Chapter 190: Weak and pitiful
The young doctor was ready to work overtime today. He came back from the brutal scene and learned that the three people were injured in a gunfight with drug dealers. They were not even policemen. He was filled with infinite passion and emotion. In the face of good and evil, people have common characteristics. What does it matter if he suffers a little? They deserve the treatment of heroes.
However, the heroes did not seem to want to cause him any trouble. After lying on the hospital bed for an hour or so, the shocking injuries mysteriously healed. The young doctor still gave them a follow-up examination.
Heart rate is normal.
Blood pressure is normal.
The results of various X-ray examinations showed that the heroes' internal organs were in good condition, without any benign tumors or small stones. In fact, it was obvious to the naked eye that they were very safe, breathing slowly, without even snoring, which showed that their respiratory systems were also functioning well...
The young doctor patted his head vigorously. Was he hallucinating because he was too tired? No, he hadn't even started working overtime yet...
The only thing that went against common sense was that no matter how the medical staff called them, they just wouldn't wake up.
There was only so much that anyone could do. At this time, the experts in gave Captain Peng a second critical illness notice. The young doctor told the nurse to observe him at any time and went to help.
Officer Gao finished handling the scene and came to reunite with Xiaoqin. Captain Peng was still rescuing him. His condition was very dangerous. The first car collision caused a comminuted fracture of his left shoulder and a concussion, and multiple bleeding in his organs. Most people would need to go to the hospital immediately after such an injury, but he relied on his strong willpower to confront the criminals. The second trauma was even more fatal. In his extremely weak body, he was attacked by a huge external force again, like a fish with crisp bones that was thrown heavily to the ground. The emergency room gathered the best experts in the city, and they were fighting against death.
When Officer Gao saw Xiaoqin, she was curled up on a hard chair in the corridor, clutching her hair with her left hand. Blood from the wound on her right hand had seeped out and soaked the gauze. The two looked at each other, and Xiaoqin shook her head weakly.
Officer Gao sat quietly on the ground beside Xiaoqin. After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Where are Zhang Nianzu and the others?"
Xiaoqin was stunned, and Officer Gao said worriedly: "Could it be that it has already been..."
Xiaoqin shook her head again. She didn’t know how to describe it.
"I'll go find them!" Officer Gao got up and ran.
…
The chaos this incident brought to the hospital was far more than just rescuing a police officer. All the hospital's elites went to the battlefield, and the nurses had to face many times more work than before. They had to change the patients' dressings and do routine monitoring, and they also had to deal with angry patients who had waited in line for a long time but couldn't see a doctor.
When it was getting dark, the busy nurse Xiao Liu remembered that there were three unconscious patients in the ward who needed her to "observe at all times", so she dragged her tired steps and pushed open the door of the ward. She only took a look inside and was so shocked that she covered her mouth and almost screamed - two of the patients were lying there fine, but the patient named Li Asan was gone!
Xiao Liu turned around and ran towards the medical office, and bumped into Officer Gao who was walking towards him.
Officer Gao saw Zhang Nianzu and Li Changgui lying motionless on the bed, with another bed empty. His heart sank... He grabbed Xiao Liu's hand and asked loudly, "What's going on here?"
"Here... I can't explain it well..." Xiao Liu was anxious to report to his leader and struggled hard.
Officer Gao asked, "Where is the other person?"
Xiao Liu stuttered: "He...he..."
Officer Gao said in a hoarse voice: "Already...left?"
"No! He...is gone!"
Officer Gao took a long time to react, then suddenly asked in a stern voice: "What do you mean missing?"
Xiao Liu said in panic: "He was here just now, and now I don't know how he disappeared." She happened to see the dean appear in the corridor, so she simply shouted loudly.
The dean was also confused when he learned about this. He asked Xiao Liu: "Why did he disappear? Did someone transfer him to another department or what?"
Xiao Liu was about to cry: "I...I..."
Officer Gao waved his fist and shouted, "Find witnesses, check surveillance!" Then he rushed out like an angry tiger. He was terrified. He saw with his own eyes how Zhang Nianzu and the others were carried away, dying. Although people in his line of work avoid using words like "die in the line of duty" and "sacrifice", that is their duty. Zhang Nianzu and the others are ordinary people, and he cannot explain to the public if they are injured. What if even the bodies are missing...
The hospital was in chaos again. The police started to visit the scene. Some went to the monitoring room to review the video. Officer Gao specifically told everyone not to tell Xiaoqin first...
…
Zhang Nianzu slept for a long time and suddenly opened his eyes. At first he was a little dazed, wondering why he was in the hospital ward. He soon recalled his experiences of the day. He sat up and found Li Changgui lying beside him.
"Changgui, Changgui!" Zhang Nianzu jumped off the bed and pushed Li Changgui twice.
Li Changgui woke up immediately, and when he came to his senses, the first thing he said was: "Nianzu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Zhang Nianzu checked his body and found no illness or damage.
Li Changgui covered his face and said the second sentence: "This is so embarrassing. The Golden Guards had a fight and were sent to the hospital."
Zhang Nianzu looked around and asked, "Where's Ah San?"
Li Changgui was also surprised and asked, "Shouldn't this kid be with us?"
At this time, Li Asan walked in leisurely, carrying a large bag and holding a half-eaten meat pie in his mouth. After entering the door, he looked into the corridor and asked curiously, "What's going on outside with all the commotion?"
Li Changgui asked: "Where have you been?"
Ah San shook the bag in his hand and said, "I was so hungry when I woke up, so I went to buy some food."
Li Changgui said unhappily: "Call us before you leave."
Ah San chuckled and gave meat patties to the two people. Zhang Nianzu and Li Changgui were also very hungry, so the three of them each took a meat pie and started to nibble on it.
The door of the ward was pushed open and a large group of people rushed in, including the dean, Officer Gao, the young doctor, Xiaoqin, and the nurse Xiaoliu. They all had anxious, uneasy, and sad expressions on their faces. They were in different moods, and everyone had a lot of emotions to vent and explain. Then they saw three people in the room rolling meat patties crazily...
The scene was a bit awkward for a while.
Officer Gao's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he subconsciously asked, "You...are not dead?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "It seems not."
Then, everyone at the door glared at Ah San and shouted in unison: "Where were you just now?"
Ah San had a mouthful of biscuits at this time, and was choked by them. He took out a bottle of soy milk from the bag and sipped it twice before saying, "Your hospital is so stingy that you don't even give me glucose. What's wrong with me going out to buy some food?"
The dean burst into tears and said, "Why don't you say hello to us!"
Ah San said indifferently, "I was wrong, okay?" He ignored everyone and asked Li Changgui while looking through the bag, "Uncle San, do you want soy milk or noodle soup?"
Li Changgui said, "You know I don't like sweet things - give me the noodle soup."
Everyone watched the three of them sharing the food and drink, imagining how they looked when they were first brought here, and the same words came to their minds: weak, pitiful, helpless, but able to eat.
