Chapter 797: Working Together
It was a dark night, and the accident site was illuminated by the flames from the exploding luxury car, which was ablaze with flames. Like a ferocious beast, it devoured everything on the hillside, making crackling sounds and sending sparks flying.
Just as the flames were blazing and the situation was tense, a sharp siren and the roar of a fire truck were heard in the distance, coming from far and near, breaking the silence of the night.
A fire truck and several police cars rushed towards the accident site at lightning speed, with police lights flashing and intertwined with the burning flames, reflecting a thrilling scene.
At the same time, Professor Luo Shaoqing from the military hospital and his guard Qin Haibin were driving a jeep towards this side at the fastest speed.
The jeep sped along the road like a flash of black lightning, and the wheels made a rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground.
Qin Haibin gripped the steering wheel with a focused expression, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead due to extreme tension.
I was extremely anxious, knowing that the situation here was still unclear and rescue was urgently needed. The leader waiting for surgery in the military hospital was in critical condition, and every minute and every second was crucial.
After the fire truck and police car arrived at the scene, the firefighters acted quickly and skillfully operated the high-pressure water gun.
Streams of water spurted out like silver dragons, rushing towards the burning luxury car at the foot of the hill, trying to suppress the raging fire.
At the same time, several police officers quickly approached Jiang Chengyu, Mu Xiaoji, and Rong Shishan with concerned expressions on their faces.
One of the police officers asked, "Are you all injured? Have you called an ambulance?"
Mu Xiaoji shook his head slightly and responded, "We're rushing to the military hospital. We'll treat the wounds once we get there. They're just superficial injuries, not a big deal."
The police officer nodded slightly and continued, "Okay, but you have to go back with us and make a record of the accident."
Mu Xiaoji looked a little nervous when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "How about this, Lao Rong, you go back with them to take the statement.
We are two doctors. There is an operation halfway through at the military hospital. The situation is urgent and we must rush over to save the patient. There is no time to lose! "
Before he finished speaking, a jeep stopped steadily beside them. The door was quickly pushed open, and Professor Luo Shaoqing got out of the car as quickly as possible. He walked hurriedly and came to the front of everyone in a few steps.
He hurriedly took out his military hospital ID, forced a smile on his face, and said to the police officer:
"Comrade, these two are experts specially invited by our hospital. The situation is urgent, and I must take them back to the hospital immediately to save people.
If there is anything that needs to be dealt with, please tell my guard!" After saying this, he waved to the guard Qin Haibin in the car.
Seeing this, Qin Haibin quickly opened the car door, jumped out of the car nimbly, trotted to the crowd, and with a "bang", gave a standard military salute.
Luo Shaoqing ordered with a serious expression, "You stay here and help the police properly handle the relevant incidents here. The situation at the hospital is urgent and we can't delay any longer. We'll leave first."
Qin Haibin saluted again and responded loudly: "Yes, Professor!"
Afterwards, Luo Shaoqing stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji towards the parking space, while anxiously ordering:
"There's a first aid kit in the car. Get in and treat your wounds. I'll drive."
Jiang Chengyu turned around and shouted to Rong Shishan, "Old Rong, come here for a moment. I'll help you treat your wound."
Seeing this, the police officer on the side politely made a gesture of invitation and followed Rong Shishan to the military district's jeep.
Jiang Chengyu skillfully opened the car door, leaned in, picked up the medicine box, turned around and handed it to Mu Xiaoji.
Mu Xiaoji took the medicine box quickly, opened it, and took out the tweezers from it.
He carefully picked up the cotton wool, dipped it in an appropriate amount of iodine, and gently treated the wound on Rong Shishan's face.
He carefully wiped the blood around the wound, and while treating it, he warned: "Although the wound is not deep, you must not touch water for the next two days to avoid infection.
We have to go first. Thank you for your hard work here. When you are done, go back by yourself!"
Rong Shishan nodded slightly and said comfortingly: "Okay, I'm here, you two can go to the hospital and save people without worry!"
After that, Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji swiftly got into the car. Luo Shaoqing quickly started the engine, and the jeep sped away from the scene of the accident.
The car sped along the highway. Luo Shaoqing looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding and said with emotion:
"I just saw what a mess the scene was like, with debris and flames everywhere. I was really worried about what might have happened to you. I'm so lucky that you three are safe!"
At this time, Jiang Chengyu, who was sitting in the back row, held a pair of tweezers in his left hand, holding a cotton ball dipped in iodine, and carefully cleaned the wounds on Mu Xiaoji's cheek and head.
When he looked carefully, he found that Mu Xiaoji had several new wounds on his head. Thinking of the scars left by multiple injuries within a week, Jiang Chengyu's heart suddenly tightened.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji's injured appearance, full of pity, and said softly: "If it hurts, just tell me, I will be gentler."
Mu Xiaoji was slightly startled, with mixed feelings in his heart. Perhaps it was the heartache caused by Jiang Chengyu's ruthless departure after he woke up.
It was far more unbearable than his current external injuries, so he seemed numb to them and whispered softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Luo Shaoqing saw this scene from the rearview mirror inside the car, chuckled slightly, and praised: "Boss Mu is really strong!
Looking at the several wounds on your head, I'm scared just by looking at them, let alone not feeling any pain.
I am truly happy for you from the bottom of my heart to see you two working together again to serve the people."
Mu Xiaoji's mouth curled up into a bitter smile, his eyes still a little dull, and he whispered, "Thank you!"
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji's recent wounds, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, both distressed and guilty. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Soon, Luo Shaoqing's jeep slowly drove into the courtyard of the military hospital. The hospital was brightly lit, but a tense atmosphere permeated the silence.
Mu Xiaoji pushed the door open and got out of the car. With his familiarity with the hospital's layout, he walked quickly towards the operating room without hesitation.
His steps were firm and steady, as if all the fatigue and pain were thrown behind him at this moment.
Luo Shaoqing also got out of the car in a hurry. He made a polite gesture of invitation, indicating that Jiang Chengyu should go first, and then he and Jiang Chengyu hurriedly followed Mu Xiaoji.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the operating room. They saw a row of fully armed police officers standing upright at the door like statues, with serious expressions and vigilant eyes.
The adjutant was pacing back and forth at the door nervously, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.
Seeing Luo Shaoqing and the others coming, he rushed forward as if he had seen a savior. Seeing the two familiar people, he eagerly asked, "Professor Luo, who are these two..."
Luo Shaoqing knew the situation was urgent and did not allow for much explanation. He said hurriedly, "The chief's condition is extremely difficult.
These two experts are experienced and skilled. Only they can treat the leader. Please make way."
After saying that, he walked around the adjutant and took Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji straight into the disinfection room, leaving the adjutant standing there with a confused look on his face.
Inside the sterilization room, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. The pungent smell of disinfectant filled the air, as if reminding everyone of the seriousness and urgency of this operation.
Jiang Chengyu looked solemnly at his hands being disinfected and said frankly and firmly:
"Professor Luo, things are different now. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I can no longer hold a scalpel with my right hand.
Therefore, this operation will be performed by Mu Xiaoji, and I will assist. If any risks arise during the operation, I will bear them alone.
When Luo Shaoqing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Chengyu, as if he wanted to find more reasons from his eyes.
At this time, Mu Xiaoji skillfully put on the sterile surgical gown and said in a calm tone:
"Professor Luo, please believe me. I will do my best to fulfill my mission. Even if there are any risks in the operation, it has nothing to do with him. I will bear all the consequences alone."
Luo Shaoqing was completely bewildered by the two people's words of separation. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond for a moment. He could only mutely say: "You..."
Jiang Chengyu pursed his lips, his eyes revealing an incomparable determination as he said, "Professor Luo, there is no time to lose, let's go in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a "crash" sound, the door of the operating room slowly opened, and the three of them walked into the operating room with firm beliefs and steady steps.
In the operating room, various instruments and equipment flashed indicator lights and made slight buzzing sounds.
Cao Guohua was waiting anxiously. When he saw Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji come in, he immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.
As if seeing the light in the darkness, he sighed: "Oh! Finally, you two are here."
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji quickly got into the state, and their eyes immediately became focused and sharp.
Jiang Chengyu first quickly browsed through the data on the monitoring instrument. These data were like codes, recording the real-time status of the patient's various body functions.
Then, he carefully examined the brain imaging data, trying to interpret every detail of the patient's condition through those complex black and white images.
Mu Xiaoji walked closer to the operating table, bent over and carefully observed the patient's condition. Relying on years of accumulated clinical experience, he made a preliminary judgment on the patient's overall condition.
Cao Guohua walked over to the two of them and pointed out the problems encountered during the operation one by one while pointing out the imaging data:
"You see, the tumor is tightly adhered to the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. These areas are richly supplied with blood, and even the slightest carelessness can cause heavy bleeding.
Furthermore, the tumor's location is critical, compressing the central nervous system, which requires extremely high surgical precision."
Jiang Chengyu nodded, pointed to the lesion in the image, and explained it to Mu Xiaoji in detail:
"This is the core area of the lesion. The surrounding nerve fibers are intricate and complex. During surgery, we need to avoid these key areas and use delicate operating techniques.
During tumor removal, we must always pay attention to protecting the nerves and minimizing damage to surrounding tissues."
Cao Guohua looked at Jiang Chengyu, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "Professor Jiang,
You are a highly skilled neurosurgeon, so why don't you perform the surgery yourself? Your position as Chief is special, and this operation shouldn't be taken lightly."
Jiang Chengyu lowered his head slightly, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, Professor Cao.
My right hand was injured in an accident and the meridians in it have become necrotic, so I can no longer hold anything.
But Xiaoji's theories and skills are every bit as good as my experience. I have complete confidence in him and believe he can save the commander's life."
After saying that, he decisively picked up the surgical instruments and handed them to Mu Xiaoji, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.
Without any hesitation, Mu Xiaoji took the instruments steadily and began the critical step of lesion removal during the operation with full concentration. Thus began a battle with death.
