731 Double Bed (2/2)
”You'll get the chance to meet him.” Doctor Zhou did not dare to make any hasty promises. He then asked, ”How did you know about Doctor Ling?”
”I watched a video where he was operating.” Lloyd gestured with his hands and said, ”From Yunli Medical Company.”
Doctor Zhou was astonished. ”So, you're here because of Doctor Ling's skills? What do you think about him?”
”Amazing!” Lloyd raised his voice to emphasize how amazed he was.
Doctor Zhou chuckled a few times and reminded himself once again that he must watch his words.
Soon, they arrived at Boss Shao's restaurant.
Boss Shao, who had just undergone a full set of tests when he sought consultation from Ling Ran, looked healthy. He deliberately walked out from behind a barbeque stand and greeted Doctor Zhou. He then said in fluent English to Lloyd and the other foreigners, ”Welcome.”
”Boss Shao, it's your chance to bring glory to the country,” Doctor Zhou said with a smile, ”I won't be ordering. Just serve us whatever you find appropriate.”
”Certainly.” Boss Shao did not bother putting on a polite front. He sized the three foreigners up and asked in English, ”Is there anything you guys don't eat?”
”Dog meat.”
”Cat meat.”
”Internal organs.”
Lloyd and his companions rushed to say.
Boss Shao nodded and noted what they said down on his notepad. He then said, ”I'll serve a bamboo rat that we reared alongside some barbequed beef, then. They should be used to this, so the probability of the food causing diarrhea will be low. I'll serve some lamb chop too, as they might injure themselves with the toothpicks used in lamb skewers. Do you want some porridge? To warm up their stomachs or something as the food might heat up their body and cause nose bleeding. Do you want some beer?”
”Just give us whatever you find appropriate.” Doctor Zhou observed his surroundings.
Boss Shao nodded and went to make preparations like it was the most natural thing in the world to do.
Soon, the beef was served. Lloyd and his companions gave a thumbs up in satisfaction, and nothing strange happened.
Next, the lamb chop was served. Lloyd and his companions gave a thumbs up in satisfaction, and nothing strange happened...
Lastly, the bamboo rat was served. Lloyd and his companions found the dish a little strange, but still, nothing strange happened...
”Alright, the day went quite smoothly. It's pretty good.” Doctor Zhou rose and paid. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Lloyd and his companions did not sense anything strange. After they had some beer, all their muscles were relaxed. They exited the restaurant along with Doctor Zhou with smiles on their faces.
Bowman, whose belly was full of beef and who had drunk some beer, waved his large and muscular hands as he asked with a smile, ”Doctor Zhou, you mentioned that you have watched a video of me operating before. Where did you see the video?”
”Some video streaming website.”
”Ah, if you're interested, we can operate on a patient together. It should be more fun to watch me live.” As Bowman spoke, he turned to look at Doctor Zhou and flashed a toothy smile. ”My skills should be pretty…”
”Watch out!” Doctor Zhou yelled, and could only watch as Bowman slipped at the sidewalk.
The tall and burly Bowman kneeled on the floor along with Doctor Zhou's scream.
He kneeled on one knee!
The surroundings were too noisy, and Doctor Zhou could not hear the sound Bowman made as he fell. So, Doctor Zhou had no choice but to imagine the sound effects. *Plop! Crack!*
”Boss Shao?” Doctor Zhou called out loudly.
Boss Shao quickly craned his head out. He merely took one glance at Bowman before he asked, ”Can he walk?”
”Probably not.” Doctor Zhou saw the grimace on Bowman's face and reckoned that he was quite badly injured.
”Got it,” Boss Shao said. Within half a minute, he reappeared with a large first-aid box.
Doctor Zhou quickly took off his coat and helped out. The doctor worked together to secure Bowman's knee. They then saw that a Wuling Formo had stopped beside them without making a sound.
When Doctor Zhou opened the back door, he saw the seats had disappeared. Instead, there was a sturdy-looking emergency hospital bed in their place. A double hospital bed!
