Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 553 - An experienced veteran

Translator: Thyaeria

Qiongjin Medical University was the best medicine-related university in the Huainan Province. It could be ranked amongst the top 10 within the country, but it did not have a high ranking internationally since it was related to their foundation and the capability of their professors. After all, many famous medical universities globally had an outstanding hospital supporting them as a base of operation to nurture and provide talents. Although Qiongjin Medical University had over twenty hospitals affiliated to them, most of them were mediocre, aside from two to three provincial hospitals.

Within Qiongjin Medical University, the School of TCM had a low position. It was located at Jiangzhou campus. This was a university city, but the School of TCM was situated in an insignificant location. But at the same time, it’s also not neglected.

There were several cars parked outside the School of TCM. There’s a bottle of red bull on a particular vehicle along with a youth holding onto his phone, standing under a tree that wasn’t far from the car, chatting through his phone. Suddenly, a lady walked over in short pants and a white T-shirt. When she noticed the red bull, she went up and talked to the youth, which the two of them swiftly formed an agreement and the youth opened the front passenger door, in which the lady entered and clipped on the safety belt.

A camera popped out of a black vehicle and recorded everything. It was a man in his thirties and a cigarette was hanging on his lips with a peculiar smile. He muttered to himself, “So it was true!”

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Liu Jianwei frowned and asked, “What’s true?”

“You have no idea about it?” Xia Yu exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked at Liu Jianwei as if he was looking at a fool. “Nongfu Spring, ¥200 for once; Green Tea, ¥300 for once; Mizone, ¥400 for once; Red Bull, ¥600 for once. If you’re not satisfied with the person, you can say that you’re waiting for someone. Meanwhile, taking the bottle means that she’s willing to sleep with you!”

Widening his eyes, Liu Jianwei looked at Xia Yu in disbelief and asked, “This works too?”

Throwing a bottle of mineral water to Liu Jianwei, Xia Yu smiled. “Why don’t you go and test it?”

Sourly looking at Xia Yu, Liu Jianwei replied, “I’m not interested; you can go and try it yourself if you dare!”

“Well, it’s a pity that I’m already taken. Otherwise, I would definitely test it out myself.” Xia Yu sighed with a bitter smile.

As Liu Jianwei’s glance fell on a skinny-framed man, he nudged his lips. “The target has already shown up, let’s focus on the official business here.”

Wearing his spectacles, Xia Yu wryly smiled. “Truth be told; it’s my first time acting as a member of the triad to extort and blackmail.”

Nodding his head, Liu Jianwei also commented, “I also feel that it\'s a little overkill!”

The two of them looked at the distant couple with interest, since they did not get out of the car. Evidently, they were waiting for what’s coming next to happen.

It was a skinny man that stood at 5’9” with his hair neatly arranged. He had a square face with peach blossom eyes and wore a smile on his lips.

After waiting for three to four minutes, a long-haired student ran over and apologised, “Mr. Chen, I’m sorry for making you wait.”

With a casual smile, Chen Junkai revealed his pearly-white teeth and replied, “It’s my honor to wait for a beauty. Zhong Yue, I’m already happy that you can accept my invitation.”

“Where are we going now?” Zhong Yue curiously asked as she looked around.

Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Junkai replied, “We’re going to eat! After we’re done eating, we can go to a movie. If you still haven’t had enough fun after that, we can visit the bar.”

“Bar?” Zhong Yue hesitated as she answered, “The dormitory closes at 11 p.m., and I won’t be able to return.”

“Don’t worry about it; I will definitely arrange somewhere to stay for you.” Chen Junkai smiled.

Although Zhong Yue had some favorable impression of Chen Junkai, this was their first meeting, and it’s inappropriate for her to visit a hotel with Chen Junkai. Thus, she hesitated and suggested, “Let’s just eat. I have to return to the dormitory tonight since the teacher strictly checks. Not only will I be given demerit points, but my parents will also be called up.”

Seeing that Zhong Yue was a conservative woman, Chen Junkai smiled. “Don’t worry. We’re just going to eat, and it won’t take too much time.”

Nodding her head, Zhong Yue smiled.

Seeing her smile, Chen Junkai’s heart throbbed. Although he dated many university students in the past, Zhong Yue was undoubtedly the prettiest amongst them. Most importantly, Zhong Yue was a conservative woman, and no matter how he looked at her, she’s definitely a virgin.

Although Chen Junkai seemed to maintain his composure, his heart was actually fluttering.

As for Zhong Yue, she had a favorable impression of Chen Junkai as well.

She’s a freshman at Qiongjin Medical University’s School of TCM. Like other universities, first-year students were required to undergo a month of military training, and the instructor would be appointed from the armed police. There’s also another possibility of senior students from a military school, and Zhong Yue’s military instructor came from Qiongjin Military Academy, Chen Junkai.

Initially, several instructors wanted to pursue Zhong Yue, but due to an unexpected turn of events, Chen Junkai got to know Zhong Yue and started his frantic pursuit of her. Although Zhong Yue responded indifferently at the beginning, the two of them gradually got closer as time passed.

All women had dreams of finding a military boyfriend. Although Zhong Yue knew that as a student, her job was to study; however, she still couldn’t help but be attracted by Chen Junkai, who looked heroic and handsome.

“I would like to apologise for the matter before! I’m actually not familiar with that person.” Zhong Yue explained with her face blushed.

“It’s fine; I was also impulsive for hitting him. Actually, I have a good temper, and I only taught him a lesson when I saw him harassing you.” Chen Junkai then became curious and asked, “By the way, who is he? He doesn’t seem like a fellow classmate of yours.”

As Zhong Yue kicked her white sandal on the ground, she answered, “He’s a second-year senior. Our school is special, and a portion of the students will be assigned to a teacher. We’re both students of Mr. He Deqiu, so he’s my Senior Brother, and he has also helped me often.”

Hearing Zhong Yue’s words, Chen Junkai instantly understood the meaning in them and smiled. “I see... But I can tell that that Senior Brother of yours seems interested in you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted out so emotionally.”

Nodding her head, Zhong Yue blushed. “Please don’t do that again. When you sent me flowers, I instantly became the laughing stock of the entire school.”

Waving his hand, Chen Junkai said in a serious and solemn tone, “I can only show my feelings for you by sending flowers. In this current era, I’m sure that the school teachers and leaders can understand them.”

Zhong Yue was a student who had just finished high school. Despite her interest in romance novels, she had no experience in dating due to her strict upbringing. Hence, Chen Junkai’s confession had struck her in a panic that felt like having a little deer charging in her embrace.

“Let’s go and eat. Today’s a weekend, and I’ve managed to request a day off with great difficulty. I also called a few friends, so we can eat together!” Chen Junkai smiled as he pointed at the Mercedes-Benz parked by the roadside.

Although Zhong Yue’s family condition was decent, her father only drove a Volkswagen Passat. Hence, she was shocked by Chen Junkai’s car since he must have a good family background.

When Chen Junkai noticed the change in Zhong Yue’s expression, he felt a surge of pride since a freshman like Zhong Yue was an easy target.

Not long after the Mercedes-Benz drove off, Liu Jianwei nudged his lips at Xia Yu. “That brat seems to be richer than I’ve imagined!”

“Rich, my ass!” Xia Yu continued to sourly expose, “That’s just an ordinary BYD car, he just changed the logo.”

Showing a curious look towards Xia Yu, Liu Jianwei asked, “How did you manage to see through that?”

As Xia Yu’s face blushed from Liu Jianwei’s question, he frankly answered, “In the past, I also had such a thought of making one myself, but I gave up when the news reported that the police investigated a merchant for it and because he also changed his car registration, he was fined ¥1,500. I never expected that that brat was still using such an old trick.”

Seeing that the fake Mercedes-Benz has driven a distance out, Liu Jianwei smiled. “Aren’t you going after him?”

“You need tactics to tail someone. Don’t worry about it. With my keen sense of smell, he won’t be able to escape from me. I’ll give a call to Su Tao and report the situation first.” Xia Yu patiently replied.

In the classroom, Su Tao replied when he received Xia Yu’s report, “Give me a few minutes. I’ll be there shortly.”

Sitting opposite him, Zhu Yu stared at him with her eyes glued to his face.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Su Tao bitterly smiled in the end.

“Are you not going to help Bian Bo? That soldier, Chen Junkai, previously gave him a beating! Although Bian Bo’s attitude towards you hasn\'t been good, you guys are still martial brothers.” Zhu Ru asked.

“Why are you so sure that I’m capable of getting rid of his love rival?” Su Tao replied with a question instead.

Letting out a sigh, Zhu Ru decided to convince Su Tao from another angle and continued, “You can ignore Bian Bo, but you definitely have to help Junior Sister Zhong Yue, right?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Su Tao sighed as well. “This reason sounds plausible, but do remember that I will never help an idiot. Make sure Bian Bo doesn’t misunderstand and think that I’m helping him; I’m only doing this because I do not wish to see a Junior Sister being cheated by a conman.”

“Conman?” Zhu Ru frowned as she looked at Su Tao.

“That’s right!” Su Tao honestly replied and continued, “There might be a huge question about Chen Junkai’s identity alone.”

“What question?” Zhu Ru asked, with her brows locked.

“The result will be shocking. When you know about it, you will definitely receive a shock. I can only say that conmen nowadays are too formidable with tons of means and imagination.” Su Tao purposely left her hanging by the cliff.
