He was a disabled military officer who doted on his research work in the Northwest.

Bai Wei stormed into the old director's office without even knocking, shouting indignantly, "Dr. Chen has seriously violated medical regulations! He actually allowed a country woman with no medical qualifications and who hasn't even attended medical school to officially participate in Commander Mu's rehabilitation treatment! What if she damages the commander's leg? Who will take responsibility? She'll ruin the reputation of our entire hospital!"

The old dean was looking at documents when she startled him, his brows furrowing immediately: "Is that so?"

Commander Mu's injury was something the superiors had repeatedly instructed them to take special care of. Doctor Chen was always so steady, how could he make such a basic mistake?

"Absolutely true!" Bai Wei twisted the facts, speaking with conviction. "That woman is just trying to climb the social ladder, constantly finding ways to get close to the regimental commander. Doctor Chen is definitely being deceived by her! Dean, think about it, if a medical accident happens and the higher-ups investigate, who in our hospital can bear the responsibility?"

"Go and call Dr. Chen over." The old hospital director's face darkened.

A few minutes later, Dr. Chen entered the office, completely bewildered. Upon hearing Bai Wei's report, he was so angry that he burst out laughing on the spot.

"Dean, you're aware of Commander Mu's condition," Dr. Chen argued. "His leg nerve damage has caused continuous muscle atrophy, and our physiotherapy equipment has limited effectiveness. But Comrade Shen understands authentic traditional Chinese medicine acupressure, his acupoint selection is precise, and his technique is professional. After less than a week of assisted massage, the commander's muscle elasticity has recovered by 20%! I've never seen such an effect in my twenty years of medical practice!"

He turned to look at Bai Wei, his tone rude: "Besides, she's providing routine massages as a family member, not practicing medicine independently and writing prescriptions. What does that have to do with violating regulations? Nurse Bai, if you don't understand traditional Chinese medicine, don't spout nonsense and drag the hospital into this all the time!"

"What traditional Chinese medicine! That's just feudal superstition!" Bai Wei shrieked, her neck stiff. "What does a country bumpkin like her know—"

"Bang!"

Just as the two were facing off, the door to the dean's office was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

The head nurse stormed in, drenched in sweat and with a livid face, clutching an IV drip bottle. Pointing at Bai Wei, she yelled, "Bai Wei! What are you doing here?! You've been completely out of your mind these past few days, neglecting your own patients, haven't you?!"

Bai Wei was stunned: "Head Nurse, I didn't...!"

"How dare you say that!" The head nurse trembled with anger, slamming the IV bottle on the table. "The patient in bed number three is diabetic, and the doctor's orders clearly state that he needs saline solution! And you, so careless, gave him hypertonic glucose! If the family hadn't noticed the patient was sweating profusely and convulsing and called the doctor, he would have died today!"

"I...I...I didn't do it...it was the intern..." Bai Wei's face was pale, and her lips trembled as she tried to explain.

"Bullshit! You're pushing everything onto the interns!" The head nurse slammed the complaint letter from the patient's family in front of her. "It's in black and white! The patient's family saw you change the bottle! They're waiting in the hospital office right now demanding an explanation! Look at it yourself!"

Upon hearing about this serious medical malpractice, the old hospital director slammed his fist on the table in anger, pointing at Bai Wei and roaring, "Outrageous! Utterly outrageous! You yourself are a complete mess in your work, treating human life like dirt, and you still have the nerve to come and report others?"

Bai Wei's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground with a thud, crying and grabbing at the dean's sleeve: "Dean...Dean, I was wrong! I really didn't mean to! Please, for my uncle's sake..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old dean flung his sleeve away forcefully.

"Your uncle? Your uncle introduced you here, and I gave you face by letting you get into the hospital. But look at the mess you've made!" The old director was furious, his face turning pale. "From today onwards, write a self-criticism! A hospital-wide reprimand! Three months' bonus deducted! And if it happens again—immediate suspension!"

The head nurse rolled her eyes, grabbed the limp Bai Wei from the ground like a chick, and dragged her out of the office.

In the corridor, many patients' family members and medical staff witnessed this scene and pointed and whispered among themselves.

"Is that her? The one who almost killed someone?"

"He doesn't do anything productive all day, just keeps an eye on Commander Mu's group, neglecting his own patients."

"Serves her right. Let's see if she dares to do it again."

"Exactly, she even reported others. If it weren't for her connections, she would have been fired long ago."

Bai Wei was dragged down the corridor, the whispers piercing her ears like needles. She gritted her teeth in hatred, her nails digging deep into her palms—

Doctor Chen! It must be Doctor Chen deliberately taking sides! He knows perfectly well that he often goes to the second floor to change water and deliver medicine to Commander Mu, and he has never said anything. Now, in order to protect that country bumpkin, he is deliberately putting him down in front of the hospital director!

And Shen Tang too! If that bitch hadn't been hanging around Commander Mu all the time, how could I have been distracted? How could I have grabbed the wrong IV bag? It's all her fault!

Bai Wei gritted her teeth and memorized the names of Shen Tang and Doctor Chen in her heart.

In the ward, Shen Tang had just finished massaging the last set of acupoints for Mu Qinghan.

The faint sounds of commotion drifted in from the hallway outside. A slight smile played on her lips as she slowly dried her hands with a towel, saying, "It seems some people can't even do their own jobs properly, yet they have the time to meddle in other people's business."

Looking at her seemingly calm but actually suppressing laughter, Mu Qinghan's deep black eyes unexpectedly revealed a faint smile.

"You're not afraid of offending people," he said in a low voice, his tone neither praising nor sighing.

"Offended?" Shen Tang folded the towel and put it back, turning to look at him with a smile. "Commander Mu, what do I, a homeless country girl, have to be afraid of?"

As she spoke, she smiled slyly yet frankly.

Mu Qinghan's gaze fell on her bright eyes. He remained silent for a moment before finally looking away and saying calmly, "The porridge is good. Let's try something different tomorrow."

"Yes, Commander Mu." Shen Tang smiled as she packed up her lunchbox and left the ward with light steps.

That evening, Chen Zhiyuan returned home and excitedly started talking to Liu Fang as soon as he entered the door.

"Fang'er! Great news today!" He exclaimed excitedly as he changed his shoes. "Dr. Chen said during rounds that the regimental commander's leg is recovering exceptionally well! The muscle elasticity is 20% better than last week! It's all thanks to the massage your wife gives him every day—it really works!"

Liu Fang was sewing shoe soles under the lamp when she heard this and paused in her needlework.

"Really? That's wonderful." She looked up, giving a gentle smile. "Your sister-in-law is truly capable."

"That's right!" Chen Zhiyuan sat down excitedly, poured himself a glass of water, and took a big gulp. "Even Dr. Chen said that Sister-in-law's massage should be officially included in the regimental commander's rehabilitation program! At this rate of recovery, the regimental commander might really be able to stand up again! Then there'll be hope for Fufei!"

Resumption of flights.

These two words pierced Liu Fang's heart like a needle.
