"Captain Lu—"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhan fell down in front of him so suddenly, and Song Yangyu immediately stood up to help him.
At the same time, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Fan Shengnan, with an anxious look on her face, rushed over, lifted Lu Zhan's other arm, and together with Song Yangyu, lifted Lu Zhan back to the bed.
"Nurse--"
"Quick! Get on the detector!"
Fan Shengnan took out a flashlight from her coat pocket and quickly opened Lu Zhan's eyes to check the pupil radiation. The nurse who rushed over after hearing the news also quickly tied the blood pressure cuff on Lu Zhan's arm and re-clamped the blood oxygen saturation probe on his finger. The two of them also quickly unbuttoned the buttons on the chest of Lu Zhan's military uniform and quickly put on the electrodes.
Only then did Song Yangyu see that Lu Zhan's chest was covered with five hideous scars. The sutures of the wounds were like long and thick centipedes, crawling all over his chest in a winding and twisting manner. The pink new flesh that had just grown out extended irregularly like a spider web along the healed wounds, almost filling his entire chest cavity.
After checking Lu Zhan's physical condition, Fan Shengnan looked up at the instrument and saw that the data was relatively stable. Only then did she turn around and glare at Song Yangyu and said:
"Are you satisfied now? Have you finished your questioning? Comrade, please leave now. We need to provide first aid to the patient!"
Just as she imagined, Song Yangyu, a so-called "leading cadre" who only cared about completing his own work tasks, would not care about the patient's physical condition at all.
Fortunately, she would take a look at the glass window at the door from time to time, otherwise she would not have discovered the problem with Lu Zhan so in time.
Song Yangyu frowned. It was not that he had any objection to Fan Shengnan's attitude, but he did not expect that Lu Zhan actually fainted. The doctors in the military hospital would definitely be able to tell whether he was faking illness or not.
Moreover, he hadn't expected Lu Zhan to cooperate with his inquiries with such a broken body. He saw that Lu Zhan was in good spirits, but he hadn't expected his injuries to be so serious...
Song Yangyu moved his lips and wanted to say something, but after seeing Fan Shengnan's angry eyes, he turned around and left the ward silently.
After closing the ward door, I could still vaguely hear Fan Shengnan's anxious voice coming from inside the ward:
"Prepare for the infusion..."
"Contact Radiology immediately..."
The nurse rushed out of the ward in a hurry, and soon called more nurses in, and then doctors from other departments also rushed over.
Song Yangyu stood not far away in the corridor, watching the doctors and nurses coming in and out of Lu Zhan's ward, his brows furrowed, with worry and doubt in his eyes.
When doing this job, he cannot have his own subjective judgment in his mind. Everything must be based on the most rational reasoning according to the objective evidence currently available. Even though Lu Zhan did save so many people from the flood, the doubts surrounding him remain unresolved.
Two hours later, Yao Wenbin, who was far away in the Ningshi Military Region, was called to the political commissar's office.
Political Commissar Liu had a serious expression and spoke in a low voice:
"Please contact Lu Zhan's family. They called from Henan Province and said they're going to perform brain surgery. They'll first ask for the family's opinion and then arrange for them to come over and sign for confirmation."
Yao Wenbin opened his eyes wide as if struck by lightning:
"...How could that be? Didn't you say last time that we should observe for a few more days, and the blood clot would most likely resolve on its own..."
Political Commissar Liu's face was as gloomy as water:
"You ask me, but who should I ask?! Contact Lu Zhan's family immediately, there's no time to lose!"
"Yes! Political Commissar!"
Yao Wenbin's heart was beating like a drum. His eardrums were vibrating when he walked out of the political commissar's office. He was asked to contact Lu Zhan's family...
As far as he knew, Lu Zhan only had two family members, a fiancée and a sister. Logically, the blood relatives should be notified first, but these two people had no blood relationship with Lu Zhan.
Others didn't know, but Yao Wenbin, who was close to Lu Zhan, knew that his sister was picked up from outside by Lu Zhan's parents many years ago. She had no blood relationship with his family. Legally speaking, not even the adoption procedures were completed at the time. They just claimed to the outside world that she was Lu Zhan's biological sister.
Besides, his sister is still young and is currently living in her hometown to study. Even if she sends an expedited telegram, it will probably take two days to get back and forth. How can he afford to wait!
Yao Wenbin made up his mind and quickened his pace towards the message room.
......
"careful--"
Master Sun quickly grabbed the power cord of the microphone and pulled it back, which woke up Shao Jingque who had been distracted.
She looked down and saw that half of her foot was out of the edge of the stage. If she took another step forward, she would fall off the stage. She couldn't help but feel scared.
She quickly took two steps back, turned around and forced a smile from her face:
"Thank you, Master Sun, I didn't notice for a moment..."
The music stopped abruptly, and Teacher Sun walked over with a worried look on his face to pick up the microphone. Shao Jingque had been distracted several times that afternoon, which made him nervous.
If I hadn't been staring at her, I would have fallen off the stage!
"Xiao Shao, you don't look good today. Are you feeling unwell? If you are sick, don't force yourself to do it. Ask the team leader for leave and go to the hospital."
Shao Jingque also felt that he was not in good shape today. He became distracted while singing, his heart was pounding, and his ears were hot - could he really be sick?
She was about to nod in agreement when Xiao Wang from the reception office suddenly ran into the rehearsal room and shouted to Shao Jingque:
"Sister Jingque, there's a phone call!"
Shao Jingque's heart trembled inexplicably, and he handed the microphone to Master Sun. He walked quickly towards Xiao Wang and asked as he walked:
"Who's calling?"
Xiao Wang led her out, walking quickly, because the person on the phone said it was urgent:
"The other party said he was from the military district and wanted to see you urgently."
Shao Jingque's heart instantly jumped. Did the military district have something urgent to discuss with her?!
Did something happen during the land battle?!
Without hesitation, she immediately ran to the message room, completely forgetting that she was still wearing her performance high heels. She accidentally sprained her ankle while going down the stairs. Fortunately, there was a handrail next to her, so she did not fall down the stairs.
But she didn't bother to check her ankle, which was stinging unbearably. She just limped to the reception room and picked up the phone:
"Hello, I'm Shao Jingque. Who is looking for me?"
Yao Wenbin's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, but his tone was particularly low:
"Xiao Shao, it's me, Yao Wenbin."
"Brother Yao..."
Shao Jingque heard the heavy tone in his voice, and his heart sank. The words he had been eager to ask seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Yao Wenbin didn't expect that after hiding the news for so long, he would have to tell Shao Jingque such bad news. He felt very uncomfortable, but the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to think about it again.
"A call came from the Henan Provincial Military District Hospital... Lu Zhan's condition has worsened and he needs a craniotomy..."
