Fortunately, Changlai Lane is not too far from the hospital; you can get there by walking through two lanes.
Number 21 is at the end of the alley, a detached house with its own courtyard, some distance away from the neighbors on either side.
The courtyard gate was ajar. Xu Ningyan picked up the door knocker and knocked: "Is anyone home?"
A moment later, an impatient male voice came from inside: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Sun Zhou; Comrade Gu sent me."
Before she could finish speaking, hurried footsteps approached the door. The door opened, and a burly man with a full beard walked out, eyeing Xu Ningyan warily.
Upon seeing the bloodstains on her body, his expression changed: "Where is Gu Zhiyuan?"
Xu Ningyan answered honestly, "He was injured and sent to the hospital, and he is still being treated."
Sun Zhou's expression changed drastically, but he managed to remain composed. He looked around to make sure no one was watching, then gestured for Xu Ningyan to follow him into the courtyard: "What exactly happened?"
Xu Ningyan didn't dare to speak carelessly, for fear of saying the wrong thing. She simply repeated Gu Zhiyuan's words: "Comrade Gu Zhiyuan asked me to tell you that there are still a few of the people who were besieging him left at Huangmenyan. He wants you to deal with them quickly! I don't know anything else."
Sun Zhou looked serious. Although he was worried about Gu Zhiyuan's injuries, since Gu Zhiyuan had specifically sent someone to deliver the message, dealing with these matters was naturally more important.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away!"
Having delivered the message, Xu Ningyan felt his mission accomplished, but also worried about the hospital's bigwigs. He nodded to Sun Zhou, then turned and ran off.
By the time Sun Zhou came to his senses, the person had already vanished.
He immediately gave a wry smile. He was thinking of giving her a few more words of advice, asking the girl to go to the hospital and help look after Gu Zhiyuan, and then thanking her properly when he finished his business and went to the hospital.
But they had already left.
Well, since he's been taken to the hospital, he should be fine. He should hurry up and deal with Huangmenyan's situation, otherwise he might run into trouble.
After locking the door, Sun Zhou quickly disappeared into the alley.
Xu Ningyan quickly returned to the hospital and went to the operating room to inquire. She learned that the patient was still undergoing surgery and had not yet come out.
Judging from the injury to his arm, he probably won't be out for a while.
Xu Ningyan found Wu Chunyu, and when she saw Xu Ningyan, she waved for her to come over.
He first handed the hospital admission receipt to Xu Ningyan and instructed, "The hospital admission is complete. I paid twenty yuan. Here is the remaining seven yuan and twenty cents. Keep this safe, and keep this receipt safe too!"
Seeing that Xu Ningyan seemed a little unsettled, constantly glancing back at the operating room, she couldn't help but reassure her, "Don't worry, our hospital director is performing the surgery himself. He's from the Provincial People's Hospital; he's a master of surgery—"
He gave a thumbs-up and winked at Xu Ningyan.
Xu Ningyan immediately understood.
Regardless of the reason why this hospital director came to the county hospital, his medical skills should be beyond question.
I breathed a small sigh of relief, but I didn't even have time to thank Wu Chunyu.
Then she saw the operating room door open, and Xu Ningyan hurried over.
The operating room door opened, and a doctor came out first. He looked at Xu Ningyan, seemingly puzzled: "Are you a family member of the injured person?"
Xu Ningyan hesitated for a moment: "I'm the injured man's friend, doctor. How are his injuries? Are they serious?"
The doctor glanced at Xu Ningyan, suppressing his doubts. The injured people inside looked somewhat familiar to him; the only ones he could recognize were old acquaintances from the provincial capital or the capital.
Although he was unconscious, judging from his appearance and demeanor, he was not born in this county town. He could be a relative or friend of an old friend.
Therefore, he performed the surgery with exceptional care and attention.
If the angle of the wound on this person's arm had been slightly different, it wouldn't have been a matter of excessive blood loss, but rather a matter of the arm being practically useless for the rest of the life.
It's fortunate that they ran into him, otherwise the injured person would have broken their arm!
She already had doubts in her heart, and seeing Xu Ningyan waiting outside only fueled her suspicions.
Upon hearing that Xu Ningyan was a friend of the injured person, the doctor felt a sense of relief for some reason.
Coming to my senses, I rattled off a bunch of technical jargon.
Xu Ningyan summarized the main point as follows: Gu Zhiyuan's injury was more serious in his arm, requiring twenty stitches. He needed to take good care of the wound and prevent any further complications, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble and affect his future work and life.
The back of his head was also cut, and he needed two stitches.
You have multiple injuries to your legs, mostly soft tissue contusions. Avoid walking around for the next couple of days, rest for a few days, and apply some ointment.
Gu Zhiyuan is still unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Once he wakes up, he will need to be given blood-tonifying and nutritional supplements.
Xu Ningyan memorized everything, and after the doctor finished speaking, she repeated it again, afraid that she might have misremembered.
The doctor's eyes flickered, he nodded, turned to give the nurse a few instructions, and was then called away.
The nurse took the person to the ward, put an IV drip on them, and instructed Xu Ningyan to take care of them and call them to remove the needle when the drip was finished.
After the nurse left and closed the ward door, the entire ward became quiet.
Xu Ningyan moved a stool, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared blankly at the unconscious Gu Zhiyuan.
Because the back of his head was also broken and bleeding, his entire head was wrapped in white gauze, revealing all of Gu Zhiyuan's facial features.
This was the first time Xu Ningyan had truly seen Gu Zhiyuan's appearance clearly.
He had fair skin and striking, arched eyebrows. His brows were furrowed, and even now, as he was asleep, faint frown lines could be seen between them, likely because he was often frowning.
His eye sockets were deep-set, and his eyes were tightly closed at the moment. They were long and narrow, and there was a small brown mole above his left eye.
Her long eyelashes curled slightly, casting a shadow on her eyelids.
Her nose was high and straight, and her lips, unlike usual, were slightly upturned, and she appeared somewhat pale due to excessive blood loss.
Even while lying down, you can still see the contours of her face, with a clearly defined jawline.
He has the kind of handsome face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an upright and dignified air, and a sense of security that comes with a peaceful and prosperous country!
Xu Ningyan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but drool. She never expected that the big boss would be so handsome!
She's absolutely devastated! She's hit the jackpot! She's managed to snag the most desirable backer!
After the IV drip finished, ask the nurse to remove the needle.
It was Wu Chunyu again. Seeing that Xu Ningyan hadn't prepared anything, she couldn't help but remind him, "Taking care of a patient isn't something that can be done in a day or two. Did you bring food coupons and a lunchbox? Our hospital has a cafeteria; you can bring all three meals back to the ward. If you have chicken, duck, fish, or ribs at home that are good for the patient but don't have a place to cook them, the cafeteria has a special kitchen where you can cook your own soup and meals for just two cents a day. Once the patient wakes up and isn't feeling unwell, he can eat normally. Also, you need to change his clothes and wash his body—"
