ. My student has yet to obtain her doctor’s qualification certificate and if you are willing to receive treatment from her, then please sign an agreement first.”
No matter the identity of the other party, at the thought of the sharp questions that the reporters had brought up, Elder Tang felt that there was a need to sign an agreement.
Situ Hong heard what had happened earlier from his grandson. After a few seconds of deliberation, he said, “Why don’t we do it like this? Elder Tang shall be responsible for my treatment while Little Zi is your assistant?”
Elder Tang was momentarily stunned. It took him a second before he understood the meaning of his words.
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that? By examining your illness using my name, all the problems will be resolved.”
With this reason, Elder Tang was at ease to let Zi Yi examine the elderly man.
Zi Yi first did a checkup for him, then completed a session of acupuncture. An hour or so had passed after she had finished with everything. Zi Yi looked at the elderly man lying on the bed and said, “The chronic illness you have is rather severe. You have to undergo at least five sessions of acupuncture, one session per week.”
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of how the second session would be near her wedding date and so, she looked toward Elder Tang and revealed a fawning smile. “Teacher-“.
Elder Tang had also thought of this aspect and said, “I’ll take over the second session. You shall handle the remaining sessions.”
Zi Yi hastily nodded her head.
Since she had already made arrangements for the elderly man, Zi Yi and Elder Tang left the treatment room.
The young man stepped out and sent them off.
While they walked through the corridor, the young man suddenly said, “My name is Situ Feng.” Zi Yi and Elder Tang looked at him at the same time.
Situ Feng turned to Zi Yi and asked, “My Grandfather will be staying here for a few months and since Doctor Zi is an M.Uni student, can I come looking for you directly if I have a problem?”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “You might not necessarily find me even if you wanted to.”
She had lessons from several different schools and would get dragged away to complete experiments from time to time. Even she herself was not sure which school she would be
at.
“You can take down my phone number. If there’s anything wrong with Grandfather Situ, or if you need something, you can give me a call first.”

Situ Feng nodded his head and took out his phone. After Zi Yi gave him her phone number, he left her a missed call. “This is my number. If you need my help in the future, you can feel free to reach me.”
Zi Yi nodded. She took out her phone and glanced at his phone number before putting away her phone.
She then informed him about what details he had to pay attention to.
Situ Feng listened to her with full attention and at the end, he asked, “I am thinking of having my Grandfather live outside. When it is time for the acupuncture sessions, I’ll bring him to the hospital. Will that be ok?”
“That’s fine.” Zi Yi nodded.
Elder Tang chimed in and said, “I recall that the country does provide a sanatorium[1] for special veterans and in fact, you can send your Grandfather there.” Situ Feng shook his head. “There’s no need. My younger sister and I will take turns caring for my Grandfather. We shall not place any additional burden on the country.”
“I will be looking for accommodation near M.Uni these days. Elder Tang, Doctor Zi, do you have any suggestions?”
“It’s best if it comes with a yard.” Elder Tang suddenly thought of something. “I am acquainted with a professor who just so happened to be heading abroad to study for two years. You can ask him if he is willing to rent his house to you for a few months.”
The professors’ places of residence were all allocated by the school and each one was a small building that came with independent yards. The surrounding environment and atmosphere there were good, and it was good for a patient’s recuperation.
Situ Feng would definitely be willing. Elder Tang then told him the professor’s name and contact number.
Before Situ Feng left, he did not forget to thank them. “Thank you for your help.”
“You’re welcome.”
As soon as Elder Tang said that, he saw the Deputy Director, who had left during the acupuncture session, walking over in large strides.
“Elder Tang, Little Zi.”
When the Deputy Director saw them, he hastily came over and said, “The patients whom Little Zi had examined earlier are unwilling to leave. They insist that Little Zi give them the prescription.”

Elder Tang asked, “Have those reporters left?” “They’re gone,” The Deputy Director said, “They were chased away by the patients and their family members.”
Elder Tang furrowed his brows. “Since this matter has been made known, the outside world would definitely keep an eye on this incident. Tell them to wait for Little Zi to obtain her doctor’s qualification before coming to take their prescription.”
“That’s what I said to them, but those patients just wouldn’t leave.”
The Deputy Director was stuck in a tricky situation. He could not possibly get his staff to chase them away.
He then looked at Zi Yi, with the hope of letting Zi Yi make the decision. “Leave them be, if they are unwilling to leave. However, you should make a statement and publish this incident on your official website first. Or else, there will definitely be people who would interpret the situation out of context.”
The Deputy Director slapped his head. “Right, how could I have forgotten this. Alright, I’ll go and get someone to do it right away.”
The Deputy Director turned around and took his leave. Elder Tang looked at the Deputy Director’s back view and said out of worry, “Someone must have communicated with the reporters which was why they had arrived so quickly. Little Zi, you should pay attention these days.”
In fact, the first person Elder Tang thought of was Patriarch Lu.
He had always opposed her marriage with Lu Jingye and perhaps he had motioned for people to cause trouble. However, it was hard for him to talk about this without any evidence.
After all, Patriarch Lu had his own influence and in the event that his guess turned out to be wrong, it would be hard to backtrack.
Zi Yi knew what Elder Tang was concerned about and said, “Teacher, there’s no need to worry. It’s just a few reporters.”
Even though Situ Feng did not understand their conversation, he knew that someone was plotting against Zi Yi and so, he said, “Doctor Zi, if you need any help, please do let me know.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and left together with Elder Tang.
When they walked out of the inpatient department, Elder Tang thought about it and said, “Little Zi, you should leave from the side exit. Those patients are still in the front hall, so I’ll go out and talk to them.”
Zi Yi took a look at the current time. It was about time for lessons to end. She nodded her head and walked towards the side exit.
As soon as she walked out of the hospital, Zi Yi received Lu Jingye’s phone call.
Lu Jingye said to her, “Those reporters are hired by the Chu Family.”
“I understand.” Zi Yi did not take their actions to heart at all. However, since they were from the Chu Family, either Chu Xuan or Chu Xiang must have revealed this incident. She coldly snorted. “These people only dare to do such little tricks in private.”
Lu Jingye responded with a hum and said, “Little Zi, I will be flying to a few camps in the next few days.”
“Are you going to personally dispatch the military supplies?”
“Yes. The supplies will be transported by military aircraft. I will try my best to return by evening.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingye had suddenly got the right to allocate the military supplies once again. It could be said that the eight aristocratic families had gotten to know of this news at the very first instance.
“Sure enough, Lu Jingye is not a simple character. He factored in Patriarch Lu in his plot.”
“I wonder how Patriarch Lu will react after learning that the grandson he had kicked out of the family himself has made a fool of him.” [1] An establishment for the medical treatment of people who are convalescing or have a chronic illness. Situ Hong has a chronic illness so a sanatorium is suitable for him.
