Chapter 152 Let's Play Along
With the blessing of the spiritual spring water, the two quickly regained their strength.
Then the two decided to go and see Chief Lu together.
The ward where Chief Lu was located was arranged in advance; it was a large, private room.
When the two of them arrived, there were still soldiers stationed outside the ward.
Just as they passed by, both of them noticed that a few people seemed a little off.
The two looked at each other and knew that the other was thinking about the same thing.
After entering the ward, Gu Nan and Zhou Qishan were on either side of Chief Lu.
Seeing that no one else was around, the two of them felt much more relieved.
"Is there any problem?" Su Niannian came to Chief Lu's bedside and looked at the data on the instrument.
"There's no problem. The anesthesia has worn off, and Chief Lu woke up once just now," Zhou Qishan said.
Su Niannian nodded.
"You must be hungry. I've already sent someone to buy some food. You can eat something first." Zhou Qishan now felt great respect for Su Niannian.
After all, the surgery was very difficult. He had inquired with surgical experts beforehand and they said that it would take more than ten hours to remove most of the shrapnel fragments.
Su Niannian not only cleaned up the shrapnel fragments so thoroughly in four hours, but also did so without damaging any organs or nerves when she pulled them out.
He's practically a god.
The five experts all wanted to line up and ask Su Niannian how she did it.
The five of them were even more eager to know what Su Niannian's background was.
How could someone so young possess such exceptional surgical skills?
"I'm just an ordinary Chinese medicine practitioner, so please don't publicize me. I'm shy around strangers," Su Niannian said somewhat seriously.
Then I looked at the old man in the Tang suit.
The old man in the Tang suit immediately understood. They had discussed this before. Su Niannian had said that after the surgery, she didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so she shouldn't be exposed to the outside world.
"I was the one who performed the surgery. Little Su was just helping me out. Do you know what to say to others?" the old man in the Tang suit said.
Zhou Qishan was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.
The message was so clear; Zhou Qishan wasn't stupid.
Understand how to communicate with others.
Su Niannian walked to Gu Nan's side and placed her hands on Gu Nan's shoulders.
Gu Nan wanted to get up and asked Su Niannian to sit down and rest for a while.
Su Niannian shook her head.
"You stay here and keep watch. I have a feeling something's wrong with someone outside," Su Niannian whispered to Gu Nan as she bent down.
Gu Nan just noticed it too, which is why he's been keeping watch here.
I have a feeling that someone wants to do something to Chief Lu.
Commander Lu is an upright and incorruptible man, which often offends people. However, his military achievements are all the result of hard work and dedication.
So normally no one really dares to openly challenge Chief Lu.
However, it is also because Chief Lu is an upright person that some people dislike him.
Therefore, it's understandable that Chief Lu might have become a stumbling block for someone's advancement, and that some people might want to harm him.
All Gu Nan can do now is stay by Chief Lu's side and protect his safety.
The food was delivered shortly afterward.
The group took turns eating. Su Niannian and the old man in the Tang suit went to eat first, while Zhou Qishan and Gu Nan stayed by the bedside.
What was delivered was stir-fried dishes and rice, which looked very appetizing, along with meat dishes.
Su Niannian and the old man in the Tang suit each held a portion of rice in their hands, and then used their chopsticks to pick up some food.
Su Niannian picked up a plate of stir-fried greens, which tasted slightly bitter, causing her to frown.
The elderly man in the Tang suit next to me was picking up a piece of potato, which also had a strange taste.
Both of them stopped eating.
Look at each other.
They both noticed something was wrong in each other's eyes at that one glance.
The two lowered their voices and whispered a few words.
Su Niannian urged her grandfather to quickly drink the sugar water she had given him earlier.
Su Niannian also took a sip.
Although there were no outsiders inside, there were two soldiers at the door. If they spoke even slightly loudly, they could be heard clearly outside.
Gu Nan was sitting and looking at Chief Lu, but when he heard the two of them stop eating, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Niannian.
Su Niannian shook her head at Gu Nan, then pointed to the food in front of her.
Gu Nan frowned. Su Niannian's meaning was quite clear: she was saying there was something wrong with the food.
Gu Nan turned to look at Zhou Qishan.
Zhou Qishan's gaze was already fixed on the instrument that was detecting vital signs, and he felt a gaze fixed on him from the side.
She turned her head and met Gu Nan's gaze.
"What...?" Before he could finish the word, Gu Nan stopped him with a gesture.
Zhou Qishan found it strange, glancing at Gu Nan and then at the old man in the Tang suit.
Clearly, the expressions of the three of them became somewhat serious.
Zhou Qishan got up and walked over to the old man in the Tang suit.
"Is there something wrong with the food?"
Zhou Qishan lowered his voice and asked.
"It's been laced with medicine," the elderly man in the Tang suit replied in a similarly low voice.
Zhou Qishan was stunned.
The food was indeed bought by two soldiers, but would they dare to openly poison the food at this time?
Isn't that a bit too unscrupulous?
"What kind of medicine?" Zhou Qishan wondered, "It shouldn't be poison, right?"
"It'll make you faint if you eat it," the old man in the Tang suit continued.
The matter is quite obvious; they probably wanted to make the person guarding Chief Lu faint after eating, so as to harm Chief Lu.
But isn't this too blatant?
This is because they saw that Chief Lu's surgery went too smoothly, and they were in a hurry to use drastic measures.
So it seems... perhaps the incident of Chief Lu being injured was also a conspiracy.
Someone wants Chief Lu dead, and they'll stop at nothing to do with it.
Zhou Qishan's expression became even more gloomy at this moment.
Zhou Qishan was originally a soldier, but for some reason, he was sent by Commander Lu to a small county town to collect intelligence.
Unexpectedly, Chief Lu's visit has brought up so many other issues.
"What do we do now?" Zhou Qishan adjusted his breathing to calm himself down.
"Use their plan against them," the old man in the Tang suit uttered.
Zhou Qishan nodded.
"Gu Nan, I'm done eating. You and Brother Zhou, come and eat too," Su Niannian suddenly said in a normal voice.
"Okay," Gu Nan replied.
Zhou Qishan quickly added, "I didn't eat breakfast this morning, and I'm starving."
"There's still plenty of meat left, so please eat more," the old man in the Tang suit said with a smile.
Then I heard footsteps inside the house.
The elderly man in the Tang suit sat next to Chief Lu, while Su Niannian sat in the chair that Gu Nan had just been sitting in.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of people eating could be heard outside the door.
During this time, there were also sounds of four people chatting and talking.
