Divine Doctor's Harem
489 Helping the Veterans
Wang Chao looked at them with great admiration and uttered calmly, "Gentlemen, I did something for you, and I hope you won't hold it against me."
The five veterans' expressions changed upon hearing his words.
They had been focused on eating and had no idea what Wang Chao had done for them.
"No need to be nervous. I simply took a few photos of you while you were having breakfast and had someone investigate your backgrounds," Wang Chao candidly admitted.
While they were having breakfast, Wang Chao had taken photos of them and sent them to Zhang Long to investigate their identities. He discovered that they were a branch of the 48th Field Army under Sikong Yun, an absolute regular army!
He knew the stories of these five individuals very well.
However, Wang Chao felt sorry for investigating them without their consent.
"You investigated us?"
The five veterans' faces turned cold, and their expressions became hostile.
Their identities needed to be kept confidential, and by investigating them without their permission, Wang Chao inadvertently made them treat him as an enemy.
"Yes," Wang Chao openly admitted.
The Big Brother among the five veterans stepped forward, staring at Wang Chao coldly. "What are you trying to do? Do you know that it's illegal to investigate our backgrounds without authorization?"
"I know, but I investigated your backgrounds for your own good," Wang Chao explained.
"For our own good?"
The five veterans looked at each other, unable to understand what Wang Chao meant.
Just as they remained cautious of Wang Chao, a truck arrived and parked outside the breakfast shop. Zhou Xinghe got out of the driver's seat and waved enthusiastically to Wang Chao. "Brother, everything's been taken care of. Which gentlemen need prosthetics?"
Wang Chao smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Bring all the prosthetics here."
Zhou Xinghe obediently opened the back of the truck and took out several well-packaged cartons, placing them in front of Wang Chao. He unpacked them one by one, revealing the prosthetics inside.
Wang Chao picked up two prosthetics and walked up to the second-ranked veteran among the group. He sincerely said, "Old Two, I respect you as a hero."
"Therefore, these prosthetics for your hand and leg were specially selected to perfectly fit your body size."
Old Two had suffered severe injuries and had lost his left leg and right hand, making movement extremely difficult for him. He relied on others to support him and move around.
"These... are for me?" Old Two looked at the two prosthetics, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"Yes, please accept them," Wang Chao sincerely said.
Old Two suddenly realized something and immediately changed his gaze towards Wang Chao. "You... you investigated us to do this?"
"Yes," Wang Chao nodded.
"Brother, why waste time talking to them? If you're sick, you get treated. If you lose your limbs, you get prosthetics. It's such a simple principle," Zhou Xinghe, feeling displeased with their attitudes, stepped forward and forcefully pushed Old Two to the ground. With a few clicks, he installed the prosthetics for him.
Clapping his hands, Zhou Xinghe said, "Alright, try standing up and see if they fit."
Although Old Two was roughly treated, he didn't feel any anger.
Using the prosthetic for his right hand, he propped himself up and tried moving his prosthetic left leg. His eyes lit up with joy.
The prosthetics for his hand and leg fit him perfectly, making his movements incredibly convenient.
At least now, he could rely on his own abilities to move around.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Old Two came over and held Wang Chao's hand, expressing his gratitude through tears. "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'm truly grateful to you. You're my reborn parents."
Since returning from the battlefield, he had been dissatisfied with his situation.
His mobility was limited, and he couldn't take care of himself properly.
Even going to the bathroom required someone's assistance.
He had tried seeking approval from his superiors to get prosthetics, but they had rejected him due to budget constraints.
He had appealed repeatedly for a long time, but the issue remained unresolved, and he continued to live a life where he could not take care of himself.
Because of this, he followed his four comrades out of a certain garrison without even bringing his phone, intending to stroll around the city he had once protected and then have a good meal before finding a quiet place to end his life.
By doing so, they would not burden the country, and their loved ones might even receive compensation.
Now, Wang Chao had given him prosthetics, restoring his ability to move independently and igniting hope in his heart to live on.
That's why he held Wang Chao's hand tightly and warmly.
"You are welcome," Wang Chao replied calmly. While shaking hands with Old Two, he instructed Zhou Xinghe, "Zhou Xinghe, help these gentlemen with their prosthetics as well."
"Understood," Zhou Xinghe nodded with a smile and immediately proceeded to install the prosthetics for the other three individuals.
"I can walk now!?"
"What kind of prosthetics are these? They're amazing!"
"Hahaha!"
After the three veterans had their prosthetics installed, they regained their mobility. They embraced each other, laughing heartily, with tears streaming down their faces, overcome with joy.
Old Two witnessed their reaction and rushed over to join them, tightly hugging them and shedding tears.
Their meeting had originally been a gathering to seek death, but now, with Wang Chao's appearance, they saw a glimmer of hope to continue living.
"Alright, it's your turn now!"
Upon seeing their reaction, Zhou Xinghe smiled and took out two mechanical eyeballs. He approached Old Five, inserted the two eyeballs into his eye sockets, and activated them.
Two thin antennae extended from the mechanical eyeballs, piercing deep into Old Five's eye sockets.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Old Five immediately fell to the ground, screaming in excruciating pain while covering his eyes.
"Do not move!"
Zhou Xinghe's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Old Five's hands, explaining, "These are the latest mechanical eyeballs developed by our company. The antennae connect to your nerves and create a virtual retina, allowing your brain to perceive light from the outside."
"The activation process may be a bit painful, so bear with it."
"As long as the machine starts functioning properly, you'll regain your vision!"
Old Five had initially struggled, wanting to dig out the two mechanical eyeballs. But upon hearing Zhou Xinghe's words, he trembled all over.
Then, he stopped struggling and instead tightly clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, enduring the pain without making a sound.
"Can Old Five see things now?"
"Is this... is this real?"
Big Brother, Old Two, and the others heard Zhou Xinghe's voice and their expressions changed. They immediately looked over, their eyes filled with shock and anticipation.
Old Five had his eyeballs gouged out in battle, leaving him completely blind. And now, he could still see?
How was that possible?
