There were five people standing in Bai Xin's ward, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

Among them, a middle-aged couple was particularly eye-catching. The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with gray hair and a haggard face; the woman had fiery red hair, heavy makeup, and was dressed very modernly.

It is not difficult to tell from their appearance that they should be Bai Xin's parents.

Next to him, an old man about seventy years old was standing quietly. The wrinkles on his face were like the marks of time, deep and vicissitudes. His eyes revealed a sharpness and majesty. I guess this must be Bai Xin's grandfather.

In addition, there were two young people, the boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the girl was twelve or thirteen years old. They should be Bai Xin's younger brother and sister.

Both of their eyes revealed their concern and worry for their brother.

At this time, Gu Ranle and Jiang Ze walked into the ward one after another.

The five people in the room turned their heads at the same time, all eyes focused on them.

Jiang Ze's steps were slightly hesitant, with a hint of guilt and nervousness on his face.

Gu Ranle seemed unusually calm, with steady steps and a firm gaze.

"The doctor needs to examine the patient. Family members please step aside first."

Gu Ranle's voice was calm and decisive. She didn't give anyone any chance to ask questions and started to "drive people away" directly.

After hearing this, Jiang Ze couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Didn't you say that I should kick out the family members? Why did she have to do it herself now? Was she just talking and I had to obey?

He shook his head helplessly, sighing in his heart that his boss's mind was really unfathomable.

Seeing this, Bai Xin's mother hurriedly asked, "Are you...my son's attending physician? Doctor, what is my son's condition now?"

There was a hint of urgency and anxiety in her voice.

Gu Ranle glanced at her indifferently and said calmly: "I am not your son's attending physician."

"What?" Bai Xin's mother looked surprised when she heard this.

"I'm the dean's assistant." Gu Ranle continued, her tone still calm, "If you have any questions, just ask the attending doctor. The dean is going to make rounds now, please leave first."

Bai Xin's mother wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing Gu Ranle's unquestionable expression, she finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Jiang Ze stood at the door, with his hands behind his back, silent, like a statue guarding the ward.

After everyone left, he reached out and slowly closed the door.

Gu Ranle's voice sounded at the right time, clear and powerful, "Dean, you can do the examination now."

Under the mask, Jiang Ze's mouth corners were twitching violently without anyone noticing, and he was secretly complaining in his heart.

You don't look like an assistant at all. It's obvious that I'm the one helping you!

The boss is not only an excellent doctor, but also a great actor.

Gu Ranle had walked to Bai Xin's bedside, pulled over a chair and sat down calmly.

She lifted the quilt, pulled out Bai Xin's arm, and placed her slender fingers lightly on his pulse.

In an instant, her eyes became extremely focused and deep.

This was not the first time that Jiang Ze witnessed Gu Ranle performing the pulse-taking technique, but every time he saw it, he couldn't help but hold his breath, fearing that his breathing would disturb this concentration and sanctity.

After taking the pulse, Gu Ranle flipped Bai Xin's eyelids again.

Then she stood up and walked towards the door.

Jiang Ze followed her silently, and when she was about to reach the door, he quickly quickened his pace and opened the door for her first.

Outside the door, the Bai family was waiting anxiously. As soon as they saw the door open, they immediately swarmed in and surrounded Jiang Ze.

"Dean Jiang, what's the situation with my son?"

There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Bai Xin's mother's voice, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Jiang Ze subconsciously looked towards Gu Ranle, only to see her standing quietly aside. At this moment, she had restrained all her edge and looked like a well-behaved little assistant.

Jiang Ze complained in his heart again, Boss, you are really good at pretending!

"I'm just here for a routine check-up today. The attending physician will inform you in detail about Bai Xin's specific condition." Jiang Ze's tone was calm, but revealed unquestionable authority.

Before he finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave. However, Bai Xin's mother refused to give in: "Jiang Ze, what's your attitude? If it weren't for your niece, how could my son be lying here? I tell you, if anything happens to my son, I will never let it go. I will make your niece Jiang Li pay the price and spend the rest of her life in jail!"

"Ah!"

A contemptuous sneer suddenly sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere in the corridor.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused, looking for the source of the sound.

"You little assistant, what are you laughing at?" Bai Xin's mother stared at Gu Ranle with her eyes wide open.

Gu Ranle frowned slightly, with a bit of displeasure in her tone, "Who are you looking down on? What's wrong with the little assistant? Doesn't the little assistant even have the right to laugh? Besides, this is a hospital, not your private territory. I can laugh whenever I want. Do I need your permission?"

"You——" Bai Xin's mother was choked and speechless for a moment.

"What's wrong with me? I just smiled, and I offended you? Are you planning to make me spend the rest of my life in jail?"

Gu Ranle showed no sign of weakness, stretched out his hands, and said provocatively: "Come on, come on, if you have the ability, you are awesome, tie me up and send me to jail!"

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of people around, and many people cast curious glances.

Seeing this, Bai Xin's father was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he quickly pulled Bai Xin's mother over and glared at her fiercely.

Then he turned to Gu Ranle and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, little girl. My wife was too worried about my son and her emotions were out of control. Please don't take it personally if her words were inappropriate. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Gu Ranle snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You think you are so great as a rich man living in a high-end ward? You even look down on the little assistant! You have no manners at all!"

After saying that, she shook her head, took big strides, and walked away, leaving everyone in shock.

Jiang Ze stood aside, watching Gu Ranle's series of reactions, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

He has known Gu Ranle for many years, and in his impression she has always been calm, self-possessed and taciturn. This is the first time he has seen her so bold and lively.

He tried hard to suppress the urge to raise his lips, and said in the calm manner that a mature man should have:

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, I understand how you feel at the moment, but now is not the time to talk about the matter between Bai Xin and Jiang Li. As for Bai Xin's condition, let's wait for the attending physician to communicate with you in detail. What I can tell you is that his condition is very complicated. A mild concussion is not enough to make him unconscious. There are other reasons for his coma. Also, what Bai Xin needs most now is rest. You can visit him, but please try to shorten the time and let him have enough rest so that he can wake up faster."

As soon as Jiang Ze finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor.

A male doctor in a white coat, followed by a nurse and an assistant, hurried over here.

The male doctor looked serious, obviously having an urgent matter.

"Director, you are here to make rounds in person." The leading doctor said to Jiang Ze with a hint of respect in his tone.

Jiang Ze said "hmm" softly, then turned to look at the attending doctor and instructed: "Communicate in detail with the family about the patient's specific condition."

"Okay, Dean." The attending doctor nodded quickly, and then advised with concern, "Dean, you have been working the night shift until now. Go back and rest quickly. Your health is very important."

Jiang Ze didn't say anything more and turned back to his office.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Gu Ranle sitting carelessly on his desk, holding an unknown document in his hand, reading it with great interest.

Jiang Ze closed the door gently, walked up to Gu Ranle, first glanced at the things in her hand, then lowered his voice and asked, "Boss, what's the situation with that Bai guy?"

Gu Ranle raised his eyes to look at him and said solemnly: "The situation is very bad."

Jiang Ze had actually already anticipated this in his heart. He was naturally aware that "this situation is very bad", but what he wanted to know more was to what extent it was "very bad".

So he asked tentatively: "Boss, can he... still wake up?"

Gu Ranle looked at the nervous expression on his face, smiled slightly, and asked, "Do you want him to wake up, or do you not want him to wake up?"

When Jiang Ze was asked this, he immediately looked embarrassed, feeling unnatural as if his thoughts had been exposed.

He cleared his throat and pretended to be calm and said, "A doctor is kind-hearted. I naturally hope that he can wake up."

Gu Ranle didn't buy his story and sneered, "President Jiang, could you please stop speaking insincerely?"

Jiang Ze felt even more embarrassed after hearing what she said, so he had to clear his throat again and explained: "Ahem - mainly because if he can't wake up, it will be troublesome for Jiang Li."

"That's all!" Gu Ranle put down the documents in his hand, suddenly changed the subject, and asked abruptly, "Have you thought of who your niece's biological father is?"

Jiang Ze shook his head honestly and said helplessly: "No, I have no idea at all."

He clasped his hands together and made a pleading gesture, "Boss, I am stupid, please give me some advice."

Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, I'm busy as a top. I don't have time to take care of these trivial matters."

"Boss——" Jiang Ze still wanted to fight for it again.

"Bai Xin must wake up." Gu Ranle's tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt.

Jiang Ze wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Gu Ranle. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Dean Jiang, instead of spending time on gossip, you might as well figure out who your niece's biological father is. Although the matter she encountered this time is not a big deal, but looking at the attitude of the Bai family, it is not easy to deal with. Maybe, once the mysterious father takes action, things will be much simpler."

"What?" Jiang Ze was stunned for a while, and his eyes suddenly flashed with gossip. "Boss, from what you said, my sister's 'wild man' has a complicated background."

"When Mr. Bai wakes up, call me immediately." Gu Ranle ordered.

"Boss, is it necessary to go through so much trouble? Why don't you just give him two injections and he will wake up, right?" Jiang Ze was full of doubts and put forward his own idea.

"I'll give him two injections?" Gu Ranle chuckled, his eyes full of mockery, "He's not worthy of me doing this."

Gu Ranle's attitude was clear and firm.

Although Jiang Ze still had many questions in his mind, looking at the unquestionable look in his boss's eyes, he could only swallow his words back.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Ranle drove to the Li family.

When she went out today, she did not go to Li's house first as usual, but decided to go to the hospital first.

Li family.

The atmosphere in the living room seemed a little anxious.

According to Gu Ranle's usual habits, she should have arrived by now.

But today, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of her.

Li Minghui was wondering in his heart, was Dr. Gu delayed by something?

He picked up his phone and wanted to call Gu Ranle's number several times to inquire about the situation, but he was worried that doing so would seem too pushy and inappropriate, so he put the phone down again.

At this time, Li Xiuneng was more anxious than Li Minghui.

When he called Gu Ranle yesterday, he could hear the displeasure in her tone.

Based on his understanding of Gu Ranle, there was a high possibility that she would not come to treat him today.

What's worse, he found that his number had been blacklisted by her.

He wanted to call her, but the call was impossible.

Li Xiuneng felt a little regretful, but he was too embarrassed to borrow a cell phone from the bodyguard beside him, so he could only wait anxiously.

"It's strange, why hasn't Dr. Gu arrived today?" Li Jiashu walked in from outside, muttering to himself as he took out his cell phone.

He didn't think too much about it and directly called Gu Ranle.

After the call ended, Li Xiuneng couldn't wait to ask, "Is she coming over today?"

Li Jiashu nodded and said, "Come here. She has something to do today, but she will be here soon. You can rest for a while. I will go downstairs to prepare lunch with Dad. It will be almost noon when Dr. Gu finishes treating you, so you must eat before leaving."

After saying that, Li Jiashu turned around and prepared to leave.

"Is it too late to make the braised pig's trotters now?" Li Xiuneng's voice suddenly came from behind.

Li Jiashu paused, turned around and looked at Li Xiuneng in confusion: "Old Four, do you want to eat braised pig's trotters? No! Doctor Gu said that you can only eat a light diet now, and braised pig's trotters are too greasy. I'll make it for you when you're better and want to eat it."

Li Xiuneng shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat."

Li Jiashu was even more puzzled: "Why do you order the braised pig's trotters if you don't want to eat them?"

He muttered to himself that the fourth brother had been in a coma and his brain must be a little abnormal.

When Dr. Gu comes, I will have to talk to her carefully to find out how to treat this condition.

Considering Li Xiuneng's current situation, Li Jiashu did not argue with him anymore, but nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll make you some braised pig's trotters."

"And there are wontons." Li Xiuneng remembered something and added.

Li Jiashu smiled helplessly and nodded, "Some of the wontons I made some time ago are still frozen in the refrigerator. I'll cook them for you later."

Although frozen wontons are not as delicious as freshly made ones, Li Xiuneng still has some self-awareness. Since he doesn't cook, he doesn't make any requests.

About an hour later, Gu Ranle finally arrived at the Li family.

Li Xiuneng had asked his bodyguards to take him to the balcony long ago, from which he could see the main entrance at a glance.

The moment he saw Gu Ranle get out of the car, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally she came. He thought Gu Ranle really didn't care about him anymore.

Gu Ranle seemed to have noticed something and looked towards the second floor.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and they looked at each other in silence.
