Chapter 329: Saving People

Translator: _Min_ |

Song Ling struggled to open his eyes, only managing to catch a hazy glimpse of a figure, a woman’s silhouette that stirred a sense of familiarity in him.

In that moment, it was as if he saw the legendary doctor who had once saved him.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Song Ling tried to open his eyes wider to clearly see the face of this miraculous healer, but the heaviness of slumber overcame him once more, and he fell back into unconsciousness.

Gu Dai, unaware of Song Ling’s changing expressions, had examined him and, finding no internal injuries, only superficial wounds, withdrew her gaze.

Turning her attention to Su Ting, she picked up the iodine from the table and began treating the wounds on his back.

Su Ting’s eyes fluttered open weakly as he called out feebly, “Sis… sis…”

Gu Dai, relieved to see Su Ting awake, inquired, “Do you feel discomfort anywhere?”

Shaking his head, Su Ting replied, “I’m fine, just some scratches.”

He had used his back to shield Gu Dai from falling debris, bearing the brunt of the impact himself.

At that moment, voices echoed from outside the door.

“There are too many injured, we’re short on hands. Contact the doctors on leave and ask them to come in immediately!”

“Director, I’ve called back everyone I could, but the chief physician is on a trip to…”

Gu Dai stepped out and offered calmly, “Let me help.”

The hospital director and the doctors looked at her with a mix of surprise and skepticism.

Gu Dai nodded, her voice steady, “If you’re doubtful, test me with some medical questions. I can perform surgeries while you observe.”

One of the doctors, upon hearing Gu Dai’s offer, couldn’t help but protest, “This is a crisis! Your behavior is reckless!”

But the director saw things differently. Looking at Gu Dai, he asked after a few seconds, “Are you the one who predicted the earthquake and advised the villagers of Xiuyang to evacuate?”

Confused as to why the director was asking this, Gu Dai simply replied, “Yes.”

Impressed, the director, and even the initially skeptical doctors, began to view her differently.

After all, thanks to her, the villagers of Xiuyang had suffered only minor injuries in the earthquake.

The director rapidly fired a series of important questions at Gu Dai, to which she responded not just correctly, but impressively so.

The doctors, forgetting the director’s presence, urged her, “Let’s go, we need to save lives!”

Seeing Gu Dai preparing to leave, Su Ting also got out of bed to follow.

Gu Dai objected, “You’re injured, you should rest.”

Su Ting shook his head with a smile, “It’s just a scratch. I may not know medicine, but I can help carry things, fetch water.”

Nodding, Gu Dai advised, “Take care of yourself, and speak up if you feel unwell.”

Zhao Xuan, just returning to the hospital, saw Gu Dai and Su Ting hurrying away. He instinctively called out, “Miss Gu Dai.”

Gu Dai responded, “Please tell Song Ling I’m grateful when he wakes up. There’s medicine on the table for him.”

With these words, she briskly walked away.

Following the doctor into the operating room, Gu Dai encountered skepticism from all but the few who had witnessed her capabilities. Undeterred by the doubts of others, she remained focused on the surgeries at hand.

One operation led to another, and Gu Dai tirelessly performed four to five surgeries in succession. It was only after the arrival of the rescue medical team that she finally paused for a brief rest.

Su Ting had been waiting at the door. As soon as he saw Gu Dai emerge, he hurriedly offered her water and began to massage her weary shoulders.

“Sis, Master Zhen Chan wishes to see you. She’s waiting for you at the hotel,” Su Ting informed her.

Gu Dai rose and headed towards the hotel, questioning, “Why didn’t you tell Master Zhen Chan to rest first? Whatever she wants to discuss can surely wait until tomorrow.”

Su Ting replied helplessly, “No matter how much I persuaded her, Master Zhen Chan insisted on waiting for you.”

Arriving swiftly at the hotel, Gu Dai saw Zhen Chan and immediately inquired, “Master Zhen Chan, what brings you to me?”

Zhen Chan, looking down, said, “Mianmian showed me your company’s plan for Suzhou embroidery.”

Gu Dai’s expression tensed, and she spoke earnestly, “Master Zhen Chan, I am serious about Suzhou embroidery. I’m no fraud. If you find any fault in my plan, I am willing to make adjustments.”

“There’s no need for changes,” Zhen Chan reassured. “Your plan is excellent. I believe under your guidance, Suzhou embroidery will flourish..”
