Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng out of his official residence and looked around.
Winter in the Imperial Capital had always been cold, and it had snowed heavily on Christmas Eve. The snow hadn't melted yet.
The black ground was covered in patches of snow. There were patches of black and white, and it had a unique flavor to it.
There was no snow on the road leading to the official residence, so there must be a temperature control device buried under the road.
They hadn't been out for long when they saw a motorcade drive in again.
"Sir, Senior Colonel Chen Lie has arrived!"
Huo Shaoheng nodded and folded his hands behind his back as he stood with Gu Nianzhi and watched the motorcade stop on the path in front of the official residence.
The door of the first car opened and Chen Lie stepped out with a large suitcase.
He still had a round face, a round nose, and round eyes. He wore round black-rimmed glasses and his figure was even rounder. He looked even fatter than a few months ago.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but open her arms and walk over to hug him. "Brother Chen, it's so good to see you!"
Chen Lie smiled and patted her back. "Brother Chen missed you too. Nianzhi, how are you? How have you been? "
"Let's talk inside." Huo Shaoheng pulled Gu Nianzhi over and turned to walk towards the main entrance.
Chen Lie chuckled and chased after them with the suitcase. "Huo Shao! Is this the attitude you use to beg? Nianzhi and I haven't seen each other in a long time. What's wrong with a hug?! Do you have to turn around and leave just like that?! "
Huo Shaoheng glared at him. "Hurry up and prepare for surgery. We don't have much time."
Chen Lie pouted. "What do you mean we don't have much time? Are you looking down on my medical skills or something? Come on! Let's fight on the operating table! Let's see whose scalpel is better! "
Gu Nianzhi turned around and blushed at Chen Lie. "Brother Chen, why would Huo Shao want to compete with you? Do you dare compete with Huo Shao in marksmanship? "
"Go away! I know you only care about your Uncle Huo … "Chen Lie winked at Huo Shaoheng meaningfully. He then noticed that Gu Nianzhi had changed the way she addressed him." Why aren't you calling me Uncle anymore? Aren't you afraid Huo Shao will beat you up? "
"Huo Shao never hits me." Gu Nianzhi looked proud. "Brother Chen, you don't understand …"
"Yes, yes, yes! I don't understand, only the two of you do! I wish that you have no wings of the Flying Rainbow Phoenix, and that your hearts are of one mind. Is that alright? " Chen Lie was sensitive to the change in the atmosphere between Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Sure enough, Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at him. He continued to walk forward with a calm expression. His military posture was ramrod straight, unlike in the past when he would glare at him and warn him when he teased him like this.
However, Huo Shaoheng didn't respond, so Gu Nianzhi retorted bluntly, "Brother Chen, don't be so literary. If you have the time, read your medical books more. Don't read those messy poems and lyrics. Even if you read them a hundred times, Dr. Ye still wouldn't understand."
"Shut up!" Chen Lie caught a glimpse of Ye Zitan's silhouette appearing on the steps of the official residence in front of him. His face was pale with anxiety, and he glared at Gu Nianzhi to stop her.
Gu Nianzhi nodded proudly. "Brother Chen, you reap what you sow. If you dare tease Huo Shao again, I'll go bully Dr. Ye! "
Huo Shaoheng glared at her. With just one glance, Gu Nianzhi obediently shut up and obediently walked forward with him.
Ye Zitan was nearby watching them walk over. Chen Lie didn't dare to tease Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi anymore. However, he wasn't willing to be controlled by Gu Nianzhi like this. He muttered quietly, "What is love in this world? It's like tofu in brine. Everything has its vanquisher."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
The three of them arrived at the steps of the official residence. Ye Zitan saluted Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie. "Sir, the operating room is ready."
Chen Lie and Huo Shaoheng's expressions immediately turned serious.
"Where's your mother?" Chen Lie asked Huo Shaoheng first.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Ye Zitan. "Dr. Ye took my mother in just now."
Ye Zitan quickly said, "The patient has been anesthetized. She's in Operating Room B."
Chen Lie nodded and looked Gu Nianzhi up and down, then back at Huo Shaoheng. "Did you tell Nianzhi everything?"
Huo Shaoheng understood what he meant and grunted. "Nianzhi, are you ready?"
"I'm fine," Gu Nianzhi replied immediately. She even took off her coat and rolled up the sleeves of her cashmere sweater to reveal her fair, delicate arms. "Look, I'm ready anytime!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
Chen Lie smiled as he pulled Gu Nianzhi's sleeves down. "Let's go. Follow me in."
Gu Nianzhi followed Chen Lie into Operating Room A.
Ye Zitan was wearing a full set of sterile surgical gowns and a pair of surgical gloves that reached her elbows. Her face was covered with a large blue surgical mask. She was fully armed as she waited beside a very high-end operating chair.
This operating chair had been personally designed by Chen Lie. It was custom-made by the Imperial Military's most skilled craftsmen and the most advanced factory.
It was more convenient to use and had more functions than a surgical bed.
Outside Operating Room A was a small lounge and pantry.
Chen Lie put down the box and had two orderlies in sterile surgical gowns carry it into the back room while he spoke to Gu Nianzhi from the outside.
"Nianzhi, are you really ready? You're volunteering, right? " Chen Lie asked very seriously. "Don't worry about Huo Shao. Tell Brother Chen, are you really willing?"
Gu Nianzhi's smile faded and she also said very seriously, "Brother Chen, I'm really sincere. I want to help Mrs. Song. I want her illness to be cured. If I can really help her, don't be soft-hearted. Take as much bone marrow as you need. I'm young, I'm not afraid. "
Chen Lie looked at her emotionally and closed his eyes. He murmured, "Nianzhi, you … you won't blame us, will you?"
"Why would I blame you?" Gu Nianzhi didn't understand. "You saved my life, and I originally had no way to repay you. Now that I have a chance to repay you, I'm more than happy. What are you talking about, Brother Chen? "
Chen Lie grinned. "Yes, Brother Chen is overthinking things. Good job, Nianzhi! Come, go to the sterilization room inside and stay for five minutes. When you come out, change into surgical gowns, then go to the back room and find Dr. Ye. She'll give you general anesthesia. "
Gu Nianzhi listened attentively and repeated the steps and process to Chen Lie before walking to the sterilization room inside.
Chen Lie went to the men's sterilization room on the other side and changed into a full surgical gown. He went to room A to assemble his sophisticated instruments.
Ye Zitan helped him from the side, and the two of them worked together to quickly prepare the surgical instruments he needed.
"Mrs. Song is in room B. The anesthesia has been completed," Ye Zitan reported to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie went to room B to check on Song Jinning, who had already fainted, and drew a few more vials of blood. While waiting for Gu Nianzhi, he also checked Song Jinning's blood routine.
The data was, of course, inconceivable and defied common sense.
Chen Lie shook his round head and sighed. "Actually, so many people want to go against their growth! But who knew that if they really went against their growth, even their intelligence would grow! "
A 30-year-old with an 18-year-old's IQ, or an 18-year-old with an 8-year-old's IQ. Which combination would you want?
These were all choices that made one's balls hurt …
Ye Zitan had been very nervous, but when she heard Chen Lie's words, she couldn't help but giggle.
Both of them wore surgical masks that covered most of their faces and hats, so they could only see each other's eyes.
But to Chen Lie, seeing Ye Zitan's smiling face was enough to make him very satisfied.
"Yes, that's it. Smile more and don't be too nervous." Chen Lie instinctively comforted Ye Zitan.
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi changed into surgical gowns and went from the sterilization room to operating room A. She called out, "Dr. Ye?"
Ye Zitan quickly replied, "Coming!"
She quickly walked to operating room A and led Gu Nianzhi to lie on the operating chair. Then she put a mask on her face.
Gu Nianzhi fainted in a second.
Ye Zitan took out a thick needle and inserted it into the back of Gu Nianzhi's spine.
…
Huo Shaoheng stood in the middle of the living room and looked at his watch. According to the timetable Chen Lie had given him, it was time for the surgery to begin.
He calculated the time and waved for Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze to come in. He ordered, "Big Xiong, take a company of armed guards and set up a perimeter 500 meters away from the base. No one is allowed to enter for the next three hours."
Yin Shixiong froze but didn't ask why. He immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Chief!"
After Yin Shixiong left, Huo Shaoheng ordered Zhao Liangze, "Take the electronic unit and monitor the movements of the Imperial Capital Garrison Troops for the next three hours. Report to me immediately if there's anything out of the ordinary. Also, here's a list of names. I want their phones, landlines, and all electronic network equipment, as well as the nearby surveillance cameras. I want them all under your surveillance. "
Zhao Liangze took the list and saluted, "Yes, Chief!"
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze didn't understand why Huo Shaoheng had made such an arrangement at first.
It wasn't until 15 minutes later that Zhao Liangze discovered the phones of the people he was monitoring were frequently contacting each other.
The communications of the Imperial Capital Garrison Troops were chaotic for a while, but were eventually suppressed by some big shot. There were no signs of troops being mobilized.
In the end, only the SWAT team from the police headquarters was successfully mobilized to the 6th Military Region's base.
Huo Shaoheng received Zhao Liangze's message and immediately turned on his computer to monitor Yin Shixiong's situation.
The Deputy Secretary-General of the Imperial Central Government Secretariat, Bai Changhui, and his sister, Bai Jinyi, were rushing over with a hundred SWAT team members.
…
At the same time, in a professor's building at B University, He Zhichu sat in front of a table and looked at the photos in front of him. His expression was frighteningly cold.
The photos were of Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
The photo in the middle was of a snowy Christmas Eve. Huo Shaoheng, dressed in military uniform, was quietly hugging Gu Nianzhi under the streetlights.
There was another photo of Gu Nianzhi lying in his arms with a face full of longing.
The most recent photo was of the two of them shopping in Scion Square. Gu Nianzhi was beaming with joy while Huo Shaoheng looked back at her calmly. The love in his eyes was overflowing …
