Chapter 92

Xia Zhi looked over upon hearing this, and then nodded.

The man looked at her in surprise. "You're Xia Zhi, the border guard who's caught criminals so many times! Hahaha, I never expected to see you here today."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of admiration, not expecting that she was not only highly skilled in medicine but also quite capable.

Shen Taishan frowned slightly. Xia Zhi, no wonder the name sounded familiar. It turned out she was the heroine in the newspaper. In an instant, the resentment he felt towards her because of Lu Beiting lessened considerably.

Xia Zhi was surrounded by a group of people talking all at once, and she couldn't turn back even if she wanted to. In the end, it was Shen Hangzhi who told her that Shen Changming had woken up and wanted to see her, which finally rescued her from the crowd.

Hospital director Lin Jiasheng looked at her hesitantly, but finally jogged after her.

"Dr. Xia, there's an academic seminar in a few days. I wonder if Miss Xia could do me the honor of giving a presentation to everyone?" Lin Jiasheng, who looked to be in his forties, looked at her with a thirst for knowledge in his eyes.

"That's right, Dr. Xia. Just say a few words then, and we'll discuss it. It won't take up too much of your time."

The people behind them also looked at them with longing, and they were quite curious about how she had completed the surgery.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hangzhi thought for a while, only to find that he was too nervous to understand how she had accomplished it.

"Okay, sure, that's fine." Xia Zhi nodded with a smile.

Lin Jiasheng finally breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Dr. Xia was easier to talk to than he had imagined.

Xia Zhi arrived at the ward. Shen Changming opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling. The anesthesia in his body had not completely worn off.

When Yu Qing saw her arrive, she quickly got up from her stool. "Xia, look what's going on. It looks really worrying."

"Don't worry, Aunt Yu, the medicine is just working out. It will be fine in a bit. Let Grandpa Shen rest a little longer."

Yu Qing nodded quietly after listening, looking at Shen Changming on the bed, feeling happy.

"Okay, then we'll head out first. Let me know if anything comes up." Xia Zhi checked everything and walked outside.

She sat down to rest, afraid that if she went over there, she would be pulled aside by a group of people and chatted with.

"Should I take you home first?" Shen Hangzhi closed the door and asked Xia Zhi, who looked exhausted, with a considerate expression.

Xia Zhi shook her head and turned to look at him. "By the way, Brother Shen, do you know where the auction house is here?"

"Do you want to buy something from the auction?" Shen Hangzhi sat down on the other side.

Xia Zhi nodded, "Yes, I picked up some Ganoderma lucidum, thinking that the price was too high in the city."

Shen Hangzhi nodded, then, as if remembering something, looked up at her and asked, "May I take a look?"

Xia Zhi pursed her lips and moved closer to him. "Ahem, Brother Shen, if you want, I have plenty more."

Auctions can drive up prices. She knew the Shen family was wealthy, but out of consideration for their relationship, she couldn't bear to overcharge them.

Shen Hangzhi was puzzled for a few seconds, then understood, "Then thank you."

"No need for thanks. We're all in the same unit, so helping each other is only natural. By the way, Brother Shen, I'll prescribe some medicine for Grandpa Shen later, so please remember to make sure he takes it on time."

As for dietary restrictions, Grandpa Shen takes good care of his health, so he can eat as usual.

Shen Hangzhi nodded in agreement, while Yu Qing, listening to their conversation, felt a sense of relief.

They used to worry that Hangzhi would not adapt well to the harsh conditions of border defense and might even be in danger at any time.

But now she's quite glad that her son has met a group of very good people.

After seeing off the visitors, Shen Taishan, exhausted, walked over. Seeing Xia Zhi, he perked up. He had just heard from some of his friends in the military about Xia Zhi's glorious achievements on the border, and he felt even more admiration and shame. It was one thing for Lu Beiting to go to the border, but to take his precious son there—how could he not be anxious? He clearly had better opportunities in the city; if he wanted to go abroad, he could have sent him. Instead, he went to that place.

He resented Lu Beiting for ruining his son's future, so when he learned yesterday that Xia Zhi was Lu Beiting's wife, he immediately lost his temper.

I feel ashamed now.

"Hangzhi, we've got your grandfather's help. Dr. Xia has come all this way, why don't you take her out for a walk?"

"Okay, Dad."

Shen Hangzhi stood up and glanced at her. "Didn't you want to go to the auction? How about I take you there tonight?"

Xia Zhi perked up immediately upon hearing this, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

"Uncle Shen, Aunt Yu, we'll be leaving now."

The two nodded, and after watching Xia Zhi disappear, Yu Qing glanced at Shen Taishan beside her and said, "You, you can be so petty sometimes."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Taishan repeatedly admitted his mistake, saying, "Yes, yes, it was my pettiness."

As soon as they got in the car, Xia Zhi looked at Shen Hangzhi next to her and said, "Brother Shen, let's go back and get our things first."

Shen Hangzhi nodded. After the two returned to the Shen family home, Shen Hangzhi was stunned when he saw her carrying a large bag upstairs and holding a lingzhi mushroom the size of a steering wheel.

Now I understand why she wouldn't sell it to me; selling such a large Ganoderma lucidum to him would be a loss.

The person next to Shen Hangzhi quickly stepped forward and carefully took the things from her hands.

Xia Zhi put down the bag on her back, then took some things out and placed them on the table. "Brother Shen, these are smaller, but the ingredients are quite good. You can keep them for Grandpa Shen to nourish his body. There's also this ginseng and angelica..."

Shen Hangzhi stared in astonishment as she pulled a bunch of things out of her bag in no time.

He... was short-sighted.

Wow, this bag can actually hold so much!

"Ahem, I won't take advantage of you. I'll have someone calculate the market price later." Shen Hangzhi snapped out of his daze and quickly interrupted her offer to give it to him.

"Okay, I'll give you a friendly price when the calculation comes out." Xia Zhi finished packing and was about to carry her bag when Shen Hangzhi reached out and took it from her.

"Give it to me." He took it and handed it to the person next to him.

Looking at the large Ganoderma lucidum that the two men were carrying, they said, "Let's pack it up first before putting it in the car."

"Okay, Master."

"Hehe, thanks."

Xia Zhi sat down and poured herself a glass of water. "By the way, Brother Shen, you absolutely mustn't tell Lu Beiting about this, or he'll start nagging again."

If she said she found such a large Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff edge, that man would never believe her.

Shen Hangzhi nodded. "Okay."

Xia Zhi rested her chin on her hand, a sense of curiosity rising within her. She wondered how much it would sell for—eight thousand? Ten thousand?

hiss……

Xia Zhi turned her gaze to Shen Hangzhi, "Brother Shen, with your experience, how much do you think I can sell this for?"
