Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

After He Yuzhu recovered from being helped into the car, he grimaced in pain and broke out in a cold sweat out of fear.

Zhao Xu, who accompanied He Yuzhu to the hospital, saw He Yuzhu sweating profusely from the pain and his arm bleeding continuously, and said anxiously: "Brother Zhuzi, hold on for a while, we will get to the hospital soon."

Hu Zi, who was driving, was also very anxious. The frantic honking of the horn was his silent catharsis. Fortunately, there was no one on the street at night. Hu Zi stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the hospital.

Soon they arrived at the hospital. As soon as Hu Zi entered the hospital, he shouted, "Doctor! Doctor! Come out quickly."

Wang Hui, the nurse on duty, was awakened, yawned and replied: "Don't worry, I'll be there soon." She got up and patted her face, and after going out, she was frightened by the few people covered in blood in front of her and screamed.

Hu Zi said anxiously: "Call the doctor quickly to remove the bullet for my brother."

Wang Hui reacted immediately and said, "Comrade, hurry up and follow me to the operating room. I'll go call the doctor."

After a while, a yawning middle-aged doctor came into the operating room reluctantly.

The first thing they do when they come in is not to perform surgery, but to nitpick and check their ID first.

It was then that nurse Wang Hui discovered that the person lying on the bed bleeding excessively was actually He Yuzhu, whom she had met once before. It was just that they had not seen each other for a long time and he looked so embarrassingly thin.

So he quickly said: "Doctor He, this is my friend. Can you perform the surgery on him quickly? I will guarantee it."

The doctor surnamed He De was probably too irritable because he had just woken up. He said unhappily, "Nurse Wang, this is the hospital rule. No one can break it."

At this time, the patience of Hu Zi and Zhao Xu, who were accompanying them, had reached its limit. Just as Zhao Xu was about to take action, Hu Zi took a step ahead and pulled out a gun, pointing it at Dr. He's forehead and took out his ID.

He said coldly: "Open your dog eyes and take a look. If you are wasting time, don't blame me for my trembling hands and my blind bullets."

At this time, the doctor named He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and tremblingly opened the certificate. When he saw that it was a certificate from a special department, he cursed himself for being a cheapskate and quickly apologized to Hu Zi.

He returned the ID to Hu Zi with both hands and said to Wang Hui, who was also startled, "Nurse Wang, please prepare the equipment quickly. We will start the operation right away."

Then he changed his expression and said to Hu Zi respectfully: "Comrade, please put away your gun and wait outside. I will perform surgery on this comrade immediately."

Hu Zi said coldly: "If you can't save my brother's arm tonight, even the king of heaven and earth can't save you tomorrow. You can decide for yourself."

After saying that, Hu Zi pulled the angry Zhao Xu out of the operating room and waited in the corridor.

At this time, Doctor He in the operating room wiped the sweat from his head and tried to calm down. He knew that if he did not save this comrade's hand, he would be guilty of an even greater crime and his own mother would certainly not be able to save him.

So, fearing that his future would be ruined, Dr. He used all his skills to remove the bullet from He Yuzhu.

Wang Hui, who was acting as an assistant, was thinking: "Didn't he say he was just a cook? How could he be shot? The person who came with him actually dared to point a gun at Dr. He's head. It was obvious that he had bad intentions."

At this moment, more and more people rushed to the hospital. Among them, Director Wang from the Street Office asked, "Zhu Zi, how are you? Are you in danger?"

Zhou Suo, who was also waiting outside the door, said: "Zhuzi used his arm to block the bullet for me. He should not be in danger of death, but I don't know about his arm..."

After saying that, Zhou squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette in a depressed look.

Director Wang glanced at her man and felt sorry for him when she saw how thin he had become.

But he still said anxiously: "If something happens to Zhuzi's arm, how will he cook in the future and how will he face them in the future?"

The director of the hospital was sleeping soundly at home when he was suddenly awakened by the phone ringing.

Thinking that there was something urgent at the hospital, he picked up the phone. Before he could say anything, he heard a voice coming from the receiver: "Comrade Li Weijun? This is Minister XX. I now order you to go to the hospital immediately to organize forces to save Comrade He Yuzhu's arm. I will be there shortly."

Until the other party hung up the phone, Dean Song felt like he was dreaming. He slapped himself to make sure it was not a dream, and then he was sure that it was the voice of the big boss of his department.

Then he quickly ran to the bedroom, turned on the light, and hurriedly put on his clothes. The sudden light made the charming woman in bed complain: "Lao Li, why are you so panicking? The sky is falling."

Dean Li said anxiously while putting on his clothes: "Old Liu, I don't know if the sky is falling or not. I only know that this is a call from the big boss of our department, and he will be at the hospital soon."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman who was still complaining hurriedly sat up. Without even bothering to tidy up her clothes, revealing her snow-white complexion, she got up and helped Lao Li find his socks and shoes.

Watching her husband go out, the middle-aged lady prayed silently in her heart that her husband would return safely.

Dean Li Weijun, who was pedaling his bicycle so hard that it was almost smoking, finally arrived at the hospital before his boss. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face and went straight to the operating room.

Seeing the streets, police stations, and fierce-looking officials holding guns in the corridor, Director Song wondered, "Who is the god in the operating room?"

Just when he was puzzled, he heard a large group of footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the boss of his own department.

He hurried forward to greet them, and his boss asked directly: "What's the situation inside?"

Dean Li, who had just arrived, could only say to his boss awkwardly: "Boss, I just got here too. I don't know what's going on in the surgery yet."

Looking at his boss's gloomy face, Dean Li broke out in a cold sweat and looked very unhappy.

The newly arrived big boss said to his secretary: "I have asked the relevant experts to rush here. You go to the door to greet them and take them directly to the operating room. This will save time."

At this time, Doctor He in the operating room tried his best but still felt it was difficult. He was not well-trained and could handle it simply, but it would be difficult for him to save his arm.

At this time, He Yuzhu was bleeding too much and needed a blood transfusion urgently, so Wang Hui quickly opened the door and shouted: "Someone come to do a blood test and prepare for a blood transfusion."

Dean Li immediately responded and shouted, "I'll do the blood test. Comrades, please be ready to donate blood at any time."

Then he took He Yuzhu's blood sample and quickly tested it himself. Fortunately, He Yuzhu's test results showed that he was the common B type blood, which eased Dean Li's nervousness.

So he shouted loudly: "Anyone who knows that you have type B blood, hurry up and donate blood."

Zhao Xu didn't understand what was going on and said directly: "Human blood is all the same, take mine."

Hu Zi, who was standing next to him, looked at the anxious Zhao Xu, punched him to calm him down, and said, "Zhao Xu, if you want to save Zhuzi, don't make trouble."

Then he shouted: "All those with type B blood, please stand in line and donate blood with me."

Afterwards, everyone who knew they had type B blood followed Hu Zi to line up to have their blood drawn, all willingly and without complaint.

The blood that had just been drawn was quickly sent to the operating room for He Yuzhu's blood transfusion. The boss's secretary also came to the operating room with several experts over 60 years old.

When several bigwigs saw Dr. He, who was sweating with anxiety, they asked him to go aside and take a closer look. One of the old men looked at a student he had taught for a period of time and said that it was a disgrace.

Several big guys took over, and finally at dawn, the good news came that the arm was successfully saved, and everyone present cheered.

Dean Li's boss waited for He Yuzhu to wake up, praised and encouraged him, and then left the hospital.

After seeing the leader leave, Chief Zhou immediately came to the bedside and said excitedly: "Zhu Zi, if you hadn't blocked this bullet for me, I might have lost my life."

He Yuzhu looked at Zhou Suo, who looked even more haggard, and said in a casual manner: "Uncle Zhou, it's too formal for us to talk about this. I'm fine, right? You've been very tired during this period of time, so go and have a rest."

At this time, Lao Cao, who had just finished dealing with the matter, also came into the room. Looking at the haggard Zhou, he shouted directly: "Comrade Zhou Zhijun, I now order you to take time to rest in the name of the special case team leader. The finishing work of this matter has not been completed yet, and the follow-up work will be handled by our special case team."

The memory engraved in his bones made Zhou stand up and stand at attention and said: "Leader, I obey the order and go to rest now. I will definitely participate in the follow-up work with full energy."

After Lao Cao and He Yuzhu watched Zhou leave, Lao Cao said, "Zhuzi, the identity of the woman you killed has been found out."

He Yuzhu was also curious and asked: "What is the identity of that woman? She acted decisively and went straight to Zhou's office."

Lao Cao also said awkwardly: "We all thought Wang Zhongbin was the main culprit, but it turns out that this woman was hiding in the dark and controlling everything."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was also stunned by Lei and didn't know what to do.

Lao Cao took a deep breath and said: "This woman is hiding too deeply. She is Wang Zhongbin's ex-wife and Wang Yangen's biological mother."

He Yuzhu asked in shock: "A woman commanding her ex-husband and her own son to rebel? This is too ridiculous."

Lao Cao thought to himself, what does this have to do with melodrama? He then continued, "This woman is really cruel. Before liberation, she married Wang Zhongbin and went undercover in Beijing to spy on military officers for Chiang Kai-shek. After liberation, she divorced Wang Zhongbin on the pretext of hiding her identity and became a secret door hiding behind the scenes to control everything."

"This woman is too shrewd. She never met with Wang Zhongbin. She either sent someone to deliver a message or left instructions at a designated location. That's how she got away with it."

After listening to Lao Cao's narration, He Yuzhu said bluntly: "Fuck, Lao Cao, are you sure you are not making up a story to cheer me up?"

Lao Cao showed a rare helpless expression and said: "Zhu Zi, do you think I would be the one making up the story?"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu looked at Lao Cao, then slowly accepted that what Lao Cao said was true, with a look of frustration on his face.

After a moment of silence, Lao Cao said, "Zhu Zi, even if we don't find this woman this time, we have also caught all her accomplices. She will be the only one left, and she won't be able to cause any trouble."

He Yuzhu asked puzzledly: "Since this woman is hiding so deeply, why did she appear tonight?"

Lao Cao said: "According to Wang Zhongbin's confession, he didn't know why she appeared. Now she has been shot dead by you. This has become an unsolved mystery. But it is not important anymore. For us, the result is satisfactory."

He Yuzhu asked again: "Since all those who should be arrested have been arrested and the mastermind behind the scenes has been shot dead, why hasn't the task force been disbanded yet?"

How could Lao Cao not know what He Yuzhu was thinking? He said, "Zhuzi, you have done nothing. You have arrested all the spies, but when you searched the woman's residence, you found a list of public officials who could not resist her temptation and provided her with information."

He Yuzhu was also puzzled when he heard it and said: "Fuck, who is so heavy-handed that he has no bottom line for a woman who is almost 40 years old."

He Yuzhu's soul-searching question made Lao Cao, a bachelor who devoted himself to the organization's career, feel troubled. He didn't know how to answer and could only leave the room on the pretext of work.

Just when He Yuzhu was still digesting the news brought by Lao Cao, Director Wang of the street came into the room with a lunch box.

After bowing to He Yuzhu to express his gratitude, he smiled and said: "Zhuzi, thank you for saving my Lao Zhou. We have nothing to repay you. I just made a simple breakfast. My cooking skills are definitely not as good as yours. Don't mind it."

He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Wang who was taking good care of him and his sister, waved his left hand and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, if you are so distant with my uncle Zhou, we will not come to you when we have problems in the future. It's too polite."

Director Wang, who knew He Yuzhu's temper, quickly said, "Then your uncle Zhou and I won't mention this matter anymore. Let's eat while it's hot."

Aunt Wang was afraid that it was inconvenient for He Yuzhu to eat with his left hand, so she sat beside the bed and fed He Yuzhu mouthful by mouthful with her own hands. He Yuzhu was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

Looking at He Yuzhu, who had suffered a tragic fate and had just gone through this disaster, the strong woman Director Wang also burst into tears as she walked out of the room.

Just like this, another week passed, and Lao Cao and Zhou Suo appeared together again. Seeing that He Yuzhu had recovered well, the two of them finally put their minds at ease.

Lao Cao said, "Zhu Zi, the matter has been basically concluded today. Lao Zhou and I are here to formally inform you that the task force is officially disbanded."

Zhou then added: "Rewards will be given out later to comrades who have made significant contributions."

In fact, He Yuzhu now doesn't care much about the reward. He just wants to go home. He is almost getting moldy from lying in the hospital every day because of the confidentiality.

So he hurriedly asked: "Lao Cao, can I be discharged from the hospital and return to the courtyard?"

Lao Cao nodded and said, "Zhu Zi, now the case is officially over, you can go back to the courtyard, but I have also told you about the confidentiality regulations. For the time being, you can only tell others that your arm injury was caused by a business trip."

He Yuzhu said nonchalantly: "There's nothing to feel wronged about. I just want to go home now."

After saying this, the three people in the room burst into laughter. This hearty smile expressed both the relief of surviving the disaster and the joy of celebrating the victory.

Lao Cao personally handled the discharge procedures for He Yuzhu, and he left the hospital amid the muttering of nurse Wang Hui.

Due to Lao Cao's special status, He Yuzhu hugged Lao Cao goodbye at the gate of the courtyard, and Zhou had to drive He Yuzhu back to the courtyard.

Returning to the gate of the courtyard house he hadn't been back to for more than a month, He Yuzhu felt his eyes were blinded by the wind and sand, and tears welled up in his eyes, perhaps because he was homesick.

He Yuzhu politely declined Uncle Zhou's offer to send him home. After watching Uncle Zhou leave, he picked up his bag with his left hand and returned to the central courtyard.

Master Jin, who was putting the finishing touches on the house, looked up and saw He Yuzhu, who had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a long time. He was stunned for a moment and then said happily: "Zhuzi, what happened to your arm? What have you been busy with during this period? You only showed up when the work is almost finished. Are you so confident in my craftsmanship?"
