Chapter 164: Qin Liang’s Injury

Gu Qi bought the things back very quickly. He picked the best ones. The cake was exquisite and the flowers were full of vitality.

Yan Xi gave them to the neurology staff and nurses to thank them for taking care of Gu Shen.

The staff did not expect to receive flowers and cake from the patient’s family, because most of the time, they would only be blamed.

Some nurses even went up to hug her, thanking her with tears in their eyes.

“Mr. Gu can definitely recover.”

“Thank you.” Yan Xi thanked them one by one, then took the remaining flower and cake to Zhou Xu’s office.

The cake and flowers she gave Zhou Xu were the best. After all, he had been working very hard and was under a lot of stress.

There were not many skilled doctors like Zhou Xu, so Yan Xi did not want to scare him away.

Yan Xi walked to Zhou Xu’s office and knocked a few times. After a moment, Zhou Xu asked her to enter.

“Thank you, Doctor Zhou, you have been helping us a lot.” Yan Xi placed the cake and flowers on the table. “I hope you like the gifts.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Xu nodded, but his brows were tightly furrowed, and his tone was also very heavy.

“Is Doctor Zhou in trouble?”

Zhou Xu did not attempt to keep it from Yan Xi. “Professor Qin Liang just called me. He said that his hands are accidentally injured and can no longer treat Mr. Gu with acupuncture.”

Yan Xi’s expression darkened. “Did he hurt his flesh or bones?”

“It’s a fracture.” Zhou Xu sighed. “It’ll take at least three months to recover.”

Three months was too long, not to mention that the treatment had already begun. The lack of acupuncture treatment would definitely affect the outcome of the treatment.

“Is Professor Qin really injured?” she asked. “Or is he just making up an excuse to leave the team because he doesn’t feel respected here?”

“Professor Qin Liang is not such a person. Although he has his own thoughts, he cares about his reputation and credibility. He won’t leave for no reason.”

Zhou Xu went on explaining, “Moreover, Professor Qin Liang was discussing the treatment results with me a few days ago. He feels that the treatment this time can be very successful. He said he will try his best to treat Mr. Gu and witness the miracle.”

“No matter what, even if professor Qin quit, we can’t stop the acupuncture treatment.” Yan Xi looked at Zhou Xu. “Do you have anyone else who can replace Professor Qin?”

Someone to replace Professor Qin Liang? Zhou Xu could not think of anyone else.

A person popped up in his mind, but the possibility of her coming was very slim.

Zhou Xu thought for a long time but still could not give Yan Xi a good replacement.

“Professor Qin’s acupuncture skills are top-notch in the country. His withdrawal from the team will impact our plan.”

Zhou Xu did not continue, but Yan Xi understood what he meant.

“Do you know Professor Qin Liang’s home address?”

Hearing that, Zhou Xu cleared his throat and carefully reminded her, “Mrs. Gu, there are some things that we can’t do.”

“I’m just planning to pay him a visit.”

Zhou Xu did not dare to give her the address lest Yan Xi did something irreversible. He hesitated for a while and changed the topic.

“Mrs. Gu, actually I still have someone in mind.”

“Who is it?”

“It’s a senior I know in the medical world. Not only is she proficient in acupuncture, but she’s also quite accomplished in neuroscience. She also gave me some suggestions regarding this proposal.”

Yan Xi was silent. She looked at Zhou Xu with a complicated expression, but her expression was interpreted by Zhou Xu as disbelief. He immediately said, “SHe has always been curious about Mr. Gu’s condition. Although I only talked to her via email, I’m very sure that this senior’s skill is above mine.”

Yan Xi fell silent again.

“If we can invite her, our treatment process will definitely be smoother and safer.”

While Yan Xi listened, she felt guilty for keeping Zhou Xu in the dark.
