Chapter 109 - You're Worthy Of Our Respect
Luo Ziling's sudden question gave Linlan a shock. She shot him a glare, but he ignored her. He really wanted to know just what had happened in the past, so when he realized that the old man was being very kind to him, he decided to take the opportunity to ask his question.
Since he had already asked, he really hoped that the old man would answer. Linlan's glare wouldn't scare him off!
The old man was also stunned, having not expected Luo Ziling to ask this question.
In the end, he shook his head. "I don't know either. I only met your grandfather a few times, but we hit it off somehow. I never ran into him ever again, though."
In fact, the old man knew all the details, having been one of the people who were present at the time. However, at this point in time, he would not tell Luo Ziling. It wasn't something he could simply let him know right now.
Luo Ziling did not see anything strange from the old man's expression and believed what he'd said. He could not help but feel a little discouraged and sighed quietly.
The old man also knew that it was inappropriate to talk about Luo Liansheng these days, so he quickly changed the topic. "I slept very well last night. It was the best sleep I've had in years."
"Senior, you look much better than yesterday. I think if we continue to treat you, the results might be better than expected!"/
"I hope you can surprise me then." The old man laughed loudly. "If you can cure my illness, I will definitely repay you generously."
After a pause, he said, "You saved Linlan's life and are treating my ailment. Everyone in the Soaring Dragons will be forever grateful to you."
"Senior, I still don't know what kind of organization the Soaring Dragons is." Luo Ziling smiled a little embarrassedly and glanced at Linlan, who didn't show any outward reaction. "Actually, I don't know who she is," he continued. "When I helped her, I saw the national flag pattern on her clothes and thought that she was a soldier, otherwise I might not have saved her."
"Without you, she would have lost her life. Without your outstanding medical skills, even if she had managed to survive, she would not have made a full recovery." The old man looked at Lin Lan, who had a bashful expression, and then to Luo Ziling. "However, there are some things that we are unable to tell you. It involves military secrets, so I hope you can understand."
"Alright, I won't ask any more." Luo Ziling could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and prepare to start today's treatment.
After starting the treatment, he immersed himself into the role of a doctor.
As he inserted a needle, Luo Ziling felt a small change in the old man's body. When the needle was inserted into the acupuncture point, the reaction of the old man's muscles was slightly stronger than the last time.
The reaction could not be seen with the naked eye, however. It could only be felt through physical contact. it might have been a bodily reaction, but Luo Zilling believed that this was likely how the effects of the treatment were manifesting.
After the acupunctural treatment was over, he massaged the old man's body, during which he further kneaded his muscles to stimulate their internal strength. This way, the effect of the massage would be better, but it would consume more physical strength. When he finished massaging the old man's body, Luo Ziling had already used up more than half of his physical strength. The sweat on his body had almost soaked through his clothes.
When he finished the treatment and stood up, Luo Ziling's legs felt weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Linlan's reflexes were quick, and she caught him before he could.
"Thank you." Luo Ziling grabbed her arm tightly and thanked her sincerely.
However, when he thanked her, he saw her face twitch. He quickly released her arm. He knew that Linlan must have accidentally jostled one of her wounds, or else she wouldn't have such a reaction.
He immediately asked her to stand aside and stop helping him pack his things, instead asking two other nurses to help him. Then, he put his things into his bag and called Linlan to go with him.
After walking out of the old man's small building, Luo Ziling asked Linlan, "Did you hurt yourself just now?"
She glanced at him and finally nodded, to which he hesitated for a moment and finally said softly, "I'll take a look at it later."
Linlan didn't respond. She simply walked in front of him to lead the way. When they walked out of the small building, Luo Ziling saw the two guys who stopped him yesterday, the middle-aged man and the big guy.
He tensed up and stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw them. If they were looking to fight again today, he could only admit defeat because he had already exhausted his strength.
However, the two guys did not do anything to him. They only nodded slightly at him and then went up to Linlan, asking, "How is it?"
"It's going well." Linlan shook her head and whispered, "The treatment is quite effective."
Seeing them shake their heads and nod, Luo Ziling was a little confused about what was going on.
"You're worthy of our respect." Falcon extended his hand to him. "We admire you."
Luo Ziling looked at the other party warily, but still extended his hand and accepted the Falcon's handshake.
"I'll come by and ask for advice next time. Eagle smiled at Luo Ziling and did not say anything else. He turned around and left.
After the two of them left, Luo Ziling finally heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Linlan turned around and looked at him. Her gaze was a little strange, but she did not say anything.
After that, the two of them walked to her room in silence. After taking off his shoes, he followed her into the bedroom.
"Why don't you let me see how your recovery is going?" Luo Ziling suggested. "For the other scars, I think it'll better if we wait for a few days before treating them. Otherwise, it might harm your body. If you're injured, you have to rest properly so that you can recover as soon as possible. If you don't, there will definitely be complications, understand?"
These words stunned Linlan for a moment, though a slight warmth bloomed in her heart. In the end, she nodded, indicating that she accepted his suggestion.
Without saying anything else, she turned around and began to take off the leather jacket on her upper body.
Luo Ziling did not stare at her back. Instead, he took the opportunity to put down the bag he was carrying. While Linlan was taking off her bra, he took out some of the equipment and medicine he would need to use or her treatment.
When Linlan finished taking her clothes off, Luo Ziling was still holding something with his head down.
"My wounds recovered much better than I expected. I just felt the pain because I used too much strength just now," Linlan said as she moved her hands away from her bare chest.
Of course, there was also a bright red scar there.
