Chapter 1675: Chapter 1083: Heroine of the Republic 57 (4000+)_2

"The medical standards in the war zone hospital were terrible. The suturing technique wasn’t up to par, and even... forget it, saying this now is pointless. You’ve already suffered all that pain. You came to me because the areas of your wounds are making you uncomfortable?"

Qin Zheng nodded. "They itch when it rains. It hurts when I cough hard. Some places even react when I bend over. It’s not unbearable, but it makes me really uncomfortable."

An Yi scanned his subcutaneous tissue with her eyes and found that there were still bomb fragments and bullets hidden inside his body that had never been removed???

One of the bullets was actually still lodged in his brain, and it was connected to two major blood vessels. She couldn’t help the twitch in her expression. "You don’t feel pain from this?"

Under Qin Zheng’s puzzled gaze, An Yi pointed to the problematic areas on his body.

"There’s a bullet here that was never taken out. The reason you can still run around like nothing’s wrong is because this bullet is stuck in a position that currently doesn’t affect you at all—but that’s only temporary. If you do any movement over a distance and this bullet starts to migrate, your life is as good as over. As for the other parts of your body—like here, here, and here—there are bomb fragments that can be removed with surgery. Actually, you didn’t come back on vacation this time, right? You’re about to retire from the military or be transferred, aren’t you? Because in your condition, there’s no way you can stay in the army any longer."

Qin Zheng had been skeptical about An Yi. If Gu Cheng hadn’t insisted, he would never be lying here. But what he didn’t expect was that this woman was so formidable she could point out every spot on his body that felt off, one by one. Especially that bullet in his brain—that had only been confirmed after multiple consultations and after they’d gone to Shanghai and Capital Hospital for detailed examinations. Yet she could just say it offhand.

He couldn’t help narrowing his eyes, studying her with professional vigilance. "Who exactly are you?"

"You don’t need to ask who I am. If you ask, I won’t treat you. Right now I’m asking you: did you come to me wanting a complete fix, or just relief?"

"How do you completely fix it? And how do you just relieve it?"

"To completely fix it, I’d have to operate on you and take all this stuff out. But you could die at any moment—you might not make it off the operating table. I have to tell you these risks in advance. I’m guessing the hospitals you went to before have said the same thing. Even if I’m doing the surgery alone, I still have to tell you: the risk might be much greater than in a hospital."

"If you’re willing, I’ll dare to take the case. If you’re not, then we’ll just use symptom‑relief methods and treat you with medication. But I have to be clear: your life is already counting down. Any day you might not live to see the next sunrise, because no one can predict whether the bullet in your brain will be corroded by cerebrospinal fluid and then cause systemic infection. A bullet in the brain—think about it—the danger can kill you in minutes. That’s a completely different matter from a wound in the leg. Your eyes—your vision is affected now, isn’t it?"

An Yi’s words shocked not only Qin Zheng himself; even Gu Cheng felt he ought to reevaluate this woman’s capability.

If he hadn’t been sure that when Qin Zheng talked to him there was nobody else around, he would have suspected she’d planted bugs on them and eavesdropped on their conversations, which was why she could describe the condition so clearly.

Her reasoning was practically identical to what Qin Zheng had said. And the information Qin Zheng knew had all come from the results of countless expert consultations!

The reason An Yi dared to expose herself in front of these two was, aside from her respect for how they had once served the country, that she truly felt they were talents who shouldn’t just fall like this. Plus, she was confident they wouldn’t reveal this secret, because Gu Cheng’s current identity was highly sensitive, and Qin Zheng’s future depended on his health going forward. If he survives, just for this favor alone, if she ever runs into serious trouble later, he might be able to help her.

So she was willing to take this risk. She had even started discussing with Liang Tian in the space what price she’d have to pay to get permission to bring Qin Zheng into the space for diagnosis and treatment.

She had equipment and generators in her space, all taken from hospitals in Japan. For a surgery this dangerous, only a place like the space, rich in Spiritual Energy and free from external interference, could allow her to complete it perfectly.
