Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit

But Lu Jing responded calmly:

"Who gets priority, who needs to be treated first, there are guidelines for that."

The implication was clear: what you say doesn't count.

After saying this, Lu Jing once again instructed the Little Nurse:

"Set up two IV lines for him immediately, then take him to the operating room. I'll be there after I've entered the orders."

"Okay!"

Lu Jing didn't linger in the ward; he left immediately.

Soon, only Jiang Ye lying on the hospital bed and a group of firefighters who hadn't quite recovered were left in the ward.

"You guys go back to training!" the man suddenly said.

"Captain Jiang, you and Xingchen are both injured, we should leave two people with you."

"No need. Go back. I don't need anyone to keep me company here, and Lai Xingchen's parents should be arriving soon."

Uh...

"Alright then, Captain Jiang, if there's anything, let us know right away."

"Uh-huh."

The team members left, and only then did Jiang Ye clench his molars and let out a long sigh.

....

It was already bright outside, and the surgery that took nearly an hour and a half had finally ended.

The patient had awoken from the anesthesia and was pushed back to the ward early.

In the operating room, Lu Jing took off his surgical gown and washed up for a while before he came out.

Just then, he heard some Little Nurses not far away chattering excitedly about something. Lu Jing had no interest in listening, but as he walked by, he still heard:

"Ah, that's really Gu Xiyue!"

"I know, I know. I saw her too. She actually came with that fire brigade captain… What's their relationship?"

"Definitely not shallow, or why else would she rush over as soon as day broke?"

"True that!"

Lu Jing's body stiffened, his face showing surprise, and he pursed his lips.

In fact, his fingertips also trembled slightly, and his throat tightened.

He stood still for nearly half a minute before moving on, his face returning to its usual calm.

Entering the ward again, indeed, Gu Xiyue was gently advising:

"Aye, you must be careful about your safety in the future, okay?

I was so worried and scared when I heard you were injured!"

"Scared of what? I'm not dead, am I?"

Just after the man finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure enter from outside.

Although he was still wearing a disposable surgical cap and his face was nearly covered by a mask, Jiang Ye recognized the person immediately. A wave of panic surged in his heart, and he wanted to call out to halt the person.

However, that woman was stingy even with a glance, her thoughts instantly swallowing back.

Lu Jing indeed didn't really want to see the two people over there, the corner of his lips remained cold.

Without glancing sideways, he walked to the inner bed and decisively pulled the curtain closed.

The family had already arrived, and Lu Jing detailed the postoperative care very carefully.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiyue's voice kept going on without stopping.

"Aye, did you hear what I said? Even if not for me, for your uncle and aunt, you must be cautious from now on. They're all very worried about you!"

At this point, the man who had been silent for a while finally spoke:

"If the injury is not healed, then go back early and rest properly!"

"No, what about you if I leave?"

"I'm not so hurt that I need someone to take care of me, Gu Xiyue, I don't like repeating myself."

With that statement, Gu Xiyue really felt uncomfortable, but she still tried to maintain a graceful demeanor:

"Aye, then you take good care of yourself; I'm leaving."

"Uh-huh." The man responded and closed his eyes directly.
