“Dr. Wen, that patient named Ruan Qingyang has a fracture!”
The young nurse shouted as she ran in, giving Wen Zhiyu the perfect excuse to break free from Shen Lifeng.
The nurse stopped in her tracks, sweat already forming on her forehead as she panted heavily.
Shen Lifeng knew who Ruan Qingyang was, and he also knew that Ruan Qingyang probably liked Wen Zhiyu. His expression immediately darkened.
“Comrade Shen, you can go take care of your own business for now. I’ll be safe here at the hospital.”
Already embarrassed and wanting to leave, Wen Zhiyu seized the opportunity and headed out.
Shen Lifeng wanted to say something more, but just as he reached out, Wen Zhiyu had already walked away.
The consultation room was left with only him.
Unable to help himself, he muttered softly,
“Zhizhi, are you really going to run away after teasing me?”
After leaving the hospital, Shen Lifeng made another phone call to his mother.
“Mom, Zhiyu’s mother’s belongings are still in her hometown. I asked you half a month ago to help retrieve them. Any progress?”
He had made the request two weeks earlier.
Seeing how much Shen Lifeng cared about the matter, Mother Shen naturally understood that her son had finally fallen in love, and she was delighted.
Fallen in love? Good!
If he could really marry Zhizhi and bring her into the family, it would be a blessing accumulated over generations.
However, after contacting relatives there, she learned that Wen Daqiang and Lin Guihua had been stalling and showed no intention of handing the items over.
Mother Shen frowned.
“If they refuse to give them up, then buy them. As long as there’s money involved, they’ll agree.”
The relative on the other end had already tried that approach.
Wen Daqiang and Lin Guihua had indeed been tempted, but they simply couldn’t produce the belongings.
After hearing the report, Shen Lifeng frowned.
Tempted by money but unable to hand the items over could only mean one thing—the belongings were gone.
Most likely lost.
After a moment’s thought, he said,
“Mom, keep looking into it. See if any strangers have shown up around the village recently.”
When Wen Zhiyu arrived at the ward, she finally confirmed that the nurse hadn’t been exaggerating.
Ruan Qingyang really had fractured a bone.
She also noticed the collapsed hospital bed in the room.
Frowning, she asked,
“Did you sleep so hard that you broke the bed?”
No matter how she thought about it, that seemed impossible.
Ruan Qingyang glanced at Ruan Yue.
Wasn’t this all her doing?
Ruan Yue had already come to a realization: there was absolutely no way her brother would ever succeed in pursuing Wen Zhiyu.
So, to protect her own reputation, she decisively shifted the blame elsewhere.
“Who knows how my brother sleeps? The bed just collapsed. But we’ll pay for it! We’ll buy ten new beds and send them over!”
Wen Zhiyu nodded, remembering how wealthy the Ruan family was.
“You could also replace all the hospital beds in the hospital.”
They had already donated a batch of medical equipment. If they upgraded the beds too, the hospital’s conditions would improve tremendously.
Feeling both guilty and trusting Wen Zhiyu completely, Ruan Yue agreed without a second thought.
Since Wen Zhiyu was already there, she personally reset Ruan Qingyang’s fractured bone and bandaged it.
As for the force she used…
Lying on the bed, Ruan Qingyang stared at her with his eyes wide open.
Wasn’t Wen Zhiyu supposed to be the delicate type?
How could she set a bone with her bare hands so steadily, without even the slightest tremble?
The nurses who had followed her over were secretly studying every movement.
This skill!
If they learned it, who knew how many more patients they could help save?
“If any of you want to learn, come find me later. Three days of training—guaranteed to teach you everything.”
Wen Zhiyu spoke confidently.
The nurses nearly jumped for joy.
“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll go tell the others right away!”
While everyone else was still gossiping about Wen Zhiyu, the nurse burst into the room.
“Hurry! Dr. Wen says she’s going to teach us bone-setting techniques—and she guarantees we’ll learn it in three days!”
