Chapter 97: Inspection
The three arrived at the Outpatient Department and queued up to register.
Chang Ning watched from the side as Gao Zhong Dui skillfully found the department according to the list; he was just like an outsider, as if the one undergoing the check-up wasn’t himself, but Gao Zhong Dui himself.
‘Gao Zhong Dui must have frequented hospitals often.’
Chang Ning thought to himself.
People who are healthy or don’t have any major illnesses rarely come to the hospital, so they definitely wouldn’t be familiar with the layout of the various departments or the process of seeing a doctor.
Entering the hospital is like entering a maze, leaving one disoriented.
“When there’s nothing going on, I come to visit old comrades. Some of my comrades have retired, but you know Wolf Fang’s work is special; they’ve all left with quite a few ailments.
If I, as their captain, don’t keep an eye on them, they’ll definitely be too lazy to follow up.
Moreover, the physiotherapy here at the General Military Hospital is quite effective, so I come too when I have time.”
When Gao Zhong Dui turned back to observe the surroundings and his gaze met Chang Ning’s, he saw the doubt in Chang Ning’s heart and then spoke to explain.
He wasn’t young anymore either, covered in injuries yet still fighting on the front line, so when not on missions, he would come here for physiotherapy.
Maybe this was one of the reasons He Da Dui formed Lone Wolf B Team; after all, the members of A Team were all getting on in years.
After Xiao Geng and the others stepped up, A Team would gradually move to the second line as reserves and the instructor team to continue shining in Wolf Fang.
Tong Youyou and Gao Zhong Dui brought Chang Ning to the outside of the department specializing in treating soldiers’ Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Through the glass, the three saw a young man sitting in the office reading a book.
Seeing the doctor wasn’t receiving patients, Tong Youyou took the lead and directly pushed open the door to walk in.
“Old Mo, you’re really leisurely here.”
Mo Bai Shu was immersed in studying medicine when Tong Youyou suddenly spoke, scaring him badly.
Seeing that the one who scared him was Tong Youyou, Mo Bai Shu didn’t want to pay her any attention.
Everyone in the entire General Military Hospital and Donghai Medical College knew how tenacious the research fanatic Tong Youyou was; as long as it was useful for her research—people or information—she would rack her brains to get it.
This time coming to him definitely meant she wanted his help.
“Spit it out, what do you want this time? Let me say beforehand, you can’t interfere with my treating the sick and saving people.”
Mo Bai Shu said listlessly. If time could be rewound, he would definitely choose not to know this tenacious guy Tong Youyou.
“Don’t worry, I won’t put you in a tough spot.”
Tong Youyou patted her chest resounding, saying confidently.
These words made Mo Bai Shu roll his eyes. Perhaps seeing Mo Bai Shu rolling his eyes, Tong Youyou also knew she wasn’t very likable in certain aspects.
She straightforwardly introduced Chang Ning’s situation to this senior, emphasizing Chang Ning’s importance to her next stage of research.
In short, find a way to cure Chang Ning.
“Not to say, you’re in medicine too—you wouldn’t not know that doctors don’t dare conclude without even seeing the patient, let alone guarantee they can definitely cure them!”
“I’m just anxious, that’s all. Anyway, that’s my meaning.
Old Mo, the person’s right outside; next up is on you!”
“I’m a doctor; if there’s even a sliver of hope for the patient, I won’t give up.
Bring the person in first and let me take a look before we talk.”
Tong Youyou went to the office entrance, stuck her head out, and waved to Chang Ning and Gao Zhong Dui, signaling them to come in.
“The doctor inside is Mo Bai Shu, the one at the General Hospital with the most research on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Gao Zhong Dui should be aware of this.”
“Military Doctor Tong is right; Doctor Mo indeed has very high attainments in this area and has a reputation internationally.”
Gao Zhong Dui agreed with Tong Youyou’s words. As one of the mid-level commanders of the military unit with the most actual combat operations, he had dealt with Doctor Mo Bai Shu many times.
“I’ve already greeted Old Mo on that side, Chang Ning, just relax.”
Although he knew this beauty in front of him meant well, Chang Ning felt he was fine; the abnormal reaction was just that once, and it hadn’t appeared again after returning to the Selection Training Camp.
“Who is here for the check-up?”
Mo Bai Shu put down the book and looked at the two soldiers in front of him as he asked.
“Him.”
Gao Zhong Dui pressed Chang Ning onto the chair opposite Mo Bai Shu and pointed at Chang Ning.
“Let’s do a routine consultation first. Officer, did you have any special feelings the first time you killed?”
“No particular feelings. The engagement distance was very far at the time; I’m very sure my emotions were extremely stable then.
If I had to say any special feeling, the recoil of the 56 rifle made my shoulder a bit uncomfortable, plus the poachers don’t maintain their guns; it wasn’t comfortable to use, and the gun oil stung my eyes…”
Speaking of this, Chang Ning immediately perked up, from the poachers’ unprofessional military movements to his experience using the 56 rifle, chattering nonstop.
“Uh… Comrade, we can pause for now.
From your description, you had no negative emotions about killing at the time.
So, do you have nightmares after coming back?”
Mo Bai Shu saw Chang Ning going on endlessly about the situation back then; if he didn’t stop him, this comrade in front of him could probably talk all day.
“Nightmares?
Had one once, right after I finished the battle when I went to sleep; it kept looping the same scene.
In the dream, the details of my engagement were very clear; I could even see the wrinkles on the poachers’ faces.”
Chang Ning slowly recounted his situation, his tone without any ups and downs, as if he wasn’t talking about himself.
“And after that? Do you still have such dreams? Do you remain vigilant toward everything around you?”
Mo Bai Shu pushed up the glasses slipping down his nose bridge, hunched over the table constantly writing and drawing, seemingly analyzing Chang Ning’s situation.
“Haven’t had that kind of dream since coming back; I feel very relaxed now.”
Chang Ning was very nervous about his own situation; if he really had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, he would definitely be arranged to transfer out.
“I see…”
Mo Bai Shu first lowered his head to respond to Chang Ning, then suddenly swung a fist at him.
The event happened very suddenly; except for Mo Bai Shu himself, the other three people hadn’t expected this doctor to launch an attack.
The fist steadily stopped at a distance of three finger-widths from Chang Ning’s nose tip; throughout this, Chang Ning made no response—he didn’t even blink.
“Doctor Mo, are you trying to make me laugh? Actually, no need to go to such trouble.
If you want me to laugh, just tell me; I’ll cooperate.
No need to trouble yourself like this; there’s a table between us, and your arm is clearly not as long as the table.
Moreover, you didn’t even stand up when launching the attack, so obviously you had no intention of actually attacking me.”
Chang Ning calmly analyzed; he himself didn’t know he could be this calm. Clearly, he hadn’t reacted to Doctor Mo’s attack just now.
As for the analysis just now, it was just made up to cover not reacting; after all, there was a girl present—how could he let everyone see his embarrassment.
“Cough cough cough… This officer speaks quite amusingly.”
Mo Bai Shu was thrown off by Chang Ning’s unconventional behavior; he had never met such a weirdo.
What arm not as long as the table—clearly made up on the spot, even if it sounded reasonable.
But Mo Bai Shu, sitting opposite Chang Ning, saw Chang Ning’s micro-expressions clearly; the two behind Chang Ning didn’t know—didn’t he know either?
He was a doctorate in psychiatry and psychology from Donghai City Medical College!
Mo Bai Shu was very certain that Chang Ning was also startled in that instant of his attack.
“From what I see currently, you have no problems; you’re very healthy physically.”
Mo Bai Shu said with certainty; his earlier questions, including the sudden attack on Chang Ning, were not without purpose.
First, from Chang Ning’s answers, his mental state had no issues.
The nightmares Chang Ning mentioned right after the battlefield were also normal phenomena, as long as they weren’t frequent.
Moreover, through his Q&A with Chang Ning, Mo Bai Shu found Chang Ning’s thinking sharp, mind clear, and emotions steady when recounting the combat situation then, indicating Chang Ning’s mental state was good.
Facing his sudden attack, he was just startled with no overreactions, so in summary, Chang Ning had no problems.
“Phew~
Thanks, Doctor!”
Mo Bai Shu’s diagnosis made Chang Ning relax completely, like the shackles on his body had been lifted.
“No need to thank; it’s my duty.”
Mo Bai Shu said with a smile; Chang Ning had no illness, and as a doctor, he was naturally happy.
“Old Mo, treat you to dinner when you’re free.”
Tong Youyou was also very happy; she knew if Chang Ning was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, he would definitely face transfer.
Now, the data on Chang Ning concerned her thesis; Tong Youyou definitely didn’t want her subject of observation to have issues.
“Gao Zhong Dui, since you’re all here, I want to do a full-body check on Chang Ning; is that okay?”
Tong Youyou boldly stated the purpose of following along.
“You need to ask Chang Ning about that.”
Knowing Chang Ning had a fear of women, Gao Zhong Dui deliberately let Tong Youyou interact with Chang Ning; this kind of issue could only be solved by gradually adapting.
Full-body check?
Chang Ning immediately became vigilant; he knew his special traits would be discovered someday, but he didn’t expect someone to target him now.
Moreover, he had the system in him, so Chang Ning extremely rejected this kind of check—what if the system was detected.
“I’m not sick; why check?”
“Whether sick or not isn’t up to you; we need to see the report.”
With that, Tong Youyou went forward to push Chang Ning toward the department for physical checks.
“System, can you be detected?”
System: “Please rest assured, host; this system has anti-detection functions and cannot be detected with current societal tech levels.”
The system’s response reassured Chang Ning; after dodging Tong Youyou and keeping a certain distance from her, he followed to do the full-body check.
……
“You’re really a monster! All data shows your physical quality is four times higher than a normal person!”
Tong Youyou held the urgently printed report, becoming even more interested in Chang Ning’s body.
Chang Ning hadn’t joined Wolf Fang yet, so his confidentiality level wasn’t high; with Tong Youyou’s current level, pulling Chang Ning’s information was easy.
Clearly, Chang Ning’s pre-enlistment data showed his physical quality barely on par with ordinary people, but now it was four times that of a normal adult male.
Even secondary development couldn’t be this intense.
‘Could this guy’s body have a problem?’
Tong Youyou thought Chang Ning might have abnormalities at the genetic level, but she wasn’t skilled in genetic research; if she had to study Chang Ning’s physical condition, she could only cooperate with others.
That definitely wouldn’t work; Tong Youyou knew she could investigate Chang Ning because she joined Wolf Fang, raising her confidentiality level.
Finding someone matching her psychological expectations to research together wouldn’t be easy.
‘Change research direction?’
Tong Youyou looked at Chang Ning with eyes full of struggle; giving up just like this, she was unwilling.
‘Whatever, see how it goes first.’
This matter couldn’t be rushed; Tong Youyou planned to take it step by step.
The beautiful military doctor’s troubles were naturally unknown to Chang Ning; he was quite happy now.
No Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, so he could continue his military career.
