Chapter 22

Lin Xiaoyue pushed him away, turned around sobbing, and ran upstairs.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly took a step to follow.

Du Zhong, with a cold expression, walked up and grabbed him directly.

"Get lost!"

Du Zhong despised such a coward.

In times of danger, a man should stand up!

Afterward, to shamelessly call it a temporary measure was truly despicable!

In his long military career, Du Zhong had only seen comrades who would risk their lives for each other. Where had he ever seen such a cowardly man?

Du Zhong despised him!

"What right do you have to stop me?"

Seeing Du Zhong's move, the young man was immediately anxious, standing still, afraid of Du Zhong's action, yet feeling extremely unwilling. He could only say, "This is a hospital. You're just a security guard. Are you not allowing people to seek medical treatment? Can't you see I'm injured?"

The young man spoke with righteous indignation, but it gave people a sense of being outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.

He had just seen how formidable Du Zhong was.

"Hmph!"

Du Zhong snorted coldly, exerted force with his arm, and pulled the young man to the front, then kicked him hard in the buttocks.

Before the young man could react, he was kicked flying with a scream.

"Listen up, all of you!"

Turning to look at the several security guards led by Wang Hao, Du Zhong said coldly, "Remember his face. From now on, do not let him step into the hospital. If he dares to force his way in, beat him up every time!"

"If you injure or cripple him, it's on me!"

With a cold shout, Du Zhong turned and left.

The crowd, cheering, gradually dispersed, leaving only the security guards led by Wang Hao.

Stunned, the six men looked at Du Zhong's departing back, exchanging glances.

This time, they truly witnessed Du Zhong's strength, his decisiveness, calmness, firmness, and hatred of evil, yet not being overly ruthless, which made them admire him from the bottom of their hearts!

This was their true captain!

A captain who could only be described as a prodigy!

After the incident, the six security guards directly kicked the young man out and obediently returned to the security room.

They didn't want to be punished by Du Zhong again like last time after boasting about their glory.

Although they didn't spread the news, there were too many people around this time. As expected, the whole incident spread like an epidemic throughout the hospital in just one morning.

"Is the new security captain really that strong?"

"Of course, I was the one who called him this morning!"

"So strong, I wonder what he looks like."

"Let me tell you, the new security captain is called Du Zhong. He's quite handsome, especially when he was dealing with those hooligans, he was so cool!"

In the hallway, a group of nurses gathered, chattering and occasionally laughing and joking.

On the third floor of the hospital, in a department.

"Du Zhong again?"

Gu Muer stood by the water dispenser, filling a cup with half hot and half cold water, then turned to look at the only nurse in the department, asking in surprise.

"It seems to be him!" The nurse nodded.

This fool, who looked like a brute, unexpectedly knew a lot of big truths!

Not only did he use brute force to deal with the troublemakers, but he also used big truths to convince them.

Thinking of this, Gu Muer couldn't help but smile.

It seems I should have a good chat with him in the future. Otherwise, not even knowing my roommate well would be a laughingstock!

Thinking of how Du Zhong helped her out and their cohabitation, Gu Muer's face couldn't help but turn a bit red.

On the rooftop of the hospital building, in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department!

"I didn't misjudge him, he is truly teachable!"

Old Qin smiled when he heard the nurses' discussion.

On the other side, in the orthopedic examination room, Wu Haihua's face was dark.

"Again him, why is it always him?"

Wu Haihua slammed his tightly clenched fist on the desk in front of him, almost knocking over the cup on the table.

"Since the day he appeared in the hospital, everything has been taken away by him. The honor and reputation that belonged to me have been gradually eroded by him!"

"Now, the whole hospital is talking about him, every day, talking about him! Damn, every day in different ways! And me? No one cares!"

The more Wu Haihua spoke, the angrier he became, and his hatred for Du Zhong grew even stronger.

"No! I must get rid of him, I must!"

At the intense moment, Wu Haihua stood up abruptly, looking out the window at the security room in front of the hospital gate with a sinister expression.

An event that rarely happened but was bound to happen spread throughout the hospital, and everyone was discussing the new security captain.

And the security team, because of this incident, took root in everyone's heart in the hospital!

Originally, people in the hospital thought the security team was just there to eat and do trivial things like arranging parking spaces.

But after this incident, the image of the security team immediately became more impressive.

They really could protect the hospital's safety!

Even some nurses who had never dared to say it for fear of being laughed at openly expressed their affection for some members of the security team.

Du Zhong, of course, didn't know about the discussions in the hospital.

After resolving another dispute, Du Zhong didn't feel proud. In his heart, everything he did was his duty.

He didn't seek any praise or glory; he just wanted to do it, and he should do it.

This was his Du Zhong!

In the morning, the security team stayed in the security room on duty.

Only Du Zhong went to a small garden deep in the hospital to exercise.

"Frankly, I'm not used to this leisurely life after leaving the military!"

After a set of military boxing, a thousand push-ups, a thousand squats, and five hundred frog jumps, Du Zhong finished his exercise.

"The time is about right, I should report to Old Qin!"

Looking at the scorching sun, Du Zhong walked to the faucet, washed himself thoroughly, dried off, put on his jacket, and headed to the security room.

After briefing Wang Hao and the others, Du Zhong walked directly into the hospital building.

When he arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, there were about ten minutes before the clinic opened.

Pushing the door open, Du Zhong found both Old Qin and Wu Haihua inside!

"Du Zhong, you're here?"

Just as Du Zhong entered the department, Wu Haihua suddenly walked up with a kind smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Du Zhong frowned.

This guy was always narrow-minded and liked to target him. Why was he suddenly so polite today?

But when something unusual happens, there must be a reason!

So he directly asked, "What's up?"

"Nothing, nothing, just get ready, the clinic is about to open..."

Wu Haihua's unusual behavior made Du Zhong even more alert.

Thinking this, but showing no signs, Du Zhong calmly walked behind the medicine cabinet to prepare, and Old Qin also smiled and prepared to open the clinic.

In the afternoon, Du Zhong continued to dispense medicine as usual. Since the patients were different from yesterday, there were inevitably some doubts.

However, when Du Zhong explained again through his actions, everyone was reassured.

Strangely, Wu Haihua didn't cause any trouble for Du Zhong all afternoon, and even treated him with great courtesy, as if they were good friends.

When it was time to leave, Du Zhong was about to go when Wu Haihua suddenly came up to him.

"Is he about to show his true colors?"

Du Zhong thought to himself.

"Du Zhong, we can be considered fellow disciples. You came in after me. If you don't mind, can I call you junior brother?" Wu Haihua said with a smile.

"I haven't officially joined, I dare not!"

Du Zhong glanced at Old Qin and said.

Indeed, he hadn't formally apprenticed to Old Qin, and Old Qin had never mentioned it. He had just been learning Traditional Chinese Medicine from him.

Wu Haihua's expression didn't change, still smiling.

"Isn't it just a matter of time before you join? Since that's the case, I'll still call you Du Zhong. We're learning under Old Qin in the same place, so we should get closer. Let's put the unpleasant things behind us. I want to ask for your help, is that okay?"

Du Zhong smiled slightly and asked, "What kind of help?"

"How about this, I'll talk to Old Qin first!"

Saying this, Wu Haihua walked to Old Qin's desk and said respectfully, "Old Qin, I need to take a leave. I have something urgent tomorrow afternoon and can't come. Can Du Zhong take my place and learn to diagnose and prescribe?"

"Although Du Zhong has only been here for two days, with his talent, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Hearing this, Old Qin looked at Wu Haihua, then turned to Du Zhong.

Diagnose and prescribe?

To be honest, in these two days, Du Zhong had already memorized all the properties and combinations of the Chinese herbs in Old Qin's department. Continuing to dispense medicine wouldn't help him improve.

Regardless of whether Wu Haihua's move was a plot, Du Zhong didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Moreover, Du Zhong was not afraid of any plot.

Seeing that Du Zhong didn't refuse, Old Qin nodded slightly, agreeing to Wu Haihua's leave.

After this was settled, Old Qin left the hospital, and Du Zhong followed.

Wu Haihua, who was the last to lock the door, looked at Du Zhong's gradually disappearing back with a sinister smile.

After work, Du Zhong returned directly to the apartment.

Surprisingly, Gu Muer was already there. As soon as he opened the door, Du Zhong smelled a tempting aroma.

"Hey, Master Du is back?"

Wearing pink Hello Kitty slippers and a pink apron, Gu Muer walked out of the kitchen with a plate of vegetables that looked quite good, and smiled at Du Zhong who had just entered.

"Uh-huh!"

Du Zhong nodded, a bit puzzled.

What's going on today?

Wu Haihua's behavior was strange, and now Gu Muer was being friendly. Had the world changed?

"Standing there for what? Hurry up and change your shoes and come eat!"

Seeing Du Zhong standing at the door, Gu Muer's face turned slightly red, and she called out with a hint of embarrassment.

This guy, how could he be so inconsiderate!

It really annoyed her!

Although she thought this, Gu Muer still smiled and sat down at the table, acting like a good wife.

"Oh?"

Du Zhong was taken aback, changed his shoes, and walked over.
