He Zhichu stepped to the side and opened the door. He bent down to carry Gu Nianzhi out.
Chen Lie froze and turned to call for a stretcher.
He Zhichu ignored Chen Lie's scrutinizing gaze and carefully placed Gu Nianzhi on the stretcher. His gaze was gentle and loving, as if she was his most precious treasure.
Chen Lie pursed his lips and thought to himself that he was the one who saw this. If it had been Huo Shao …
He shuddered. Huo Shao had always been a man of few words. Now that he had gained experience, he wasn't happy with material things or sad about himself. He had never been as cold as He Zhichu. He always had a faint smile no matter who he was. It wasn't obvious and was almost invisible, but it made people feel like they were sitting on a spring breeze. They admired him from the bottom of their hearts and even submitted to him. They were only willing to listen to his orders.
He didn't seem unapproachable, but his calm and unperturbed appearance was even more unfathomable, causing others to be unable to make head or tail of him.
This was the quality of a true leader …
Even Chen Lie, who had been his brother and comrade-in-arms for so many years, couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
That was why Huo Shao was getting higher and higher, while Chen Lie was still stuck at the rank of senior colonel. It was difficult for him to advance any further.
Chen Lie shook his head and thought to himself that he really had nothing better to do. How could he think of such nonsense at a time like this?
He also knew very well that no matter how reserved Huo Shaoheng was, Gu Nianzhi would always be someone special to him.
There was no doubt about that.
Chen Lie followed the stretcher back to the ambulance and waved to He Zhichu. "Professor He, thank you for notifying us in time. I'll send you Nianzhi's condition after the hospital examination. "
He Zhichu folded his hands behind his back and looked inside the ambulance. Gu Nianzhi was lying on the stretcher and was already secured by several straps. No matter how the ambulance bumped, she wouldn't suffer any further injuries. He nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. Colonel Yin has my number if you don't know."
"Ok, I'll ask him," Chen Lie said politely and closed the back door of the ambulance.
Soon, the ambulance left the B University campus with its lights flashing.
Only then did the spectating students disperse.
It turned out that the girl had suffered such a serious injury!
No wonder Professor He had carried her …
The students who had secretly taken photos felt embarrassed, and most of them deleted the photos on their phones.
However, there were also a few people who were indignant and secretly kept the photos.
Especially the last photo of He Zhichu carrying Gu Nianzhi onto the stretcher. Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that he loved her deeply.
…
The ambulance flashed its lights and moved smoothly on the road. Soon, it arrived at the medical building of the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
Chen Lie opened the car door and got out. He found Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong already waiting at the entrance of the medical building.
He was still wearing the military uniform from the meeting. The military cap on his head was pressed low, covering his eyebrows. His deep eyes were extremely black, but also extremely bright, like a torch in the dark night. On the surface, there was a raging flame burning under the calmness.
He stood there calmly, his tall and strong body wrapped in a general's uniform. The seams of his trousers were perfectly straight, and the collar button was neatly buttoned without a single crease.
A stretcher was wheeled out of the ambulance, and Gu Nianzhi was immobilized by straps.
Huo Shaoheng quickened his steps to the stretcher and quickly looked at Gu Nianzhi.
"Where are you hurt?" Huo Shaoheng reached out to touch Gu Nianzhi's forehead out of habit.
When she was young, whenever she felt unwell, Huo Shaoheng would always touch her forehead to see if she had a fever.
This habit was deeply ingrained and had remained until now.
But she had hurt her tailbone, not a headache or fever!
Gu Nianzhi curled her lips and wanted to laugh.
But when Huo Shaoheng's warm palm touched her forehead, she couldn't laugh anymore.
An iron-blooded and unyielding man occasionally revealed a trace of warmth. No matter how strong her defenses were, she was completely defeated by his gentle touch that brought back memories of the past.
Gu Nianzhi lay on the stretcher and smiled at Huo Shaoheng. As she smiled, she realized tears were flowing down her cheeks.
Huo Shaoheng thought Gu Nianzhi was crying from the pain. Although he was extremely anxious, he only took out a tissue to wipe her tears. He then said to Chen Lie calmly, "Don't delay. Get her to the operating room now."
Chen Lie shuddered and didn't dare to joke with Huo Shaoheng anymore. He quickly turned to his medical staff. "Get into the elevator and get her to my special infirmary!"
His medical staff were all well-trained experts.
He didn't need to say anything else. They had already worked together to send Gu Nianzhi to Chen Lie's special infirmary.
Chen Lie performed a full-body CT scan on Gu Nianzhi as soon as she arrived to be safe. He was worried that other than her tailbone, there might be other problems.
But Gu Nianzhi's foundation was too good.
Although the fall had caused her tailbone to hurt unbearably, only her tailbone was severely fractured. Everything else was fine.
Chen Lie's CT results came out, and he carefully checked it twice to make sure there were no other problems before letting her return to the bed.
Because it was a bone problem, she was in a special bed this time. It was like an inverted human body. She could lie in it and maintain a motionless posture.
Under normal circumstances, someone with a severe fracture like Gu Nianzhi's would have to lie in a bed like this for at least three months to wait for the bone to heal.
But because of Gu Nianzhi's special constitution, Chen Lie felt that two weeks should be enough.
Huo Shaoheng had been waiting outside the ward the whole time.
He didn't speak. He held a cigarette in one hand and stood in the hallway facing the window.
It was still snowing outside, and the weather was getting colder. Huo Shaoheng only wore a woolen military uniform with a casual shirt underneath, but he felt extremely hot.
Even the cigarette in his hand couldn't calm him down.
Of course, no one could tell how anxious he was just by looking at his appearance.
He opened the window, and the cold wind and snowflakes rushed in. It was refreshing.
He wore a Bluetooth headset and was listening to the report from the Secret Service personnel next to Gu Nianzhi.
"Huo Shao, this is what happened this time. The situation was very chaotic, but fortunately, there were four of us and we could cover her from four directions. Therefore, when I realized that she might fall backward and hit the sharp rocks on the rockery, in a moment of panic, I hit her knee with a rock. This way, she wouldn't fall backward, but her center of gravity would shift and she would sit on the ground. "
After a pause, the person said carefully, "… Huo Shao, is Miss Gu's injury very serious? Did I make a mistake? "
The four of them were responsible for secretly protecting Gu Nianzhi.
In the past, they had easily resolved some of the small matters.
The last two times, however, had become more and more intense. This time, in order to prevent her from being more seriously injured, they had chosen a less damaging measure.
But she was still injured.
Compared to the consequences of hitting the back of her head and dying, the consequences of falling to the ground and not being able to move were unimaginable.
The Secret Service personnel felt that he had made a mistake and was very upset. "Huo Shao, you can punish me. I didn't do my job well. If I had appeared earlier, I could have directly sent her back to the dormitory. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't blame him at all. His voice was very calm and gentle. "It's fine. You did very well. You didn't do anything wrong. Why should I punish you? Because you saved Miss Gu's life, so I have to punish you? Do you think I'm such a muddle-headed boss? "
The Secret Service personnel didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to not blame him at all. He was so touched that his insides burned. The burly man's eyes actually heated up and tears flowed down his cheeks.
He quickly wiped them with the back of his hand and said as naturally as possible, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your understanding, Huo Shao. I'll be more careful in the future."
"You did very well. Don't blame yourself." Huo Shaoheng didn't continue the topic. Instead, he said, "From your report, Nianzhi has been in a lot of situations recently. Did you compare the frequency of these situations with the previous ones?"
The person quickly said, "The four of us were planning to have a meeting. It's been a bit strange recently. We'll write a report for you after we've summarized all the situations. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Ok, send it to my email when you're done." He paused and reminded them, "The sooner the better."
As soon as he hung up, Chen Lie called. "Huo Shao, the situation has been checked. You can come in now."
Huo Shaoheng immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand and turned to return to Chen Lie's special infirmary.
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi, who was lying on the hospital bed. He didn't walk over directly. Instead, he entered Chen Lie's office.
"How's the injury?" Huo Shaoheng sat in front of his desk and picked up the CT report to look at.
Chen Lie displayed the CT image and explained to him, "The fracture of the tailbone is very serious. To be honest, most people with this kind of injury will have difficulty moving for the rest of their lives."
Huo Shaoheng looked up at Chen Lie. He didn't say anything, but his gaze was so heavy that Chen Lie almost couldn't breathe.
He could only say, "Of course, Nianzhi is an exception. It's not like you don't know about her constitution. "
Huo Shaoheng looked down and grunted. "What will happen to her?"
"She'll be in bed for two weeks. She should be able to heal," Chen Lie said tentatively. The truth was, he wasn't sure how much it would heal. After all, this was Gu Nianzhi's first time having such a serious fracture.
It was just like the old scars she had when she was young. Although they had healed, they inevitably left scars.
Huo Shaoheng's grip on the CT report tightened, and he almost tore the report into pieces.
The corners of Chen Lie's mouth twitched. His heart ached as he looked at the data in his report. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on Huo Shaoheng and snatch his treasure from his hands.
Huo Shaoheng sat for a while before putting the report back. He stood up and straightened his military uniform. "… When she recovers, this report must be destroyed."
"Yes, Chief." Chen Lie nodded solemnly. He wasn't joking about something like this.
Huo Shaoheng nodded and turned to walk out of Chen Lie's office. He even closed the door to block his view.
Chen Lie was speechless.
Rubbing his nose, Chen Lie silently turned off the camera in the ward.
…
Huo Shaoheng came to Gu Nianzhi's bed and sat down. He held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "… Where does it hurt? Hmm? "
