The famous doctor Bob looked at Gu Ran's ankle and was stunned for five seconds! Mai Fu had never seen the best orthopedic doctor in the South be so "helpless"! Mai Fu's heart sank, "Doctor Bob...is it...serious?"

Doctor Bob took a deep breath, "Oh my God... I can't say it's serious..."

Finished...

The next sentence must be "that's quite serious"...

Mave's tears welled up instantly.

Among all the employees of Southampton Club, Maverick has had the longest contact with Gu Ran and has the deepest feelings for him.

Now that Gu Ran's foot was broken, even the best orthopedic surgeon in the entire south was "helpless", and Gu Ran's career was about to come to an end! Mai Fu was not only sad for Gu Ran's future, but also for his own future.

Originally, he could have risen to fame with Gu Ran, the rising star, but now, it was all over! Just as Mai Fu raised his hand to wipe his tears, he heard Dr. Bob exclaimed: "From your description and the swelling of your ankle, Mr. Gu Ran must have been seriously injured! But... judging from the external wound, it seems to be healing soon!"

Maifu covered his mouth and said sadly: "Yeah, it's almost healed... Huh?!"

Mave thought he was hallucinating! "Doctor Bob? What did you just say?"

Doctor Bob repeated solemnly: "Yes, if you had brought him here a little later, the wound would have really healed."

Mave said angrily, "Dr. Bob, I respect you very much, but don't you think it's too much for you to joke in this situation?"

Doctor Bob took off his mask and pointed at the wound on Gu Ran's ankle. "You are a doctor too, take a look yourself."

When Mai Fu looked down, he was stunned for a moment!

What, what’s going on?

On the pitch, Mai Fu had seen the shocking scar on Gu Ran's ankle with his own eyes! But now, just over half an hour had passed, and the scar had not only stopped bleeding, but the wound seemed to have been perfectly sutured by God, leaving only a narrow, shallow wound.

“This, this…”

Even with all his medical knowledge, Mai Fu was unable to explain this situation!

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said with a very real feeling: "I have to thank my exclusive team doctor Mai Fu for this. He adopted extremely professional and correct treatment methods as soon as I was injured. His medication and bandages were even more magical. I thought I was doomed, but under Dr. Mai Fu's professional treatment, my wounds healed quickly and I can move my feet! If you don't believe me, just watch!"

As he spoke, Gu Ran shook his injured ankle.

"Wow!" Mai Fu almost fainted with fear, "Gu! For God's sake, don't move!"

Doctor Bob said, "Mr. Gu Ran can move his ankle on his own, which means there is nothing wrong with his bones and Achilles tendon. This is really amazing. Judging from the muscle tissue around his ankle, Mr. Gu Ran should have been seriously injured, but the current situation shows that Mr. Gu Ran's injury is not as serious as we thought."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "How should I put it, Dr. Maifu, you really deserve to be the number one doctor of our Southampton club."

Doctor Bob couldn't help but look at McFadden, "...quite capable!"

Maf suddenly felt like he was drifting in a daze.

He had already prepared for the worst, but... in the blink of an eye, he became a miracle doctor? This must be a dream! Mai Fu secretly pinched his thigh.

...Fakmi!

This is not a dream! This is really not a dream!

Maifu was grinning with excitement, and his micro-expression management was out of control! Life's inexplicable ups and downs are so fucking exciting! "Of course," Dr. Bob continued, "We can't judge the problem of bones, muscles and tendons with the naked eye. We also need to take an X-ray to see the condition of the bones, and then use a CT scan to check the superficial conditions, and then use an MRI to check for possible hidden dangers in the deep layer. We not only need to check Mr. Gu Ran's ankles, but also his knees and waist to ensure that there is no mistake."

Mai Fu said dazedly: "Of course..."

Dr. Bob waved his hand, and a doctor next to him came forward and reapplied medicine to Gu Ran.

I have to say that the doctors at Southampton University Hospital are indeed more professional than the team doctors.

But in Gu Ran’s heart, Mai Fu is still the “number one miracle doctor”.

Otherwise, I really can't explain why I was not seriously injured despite being so seriously injured.

Soon, Gu Ran was sent to the scanning room for various professional scanning examinations.

With the reputation of Southampton Club, Gu Ran will naturally receive the best treatment.

The scan results came out very quickly - the bones, Achilles tendon and ligaments were all fine, just the soft tissue around the ankle was bruised, at most a minor injury!

Seeing the test results, Maverick gasped.

Mai Fu witnessed the scene of Gu Ran being knocked to the ground with his own eyes.

At that time, Gu Ran's ankle had been twisted and deformed to the extreme, and Eddie Palmer, that greenhorn, kicked very heavily and didn't hold back at all.

If it were any other player in the team, he would be disabled. Even if he wasn't disabled, he would at least be out for half a season.

But Gu Ran, although he had suffered extremely serious injuries, did not suffer any broken bones, only minor injuries of soft tissue contusion.

This is simply a medical miracle!

And it was a medical miracle that he had witnessed with his own eyes! With such an injury, he only needed to rest for a week at most, or even less than a week, before he could resume training!

Sitting in a special ward that was as luxurious as a five-star hotel, Mai Fu looked at the scan report, looked at Gu Ran, looked at Gu Ran, and then looked at the scan report again, his face still full of disbelief.

Mai Fu couldn't help but ask, "Gu, how can you be okay?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mai Fu, don't be so modest. Isn't it because your medical skills are so miraculous?"

"I... cough cough." Mave held his forehead with his hand. "Indeed, I am quite confident in my medical skills. But..."

Mai Fu suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly, "I figured it out! This must be related to your own physique! Gu, have you never been easily injured since you were a child?"

Gu Ran blinked and said realistically: "How... did you know?"

Mave said excitedly, "That's right! You must have a gifted physique! The kind that is extremely unlikely to get injured, and even if you get injured it won't hurt your bones! Hahaha! God bless Southampton! God bless! Gu, you are one in a million! Do you know how lucky it is for a professional athlete to have a gifted physique?"

Mave danced with excitement.

Gu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got through with it...

I'm really a genius! Gu Ran cleared his throat and said with a sense of reality: "Ah! So that's how it is! It turns out that I am gifted! However, I think in addition to my talent, it is also thanks to your usual care for me, Mai Fu."

Maverick was so flattered that he became a little carried away, "Hahahaha! Right, right, that's it! That's it!"

At this moment, Old Rice rushed into the special ward with a group of senior executives and reporter Evelyn.

When Gu Ran saw Old Rice and Evelyn, he immediately struggled to sit up straight.

"Oh my God! My Gu! Don't move!" Old Rice rushed to the bedside and pushed Gu Ran onto the bed.

Evelin also rushed over at the same time and held down the other side of Gu Ran’s body.

It is not difficult to see from old Rice's anxious expression that he is really worried about Gu Ran's future.

A professional player is about to fall from grace just as his career begins. This is undoubtedly a major blow to old Rice, who has worked hard to "cultivate" him.

——On the way here, several other senior executives had already discussed secretly in the car. If Gu Ran was really seriously injured, they would have to hurry up and find a way to package Gu Ran and sell him to other clubs that were still interested in him, so as to maximize the club's interests.

Old Rice did not want to accept this proposal, but the current Southampton club is not ruled by old men like Rice.

Capital claims to be humane, but when things really get bad, it will run faster than a rabbit.

Even if Old Rice liked Gu Ran very much, there was nothing he could do.

Old Rice was carrying a heavy pressure in his heart, and he could only bear this pressure by himself and could not tell Gu Ran about it.

As a reborn person, Gu Ran has a very high emotional intelligence and can naturally see the pressure that Old Rice is under.

Except for old Rice, the eyes of other senior executives were not so clear, but rather had a hint of evasion.

Gu Ran didn't feel disappointed at all.

Capital is inherently profit-oriented, and it is foolish to expect capital to be benevolent.

Fortunately, I was not hurt and can still make use of capital.

Among these people, only Evelyn had tears in her eyes. Only Evelyn's emotions were the most real and credible, without any interest mixed in.

After all, she is my woman.

Gu Ran really wanted to hug Evelin, lift the quilt, show Evelin his feet, and comfort Evelin.

Of course, the current situation does not allow Gu Ran to do this.

Gu Ran smiled at Old Rice and Evelin behind him, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Mai Fu also laughed and said, "Mr. Rice, this must be God's blessing. Gu Ran is really fine."

"Don't comfort me!" Old Rice said angrily, "Gu was hit so badly, how could he be okay!"

"I know it's hard to believe, but Gu Ran is really fine. At least, it's not as serious as you think."

As he said that, Mave handed the X-ray film, CT scan film, and MRI film to Old Rice, "Look if you don't believe me!"

Old Rice took it with a look of suspicion on his face, and examined each picture with wide eyes.

More than ten seconds passed, and the atmosphere in the luxurious special-grade ward was as depressing as if it was filled with water.

Old Rice's brows furrowed more and more tightly, "...I don't understand."

Oh shit!

Old Les, are you trying to make me laugh?

You can't understand it, but you keep looking at it for a long time! Gu Ran tried so hard to hold back his laughter that he almost got internal injuries.

Mai Fu was professional enough. He didn't show any intention of mocking his leader. Instead, he pointed to several key positions on the test results and explained: "This is the lateral ligament, this is the medial ligament, this is the superficial triangular ligament, and this is the deep triangular ligament. Judging from the condition of these ligaments--"

Snap! Before Maifu finished speaking, Old Rice suddenly closed the test results, and then said in a deep voice: "There are too many people here, just two or three people will be enough, Evelyn, you go out too, I will call you in for an interview later."

Gu Ran winked at her comfortingly, "Go out first."

“Okay then.” Evelin walked out of the ward sadly.

Several senior executives also left, leaving only Rice Sr., CEO Mark Fry, sports director Mark Walker and financial director Nicola Coster in the ward.

Originally, Nicholas Coster also wanted to leave, but was persuaded to stay by old Rice.

After all, although Nikola Koster currently holds the title of financial director, he will become the club's new CEO after the start of the new season.

Naturally, the new CEO also needs to know the true extent of Gu Ran's injury.

After the door of the ward was closed, Old Rice lowered his voice and said, "Okay, Mave, you can talk now."

Gu Ran took a deep breath secretly.

It was not until this time that he understood why Old Rice read the test report for more than ten seconds before speaking! It was not that Old Rice did not understand, but that Old Rice understood, but was thinking about how to proceed! Sure enough, to be able to sit in such a position in the club, he is definitely not a simple person.

Maf immediately pointed to the film and explained it to Old Rice and three other senior executives.

"In short... all the bones, all the Achilles tendons and ligaments are fine! Gu Ran has a natural physique and is not prone to injury. So even though it looks like a serious injury, it's actually just a minor skin injury and soft tissue contusion. Conservatively speaking, he will be able to train in three to five days."

After saying that, Mai Fu lifted Gu Ran's quilt and showed everyone Gu Ran's injured left ankle.

The senior executives present, including old Rice, couldn't help but exclaim.

No one expected that Gu Ran's injury was only a minor one! Nicola Coster was especially shocked - it was he who suggested selling Gu Ran to another club.

Now, seeing Gu Ran’s true injuries, Nicholas Coster suddenly realized that he almost made a huge, huge mistake!

A player who is extremely resistant to injury is more valuable than a technical genius! This must not be sold! Old Rice's voice trembled with excitement, "Is this true? Gu? Tell me, is this true?"

Gu Ran shook his head calmly.

The four high-level officials trembled in their hearts——

Gu Ran said solemnly: "In addition to my own physical talents, there is also Mai Fu's miraculous medical skills. Half an hour after Mai Fu bandaged me, my wound was almost healed."

Mai Fu blushed and smiled: "I just fulfilled my responsibilities as a team doctor. After all, Gu Ran is gifted."

"Hey, Mave is a miracle doctor!"

“Gu is gifted!”

——The two shameless people started praising each other.

The four senior executives also understood it completely - first, Gu Ran was gifted, and second, Mai Fu had miraculous medical skills, so Gu Ran was really fine this time.

Old Rice hugged Gu Ran excitedly, "That's great, Gu! This is really great! This is the best news I have ever heard in my life!"

Nicola Coster also cleared his throat, “Gu, you are really a gift from God to Southampton!”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you everyone. I want to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and resume training tomorrow."

Everyone present was stunned.

You just got injured and the bed isn’t even warm yet, and you’re already thinking about being discharged from the hospital for training?

This is too dedicated! A young player with great talent, unlimited commercial value, and extraordinary physical talent is still so dedicated... This is really a treasure! No matter how much money you pay, you can't sell it! Old Rice exchanged glances with other senior executives, and the other senior executives also responded with joyful eyes.

Old Rice then said, "Gu, we all understand how you feel, but you can't be too anxious about recovering from an injury. Although your condition is fine for now, I suggest you stay in the hospital for observation for a while. Don't worry, all your expenses during this period of recovery will be reimbursed by the club."

"Besides, in addition to wanting you to recover from your injuries, I have another plan that I need your cooperation with."

Gu Ran asked: "What plan?"

Old Rice said, "I plan to keep your physical talent a secret until the summer transfer window closes, or is about to close."

Gu Ran was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized.

As a player, my ideas were too simple in front of these club executives.

All I want is to return as soon as possible, train earlier, and compete earlier.

However, what the top executives of these clubs want is to take advantage of the opportunity to attack rival clubs and make those coveted giants give up poaching players.

It is true that in this vast world, everyone has their own different stances and everyone has their own little calculations.

Gu Ran felt a little amused and helpless.

Gu Ran just wants to play football and doesn't want to get involved in club-level matters.

However, on second thought, since I want to grow and accumulate in Southampton Club, then avoiding poaching by top clubs can be considered as doing myself a favor.

Gu Ran weighed the pros and cons, and then said, "Okay, Mr. Rice, just because you are, I am willing to cooperate."

This statement gave old Rice enough face.

Old Rice said happily: "Gu, I knew that your heart belongs to our Southampton Football Club. I'm afraid you will have a hard time during this period. I will try my best to ask others not to visit you, and you must also hide your injury from them and try not to talk to them about the specific situation."

Gu Ran couldn't help but ask, "Do the head coach and other teammates have to keep it secret too?"

Old Rice said, "I will tell the head coach about it, but you still have to keep it a secret from your other teammates. Otherwise, the news of your extraordinary talent will spread all over England very quickly, and our transfer hotline will be blown up."

Gu Ran smiled helplessly, "Okay then."

Seeing that Gu Ran agreed, Old Rice said, "Also, you don't have to play in the remaining pre-season friendly matches."

Gu Ran sat up from the bed and said, "Mr. Rice! This won't do!"

Old Rice said quickly: "Gu, don't worry. You are injured now after all. We can't let you take huge risks for a few insignificant friendly matches."

Other senior executives also dissuaded:

"Yeah, yeah, Gu!"

"We all know you're dedicated, but these are just a few friendly matches. They're unnecessary."

"It's more important to rest!"

"You are the hope of our Southampton!"

"We really can't let you make any mistakes!"

"This concerns your career and the future of Southampton Football Club. You really can't take risks for a few friendly matches!"

Gu Ran frowned and said, "But I'm really fine! Even if I need to rest, a week is enough! Let me play football, Mr. Rice, if I don't play football... I feel uncomfortable all over!"

Old Rice pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "How about...we try another way to make you feel comfortable?"

Oh shit!

What are you talking about!

Old Les, who do you think I am? Then, which way should we change?

Bah! That won't work! I really just want to play football! Gu Ran shook his head with a determined look.

Old Rice took a deep breath and said, "Gu, you are really a football fanatic. I have seen countless players, but none of them is like you who only cares about playing football. So let's do this. Rest for the first week, and return to the training base for simple training in the second week. After that, the team doctor and coaching staff will evaluate you. If there is no problem, you can be a substitute. Once they confirm that there is no problem, you can play."

Gu Ran sat on the hospital bed without saying a word.

At this rate, there is no chance of winning the next game against Newcastle United.

I'm afraid we won't be able to play in the next friendly match against Wycombe Wanderers.

He may be used as a substitute in the subsequent city derby against Northampton.

Finally, he should be able to start in the friendly match against Arsenal.

After the four friendly matches, the summer transfer window will be closed. By the time other top clubs react, they can only watch helplessly.

It would not be unacceptable if I could start in the game against Arsenal.

In addition, I can also use these three weeks to concentrate on finalizing the hand-drawn script and even the contract for "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

Gu Ran then said, "I demand to be in the starting lineup for the match against Arsenal. In addition, I also need to increase my appearance rate in the English League One, domestic cup competitions and other official competitions."

If we don’t discuss conditions now, when will we discuss them?

We are all here to sell things, so we have to raise prices when necessary!

Old Rice immediately said, "No problem! You can start in the friendly match against Arsenal. As long as you are in good shape, you can play the whole game! I will discuss this with Coach Adkins later. I think he will be happy to do so! As for your appearance rate in League One games, we are preparing a new contract for you. We will give you the new contract within two days to ensure that your appearance rate will increase!"

Holy shit…

I've only played two friendly matches, no, two and a half friendly matches, and I'm already getting my third professional contract?

Isn't this crazy? The new contract will definitely not only increase the appearance rate, but also increase the weekly salary and benefits.

Of course, it is also necessary to increase the minimum termination fee clause...

It must be said that old Rice is definitely an old fox, and he is also very shrewd.

Gu Ran said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Rice, I accept your proposal. In addition, I have something else I want to discuss with Mr. Rice and the senior executives."

Gu Ran paused for a moment, "I think you must be wondering why I was late for my home debut and arrived by helicopter at the last minute before kick-off?"
