But at this moment, Lin Yi could no longer care about anything else. He rushed towards Zhou Liang with all his might to check his wound.
âBear with it a little longer. Itâll be fine. With me around, itâll definitely be
fineâ¦â
Lin Yiâs body trembled violently. The bloody wound was like a sharp knife as it cut through his sensitive nerves. Even his words became incoherent.
âB-Bossâ¦â
Zhou Liang spoke intermittently. His mental state was not good to begin with.
With an injury this bad, his consciousness began to wane.
âI, Iâve let you down. I, I didnât guard the oreâ¦â
âI donât blame you. I donât blame you for this. Itâs all my fault.â
Lin Yiâs eyes were red as he picked Zhou Liang up with both hands. âWith me around, Iâll definitely be able to save your leg. You have to believe me.â
âB-Boss, you go first. Donât worry about meâ¦â
âIf you want to die, weâll die here together. I canât leave you behind!â
Lin Yi carried Zhou Liang into the car.
After continuing for more than forty kilometers, Lin Yi found a small city.
The small city wasnât big, and Lin Yi couldnât name it. It wasnât even a third the size of Santa Clara, but to Lin Yi, finding such a place was a blessing from the heavens.
Because what he wanted was not to escape, but to find a hospital!
After driving into the city, Lin Yi saw a private hospital. It was small, but it was enough.
He quickly stopped the car and carried the unconscious Zhou Liang out of the car. He rushed into the hospital immediately.
The small town had a very limited area, so there was no sight of the hustle and bustle of a big city. Even though it was already past seven in the morning, many of the shops on both sides of the street were still closed and not in business.
The hospital was no exception.
Lin Yi didnât care about any of that and kicked open the door of the hospital. Hearing the noise at the door, the middle-aged couple who were having breakfast upstairs rushed down. They were shocked to see Lin Yi rushing in with someone in his arms.
âWhatâs wrong with his leg? Tell me how it happened?â
The doctor was very responsible and did not hold Lin Yi accountable. Instead,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
he immediately inquired about Zhou Liangâs condition.
âThis has nothing to do with you. I need all the medical equipment you have here. Go and get it for me!â
The middle-aged doctor was somewhat stunned. For a doctor, such an operation was unacceptable.
However, the fierce Lin Yi didnât give him any chance to react, showing an expression that looked ready to devour someone.
âHurry up or Iâll kill you!â
The middle-aged doctor was so frightened that he became flustered. He beckoned the two of them into the operating theater.
Although the place was small, it had all the essentials.
As one of the few private hospitals in the small city, even though the medical equipment was not advanced, it carried the most basic surgical equipment and tools.
There were a few simple pieces of equipment in the operating theater. Lin Yi placed Zhou Liang on the bed, patted his shoulder, and said to him,
âIâm here. Donât worry. Iâm the best surgeon in the world. Iâll definitely save your leg. Donât be afraid.â
Zhou Liang grinned. âIâm not even afraid of death. Even if I lose a leg, I can still withstand it.â
â Donât say anything else. Lie here â youâll be fine after a nap.
Lin Yi found the blood pressure belt and heart rate clip and fixed them on Zhou Liangâs body.
Then, he took out the anesthetic and began to inject it intravenously.
A few minutes later, Zhou Liang lost consciousness. His vital signs were stable, and Lin Yi began to treat the gunshot wound on his leg.
A leg injury wouldnât be life-threatening, but Lin Yiâs priority was to save his leg-
Lin Yi was busy in the operating room while the middle-aged doctor and his wife stood outside.
âWhere did those two come from? The manâs leg looks like a gunshot wound.
âIâm not too sure either. Maybe heâs a hooligan from around here.â The middle-aged doctor said.
âI donât want to take too much responsibility. Besides, they donât look like good people. Since he can operate on my own, Iâll leave it to them. Let them handle it on their own.â
The couple was quite simple and honest. They didnât say much, but they were a little afraid.
They had never experienced such a thing before.
About two hours later, the surgery was over.
Lin Yi wrapped a thick gauze around Zhou Liangâs thigh.
He did his best, but he didnât know if the latter could keep his leg.
Tgus all depended on Zhou Liangâs luck.
âHelp me carry him to the ward.â
âOkay, okay, okay.â
There were only two wards in the hospital.
One of them was a four-person room, and the other was an eight-person room.
It could be said to be very simple.
After returning to the ward, Lin Yi injected Zhou Liang with amino acids and glucose to replenish his strength.
Then, Lin Yi asked the middle-aged doctor to buy some things. After holding on for so long and doing more than two hours of surgery, Lin Yiâs mental state was about to reach its limit.
If not for the fact that he was had been preservering, he would not have been able to survive this surgery.
The doctor and his wife were very obedient. They didnât dare to go against Lin Yiâs wishes and went out to buy many things for them to eat.
Not long after, Zhou Liang slowly opened his eyes. Although he did not look too good, he was stable.
âLetâs eat something first. Weâll stay here for a day and leave tomorrow.â Lin Yiâs initial plan was to find a bigger city and hide quietly so that no one would notice.
Despite the commotion, there wasnât much of an issue hiding here, but Lin Yi still wanted to minimize the risk. They couldnât stay here for long.
Moreover, the variety of medicines here was incomplete. Zhou Liangâs wound needed further treatment, and they had to find a big city to get more effective medicine. This was crucial for his recovery.
âBoss? Have you eaten yet?â
While eating the food Lin Yi was feeding him, Zhou Liang asked.
âDonât worry. Iâm afraid of dying, and Iâm not as reckless as you. Even if I starve you, I need to eat first.â
âThis is such a romantic scene, Boss, you should be gentler.
âIâve never fed a man in my life. Youâre the first one, so be grateful.â
âIâve also given you my first time. Usually, itâs those bikini-clad internet celebrities who feed me. Youâre the first person of the same sex doing this.â âJust eat and stop talking. Even eating canât shut your mouth.â Zhou Liang chuckled, having obviously come to terms with his leg injury. When they joined the Central Guard Brigade, they had received education and training in this regard.
Their mental resilience and acceptance were far beyond that of others.
At least his life was saved. As for the leg, whether he kept it or not didnât matter anymore.
âBoss, are we going to stay here forever?â
âI just checked. Thereâs a city called Cologne more than 200 kilometers away.
Letâs stay here for a day before we head over.â
Zhou Liang nodded and sighed.
âBut after such a long time, we still couldnât keep the ore.
âI expected it when I saw him. I can accept this outcome.
âBoss, do you know that man in black called Zero?â Zhou Liang probed.
