Chapter 811: Chapter 0812: Old Cao Undergoes Surgery

Ye Qiu was practicing military boxing, and after half an hour, he felt sweat dripping all over his body. This wretched weather—likely until the Mid-Autumn Festival—the daytime would remain this stiflingly hot, without even a hint of a breeze.

After practicing continuously for an hour and a half, Instructor Wu Shuang allowed everyone to take a rest. Ye Qiu found a spot to sit down.

Luo Yang and Zhou Shaohui also walked over.

In truth, the four of them were really shocked that Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming didn’t have to do military training anymore and were instead staying in the dorms playing video games.

The four felt a bit envious, but they didn’t want to be like those two.

The four had heard that Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming had nearly collapsed from heat exhaustion yesterday, scaring the instructor into having classmates take them to get IV saline. After returning, the counselor and instructor decided not to let those two participate in military training anymore to prevent them from collapsing again.

The four of them knew it was likely Ye Qiu who had caused those two to end up like that.

As for how those two ended up in that state?

Luo Yang and Zhou Shaohui couldn’t figure it out.

After resting for ten minutes and drinking some water, they continued practicing military boxing until 10 a.m. When Wu Shuang saw a military vehicle approaching, he knew it was likely here for Ye Qiu.

Sure enough, the military vehicle stopped, and Cao Ling stepped out, gracefully walking toward Ye Qiu and saying, "My grandfather is preparing for surgery."

"Then I’ll head over!"

Whether he practiced military boxing or not didn’t make much difference to him.

As Ye Qiu prepared to board the vehicle, Wu Shuang instructed the students to continue practicing themselves and joined him, sitting in the front passenger seat of the vehicle.

In the vehicle, Cao Ling noticed Ye Qiu was sweating, likely because of the military training earlier.

Cao Ling took out two tissues from her pocket and handed them to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu took them and wiped the sweat from his face and neck.

In this awful weather, it was bound to make anyone sweat a lot. After lunch at noon, a shower might be the only way to feel comfortable.

Throughout the ride, Cao Ling didn’t say much, and after wiping off the sweat, Ye Qiu placed the used tissues into a bag in the vehicle.

The soldier driving the jeep pulled into the parking lot outside the Military Hospital. Ye Qiu, Cao Ling, and Wu Shuang stepped out and headed upstairs.

Once they were upstairs, Cao Ling first went to find her grandfather and told him that Ye Qiu had arrived.

With that, the hospital could arrange for Old Cao to be taken to the operating room for surgery.

After Cao Ling left, Ye Qiu and Wu Shuang sat outside.

Earlier, Wu Shuang hadn’t smoked, but now he couldn’t resist taking out a cigarette. He looked over at Ye Qiu and asked, "Do you smoke?"

"Twice before."

Wu Shuang looked at Ye Qiu, who didn’t seem like someone who smoked.

After lighting the cigarette, he reached into another pocket and pulled out a bank card.

The card was from Citibank in the United States. Since there were very few French banks in Huaxia, the 5 million euros in the account had already been converted into U.S. dollars—a reward from the French government and French Airlines.

"There’s 5 million euros in here!"

Wu Shuang said.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect Wu Shuang to actually hand him this money.

Given Wu Shuang’s circumstances, he could have easily pocketed the money. With this amount, Wu Shuang could live comfortably both domestically and abroad for a long time.

But Wu Shuang didn’t. Instead, he returned the money to Ye Qiu because he knew that this money rightfully belonged to Ye Qiu.

"If it were someone else, what do you think they would’ve done?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"I don’t know about others, but I know what I’d do."

Wu Shuang responded.

This made Ye Qiu admire Wu Shuang even more.

Indeed, in this world, there were two people Ye Qiu truly admired. One was Li Fei, who had already passed away. Back then, Li Fei agreed to use all his shares as medical expenses to save the lives of employees, without hesitation.

The other was Wu Shuang standing before him, who didn’t pocket these 5 million euros—nearly 40 million Huaxia Yuan.

Seeing Ye Qiu hesitate to take the card, Wu Shuang said, "That acclaim was originally yours, but you gave it to me. As a career soldier, I’m already satisfied with that."

In truth, Wu Shuang felt he had already greedily taken Ye Qiu’s share of the acclaim.

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I’ll take the money for now. When the time comes for you to undertake something big, I’ll give it to you!"

Ye Qiu took the card.

Since Wu Shuang had done this, Ye Qiu would undoubtedly repay that trust tenfold.

Seeing Ye Qiu safely pocket the card, Wu Shuang finally let out a sigh of relief.

After all, with such a large sum, he’d been nervous about something happening to it.

"The password is my birthday."

Wu Shuang shared his birthday with Ye Qiu.

At that moment, while Wu Shuang was still smoking, a middle-aged man in uniform walked over.

Judging by his attire, though in uniform, he seemed to be a military hospital’s attending doctor. Ye Qiu could see from the work badge that he was indeed an internal medicine department head.

"Smoking isn’t allowed here at the hospital; didn’t you see the sign?"

The attending doctor sternly said.

"Sorry, I’ll put it out right away."

Wu Shuang hurriedly extinguished his cigarette.

However, the doctor clearly looked down on Wu Shuang and Ye Qiu. Especially with Wu Shuang’s plain attire as a regular instructor—similar to ordinary soldiers—there was no indication he was a Captain.

As for Ye Qiu, his attire was even more basic!

Wearing the standard training uniform issued to freshmen for military training, with liberation shoes on his feet, he didn’t even look like an ordinary soldier.

The attending doctor couldn’t help but wonder why these two were here.

"What are you doing here?"

What Ye Qiu was here for had nothing to do with him.

Ye Qiu didn’t bother to respond.

Wu Shuang didn’t seem interested in explaining either.

The attending doctor glanced at them and left.

"Doctors at the Military Hospital are both physicians and officers. That department head just now is a colonel, which is why he carries himself in such an arrogant way."

It’s mostly just a title, though. Compared to real officers, especially someone like Wu Shuang who’s a Captain, the difference is significant.

Wu Shuang is a bona fide Captain, at least with a sub-battalion level rank within the military. Furthermore, given Wu Shuang’s Special Forces background, his rank might be even higher; with his recent commendation, it’s possible he’s been promoted to a squad commander or even Battalion Commander of an anti-terrorism Special Forces unit. Wu Shuang undoubtedly has a bright future ahead.

Even if Wu Shuang didn’t mention it, Ye Qiu knew.

Yet the way that doctor acted earlier made it seem like he thought he was Old Cao himself.
