The gesture made his students' and protégés' jaws hit the floor. Every one of them stared at Gu Jiaojiao in terror.
The director was a refined-looking gentleman of nearly seventy, dressed in a white coat and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He had studied abroad in many countries in his twenties. Today, he was not only the general director of the military region's main hospital but also held several other posts, overseeing the treatment and emergency medical care for various important departments of the Empire.
He usually appeared very stern, treating every doctor the same way. In the surgical community, he was a highly respected senior figure.
For a long time, he was unsurpassed. It was only in the last two years that Professor Xia had surpassed him in certain aspects.
