Chapter 494: I Need You

Su Qingsang ignored Zhang Yichen’s words. She was directing all her attention towards Huo Jinyao instead.

“Jinyao, let’s go for breakfast. I’m hungry.”

Huo Jinyao had a brief conversation with Old Master Huo and Zhang Yichen. Then, he put an arm around Su Qingsang’s waist and headed towards the dining room together with her.

“Uncle, let’s go for breakfast too,” Zhang Yichen said, as he turned and held Old Master Huo’s arm.

“Sure,” Old Master Huo said without thinking. The two of them followed behind Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang was whispering to Huo Jinyao. The parrots had been saying some funny things the past few days.

She bought the parrot because she thought that the bird would say nice words to Old Master Huo. However, the parrot hadn’t said even one nice word so far. Instead, it turned out to be very good at quarreling with people.

She really wasn’t expecting a bird like that. She felt a little embarrassed about it, but Huo Jinyao found it amusing. It was funny to have such a bird in the house.

Zhang Yichen was holding Old Master Huo’s arm while talking to him. However, his eyes were fixed on Su Qingsang the whole time.

He saw the faint smile she had on her face when she was talking to Huo Jinyao. She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, but the shine in her eyes was so charming.

Zhang Yichen absorbed all the charm that Su Qingsang exhibited unwittingly. As he looked at her, his eyes glowed as if there was a flame leaping in his eyes.

However, the flame in his eyes dimmed very soon.

...

After staying in the family house for three days, Zhang Yichen returned to the army.

Su Qingsang didn’t spend any more time thinking about what had happened between herself and him since she learned who he really was.

As for what happened in that alley, she just considered it an accident and didn’t think much about it.

However, that day, before getting off work, she was very surprised to see Zhang Yichen show up at the door of her office.

She called him ‘Uncle’ when she saw him. Upon hearing that, the other two doctors in the office stopped paying attention to the two of them.

“Can I help you, Uncle?”

The look on Zhang Yichen’s face told Su Qingsang that something was wrong. She picked up her bag and walked out of the office.

“Are you off work?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Come with me.”

While speaking, Zhang Yichen attempted to hold Su Qingsang’s hand. Su Qingsang hurriedly made a step backward and looked at Zhang Yichen with disapproval.

“What’s going on? Uncle?”

“I...” Zhang Yichen looked around nervously. He thought for a moment and said, “can you come with me now? I need your help.”

“Tell me what’s it about first.”

Zhang Yichen’s voice was soft but sounded anxious. “It’s urgent. I need a doctor, now.”

Su Qingsang looked at him from head to toe. At that moment, she discovered some strange stains on Zhang Yichen’s black coat. Those stains weren’t very obvious, but she still recognized them as bloodstain.

“Will I be needing medical tools?” she immediately asked, wearing a serious look.

“Yes,” Zhang Yichen nodded. “Can you grab them quickly?”

“Just a moment.” Su Qingsang didn’t ask further questions. She went to the pharmacy, got some medicines and bandages, then returned to her office and picked up a whole set of scalpels.

She spent less than ten minutes to do all that.

After that, she followed Zhang Yichen out of the hospital gate and got into his car without saying anything.

Zhang Yichen stepped on the accelerator once Su Qingsang got into the car. He drove the car very fast.

The high speed made Su Qingsang feel a little uncomfortable. She didn’t say anything throughout and only looked outside the window to distract herself.

About five minutes later, they reached their destination. Zhang Yichen brought Su Qingsang to an austere looking apartment.

The building was so old that even the exterior walls were mottled.

Looking at the building, Su Qingsang briefly hesitated to enter. However, seeing the serious look on Zhang Yichen’s face, she decided to follow him upstairs. They walked through a door.

She smelled blood the moment she stepped into that apartment.

“Save him, hurry up.”

In the bedroom, an injured man was lying on the bed. At first glance, Su Qingsang recognized him as the man with a crew cut. He was with Zhang Yichen in the alley the last time.

“He’s been shot three times. There is one bullet in the arm, one in the stomach, and one in the thigh.”

“So severe? Why didn’t you send him to the hospital?”

While asking the question, Su Qingsang stepped up and started checking the man’s wounds.

“I can’t.”

Zhang Yichen didn’ t give any further explanation. Su Qingsang gave him a brief glance, then stayed silent. She focused on the man who was almost covered in blood.

The wounds on his arm and thigh didn’t look so bad, but the one in his stomach seemed lethal.

The man was lucky to even be alive after being shot three times and losing so much blood.

“I was thinking of taking out the bullets for him, but they’re too deep and I’m afraid that I might accidentally worsen his injury.”

Some of the man’s external organs had already been injured. Zhang Yichen was worried that he might cause further injury to the man, so he went to ask Su Qingsang for help.

“I’ve dressed his wounds, but we still need to take out the bullet.”

“I get it.”

Su Qingsang didn’t waste any time. She was an obstetrician but was also familiar with procedures such as stitching wounds.

She took off her coat and put it aside, then put the tools that she had brought by the bedside.

After that, she bent over, cut open the man’s clothes and started dealing with the wound.

While doing that, she found the anesthetic she brought unnecessary, because the blood-loss had already made the man lose consciousness.

The man was shot in the stomach, but fortunately, his internal organs weren’t damaged. Otherwise, Su Qingsang wouldn’t have dared to dig out the bullet just like that.

The bullet brushed across the man’s stomach and almost punctured it.

Su Qingsang was shocked by how lucky the man was. Without wasting any more time to think, she quickly took out the bullet from the man’s stomach. Then, she took out the remaining bullets in his arm and thigh.

She stitched the wound immediately after she took out every bullet. She did it as quickly as possible, as she was worried that the man might lose his life if she hesitated too much.

She had been a doctor for years. She had stitched the wounds on the stomachs of many women, but this was the very first time she did it for a man.

It was a new experience. She didn’t dare to relax, not even a little bit. About two hours later, she finally dressed all the man’s wounds well.

After putting a bandage on the man’s arm, Su Qingsang felt that her legs became a little numb.

The weather was cold and the apartment didn’t have a heater. However, her back was still sweating slightly.

She stood straight and saw Zhang Yichen, who had been standing by the door.

“It’s done. He’s fine for now,” she said to him in a very low voice.

“For now?” Zhang Yichen glanced at his friend who was still ghastly pale and said, “what do you mean?”

“He’s suffered serious blood-loss. Normally, a patient like him would need a blood transfusion. However, you didn’t send him to the hospital. I have dressed his wounds for the time being but tonight will still be very dangerous for him. You need to keep an eye on him. He can be considered out of the woods if he wakes up tomorrow morning.”

Honestly, the man had a very strong life-force. It was almost a miracle that he managed to stay alive even after being shot three times and suffering so much bad blood-loss.

“Thank you,” said Zhang Yichen. He understood what she was trying to say.

Su Qingsang had finished what was needed to be done by her.

“I’ll look after him,” Zhang Yichen said as he looked at the man.

Su Qingsang nodded and stretched her body. Noticing that Zhang Yichen was looking at her, she dropped her arms, feeling a little awkward.

“I’m gonna leave if there’s nothing else I can do.”

“I’ll drive you.”

“No need,” Su Qingsang snapped back. She glanced at the man on the bed and said, “I think you should stay here to take care of him. I’ll take a taxi.” historical

The man was injured so badly, and couldn’t have a blood transfusion. Su Qingsang really wasn’t sure if he would survive the night. “Oh,” she added. “He has bled excessively, so he might have a fever in the middle of the night. Remember, you cannot let the fever grow high. If you fail to control it, wipe his body with ethyl alcohol.”

She had brought some ethyl alcohol when coming. Some of it was still left in the bottle, so Zhang Yichen could use it.

“Okay, I get it. Thank you,” Zhang Yichen thanked her with solid sincerity.

At that moment, he looked nothing like the man who Su Qingsang believed, almost molested her in the alley. Su Qingsang felt a little weird, so she went out of the bedroom, picked up her bag and left.

“I’ll take my leave.”

“Don’t you need to deal with this?” Zhang Yichen looked at her clothes. Her own clothes were stained by the man’s blood when she was dressing his wounds.

It was indeed inappropriate and dangerous for her to go out just like that.

“It’s okay. I have a coat,” said Su Qingsang as she put on the coat.

The coat had covered the bloodstains on her clothes indeed. Zhang Yichen stopped talking, but when Su Qingsang touched the doorknob, he called her name again.

“Su Qingsang.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t tell anyone else about what happened today.”

“I won’t, don’t worry. I’m not a big-mouthed person.”

“Don’t even tell Jinyao about it.”

Su Qingsang turned to look at Zhang Yichen and nodded seriously while making eye-contact with him.

“And, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Su Qingsang didn’t know what exactly Zhang Yichen and his friend were doing, but she could make a wild guess.

He asked her to keep the secret, and she intended to do that.

After leaving the building, Su Qingsang spent a short while observing the surrounding environment by the entrance, then took a detour out of the alley.

By the time Su Qingsang had arrived home, Huo Jinyao was already at home. He obviously had just taken a shower, as the tip of his hair was still a little moist.

He was sitting on the bed, reading a book. As Su Qingsang came in, he put down the book, landed his eyes on the few bags Su Qingsang’s was carrying in her hands.

“Did you go shopping?”

“Yeah,” Su Qingsang nodded. She dropped the bags and said, “I missed your calls as I was shopping. I just saw the missed calls earlier in the elevator.”

“Have you had dinner yet?” Huo Jinyao got off the bed and walked up to Su Qingsang. He noticed with a glance that Su Qingsang wasn’t wearing the same clothes she had worn in the morning.

“Yes.” Su Qingsang picked up a bag while speaking and took out a Versace leisure suit from it.

It was a blue, pin-striped suit. She put it on Huo Jinyao’s body and said, “try it on.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t take the suit immediately but looked at Su Qingsang with surprise. He asked, “why did you buy me a suit?”
