As soon as the car drove out of the airport, the siren sounded and the car sped away.
Xia Ruofei and Song Wei sat in the back seat. Song Wei was trembling because of nervousness. Xia Ruofei held her hand tightly and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, how should I address you?"
The Air Force Lieutenant Colonel replied, "Mr. Xia, my name is Liu Tie. I'm a combat staff officer at the Air Force Sanshan Command Post!"
"Hello, Staff Officer Liu." Xia Ruofei asked, "May I ask... how is Uncle Song now?"
Liu Tie hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Song Wei through the rearview mirror and said cautiously, "I received the order to send you two to the Military General Hospital as soon as possible. I don't know much about the other situation."
Xia Ruofei looked at Liu Tie thoughtfully, then nodded.
Liu Tie didn't understand the situation at all. Xia Ruofei didn't believe him, but Xia Ruofei didn't want to ask about things that had nothing to do with the mission.
He was sure that Song Qiming's situation wasn't optimistic. Otherwise, Liu Tie wouldn't have hesitated to speak because of Song Wei.
Of course, there was one more thing that was certain. That was, at least before Liu Tie set off, Song Qiming was still alive. Otherwise, everything he was doing now would be meaningless. There was no need to take the risk of speeding on the highway.
Xia Ruofei patted Song Wei's hand gently and whispered, "Weiwei, don't worry. Uncle Song will be fine. Trust me!"
"Yes! Ruofei, you have to save my father! "Song Wei said.
"Of course! He's your father! "Xia Ruofei said," Don't worry! We'll be at the hospital soon... "
Xia Ruofei's words seemed to give Song Wei a backbone. She subconsciously snuggled up to Xia Ruofei, as if only by doing so could she have the strength to support herself.
Xia Ruofei sighed secretly. He comforted Song Wei, but he wasn't confident at all. He was really afraid that when they arrived at the hospital, they would face a cold body.
Xia Ruofei couldn't imagine what would happen to Song Wei if such a situation really happened. She would collapse, wouldn't she?
Although he was very anxious, Xia Ruofei didn't show it. Instead, he was very calm, which made Song feel a lot more at ease..
Usually, it would take about 50 minutes to an hour by car, but this sergeant reduced it to about 35 minutes.
In the inpatient building of the Military General Hospital, a sharp braking sound was heard. The Fierce Warrior off-road vehicle left two deep black brake marks.
Xia Ruofei hurriedly thanked Liu Tie and the sergeant. Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
A familiar figure stood at the entrance of the inpatient building with an anxious look. This person was Song Qiming's secretary, Cao Guangzhi. His head was also wrapped in bandages, and there was even blood faintly oozing out.
"Boss Xia, Song Wei, this way!" Cao Guangzhi said as soon as he saw them.
Xia Ruofei pulled Song Wei and quickly followed Cao Guangzhi. He asked, "Brother Cao, how's Uncle Song?"
This was the question he was most concerned about at the moment, and it was also a big stone hanging in his heart.
Cao Guangzhi was in a hurry, and he was slightly out of breath. He walked quickly and said, "The doctor is still trying to save him, but..."
Cao Guangzhi glanced at Song Wei. He gritted his teeth and said, "The professor in the neurosurgery department of the General Hospital said to tell the family to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid the secretary won't be able to make it..."
Song Wei's face suddenly turned pale. He swayed and almost fainted.
Xia Ruofei hurriedly supported Song Wei and said, "Don't worry... As long as Uncle Song is still alive, I will do everything I can to save him."
Song Wei also suddenly woke up. There was still Xia Ruofei! The most important thing now was to get Xia Ruofei to treat her father as soon as possible.
Song Wei had a kind of blind trust in Xia Ruofei. He believed that as long as his father was still alive, Xia Ruofei would definitely find a way. This belief was very persistent.
"Yes, Brother Cao, let's go faster!" Song Wei said.
There was a staff member of the Municipal Party Committee guarding the elevator. When he saw Cao Guangzhi and Xia Ruofei quickly walking over, he hurriedly pressed the elevator button.
When the three of them arrived at the elevator door, the elevator had just arrived.
Without saying anything, they quickly walked into the elevator. Cao Guangzhi quickly pressed the button for the fifteenth floor, which was the floor where the operating theater was located.
Xia Ruofei anxiously watched the elevator numbers jump up one by one. For the first time, he felt that the elevator was going up so slowly...
Finally, with a ding, the elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor.
The elevator door slowly opened. Xia Ruofei and the others quickly walked out. Song Wei saw his haggard mother standing at the door of the operating theater. A female staff member of the Municipal Party Committee was supporting her.
"Mom..." Song Wei said in a trembling voice.
Song Qiming's wife, Fang Liyun, heard her daughter's voice and suddenly turned her head.
Song Wei rushed over and hugged Fang Liyun tightly.
Fang Liyun said sorrowfully, "Weiwei, your father... he might not make it..."
Song Wei said in a trembling voice, "No... no... Dad is so young and so healthy. Even if he's injured, he can survive..."
Fang Liyun smiled bitterly and shook her head. She said, "Professor Chen said... when your father was sent to the hospital, the degree of his brain injury was severe. There were also many fractures all over his body... there was basically no need for surgery... However, Secretary Lin of the Provincial Party Committee personally instructed that your father's life must be saved at all costs. That's why the hospital decided to perform a craniotomy. But Professor Chen said... we should be mentally prepared and not have too much hope..."
Fang Liyun was sobbing when she said this.
Song Wei looked helplessly at the operating room that was still lit with the words "Operation in Progress" and then turned to look at Xia Ruofei.
According to Fang Liyun's description, the severity of the injury was basically a death sentence. The reason why the doctors performed a craniotomy was because of the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee. Moreover, Song Qiming's identity was special. If they didn't perform the surgery, the hospital couldn't bear the responsibility. Therefore, a surgery like this was more of a gesture and had no practical meaning.
At this point, could Xia Ruofei do anything?
Xia Ruofei took a step forward and said, "Auntie, is Uncle Song still in the operating room? I want to go in and take a look. Maybe I can help! "
"Yes! Mom, let Ruofei go in and take a look! "Song Wei said hurriedly.
Fang Liyun hesitated for a moment. The General Hospital had gathered the top experts in the hospital. Even the brain surgery experts from 301 Hospital were directly involved in the operation room through remote video. The emergency rescue was going on inside, and family members were not allowed to enter at this time.
Of course, Fang Liyun was Song Qiming's wife. If she insisted, the hospital wouldn't dare to stop her. But what if something went wrong?
Fang Liyun thought of Song Wei being infected by the terrible poison. None of the teammates who went to the tomb with Song Wei survived. Only Song Wei recovered completely under Xia Ruofei's treatment. This gave birth to a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Just as Fang Liyun was hesitating, the operating room light went off.
The crowd waiting outside suddenly became restless. Fang Liyun didn't have time to talk to Xia Ruofei. She hurried to the door of the operating room and waited anxiously.
Soon, the door of the operating room gently slid open. A doctor in a dark green sterile surgical gown took off his blood-stained gloves and mask as he walked out quickly.
"Professor Chen, how's Qiming?" Fang Liyun asked impatiently.
The chief surgeon, Professor Chen, was the head of the brain surgery department in the General Hospital. He was also a professor and received special subsidies from the State Council. His technical rank was higher than the president and political commissar of the General Hospital. He was a civilian major general.
He looked at Fang Liyun and said seriously, "Mrs. Song, we've cleaned up the blood clot in Mr. Song's brain and treated the bleeding point. But... his injuries are too serious. According to our judgment, his brain damage is very serious. He's close to brain death. I'm afraid..."
Fang Liyun suddenly felt her vision go dark. Her body swayed, and the female staff member from the Municipal Party Committee hurriedly supported her.
After Song Wei heard this, he was completely stunned. He couldn't believe that his father was gone just like that...
Everyone else, including Song Qiming's secretary, Cao Guangzhi, and the staff members of the Provincial Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee, were all shocked.
Xia Ruofei was the only one who remained calm. He took a step forward and said, "Professor Chen, I need to check on Mr. Song's condition immediately!"
"You are..." Professor Chen was stunned.
At this moment, a voice rang out, "Are you Mr. Xia Ruofei?"
Xia Ruofei turned around and saw a senior colonel in an army uniform. He didn't know who this person was, but he nodded and said, "I am..."
Song Wei and Fang Liyun hurriedly said, "He's Xia Ruofei!"
At this moment, Professor Chen and the others at the door of the operating room finally reacted and hurriedly greeted the senior colonel.
"Director Gao!"
"Director Gao, you're here!"
It turned out that this senior colonel was the director of the Military General Hospital, Gao Yuan. After he confirmed Xia Ruofei's identity, he nodded at Xia Ruofei and then said to Professor Chen, "Professor, take Mr. Xia into the operating room and cooperate with him fully!"
"Director, this..." Professor Chen didn't know how to react.
Gao Yuan said, "Professor Chen, this is an order from the head of the Joint Logistics Support Unit. Carry it out!"
Although Professor Chen was a highly respected expert, and even Gao Yuan, the director of the hospital, had to be very polite and respectful to him, he was also a soldier, and following orders was the duty of a soldier.
Therefore, although there were too many questions and doubts in his heart, Professor Chen still put on a straight face and said, "Yes, sir!"
Just as Professor Chen was about to invite Xia Ruofei into the operating room, Gao Yuan thought for a moment, then pulled Professor Chen aside and whispered a few words into his ear.
Professor Chen looked shocked. Gao Yuan gently patted Professor Chen's shoulder and said, "Old Chen, don't be in a daze. Do as I say. Remember, this is an order from the head of the hospital!"
Professor Chen immediately came to his senses. He nodded and said, "I understand, director!"
Then, Professor Chen said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, please come with me!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and followed Professor Chen. The two of them walked into the Operating Area.
As the door of the operating room gently slid shut, Song Wei grabbed Fang Liyun's arm tightly and said, "Mom! Don't worry... Ruofei will definitely find a way! "
Fang Liyun smiled bitterly and said, "Weiwei, we still have to be mentally prepared. If your dad … then we'll have to rely on each other in the future..."
Song Wei's nose twitched and he said, "Mom! Don't say anymore! Dad will be fine... "
...
In the operating room, Professor Chen walked along the corridor and said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, please come with me to disinfect and change into a sterile surgical gown..."
Xia Ruofei said, "Professor, saving lives is more important! Let's skip all these procedures! I have to see Uncle Song right now! "
If it had been any other time, Professor Chen would have vehemently objected to such an obvious and serious violation of medical procedures. In this operating theater, as the chief surgeon, he was the boss. Even Gao Yuan, the hospital director, could not enter the operating theater without disinfecting it.
However, he thought of what Gao Yuan had whispered to him just now. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay then!"
Professor Chen quickly brought Xia Ruofei to an operating room.
There were at least a dozen medical staff working in the room after the surgery. They were stunned when they saw Professor Chen walk in with a stranger without even changing his clothes.
Xia Ruofei saw Song Qiming lying on the operating table at first glance. To be honest, he didn't recognize him at first glance. Song Qiming's head injury was very serious, and his face was swollen. Moreover, he had just undergone a craniotomy and his hair was shaved. He was completely different from the Song Qiming he remembered.
Xia Ruofei said, "Professor Chen, I hope to be alone with Uncle Song for a while. Please..."
Professor Chen nodded and said, "Everyone, please leave first!"
In this operating room, Professor Chen's words were like an imperial edict. Hearing this, the medical staff stepped out without hesitation.
Professor Chen reminded them again, "Pay attention to the confidentiality of what happened today. No one is allowed to speak of it! Not even your family, not even your wife or children, understand? "
Professor Chen gave the order without hesitation. This was a military hospital, and the discipline was much stronger than that of a normal hospital. Hearing this, the doctors and nurses all nodded and agreed.
After everyone left, Professor Chen said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, I'll leave first. Oh right, in order to preserve the information, the operating room's recording system will always be on. Please understand. "
Xia Ruofei said casually, "No problem!"
As long as he didn't want to, even if there were a hundred cameras around him, they wouldn't be able to capture a clear image.
Professor Chen nodded and looked at Xia Ruofei deeply before he walked out of the operating room.
Xia Ruofei saw that the door of the operating room was tightly shut. Only then did he take a deep breath and step toward the operating table...
