Inside the hospital, perhaps because it was nighttime, there weren't many people. The nurses were either sitting there dozing off or chatting quietly.

"Oh, Dr. Wang, what brings you here?"

A nurse exclaimed in surprise as Zhang Tianhao walked in.

"I brought you some boxed meals because I saw you were working hard. After all, we're leaving tomorrow, and the food at home has been sitting for a while and might spoil."

"Oh, I see!"

The nurses chuckled and immediately accepted the lunchboxes, thanking them profusely.

"By the way, is Sun Xiaolan here?"

"You mean Nurse Sun? She went to the gynecology department and started working there. She should be on duty today, we didn't see her leave."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Tianhao also took out two lunch boxes and handed them to the two nurses, while he carried the remaining two lunch boxes and headed straight for the gynecology department.

He spoke as he walked toward the gynecology department.

When he returned home again, it was already past 10 p.m., and he saw that Sun Xiaolan had been assigned to the gynecology department and was working with Dr. Gu.

Since nothing was wrong, he felt relieved and returned home.

Seeing that the rice in the pot was cooked perfectly, he felt relieved, then walked to the side, picked up the vegetables, and continued cooking.

As the time slowly approached three in the morning, he finally looked at the hundreds of food items in the space and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he sat down on the stone table and began to practice his internal energy.

The fourth level of spiritual cultivation, or the Transformation of Strength, only requires stillness, unlike the previous levels which all required movement. Furthermore, all spiritual cultivation is stillness.

……

The next day, Zhang Tianhao opened his eyes slightly and smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen. He was taken aback, since there should be no one in the kitchen at this time.

Looking up, I saw Sun Xiaolan cooking in the kitchen; she must have just finished her night shift.

"Xiao Lan, when did you get back?"

“Around six o’clock, weren’t you supposed to be taking the boat around eight o’clock? So I came back early to prepare breakfast for you, and made some dumplings. I hope you have a safe journey.”

As Sun Xiaolan spoke, she brought out a plate of dumplings.

"Dr. Wang, have some dumplings. You'll be leaving soon, or you might be late."

That's true, after all, being late at this time wouldn't be a good thing for him.

"Ok!"

Zhang Tianhao glanced at Sun Xiaolan, let out a sigh of relief, and went to the pool to start washing up.

A few minutes later, he finished washing up, went straight to the table, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

"By the way, Xiaolan, now that you've been transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department, are you adapting well?"

"No problem, I can adapt. Dr. Gu will take care of me."

"That's good. By the way, if there's anything else you don't understand, you can ask Head Nurse Zhou."

He was quite satisfied when he heard this, since the matter was resolved and Sun Xiaolan's whereabouts had been taken care of.

"By the way, Xiaolan, the church hospital might not be open for much longer. It might close down in half a month at most. You should be careful."

"The hospital is closing down? What's going on? I've never heard of this before?"

Sun Xiaolan was also taken aback, looking at Zhang Tianhao with some confusion, as this matter was truly unexpected. "The hospital is out of medicine. John's supply won't last more than a few days, and the remaining medicine may only last for half a month, or even less!"

"Sigh, I never expected it to turn out like this. How am I supposed to live from now on?"

Sun Xiaolan did not expect things to turn out this way.

"By the way, my life might not be easy from now on, since jobs are hard to find, really!"

“I know, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Just wait for me to come back at home. I left you five bags of rice in the basement, about 300 pounds, which should be enough for you to eat for half a year.”

"Also, your own money should last a while, right? I've left you enough money on the table. Spend it all on necessities, and keep a little for household expenses."

"I know."

"Aren't you going for a month?"

"Who knows how long I'll stay? They say a month, but whether the Japanese will let me leave is still uncertain."

"Sigh, the journey alone could take half a month, and that's not even certain!"

Sun Xiaolan understood that traveling from Shanghai to Dalian by boat alone would take three to five days, and there was no guarantee of arrival. Moreover, the journey from Dalian to Xinjing was even longer.

"Dr. Wang, do you mean the Japanese might not let you leave?"

"Yes, that's a possibility, but there's nothing the Japanese can do if they don't let me go. If I want to leave, they can't stop me."

"Dr. Wang, can we not go?"

"It's no use. It's not a matter of whether I want to go or not, but I have to go there too. Things over there haven't been settled yet. As for things in Shanghai, let Lao Zhou and Lao Li make the decisions for now!"

"If someone from Lao Zhou's side passes on a message to me, hold it back for now. Tell me when I get back, understand? I've already explained it to all parties."

"Understood. Is there anything else?"

"That's all. Just take care of yourself!"

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have had such an easy time? Really, I've had such a comfortable few months."

"It's alright, I'm happy as long as you're okay!"

"Ok!"

……

At the Yangtze River dock, Zhang Tianhao, carrying a suitcase and wearing a trench coat, stood behind a group of doctors. Looking at the group of doctors in front of him, who were also well-known in Shanghai, he took a deep breath.

"Dr. Wang, you've arrived!"

"Yes, Dr. Luo, I didn't expect you to be among the invitees. I wonder what you'll gain from this exchange trip to Xinjing?"

"Who knows? But I think there will definitely be some gains. However, it will take too long; the round trip will take more than half a month!"

Dr. Luo sighed as well, knowing that this time, he really didn't know when he would be able to return. By then, it might be too late.

"It's alright, it's probably just a normal medical exchange. I remember we had a similar medical exchange in Tianjin before!"

"Hmm, but it seems like it's been several years. There hasn't been a medical exchange for several years. I wonder what the purpose of this one is."

"Dr. Wang, your medical skills are quite high. I hope you can take care of me then."

"Don't even mention it. We're communicating on someone else's turf, using only about 50% of our strength at most. After all, we're just ordinary people. I think Dr. Luo understands what I mean!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Luo also looked Zhang Tianhao up and down, clearly not expecting him to say that. He then nodded slightly. (End of Chapter)
