The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 660: Father-In-Law’s Large Convoy

With the flashlight shining in, the fine drizzle looked like a curtain as Su Yun showed a dazed expression.

“Stop fooling around.” Zheng Ren covered his face with his hand and shouted in a low voice.

“Boss, you’re courting death.” Su Yun waved his hand, the light swaying illuminating his surroundings like a lightsaber. “If the aftershocks are just a bit bigger, we’ll be buried alive.”

“It’s okay.” Zheng Ren smiled. “Hurry up and prepare the power supply. There won’t be so many aftershocks.”

Su Yun was speechless. They had walked all the way from the airport and the aftershocks were frequent. Even now, the ground was still shaking and they could not even stand properly.

Zheng Ren had gone crazy...

Su Yun was silent and followed Zheng Ren all the way back.

“Zhao Yunlong!” Zheng Ren shouted.

His voice sounded small when drowned by the rain and no one responded.

Zheng Ren continued to look for Zhao Yunlong.

After looking for ten minutes, he found him near a ruin. Zhao Yunlong was digging the ruins with the young and strong survivors as well as some able-bodied rescue team members.

“Chief Zhao, come here,” Zheng Ren said.

“Hmm?” Zhao Yunlong wiped the rain off his face and strode over.

“How many generators do we have for this rescue mission?” Zheng Ren asked.

“One. The people from the military medical university are using it to power the ventilator for surgery,” Zhao Yunlong said.

“Chief Zhao, contact the headquarters. The next time a rescue helicopter comes over, I want two lead aprons, some common catheters, embolic catheters, contrast agents, embolic agents, medical supplies for interventional surgery, and a diesel generator,” Zheng Ren said.

“Huh?” Zhao Yunlong was stunned.

Why did he need so many things in the middle of this mess?

Zheng Ren saw Zhao Yunlong’s expression and knew what he was going to say. Zheng Ren knew that he was not good at convincing others.

He took half a step back and patted Su Yun’s back with his right hand before pushing him to the front.

Fck, Su Yun cursed in his heart.

It was always like this. Couldn’t things be new for once? Besides, what did Zhao Yunlong’s expression mean? Was he questioning the Boss’ decision?

In Su Yun’s opinion, it was alright if he was the one questioning him but if it were others, they were considered his enemy. He had to nip all hostility in the bud.

In an instant, Su Yun’s fighting spirit burst out.

Sure enough, under Su Yun’s sharp tongue, Zhao Yunlong did not have the strength to fight back.

He was very helpless. Just as he was about to use the satellite phone to contact the frontline command center, Zheng Ren suddenly said, “Chief Zhao, get the frontline command center to mobilize kidney physicians and dialysis machines all over the country. This is a big matter. Please make sure it happens to prevent any further mishaps from occurring.”

If an ordinary junior doctor had said this, Zhao Yunlong would have kicked him out long ago. He did not know anything so how could he just butt into this stuff just like that?!

Of course, the emergency department would focus on the surgery department and the whole country would send in kidney physicians. It all felt like bullsht?

However, Zheng Ren had repeatedly emphasized this matter so he could not help but take it seriously.

Zhao Yunlong knew how amazing Little Zheng was. In the beginning, he had met him at the Imperial Capital. In the past few months, Little Zheng had repeatedly made people gasp in admiration.

A few hours ago, he had used local anesthesia to cut out the spleen and sew up the liver. This kind of unconventional operation made Zhao Yunlong even more amazed.

It was common for trauma to cause acute kidney failure, but it was a little exaggerated to mention just how common it was.

Although Zhao Yunlong had doubts, he still cautiously believed in him. He used a satellite phone to contact the frontline command headquarters and told the higher-ups what Zheng Ren had said.

The rest was up to fate.

As night fell, the rain gradually subsided. However, the fog in the mountains was getting thicker. He did not know if he would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Zheng Ren knew the idiom ‘Sichuan dogs bark at the Sun’. It would be a rare sight for them to witness the sun in Sichuan’s foggy weather.

Even if he could not see the sun, Zheng Ren hoped that there would be slightly better weather. He did not want it to delay the arrival of the army troops and rescue helicopters.

The people were busy but the aftershocks were still incessant. It was as if they were on a stormy ship, using all their strength to save the people on the leaky ship.

..

..

Xie Ning took off his suit and wore a set of dusty-looking sportswear. He looked simple and neat as he led the convoy all the way to Chengdu.

When the earthquake happened, he was in Shaanxi. The distance was close so he felt the strong aftershocks.

He realized that something had happened and it was something big too!

After understanding the situation, he immediately contacted his local acquaintances and hired a large convoy, almost emptying a Carrefour warehouse.

The scale of the operation and the speed of their reaction were astonishing.

After a long journey, the road into Sichuan was very bumpy. Especially at night, they did not dare to drive too fast.

Along the way, Xie Ning saw several troops with ancient numbers traveling throughout the night and brushing past him.

Every time he encountered such a situation, Xie Ning would instruct the convoy to pull over and make way for the troops. Using the sound of horns to salute each other, Xie Ning’s heart grew heavier as he watched the glorious troops leave.

The matter was definitely bigger than he had imagined. Xie Ning realized that.

The 15th Army of the first airborne unit had moved out on the same day. Xie Ning could not help but attempt to interpret what that meant. However, when he saw the honor troops of various ancient titles enter the river with military precision, he raised the emergency situation once again.

His reaction was really quick. Xie Ning leaned on the back of the front passenger seat of the truck and looked out of the window at the drizzling rain as he thought to himself.

The troops that had just passed should be the Tiger Regiment stationed in Jinan based on their badges.

It had not even been 24 hours since they had arrived from Shandong. How much pressure was there?

He estimated that the long-distance raids during the war weren’t even as intense as this.

He felt his heart heavy as he asked, “Sir, do you have a cigarette you can spare?”

“Yes.” The driver of the truck smiled honestly and said, “They’re cheap. A box of Yellow Fruit Trees costs five yuan. I’m just afraid that it might not be for your tastes.”

“Please give me one.” Xie Ning had not smoked for many years. On such a night, his blood was boiling. It was as if he had returned to a time when he was building his business empire many years ago.

The spicy tobacco lingered in the narrow carriage for a long time. It was only then that Xie Ning realized he had not opened the window.

Once he did, a gust of cold air came in. He felt refreshed and much more energetic.

“Boss, you recovered quickly!” the driver said with a smile.

Xie Ning knew what he meant. He smiled and said, “Are we close?”

“There are more than 20 trucks and each truck is pulling two sections. They are almost halfway from being overloaded. The brothers are all risking their lives,” the driver said. “I just don’t know if they will be detained when we enter the city.”

“I don’t think so. Now that we are all in the disaster relief area, who would have the mind to care about the overloaded vehicles?” Xie Ning said.

After chatting with the driver for a while, a row of first-aid emergency vehicles came up from the side ramp.

Xie Ning narrowed his eyes. Through the curtain of rain, he saw that the license plate number of the first-aid emergency vehicles came from many places. They belonged to many small cities and hospitals in the Shaanxi Province.

The vehicle pulled over and made way for the ambulance convoy. The driver honked his horn to give a signal.

The entire long stretch of convoy vehicles rang out almost at the same time. The situation felt solemn.

Several emergency vehicles belonging to different cities and counties were stunned for a moment before immediately realizing what the other party meant through their actions.

They honked back and passed by, running in the same direction as they kept moving forward!
