"Wang Chao?"
Upon hearing this voice, Guan Zhilin's eyes lit up.
"Brother Wang?" Zhao Yihuan's eyes also lit up when she heard Guan Zhilin's words. She immediately looked towards the smoke.
A large hand emerged from the white smoke, pushing aside the thick fog.
Wang Chao walked out of the smoke with a blood-stained bag of money on his back. When he saw them, he was surprised, especially when he saw Zhao Yihuan. "What are you doing here?"
"Brother Wang!"
Zhao Yihuan rushed over to Wang Chao with great joy and hugged him tightly. "I finally found you! Where have you been all these days?"
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
"Um, Miss Zhao, please let go of me first. I have urgent matters to attend to," Wang Chao said.
"What urgent matters?"
"Rescuing people! Haven't you seen that Officer Guan is in a critical condition?"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yihuan quickly turned around to look.
Sure enough, Guan Zhilin's face was pale, and she had fallen to the ground, gasping for breath.
Blood was gushing from her thigh.
Guan Zhilin had been injured from the beginning. With the determination to kill the thugs and save the people, she had tightened a string in her heart and fought with all her might, disregarding her own safety.
Now that she saw Wang Chao's arrival, she knew that the area must be safe. The tightly pulled string finally loosened, and she let go of her worries.
As soon as she relaxed, she felt an intense exhaustion and a sense of her life slipping away.
She gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling irregularly, and her eyes lost much of their luster.
"Officer Guan!"
Zhao Yihuan's expression changed drastically. She quickly let go of Wang Chao's hand. "Go and check on Officer Guan."
Wang Chao quickly came to Guan Zhilin's side, checked her pulse, and examined her. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Zhilin didn't suffer a fatal injury. Her weakness was purely due to excessive bleeding from the deep wound in her thigh, causing shock.
Luckily, the bullet had not hit any major blood vessels or nerves.
As long as the bleeding was stopped in time, the bullet was removed, and she received a blood transfusion and fluids, her life would not be in danger.
"Officer Guan, I apologize, but I need to perform surgery on you," Wang Chao said.
After speaking, he laid Guan Zhilin flat and tore her pants apart, exposing the view of the wound.
A wound with a diameter of almost one centimeter could be seen, continuously bleeding.
Wang Chao applied pressure, acupressure, and hemostasis. After doing all this, he used clean cloth to compress the wound. Then, he walked to the thugs' bodies and found a military knife.
Even luckier, these thugs had first aid kits on them.
Wang Chao removed the bullets from the thugs, dismantled the bulletheads, poured out the gunpowder from the bullets, piled them up, ignited them, and used the military knife for disinfection.
Then, he grabbed Guan Zhilin's only remaining pant leg.
"What... what are you trying to do?" Guan Zhilin's expression changed dramatically as she quickly grabbed Wang Chao's hand.
"The wound is too deep. We have to remove your pants to thoroughly disinfect it and prevent bacterial infection. I'm doing this for your own good," Wang Chao explained.
"But..." Guan Zhilin's face turned crimson.
This was her only remaining pant leg. If she had to remove her clothes as well, wouldn't Wang Chao see everything?
How could she face anyone in the future?
"Officer Guan, treating your injury is the priority. If we don't remove the bullet and perform surgery soon, you might die," Zhao Yihuan said.
She held onto the wound, her hands already covered in blood.
If they did not treat the wound soon, the bleeding would likely increase, endangering her life.
Guan Zhilin thought for a moment, and finally, with a blushing face, she let go of the grip on her pant leg.
She looked at the bag of money behind Wang Chao, her eyes filled with even greater joy. "Brother Wang, did you retrieve that treasure?"
Wang Chao's gaze remained calm as he placed the money bag in front of Guan Zhilin. "I took care of it. You can rest assured."
After speaking, he directly removed Guan Zhilin's remaining pant leg, disinfecting and cleaning the area around the wound. Then, he made an incision and removed the bullet.
Next, he ligated the blood vessels in the thigh, cleaned the wound, and sutured it.
After completing these steps, Wang Chao discarded the bullet and applied pressure bandages to Guan Zhilin's wound. "Next, I have some needles and thread. I'll also treat the wound on your calf."
Using silver needles he had bought from a store, Wang Chao administered anesthesia to Guan Zhilin and performed surgery, removing the wound on her calf, cleaning it, and then suturing it.
Once the wound was treated, he infused Guan Zhilin with some pure vital power source to protect her heart meridian.
Then, he placed one end of the money bag in Guan Zhilin's hand and said, "The other police officers will be arriving soon, and I do not desire to give rise to too much commotion."
"Officer Guan, bear in mind our agreement. I'm leaving now, until we meet again."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
"Brother Wang, wait for me!" Zhao Yihuan hurriedly chased after Wang Chao.
Wang Chao glanced at Zhao Yihuan and frowned. "Did you come here by car?"
"Yes."
"What's the license plate number?"
"Yue Axxx98."
"Take care of Officer Guan first, give her your coat to wear. I'll wait for you in your car later."
After Wang Chao finished speaking, he pointed to the locations of Guan Zhilin's two wounds and walked into the white smoke.
Zhao Yihuan turned back to look at Guan Zhilin, her brows slightly furrowed.
The reason they had to perform the surgery was that Guan Zhilin's pants had been completely removed. If she left it as it was, once other police officers walked in, Guan Zhilin would be exposed.
"Brother Wang," Zhao Yihuan muttered. After a brief moment, she turned around to look at Wang Chao, only to be surprised to find that he had already disappeared.
Guan Zhilin watched the dissipating white smoke and admired and revered Wang Chao with her eyes.
He had completed the task and left quietly, concealing his achievements and fame.
Wang Chao's indifference to fame and fortune, his elevated state of mind, earned her admiration and respect.
Dadadada!
Outside, there were tense and rhythmic footsteps.
Helpless, Zhao Yihuan quickly returned to Guan Zhilin's side, took off her own coat, and covered Guan Zhilin's legs, concealing the exposed skin.
After she finished doing all this, Lian Zhan-kai led a group of police officers and rushed in.
They moved swiftly and soon had all the fallen criminals under control.
After a quick scan of the scene, Lian Zhan-kai immediately ordered the officers to carry all the injured students out and rush to the hospital for treatment.
Then, he approached Guan Zhilin, looking down at her with a concerned and respectful gaze. "Officer Guan, are you okay?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the money bag in Guan Zhilin's hand, his eyes showing a hint of astonishment.
Before entering, Guan Zhilin did not have such a money bag in her hand. Could it be that she had snatched it from the criminals?
"I'm not dead yet."
Guan Zhilin tightly held onto the bloodstained money bag, took a deep breath, and looked alert as she asked, "Have the experts from the Dragon Team arrived?"
The fact that those mercenaries had fought relentlessly and risked their lives to protect it meant that there must be something remarkable inside the bag.
Only when she handed this item over to a member of the Dragon Team could she feel at ease.
