Gao Lan was slightly stunned when she saw the door open just as she was about to knock. Then, she retracted her right hand and stuffed it back into her pocket. She nodded and smiled at Su Meng.

Su Meng asked, “Doctor Gao, are you here to see my master?”

Gao Lan glanced at Su Meng, who was about to go out and throw the trash.

“Yes, I came to take a look at the patient's condition. How is it? Is it better?”

Su Meng said happily, “Much better. Doctor Gao, your recommendation is still useful. I'm going to throw away the trash first. I'll also soak my master in Bone

Strengthening Powder. Have a seat first.”

Gao Lan responded and waited for Su Meng to leave before entering the ward.

Xu Bai, who was sitting on the bed and felt the sound of water in his stomach, listened to the conversation between the two women. He came back to his senses and looked speechlessly at Gao Lan, who had a ponytail and was wearing a white coat and silver-rimmed glasses. She walked to his bed with her hands in her pockets. The corners of his mouth twitched as he raised the

Madam's Oral Blood Tonic in his hand. “So, you recommended Su Meng to buy

What grudges, what grievances?

To think that I even agreed to be your fake boyfriend. Is this how you repay

171e?

Xu Bai was speechless.

Gao Lan glanced at the packaging at the side and then at Xu Bai. She wanted to laugh, but she restrained herself.

“Actually, you should be glad you're drinking this and not on an IV.”

“What do you mean?”

Gao Lan shrugged, tugged at her white coat, and sat by the bed. She looked at Xu Bai. “When you were sent to the ward, your disciple saw that Doctor Du refused to give you an infusion. He went straight to the nurses' station and tried to bribe those nurses to give you a blood transfusion. Otherwise, if I happened to be at the scene, your little disciple would probably have gone to the blood station to buy you a few bags of blood.” When Xu Bai heard this, he could not help but gape.

What the hell.

Infusion?

As Gao Lan spoke, she found it a little funny and shook her head. “After that, I had no choice. She asked me if I could transfuse blood. What kind of thing is good at replenishing blood? I just said it casually. Who knew that she would really buy it? This box is quite expensive. It costs about two thousand yuan.

Xu Bai was slightly taken aback by the price. “It's that expensive?”

He knew that the packaging was expensive, but he thought it would only cost a few hundred yuan at most. He didn't expect it to be so expensive.

Two thousand yuan per box?

This was daylight robbery.

Gao Lan turned to look at the door of the ward and turned back to look at Xu Bai, who was lying on the bed. She lowered her voice and said, “I didn't expect your little disciple to like you so much.”

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at Gao Lan, who had a slight smile on her lips and an inexplicable expression on her face as she said this. He shrugged. “I'm so handsome. Who wouldn't like me?”

If being handsome was a crime, then it was obvious that he was already a

heinous criminal.

When Gao Lan heard Xu Bail s answer, she rolled her eyes. However, she didn't continue on this topic. Instead, she asked curiously, “So what's wrong with you this time? The last time you were hospitalized, someone from Homeland Security came to look for you. This time, it was even better. It was someone from Homeland Security who sent you to the hospital.”

Xu Bai waved his hand and said, “Don't mention it.” Then, he stood up and wanted to throw away the empty bottle in his hand.

He didn't want to either.

Seeing that Xu Bai had stood up, Gao Lan reached out and took the empty bottle from Xu Bail s hand. After throwing the empty bottle away, she looked at Xu Bai, who did not intend to say anything and shook her head. “I don't want to say it, but you've been hospitalized very frequently recently.”

Xu Bai looked at Gao Lan helplessly. “Do you think I didn't notice this?”

He had noticed this when he first woke up.

But…

Whether he was hospitalized or not was not something he could control. It was not that he did not want to be hospitalized just because he wanted to. Besides, he did not have a good impression of the hospital.

The first time he came to the hospital in his life was five years ago.

And that time, he sent his parents away.

At the same time, it was also at that time that he saw his sister surrounded by many instruments in the intensive care unit.

“Oh yes.”

Xu Bai thought of his sister and looked at Gao Lan. “How has Lil Wei been these past few days?”

Gao Lan smiled and said, “Don't worry, I'm watching her. If anything happens,

I'll call you. As for you, be careful. It's only been a few days, and you're back.”

Xu Bai could not explain, so he could only nod. “Don't worry, it won't happen again. ”

Yesterday was an accident.

He didn't want to pretend to faint.

But…

Unexpectedly, someone from Homeland Security arrived.

After Xu Bai promised, Gao Lan did not say anything else. She looked at her watch and stood up. “Alright, I'm still on duty. I'll get going first.”

Xu Bai nodded. Just as he was about to say “Take your time”, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

“Lanlan. ”

“Is there anything else?”

Gao Lan, who had her hands in her pockets, turned around and looked at Xu Bai.

Xu Bail s expression became a little embarrassed. “Um… Can you lend me some money?”

Yes.

He was borrowing money.

He didn't have much savings to begin with. He had been working for almost two years. So far, including the cash on him, he didn't have more than five hundred.

That's the truth.

Basically, once his monthly salary was transferred, it would stay in his account for no more than 24 hours. Then, because the hospital was urging him to pay, he would transfer it to the hospital's financial account.

Therefore, Xu Bai originally thought that when the salary, bonus, and injury allowance were distributed next month, he would charge it into his sister's medical account. Then, he would use the remaining money to buy the herbs needed for the Essence Replenishing Pill.

In any case, he did not really need the Essence Replenishing Pill.

Right now?

Xu Bai felt that this Essence Replenishing Pill seemed to be a good thing.

so…

Only then did Xu Bai give Gao Lan an excuse, a little embarrassed. “Well, I should be able to return it to you when my bonus and medical allowance are paid next month.”

Gao Lan looked at Xu Bai suspiciously. “Don't tell me you're deliberately getting injured to cheat your agent of his medical allowance?”

Xu Bai was slightly stunned and almost sat up from the bed. “How is that possible? Our department's injury and illness allowance is only a day's worth of money. Is it worth it?”

Of course.

If it was the standard for federal agents to pay for injuries and illnesses, Xu Bai might have thought of staying in the hospital for half a month.

Unfortunately, federal agents needed to run across the country. It didn't suit him.

Xu Bai sighed in his heart.

Gao Lan looked at Xu Bail s expression and shook her head with a smile. “Alright, how much do you want? Is 100,000 yuan enough? I only have 100,000 on hand now. I'll put the rest of the money in my finances. If it's not enough, I'll borrow it from my brother.”

Xu Bai looked at Gao Lan, who had transformed into a rich woman who did not lack money, and opened his mouth.

He really wanted to say something.

Sister, I don't want to fight anymore.
