Chapter 289 Poisoning
Luo Zheng's hand, bearing the scars, trembled slightly. He had finally had a son when he was fifty years old. His son had just joined the legion and was given an important mission. He was both happy and worried, but in the end, he suppressed his worries and sent his son to the Allied countries.
But who knew that this departure would last for two years without any news, and when he finally returned, he was on the verge of death.
Luo Zheng had no other choice but to come to his door. For the sake of his only son, he was willing to risk his reputation to fight for a chance of survival.
"I can't go to the medical department, so I have to swallow my pride and beg the military doctor here at the Marshal's place," Luo Zheng pleaded.
"Uncle Luo, you flatter me. I will not shirk my responsibility when Hongyuan is in trouble. Without further ado, I will make the arrangements immediately." Yan San stood up and nodded to Luo Zheng, who was full of gratitude.
He was about to contact the army doctor in the legion, but then he changed his mind and went back to his room floor, gently knocking on Xi Yu's door.
After a short while, the door opened, and Xi Yu's lively face appeared.
"Is something the matter?" Xi Yu raised an eyebrow. Yan San had just been urgently called out, and now he was back to find her. It must be something urgent.
Yan San nodded and told her about Luo Zheng and Luo Hongyuan.
Xi Yu was slightly taken aback. She wasn't a doctor, at most a pharmacist, but Yan San had abandoned the military doctor in the army to come to her.
"The fewer people in the military know about Hongyuan's affairs, the better, and I trust you," Yan San slowly explained to her.
Yan San's words, "I believe you," made Xi Yu pause in her heart. She looked up and examined Yan San for a long time before saying, "I don't have any medicine on hand, but I can check on the injured first."
"No problem." Yan San couldn't help but smile.
Because it was a secret trip, Yan San only left a message for Fu Baili and took only Xi Yu with him as they headed to Luo Zheng's villa in the suburbs.
On the way, Luo stared at Xi Yu for a long time. He never expected that such a young girl was a military doctor, and he had never seen her before. He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Uncle Luo, please rest assured, she is someone I can trust with my life." Yan San knew exactly what Luo Zheng was thinking, so he explained before he even asked.
With Yan San's assurance, Luo Zheng finally felt somewhat relieved.
The car stopped outside, and Luo Zheng eagerly led Yan San and Xi Yu into the house. The location of this villa was very well chosen, right on the edge of a cliff, giving it a unique sense of desolation.
Luo Zheng pushed open the door and said to Yan San, "Hongyuan is inside."
Xi Yu also looked over and saw a gaunt man lying on the bed in the room. He was emaciated, with sunken cheeks, a bloodless face that was also faintly black, and most of his hair had fallen out, making him look like a skeleton with skin.
Beside Luo Hongyuan was a woman secretly wiping away tears. When she saw Luo Zheng and Yan San, she felt as if she had seen her pillar of support and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Auntie, there's no need for such formalities. Let's take a look at Hongyuan first," Yan San waved his hand.
Xi Yu nodded to him, walked to the bedside, and took Luo Hongyuan's thin, bony wrist to examine it, as if she were taking his pulse.
She doesn't actually know how to take a pulse or diagnose illnesses, but she can see through every blood vessel in a person's body with her spiritual insight, which is more effective than the most advanced medical instruments. She can tell where there is any abnormality at a glance.
She stared at it for a long time before putting Luo Hongyuan's hand back in its place.
"H-How is it?" Luo Zheng felt his heart pounding.
Xi Yu turned to look at him and said, word by word, "He has been poisoned. If he is not cured soon, he will surely die within three days."
