Chapter 18: I Can Save the Old Master

After bidding farewell to the couple, Li Chuan quickly headed to the school.

The school wasn't far from home, just a ten-minute walk. Besides, this area belonged to the university town, so there weren't many vehicles during normal times. The environment was nice, making the walk quite comfortable.

Images of Zhao Qingyao and the vice dean appeared in Li Chuan's mind, and he realized the two were indeed a perfect match.

But it's a pity they can't have their own children.

It's said that Zhao Qingyao had a miscarriage before, which seemed a bit strange.

Based on Li Chuan's previous interactions with Zhao Qingyao, he found that her bodily functions should be normal. However, there was a faint sense of chill within her that wasn't like Song Hanzhang's uterine cold. As for what it was exactly, Li Chuan couldn't say right now; it was just a feeling he had.

By the time Li Chuan arrived at the school, the instructor hadn't started the military training yet, and a group of new students was freely moving around the playground.

Most people gathered in groups, seemingly from the same dormitory, talking and laughing, full of youthful energy.

Li Chuan glanced around and spotted the girl Zhang Dabiao mentioned yesterday, standing all alone under a tree, looking very lonely.

She was wearing the same camouflage uniform, yet on her, it emphasized her tall and slender figure, making her look exceptionally captivating,

especially the curve between her waist and hips, which was fully exposed.

Instinctively, Li Chuan took a few steps forward, wanting to get a better look at her features.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves onto her face, making her skin seem to glow.

With just one look, Li Chuan suddenly thought she resembled someone from a movie.

After thinking carefully, he recalled that the girl Zhang Dabiao took a liking to actually looked very much like the actress Ni Ni!

This beauty was both modern and not devoid of classical elegance.

Her facial features were prominent, with a high nose bridge and full lips forming elegant facial lines.

Her oval face, even without makeup, radiated stunning youthful vitality through her translucent skin and naturally curled hair.

Honestly, while her features might not be as exquisite as Shen Xuanyi's, her aura was unmatched by Shen Xuanyi.

Moreover, her figure was more slender and long than Shen Xuanyi's!

"What are you looking at!"

At this moment, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Jun walked up from behind, bumping Li Chuan on the shoulder.

Li Chuan's face flushed red.

"I laid eyes on her first, do you understand the concept of first come, first served? You can't just cut in and steal her away!" Zhang Dabiao bumped Li Chuan's shoulder with a wary face.

"Chuan, don't mind him. There's no such thing as first come, first served!" Wang Jun said disdainfully, "In pursuing girls, it depends on everyone's abilities, and it also depends on who the girl likes, doesn't it?"

"Exactly, a forced melon isn't sweet!" Li Chuan chuckled, "Zhang Dabiao, aren't you satisfied with having Shen Xuanyi? We're all classmates, you play with someone and then ignore them? That's not cool."

Zhang Dabiao instantly bristled: "Damn! I told you not to mention that woman, don't lump me with Shen Xuanyi, do you guys not understand? Anyway, whoever likes that woman can go for her, but this girl, I've set my eyes on!"

"Don't be too sure, she doesn't seem easy to pursue!"

"Hmph! What do you know? I've already gotten the first-hand information. Her name is Su Qinghe, she's in the Pediatrics of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and that figure, those legs, just one look makes one's heart race!"

Clicking his tongue!

Li Chuan couldn't help but be impressed with Zhang Dabiao; in just half a day, he had already found out so much about her.

Quite impressive.

Wang Jun squinted at her for a moment, sharing the same admiration as Li Chuan: "This girl looks really like that movie star! What's her name again?"

"Ni Ni!"

Zhang Dabiao laughed, "I noticed yesterday! You two straight guys still want to compete with me, Zhang Dabiao? Dream on!"

"Speaking of chasing girls, I'm the master! You should just go to sleep!"

Li Chuan: "..."

Wang Jun: "..."

They really couldn't argue against that, because only Zhang Dabiao had successfully pursued the class belle and had even taken her to a hotel.

However, Li Chuan did find this Su Qinghe quite intriguing.

In reality, if compared, Su Qinghe couldn't really compete with Song Hanzhang or Zhao Qingyao; the latter two were truly top-notch goddesses, while Su Qinghe merely resembled Ni Ni.

Nevertheless, Li Chuan couldn't help but admire Zhang Dabiao's keen eye; he had immediately spotted a gem among so many new students.

It seemed that the boring and monotonous military training would become more enjoyable because of these beautiful girls.

Soon, a group of instructors arrived.

Behind the instructors, there was an old man with white hair, surrounded respectfully by the vice dean and several middle-aged men.

It was clear just by looking that the old man's status wasn't ordinary.

Amid the murmuring of the crowd, Li Chuan found out that this old man seemed to be a big shot in the military, and he had brought these instructors here.

His visit was due to his friendship with the dean of the Chinese medicine academy, and he came to say a few words to encourage the new students.

However, halfway through his speech, the old man suddenly fainted and was hurriedly taken to the infirmary by the teachers.

This sudden event caused chaos on the playground.

Being part of the medical college, there was no shortage of doctors. The school even had a specialized emergency room.

Seizing this chaotic moment, Li Chuan crossed the playground and found Li Yong: "Bro, what's going on?"

Li Yong was uncertain: "Old Master Liu suddenly had a brain hemorrhage. Chuan, you came just in time, come with me to take a look."

As they spoke, Li Chuan noticed Su Qinghe also followed them, alongside several other students.

But Li Chuan didn't pay much attention. With Li Yong as his brother, maybe others had relatives at the school too?

Soon, they reached the hallway outside the emergency room. Li Chuan saw the academy's dean and vice dean accompanying a middle-aged man anxiously. The middle-aged man looked about forty, exuding an authoritative presence.

Li Chuan didn't know this man, but Li Yong did. This man was Liu Zhenmin, the city party secretary of Jiangzhou City!

Next to Liu Zhenmin was a young girl, who also appeared anxious, glancing toward the emergency room from time to time.

The girl bore a resemblance to Liu Zhenmin, perhaps she was his daughter?

"Dean, what's going on?" Li Yong stepped forward to ask.

"Old Master Liu had a sudden brain hemorrhage, and in this situation, a craniotomy is needed, but the old man is too old, and the risk is high. The only option is to transfer him to the city's First Hospital, but there's not enough time!" the dean quickly explained, "Any ideas on how to revive the old man without surgery?"

The room fell silent.

Traditional Chinese medicine requires a gradual approach. To address acute illnesses like this, surgery is usually needed.

If the patient can't endure the procedure, there's truly no solution.

"Hmph! My father came specially to give a speech at your school, and now that something happened, you have no solutions whatsoever! And this is a School of Traditional Chinese Medicine! It's a disgrace! Are all of you in traditional medicine useless?" Liu Zhenmin's face darkened.

"No matter what, you must make my father wake up, even if just for a few minutes!"

Actually, Liu Zhenmin understood his father's condition. The old man had undergone surgery before due to a bullet in his brain, and now couldn't withstand any more trauma.

The dean looked helpless: "Secretary Liu, we really have no way with the old man's condition. In such situations, surgery is best, but his body really can't take it now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenmin felt hopeless.

He simply wished to have a couple more words with his father, but even this humble desire seemed beyond reach.

At this point, Li Chuan couldn't help but say, "Dean, I can save the old man."
