CHAPTER 198: 198: GU YATOU HAS BEEN TAKEN IN AS A CLOSED-DOOR DISCIPLE

The name of the Five-star Prince stunned Gu Tiancheng. Looking at Xue Zhengping’s serious expression, he realized this matter wasn’t simple and asked, "What does this have to do with Gu Tong?"

"It has everything to do with her!"

Xue Zhengping slapped his thigh and said, "Many students have graduated from the Royal Medical College, but why did I go to such lengths to recruit the girl Gu? Haven’t you thought about the reason behind it?"

Gu Tiancheng was taken aback. He really hadn’t thought about it...

Xue Zhengping rolled his eyes, though he didn’t expect this guy to figure it out by himself.

"Let me be honest with you! I went to the Imperial Capital earlier to attend the Royal Doctor exchange event, and I happened to chat with Mr. Bai Li. The old gentleman knew I was at the Academy Medical Center, so he mentioned Gu Tong, who he praised highly at the time!"

"Mr. Bai Li is a titan in the medical field! For him to commend a student from the First Academy is by no means a trivial matter. So, after hearing Gu Tong was your daughter, I sought you out, wanting her to join our Medical Center!"

"However, accidents happen. Elder Xue, you didn’t expect that she would be sought after by Li Yan..." Feng Yi chimed in, also surprised that Gu Tong had such abilities to catch the eye of someone like him!

"Yes! But at the time the die was cast, and I had no choice. I thought simply, this girl merely had some talent. It would be best to have her on board, but if not, then it wasn’t meant to be. But after talking with Xiao Ren, I realized things were far more complex than I imagined!"

As these words were spoken, the office fell silent. Gu Tiancheng and Feng Yi didn’t speak, instead looking to Xue Zhengping for an answer.

Xue Zhengping, trembling slightly, said, "Do you know what specialty this girl studied... Battlefield trauma, maxillofacial surgery, field surgery... These are subjects that only Royal Doctors on the battlefield would study..."

"That’s not right... My girl majored in surgical specialties..." This was the program Gu Tiancheng had enrolled Gu Tong in, and there should be no mistake.

"Don’t you know that in the Medical College you can also take elective courses? As long as you’re smart, no one will stop you from studying as many subjects as you like! Your daughter didn’t just study surgical courses; she mastered battlefield trauma, maxillofacial surgery, and field surgery, all with grades of A+!"

Graduating with multiple disciplines, his daughter turned out to be so outstanding...

Gu Tiancheng was completely dumbfounded.

Xue Zhengping was so frustrated he nearly cuffed Gu Tiancheng, regretful they missed such talent because of his ’false information’ error regarding Gu Tong’s records...

"It was precisely because my girl took multiple disciplines that she was mentored by Professor Bai Li..." Gu Tiancheng finally grasped the crux of the matter.

As a trainee, he also knew the difference between home-trained doctors and Royal Doctors on the battlefield. The difference was more than significant.

"Old Gu, you are only halfway right, but still thinking too simply."

Xue Zhengping paused and continued, "Earlier, I communicated with Professor Hao. He said Gu Tong has outstanding medical qualities and personally recommended her to Mr. Bai Li, wanting the girl to try her luck. But do you know the outcome? Mr. Bai Li, who hadn’t taken an apprentice in thirty years, actually accepted Gu Tong as his closed-door disciple..."
