Fu Wenwen was unaware of the Fu family's affairs. At this moment, she was accompanying Elder Master Lu to visit Elder Master Bai.
Seeing Elder Master Bai struggling to get up from the bed, Fu Wenwen truly admired him. His waist should have been in great pain, yet the moment he saw Elder Master Lu, he acted as if he felt no pain and wanted to stand up from the bed.
"Alright, lie down quickly. I don't need your礼 (lǐ)," Elder Master Lu shot him a glare and pushed him back onto the bed.
He told him to lie down obediently and not court death.
"Brother Lu," Elder Master Bai looked at Elder Master Lu and smiled apologetically. "I've troubled you to travel such a long distance to see me..."
"Alright, lie down and don't move. This is my grandson's wife. Let her examine you. See if your old waist can still be saved..." Elder Master Lu patted him and gestured for Fu Wenwen to step forward.
"Grandpa Bai, it might hurt a little. Please bear with it," Fu Wenwen took out a box of silver needles, sterilized them, and then inserted them into Elder Master Bai's acupoints.
Using her special ability, she searched for the bullet in Elder Master Bai's lumbar spine.
The target was too obvious, and Fu Wenwen found it with one probe. The lumbar spine was already dark. The bullet had been in his body for too many years and had begun to rot. Fortunately, it was just stuck in a gap and had not encroached on his nerves.
The bullet's position was too tricky, which was why no one dared to operate on Elder Master Bai. If there was even the slightest mistake, it would result in paralysis at best, and immediate death at worst.
Fu Wenwen looked at Elder Master Lu, who was waiting for her reply.
Fu Wenwen nodded gently.
A smile tugged at Elder Master Lu's lips, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Hearing Elder Master Lu's sigh, Elder Master Bai interpreted it as a sigh.
"Brother Lu, it's alright. I've known about it for a long time. My waist has supported me for so many years, and it's time for it to retire."
"After I'm gone, I implore Brother Lu to look after Zi Ning and his children..."
Elder Master Lu heard him as if he were giving his dying instructions, so he stepped forward and tapped his head.
"Look after your own grandsons from the Bai family!"
"Ouch, brother is about to die, and you're still hitting me."
Elder Master Bai said aggrievedly.
"Who said you were going to die?" Elder Master Lu felt he hadn't hit him hard enough and wished he had struck him heavily.
Bai Zhanpeng cowered beside them, acting like a quail.
He pretended to see nothing.
Only Elder Master Lu could hit their elder master like this without him getting angry. If anyone else dared to touch him, he would fight them to the death.
"Wenwen, how should we treat it?" Elder Master Lu looked at Fu Wenwen. Fu Wenwen took out her silver needles and flicked the needle's tail lightly.
In reality, her special ability entered Elder Master Lu's body, slowly repairing the infected wound caused by the rotting bullet.
"Surgery. Take the bullet out at the hospital and rest for three months." Fu Wenwen looked at Elder Master Lu, who was overjoyed. "Then let's not delay. We'll go to the hospital now."
Bai Zhanpeng was startled. They were leaving already?
"Uncle Lu, are we going directly?"
"Of course. Are you planning to choose an auspicious day to go?" Elder Master Lu shot Bai Zhanpeng a glare and ordered someone to prepare a car to take Elder Master Bai to the hospital.
Elder Master Bai looked at Elder Master Lu and smiled.
"To be able to see Brother Lu, regardless of the outcome of today's surgery, I will have no regrets even if I die."
"Stop spouting nonsense!" Elder Master Lu hit him without hesitation.
"With Wenwen here, you won't be able to die even if you wanted to."
Elder Master Bai and Bai Zhanpeng looked at Fu Wenwen and were stunned.
They hadn't expected Elder Master Lu to have such a high opinion of Fu Wenwen.
After arriving at the hospital, Bai Zhanpeng immediately arranged for the best surgeon to operate on Elder Master Bai. Soon after, the doctor found Bai Zhanpeng.
"Patriarch Bai, I already told you last time that Elder Bai's current physical condition is not suitable for surgery..."
"It's alright, you do it! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens." Bai Zhanpeng glanced at Elder Master Lu, who merely cast a faint glance at the doctor.
"Hmph." Elder Master Lu snorted dismissively.
"This is extremely irresponsible to the patient. He will die on the operating table!" The doctor looked at Bai Zhanpeng, hoping he would change his mind.
"Just do it when I tell you to. Why are you spouting so much nonsense? If you can't do it, get someone else!" Before Bai Zhanpeng could speak, Elder Master Bai, standing by, angrily slammed the table and pointed at the doctor.
"You will die!" The doctor frowned and said to Elder Master Bai.
"I won't die," Fu Wenwen said, looking at the doctor.
"Where did this little girl come from? His wound has already started to fester. Once surgery is performed, it's very easy to get infected and die. Do you know that?" the doctor yelled angrily.
"Let's find another doctor," Fu Wenwen said to Bai Zhanpeng.
"Find, find, find," Elder Master Bai immediately supported changing doctors.
"I am the best surgeon in this hospital. Without my permission, no other doctor will perform surgery for you," the doctor said angrily.
"I told you, I'll guarantee his life. You don't believe me, and you're unwilling to do it yourself. So what do you want? Just watch him get infected and await his death?" Fu Wenwen was also a little annoyed with this doctor.
"I'm still thinking of a better plan," the doctor said in a low voice, pursing his lips.
"By the time you think of one, it'll be too late!" Fu Wenwen gave the doctor a look.
"Wait another day, and his wound will worsen. You're a doctor, you know what that means, right?"
"How do you know his wound has worsened?" The doctor looked at Fu Wenwen and frowned.
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. Just know that I have this capability," Fu Wenwen said to the doctor.
"I'm just asking you, can you do this surgery? If not, we'll change hospitals!"
The doctor took a deep look at Fu Wenwen and nodded in agreement. "Fine, I'll do it."
"Prepare for surgery," the doctor ordered the nurse.
Fu Wenwen followed the doctor into the operating room. The doctor saw Fu Wenwen had come in and said, "Wait outside."
"Someone help me change too," Fu Wenwen proved it with her actions and said calmly to the doctor.
The doctor looked at Bai Zhanpeng, who nodded.
"Give her a sterile gown," the doctor told the nurse.
After Fu Wenwen put on the white coat, she walked up to the doctor.
"You just need to open up the bullet wound. I'll handle the rest," Fu Wenwen said to the doctor.
"Are you joking? This is surgery, not child's play!" The doctor said angrily to Fu Wenwen, finding her utterly absurd.
Fu Wenwen gestured for him to ask Bai Zhanpeng's opinion. The doctor stormed out and returned a moment later.
"I'll see what you intend to do!" Clearly, the answer he received was the last thing the doctor wanted to hear.
Bai Zhanpeng stated that Fu Wenwen would be in charge of everything.
"Girl, my life is in your hands now," Elder Master Bai said to Fu Wenwen with a smile.
Then, under the doctor's anesthetic needle, Elder Master Bai gradually lost consciousness.
Fu Wenwen watched as the doctor cut open the wound on Elder Master Bai's waist and nodded with satisfaction.
