Chapter 1688: Sleeping Beauty

He Chengjian's personal secretary was keenly aware of this change, but he was smart enough to pretend that he did not hear anything. He had a strong desire to live.

Gu Nianzhi walked out of the operating room, took off her mask, and let out a long sigh.

Although she was not the chief surgeon, she had been nervously watching Lu Jin's operation the entire time. It was no different from performing a surgery of her own.

Her back was covered in sweat, and her temples were soaked through with sweat. A few strands of black hair hung wet on her forehead.

Huo Shaoheng had been leaning against the wall beside the operating room door, quietly waiting for her.

Seeing that she had come out, he quickly went up to her with a soft, fluffy white towel and patiently wiped the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead and face.

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and almost drowned in Huo Shaoheng's rare gentleness.

However, she only allowed herself to be weak for a moment before pushing him away.

She took the towel from him and wiped it herself. She smiled at him. "Thank you, Mr. Peter."

Huo Shaoheng adjusted the tie on the back of her scrubs and said calmly, "Are you tired? What do you want to eat? The He family's chefs are all ready."

Gu Nianzhi:"..."

Her eyes darkened, and she shook her head. She whispered, "I don't want to eat. I have no appetite. I want to sleep."

Gu Nianzhi, who was wearing wide scrubs, looked exceptionally frail and slender.

Huo Shaoheng almost couldn't resist the urge to hug her tightly.

Just then, someone rushed over from the other side of the corridor and shouted at them, "Where's Shouyi? I still have to operate on Shouyi!"

Huo Shaoheng retracted his hand and stood beside Gu Nianzhi, looking over together with her.

The person who had run over was actually Qin Yaoguang.

It was as if she had just come out of a surgery. She did not even change into her scrubs and had already run over to operate on Wen Shouyi.

Gu Nianzhi saw Qin Yaoguang's anxious expression and suddenly did not feel tired at all.

She played with the white towel in her hand and said with a smile, "Director Qin, I'm sorry, but I've already finished operating on Wen Shouyi."

"You?! Didn't you operate on Xie Qingying? !" Qin Yaoguang's pupils constricted. "Why did you operate on Wen Shouyi?"

"I did it much faster than you." Gu Nianzhi shrugged. She said lightly, "After I operated on Xie Qingying, I saw that you were still busy, so I applied to General He. After obtaining his consent, I also operated on Wen Shouyi. "I'm happy to tell you that the surgery was very successful. Wen Shouyi's health was not damaged at all. She has already been sent to the vacuum ward."

Her fingers caressed Wen Shouyi's hair and blood samples in her inner pocket, and her heart was bursting with joy.

She had left these behind while the surgery was being prepared. If there was a chance, she would send them back to Lu Jin so that he could quickly do a DNA test.

"What?! That's impossible!" Qin Yaoguang shouted, "You mean you've done two surgeries in the time it took me to perform one surgery?! Oh My God! What do you think they are?! Are they your guinea pigs?! Can you even look at the experiments you've done in such a hurry?! Are you trying to kill someone?!"

"... I can't help it if you don't believe me. Wen Shouyi is in the vacuum ward now anyway. If you're worried, you can perform the surgery yourself." Gu Nianzhi's face darkened as well, "Anyway, you're very good at taking credit for other people's results. If you perform the surgery that I did well and perform it again, the credit will be yours. Do you think no one knows what you're planning?"

Qin Yaoguang was enraged by Gu Nianzhi's words.

She was also a proud person. She was so agitated that her entire body trembled. She pointed at Gu Nianzhi with her trembling finger and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I'm just waiting to see how badly you hurt Shouyi! When the time comes, I'll sue you to death!"

"... Wen Shouyi signed the voluntary agreement. Director Qin, wake up. Don't daydream in broad daylight." Gu Nianzhi said sarcastically, "Besides, are you sure you want to fight a lawsuit against me? Your own lawsuit hasn't been settled yet. You should be concerned about whether your father will be safe and sound."

Qin Yaoguang's chest rose and fell violently. Her expression changed, and it took her a lot of effort to suppress her anger. She said, "I don't believe you. I want to see General He. I want to see how Shouyi is doing!"

She had a feeling that Gu Nianzhi would take the opportunity to kill Wen Shouyi.

He Chengjian saw this on the surveillance camera and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "This Gu Nianzhi really knows how to pick a fight with me! Old Zhou, I'll go out first. You can go back after you've arranged everything."

He gave a few instructions to his personal secretary and headed towards Gu Nianzhi and Qin Yaoguang.

"Miss Gu's reaction is so fast!" He Chengjian's personal secretary, Old Zhou, clicked his tongue and quickly arranged everything.

Xie Qingying was also sent to the vacuum ward and only waited for six hours before coming out.

The surveillance cameras on her side had basically duplicated the surveillance footage of Gu Nianzhi performing the surgery on Wen Shouyi, but the person on the hospital bed had been replaced by Xie Qingying.

All of this was done at the surveillance terminal, so even Lu Jin couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

..

He Chengjian walked over with his orderly and said with a frown, "This is the surgery area. No noise is allowed."

Qin Yaoguang turned to see He Chengjian, and her eyes immediately turned red. She sobbed, "General He, to be fair, did Gu Nianzhi really perform two surgeries?! Is Shouyi really okay?!"

He Chengjian glanced at her, he said calmly, "Yes, Nianzhi finished performing the surgery on Miss Xie. When she saw that there was still time, she applied to me to perform Wen Shouyi's surgery. "I saw that she was doing a good job for Xie Qingying, so I agreed. You were only halfway through the surgery. Couldn't you perform the surgery on Wen Shouyi earlier?"

"It's good, but she doesn't have any experience at all. How could she do it?!" Qin Yaoguang refused to believe that Gu Nianzhi had performed the surgery herself. "This isn't an ordinary surgery!"

"Isn't it just a Gamma Knife?" Gu Nianzhi pouted. "With your computer skills, you can do a gamma knife surgery, and I'm even better. Qin Yaoguang, if I really had a scalpel, I wouldn't be as good as you, but what do you think about a Gamma Knife?"

Her words seemed to make a lot of sense, and Qin Yaoguang didn't know how to retort.

He Chengjian saw her stunned expression and raised his chin toward the vacuum ward. "Director Qin, I'll take you there to see Wen Shouyi. Her vital signs are all shown. You can see for yourself how the situation is."

"Okay, take me there quickly!" Qin Yaoguang said anxiously. She was extremely distrustful of Gu Nianzhi's standards.

He Chengjian took her to the vacuum ward.

Qin Yaoguang's eyes widened as she looked at the various numbers displayed on the instrument table in the operating room.

"How is this possible... is this real? ... She's recovering so well..."

Qin Yaoguang muttered to herself, her eyes flickering.

The heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure, and breathing rate displayed on the instrument were almost exactly the same as those of a normal person. The only difference was the brain activity.

However, the brain activity was because Wen Shouyi had been given an injection to promote sleep. She was in a deep sleep, so the data was normal.

Overall, Wen Shouyi's vital signs after the surgery were much stronger than Qin Baye's.

In other words, the surgery Gu Nianzhi performed on Wen Shouyi was much more precise and perfect than Qin Yaoguang's surgery on Qin Baye.

This realization hit Qin Yaoguang's mind like a heavy hammer.

She only felt her brain buzzing, as if a hornet's nest had just been poked open, and a large swarm of hornets had all gone into her brain.

The rampage caused her to be distracted, but also gave her a splitting headache.

He Chengjian glanced at Qin Yaoguang from the corner of his eyes and smiled. "I don't understand this data either. Director Qin, can you explain it to me?"

How was he not understanding it?

He was deliberately stabbing her heart with a knife, wasn't he?!

Qin Yaoguang rubbed her temples. Her face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood.

"Dean Qin? I heard you say that if Shouyi were to meet with any mishaps, you would sue Nianzhi to death, so you'd better explain these data. If it's really not good, I support you suing her."

He Chengjian continued, as if he was completely on her side.

But Qin Yaoguang knew how unfathomable He Chengjian was..

That was why the Qin family had never dared to play any tricks in front of He Chengjian before.

Every word he said was ambiguous.

Qin Yaoguang pursed her lips and reluctantly admitted, "It's okay. These numbers are normal."

"Then did Gu Nianzhi use the surgery to harm Wen Shouyi?" He Chengjian asked again, his voice even softer and slower.

It seemed that He Chengjian had heard her shouting in the corridor.

Qin Yaoguang was so embarrassed that she couldn't show her face. However, she could only shake her head and say, "No, she didn't..."

"What about the surgery?"

"... the surgery was done very well. Even if I did it, I could only do it so well." Qin yaoguang sighed and said, "She should study medicine. Her father and I are both geniuses in this field. She must be as well."

He Chengjian smiled. "She is indeed a genius. She is the daughter of a genius."

After saying that, he pulled open the door of the operating room. "Let's go. This is not a place to rest. You just finished the surgery. Take a good rest."

Qin Yaoguang saw that He Chengjian still remembered to care about her, and a wave of excitement rose in her heart.

Perhaps the situation wasn't that bad?

Once she woke He Zhichu up, her case would definitely be closed.

Perhaps she could return to He Chengjian's side..

Qin Yaoguang smiled magnanimously at He Chengjian. She put on the airs of a scientist and said reservedly, "Okay, I'll go rest. Once I wake up, I'll perform the surgery on Young Master He. I'm too tired now, so the effects of the surgery immediately won't be too good."

He Chengjian did not comment. He turned around and walked out first.

After Qin Yaoguang left, she was taken to a room that was specially guarded for her to rest.

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng returned to the He residence's suite together.

He Zhichu was sleeping soundly in the room next to hers.

After Gu Nianzhi washed up, she went to the room next door with a glass of warm milk to visit He Zhichu.

He Zhichu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, like a sleeping beauty.

His eyelashes were long and black, like two rows of crow's wings. They also had their own eyeliner and mascara effects, covering his pair of "ruthless but also moving" shimmering peach eyes.

His straight nose was proud of itself, and his thin lips curled up slightly. It seemed like he was smiling, but also seemed like he was mocking her.

Gu Nianzhi took a sip of milk and thought to herself, "Young master He, sleep a little longer. Your Princess will soon wake you up with a kiss."

He Chengjian did not allow her to tell anyone that Xie Qingying was wearing Qin Yaoguang's special surgical gown. It was clear that He Zhichu wanted Xie Qingying to do him a big favor.
