After Gu Moli returned to his unit, Su Xingran resumed her previous life, going to work and coming home alone. Su Xingran's parents also left by train on the same day as Gu Moli.
While Su Xingran was at work, a man in military uniform appeared at the door of her clinic. The soldier said hurriedly, "Dr. Su, please take your medical kit and come with me. My superior needs to speak with you."
As the soldier spoke, he took out his identification from his pocket and showed it to Su Xingran. Su Xingran looked at the identification and realized that few people knew she was a military doctor; this soldier was a bodyguard for a leader.
Su Xingran nodded and followed the soldier out. Dean Sun had already received the call and was rushing downstairs when he saw Su Xingran emerge from the consultation room.
Dean Sun said to Su Xingran, "Dr. Su, you should go with the soldier. The hospital has received the notification."
Su Xingran didn't say much, just nodded and followed the soldier to the parked car. The soldier opened the back door, and Su Xingran got in. The car started and drove all the way to the General Military Region Hospital.
Su Xingran followed the soldier until they reached the entrance of the hospital's operating room. She saw a large crowd gathered there, including a leader she recognized.
When the leader saw Su Xingran arrive, he asked in a heavy tone, "Dr. Su, are you capable of performing a bullet removal surgery near the heart?"
A doctor nearby handed Su Xingran the medical record and report. Su Xingran looked at them carefully, and then said to the supervisor who had asked her the question, "I can't guarantee whether the patient will survive the surgery, since no one can see what the internal condition is like."
The leader looked at Su Xingran and asked, "How confident are you in this surgery? The person inside is an important scientific researcher in our country."
Su Xingran said very seriously, "Leader, I'm not sure how confident we are. If the heart and cardiovascular system are not punctured, the injured person will only have a chance of survival if they are rescued through surgery."
"Go, prepare for surgery immediately. Even if the outcome isn't good, you've only done what a doctor should do. I'll have the hospital doctors assist you with the surgery," the leader said urgently to Su Xingran.
Su Xingran was led by a nurse to change into the surgical gown she would wear. The doctors at the General Military Region Hospital, while skeptical about their superiors bringing in such a young female doctor, dared not say a word once the leadership had given the order.
After preparing, Su Xingran entered the operating room with her silver needle box. Looking at the man lying on the operating table, Su Xingran checked his condition. After the check, she pried open the man's mouth and inserted a pill.
The two doctors standing nearby watched Su Xingran's actions, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Remembering their superior's instruction to fully cooperate with the surgeon, they remained silent.
With everything prepared, Su Xingran began the surgery. The scalpel cut open the skin and flesh of her left chest, and she quickly located the bullet at the site of the wound. However, the bullet was lodged near a cardiovascular vessel; forcibly removing it risked rupturing the blood vessel.
People waited anxiously outside the operating room. Three hours had passed, but the doors remained tightly shut. Why had the leadership summoned Su Xingran? The specialist in heart surgery was out of town, and other doctors weren't confident in their ability to perform the operation. The leadership had a hunch that bringing Su Xingran in might offer a glimmer of hope.
