When General Zhou opened his eyes, he saw the snow-white ceiling and smelled the strong smell of disinfectant. Drops of cool medicine were dripping from the glucose water on the shelf and flowing into General Zhou's body.
Six years ago, General Zhou often smelled this smell and often encountered the situation of hanging intravenous drips. It can be said that six years ago, General Zhou was a sickly person who was often in the hospital. But in the past six years, hasn't his health been getting better and better? Why is he in the hospital again?
General Zhou raised his hand and pressed his dazed forehead, not knowing what day it was.
"Wow... General, you're finally awake!" Guard Xiao Geng was guarding the bedside. When he saw General Zhou open his eyes, he couldn't help crying.
Xiao Geng is General Zhou's bodyguard. He's 23 years old and a veteran with five years of service. He's only been with General Zhou for three months, and being able to stand out from the fierce competition to become the general's bodyguard is something he's always proud of.
Three days ago, Xiao Geng happened to be on duty. After Xiao Geng and another guard, Xiao Su, sent General Zhou to the office building, they waited in the guard room until General Zhou finished the meeting.
The guard room is right next to the conference room. When the leaders are in meetings, their guards usually stay there. The atmosphere in the guard room is very friendly. The guards around each leader are carefully selected from the army.
When the alarm rang in the conference room, Xiao Geng jumped in surprise and rushed forward with Xiao Su. They were both new guards, and before they were assigned to guard General Zhou, they had heard that he had been in poor health. Both Xiao Geng and Xiao Su prayed that the alarm in the conference room had nothing to do with General Zhou.
Unfortunately, Xiao Geng and Xiao Su’s prayers were in vain.
Xiao Geng was the first to rush into the conference room. What he saw was General Zhou lying on the conference table, seemingly unconscious. Several old leaders with anxious faces were sitting in their seats, seemingly stunned by General Zhou's sudden condition.
On the ground next to General Zhou was a broken porcelain cup.
It wasn't that the leaders didn't care about General Zhou, but they didn't dare to touch him. At their age, they still had some basic medical knowledge. Before they knew what had happened to General Zhou, they could only let him lie there.
After Xiao Geng and Xiao Su rushed in, He Shumin, who was near the door, stood up and said to Xiao Geng, "Hurry, the general suddenly fainted. Have someone call Renhe Hospital and ask Director Hao to bring emergency personnel over."
Before Xiao Geng could say anything, Xiao Su, who was behind him, quickly ran to make a phone call.
Xiao Geng then realized that his general's health had been taken care of by his relative Zhao Qingshan in recent years. Why did Xiao Su go to call Dean Hao?
However, Xiao Geng did not dare to leave the general at this time. General Zhou was in a coma, and Xiao Geng felt that he could not let the general out of his sight.
After a while, He Shumin took a broom and dustpan and wanted to clean up the broken porcelain pieces around General Zhou, but Xiao Geng refused.
Although Xiao Geng looked straight ahead, he secretly complained about He Shumin's lack of tact: The general is still unconscious, is now the time to clean up the broken porcelain pieces?
Seeing Xiao Geng's serious expression, He Shumin smiled and put down the broom. He Shumin didn't say anything more to Xiao Geng and stepped aside. Honestly, with so many leaders watching, it would be really embarrassing for He Shumin to argue with Xiao Geng.
After a while, Dean Hao arrived hurriedly with two doctors.
After Dean Hao conducted a preliminary examination on General Zhou, he concluded that General Zhou fainted because he was too tired.
Dean Hao suggested that General Zhou be hospitalized and rest for a few days immediately, otherwise, it is unknown what the consequences will be.
Xiao Geng and Xiao Su were about the same age. They were already at a loss as to what to do after hearing General Zhou's coma. Seeing that Dean Hao spoke so seriously, they naturally did as he said.
After General Zhou was sent to Renhe Hospital, he was immediately placed in this special observation room. During these three days, Director Hao gave General Zhou some medicine, but he remained unconscious.
Xiao Geng was nearly driven to death by anxiety. Steward Zhou wasn't home, and Guard Captain Ouyang Xin had taken leave a few days earlier due to family matters. When General Zhou got into trouble, Xiao Geng had no one to report to. For the past two days, Xiao Geng and Xiao Su had been spending time together, one guarding General Zhou's bedside while the other ran errands like getting food from the cafeteria.
Xiao Geng decided that if General Zhou did not wake up today, he would run to Dean Hao's office and insist that Zhao Qingshan come to take over General Zhou's treatment.
Seeing General Zhou wake up, Xiao Geng was so excited that he couldn't help but shed tears.
"My soldiers shed blood but not tears!" General Zhou said with disdain when he saw Xiao Geng crying.
"Yes!" Xiao Geng stood up straight and saluted as usual, answering loudly.
"Xiao Geng, what's going on? Wasn't I in a meeting? Why are you in the hospital?" General Zhou shook his head, finally coming to his senses. General Zhou felt a little strange. He clearly remembered being in a meeting with a few old friends discussing the war on the front lines, but after taking a sip of the tea in front of him, he had no recollection of it.
Recalling the rich, fragrant, yet slightly astringent tea, General Zhou's amber eyes narrowed. He smacked his lips, the bitter taste of the tea still lingering in his mouth. It was clear he had suffered a setback, a backstabbing.
Who was so bold as to put drugs in his tea? And in the middle of a meeting?
General Zhou likes to drink water in big gulps. He can drink most of a teacup of water in one gulp.
General Zhou thought that such a thing could have been done in a heavily guarded office building, and it was obvious that someone inside had done it. And this person should be familiar with Zhou Jinyu's habits.
The leaders at the meeting were all very familiar with each other, and had been brothers for decades. They probably wouldn't joke with General Zhou like that, except...
Thinking of this, General Zhou's expression became even more serious.
The office building was heavily guarded, and every staff member inside possessed strong convictions and clean records. Most importantly, each had their own unique expertise. Therefore, if there was one place in China least likely to experience an incident, it would be the office building. Even the personal guards of leaders like Xiao Geng couldn't enter the building without the leader's escort.
"Xiao Geng, how many hours have I been unconscious?" General Zhou felt that he had overlooked something. He couldn't remember it for a moment, so he casually asked Xiao Geng how long he had been unconscious.
"General, it's not just a few hours, it's been three days. These three days have made Xiao Su and I very worried." Seeing that General Zhou had returned to normal, Xiao Geng became more talkative and told General Zhou one by one what happened after General Zhou fell into a coma.
