Chapter 641: If I Never Return
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zheng Ren heard a trace of iron blood in Department Chief Kong’s stern roar.
Standing here…was no longer the kind and humble Department Chief Kong…
He was no longer the Department Chief Kong who was constantly thinking about the n.o.bel Prize. Even if he could not get it, it would be good to see Zheng Ren get it.
Standing there was a soldier who had accepted a combat mission.
Zheng Ren frowned and realized that something was wrong. He immediately went to the changing room to take off his lead clothes and change into his normal ones.
Su Yun rushed to the changing room.
The two of them did not speak and the atmosphere was heavy. They changed their clothes as fast as they could. When they came out, they saw that there was no one in the operating room. A doctor who was studying was carrying a patient with the professor.
“Where are they?” Zheng Ren asked.
“I didn’t notice where they went to,” the professor said.
Zheng Ren turned around and left, returning directly to the ward.
“Boss, I guess something big has happened,” Su Yun said with a rare, serious tone.
Zheng Ren did not say anything. He just walked quickly in silence. At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xie Yiren.
He opened WeChat and saw that Xie Yiren had left a few messages. The most recent one was after the earthquake.
[Zheng Ren, I think there’s an earthquake. Where are you?]
[I’m going down from the operating theater. Where are you?]
[I’m shopping for you at the supermarket. Is everything okay?]
[There’s a rehearsal mission. I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon. It’s fine. Don’t worry.]
Zheng Ren thought for a moment and replied to Xie Yiren.
“Zhao Yunlong, where are you?!” Su Yun made a call. “Okay, I’ll be there soon.
“That’s none of your business! You talk as if there’s any use of you even going.”
Su Yun cursed and hung up the phone. He said to Zheng Ren, “Boss, behind us, in front of the office building. There’s an urgent gathering.”
The two of them had already seen the interventional department’s entrance. Zheng Ren turned around and left without hesitation.
The professor sent the patient down and coincidentally b.u.mped into Zheng Ren.
“Boss, where are you going?”
“I have a mission,” Zheng Ren said expressionlessly.
The shaking just now, the solemn atmosphere, and the doctors who had suddenly disappeared all vaguely told the professor that something big had happened.
When he heard Zheng Ren say he had a mission, he was slightly stunned. Zheng Ren and Su Yun had already walked out three to five steps.
“Boss! If you leave, what will happen to the project?” Professor Rudolf Wagner asked anxiously.
Zheng Ren did not say anything and hurriedly walked away.
“Boss, what mission is it? Is it dangerous?” The professor was about to cry… He did not know what mission was but from the various stern expressions, he had a bad feeling about it.
“Boss, if you can’t come back, what should we do…” the professor asked as he looked at Zheng Ren’s back.
Zheng Ren’s figure had already disappeared into the distance. He completely ignored the professor.
Su Yun scolded in a low voice, “Lil Fugui has such a mouth. We should give him a gold medal.”
“It’s okay.” Zheng Ren walked faster and faster. He jogged all the way to the door of the operating theater.
In just a few minutes, there were already hundreds of doctors gathered.
Some of them were even wearing isolation suits. They did not wear white clothes. It seemed they had received the message to go to the operating theater and ran straight down.
A bus stopped by the side, and there were three or five others coming from behind.
“All of you, get on the bus!” a person shouted. His voice spread far and wide across the square.
The people who had come out to hide cautiously stood far away. Everyone was anxious and were guessing what had happened.
The voice was somber and everyone felt like they could not refuse.
Zheng Ren got on the bus one after another. Other than his cellphone, his hands were empty. He got on the bus as well and his heart was empty.
“Boss!” Professor Rudolf Wagner ran over from the inpatient department. “Get down, Boss.”
Zheng Ren glanced at him and got into the car.
Zheng Ren did not even turn around when he saw Professor Rudolf Wagner.
Seeing that he was standing alone under the car and was at a loss, Zheng Ren opened the window and waved his hand.
“Boss, what if you can’t come back?” The professor was about to cry. The n.o.bel Prize project was about to start. In one or two years, the n.o.bel Prize would finally be in reach after being coveted for so long. During that time, Zheng Ren might be gone, so how could the professor not be anxious?
“I can’t come back. You have to work hard to continue your research,” Zheng Ren said in a low voice.
“F*ck! If you can’t come back, then you can’t. What’s the big deal?” Su Yun scolded in a low voice.
They got on the bus in an orderly manner and sat down. The bus started immediately and slowly drove away from the hospital.
“Su Yun, why are you and Boss Zheng here?” Zhao Yunlong got on the bus and asked that question when he saw Zheng Ren and Su Yun.
“If you can come, why can’t we?” Su Yun reprimanded.
“It’s a military mission. You two are considered civilians.” Zhao Yunlong narrowed his eyes.
Indeed, Zheng Ren and Su Yun were outliers among them.
Department Chief Kong had used a special channel to get Zheng Ren there, so he was on the edge.
Before this, there was no precedent.
There were also some people who came to study, but those who were at work were arranged to watch over the patients, and the second-line personnel who were waiting for leave rushed over from their homes.
Only Zheng Ren and Su Yun were able to mix in with the team unscrupulously.
“You make it sound like your emergency treatment is better than mine.” Su Yun was very unreasonable. He directly changed the topic to what he was good at. “What? Did you forget about the emergency treatment compet.i.tion that year?”
Zhao Yunlong broke into a cold sweat. Su Yun really was ruthless.
“Chief Zhao, Su Yun and I are considered special personnel. Please don’t say any more.” Zheng Ren said solemnly, “On many occasions, we have the right to make special choices. This is a mission given to us by the party and the people.”
Zhao Yunlong was stunned for a moment. After that, he did not say anything. He sat on his seat and waited for the order to be received.
“Boss, you’re really serious when you talk nonsense.” Su Yun sneered at the side and directly retorted.
Zheng Ren ignored him. He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xie Yiren.
[There’s a drill so I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon.]
[Is it really a drill? I think everyone is in a hurry. Is It related to the earthquake from earlier?]
[No, don’t worry. Wait for me to come back.]
Zheng Ren turned off his phone and put it away. He held his breath and focused.
He did not know what they would be doing, where they were heading, or what dangers awaited him.
However, Zheng Ren knew that if something really happened, he would need to have a lot of energy to deal with it.
On the bus, the people nearby were whispering. After all, Chengping had been around for a long time and the military management of medical personnel was not that strict.
Moreover, no one knew what he was going to do. Everyone was just making guesses.
The bus driver was then instructed to drive all the way to the airport. Without taking the civilian route, the bus drove straight in. On the runway, a large pa.s.senger plane was already waiting there.
Boarding the plane one after another, Zheng Ren found a seat by the window and sat down. Su Yun sat beside him. After that, a burly figure appeared beside him.
“Chief Zhao, are you here to cause trouble for me again?” Su Yun was annoyed whenever he saw Zhao Yunlong.
“Brother Yun, I just received news that the earthquake was at 7.8 at first, but now it’s at 8.0.”
