It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, everyone really started to feel hungry.
"I'm going to buy food."
Gu Ziling spoke first, then handed the little one in her arms, who had cried himself to sleep, to Commander Gu, and took off her suit jacket to cover the little one.
"Go ahead, do you have enough money?"
"enough."
For a high-ranking minister, just showing his face is enough.
...........
Hao Gang realized that Commander Gu had indeed been holding the child for far too long. If it were a piece of iron or a rock, Commander Gu could hold it while standing at attention for two hours without any problem, let alone move it or even blink.
But now I'm holding a soft, chubby baby. If I move even slightly, I'm afraid of waking up this little guy who has finally fallen asleep, so I keep my body stiff.
Clearly, the little boy was sleeping restlessly, moving around at any moment and even turning over slightly, which was quite a challenge for Commander Gu.
"Ahem, sir, there's a chair here, you can sit down and hug it."
"Forget it, if I move, I'll wake him up again."
"Sir, no, the child won't wake up even if you move him slightly." As long as you don't drop him or deliberately tease him, he definitely won't wake up. The child was just tired and fell asleep, so he won't wake up so easily.
After Gu Beiwang sat down, he looked at his grandson lying on his lap with trepidation... He moved a few times, but ultimately did not wake up.
Now I can finally move my wrists around a bit. To be honest, Commander Gu isn't young anymore; he's almost fifty, so it's inevitable that he's quite different from when he was younger.
............
Before Gu Ziling returned from buying food, the nurse came out again. The stitching had already started in the operating room, and the patient could be wheeled out once the anesthesia wore off.
Hearing this, everyone guarding outside couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If stitches have already been started, it means the surgery is almost successful.
My biggest worry is that the doctor or nurse in the operating room will come out with a critical condition notice for the family to sign, or announce something like massive bleeding, or that the heart rate or blood pressure is too low or too high.
Thankfully, no.
Minister Gu was followed by restaurant staff carrying a large box.
"Guys, let's eat."
For Minister Gu, Hao Gang and his group were indeed like his underlings.
For a moment, Hao Gang and his six companions felt somewhat uneasy. After all, in front of them were the army commander, the big boss of the military region, and the minister, who had personally bought the food... cough cough.
You must be flattered!
Gu Ziling walked towards Gu Beiwang with the top box of food in her hand: "Uncle, you eat first, give me the child."
"OK."
"How's the situation inside?"
"I just got a call saying they're already performing the surgery and stitching. They'll bring her out once the anesthesia wears off. Where is Xiao Dan?"
Gu Ziling raised her hand to look at the time on her watch: "According to what they say, my brother has been gone for four hours, and he should arrive in half an hour at most."
In such situations, the speed cannot be calculated based on normal vehicle speed.
It's easy to guess that my older brother was flooring the gas pedal the whole way from Kyoto to B City.
Gu Ziling had already contacted the Transportation Bureau as soon as she received the news, so Gao Dan's journey was smooth sailing.
It usually takes six hours to drive there, but if we reduce it by an hour and a half, that should be about right.
Gu Beiwang hummed in agreement, handed the person to Gu Ziling, and started eating the boxed lunch.
............
Hao Gang and the others were led to their meals by Gu Ziling's secretary. It was surprising to see these usually fast-paced young men acting so awkwardly.
After distributing the boxed meals, the restaurant staff were about to leave: "Minister Gu, we'll head back now."
Gu Ziling nodded: "Please tell your boss for me. Oh, and please bring two more meals over in half an hour, as we have more people coming."
"Yes, Minister Gu."
