Chapter 291: A Thousand Miles to Rescue
The military vehicles sped through the streets in the dead of night, all the way unimpeded, and it took only half an hour to enter the General Hospital of the Armed Police of the Northern Province.
The car drove directly to a small building and stopped.
At this time, the open space in front of the building was full of cars, and when the lights of the military vehicles swept over those license plates, Ling Zikai found that those cars were either from the army, or from government departments, and some of the license plates obviously belonged to the leaders' special cars. It seems that there are still many people staying in the building.
Walking up the steps in front of the building, there were two armed police soldiers with loaded guns standing at the door. The two soldiers recognized Director Ye's identity, and after saluting him, they just wanted to stop Ling Zikai and the others to prepare for an investigation.
Director Ye waved his hand at them, and then led Ling Zikai and them into the building.
As soon as he entered the door, Ling Zikai heard someone shouting at him: "Zikai!"
When Ling Zikai heard the prestige, he saw Zhang Tianming, the mayor of Baishan City, standing at the door of a lounge in the building and waving to him.
Ling Zikai stopped and said, "Uncle Zhang, it's so late, you haven't gone back to rest yet!"
"Zhang Jun is still in surgery? I want to wait for him to come out safely before leaving! By the way, aren't you on Hong Kong Island with Xiaohao? When did you come back?"
"I just got off the plane, Haozi and they won't be back until tomorrow. ”
Ling Zikai saw Director Ye and the others walking to the second floor without stopping, and knew that now was not the time to chat, so he said to Zhang Tianming: "Uncle Zhang, the old man is anxious to see me, let's go back and talk again!"
Zhang Tianming hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The old man has been in the hospital for almost a whole day, and I haven't met him yet." ”
Ling Zikai immediately understood what he meant, and said casually: "That's the case, then let's go up together!"
Zhang Tianming's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly followed Ling Zikai's footsteps.
There were still more than a dozen people waiting there in the lounge, and when they saw Zhang Tianming following Ling Zikai to the second floor, they all showed a look of envy on their faces.
Like Zhang Tianming, they all belong to the camp of the Zhang family, and they all rushed to the hospital after hearing that Zhang Jun had an accident. Although they also knew that no one could help them when they came here, the most important thing was to show their attitude to the Zhang family.
It's just that the level of these people is not high, and they are not even qualified to go up to the second floor after coming to the hospital. can only wait for news downstairs, except for Zhang Siping who came downstairs to meet them on behalf of the Zhang family, and after thanking everyone, he had no chance to show his face in front of the old man.
At this moment, after seeing Ling Zikai casually taking Zhang Tianming to the second floor, except for secretly sighing that Zhang Tianming had good luck, he was guessing Ling Zikai's identity in his heart. Just because he can take someone upstairs without asking anyone for instructions, it seems that his status in the Zhang family is definitely different.
You must know that the people who stayed on the second floor at this time were not only the core figures in the Zhang family's camp, but also a few high-level military and political leaders in the Northern Province, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach at all.
Where did this young man come from, and why had he never heard of him before? It seems that he will find an opportunity to make good friends with people in the future.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw seven or eight people standing in the corridor, including generals in uniforms and officialdom elites in suits and leather shoes, but without exception, they were all over forty years old.
In addition to Zhang Siping and Zhang Jiefang's brothers, Ling Zikai also saw a few familiar faces, they should have met at the old man's birthday banquet, but he didn't know much about the specific identities of the people.
Of course, Ken, who can appear here, has a pivotal position in the Zhang family.
There were chairs on either side of the hallway, but no one sat on them, but stood in two rows, silent with bated breath, looking a little nervous.
At the end of the hallway, there is a closed white door with an electronic screen on top of it, which displays the words "During Surgery" in three red letters.
In front of the door, the white-haired old man Zhang was constantly walking back and forth there, his slow pace was a little heavy, adding a depressing atmosphere to the already quiet corridor.
Hearing footsteps in the hallway, everyone turned their heads to look.
After Zhang Fang shouted "big brother and second brother" at Zhang Siping and Zhang Jiefang, he walked quickly to the old man and choked up: "Dad!"
The old man stopped his wandering steps, nodded to Zhang Fang, and then subconsciously looked behind her.
After seeing Ling Zikai walking behind, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately waved at him and shouted, "Zikai, hurry up!"
Hearing the old man's shout, Ling Zikai hurriedly crossed the crowd and came to him.
At this moment, the old man seems to be much older, and his eyebrows are a little haggard.
"Old man, are you in good shape?"
Ling Zikai grabbed his left hand with some concern, just wanting to check his body.
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." It's been almost five hours since Xiaojun went in, and he hasn't come out yet, so you can help me go in and have a look!"
Ling Zikai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, although he knew that the old man must have called him back from Hong Kong Island to treat Zhang Junye, but now that surgery was being done inside, even if he went in, he wouldn't be able to help!
"Old man, you should relax your heart! I heard that the best surgeon in China who is operating on Zhang Jun is the best surgeon in China, there should be no surprise!"
"Damn, isn't it just a bullet? Back then, on the battlefield, those field doctors were able to operate on wounded soldiers in the trenches full of artillery fire. Why did it take so long, I see that the people inside are all wine bags and rice bags!"
Listening to the old man's complaints, everyone present showed a wry smile, and no one dared to speak.
He Ling obediently stepped forward to hold the old man's arm and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, Brother Jun will be fine, you can sit on the chair now!"
"Dad, since Xiao Kai entered, you have been standing here waiting, and your body will be unbearable. I think it's better to go to the lounge to rest first! If there's anything, we'll report to you right away! Besides, now that Zikai is here, what else are you worried about!"
Zhang Siping persuaded beside him. The others also rose up in peace.
Perhaps it was because Ling Zikai came to the scene that the old man felt a lot more relaxed. After all, he was ninety years old, and after standing for more than five hours, his body also felt a little tired, and under the persuasion of everyone, accompanied by Zhang Fang's mother and daughter, he entered a lounge.
Before entering the door, the old man turned his head and said to Ling Zikai: "Zikai, I will leave Xiaojun's affairs to you." To be honest, I'm really a little worried about the surgeons inside, you have to keep an eye on it for me!"
Listening to the old man's words, Ling Zikai felt a burst of embarrassment, and at the same time, a little pressure was added to his heart.
After the old man left, Zhang Siping said to everyone in the corridor: "After standing for so long, everyone is tired, find a place to sit down!"
In fact, after standing in this corridor for four or five hours, everyone has long been a little overwhelmed. But the old man has been standing there without sitting, how dare the others sit!
Besides, the physical fatigue is secondary, mainly because of the invisible coercion from the old man, which makes them a little unbearable.
Ling Zikai walked up to Zhang Siping and asked in a low voice, "Commander Zhang, what's going on inside, is there some trouble with the operation?"
Zhang Siping nodded and said: "The doctor said that the part of Xiaojun's shot was in the chest, the bullet grazed the heart and remained in the lungs, and part of the lobe tissue of the lungs has been necrotic, and it is very troublesome to have to remove the operation!"
Zhang Jiefang said with some annoyance next to him: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have sent him to the Black Wind Outpost in the first place." ”
"Second brother, you can only say this now, if the old man hears it, he doesn't know how to fix you. ”
Zhang Siping said and glanced at Ling Zikai inadvertently.
It was the old man's decision to let Zhang Jun go down to the grassroots level, but if you really want to talk about it, it has an inseparable relationship with Ling Zikai. Fortunately, Zhang Jiefang still understood the matter and did not spill his resentment on Ling Zikai.
"As a soldier, it is their responsibility to defend the territory and hunt down lawbreakers. This time, Xiaojun did a good job, and it can be regarded as giving our old Zhang family a face. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have waited here for four or five hours in person, and wouldn't even sit down!"
Ling Zikai looked at the still closed door of the operating room, thought for a while, and said, "Commander Zhang, do you want me to go in and have a look?"
Although Zhang Siping didn't know how Ling Zikai cured the old man's illness in the first place, judging from his father's behavior of treating the other party as the patron saint of the Zhang family, there must be something mysterious about the young man in front of him that people can't know.
After groaning for a while, Zhang Siping nodded, walked to the front of the operating room, and rang the pager doorbell on the side.
After a while, the door of the room opened, and a female nurse wearing a light blue isolation gown and a mask walked out.
After seeing Zhang Siping standing by the door, the female nurse pulled down her mask, revealed a handsome face, and said, "Commander Zhang, do you have any instructions?"
Zhang Siping asked, "How's the operation going?"
"Commander Zhang, the operation is still in progress. ”
Zhang Siping pointed his finger at Ling Zikai and said, "This is the doctor my father specially invited to treat Zhang Jun, I want to go in and have a look, you can arrange it!"
The nurse looked at Ling Zikai suspiciously, obviously a little hard to believe that the young man in front of her, who looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen, could be a doctor with superb medical skills, so she hesitated and said, "Commander Zhang, this operation has been carefully arranged before it begins, if the chief surgeon is temporarily replaced, I am afraid it will have some impact on the success of the entire operation." ”
Ling Zikai said: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look from the side, and I won't participate in your operation!"
Seeing Ling Zikai say this, and it was the order given by Old Man Zhang, the female nurse couldn't stop it anymore, nodded and said, "Okay, you come in with me!"
