Chen Lie's surgery was finally over, ten minutes earlier than expected.
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was now even more at ease with Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi.
He raised his white-gloved right hand and waved. The armed guards immediately retreated to their hiding place.
Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi immediately felt less pressured.
"What do you think? Have you thought it through? What good will it do you to go against the Administration and the military? You climbed to the rank of Major General at such a young age, yet you don't cherish it … "Bai Changhui began to use his usual carrot and stick tactics against Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng listened to him calmly, then said coolly, "I can return those words to you."
"What do you mean?!" Bai Jinyi was extremely impatient. She had always been obsessed with scientific research. Although the crucial experiment had not yielded results, she had achieved many successes in other areas. Otherwise, she would not have become the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics.
She had been in academia for so many years, and with the protection of the Bai family, she was not as well-versed in the ways of the world as her brothers. Her temper was not difficult to control.
She had waited for so long without achieving her goal. She was in a terrible mood.
Huo Shaoheng still did not look at her. He only said to Bai Changhui, "Deputy Secretary-General Bai, I stand by what I said. I'm on vacation to visit my family and spend a few days with my mother. You can look it up. What law says I can't do that?"
"But that document …" Bai Jinyi rubbed her hands anxiously and walked towards the police line. "It says I'm responsible for this."
"You'd better wait for the court summons." Huo Shaoheng finally turned his gaze to Bai Jinyi. His eyes were piercingly cold, devoid of any warmth. "Director Bai, we need to settle the score for the past 16 years." He turned abruptly and shouted, "Anyone who crosses the police line without a permit will be shot on the spot!"
Bai Jinyi did not stop in time and tried to run forward. Just as she reached the police line, Yin Shixiong casually fired two shots at her.
The silenced handgun made a popping sound and splashed dirt around Bai Jinyi's feet.
Bai Jinyi screamed and fell to the ground. Her legs were too weak to stand.
"Director Bai, military orders must be obeyed. Don't make things difficult for us." Yin Shixiong warned the Bai siblings with a weird smile.
Bai Changhui knew they couldn't take Song Jinning away this time. He hurried over to Bai Jinyi and pulled her up. "Forget it, Jinyi, let's go home."
"No! I don't want it! I'm taking Song Jinning with me! Why … "Bai Jinyi screamed hysterically, as if she had gone mad.
Pa!
Bai Changhui couldn't take it anymore and slapped her across the face. "Jinyi, wake up! We can talk when we get back! Don't embarrass yourself here! "
Bai Jinyi was stunned by Bai Changhui's slap.
She covered her face and stared at Bai Changhui, speechless.
"Take her away," Bai Changhui ordered his subordinates, pointing at Bai Jinyi. "Go home now!"
Huo Shaoheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly walked to his bulletproof car.
Fan Jian started the car and drove to the official residence.
The second company of guards they had brought with them rode their motorcycles that were parked in a well-hidden parking lot and followed behind Huo Shaoheng's bulletproof sedan.
…
"Good morning, Chief!" The guards standing at the entrance saluted Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng raised his arm and strode inside.
He looked straight ahead as he walked through the living room to the suite that had been specially prepared for the operating room.
Gu Nianzhi was in Operating Room A, and Song Jinning was in Operating Room B.
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi as he passed by Operating Room A. She was still lying in the operating chair, her face pale and her lips pale to a pink hue.
Ye Zitan came out of Operating Room B with a surgical tray and stopped when she saw Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, the surgery is over." She looked at the unconscious Gu Nianzhi and praised her. "Nianzhi was amazing and brave. She donated a lot of bone marrow to Mrs. Song."
Huo Shaoheng grunted and asked, "Why isn't she awake yet? Does it hurt? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi's face and thought it was strangely pale.
Ye Zitan smiled awkwardly and said quietly, "Of course it hurts when the bone marrow is extracted."
Huo Shaoheng's eyes immediately sharpened. "Didn't Chen Lie say it wouldn't hurt after the anesthetic?"
"We used anesthetic gas, but it wasn't a complete anesthetic. She woke up during the second extraction … "Ye Zitan didn't dare lie to Huo Shaoheng. She didn't even dare to hide a word from him. She had been nervous and blurted out everything, including Chen Lie's instruction not to tell Huo Shaoheng everything.
Huo Shaoheng was slightly moved. He glanced at Gu Nianzhi again before walking to Operating Room B.
In Operating Room B, Chen Lie stood alone in front of the computer and entered various observation data. He only had to wait for the follow-up in a week to know Song Jinning's recovery.
He looked up to see Huo Shaoheng standing silently in front of him and quickly forced a smile. "Huo Shao, it's done?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded. His expression was a bit gloomy. "Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt after the anesthetic?"
Chen Lie immediately understood that Ye Zitan had told Huo Shaoheng the truth … This silly girl … Chen Lie wanted to laugh bitterly.
He forced a smile and pushed his round glasses up his nose bridge in an attempt to change the subject. "Huo Shao, it's a miracle! Nianzhi's bone marrow matched Mrs. Song's almost flawlessly. There was no rejection at all! I'm already 99% confident in this surgery! "
Huo Shaoheng snorted and leaned forward. He placed both hands on the table where Chen Lie's computer was and said coldly, "Chen Lie, you can't build the success of the surgery on lying to others."
Chen Lie was speechless.
He felt a bit guilty. The bone marrow extraction was very, very painful, and for the sake of the surgery, he hadn't used general anesthesia.
In addition, the operation required bone marrow extraction not just once or twice, but many times. It was indeed … not very kind.
But he had kept it from Huo Shaoheng for his own good.
Was he going to give up the surgery just because it would hurt and they couldn't use complete anesthesia?!
Of course not!
He and Huo Shaoheng had prepared for this surgery for six years. He would never give up no matter what!
Now he was talking to him about whether it would hurt or not. He must be out of his mind …
"Huo Shao, be careful. Where's your decisiveness? Where's your cold-heartedness? " Chen Lie rolled his eyes at Huo Shaoheng and looked down to pack his things. He said coldly, "Also, I wasn't lying. Nianzhi isn't a child. She's much smarter than you think. She knows what's important."
"She's very afraid of pain." Huo Shaoheng said instinctively. He straightened his back, his posture a bit stiff. "I promised her that it wouldn't hurt."
"It didn't hurt at first, but the anesthesia wore off. You weren't wrong. "Chen Lie hummed a tune as he brushed Huo Shaoheng off." Ok, go check on Mrs. Song. Dr. Ye and I will stay here today to observe Mrs. Song's condition. I'll be completely relieved when she makes it through tonight without any complications. "
As long as there was no rejection, Song Jinning's body would automatically begin repairing the damaged genes once Gu Nianzhi's hematopoietic stem cells were absorbed by her body.
Of course, this process couldn't be completed in a day or two.
It would take at least a week for Song Jinning to fully wake up.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him before walking to the operating chair Song Jinning was lying on.
Her complexion looked much better than Gu Nianzhi's. Her skin was rosy and delicate, and her features were stunningly beautiful.
16 years seemed to have frozen in time. There were no signs of aging on her at all.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Song Jinning with a complicated expression. He reached out to adjust the blanket covering her.
"Take Nianzhi away. She doesn't have to stay here. She'll wake up in a bit. If she's in pain, she'll feel better if you're by her side. "Chen Lie smiled as he suggested. He looked like he really wanted to" atone for his mistakes. "
Huo Shaoheng ignored him and looked at Song Jinning silently. He left Room B and went to Room A to carry Gu Nianzhi horizontally to his bedroom.
He had just placed Gu Nianzhi on the bed when she woke up. She tugged at his sleeve and whimpered, "Huo Shao, I'm in pain. Can you please comfort me?"
Her eyes were shockingly bright. Her large eyes were filled with tears, but no tears fell. She looked at Huo Shaoheng quietly.
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He couldn't refuse such a request.
He sighed and climbed onto the bed as well. He held her in his arms and patted her on the back. "Be good. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt."
