"Sigh, I was wrong, but it's not a big deal. It's actually my first time doing this kind of surgery, so it's normal to make a mistake." Chen Lie boasted shamelessly as he stepped away from the door. "Go in, Mrs. Song is waiting for you inside." He looked like he wanted to avoid arousing suspicion.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood quietly at the door of Operating Room B for a while.
Chen Lie gave Gu Nianzhi a look, and they nodded at the same time. They snuck out of Operating Room AB and ran out the door, closing it tightly behind them.
"Is this okay?" Gu Nianzhi looked around with lingering fear. "No one else saw, right?"
"There are cameras and recording equipment in the public areas of this official residence." Chen Lie looked straight ahead and smiled. His voice was very quiet, but Gu Nianzhi was standing close to him and heard him.
"So it's true …" Gu Nianzhi mumbled, then stopped mumbling.
"You said you wanted to analyze the data with me. Hurry up and go, don't just stand there." Chen Lie pushed Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and ushered her to the small office on the other side to work for him.
…
At the door of Operating Room B, Huo Shaoheng finally resisted the urge to smoke and pushed open the door.
There were shadowless lights installed on the roof, illuminating the windowless room as if it were daytime.
A stunningly beautiful woman in a snow-white patient's gown leaned against the operating chair. She tilted her head slightly in the direction of the door, her eyes filled with anticipation, curiosity, and a trace of apprehension.
This was how he remembered his mother.
Huo Shaoheng calmed down.
He walked in and closed the door gently behind him.
Song Jinning looked up to see a tall, dignified man walk in.
When he looked up at her, she was momentarily dazed.
Was this incredibly handsome man really her son, Huo Shaoheng?
In her memory, Shaoheng was still that handsome, quiet twelve-year-old boy. He didn't speak much, but when she, his mother, was too busy in the lab to celebrate his birthday, he would sneak a few stops to visit her in the lab with a birthday cake, just to eat the cake with her.
That was all her son asked of her all year round.
She still remembered that the day the laboratory exploded 16 years ago was the day before Huo Shaoheng's birthday.
She wanted to end the experiment as soon as possible so that she could celebrate his birthday with him the next day and eat a piece of birthday cake together.
He didn't expect that sixteen years would pass just like that.
The boy from back then had grown into a mature and steady young man, completely different from what she remembered.
Huo Shaoheng walked over slowly and sat on a soft chair beside the operating chair. His expression had already returned to normal.
He nodded at Song Jinning. "Madam Song is awake?"
Song Jinning's eyes widened when she heard "Mrs. Song." She stared at Huo Shaoheng for a long time before she laughed dryly. "… Shaoheng? How big have you become? I wanted to eat your birthday cake with you the next day. "
Huo Shaoheng's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression was extremely natural as he said, "… Mother, you remember?"
"Yes." Song Jinning reached out to touch Huo Shaoheng's head, but Huo Shaoheng sat there motionlessly and had no intention of moving closer.
She could only shyly withdraw her hand and look at him almost greedily. She asked again, "How big have you become?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly. "16 years. Of course I've grown up." He then added, "Mother, you must have suffered all these years."
"Suffered?" Song Jinning tilted her head and asked in confusion, "You mean I was injured and ill for so many years?"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
So this was the "surprise" Chen Lie had mentioned?
Although Song Jinning had woken up, she had forgotten what had happened in the past 16 years?
Huo Shaoheng's thoughts only wavered for a moment before he quickly calmed down and remembered something else.
If Song Jinning could remember what had happened before the accident in the laboratory when she was awake, then wouldn't the military be able to find the real reason for the failed experiment 16 years ago?
No wonder Chen Lie had taken Gu Nianzhi with him when he left the operating room, leaving only the mother and son.
In other words, Chen Lie was expressing that he didn't want to know about what had happened all those years ago and didn't need to know.
What had happened all those years ago was a military secret and also a secret of the laboratory.
It should have been shared between Huo Shaoheng and Song Jinning.
Huo Shaoheng actually thought even further than Chen Lie.
He knew that news of Song Jinning waking up would spread after the New Year at the latest.
At that time, countless people would try their best to get Song Jinning away.
Song Jinning's only use to those people was the accident in her father's laboratory all those years ago.
If that part of her memory was intact, not only would she be able to unravel many of the secrets in their hearts, but she might also be able to repeat the parameters of the experiment and restart the top-secret experiment all those years ago.
The latter was far more useful than the former.
How could any experiment not fail?
The military understood this very well.
In order to make the experiment succeed, they were even willing to disregard what had happened in the past. As long as someone could reconstruct the experiment and make it a success, they would be able to tolerate and whitewash their mistakes, no matter how big the mistake.
So in order to divert the attention of those people from Song Jinning, Huo Shaoheng didn't mind sharing some of the firepower with her.
He was very decisive, and had already made up his mind.
"Ever since Mother was injured in the last experiment, she had a strange illness. She only had memories of before she was 18 years old. Every day after that, you would forget what happened the day before, so your memories were stuck at 18 years old." Huo Shaoheng briefly explained Song Jinning's illness for the past 16 years.
Song Jinning listened with a frown and murmured, "So that's how it is … So that's how it is … It seems that the magnetic field was indeed extraordinary."
She was the only experimenter who had survived the sudden explosion of the strong magnetic field, so she was also the only person alive to feel the consequences of the strong magnetic field.
"We don't know exactly why it happened, either. At one point, the doctor diagnosed that Mother had suffered a serious setback and shock, so she was suffering from a serious mental illness. " Huo Shaoheng glanced at Song Jinning's dry lips and stood up calmly. He poured Song Jinning a glass of water and placed it in her hand. "So Bai Jinyi volunteered to be a part-time psychiatrist to treat Mother's mental illness."
"Bai Jinyi?" Song Jinning held the glass of water with both hands, slightly startled. "My university classmate, Bai Jinyi? The Bai Jinyi who used to come to our house? "
"Yes, that's her." Huo Shaoheng nodded and said expressionlessly, "She's now Father's girlfriend, officially his girlfriend."
Song Jinning straightened her back and sat on the operating chair. When she heard Huo Shaoheng's words, for a few seconds, she felt like her brain was completely empty, like an empty box with nothing inside. But soon, tens of thousands of bees burrowed in and buzzed inside, making her dizzy and her expression changed again and again.
If Chen Lie were here, he would never have allowed Huo Shaoheng to say so much to agitate Song Jinning.
But in Huo Shaoheng's opinion, his mother had always been a strong woman. Hiding these things from her was the greatest harm to her.
"I didn't hear what you said just now clearly. Can you say it again?" Song Jinning elegantly placed the glass of water on the small table next to the operating chair. Although her face was still pale, there was not much change. "Is your father still a soldier?"
"Of course, he's already a general now." Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes. "Also, he divorced Mother ten years ago."

This is the first night watch. Dear friends, hurry up and give me your monthly and recommendation votes!
Uh, I went to the group yesterday to send red packets to wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, but I couldn't send red packets because of that scheming boy Tencent. In the end, I had no choice but to agree to the girls' request and make it up to them today.
So there will be three nights today. The second night watch will be at one o 'clock in the afternoon and the third night watch will be at seven o' clock in the evening. It can be considered a mid-autumn festival gift for everyone.
PS: Thank you "Mo Qianzhuan" for the gift yesterday. Muah!
