I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 376 - 375: That Dream

"Everyone moved out?" Beisitian asked in return."Yes, you are the fifth family now, and not a single one has lasted more than half a year!" The lady, afraid she wouldn’t believe, added, "Do you think this independent courtyard is easy to buy? Let me tell you, everyone living here has connections. Go and see three streets over; basically, five or six families are crammed into one courtyard!"

"You’re from out of town, you don’t know. Walk around a bit, there are only a few independent courtyards in the entire Beijing, and it’s not like those with money can’t buy them. It’s just that without connections, you can’t buy them. Your family managed to buy this house, so haven’t you wondered why?"

The lady implied that these outsiders had no connections, as few outsiders were in Beijing now.

Beisitian didn’t pay attention to this, thanked her with a smile, and walked towards the outside of the alley.

Beisitian walked a considerable distance before reaching the nearest bus stop. A bus with thick cables hanging from its roof arrived, and Beisitian got on, bought a ticket, and headed to her destination.

This area wasn’t far from Shichahai. Beisitian quickly got off the bus, seeing a black car parked there. The driver was the old man’s exclusive driver, indicating he was there to pick her up.

"Doctor Bei, please get in." The driver opened the door for Beisitian, then drove away.

At the entrance of the red-painted gate, Beisitian got out of the car and pushed the door open to enter. Wu Yuekai was practicing Tai Chi in the back courtyard, and he smiled and stopped when he saw Beisitian approaching.

"Did you call me for something?" Beisitian asked with a smile.

"Can’t I call you for no reason?" Wu Yuekai snorted and retorted.

Beisitian shook her head with a laugh, "It’s just that I’m busy saving General Zhou, right? Do you know how General Zhou ended up like this?"

Upon mentioning this, Wu Yuekai’s smile faded, and he invited Beisitian inside.

"I’m not very clear on the specifics, just that General Zhou seemed to be investigating something and was discovered and ambushed, ending up like this." Wu Yuekai didn’t know everything.

Beisitian told Wu Yuekai what she knew, and Wu Yuekai furrowed his brows, saying, "What you said makes me recall something."

"Go ahead."

"I remember two years ago, General Zhou was investigating matters related to the Mystic Doctor. I found it strange at the time, as the Left and Right Sects are publicly known, so what was he investigating? Due to secrecy, I didn’t know much, but thinking about it now, they must be the ones he was investigating!" Wu Yuekai said.

Beisitian nodded, realizing that those above must have been aware of their existence as well, matching her own speculations. If no one could be found, there wouldn’t be much to do.

"Girl, you’d better not get involved in this matter," Wu Yuekai frowned. Since even General Zhou ended up like this, it seemed those people indeed were too dangerous.

Beisitian smiled bitterly, "Actually, once I was involved, I couldn’t withdraw even if I wanted to. Even with my identity being kept secret, it’s inevitable that someone would find out, especially now that Dean Du and Mei Siyuan both know. If I back out now, it’ll seem like I’m lacking confidence and fear those people."

Whether misunderstood or not wasn’t important, Wu Yuekai knew Beisitian had a point; once she got involved, she wouldn’t be able to extricate herself.

Over the past two years, only Beisitian’s talismanic water had successfully caused a significant change in Zhou Biwu’s physical condition. Even if she claimed she couldn’t make the counteractive talismanic water, as long as the higher-ups were investigating those people, they would continually seek Beisitian, eventually pushing her into the spotlight.hink that Dean Du found you, the mysterious Mystic Doctor, for a consultation," Wu Yuekai explained.

Beisitian thought for a moment and understood; she would maintain a low profile, just not using the Tian Family as a front, but rather Du Kai Bo!

This was a good idea, but...

"Isn’t that dragging Dean Du into it?" Beisitian frowned, unable to bring herself to shift the danger onto others.

Wu Yuekai glared at her, "For someone who claims to be smart, how can you not understand now that the Tian Family, though powerful, is just one family? Du Kai Bo may seem like one person, but he has the backing of the military and the nation!"

Beisitian realized, indeed.

"You can discuss this matter directly with Dean Du; I think he’ll be willing. Regardless of whether you succeed in saving General Zhou, you’ve already become a target for those people. Dean Du won’t mind if Beisitian seeks his cooperation."

Beisitian understood that since Du Kai Bo was involved in rescuing General Zhou, whether successful or not, he had already become a target for those people, so he wouldn’t mind Beisitian associating with him.

Wu Yuekai added, "Of course, if you save General Zhou, the credit will go to Dean Du and not the Tian Family."

Beisitian nodded; the credit was no longer important as the Tian Family wouldn’t revoke their recruitment qualification and wouldn’t draw attention from those people; that was the main thing.

"Sir, you’re truly amazing, I’ve been mulling over this all day, and you’ve solved it right away. I should have come to you sooner!" Beisitian said with a playful smile, trying to flatter him.

If anyone else had said this, Wu Yuekai wouldn’t have cared, but coming from Beisitian, he couldn’t help but enjoy the compliment, his mouth involuntarily smiling.

However, looking ahead, the girl would inevitably be discovered one day, and with his current status, he wouldn’t be able to protect her, and Xudong would need time to grow. Perhaps he must reconsider accepting the Military Department’s proposal.

Wu Yuekai had previously been resolutely against advancing further, as he understood power was valuable but too many were coveting him, and being older, he desired a peaceful retirement.

Yet since having that dream, he’s reconsidered; he wishes to protect this girl until Luo Xudong is able to safeguard her.

This thought entirely contradicted his original intention, but he enjoyed it nonetheless, despite there being no reason for it. As for that dream...

"Girl, I remember you mentioned having a master, right?" Wu Yuekai asked, feigning a nonchalant demeanor.
