Chapter 1716 - Thick-skinned

Sun Dongqing thought that he was returning to the ward. She smiled coldly. “You really know how to act like a filial son! I’m not going to accompany you anymore. Yingying will call you later. You take care of yourself.”

Then, she didn’t even bother to look at Ye Zhifan. She grabbed her coat and left the hospital without looking back.

Did he think that she wanted to come over? It was just because she still cared about his reputation in the political field. Why did she have to accompany that damned old woman until so late on a Saturday? It was snowing so much, why couldn’t she stay at home comfortably and go on the computer?

Since Ye Ying studied abroad, Ye Zhifan and Sun Dongqing interacted less and less with each other. They didn’t even have normal interactions with each other anymore. They were worse than strangers even though they were living under the same roof. They didn’t even have any pleasantries.

Ye Zhifan would rather talk to Ye Ying than talk to Sun Dongqing. He was afraid that Sun Dongqing would drag him down.

His wife left without looking back. He stepped into the elevator without looking back.

Commander Liu personally came to the municipal people’s hospital so late at night. It could be seen that the leaders of the military were in the midst of rescuing someone. If he didn’t go up and greet them now, when would he?

Opportunities would never wait for anyone. If he did not take the initiative, he would never be able to succeed.

Just like his niece, Ye Jian. When she found out about Grandpa Gen’s identity, she immediately thought of ways to move back. She clearly grasped the old man’s thoughts. In five years, she rose to the top. Even he couldn’t touch her now!

A trace of viciousness flashed past Ye Zhifan’s eyes. He tidied his woolen coat and patted off the non-existent dust on his coat. Then, he walked out of the elevator.

The rescue and operating rooms were on the eighth floor. The rescue room was on the left and the operating room was on the right. Ye Zhifan thought about it and walked toward the operating room.

When he walked past the quiet corridor, he saw Commander Liu with his back facing him. There was a tall figure standing beside him. He looked familiar.

“Did the professor say anything before he went in? Is there anything else we need to do?” Commander Liu’s voice was low and cold with a cold and authoritative tone. It made the soldier who was being questioned a little nervous.

He was a new recruit, and he had a certain amount of respect for his superior. He quickly replied, “Before the professor went in, he only told us to wait outside for the surgery to end. He didn’t say anything else. Company Commander Yue has completed the hospitalization procedures and paid the fees in advance. He then instructed the two of us to guard outside and report to him if there’s anything.”

Commissar Yan saw that the new recruit was frightened by his old friend and the lad’s voice was even trembling. Commissar Yan said in a gentle voice. “It’s been hard on you. When the team comes later, you guys go back and rest first. If needed, I’ll have you guys come over.

“Go ahead. Commander Liu and I will guard this place.”

It was useless for them to keep watch as they could not make decisions for anything. Hence, it was better for the two of them to keep watch over Old Liu. If anything happened, they could handle it immediately without delay.

When the political commissar sent the message, the recruits secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was said that the regiment commander was the bad guy while the political commissar was the good guy. It was indeed like this.

When the recruit from earlier talked to the regiment commander, his legs had gone weak. When he talked to the political commissar, his heart didn’t tremble as much.

When Ye Zhifan heard this, he knew that his guess was right.

As expected, a leader was in the midst of surgery, and his condition was probably not good. He needed people to watch over him.
