Chapter 768: Chapter 756: Performing Surgery on Zhan Qipei Again, Dreaming Back to Our First eting
As soon as John’s voice faded, a stern voice ca through the phone again.
“Joking? Do you think I’m calling you just to make a joke? You know exactly what you did!”
From the tone of the speaker from the empire, John could tell that he was serious, not joking.
Indeed, with his status and position, how could he possibly call just to make such a joke?
John gritted his teeth and said, “I think you may have misunderstood sothing, I just invited Professor Qiao to help out…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cold huff from the other end of the phone, “Is that so? That’s a revelation to .”
“This kind of ‘invitation’ is certainly new to !”
With each word from the other party, John’s expression grew increasingly grim, and his voice sank, “It’s just Professor Qiao, do you really need to make such a fuss over her?”
“Hah,” a cold laugh ca through the phone, “If it were not significant, why bother mobilizing a big operation and using any ans necessary to kidnap her?”
“Let make it clear to you, Professor Qiao is a national treasure of our country. What a treasure signifies, I assu the importance of that does not need to be spelled out too explicitly.”
John clenched the phone tightly, suddenly finding himself at a loss for words.
On the other end, the stern voice continued, “Our empire’s main forces are currently conducting exercises at the border of your M country. If you doubt the authenticity of this matter, you can make a phone call to check. After that, I assu you’ll know exactly what to do.”
Before John could react, the call had already been disconnected.
Seeing John’s troubled expression, Frank imdiately moved closer and asked in a low voice, “Mr. John, what did they say?”
When Frank learned that the person on the other end of the phone was that figure from the empire, he was surprised.
He thought, Mr. John should be looking extrely disturbed because of a threat from the other party!
It took John quite a while to recover from the conversation.
His face ashen, he handed the phone back to Wu Xirui without answering Frank’s question and commanded sternly, “Call imdiately and check on the situation at the border.”
Upon hearing this, Frank could sowhat guess the implications and, not daring to ask more, hurriedly made a call as John instructed.
After the call connected, he imdiately asked, “What’s the situation on your side?”
The person on the other end was nad Jackson, responsible for the border defense of M country.
With a grave tone, he responded, “Mr. Frank, I was just about to report this to you and Mr. John.”
“The empire’s main forces are conducting large-scale exercises at our border. On the surface, it looks like ordinary drills, but I can’t shake the feeling that they are watching us like a hawk, as if they might launch an attack at any mont.”
After reporting the situation, Jackson paused before asking, “Mr. Frank, in light of the empire’s sudden exercises, do we need to take any counterasures?”
“No need, just carry on as usual, and don’t make any rash moves,” Frank replied, his face tense.
With those words, Frank ended the call, his face still taught.
John, seeing his expression, already knew the answer, but still asked with a glimr of hope, “How is it?”
Frank shook his head gravely and then whispered in John’s ear, sharing the details of the situation at the border.
Wu Xirui took the opportunity to say, “Mr. John, it’s getting late, you should wrap things up soon.”
John’s face was dark with frustration, but he felt helpless.
He had always known that Qiao Jing held a high position in the empire.
However, he hadn’t realized that her status was so high!
Just for her, the person from the empire not only called personally but also mobilized the main forces, and was even prepared to start a war between the two countries!!!
The research on the new wheat was certainly important to the agricultural economic developnt of Country M, but no matter how important, it could not outweigh the safety and security of the nation.
If it led to war with the Empire, it would definitely be a losing proposition for the entire country…
Thinking of this, Mr. John held back a breath of resentnt and, feeling quite reluctant, glanced at Qiao Jing, gritting his teeth and saying, “Professor Qiao, we have offended you previously, please forgive us.”
Qiao Jing lifted her head, her gaze cold and sharp as a blade sweeping across.
Although she said nothing, her eyes so intimidated Mr. John that he suddenly felt a sense of alarm.
“Frank, withdraw the team!”
After dropping this line, Mr. John turned and left first.
Seeing this, Mr. Frank hurriedly led his n and followed close behind.
Soon, their figures had disappeared from sight.
Qiao Jing retracted her gaze, holding the unconscious Zhan Qipei tightly.
Watching Zhan Qipei’s face turn pale from his injury, her tears once again fell uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
Wu Xirui turned his head and saw this scene.
This was the first ti he had seen Qiao Jing shed tears…
No, more precisely, it was the first ti he had seen Qiao Jing cry for soone else.
He couldn’t help but say, “I really am quite envious of Zhan Qipei.”
Qiao Jing’s mind was entirely on Zhan Qipei, as if she hadn’t heard Wu Xirui’s words at all.
Wu Xirui tugged at the corner of his mouth, talking to himself as he continued, “Do you think, if I died, would you cry for too?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing finally looked up and glanced at Wu Xirui.
But she had no ti to entertain Wu Xirui and quickly shifted her gaze away, focusing on the approaching Tang Yan.
Tang Yan’s expression was very anxious, “Miss Qiao, how is President Zhan… how is his condition?”
Qiao Jing suppressed the swirling emotions within her heart, along with that unfamiliar sense of fear, and tried to speak calmly, “He’s been shot and has lost a lot of blood, he needs surgery right away.”
When she saw Zhan Qipei get shot, she really was afraid, afraid sothing would happen to him, afraid he would leave her like that, and even more afraid of losing him for good.
Fortunately, the bullet had not hit any vital areas…
“Quick! Hurry up! Two people co here and take President Zhan back to the ship!”
Tang Yan didn’t dare to waste a second and quickly directed his n to carefully transfer Zhan Qipei to the cruise ship docked at the shore.
In a room on the cruise ship.
Qiao Jing asked Tang Yan to bring the dical tools necessary for surgery and used the bed in the room as an operating table.
After Tang Yan left, she began to perform surgery on Zhan Qipei.
Since the injury was near the root of the thigh, it was necessary to take off his pants.
Qiao Jing undid Zhan Qipei’s belt and the buttons on his pants, and as she was about to take them off, Zhan Qipei’s eyelids suddenly trembled and then slowly opened.
Seeing his environnt, he knew he was back on the ship.
His gaze moved downwards and noticed Qiao Jing holding onto his pants; his lips quirked up slightly, and he uttered, “You’re taking off my pants again…”
