I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 496: Chapter 495: The Eavesdropper

When Beisitian returned to the small courtyard, Wei Zhongyuan was already waiting there; it could be said he arrived after lunch.

Normally at this time, there was no need for him to come because Luo Xudong was around. Today, however, was due to the insights he obtained yesterday.

Wei Zhongyuan politely greeted Luo Xudong and then sincerely asked Beisitian to explain the content from yesterday.

”How do you feel after reading it?” Beisitian asked.

The insights given to him yesterday were indeed good, but mostly derived from the Mystic Doctor Talisman Scripture, summarized by Beisitian based on Wei Zhongyuan’s situation.

Probably only someone like Beisitian, who has read it dozens of times, could achieve this. Even an ordinary Mystic Doctor, having read it a few times, couldn’t possibly summarize and condense the scripture’s content for a specific person’s circumstances.

”Extremely beneficial!” Wei Zhongyuan could only use these four words to describe it.

Yesterday, he went through the recorded content many times, verifying it against his learning and experiences, finding many mistakes, and receiving answers to things he previously didn’t understand.

Through this insight-based learning, Wei Zhongyuan even managed to grasp a bit of the edge of Spiritual Talisman.

This filled him with exhilaration.

Wei Zhongyuan shared some of his insights and experiences with Beisitian. Upon hearing this, Beisitian realized he was even wiser than she had imagined, understanding many things without needing verbal explanations.

The Wei Family was indeed fortunate to have someone like Wei Zhongyuan. Even if the Left-wing had extensive connections, once Tao Hailin was gone, their influence would diminish; without someone to uphold it, the network would quickly dissolve.

Beisitian asked Wei Zhongyuan to wait a moment, went into the room, and scribbled another page. Similarly, she gave Wei Zhongyuan ten minutes.

Upon seeing Beisitian’s page, Wei Zhongyuan was incredibly excited, quickly calming himself to focus on memorization. Once ten minutes passed, Beisitian burned the page.

”This insight will greatly help you with Spiritual Talisman. It’s up to you to comprehend as much as possible,” Beisitian said.

As soon as Wei Zhongyuan heard the four words ’Spiritual Talisman,’ he became even more excited, and the usually composed person couldn’t help but show joy on his face. ”Thank you, Doctor Bei!”

With his mind full of the content, Wei Zhongyuan hurriedly left.

Luo Xudong did not ask much about it. Regarding the professional knowledge of the Mystic Doctor, he rarely inquired.

”I’m getting promoted to deputy commander,” Luo Xudong suddenly said.

Beisitian was taken aback, ”So soon?”

”Yes, the appointment letter will take a few days,” Luo Xudong didn’t elaborate much. The quick promotion was not entirely due to the first-class merit but also several successful missions during this time, achieving two more third-class merits!

Even though Luo Xudong had just settled into the position of company commander, given his military achievements, not appointing him would lead to dissatisfaction among the soldiers below and dampen their enthusiasm.

Thus, Luo Xudong seemed to be shooting up like a rocket, reaching deputy commander status in less than two years.

Luo Xudong’s promotion to deputy commander carried the rank of lieutenant colonel.

In peaceful times, a 27 or 28-year-old lieutenant colonel was quite rare; he was like a rising star, shining brightly on his path forward.

That day, Beisitian was in the Chinese medicine clinic, alone except for Qin Fengwang; a shadow appeared at the doorway. Beisitian looked up, and it was Zheng Lulu.

Zheng Lulu glanced at Qin Fengwang; Beisitian knew she had something on her mind and said a word to Qin Fengwang before stepping out.

Not far from the Chinese medicine clinic, Zheng Lulu stopped and said, ”Sister Sitian, could you take me up there?”

Beisitian noticed her hesitancy and agreed to help with this small favor.

She took Zheng Lulu up to the sixth floor of the surgery building. This area, not involved with emergency, had most of its clinics and examination areas downstairs, making this floor generally quiet.

Zheng Qiwai usually came on Thursdays because he was often fully booked, remaining busy from start to finish each working day till midday.

”I won’t go with you,” Beisitian said at the elevator entrance.

Zheng Lulu nodded and walked in the direction Beisitian indicated, her pace slowing, causing Beisitian to feel uneasy about leaving.

Beisitian thought about it and decided not to head downstairs but instead sat on a chair in the corner. Although she couldn’t clearly see what was happening over there, she could hear it.

Zheng Lulu stood in the corridor, hesitating to knock on the door, seemingly gathering courage. Perhaps she hadn’t seen her brother in a decade and wasn’t sure of his temperament now.

Just as Zheng Lulu was about to step forward to knock on the door, she saw the clinic door open, and Zheng Qiwai emerged.

Zheng Lulu stared at him, although he had matured more, he overlapped with the image of her brother in her mind.

”Brother...” Zheng Lulu’s nose suddenly felt a bit sore. Her brother used to pamper her the most, always giving her the best food and fun things; he would protect her when their parents scolded her.

Upon hearing her voice, Zheng Qiwai turned to look, slightly stunned to see Zheng Lulu, then continued walking ahead as if he hadn’t recognized her.

As Zheng Qiwai brushed past her, Zheng Lulu grabbed his shirt corner, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, choking as she said, ”Brother, I’m Lulu...”

Zheng Qiwai looked at the girl before him, brows furrowing, ”Who is Lulu?”

Zheng Lulu’s expression froze — who is Lulu?

”Do we know each other?” Zheng Qiwai looked at the girl, her face full of tears, unmoved.

Zheng Lulu released his shirt corner, stepping back in disbelief as she looked at Zheng Qiwai. It was just as someone told her: her brother had no intention of acknowledging them!

”Why? I’m your sister!” Zheng Lulu went from feeling wronged to angry; if not for her mother’s heartache, she might have turned and left. For such a brother, it’s better not to acknowledge him!

Zheng Qiwai’s face showed impatience, ”You’re such an inexplicable girl. Even if you want to chat up, this isn’t the way!”

Zheng Lulu gathered her composure, tears still on her face, tightly pursing her lips, stubbornly looking at Zheng Qiwai. Should she turn and leave, then tell her mother that her brother was already dead? Would that be enough!

Beisitian, hearing their conversation clearly from the corner, unconsciously frowned. She believed Zheng Lulu’s words; on their first meeting, she found Zheng Qiwai familiar. At that time, she couldn’t recall, but actually, he looked very much like Zheng Lulu!

Now Zheng Qiwai, successful and renowned, was unwilling to acknowledge his mother and sister?

Beisitian leaned forward a bit to observe Zheng Qiwai’s expression but unexpectedly spotted someone hiding behind a door on the other side of the corridor, listening to the conversation between the two!
