Chapter 994 Is Mr. Lin married?

"There's nothing to be surprised about. When I decided to take over Youranju, I knew there was no future for us."

"Your family also has better plans for your future."

"As it turns out, you were right."

“If you stay in Yucheng, you might rise steadily, but certainly not this quickly.”

Initially, Lin Chong followed his family's arrangements and went to a remote and impoverished county, where it was quite difficult to achieve political success.

But if you do well, promotion will be easier.

His choice was actually not wrong.

Pang Lüzhi looked at the person in front of her; he seemed to have lost his youthful spirit.

It has more than just composure; it has also weathered many storms.

She thought he must have been very tired during those years.

"I'm sorry." That was all Lin Chong could say.

The two didn't stay long before Lin Chong left.

Shen Lu and Tao Song bought ice cream for everyone.

However, she briefly mentioned to Pang Lüzhi, "Aunt Lü, was that your friend just now? He seemed to have a bad back."

What do you mean?

Pang Lüzhi looked at Shen Lu: "Lu Lu, what did you discover?"

“He must have injured his back. When I saw him go out just now, he walked very slowly and occasionally supported his back with his hand.”

Pang Luzhi murmured softly, "I don't know."

But she has great faith in your medical skills, Shen Lu.

If Shen Ludu mentioned that Lin Chong had a back injury, then he definitely does.

Seeing that Pang Lüzhi didn't say much, Shen Lu guessed that her relationship with this man might be complicated.

She didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, I just saw it and mentioned it casually.

Could it be that she deliberately sought out a patient for herself?

These officials all go to the hospital for medical treatment, and their medical insurance can basically cover the costs. For common back injuries, it's not very effective for her to treat them.

But Shen Lu didn't expect to see Lin Chong again so soon.

It was in Director Lin's office at the First Municipal Hospital.

When Shen Lu arrived, Director Lin happened to have a patient.

She wasn't in a hurry and just waited at the door of the examination room.

She came to deliver mushrooms.

She stayed at the Yan family's place, and was given priority to be sent to the First Municipal Hospital. She can also chat with Director Lin and the others about their recent situations.

“Mr. Lin, this is a chronic back injury that has been bothering you for a long time.”

"Even if we have another surgery, it might not be as good as the last one."

The back injury must have been very dangerous at the time, so it's quite remarkable that Lin Chong has recovered to this extent.

The aftereffects of this back injury are also quite obvious; the pain always gets severe during rainy weather.

"I suggest you come for treatment once a week. Although it can't cure the problem, it will make you feel better."

"It's fine now that it's summer, but your back will be too cold in winter."

Fortunately, Lin Chong only needs to go to the office to work and doesn't need to go out in the cold wind.

Lin Chong knew his back injury was difficult to treat: "Thank you, Director Lin, please prescribe treatment for me."

"However, when I'm busy with work, I might not be able to come over even once a week."

It wasn't that Lin Chong was unwilling; he had only recently returned to Yucheng and was just getting started at his job, so he was bound to be very busy.

If he hadn't been standing for so long these past few days, his back pain wouldn't have gotten so bad that it became unbearable.

"If you don't continue to treat your back pain, it might affect your daily life one day."

"Mr. Lin, you need to take this seriously yourself."

Lin Chong's expression hardened slightly. When he went for a check-up before, the doctor had said that he had to take good care of himself, otherwise it would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn't end up in a wheelchair.

Lin Chong came out of the consultation room and saw Shen Lu.

He remembered seeing Shen Lu at noon; this girl knew Lüzhi.

"LuLu is back?" Director Lin was also overwhelmed with work.

Since her own son has come home for summer vacation, how could Shen Lu not have a vacation?

It seems quite normal for her to return to Yucheng.

"LuLu, since you're here, why don't you take a look at Mr. Lin?"

"He must have suffered a serious back injury, right?" Shen Lu asked Lin Chong.

"How do you know?" Lin Chong's eyelids twitched. If this girl knew, did that mean that Lüzhi also knew?

“I noticed that Mr. Lin’s walking posture is not quite normal, and you were pressing your waist.”

If she hadn't been curious about the relationship between Pang Lüzhi and Lin Chong, Shen Lu probably wouldn't have observed so carefully.

Lin Chong was also curious about Shen Lu's identity. Pang Luzhi seemed to have said that Shen Lu was her niece.

But as far as he knew, Green Branch only had one nephew, not a niece.

"LuLu observed very carefully."

Director Lin first praised Shen Lu before introducing her to Lin Chong: "Shen Lu is a student at the Medical School of Imperial University."

Is he just a student?

Lin Chong could tell that Director Lin valued Shen Lu highly; he had mistaken Shen Lu for a doctor at the hospital.

"Don't underestimate her just because she's a student. She's been studying medicine since elementary school, and she's dabbled in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and she's learned both very well."

"Let her take a look. Maybe I can't do it, but she can."

Director Lin never felt that it was a big deal for a junior to be more capable than him. He respected Shen Lu and even liked her very much.

Shen Lu's talent is something many people can only dream of.

Lin Chong was somewhat surprised: "That powerful?"

"Yes, don't let her young age fool you." Director Lin genuinely hoped that Lin Chong could be cured.

This person looks like a good official who serves the people.

Such people, who can spend more time in their posts, are beneficial to both the country and its people.

Lin Chong returned to the consultation room.

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Shen."

Shen Lu didn't waste any more words and told him to lie down on the bed.

After carefully examining Lin Chong's back injury, she also frowned.

What happened to your injury?

Shen Lu pressed several acupoints, and Lin Chong groaned in pain.

"The injury was caused by a landslide."

When Lin Chong recounted the events of that time, he was merely stating the facts, but Shen Lu could already imagine the perilous situation.

"The doctor who performed your surgery should have already told you about the situation you would face later."

"I can treat this back pain and alleviate your suffering."

"But this process is quite lengthy."

Moreover, Shen Lu had already guessed the reason why Lin Chong and Pang Lüzhi would separate.

Lin Chong's back injury will inevitably make him unable to perform well in his sex life.

He couldn't give Pang Luzhi happiness, so letting her go and letting her find someone else was the best solution.

But to everyone's surprise, Pang Lüzhi never looked for him again.

Shen Lu suspected that Lin Chong was also unmarried.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Lin married?"

That's a bit presumptuous of you to ask: "No."

Lin Chong answered instinctively.

He didn't know what he was thinking, but a thought flashed through his mind.

Perhaps she wanted to convey the message to Lüzhi through Shen Lu's mouth.

Lin Chong also struggled with the decision. There was no future for the two of them to begin with, and he didn't want to hold Lü Zhi back.

But Green Branch has been alone for so many years, which makes Lin Chong think more deeply.

What if she keeps persisting?

Are we going to ruin her life?

"That's good. I was worried about your back; you shouldn't do any more strenuous exercise."

She believed that Lin Chong would understand the meaning of this strenuous exercise without needing an explanation.
