Chapter 96 I made an exception for you, and my heart was in turmoil for you.
"Send Commander Lu back to the military hospital immediately! Quickly!" Li Hu, his eyes red, reached out to help Lu Jingyan up.
"no!"
A cold, unquestionable voice, like a bucket of ice water, was poured over Li Hu's burning head.
He turned around abruptly and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, holding their officer in her arms.
It is Atractylodes macrocephala.
Her face was completely drained of color, and her once-smiling and aloof peach blossom eyes were now filled with an unprecedented chilling frost.
"What did you say?"
Li Hu's voice trembled, half from anxiety and half from anger.
"If you don't send him to the hospital, do you want your superior to die here?!"
Bai Shu slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze immediately pierced Li Hu's heart.
"Sending him to the military hospital is the only way to kill him."
She spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice not loud, yet it carried an absolute authority that was impossible to refute.
"He was hit by a specially made bullet; the bullet was poisoned, and you can't cure it."
poison?
Li Hu and the soldiers around him were stunned.
They only knew it was a gunshot wound; they never imagined there could be such a treacherous method involved!
"How...how did you know?" a soldier asked instinctively.
Bai Shu didn't answer him, but stared intently at Li Hu with her cold eyes:
"Now, first, clear the area immediately. Take all the survivors here, including that killer called Ghost, leave no one alive."
"Second, put Lu Jingyan in my car and go back to the Peace Hotel immediately."
"Third, contact Du Kangnian and tell him that I need a clean room, as well as all the medical equipment on my list, and that it must be ready within ten minutes!"
She spoke very quickly and clearly, and her powerful aura of control left everyone present stunned.
Li Hu hesitated.
Entrusting his superior to a woman of unknown identity? If something goes wrong, he'll be held responsible to the death!
"Boss Bai...this..."
Bai Shu was too lazy to waste any more words. She bent down, pulled the blood-stained Type 54 pistol from Lu Jingyan's waist, skillfully released the safety, and pointed the dark muzzle directly at Li Hu's forehead.
"I'll say it again, do as I say." Her voice was completely flat.
"Or, would you like to go down and keep him company now?"
A chilling killing intent, almost tangible, instantly enveloped Li Hu.
He saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood in this woman's eyes.
This woman has definitely killed someone!
And there's more than one!
Under immense pressure, Li Hu broke out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to give in.
His intuition told him that this woman might be the boss's only chance of survival.
"……yes!"
Li Hu forced out the word through gritted teeth, "Everyone, do as Boss Bai says! Quickly!"
The top floor of the Peace Hotel.
Du Kangnian transformed the living room of a presidential suite into a temporary operating room in the shortest possible time.
The floor and walls were covered with sterile cloth, the glaring shadowless lights were set up, and trays of medical instruments gleaming coldly were neatly arranged on the trolley according to the list prescribed by Bai Zhu.
The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant and a tense atmosphere.
"Everyone, get out."
Bai Zhu stood at the door, her voice weary but still cold.
“Boss Bai, I…” Li Hu was worried and wanted to stay.
"go out."
Bai Shu didn't even look at him, but simply repeated it.
Li Hu was forced to take a step back by her aura that kept strangers at bay, but in the end, he still led his men to stand guard outside the suite like door gods.
Zheng Kai and Du Kangnian also left, with the latter considerately closing the door behind them.
The door clicked shut, separating the two worlds.
In the room, only Su Wantang and Lu Jingyan, who was lying on the bed with a weak breath, remained.
Unable to hold on any longer, Su Wantang swayed and had to lean against the wall to avoid falling.
She looked at the man's pale face on the bed, her mind in turmoil.
There was no time to hesitate.
With a thought, Su Wantang instantly transferred Lu Jingyan, along with the bed, into the Begonia Space.
The warm, humid air, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees, instantly enveloped her.
Ignoring her own condition, she staggered to the spring, quickly fetched water, and carefully cleaned the wounds on Lu Jingyan's back.
The wound was raw and the edges were black, clearly indicating that it was highly toxic.
A miracle occurred when the clear spring water came into contact with the wound.
The blackened tissue visibly began to regain a trace of color, and the black blood that had been seeping out gradually stopped.
Su Wantang dared not be careless, so she pried open his mouth again and fed him a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water to protect his heart meridian.
After doing all this, she realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
After resting and adjusting her breathing in the space for a while, and waiting until everything was ready, Su Wantang moved Lu Jingyan out of the space and put him back on the bed in the temporary operating room.
She took a deep breath, put on sterile gloves and a mask, and walked under the operating light.
At that moment, she was no longer Su Wantang, nor Bai Shu.
She was just a doctor.
A doctor who tries to snatch people from the clutches of death.
Tweezers, hemostats, scalpels...
The cold instruments seemed to come alive in her hands.
Remove the bullet, clean the wound, and suture it.
Her hands were incredibly steady, and every movement was as precise as a textbook.
Only the fine beads of sweat constantly seeping from her forehead and her pale lips beneath the mask betrayed the turmoil within her heart.
Time passed, second by second.
Outside the door, Li Hu and the others paced back and forth anxiously, like ants on a hot pan.
Du Kangnian and Zheng Kai also looked solemn, and neither of them dared to utter a sound.
The entire floor was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of the people could be heard.
Meanwhile, in another secluded teahouse in Shanghai.
"Smack!"
A fine blue-and-white porcelain teacup was smashed to the ground by Huo San Niang and shattered into pieces.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
Her chest heaved violently with anger, and her well-maintained face was contorted with rage and resentment.
"You can't even catch a woman, and you've even captured the 'ghost' alive! What good are you bunch of good-for-nothings that the master keeps around!"
One of his men knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to raise his head: "Third Sister, please calm down... It's Lu Jingyan! He didn't leave at all; we fell for his trap!"
"Lu Jingyan!" Huo Sanniang muttered the name, her teeth itching with hatred.
Just then, another subordinate rushed in from outside, a strange excitement on his face.
"Third Sister! Breaking news!"
"explain!"
"During the gunfight, Lu Jingyan was shot while protecting Bai Shu! He was seriously injured and his condition is currently unknown!"
What?
Huo Sanniang was stunned at first, then a surge of joy welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter, her laughter sharp and triumphant.
"Hahaha! Great! This is wonderful! It's like heaven is helping me!"
She licked her lips menacingly, her phoenix eyes flashing with a venomous light.
"Without Lu Jingyan as her protector, let's see how Bai Shu can run rampant in Shanghai!"
"Pass on my message: have everyone keep a close eye on the Peace Hotel! Once Lu Jingyan is dead, make your move immediately! I want that little bitch to suffer a fate worse than death!"
In the operating room.
When the last stitch was tied, Su Wantang cut the thread.
The surgery was successful.
She looked at the man on the bed. Although he was still unconscious, his breathing had become steady and strong, and some color had returned to his face.
At this moment, the nerves that had been stretched to the limit finally relaxed completely.
An overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over her, her vision went black, and she slid down the wall to the floor, completely drained.
Su Wantang slowly raised her hands, her gloves stained with Lu Jingyan's blood, warm and sticky.
She broke too many rules for him.
She exposed her medical skills for him, she was anxious for him, and even... she picked up a scalpel herself for him.
This has seriously violated her survival principle of "I want to live well, safety first".
His last words before he fell into a coma echoed in her mind like an inescapable curse.
"Got you... Wan Tang."
He found out.
He knows everything.
Su Wantang hugged her knees, burying her face in them, her mind a jumble of emotions.
This man, in the most foolish, silly, and resolute way, smashed down the strongest wall she had built for herself using the identity of "Bai Shu".
Now, the wall has collapsed.
What should she do?
