I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s-Chapter 524 - 523: Disbelief

The receptionist was quite helpless, with a somewhat harsh attitude, but couldn’t do anything as Peng Baocheng was occupying the window and not leaving. She had to say, "The specialists on duty this week are all written on the small blackboard there. Can’t you see it for yourself? There’s no one called Beisitian at all. Did you come to the wrong hospital?"

Peng Baocheng’s gaze fell on the blackboard behind her. He scanned it quickly but indeed did not find Beisitian’s name, a momentary look of confusion appearing on his face.

What was going on? Brother Ma told him it was this hospital. Could he really have come to the wrong place?

"Can you stop occupying the window? There are so many people waiting in line behind you!" the receptionist frowned and said.

Peng Baocheng, preoccupied, didn’t want to argue with her, stepped back two steps, and looked blankly at the registration hall. This was indeed the 232 Military District Hospital. Why couldn’t he find the person he was looking for?

Just as Peng Baocheng was about to make a phone call and ask, a youthful-looking person walked over.

"Are you looking for Beisitian?"

Upon hearing the name, Peng Baocheng was instantly thrilled and nodded, "That’s right. Do you know her?"

Zheng Qiwai sighed, turned around, and started to walk out, saying, "Follow me."

It was Thursday today, and a patient with an appointment hadn’t shown up in the morning, leaving him with a moment of free time. As he went down to the first floor, he heard someone shouting Beisitian’s name. As he looked in that direction, he saw Peng Baocheng.

Understanding the situation, Zheng Qiwai thought it best to take him there.

He actually now understood that he might have really mistaken the person. Initially, he stubbornly believed that Bei Jiale was doing it deliberately, but later, after several observations, he realized that Beisitian and Bei Jiale looked extremely similar, yet their personalities were completely different!

People can disguise themselves, but sometimes their attitudes, especially in some details, can clearly show a person’s true self.

Bei Jiale was also not the type who could stay in one place, so why were the two so alike?

He wanted to continue investigating, but those eyes watching him left him no choice.

Peng Baocheng followed behind Zheng Qiwai and, seeing him head towards a secluded place after leaving the surgical building, immediately became wary and halted.

Zheng Qiwai heard the sound and also stopped, turning back to look at Peng Baocheng.

"Who are you? How do you know Doctor Bei?" Peng Baocheng started using the same term as Ma Tianlai to refer to Beisitian as Doctor Bei.

Zheng Qiwai laughed, noting that this person was quite vigilant. He lit a cigarette and said, "I’m a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and she’s also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. What’s so strange about knowing her? You can choose not to follow; what if I intend to harm you?"

With that, Zheng Qiwai didn’t linger and continued to walk forward. He wasn’t obliged to help, just happened to be on the way.

As for why it was on the way, only he knew.

Peng Baocheng hesitated for a moment but still stepped up to follow, keeping a certain distance from Zheng Qiwai.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few people holding slips, seemingly going to get medicine. Seeing that this wasn’t a deserted place without a soul, Peng Baocheng felt relieved.

It’s not surprising he was being paranoid. With their status, they’ve been kidnapped for ransom before. Some came back with their lives, while others never returned.

Zheng Qiwai stopped at the corner of the surgical building, extinguished his cigarette, and pointed behind the building, saying, "There’s a row of bungalows over there, and the Doctor Bei you’re looking for is there. Go by yourself." After saying this, he paid no more attention to Peng Baocheng and walked away.

Peng Baocheng watched Zheng Qiwai leave without any hesitance, took a few steps forward, and looked inside. Sure enough, there was a row of bungalows, with a few cats and dogs coming and going, and not much activity.

His suspicions grew greatly. According to Ma Tianlai, this Doctor Bei was genuinely skilled, but this place didn’t look like where such a person would stay.

"Brother Ma has no reason to deceive me." Peng Baocheng looked at that row of bungalows but did not move forward. It was too secluded, and without high-end equipment like cameras, if someone were to throw him into a sack and toss him into a car, no one would know his whereabouts!

"What are you doing!"

A voice sternly asked behind Peng Baocheng, startling him. He quickly turned around to see an old man a short distance behind him, looking at him sharply.

Honestly, typical old men wouldn’t have such a look. This old man must have been a tough guy when he was young!

"I’m here to see a doctor," Peng Baocheng said.

Ma Sanqiang sneered, "Why are you sneaking around like that if you’re seeing a doctor? What exactly are you up to? If you don’t say, I’ll call the police station!"

During those times, the police station was a good way to scare both adults and children.

Peng Baocheng rolled his eyes and straightened up, saying, "Old man, don’t use the police to scare me. Even if I’m not here to see a doctor, it’s none of your business. In this rundown place, what could a robber or thief even take away?"

Ma Sanqiang was naturally a meddler, and with the air of an old revolutionary, how could he not go up and argue?

Just as Ma Sanqiang was about to step up, a woman in her forties walked over from behind, smiling and asked, "Uncle Ma, what are you doing here? If you walked any slower, I would’ve made it ahead of you. Doctor Bei is so busy now, you’ll have to wait a long time in line."

The person who came was Liu Chunxing, who couldn’t be considered a ’nail resident’ but had been treated for a long time without much effect, until she finally saw improvement under Beisitian’s treatment.

Liu Chunxing and Jiang Yanmei got acquainted because of this, as they often came together to learn about health preservation from Beisitian. Today, Jiang Yanmei had something to do and didn’t come, so she came alone.

As soon as Peng Baocheng heard the three words ’Doctor Bei,’ he immediately asked, "Sister, are you referring to Beisitian when you say Doctor Bei?"

Liu Chunxing’s face darkened as she scanned Peng Baocheng up and down, "Your eyesight isn’t very good, is it? No matter how I look, I’m younger than you. Why are you calling me sister!"

Peng Baocheng waited nervously for the answer and didn’t expect the woman to get hung up on the address issue. Amused and frustrated, he said, "It’s a formal title! Please, is it Beisitian?"

Liu Chunxing snorted, reluctantly accepting his explanation, "The one referred to as Doctor Bei here, who else could it be aside from Beisitian?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Baocheng was overjoyed. It seemed he hadn’t come to the wrong place, and regardless of whether it was Ma Sanqiang or Liu Chunxing, one was old and decrepit while the other visibly carried several spare tires around her waist—clear signs of ordinary people.

With this thought, Peng Baocheng hesitated no longer and strode over.

Ma Sanqiang and Liu Chunxing exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying understanding; it seemed he, too, was here to seek treatment.

Peng Baocheng arrived at the row of bungalows, somewhat astonished. It was the same hospital, so why was there such a huge difference?
