Major General Chen snorted. “Be careful not to mess anything up.”
Xiao Ying ignored him, or rather, everyone ignored him.
Everyone was busy preparing for the surgery.
Major General Chen stood by the side with a dark expression, evil thoughts rising.
The list of promoted lieutenant generals had not been released yet, but Qin Yue was his only competitor.
If Xiao Ying really cured the person this time, the position of lieutenant general would definitely be Qin Yue’s. If she killed him, even Qin Yue’s current position as a major general might not be guaranteed.
Thinking of that, Major General Chen no longer opposed to Xiao Ying performing the surgery.
He did not believe that a woman could really solve a problem that even a top-notch doctor would be helpless about.
Xiao Ying quickly changed into her scrubs and walked into the operating theater.
The moment she entered, she saw that almost all the doctors were there and stopped in her tracks.
Before she could speak, a doctor took the initiative to say, “We’ll stay far away. We won’t make a sound and disturb your surgery.”
With that said, they collectively took a step back.
Xiao Ying nodded.
Fortunately, this operating theater was large. Otherwise, it would not have been able to hold so many people.
The injured person was already unconscious. The most serious injury was a gunshot wound to the heart.
He was still breathing, but it was starting to get weaker and weaker, as if he would stop at any moment.
Xiao Ying sealed his blood flow with silver needles and used a knife to cut open his chest.
The surgery was ongoing inside. Qin Yue and Major General Chen were standing outside the door.
Shortly after, a few officers walked over in a hurry.
The leader asked, “How’s the situation?”
Before Qin Yue could speak, Major General Chen took the initiative to complain, “Commander Yang, I don’t know where Qin Yue got a twenty-something-year-old woman to operate on him. This is too childish.”
The person’s situation was special. They could only use “him” as a substitute.
The expression of the person called Commander Yang changed, but he did not flare up immediately, waiting for Qin Yue’s explanation.
Qin Yue saluted and said, “Academician Xiao Ying’s medical skills cannot be underestimated. I believe she can do it. No one besides her can save his life.”
These words were filled with promise.
Major General Chen immediately asked, “If not, how are you going to bear the responsibility?”
Qin Yue said in a deep voice, “My military rank.”
When he said this, the crowd fell silent for a moment.
This must be serious.
Major General Chen wanted to say more, but Commander Yang interrupted him.
“Alright, it’s useless for you to continue arguing. Let’s just quietly wait.”
As he spoke, he looked at Major General Chen with a warning gaze, telling him not to cause any more trouble.
Major General Chen pursed his lips. He glanced at the lights in the operating theater and looked at Qin Yue mockingly.
He could only blame himself for being too arrogant. This matter originally had nothing to do with them, but he insisted on taking the responsibility on himself and finding a woman to do the job.
The operation lasted for seven hours.
The moment Xiao Ying came out, she felt dizzy.
Behind her, the doctors pushed out a hospital bed. The young man on it was pale. If there had been a hint of life earlier, now he looked like a cold body.
Xiao Ying had no time to explain. She covered her forehead and said, “I need to rest.”
Qin Yue quickly arranged a room and asked a nurse to help her over.
Major General Chen immediately said, “Could it be that he hasn’t recovered and she is pretending to be ill to escape responsibility?”
He then looked at Qin Yue and said, “I hope Major General Qin hasn’t forgotten what you said earlier.”
Xiao Ying also looked up at him in confusion.
Qin Yue explained, “I just said that if you can’t treat him, I’ll take off my military uniform.
Xiao Ying understood. She looked at Major General Chen’s smug expression and stopped the doctor who was about to speak.
Her expression instantly became heavy as she said, “If we lose the bet just now, Qin Yue will lose his position as a major general. But if he wins, there will be no stakes at all. This unfair bet cannot be counted at all.”
