Chapter 160 - 160 Calculation

160 Calculation

“Mr. Pei, isn’t your arrangement a little inappropriate?!”

Before Pei Qian could finish speaking, Zhu Qing couldn’t help but question, “We carefully chose these herbs. Why should we…”

Zhu Qing spoke eloquently, but before she could finish speaking, she was startled by Lu Ze’s gaze.

Pei Qian pretended not to see Lu Ze’s warning look. He quietly looked at Zhu Qing, who didn’t seem to understand the situation, and said in an extremely soft tone, “If you still want to live, shut up!”

!!

“Mr. Pei, please forgive her!”

Zhu Qing was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Before she could beg for mercy, the old man who staggered over behind her knelt beside her and kowtowed.

“My daughter is naughty and mischievous. It’s all because I didn’t teach her well. Please show mercy. On account of the lack of medical workers in the camp, give my daughter a chance to redeem herself!”

The old man’s attitude was sorrowful, but in fact, his words were filled with cunningness and slyness.

He kept begging for mercy, but he pointed out the difficulties of the refugee camp. It was as if Pei Qian would be disregarding the overall situation if he didn’t show mercy.

“Heh, if I don’t give you a chance, are you going to say that I’m harsh and unreasonable?

“But if I give you a chance, won’t anyone be able to threaten me with the camp’s predicament in the future?”

Pei Qian stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at the old man, who was still kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He was unmoved, but he couldn’t hide his disgust and disdain. “Who do you think you are?!”

Lu Ze shielded Lin Suisui and didn’t let down his guard at all.

“Mr. Pei, what’s going on?!”

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the others in the refugee camp. Among them was naturally the guerrilla general, Dong Ping, who had quickly brought the patrol camp to help the refugee camp after receiving Gao Xuwei’s order.

Dong Ping strode over and saw Zhu Qing, who was kneeling on the ground in fear. His expression immediately darkened.

However, considering that the person standing in front of him was Pei Qian, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and patiently turned to look at Pei Qian with a smile. “I wonder what these two medical officers in our patrol camp did to make you so angry! Please forgive them. As you know, this is just a place in the frontier fortress. Zhu Qing and her father, Doctor Zhuang, can be considered old medical officers in our patrol camp!

If there’s anything wrong, please be magnanimous and forgive them.”

“Then what if I insist on being calculative today?!” Pei Qian turned around and looked at Dong Ping with a faint smile. “Are you going to fall out with me here?!”

Pei Qian clearly didn’t take Dong Ping seriously at this moment, but he only retorted with this sentence before changing the topic and softening his tone. “Forget it. Since you’re begging for mercy for them, Jiamu, I have to give in!

Coincidentally, my uncle, General Gao, has been feeling unwell for the past two days. If the two of you can go over and treat my uncle, not only will I not blame the two of you, but I will also reward you heavily.”

“No wonder. I was wondering why I haven’t seen General Gao until now. It turns out that he’s not feeling well.”

Dong Ping met Pei Qian’s gaze for a long time before lowering his head slightly to avoid his scrutiny. He smiled and continued, “I wonder how General Gao is doing now?!”

“My uncle’s health is fine, but it’s not convenient for him to see outsiders.” Pei Qian glanced at Dong Ping. As if Pei Qian understood what Dong Ping was thinking, without Dong Ping saying anything, he had already blocked Dong Ping’s next words.

“Is that so?! I was thinking of going over to visit. What a pity!” After Dong Ping glanced at Pei Qian, he turned to look at Doctor Zhuang and his daughter, who were still kneeling on the ground. “Didn’t you hear Mr. Pei’s instructions?!

“If you want to atone for your crimes, take good care of the general! If you even offend the general later, I won’t have the face to plead for mercy for you guys anymore!”

Doctor Zhuang and Zhu Qing quickly thanked Dong Ping, then turned around and kowtowed to Pei Qian before getting up and rushing towards the tent with Qian He.

After the father and daughter left, Pei Qian turned around and instructed the soldiers beside him to help carry the herbs in for Lin Suisui to check and pack.

“Didn’t they say that the accompanying medical officers have all been sent back to the capital? This is?!”

Dong Ping noticed Lin Suisui, who had been shielded by Lu Ze. He raised his eyebrows slightly and recalled the news he had heard when he came over.

It was said that there was a doctor with superb medical skills in the refugee camp. If he wasn’t mistaken, the person in front of him should be her.

“This is the medical worker from the refugee camp.” Pei Qian didn’t hide it. After all, Lin Suisui’s reputation had already spread in the refugee camp. Now, the soldiers guarding the refugee camp treated her like Buddha.

If not for his status, even his orders might not be as effective as hers.

Therefore, it was definitely impossible to hide it. It was better to expose it now!

“Oh, so this is Madam Liu! When I arrived at the refugee camp, I heard that Madam Liu saved four seriously injured soldiers single-handedly! Your medical skills are very brilliant!

I thought that we would only meet if we were fated. I didn’t expect that day to arrive so quickly!”

Dong Ping’s gaze never left Lin Suisui. Although this woman had an ordinary face, she looked gentle and demure…

“If you have any ulterior motives, it’s best to calm down first. Madam Liu has a husband! Even if it’s fate, it’s definitely not with you!”

As soon as Dong Ping finished speaking, Pei Qian had already guessed what he was thinking.

“Don’t repeat the same mistake!

After all, when you made a mistake in the capital previously, you were demoted to the northern region. If you make another mistake in the north, where do you think the officials will demote you to?!”

Pei Qian and Dong Ping had known each other for more than a day or two, so they knew each other’s personalities!

Dong Ping’s greatest hobby in life was just like his uncle’s!

Actually, to those noble families’ descendants, womanizing wasn’t that big of a sin! However, Dong Ping was extremely bold. He actually had an affair with Prince Huai Yang’s mistress…
