After being separated from my family, I became a darling of the military region thanks to my medical

Xiao Wang's strong and resonant voice still echoed in the dilapidated courtyard.

The four words "human life is of paramount importance" are like four towering mountains, making the air feel heavy and stagnant.

Ye Guoliang and Li Cuifang were completely stunned, their mouths agape, their minds blank. Their daughter, the pampered girl they thought only knew how to study and couldn't lift a finger, had not only become a life-saving hero, but was now being invited by the army... to be a doctor?

This is a scene I never dared to dream of.

Village Chief Wang Laocai, standing nearby, nearly dropped his jaw. His shrewd little eyes were fixed on Ye Zhen, as if he were seeing her for the first time. "Assign her technical support?" He didn't understand the term, but he knew it was more prestigious than a promotion!

Oh no, I've completely offended them now. A cold sweat instantly broke out on Old Wang's back.

Just when everyone thought Ye Zhen would be flattered and gratefully agree, she simply stood quietly, her cold eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

She looked up at Xiao Wang and asked a question that no one had expected.

"If I leave, what will happen to my brother?"

Her voice was calm, without excitement or hesitation, as if she were discussing a very ordinary work handover.

Xiao Wang was startled and subconsciously followed her gaze to the east room. In the dim light, the simple IV drip was still dripping slowly. He suddenly realized that Dr. Ye's older brother was still undergoing treatment!

"This..." Xiao Wang panicked immediately. If he couldn't get this expert back, the director would skin him alive!

"Dr. Ye, don't worry!" he immediately assured him, "Our military will cover all of your brother's follow-up treatment! I'll contact the county hospital right away to arrange the best ward and the best medication! All expenses will be covered by our military region!"

Upon hearing this promise, Ye Guoliang and Li Cuifang almost knelt down before Xiao Wang.

"No! No, comrades of the People's Liberation Army! How could I possibly accept this..." Li Cuifang stammered, wringing her hands in agitation. Get into the county hospital? Stay in the best ward? This was something her family couldn't afford even if they sold everything they owned!

Ye Zhen remained calm and continued, "His current condition is not suitable for long-distance travel. You need to send a vehicle to take him directly and safely to a hospital bed in the county hospital. In addition, he needs 24-hour care and nutritious meals."

She wasn't discussing things; she was giving medical orders.

That calm and unquestionable professional attitude made Xiao Wang even more certain that this was definitely a top-notch doctor!

"No problem!" Xiao Wang agreed faster than anyone else. He straightened his chest and said loudly, "We'll send a military vehicle to pick you up! We guarantee it'll be fast and safe! We'll coordinate with the hospital to arrange nursing care and nutritional meals! Dr. Ye, as long as you're willing to go, none of this will be a problem!"

"it is good."

Ye Zhen finally nodded and uttered a single word.

She turned to her parents, who were still in shock, and said, "Dad, Mom, pack your things and come with us to the county to take care of my older brother. Here's the money and tickets, take them."

She stuffed the wad of bills into Li Cuifang's hand, leaving only a few coins.

Li Cuifang held the thick stack of papers, feeling as if she were holding a ball of fire; her hands were trembling.

"Zhenzhen...you..."

"I'm fine." Ye Zhen interrupted her, glancing at Village Chief Wang Laocai, whose face was changing and who looked as embarrassed as a quail. Her tone was indifferent. "There's no good place to stay here anymore."

Old Wang jolted awake, then his face immediately broke into a wide, beaming smile. He bowed deeply and leaned forward, saying, "Oh dear, Ye Zhen… no, Dr. Ye! Look at me… it was all a misunderstanding! How was I supposed to know you were a great hero who made contributions to the country?! Don't worry, I guarantee I'll take good care of your house! Anyone who dares to touch a single blade of grass, I'll make them pay!"

Ye Zhen didn't even bother to glance at him, and went straight into the house to start packing her things.

There's really not much to tidy up.

A few old clothes to change into.

When she finished packing and came out, Xiao Wang had already contacted the troops using the village committee's phone, which was extremely efficient.

"Dr. Ye, the car is on its way and will be there in half an hour!"

Half an hour later, a blinding beam of headlights pierced the night sky over Heishan Village. A green military jeep came to a steady stop in front of the Ye family's courtyard amidst the astonished craning of the villagers.

This commotion is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

The villagers were talking amongst themselves, their eyes filled with envy and incomprehension as they looked at the soldiers getting out of the car and then at Ye Zhen's family, who were surrounded by admirers.

"Isn't that the girl from the Ye family who was just sent back from the city? Why did the army have to be called in?"

"You didn't know? I heard she saved a high-ranking official in the mountains! Now the army wants to recruit her as a top doctor!"

"My God! Did the Ye family's ancestral graves emit auspicious smoke?"

Amidst these whispers, Ye Guoliang and Li Cuifang, feeling dizzy, carefully lifted Ye Cheng onto another waiting truck with the help of the soldiers.

Old Wang followed closely behind, sweating profusely, helping to lift the carriage curtain and handing out water, as attentive as a long-term servant of the Ye family.

Ye Zhen, carrying her small bundle, walked expressionlessly towards the jeep.

"Dr. Ye! Slow down!" Old Wang came running over, trying to open the car door for her, his fawning smile almost overflowing. "From now on, you'll be the pride of our Black Mountain Village! Don't worry, I'll go to the commune tomorrow to apply for an honorary banner for you..."

Ye Zhen didn't stop walking, nor did she even glance at him. She went straight to the other car door that Xiao Wang had opened and got into the car.

With a "bang," the car door slammed shut, shutting out all the noise and praise behind them.

Old Wang's outstretched hand awkwardly froze in mid-air.

The jeep slowly started and drove away from the poor and dilapidated little mountain village.

Outside the car window, the figures of my parents and the villagers grew farther and farther away, eventually disappearing into the night. Inside the car, it was quiet, with only the slight hum of the engine.

Ye Zhen leaned back in her chair, watching the darkness rushing past the window. The cool moonlight shone on her face, making her eyes appear exceptionally deep.

She wasn't there to accept the honor.

She went to reclaim everything that belonged to her.

The military hospital was the Lin family's stronghold.

She's back.
