General Xiao comforted his wife as he looked sadly at Chen Lie. He said carefully, "Little Chen, I've never begged you for anything in all these years. But this time, I'm begging you. Use your best techniques and methods to save my daughter. She is not only my daughter, but also a precious talent of the country. "
Chen Lie hung his head awkwardly. "I've tried my best. Now we need to see the results of the follow-up rehabilitation."
As they spoke, the door to Chen Lie's office was pushed open. Huo Shaoheng stood at the door.
Seeing that General Xiao and Director Chen were here, he stood at the door and did not come in. "Did I come at a bad time?"
He knew that Xiao Ye and Chen Lie were cousins. Xiao Ye's mother was Chen Lie's aunt.
It was obvious that the relatives were having a conversation, and he didn't want to get involved.
General Xiao turned around and saw him. He hurriedly said, "It's okay. We were just talking about Xiao Ye's situation." As he said this, he pulled Director Chen to stand up.
President Chen wiped her tears with the tissue Chen Lie had given her and nodded at Huo Shaoheng.
Chen Lie said, "My aunt and uncle are asking about Xiao Ye. Major General Huo, are you also here to ask about Xiao Ye?"
As soon as the surgery was done, he knew that Zhou Qiyuan had called Huo Shaoheng to report Xiao Ye's injury.
Huo Shaoheng grunted. "I just finished work over there, so I came over to see how Colonel Xiao is doing."
Chen Lie sighed and glanced at General Xiao and Director Chen. His gaze returned to Huo Shaoheng and he said expressionlessly, "It's not very optimistic. Although his life isn't in danger, it's impossible for him to recover to his previous state. "
As he spoke, he recounted Xiao Ye's injuries, "… The bullets have all been removed. They didn't injure her bones, but they did a lot of damage to her muscles. The bones of her left wrist are shattered. It's impossible for her to recover."
He couldn't even carry heavy objects in the future.
Huo Shaoheng knew Xiao Ye's skills very well.
He pursed his lips. "Thank you, Chen Lie."
Chen Lie nodded. "I'll do my best. It's my duty."
The people in the room were silent for a while. Director Chen stood beside General Xiao and murmured, "… Xiao Ye entered the military academy at the age of 17. She had only been there for two years when she heard Huo Shao's speech and was determined to join the Special Forces. After that, she left home. In these ten years, she almost never came back. I … I thought that she had sacrificed her life for the country … "
Not only did she come back alive, but she also brought back a large amount of information. Her military rank also rose again and again. She became a colonel before the age of 30, and she was even a colonel in the combat forces. Her rank was many times higher than that of a civilian colonel.
General Xiao also said in a low voice, "… I am proud of my daughter."
A treasure that had been lost and regained suddenly became incomplete. The impact of this regret was sometimes even more painful than losing it completely.
Director Chen leaned against his chest and began to cry silently again.
Huo Shaoheng stood beside them and said calmly, "Don't worry. The Special Operations Forces will not give up on any soldier. We will do our best to save her. "
President Chen stopped sobbing and was quiet for a while. She lowered her head and took out her phone. She didn't look at Huo Shaoheng but spoke to him. "Major General Huo, is there really no other way? My Xiao Ye … is a very ambitious person. Back then, she ignored our objections and insisted on joining the newly established Special Operations Forces. She risked her life to complete missions for the country and made so many contributions. Let's not talk about the face of her contributions, just look at how loyal she is to you and how she risked her life for your fiancée … "
General Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped her. "Stop talking! Xiao Ye's protection of Miss Gu is a mission given to her by the organization. What are you saying? "
President Chen gripped her phone even tighter, and her mind was in a fierce struggle.
She didn't know if she could succeed, but since someone said that Huo Shaoheng had a way to cure Xiao Ye without leaving any sequelae, as a mother, could she just let it go?
After thinking about it, President Chen raised her head and looked at Huo Shaoheng with her red and swollen eyes.
It was a mother's sorrowful and pleading gaze.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't ignore it, nor could he.
His body stood even straighter, as if there was a steel pillar supporting his spine.
"Major General Huo, I'm begging you …" President Chen took a deep breath and stared into Huo Shaoheng's eyes. She enunciated each word clearly, "I heard that you have special resources that can help my daughter recover from her injuries. I hope that you can use these resources on my daughter!"
Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie looked at each other quickly and then looked away.
Huo Shaoheng took a step back and said calmly, "President Chen, don't be like this. I said that as long as we can do it, I'll definitely get Chen Lie to think of a way. But you have to be mentally prepared. After all, Xiao Ye's injuries … "
Those physical injuries couldn't be reversed and recovered.
At least with their current medical standards, they couldn't do it yet.
President Chen let out an "ah" and looked extremely disappointed. "Major General Huo, are you really unwilling?"
General Xiao held her arm and sighed. "Don't try to trick me. Let's just tell Major General Huo and Little Chen the truth."
President Chen gripped her phone even tighter.
"Major General Huo, don't think too much. When you become a parent in the future, you'll understand how we feel. As parents, they can really do anything for their children. "General Xiao shook his head." Actually, it's like this … "
He reached out to take the phone from President Chen's hand, but President Chen wasn't willing. She kept shaking her head and muttered, "Don't … don't say it … it won't work if you say it …"
"Forget it. We're all soldiers. We don't do such crooked things." He forcefully took the phone from President Chen's hand and opened it to Huo Shaoheng. "Look for yourself. You'll understand why Xiao Ye's mother said that."
Huo Shaoheng was actually mentally prepared, but when he looked down and saw a text message on President Chen's phone, his heart sank.
On President Chen's phone, someone had sent her a text message an hour ago.
[Kind Person]: President Chen, your daughter's injuries can be healed as long as Major General Huo is willing to help you. He has special resources that can help your daughter recover.
Huo Shaoheng's hands trembled slightly, and the lines of his jaw were extremely firm.
He had never expected that someone would send such a seemingly kind but actually extremely vicious text message.
President Chen looked at Huo Shaoheng eagerly. "Major General Huo, I beg you …"
Huo Shaoheng suppressed the rage in his heart and said calmly, "President Chen, do you know the person who sent this text message?"
President Chen shook her head. "I don't know him. This phone number is from C City. We're not familiar with each other. "
Huo Shaoheng forwarded the text message to his phone and handed it back to President Chen. "So, do you believe him or me?"
"What do you mean?" President Chen and General Xiao looked at each other in confusion.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and said calmly, "I said that I would use the best resources of the special operations forces to save Colonel Xiao. Isn't that enough?"
"… But, you also said that she might not be able to recover." President Chen was very persistent in hoping that her daughter could recover to the state before she was injured. "But this person said that you have a way …"
"That's what I said. Do you believe this stranger's sowing discord, or do you believe me?" Huo Shaoheng stood beside Chen Lie calmly.
Chen Lie lowered his head and returned to his desk. He looked at the computer expressionlessly.
"You mean, you don't have special resources to help my daughter recover?" President Chen suffered a heavy blow and couldn't even stand steadily for a moment.
General Xiao quickly supported her with a serious expression. "I think so too. Someone wants to use such an ambiguous text message to sow discord in our team. Major General Huo, don't worry. We won't be fooled by such nonsense. "
"I believe that with General Xiao and President Chen's status and wisdom, they won't be fooled by such a person." Huo Shaoheng leaned against Chen Lie's desk and blocked Chen Lie's view. He said calmly, "If he really thinks that I didn't use the resources to save Colonel Xiao, let him confront me face to face."
"He doesn't dare to come out and confront him. He sneakily sends text messages behind his back and uses ambiguous words to mislead others. This kind of behavior is not what a gentleman would do."
