After passing through layers of checkpoints, Qin Yang's Ferrari drove deep into the military district sanatorium.

In a courtyard shaded by lush green trees, two elderly men with somewhat gray hair sat at a stone table, with a chess game spread out in front of them.

The two elders were fiercely engaged in the game.

One of them was Ruan Xinxue's grandfather, Ruan Zhengtian, while the other was an elder in traditional Chinese attire, sitting in a poised manner on a bench, continuously manipulating two smooth jade balls in his hand.

Behind the two elders stood two middle-aged men, one in military uniform with a shining star on his shoulder, the other with a square face, reserved eyes, and an air of authority about him.

However, at this moment, both appeared a bit reserved, smiling as they observed the fierce battle between the two old men.

Not far from the courtyard, there were also several guards and medical staff.

"Hehe, teacher, I'm going to take your knight."

The elder in traditional attire was all smiles, his jade balls spinning ceaselessly, with a look of anticipated victory.

"Hmph, old drunkard, if you want to take it, then take it."

Elder Ruan had a slightly somber expression, showing a bit of regret, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of hidden delight.

"Haha, then I won't be polite!"

The elder in traditional attire laughed heartily, pleased.

Snap!

The elder in traditional attire raised his "cannon" high and then dropped it heavily onto Ruan Zhengtian's "knight".

"Taken, haha, teacher, that bottle of Feitian Moutai you've been keeping is definitely mine today."

The traditional-attired elder was in high spirits, as his jade balls spun even more joyously.

"Hehe, that's not certain."

Elder Ruan's previous worried look disappeared as he smiled.

Seeing Elder Ruan's expression, the elder in traditional attire suddenly felt uneasy.

"You took my 'knight' with your cannon, leaving a gap here, watch me take your 'chariot'."

Elder Ruan laughed.

"Check!"

Elder Ruan moved his cannon to the baseline, smiling broadly.

The current situation was, if the elder in traditional attire wanted to save his general, he'd have to move him up by one rank, but once moved, his 'chariot' would be right under the cannon's aim, ready to be taken.

"Teacher, did you deliberately place this knight there to lure me?"

The elder in traditional attire frowned.

"Haha, what do you think? Otherwise, why would I let you take my knight for nothing."

This time, Elder Ruan laughed triumphantly.

"Tsk tsk, look at you teachers, so cunning."

The traditional-attired elder clicked his tongue, regretting repeatedly.

"Haha, old drunkard, you're a general, and you still don't understand the art of war deception."

With the upper hand, Elder Ruan was in high spirits, smiling broadly.

The two middle-aged men smiled, watching the two old men bickering.

"Little Tang, come judge, isn't this old Ruan too cunning?"

The elder in traditional attire, having lost the game, turned his gaze to the uniformed middle-aged man.

"Both old generals' chess skills are equally matched, both very superb."

Tang Aiguo smiled awkwardly, subtly changing the topic. Both old men were stars in the military, far beyond his ability to casually comment on. Being able to meet both elder statesmen at once was already a dream for many.

"You boy, just like this teacher, cunning as well. What do you mean equally matched, clearly I'm more skilled, *cough cough*..."

Elder Ding laughed and scolded, but suddenly had a flush of redness and began coughing violently. Seeing this, Tang Aiguo quickly patted the elder's back, and the two medical staff quickly approached.

At the courtyard's entrance, Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue walked in, noticing the two elders playing chess under the tree from afar.

"Qin Yang, the one playing with Grandpa is Grandpa Ding, Ding Wanfeng."

Ruan Xinxue directed her gaze to the tree and introduced to Qin Yang.

"Who are those two?"

Qin Yang nodded, glancing towards the two middle-aged men.

"The one in military uniform is Tang Aiguo, the commander of Yunshui City's military district, and the other is Zhao Baofeng, Yunshui City's City Party Secretary." Ruan Xinxue said.

Elder Ding had always resided in the Capital City, and now coming to Yunshui City, naturally, as the top leader and military commander, they had to come to visit the elder. When Elder Ruan came to Yunshui City, they also visited him.

"Little Divine Doctor, you're here."

At this time, Elder Ruan had already noticed Qin Yang and stood up with a cheerful smile.

Tang Aiguo and Zhao Baofeng exchanged glances, both with a trace of astonishment in their eyes. Who was this young man that even had the old leader standing up to greet him?!

"Elder, is your health better now?"

Qin Yang nodded at Elder Ruan, smiling as he asked.

"Haha, much better, feeling quite comfortable these days." Elder Ruan laughed heartily, very satisfied with his health status.

"Teacher, is this the Divine Doctor you've been talking about?"

Elder Ding eyed Qin Yang, the youth before him seemed only seventeen or eighteen, how skilled could his medical abilities be?

Tang Aiguo and Zhao Baofeng shared the same doubt, but since this was someone Elder Ruan recommended, they naturally didn't dare to say much.

"Old drunkard, hurry up and let the Divine Doctor check on you, coughing all day, I can't stand it anymore."

Elder Ruan nodded, smiling as he spoke to Elder Ding.

While Elder Ding was observing Qin Yang, Qin Yang was also observing Elder Ding, suspecting that his stroke of fortune might indeed come from this elder.

"Haha, alright then, I'll trust you this time, teacher."

Elder Ding laughed, having been friends with Elder Ruan for decades, since the war period, each serving as regiment leaders and often coordinating in battle. Elder Ruan wouldn't casually bring someone to treat him.

"Little Divine Doctor, tell me, how should I proceed?"

Elder Ding was frank, smiling as he asked.

However, the middle-aged doctor and nurse standing behind Elder Ding had a slightly scrutinizing and cautious gaze fixed on Qin Yang.

"Hehe, I know the elder enjoys his wine, so I specially brought a good bottle."

Qin Yang smiled, lifting a bottle of wine.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged doctor's face immediately darkened. Whose kid was this, being so reckless? Didn't he know that Elder Ding's illness was due to his fondness for alcohol?

Moreover, if the elder wanted wine, there was plenty of special supply, would he even look at your bottle?

The previous bet between the two elders over that bottle of Feitian Moutai was merely for amusement. Even if Elder Ding won, he wouldn't actually let him drink it.

As the chief physician for the elder, he had long advised against letting him drink, and now Elder Ding had been sober for a while.

Tang Aiguo and Zhao Baofeng both frowned, aware that while Elder Ding loved wine, his health couldn't afford it. No one dared to give the elder wine anymore, akin to giving poison.

This young man, even if wanting to flatter the elder, shouldn't bring wine.
