Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1546: Tacit Cooperation

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan looked at his watch and then made another call. He said,"… the people over there can be let through the traffic now."

Lu Jin glanced at him. "Whose can you let through the traffic?"

"Who else can it be? Those cardiology specialists of the Qin private hospital whom you call 'mentally retarded'…" Lu Yuan's hand tapped lightly on the steering wheel along with the rhythm of the music. His calm eyes glanced at Lu Jin's side.

Lu Jin frowned and pondered Lu Yuan's intentions."… You've blocked those idiots for almost an entire night. Why are you letting them come over now?"

"Why? Of course, it's to add to the chaos. Otherwise, how could we reasonably take Nianzhi away?" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him. He pushed open the car door and got out as he said, "Twenty-five minutes later, remember to hack into the internal system of West Camp Hospital, especially Nianzhi's intensive care unit, and erase her data. Remember, after you hack into it, you must be discovered by them and have the system automatically call the police, understand?"

Lu Jin nodded with a serious expression. "That's not a problem. It will be a piece of cake for me."

Lu Yuan did not want to continue listening to him, so he turned around and left.

..

Ten minutes later, the minivan of the Qin private hospital finally drove into the main entrance of West Camp Hospital.

The leading doctor was calling Qin Yaoguang. "Director Qin, we're finally here! We've been stuck in traffic all night! Is the patient still alive?"

Qin Yaoguang's voice sounded a little blurry, but they could still hear her orders clearly. "Go and take a look. She's my daughter after all. Call me when she's confirmed to be dead."

"Huh? She's your daughter? !" The doctor was so scared that he almost wet his pants. "Director Qin, Qin…"

"Don't panic. I'm not blaming you." Qin Yaoguang used an ice bag to cover her swollen face. When she spoke, it was as if there was an olive in her mouth. "She doesn't want to live anymore. No one can save her. Alright, you guys go up and take a look at her condition. Yesterday, a random doctor performed a heart surgery on her. I don't think the situation is optimistic."

The doctor was drenched in sweat. He felt that he had really narrowly escaped death.

However, he also felt that Qin Yaoguang's attitude toward her daughter was strange.

However, it was still someone else's family affair after all. They were all outsiders and could not afford to offend or interfere.

Intending to visit the patients on the sixteenth floor, a group of people showed their documents at the door.

They were holding the documents that Qin Yaoguang had gotten from He Chengjian the day before. After the guards had checked them, they let them in.

When they reached the sixteenth floor where Gu Nianzhi's intensive care unit was located, He Zhichu's slender and handsome figure was leaning against the wall by the door of one of the wards.

They quickly walked over and asked, "Young Master He, is this Miss Gu's ward?"

He Zhichu sized up these people from head to toe. When he saw the wrinkled white coats on their bodies and the nameplate on their chests, he asked coldly,"… You guys are the cardio surgeons from Z City's Qin Private Hospital?"

"Yes, Young Master He, we didn't mean to be late. There was an accident on the road, and we've been stuck here since yesterday!" The few doctors hadn't slept well the entire night, and the dark circles under their eyes and the fatigue on their faces complemented each other.

"There's no need for that. You guys can go back." He Zhichu did not care too much about them. They were all her subordinates, so he could not be bothered with them.

"Young Master He, please don't be like this. We know that Miss Gu has already undergone surgery. We want to see how her recovery from the surgery is going. I heard that she suffered a gunshot wound and that there were shrapnel in her heart. An ordinary person would not be able to perform this kind of surgery…"

"Yes, Young Master He. If you're really thinking of Miss Gu, then you shouldn't be afraid of treating her. Perhaps it's still not too late."

"We are the most considerate doctors. Please let us in to take a look."

A group of doctors crowded around He Zhichu and insisted on going in to see Gu Nianzhi's condition.

Although He Zhichu was also very worried about Gu Nianzhi, he knew that he couldn't let these people see how Gu Nianzhi's surgery was recovering.

If it was too shocking, it would be a disaster for Gu Nianzhi, not a blessing.

But these people did not give up. They squeezed in the corridor and tried to reason with He Zhichu.

He Zhichu was annoyed and impatient. He pulled out his gun and fired a shot into the sky, stunning these people."… Get out of here!"

These people were shocked. They stared at him blankly for a few seconds and did not dare to ask him for more. They exchanged glances and walked to the stairs in twos and threes.

Lu Yuan just happened to come out of the elevator. When he saw so many doctors walking over, he revealed a surprised expression and asked, "Are you all the attending doctors of lawyer Gu? I'm the CEO of the Lu Corporation. I came to visit her. I heard that her injuries are very serious?"

These doctors smiled bitterly and shook their heads. "We were stuck in traffic yesterday and did not get pass until today. We were not able to make it in time to perform surgery on lawyer Gu."

"Huh? How could that be?!" Lu Yuan looked anxious. He walked quickly to He Zhichu and asked, "Young Master He, didn't you say that they've already performed the surgery? What happened to those doctors?"

He Zhichu looked away coldly and said, "I don't need them anymore. Nianzhi is inside. Go and see for yourself."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly. "It's been hard on you, Young Master He. I'll come out after I talk to her."

He Zhichu pursed his lips. "Talk to her? She's not awake yet."

"Really? Then what should we do?" Lu Yuan looked at his watch. There were five minutes and twenty-seven seconds left until six hours, thirty minutes, and twenty-eight seconds.

He pushed open the door of the intensive care unit and walked in.

The Ace of the Far East heard the sound and suddenly turned around. He saw a tall, strong, handsome, but somewhat jaded man of age walking in.

He was slightly startled and stood up to say, "Please don't go near lawyer Gu's bed."

Lu Yuan stopped about a meter away from Gu Nianzhi's bed and reached out his hand to the Ace of the Far East with a very pleasant expression. "Hello, I'm Lu Yuan. My Company has a partnership with lawyer Gu's law firm."

The Ace of the Far East did not shake his hand. He just nodded lightly. "I'm Peter. Lawyer Gu risked her life to save me. I want to protect her until she recovers."

"Huh? She risked her life to save you? !" Lu Yuan was extremely surprised. "Lawyer Gu is just a little girl. She doesn't know how to use a knife or a gun. How did she save you?"

The Ace of the Far East blushed a little, but he was still very cold. "This has nothing to do with you. You've already seen lawyer Gu. You can leave now."

"But I still have something to do." Lu Yuan was very troubled. The fingers on his right hand could not help but twist a few times, and he clenched his fist and pulled it back, "Lawyer Gu's landlord and her boss, Jin Dazhuang, are both looking for her, but she's like this now. I really don't know how to explain it to them. I'll take the liberty to ask, when will lawyer Gu wake up?"

Ace of the Far East shrugged. "I'm not sure. She'll wake up when she should."

"Sigh, I don't have much time left either. My private plane will take off in an hour." He had just lifted his wrist to check his watch when the equipment in the ward suddenly started beeping.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The long and short sound was like a police siren. It was ear-piercing and loud, audible to the deaf.

He Zhichu pushed the door open and barged in. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened? Did Nianzhi's condition change? !"

At that moment, he regretted chasing away the doctors. Was his guess wrong? Was Nianzhi's surgery really delayed by a quack?

Lu Yuan looked at the equipment and his expression changed. "Someone hacked into the hospital's internal system. Look here, someone is reading the data of the surveillance equipment in Nianzhi's ward!"

He Zhichu was shocked and pulled out his gun without hesitation. He wanted to shoot at the equipment, but then he remembered that if the equipment was damaged, what would happen to Nianzhi?

The equipment was monitoring her condition. If the equipment was damaged, would Nianzhi be negatively affected?

"Why would someone hack into the equipment in lawyer Gu's ward?" Lu Yuan's Lu Corporation was a famous Internet security company, so his words were authoritative.

He Zhichu thought of the group of doctors who insisted on looking at the equipment data in Nianzhi's ward, and Qin Yaoguang, whose daughter was not dead yet and was about to use her body for "medical research,"and instantly felt that he was telling the truth.

"Of course there are people who won't give up," He Zhichu said with a cold smile.

He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard another sound coming from the equipment in the ward.

He turned his head and saw that the equipment in the intensive care unit was flashing green lights. This was the indicator light that the patient was about to wake up!

Lu Yuan looked at his watch from the side again. It was exactly six hours, thirty minutes, and twenty-eight seconds.

..

Gu Nianzhi's consciousness was in a state of confusion.

At first, she couldn't open her eyes. She only felt that her eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried.

Her legs felt like they were stuck in mud. They were wet and heavy, and she couldn't move at all.

She lay quietly for a while and gradually regained consciousness. Finally, she opened her eyes and saw Huo Shaoheng's unrivaled handsome face!

No, he was even more exquisite and handsome than she remembered Huo Shaoheng's face to be like!

"… Eh? Major General Huo ? Did you come to see me? Or am I dreaming again…" She muttered. Her gaze lingered on the face of the person in front of her for a while before she closed her eyes again.

The Ace of the Far East lowered his head and tucked her in. He smiled as he got up and said to the shocked He Zhichu, "Mr. He, she remembers me."

He Zhichu only wanted to chuckle.

She remembers you? Don't flatter yourself.

Hearing someone speak, Gu Nianzhi finally realized that she wasn't dreaming.

She opened her eyes again. This time, her vision had gone from blurry to clear. Yesterday's memories flooded into her brain like a tidal wave.

Her memory stopped at the last moment when she was talking to He Zhichu after getting shot.

After that, she was unconscious.

However, looking at the snow-white walls and ceiling in front of her, she knew that she was probably in the hospital.

When she woke up, the intense pain in her body was transmitted to her brain through her nervous system.

Her body was in so much pain that she could not stop trembling.

The sweat on her forehead immediately seeped out, and her snow-white teeth left a row of tiny bite marks on her lips.

Lu Yuan immediately leaned over and said, "Lawyer Gu, How are you?"

Only then did Gu Nianzhi see Lu Yuan. Her eyes flashed, and she asked weakly, "Director Lu, why are you here?"

"It's like this. First, I came to see you. When we heard that you were injured, we were all very worried," Lu Yuan said vaguely, "Second of all, the building in the south side of the city that you live in was recently bought by someone and is being demolished. Your landlord said that he didn't want to rent it anymore and asked you to cancel the contract. He promised to pay the termination fee and let you move the things away."

Gu Nianzhi blinked slowly, as if she was trying hard to process what Lu Yuan had said.

When the Ace of the Far East saw this, he said to Lu Yuan impatiently, "When can we not talk about this? Lawyer Gu needs to rest."

"Rest?" Lu Yuan smiled and pointed to the equipment that had been shouting just now. "Someone hacked into lawyer Gu's ward to read her post-operative recovery data. How else can she rest?"

Gu Nianzhi thought about her constitution and became nervous. Her voice became weaker."… I want to go home. CEO Lu, can you do me a favor and take me back to C City?"

She looked at Lu Yuan pitifully as if she was a homeless kitten, as if she was afraid that he wouldn't take her back.

"Lawyer Gu, can you travel long distances in your current condition?" The Ace of the Far East was very realistic and would not be moved by pleading unless it was reasonable.

Gu Nianzhi ignored him and turned to look at He Zhichu, who was silent. Her voice so soft that it was almost impossible to hear, she continued to plead. "… Young Master He, I can't stay here anymore."

He Zhichu looked at her carefully and said, "The room you rented is about to be demolished. Where are you going?"

He didn't dare say that he wanted her to go home with him. He knew that even if he did, she would reject him outright.

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and said, "I want to go back to C City with CEO Lu. Then, CEO Lu can help me rent a house to recuperate. — Young Master He, I'm recuperating. It's best if I stay at home."
