520: Misleading

Misleading

Anyone could hear that she was displeased with the interruption. It was forthright, even more so than her previous remark, which was slightly veiled in the form of a humorous jab.1

"Sure." Jiang Yao nodded. "Who wants to volunteer?"

Everyone knew that the instructor on the stage was Captain Lu's wife. The moment she asked, as if in-sync, they turned and looked at Lu Xingzhi.

Zhou Junmin, meanwhile, was busy riling the audience up. "Come on, Captain, go! Your wife needs you!"

Lu Xingzhi retracted his frosty glare on Lin Shunhe and stood up. Straightening his uniform, he walked toward the stage.

Only when he was next to Jiang Yao, he quietly grabbed her hand and asked in a low voice, "What should I do? Lie down?"

Jiang Yao was surprised, she did not expect Lu Xingzhi to hold her hand in front of everyone. She yanked her hand back and turned back to see the crowd below, with some of them trying to suppress their laughter. Slightly flustered, she ruffled her hair and nodded.

Jiang Yao continued her demonstration after Lu Xingzhi lay down on the floor. When discussing chest compressions, she put her hands on top of his ribcage and said, "Your hands must be straight, they cannot bend. Press forcefully and quickly move your hands up. Ideally, you want to have eighty to a hundred presses in a minute."

As she was speaking, she was also demonstrating the motion with her hands. Although she did not actually press on Lu Xingzhi's chest.

She was just about to do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when Lin Shunhe called out from the audience.

"Doctor Jiang, I did not see the supposed strong pulses from your presses," he said. "You are misleading the crowd."

Lu Xingzhi abruptly sat up and stared at Lin Shunhe. So, he was determined to cause trouble tonight just because he did not get the instructor position?

He was aware of the fact that the position of a training instructor was a much sought-after role among doctors. Conducting training for the military was especially appealing as the compensation was amazing and the title of the job itself was prestigious.

As an army doctor, Lu Xingzhi understood Lin Shunhe's desire for the position.

But it did not mean that he would allow him to provoke Jiang Yao again and again.

It was obvious that he was taunting her by the interruptions and by calling her Doctor Jiang derisively.

Lu Xingzhi immediately walked toward Lin Shunhe only to be pulled back by Jiang Yao. She said coldly, "The entire platoon knows that my husband is still recovering from his heart injuries. You wanted me to push it down hard, for what reason? Do you want to kill him using my hands?"

Jiang Yao stood up straight, her spine as rigid as the giant redwood tree. "If I were a stubborn character and actually did what you told me to, would you feel better if something were to happen to my husband? Would you feel that you are finally of use here as a doctor?"
