“Doctor Ling, sorry for troubling you again.” Qin Min smiled.

Ling Ran also gave a smile and said, “It’s fine. It’s my duty.”

Qin Min gave a huge smile without hesitation. “Doctor Ling, you’re the best.”

Old Xu turned his head around while he remained beside Qin Min, looking flabbergasted.

He was truly surprised, as Qin Min did not usually appear friendly to other men. Old Xu used to think that Qin Min did not want to go into a relationship just yet and just wanted to focus on her career first…

Old Xu could not help but look at the mirror before he looked at Ling Ran. His jealousy slowly disappeared and was replaced with inexplicable desolation…

He was already old. Since his vagrant youth had been given to dogs, he no longer had any desires in his life. If it were not because of bad luck sending a fishing rod into his back, he would not have needed to come to the hospital.

Before Old Xu came to the hospital, he did not know that a man’s good looks could reach such a level.

Old Xu could not help but ask, “So… Why did you want to become a doctor, Doctor Ling?”

“Because I want to become a doctor.” Ling Ran glanced at Old Xu and asked, “Where’s his medical record?”

The plain and ugly doctor immediately turned on the electronic medical records and turned to Ling Ran’s direction. Since Old Xu was just recently admitted, his medical records would be largely scarce. However, the drugs prescribed to him, the examinations he received, and the examination results would be shown in the medical record.

Although the plain and ugly doctor was shocked just now, he would still need to work for Ling Ran.

“Go and ask them to hurry up on the examination report.” Ling Ran scanned through the medical record and gave a reminder.

The plain and ugly doctor replied, “Okay.”

Old Xu watched Ling Ran ask a series of questions and perform a series of examinations before he asked, “Doctor Ling, you should have many career choices available to you, right? You just became a doctor because you wanted to?”

“Yes.” Ling Ran looked at Old Xu and answered.

Old Xu was curious and said, “But you must have better options, right? You should have career options that will give you more money and power.”

“Doing what I want to do is even better,” Ling Ran replied directly. This was something he had thought about a long time ago.

Old Xu was stunned and turned his head around. He saw Qin Ming look at Ling Ran with an admiring gaze, and he could not help but feel resigned.

“I also became a policeman because I wanted to.” Old Xu sighed and said to Qin Min.

Qin Min’s empathy for her colleague who only had a superficial wound was reduced by a large degree, and she easily retorted, “You even said you wanted to become part of the Public Security Police Force previously.”

“I worked in the Public Security Police Force for my wife and children. Our Police Dog Squad always worked with the Criminal Investigation Department and Drug Unit, won’t our family worry about us? I’ve been admitted to the hospital a few times.” Old Xu opposed directly. Although he did not prioritize his work, he did not want to be regarded as a person who did not love his work.

Qin Min gave a faint smile, but her eyes were on Ling Ran. Then, she asked, “Doctor Ling, will there be any scars on my calf?”

Qin Min’s calves were slim and beautiful, and it was a rather beautiful part of her, among the unmentionables below her neck. Ling Ran put on gloves and pressed on it for a while before he asked a few more questions. Then, he said with certainty, “No scars will be formed over there.”

“Thank you, Doctor Ling.” Qin Min was a bit shy but happy.

Old Xu could finally feel the misery from the young doctors beside him. He sighed heavily, “I’m talking about my job and my life.”

“Chestnut’s life was saved by Doctor Ling,” Qin Min said seriously, “If you think your body is not feeling well, you may go to Doctor Ling for surgery. Every time I come to Yun Hua Hospital, everyone would say that Doctor Ling does his surgeries well. If Doctor Ling is willing to receive you as his patient, your illness has already recovered by 70% to 80%.”

Old Xu smiled. “Is it that ridiculous?”

“Really. I have asked many patients’ family members. Some doctors have a good reputation, but after they perform surgery, some patients recover faster, while some don’t. When it comes to Doctor Ling, that’s not the case. All the patients will recover…” Qin Min said even more seriously. Treatment and going to the doctors was a matter concerning life and death, and that was definitely not something to be joked about.

Old Xu looked at Ling Ran seriously and smiled. “You praised the person right in front of him.

“How do you feel, Doctor Ling?”

“Oh, I always receive compliments.” Ling Ran remained calm and looked at Old Xu.

Old Xu was stunned and wanted to tease him. When he looked at Ling Ran’s expression, his skillset as a policeman finally came into play. “What you said is real.”

Ma Yanlin could not bear listening to the conversation anymore. “Of course. Look at his face. Your dog is handsome too, and it’s often praised, right?”

Old Xu finally became quiet and sighed for the last time today. “Sigh, praises are not all that it ever received…”

Ling Ran changed to another pair of gloves, turned around, and said to Old Xu, “Let me do a physical examination for you.”

“The doctor just now already examined me…”

Ling Ran only hummed without giving further explanation. Surgeons would never believe in other doctors. There was nothing much to be explained about this. Even Doctor Zhou was far away from being omniscient.

“Does your stomach usually give you trouble?” Ling Ran asked.

Old Xu laid down and smiled when he saw that the curtains around him were drawn. Then, he said, “How healthy can a policeman’s stomach be? It’s especially so for us, who have already worked in a few departments. They’re just thinking of new ways to torture you all the time. You can just perform a few CT scans on me, if you want.”

“Wait a minute. Let me examine you for a while.”

Old Xu was worried that Ling Ran would come under the notion that Old Xu just refused his offer for a physical examination because he thought that Ling Ran was young. He showed an embarrassed smile and said, “It’s not that I want to take advantage of the medical insurance covering my examination fees, but it’s just that I have no time. I came to the hospital because of a work injury. And since I need an examination, I decided to have it all done…”

“Does any part of your stomach bring you discomfort?” Ling Ran did not reply immediately.

“It’s not really a discomfort, just occasional bloating.” Old Xu chuckled. “I’m much better than others. Our captain is far worse. He already went through gastrointestinal bleeding twice. He already stopped drinking, but whenever there’s a martial arts tournament in the police force, he’ll be so nervous that he can’t eat…”

“Do you feel any tension in your muscles?” Ling Ran pressed on the Old Xu’s upper abdomen.

“A little bit.” Old Xu frowned. “This is normal, right?”

Ling Ran did not reply and asked, “Did you recently lose weight?”

Enquiry was part of physical examinations, and it could not be neglected.

Old Xu felt proud and laughed. “I did not have much of an appetite recently. So, I took the opportunity to lose weight. I lost almost 22 pounds. It’s pretty effective, right?”

Ling Ran still did not reply and palpated the entire upper abdomen before he looked at Old Xu’s left collarbone and said to Ma Yanlin, who waited at his side. “Send him directly for a CT scan of the abdomen. Call Doctor Zuo over.”

Ma Yanlin could not help but look at Old Xu with pity and pushed him away.

Qin Min found the situation off the more she listened to the conversation, and she asked, “What’s going on?”

“Ask the patient’s family members to come over.” Nurse Niu, who was beside Ling Ran, was worried that Ling Ran would say something wrong, so she took the chance to speak first.

Qin Min shook her head. “Old Xu’s wife is still their children, studying elsewhere. It will take some time for her to come over.”

“Does he have no other immediate family members?”

Qin Min sensed that something was wrong. She hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Old Xu is an orphan of someone who died for the country, and he has been taken care of by the organization. After he finished studying, he no longer had any immediate family members. He was… raised up at the Public Security Compound since he was young…”

Nurse Niu was already in her middle age, and she had grown far more kind hearted, which was why she was shocked when she heard that. Then, she said to Ling Ran, “Doctor Ling, you should directly tell Officer Qin in this situation.”

Ling Ran looked stern and pondered about this for a few seconds, before he said directly, “The physical examination indicated that he might have stomach cancer. We’ll have to look at the CT-scan for the specifics.”

“Impossible. You’ve just checked for a few minutes and pressed on his stomach, How can it be…?” Qin Min immediately said before she stopped and gulped, “I’m not questioning you, but… could it be a wrong diagnosis?”

Ling Ran remained silent and repeated what he said previously, “We’ll wait for the CT-scan.”

He now had Master Level Physical Examination. The error rate in his judgment was very low. However, Ling Ran did not confirm it straight away. After all, the CT-scan would not cause any unnecessary delays for his treatment.
