Chapter 185: Director Li Wants to Become a Disciple?

Jiang Feng looked at the steady‑breathing Lu Xiao on the operating table and withdrew his gaze.

"Her condition is only temporarily under my control; later I'll write a Prescription and brew a Decoction for her to take on schedule, helping repair the damaged Meridians and organs."

He paused briefly and looked at Director Li.

"During this period, don't touch the silver needles on her body; wait until I return for a follow‑up tomorrow, and I'll remove them personally."

"Alright, alright! Divine Doctor Jiang, rest assured, I will definitely comply!"

Director Li nodded repeatedly, his face full of respect.

The scene just now where Jiang Feng saved a life completely overturned his understanding of medical art.

The medical staff beside him each looked at Jiang Feng with eyes that held only worship.

Director Li looked at Jiang Feng, hesitated for a few seconds, as if making a huge decision.

He suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Jiang Feng.

"Mr. Jiang, your medical skill is divine, I have practiced medicine for decades and have never seen such brilliant methods! I earnestly request that you take me as a Disciple, so I may follow you and learn this transcendent medical art!"

"What?"

The words caused an instant uproar in the operating room; everyone was stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

The nurse in charge of monitoring nearly dropped her chart, looking at Director Li in disbelief.

"Director Li… you are a National Hand of the army, countless people have wanted to become your disciple without a chance, and you actually want to become a disciple of Mr. Jiang?"

"Isn't this absurd? Mr. Jiang looks only a few years older than us, yet he can make someone like Director Li, a Mount Tai North Star, voluntarily take him as master?"

It should be known that Director Li is a prominent figure throughout the Military Hospital and the entire army medical system, highly respected; now he bows to a young man to become his disciple—if this spreads, it will certainly shake the whole Jiangcheng medical community!

Jiang Feng looked at the bowing Director Li, his face expressionless, and simply waved his hand lightly.

"No need, your talent is too poor, you are not yet qualified to be my Disciple."

These words floated lightly, yet felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Director Li's head.

He straightened up, a trace of melancholy on his face.

But he also knew that Jiang Feng's recent move, even if given a Hundred years, would still not be matched.

The atmosphere in the operating room instantly became somewhat awkward.

Just as Director Li was about to give up, Jiang Feng added another sentence.

"However, considering your sincerity, if you encounter medical difficulties in the future, you can come to Jishi Hall to find me; I will answer what I can."

"Really?"

Director Li's eyes lit up instantly, the loss on his face vanished.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang! No, thank you, Master! From now on I will certainly visit Jishi Hall often for guidance!"

He said this, and tried to bow again, but Jiang Feng raised his hand to stop him.

Jiang Feng had just expended a large amount of vital energy, and at this moment truly lacked the strength to handle these formalities.

"Alright, I'm tired, I'll go back first. I'll write the Prescription for you later and have Si Yong deliver it to you."

"Alright, alright, alright! Mr. Jiang, take your time! I'll have my assistant see you off!"

"No need."

Jiang Feng waved his hand, turned and walked toward the operating room door, and Huo Siyong hurriedly followed.

Jiang Feng just pushed the door open when he felt a figure rush at him, nearly colliding with him.

"Jiang Feng! Stop!"

The newcomer was Shao Jinpeng, who had been waiting at the doorway for a long time, growing more anxious the longer he waited.

When he saw Jiang Feng emerge, his face turned pale and his steps were unsteady.

He immediately assumed that Lu Xiao hadn't been saved, his eyes reddened instantly, and he reached out to grab Jiang Feng's collar.

"Did you fail to save Group Leader Lu? I knew your unorthodox methods were unreliable!"

Shao Jinpeng roared, his tone full of grief and anger.

Jiang Feng's gaze turned cold, and he sidestepped his hand.

Before Shao Jinpeng could react, Jiang Feng raised his hand and delivered a slap.

"Slap!"

The crisp slap echoed down the corridor, unusually loud.

Shao Jinpeng was stunned in place, his head buzzing, his cheek instantly flushed red.

He stared blankly at Jiang Feng, his eyes full of disbelief, clearly not expecting Jiang Feng to dare strike him!

"I think, compared to Lu Xiao, you are the one who needs to have your brain examined."

Jiang Feng's voice was icy, with a hint of impatience.

Beside them, Deng Guangxu hurried forward and restrained the still‑raging Shao Jinpeng.

"Shao Jinpeng! Calm down! Mr. Jiang just saved Group Leader Lu, expending a great deal of mental energy; don't cause more trouble here!"

Shao Jinpeng only then realized his colossal blunder, having mistaken the Life‑saving Benefactor.

He opened his mouth, intending to apologize.

But the words stuck, and he could only cover his burning cheek.

Jiang Feng ignored him, turned, and kept walking forward.

After only two steps, he passed by a man walking toward him.

Jiang Feng subconsciously glanced at him, feeling an inexplicable familiarity.

But the two only crossed paths for a moment.

So he didn't think further, his steps unhalted as he continued toward the hospital entrance.

The man in black watched Jiang Feng's silhouette, a hint of something flashing in his eyes before he regained composure and headed straight toward the operating room.

At the operating room entrance, Director Li had just escorted Jiang Feng to the doorway when he saw Shao Jinpeng covering his face and standing there.

He instantly understood what had just happened, and his complexion darkened in an instant.

"Shao Jinpeng! What nonsense did you just cause?"

Director Li's tone was severe.

"Mr. Jiang risked exhausting his true Qi to rescue Group Leader Lu, yet you not only showed no gratitude, you tangled and meddled here, even laid hands on Mr. Jiang? Do you think you're that capable?"

Shao Jinpeng lowered his head even further, his voice as tiny as a mosquito's hum.

"I… I thought Group Leader Lu was beyond rescue, a moment of impulse…"

"Can impulse be an excuse?"

Director Li, angry, raised his hand as if to strike him.

"If Mr. Jiang were to keep score, ten lives wouldn't even cover the debt! Fortunately, the esteemed Mr. Jiang has abundant resources and didn't stoop to your level!"

Deng Guangxu also urged from beside them.

"Director Li, Shao Jinpeng acted out of concern but caused chaos; please stop scolding him. Now Group Leader Lu is fine, and that is what matters most."

Director Li sighed, ceased further scolding of Shao Jinpeng, and turned his head toward the black‑clothed man at the entrance.

"Sir, may I ask who you are?"

The black‑clothed man stepped before the crowd, his stature half a head taller than everyone present, exuding a full aura.

He gave a faint smile.

"I am Lei Zhen, from Action Department Group 3, here to temporarily take over Group Leader Lu Xiao's duties."

After introducing himself, he seemed to hint at something.

"By the way, who was the one who just left?"
