"Director Lee, may we ask for your favor in helping us to find out who the Divine Doctor is? Do you mind connecting us to him? Perhaps he can mend Du Chen's leg." Mrs. Zhou was as courteous as she could be. They were the ones asking for favors, they dared not, even in the slightest bit, irk Director Lee.
Du Shihua was a little desperate. "I heard that the two patients sent here from the platoon at Jin City were operated on by the Divine Doctor. Even Colonel Lin, with his ghastly injury, was able to keep his leg. Surely the Divine Doctor can do the same for my son?"
"Director Lee, we beg you, please connect us with the Divine Doctor! We, the Du family, will fulfill any of his demands, all for the sake of our son's leg!" Mrs. Du looked at Director Lee earnestly.
"Jiang Yao, they are asking about you!" Zhou Weiqi quietly approached Jiang Yao and lightly tapped her elbow.
"Mm." Jiang Yao acknowledged Zhou Weiqi. She was curious to see what Director Lee's reply would be. Previously at the hospital, in a bid to prevent knowledge of Jiang Yao's endeavor from spreading around, he deliberately described her as a fierce and mean character. What would Director Lee say in the presence of the Zhou family and Du family?
Director Lee looked at the rapidly approaching people and hastily took a step back. "As the Divine Doctor does not work for us, I don't know who she is. That favor of yours is tough on me."
"Didn't the Divine Doctor participate in both Colonel Lin's and Lu Xingzhi's operation; along with another soldier that was urgently transferred from Jin City hospital?" Mrs. Zhou frowned, unhappy at Director Lee's deliberate reluctance to tell them who the Divine Doctor was.
