Chapter 853 - War correspondent (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu felt the students could not be faulted for the misunderstanding. Judging from the current situation, it really did not look like this was a medical center. After all, no casualties could be seen being treated, so how could this place count as a frontline medical center?

As such, it was normal the students would misunderstand the situation.

Moreover, it was not only the students who got angry; even Ren Xiaosu was infuriated. As he did not see any further wounded soldiers being carried in today, the source of his gratitude tokens was also cut off!

At this moment, only Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were on duty in the office as there were no wounded soldiers to treat. The others had already gone upstairs to the temporary staff room to sleep.

Ren Xiaosu said to the students, “Since y’all’re here to deliver the supplies, you’ll have to wait for the director to come and take them. If you still have any doubts, you can get the director to explain it to you directly.”

After that, Ren Xiaosu closed the office door and went back to reading his newspaper. Just a while ago, he was reading an article about Jiang Xu’s condemnation of the Wang Consortium’s inaction in the war.

“Eh,” Ren Xiaosu asked Yang Xiaojin in a puzzled whisper, “there should be a lot of people from the Qinghe Group that came to the north this time. Look, it was reported in the paper that the people from Hope Media will also be here. They probably came to cover the news as war correspondents. Although a portion of the Luoyang City garrison troops have come as well, I didn’t see any Riders with them just now. Could it be that the Riders have really cut ties with the Qinghe Group?”

“It’s impossible for them to do that.” Yang Xiaojin shook her head and said, “After all, their relationship used to be very close, so how could they cut ties just like that?”

“That’s what I think too.” Ren Xiaosu nodded.

Outside the department office, the students’ indignant voices could be heard as Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin chatted inside like nothing was happening. It was as though the commotion had nothing to do with them.

Seeing that the students outside were close to breaking down the door, Ren Xiaosu frowned and went over to say a few more words to them. Honestly, he felt he could not fault them since they had come such a long way to deliver the supplies. Moreover, they were all here for the purpose of fighting off the barbarian enemies in the North. Therefore, it would be best not to affect their team spirit.

It was not like he was in charge of this medical center anyway, so there was no need for him to care about these matters since he was just a normal cardiac surgeon. However, he wondered where the director had gone.

But as soon as Ren Xiaosu opened the door, he heard someone shout from the other side of the hallway, “Why are you all blocking the Miracle Doctor’s office door?”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he heard that. It was the patients who were chatting and playing cards in their wards who could no longer bear to watch this. They all walked out of their ward to shut down the students’ grousing.

Ren Xiaosu’s reputation in the forward operating base and medical center was no longer something normal doctors could match.

On one hand, Ren Xiaosu’s medicine worked wonders in treating external injuries. On the other hand, Ren Xiaosu’s enthusiasm in shaking hands with the patients touched them deeply.

The patients realized the young doctor really took saving lives to be his duty. As long as they thanked him, the Miracle Doctor would feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking about it, how respectable was a doctor who required payment only in thanks but not money!

So when the patients saw the Miracle Doctor’s door being blocked, they wondered if someone had come here to make trouble for him. As such, they immediately dropped their playing cards and surrounded the “troublemakers.” At this moment, the hallway was packed full of people, and the veterans were ready to start a fight!

A student who seemed to be the leader of the group said in a loud voice, “We kept hearing from others that the battle situation at the front lines was very intense and that there were a lot of casualties. That was why we came to the North bringing medical aid. But it turned out the situation was not as we had imagined. We were deceived!”

“Bullshit.” A Pyro Company soldier who was limping and wrapped in bandages said, “You don’t see anyone wounded around here because the main forces have already headed further north after they were done fighting the barbarians on Mt. Dashi. Since there’s no battles in the vicinity, of course there won’t be any wounded people!”
