I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 810: Chapter 809: She Wants to Get Involved

As for Zhan Lanqi, Beisitian had also thought about it. The fact that she dared to come to her home so brazenly meant that deep down, she didn’t take her seriously.

In the minds of many, military families are honorable, and a military spouse naturally carries a halo. However, for someone like Zhan Lanqi, who is a soldier and skilled, a military spouse is just a burden, a giveaway, a woman who has to rely on a man to survive, and all the glory comes through the man.

This is probably the reason why Zhan Lanqi looked down on her, and also the reason why Zhan Lanqi came to her home to give her, the wife of Commander Luo, a show of strength.

At noon, Luo Xudong returned as promised. It was already his day off, and if not for Zhan Lanqi’s visit, he wouldn’t have had to make this trip. He couldn’t leave because he heard about the task.

However, Zhan Lanqi’s clues were indeed important, so she didn’t dare to mess around with Luo Xudong on this issue.

After lunch, Luo Xudong sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed, with occasional flashes in his eyes, clearly pondering something.

Luo Xudong sat like that for over two hours. When Beisitian woke up from her nap, she found him still sitting there. She poured him a glass of water and put it on the table, waving a hand in front of his eyes.

”Is it really related to the Mystic Doctor?” Beisitian asked.

Luo Xudong snapped back to reality, nodded, and said, ”Yes, and this time it seems to be very bad.” He couldn’t disclose more information.

”Didn’t you say that I might be able to help?” Beisitian asked.

Luo Xudong shook his head, ”Things have changed, no help needed now.”

Seeing him stand up and not wanting to talk more, Beisitian didn’t press further. But knowing Luo Xudong, she decided to look into this matter.

The next day, after Luo Xudong went to the base, Beisitian gave the Qin Family their first task, just as a trial. The task wasn’t too difficult; it was to investigate a case of death caused by the Mystic Doctor.

Although Luo Xudong didn’t say much, he still provided some information to Beisitian through his words. Since a forensic pathologist was involved, it must have involved the police, and since it’s a criminal case, it couldn’t be without a trace.

Moreover, getting the military involved in this matter indicates that it’s either related to the nation or to some secret agency. She knew that Luo Xudong had some power and was part of the General Staff Department Ninth Department. His current identity was just for better discretion.

Luo Xudong belonged to a secret agency, so this case was likely the latter possibility.

She provided the Qin Family with a rough direction, and of course, they understood it was a test by the main family, so they executed it with full force to demonstrate their strength and gain recognition for rewards.

Qiao Hongjie and Desan came to the small courtyard. They had agreed to discuss the residual issues of the Ghost Doctor Mysterious Scripture for a maximum of three hours each day to avoid becoming obsessed.

Beisitian was also quite interested in the Ghost Doctor Mysterious Scripture. There weren’t many scripts that required them to prevent themselves from delving too deep.

However, today the two noticed that Beisitian seemed distracted, so Qiao Hongjie asked, ”Mr. Bei, do you have something on your mind?”

Beisitian smiled bitterly, ”Sorry, Mr. Qiao, indeed I have some matters on my mind.”

”Would you mind sharing?” Qiao Hongjie said.

Beisitian sighed, ”As you know, my husband is a soldier and ran into trouble during a mission. He doesn’t want me to help, probably worried about my safety. But I want to help; how can I openly assist? Oh, by the way, Third Doctor, you don’t need to comment.”

Desan, who was about to speak, was choked by Beisitian’s last sentence and rolled his eyes, ”I was about to tell you an excellent plan. Never mind, suit yourself. You don’t know a treasure when you see one. I can’t be bothered with you!”

Desan’s high plans had always been terrible ideas, and Beisitian wasn’t in the mood to listen to his nonsense, so she directly ignored him.

Qiao Hongjie pondered for a moment and said, ”I do know something. If the matter is really difficult to solve, they will seek some experts for help. If Mr. Bei really wants to help, you might consider this route.”

Beisitian’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. It was clear that Qiao Hongjie had already guessed the task involved the Mystic Doctor. Although Beisitian did not say it explicitly, neither did he, suggesting a mutual understanding.

”How does the recruitment process work?” Beisitian asked.

Based on her understanding of Luo Xudong, he was likely worried about her safety because he almost never casually asked for help. If he mentioned wanting her help, he must have meant it. After going to the base, he changed his mind, signaling that the situation had indeed changed and for the worse, possibly posing danger to her.

Qiao Hongjie said, ”That depends on how the Military Department operates. Some are through certain agencies, like associations, and others through direct recruitment, where those recruited need to be screened, with varying capabilities. Another way is targeted invitations.”

He once was invited by the government to assist in investigating certain cases. Because of this, his illegal organization could continue without being shut down, hunted down, or crushed. Otherwise, if the state power was fully exercised, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Although Beisitian didn’t know much, from Qiao Hongjie’s tone, she could tell that among the three methods, the latter was the most respectable and honorable.

Perhaps Beisitian was indeed not in the state. Qiao Hongjie and Desan left after less than an hour.

In the evening, Beisitian received a message from the Qin Family. Seeing this news, she was shocked and finally understood why Luo Xudong had changed his mind.

This issue was not only related to the Mystic Doctor but might also be connected to that group of Mystic Doctors, the ones who vanished a long time ago but continue to operate in the shadows, making ill-intended moves.

Even after all this time, Beisitian had not relaxed her vigilance against these people. However, they were very hard to track. Over the years, as much as she tried, she could only occasionally get some information about them, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.

This time, could it be them?

Now, both Beisitian and Luo Xudong were no longer the same as before. If they faced off against them, how much chance of victory would they have?

Beisitian sighed. Qinyu’s development was still relatively slow. Perhaps she really should lower the standards; otherwise, always having just three or five people makes it very difficult to grow.

But if the standards were lowered, they would be cannon fodder against those people, bringing harm to others and not much benefit to themselves.

Since Luo Xudong said he didn’t need her help, he surely wouldn’t ask her for it. However, she had to be involved in this matter because Luo Xudong was involved and also because it might be connected to that group of people. She had to get involved!

How to get involved, it seemed she had to rely on herself.
