After a five-hour surgery, Wang Qinhai was brought out of the operating room and sent to the ICU for close monitoring.
This was a military hospital. Even if the Dark Hall wanted to do something, it would be virtually impossible. No matter how deeply they infiltrated, they couldn't penetrate a military hospital.
At six in the morning.
Ye Longlin, Yuan Gang, Xuan Niao, and Han Junsi, who had barely slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, Wang Qinhai is out of danger. He sustained extensive burns covering sixty percent of his body. He cannot be exposed to the air for a month. Once his skin comes into contact with the outside world and pathogens adhere to it, the consequences will be severe. Any slight carelessness could lead to widespread infection, which even a divine doctor couldn't save. Furthermore, with the high-level amputation of both his legs, there's a high probability of liver dysfunction. To survive, he'll need to take medication lifelong, and also..."
Yuan Gang directly interrupted the chief physician, waving his hand. "This is Wang Qinhai. Don't worry about him owing medical fees. What I want to know now is whether he can leave the hospital tomorrow. He has something we need to know, and it's of great importance."
Upon hearing this, the chief physician's expression immediately changed.
"Even if you want to know, you shouldn't be so impatient! If the patient gets infected, it could be fatal! Although you are soldiers and prioritize results, you should also consider the patient's physical condition. Right now, his body cannot withstand strenuous activity. If any issues arise... he is a life!"
Yuan Gang said coldly, "I don't have time to argue with you. If you think my rank is insufficient, I'll have my boss talk to you, or I'll have the head of state security come talk to you personally. If that's still not enough, I'll tell my boss to have the Glorious Hall issue an order!"
Hearing this, the chief physician was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say. He could only sigh, clearly understanding that the other party's identity and status, as well as the urgency of the matter, left no room for a slow recovery.
"I'll arrange an ambulance and bring all the necessary equipment. Since you are so eager, I can only do this. Although it might not be very useful, I have to be responsible for my patient."
Although he was just an unremarkable patient among thousands, with his status as the richest man in Chang'an and the military's attention, he was undoubtedly the most important. As the chief physician, he had to ensure his safety no matter what. If Wang Qinhai died because of this matter in the end, he would have nothing to say, except that Wang Qinhai deserved to die.
"Cough, cough... It's okay... I can handle it... I'll take you to get the list..."
"Since the Dark Hall... wants me dead... then I can't let them have it easy either..."
Wang Qinhai coughed twice and slowly woke up on the hospital bed, a determined look appearing in his eyes. He never expected that the Dark Hall's resolve to kill him was so decisive, even using bombs. If Yuan Gang hadn't shielded him that time, he might have died already!
Yuan Gang gave him a deep look and chuckled, "Did you hear that?"
Wang Qinhai nodded with difficulty, "I heard. I understand."
"As the head of the Dark Hall in Chang'an, I know exactly what methods the Dark Hall employs. Your approach is correct. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it will be for me. Only by handing over this list to you will I be somewhat safer. I just didn't expect the Dark Hall's killing intent towards me to be so strong."
Saying this, he shook his head with a bitter smile. As long as he was still alive, the other party would continue to try and kill him. The next to come wouldn't be Bashan Tian, but the even more terrifying members of the Execution Hall. At that time, he would be like a firefly in the darkness, a beacon attracting the Execution Hall to eliminate him.
"Since you understand, that's good. Rest for a while first. We'll dispatch our people to block the roads before we proceed. Your current condition cannot withstand another explosion."
After Yuan Gang finished speaking, he left directly.
Meanwhile, Ye Longlin was still at the Xia family's residence. Since having this small family, no matter how late it was, he would always return home.
"Are you tired?"
Mu Hanqi asked softly as she brought breakfast out from the kitchen, her eyes filled with concern. She didn't know when Ye Longlin had returned last night, only knowing that it seemed dawn had broken shortly after he got back. Staying up all night was bad for his health, and she naturally felt distressed.
"I'm used to it. I've endured battles for three days and three nights without sleep when I was fighting overseas. These things now are minor."
Mu Hanqi pouted and mumbled, "You never tell me stories about your past."
Ye Longlin chuckled, "What's the fun in talking about it now? When we retire and no longer care about these things, and life becomes peaceful, then reminiscing about these events will be more meaningful. Don't you think so?"
Mu Hanqi rolled her eyes and said playfully, "Yes, yes, whatever you say is right. Eat quickly, you can't keep your mouth shut even when eating."
Xuan Niao approached and respectfully called out, "Sister-in-law."
Mu Hanqi nodded.
"Wang Qinhai has woken up. He heard the conversation between Yuan Gang and the chief physician, and Wang Qinhai has agreed to go and get the list today. The Dragon Pavilion members are already clearing the roads, and it's expected to take about an hour."
Ye Longlin nodded, "Alright. We'll set off after breakfast."
The old man came out at this moment and looked deeply at Ye Longlin, only saying one sentence: "Be careful."
After a simple breakfast, Ye Longlin left by car.
The place where Wang Qinhai kept the items was Jin'en Temple, a famous scenic spot in Chang'an. In previous years, it had fallen into disrepair due to neglect. Later, it was thanks to Wang Qinhai's sponsorship that it was revitalized, leading to the Jin'en Temple of today. For Jin'en Temple, Wang Qinhai was their savior, their benefactor.
"Jin'en Temple is an hour's drive from here. Our people have cleared the entire road and its surroundings, and the military will take over afterwards. We are going to the hospital to pick up Wang Qinhai now. Since he is a seriously injured patient, hospital staff will accompany us throughout the journey."
Xuan Niao said in the car.
Ye Longlin nodded, "That's not important. What's important is to ensure the safety of the journey. If there's another incident, Wang Qinhai will surely be lost, and we won't be able to get the list we want."
Xuan Niao nodded, "I understand."
At the hospital, under Yuan Gang's watchful eye, the ambulance was ready to depart.
"We'll depart in twenty minutes."
