711: The success rate of the surgery is only 50%.
"Okay, I'll submit the report tomorrow."
Xiao Niannian had just put down the phone when it rang again.
"Hello."
Xiao Niannian picked up the phone.
On the other end of the line was Mother Xiao's voice.
"Niannian."
Hearing her Adoptive Mother's voice, Xiao Niannian immediately called out.
"Mom, what's wrong? Don't cry."
Xiao Niannian heard her Adoptive Mother crying, and her heart grew anxious.
"What happened? Tell me."
Hearing her daughter's words, Mother Xiao burst into tears.
"Niannian, your eldest brother was shot, and he's unconscious now..."
What?
Third Brother was shot?
"Mom, where are you now? Which hospital is Eldest Brother in?"
"We're at the Military Region Hospital in the Chengdu..."
"comrade."
"Doctor, someone fainted."
Xiao Niannian listened to the shouts on the phone, and her heart also grew anxious.
Mom fainted, and Third Brother is now at the Military Region Hospital in the Chengdu.
She immediately got up and ran outside.
Xiao Niannian ran directly to the Captain's office.
"Captain, I need to request a week's leave."
Hearing this and seeing Xiao Niannian's serious expression, Captain Chen asked.
"I approve. What happened?"
"My third brother, my Eldest Brother from the Xiao Family, was shot. He's currently at the Military Region Hospital in the Chengdu..."
Xiao Niannian recounted the situation.
What?
Xiao Hongjun was shot? His situation is extremely dangerous now? At the Military Region Hospital in the Chengdu?
"I'll make a call and see if there's a plane going to the Chengdu from the Military Region today..."
Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li's voices rang out simultaneously, speaking in unison.
"Thank you, Commanders."
Xiao Niannian saluted them.
The two went to the phone and immediately made calls.
After a while, they both hung up the phone.
"Niannian, we've found out. In half an hour, there's a military plane going to the Chengdu. I'll write you a pass now and have Lu Jing take you to the military airport."
"Yes."
Xiao Niannian had just sent someone to find Lu Jing, and Lu Jing had already arrived.
Xiao Niannian turned and looked at Lu Jing.
Lu Jing's eyes were full of concern.
"I'll take you."
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing walked quickly outside.
"Wife, don't worry, Third Brother-in-law will definitely be fine."
"Mm."
Xiao Niannian responded, and the two got into the car. Lu Jing sped up, heading towards the military airport.
This speed was much faster than usual.
After Xiao Niannian arrived, she quickly boarded the helicopter.
Soon, the plane took off.
A few hours later, the plane arrived at the military airport in the Chengdu.
As soon as she got off the plane, someone shouted loudly.
"Comrade Xiao."
"Comrade Xiao, I'm here to take you to the Military Region Hospital."
Xiao Niannian saw this comrade and recognized him as a Comrade-in-arms she had met before.
"Thank you."
This comrade drove Xiao Niannian to the Military Region Hospital.
Upon arriving at the Military Region Hospital, Xiao Niannian immediately rushed to the operating room.
"Mom."
Hearing her daughter's voice, Mother Xiao thought she was dreaming.
She looked up at the doorway.
Seeing Niannian appear before her, she was shocked.
"Niannian, why are you here?"
"I heard you say Eldest Brother was shot! I rushed over immediately."
But wasn't her daughter at the training base in Yangcheng? How did she get here so quickly? It's only been a few hours!
"Mom, how is Eldest Brother?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Mother Xiao's tears instantly welled up.
"The doctor operated on your eldest brother, but there's still a bullet that hasn't been removed... Now your eldest brother's situation is very dangerous. The bullet's position is very critical; if the bleeding doesn't stop, your eldest brother..."
Mother Xiao burst into tears.
"Mom, Eldest Brother will be fine." Xiao Niannian hugged her Adoptive Mother, comforting her.
"Niannian."
Mother Xiao hugged her daughter tightly, tears flowing silently.
"Mom, what happened to Eldest Brother?"
Xiao Niannian was confused. Xiao Hongjun and his team weren't Special Forces Members on the front lines, so how could he have been shot?
"Your eldest brother and his team were sent to escort confidential documents. On the way, they encountered armed thugs. Your eldest brother and his team protected the masses..."
Protected the masses?
Soldiers would never retreat in danger; they would always rush forward to protect the masses immediately.
But this matter was a bit strange.
"Were those thugs caught?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Mother Xiao nodded.
"But they're all dead..."
Dead men tell no tales?
"What about Eldest Brother's other comrades-in-arms?"
Hearing this, Mother Xiao wiped away her tears and said.
"Another one was severely injured and has already woken up..."
Xiao Niannian looked at the closed operating room door and asked.
"Mom, what did the doctor say about when Eldest Brother can come out?"
Hearing this, Mother Xiao replied.
"There's no definite time yet."
Xiao Niannian walked to the operating room door, listening to the movements inside.
"Director, Comrade Xiao's condition is stable..."
"Okay, then open the door and inform the family about the situation..."
The operating room door opened, and the nurse inside walked out.
"Comrade Xiao's family."
Xiao Niannian and Mother Xiao stepped forward.
"Comrade Xiao's condition is now stable, but the bullet in his chest still cannot be removed. The Director and the Dean are thinking of a way..."
Just then, the Dean walked over with some people.
"How is Comrade Xiao's condition?"
"Reporting, Dean, the other bullets in Comrade Xiao's body have been removed, but the one in his chest is in a very critical position. The Director is currently thinking of a way..."
The Dean heard this and said.
"comrades, we will definitely find a way to save Comrade Xiao..."
After comforting Mother Xiao, the Dean walked into the operating room.
He had just received several calls, from Yangcheng and the Capital City, all from Commanders, who were very concerned about Comrade Xiao Hongjun's condition.
The Commanders instructed that Comrade Xiao Hongjun's life must be saved.
Xiao Niannian listened to the Dean and the Director talking, and she heard some keywords.
"If someone skilled in Traditional Chinese Medicine could help stop the bleeding, the success rate of the surgery might be seventy to eighty percent. Currently, the most skilled person for this surgery is Old Comrade Lei..."
Old Comrade Lei? Is it the person she's thinking of?
"It's a pity that Old Comrade Lei is in the Capital City right now; otherwise, we could try to invite him to take a look..."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian was already certain it was the Old Comrade Lei she knew.
Ten minutes later, the Dean walked out, looked at Mother Xiao and Xiao Niannian, and said.
"comrades, our hospital can perform Comrade Xiao Hongjun's surgery, but the success rate is only fifty percent... If we can find a skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to help stop the bleeding... or if Old Comrade Lei takes action, the success rate will be much higher..."
Old Comrade Lei?
Mother Xiao heard this and knew that he was a doctor who specifically treated Great Leaders. Even if she wanted to find him, she wouldn't be able to.
