The X-ray showed that the displacement of the spine was very obvious, which meant that the condition was very serious.
After carefully looking at the X-ray, Chen Lie wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear and said to Gu Nianzhi, "Luckily, Huo Shaoheng tied you up with a seatbelt in the car so that you couldn't move. Otherwise, you would have been paralyzed …"
The worst thing to do with spinal injuries was to tie her up like Huo Shaoheng had done. She couldn't move at all and couldn't exert any force on her spine. That was the only way to prevent her injury from worsening.
Even if Chen Lie had been there, he would have made the same decision. He would have tied her up tightly and sent her to the hospital for corrective surgery.
"It's that serious?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't believe it. "I only bumped into that shopping cart, and I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. It was only because you patted me a few times that I felt like I was being pricked by needles. "
"Spinal injuries are like that. By the time you feel uncomfortable, it has already worsened to a certain extent." Chen Lie shrugged and looked down to pick up another medical record. He wrote quickly as he said, "I'm worried. I have to do an MRI on you to see how serious it is."
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and collapsed weakly on the round sofa in the corner. She murmured, "Can you not let Huo Shao know?"
Chen Lie grinned and said, "Of course … that's impossible."
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to speak anymore. She lay on the sofa motionlessly and kept thinking about how to appease Huo Shaoheng's anger.
…
Most people couldn't tell if Huo Shaoheng was angry or not. Even his personal secretaries and orderlies had always found it difficult to detect his emotional changes from his expression and eyes.
Gu Nianzhi was an exception. Perhaps she was more sensitive than others, or perhaps it was because she had grown up with Huo Shaoheng and knew him better than others.
Or perhaps it was because she had spent more time studying Huo Shaoheng than others.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong obviously didn't have the unique conditions that Gu Nianzhi had.
Both of them stood in front of Huo Shaoheng's desk and looked at him in confusion. "Huo Shao, Nianzhi's injury isn't that serious. You don't have to do this, right?"
Huo Shaoheng looked up at them. His entire body was hidden behind the shadow of the desk lamp, so his expression appeared a little dark. However, he would never admit that it was his mood that was dark. It was because he was in the shadow of the lamp that his expression appeared dark because of the lack of light.
His voice was still deep and steady as he tapped the desk rhythmically with the five fingers of one hand. He said calmly, "This has nothing to do with Nianzhi's injury. Xu Piaohong, as a member of the security force, knowingly broke the law. We were only fulfilling our duty as citizens and filed a complaint against her according to the law. "
Yin Shixiong glanced at Zhao Liangze. Zhao Liangze rubbed his nose and muttered, "You're the Chief, you're right, but Xu Piaohong really needs a lesson. Last time … "
He was referring to the time he had forced Huo Shaoheng's car to stop for no reason.
"Both last time and this time," Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "I've already warned her last time. If she does it again, she'll be punished for both crimes."
Yin Shixiong understood and quickly said, "Chief, I'll take care of it."
Of course, Huo Shaoheng couldn't personally deal with this kind of thing. Even the Special Operations Forces couldn't do anything about it. They could only use their people in the local departments to help.
Huo Shaoheng received a call from Chen Lie after he finished dealing with the matters here.
He said guiltily, "Huo Shao, I've wronged you. I'm afraid Nianzhi's injury is not as simple as it seems."
Huo Shaoheng was slightly taken aback. "Speak." His voice became deeper and deeper, like a heavy hammer. It hit Chen Lie so hard that he didn't dare to joke around with him anymore.
Chen Lie held the internal line and composed himself. He said in a low voice, "Come over. We'll talk face to face."
Huo Shaoheng's eyes narrowed. He held the pen in his hand and prepared to record it down. "What is it?"
"I just did an MRI on Nianzhi." Chen Lie looked at the results in front of him. "Her back spine … Almost every joint has been slightly displaced."
Huo Shaoheng suddenly used force and broke the pen in his hand in half.
He stood up from behind his desk. "It's just a bump. Is it really that serious?"
Chen Lie's voice became even lower. "Come over. We'll talk face to face."
Huo Shaoheng quickly hung up and left his office. He returned to Chen Lie's office on the sixth floor of the military base hospital.
Gu Nianzhi had already returned to the hospital bed. She wasn't in Chen Lie's office.
Huo Shaoheng walked to Chen Lie. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and tapped on his desk with the other. He urged calmly, "Hurry up and tell me. Don't keep me in suspense."
Chen Lie stood up and led Huo Shaoheng to his laboratory to talk.
It was more secluded and better equipped.
He placed the MRI results in front of Huo Shaoheng and said in a low voice, "… These spinal joint displacement conditions are not new."
"What do you mean?" Huo Shaoheng frowned. "It's not this time? But Nianzhi hasn't been injured before. "
"I know. That's why I deduced that it was caused during the years she lost her memory." Chen Lie's face was full of heartache. His round face was scrunched up. "Have you ever seen someone abuse a cat?"
Huo Shaoheng asked, "… What does this have to do with Nianzhi?"
"I've seen an abused kitten. Its four legs and tail were tied up, and it was thrown down from a high floor. The fall almost broke its spine into pieces. Nianzhi's condition is very similar to that kitten's. Of course, it's not as serious. It can also be said that it was the result of someone deliberately controlling the strength of the fall. All the bones in her body showed signs of being squeezed and distorted. Of course, her healing ability is also incredible. These are all old injuries. In fact, they have already healed. If it wasn't for the MRI, it wouldn't have been visible at all. That's why we never noticed anything wrong. "
"Tell me, who would be so cruel as to do such a thing to Nianzhi before she was 12?" Chen Lie was practically whispering into Huo Shaoheng's ear. These conditions were indeed not to be known to outsiders.
Huo Shaoheng was even more unwilling to let the military know about Gu Nianzhi's condition.
He clenched his fists. The darkness between his brows was like the sky before a storm. It was dark and lightless, and the wind and thunder were about to blow.
"… Could it have something to do with her family?" Huo Shaoheng enunciated each word carefully.
He was actively searching for Gu Nianzhi's family. If, even if there was only a one-in-five chance, Gu Nianzhi's family actually didn't love her like they thought. Then wouldn't finding her family be like sending a lamb into a tiger's den?
But if he didn't find them, he would never be able to get past the military.
Huo Shaoheng was a bit irritated for the first time.
He took out a cigarette and asked Chen Lie before lighting it up, "Can I smoke?"
Chen Lie made a "whatever" gesture. In fact, he also really wanted a cigarette. He understood Huo Shaoheng's determination to find Gu Nianzhi's family better than anyone else. But if the result was worse than not finding her family, how would they face it?
After finishing the cigarette, Huo Shaoheng made a decision. He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and said to Chen Lie, "Treat her injuries first. I'll go take care of the people that need to be taken care of. After that, we still have to find her family, but don't say that it has anything to do with Nianzhi. "
Find them first. If it really was someone who harmed her all those years ago, and Nianzhi had actually escaped, then he wouldn't let the person who harmed her go, even if it was her family.
