Chapter 183 Go back and submit a marriage application
The hospital had already been notified, and the emergency access was unobstructed.
Lu Zhanming was immediately wheeled into the surgical preparation area.
"I need to perform the surgery myself!"
Gu Baobao faced the approaching head of surgery, her eyes red, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.
"I know his situation, I know the location and depth of the bullet! Let me handle this!"
The head of surgery recognized Gu Baobao, then glanced at Lu Zhanming, whose condition was acceptable but required urgent treatment. Thinking of her previous miraculous surgery, he hesitated for a moment before looking at Dean Du Bang, who had rushed over.
Dean DuPont looked at Gu Baobao, who was on the verge of collapse but was forcibly suppressing it, her eyes sharp as knives, and nodded emphatically:
"Prepare the operating room! Dr. Gu will be the surgeon, assisted by Dr. Ferreira, who will monitor the entire process!"
Gu Baobao didn't even have time to change out of her blood-stained cheongsam. She just put on a sterile surgical gown, gloves, and a mask before standing on the operating table again.
This time, however, the one lying under the operating light was her beloved.
[Defu: Real-time guidance, precise location!]
She gave the order in her mind.
[Understood! 3D injury map constructed! Bullet location depth marked! Avoid nerve bundle markings!]
Defu is more focused than ever before.
The surgery begins.
Gu Baobao's hands are frighteningly steady.
All the fear, panic, and heartache subside into absolute calm and professionalism the moment the scalpel is picked up.
She made precise incisions, separating the muscle layers while avoiding blood vessels and nerves, her movements fluid and swift.
With De Fu's precise guidance and her superb skills, that damned bullet was completely removed and landed in the instrument tray with a clink.
Clean the wound, stop the bleeding, and suture layer by layer.
When the last stitch was completed and the suture was cut, Lu Zhanming's vital signs on the monitor were stable and strong.
Gu Baobao felt as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. Her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed, but the nurse next to her caught her quickly.
Through her mask, she gasped for breath, her vision blurred as she looked at Lu Zhanming, who was sleeping peacefully on the operating table, and tears streamed down her face silently once again.
This time, I'm thankful.
Postoperative observation room.
Lu Zhanming slowly woke up after the anesthesia wore off. He felt a dull pain in his back, but he was fully conscious.
The first thing I saw was Gu Baobao, who was lying by the bed, holding his hand tightly, her eyes red and swollen like peaches, already asleep from exhaustion.
She was still wearing that blood-stained, wrinkled cheongsam coat, her hair was disheveled, her face was still wet with tears, and she was still frowning anxiously in her sleep.
His heart ached so much it clenched into a ball.
Sui Jianguo and several comrades were waiting outside the door. When they saw that he had woken up, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came in.
Lu Zhanming didn't inquire about his own injuries first, but looked at Sui Jianguo, his voice hoarse but urgent:
"Minister...we...must return home immediately...we can't delay...every extra day we stay...the baby is in danger every extra day..."
He knew it all too well.
The target of this shooting was clearly Gu Baobao.
If he hadn't reacted quickly... the consequences would have been unimaginable.
If they fail the first time, they'll likely try a second and a third!
Country F is no longer safe!
Only by returning to China and to the strict protection of the organization can the baby be truly safe.
Sui Jianguo nodded heavily, his eyes also reddening slightly:
"Don't worry, everything is arranged. A private jet is on standby. We'll leave as soon as your condition stabilizes! Not a moment longer!"
Gu Baobao was startled awake. Seeing Lu Zhanming awake, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she rushed to the bedside.
"Brother Zhanming! You're awake! Are you in pain? Is anything bothering you?"
Lu Zhanming laboriously raised the hand that wasn't receiving the IV drip, gently wiped away her tears, and gave a weak smile:
"It doesn't hurt...don't cry...let's go home..."
On that day, after the doctor repeatedly confirmed that Lu Zhanming could withstand the long-distance flight, and mainly due to Gu Baobao's secret conditioning with spiritual spring water, the entire delegation boarded the special plane back to China.
Lu Zhanming was placed on a specially made stretcher, and Gu Baobao insisted on sitting next to him to take care of him.
Before the plane took off, Gu Baobao carefully fed him some water.
Lu Zhanming leaned against her, took a few sips of his drink, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice, barely audible to the two of them, with utmost seriousness:
“Baby…be good…don’t take out those things carelessly again…be careful with the spiritual spring…and the silver needles too…there are many people watching now…I’m fine…I can hold on…your safety…is the most important…”
He was worried that she might expose the secret of the spiritual spring water in order to save him.
Even if it's just a possibility, he would never allow her to be put in greater danger.
Gu Baobao almost burst into tears again.
Even though he was injured like this, his first thought upon waking up was to return to China to protect her. He was worried that she would expose his secret during the surgery, and he is still telling her to be careful.
She gripped his hand tightly, pressed her face against the cold back of his hand, and nodded, choking back tears.
"Okay... I understand... Brother Zhanming... Let's go home... We'll get married when we get back... You need to get better soon..."
A satisfied yet weak smile appeared on Lu Zhanming's pale face as he gently hooked his finger around her palm.
I'll go back and file for marriage.
He wanted to rightfully protect his baby, and this silly girl, 24 hours a day.
The special plane roared into the sky, leaving Country F, leaving this land full of honor and danger, heading east, towards home, flying resolutely.
Outside the cabin, the sea of clouds churned.
Inside the cabin, though the pain had not yet healed, the longing to return home was strong, and the affection was even more steadfast.
The dull thud of the plane's tires hitting the runway was like a long sigh, finally bringing everyone in the cabin back to their senses.
As the cabin door opened, the dry, crisp autumn air of the capital rushed in, carrying the familiar scent of dust and sunshine that belonged to home.
Sui Jianguo was the first to stand up. This minister, who was always calm and composed on the diplomatic stage, had tears welling up in his eyes.
He looked around the cabin at the tired yet excited faces, his voice trembling slightly with emotion:
"Comrades! We're back home!"
Without any fancy words, just a few short sentences, yet they brought tears to everyone's eyes.
I'm home.
I'm really home.
Along the way, honor and danger were intertwined, and applause and gunshots coexisted.
They brought back orders and channels that could change the domestic medical landscape, but they also brought back the lingering fear of almost losing their loved ones.
Lu Zhanming was helped down the gangway by two comrades.
With the help of the spiritual spring water and Gu Baobao's careful treatment, the injury on his back was actually no longer a big problem, and the scab even healed much faster than most people would expect.
But at this moment, his face was pale and his steps were weak, perfectly portraying the role of a seriously wounded soldier.
After all, this is an important tool for winning over your future wife to protect you around the clock.
