The guards were all in plain clothes. When the four of them came out at the same time, a murderous aura surged forward. Officer Lu and his colleagues, who were guarding the door, couldn’t help but stand straight.

The four guards’ gazes were like X-rays as they scanned the faces in front of them with a cold aura. In the end, they nodded at the oldest officer, Officer Lu, before walking to Ye Jian’s side.

Dressed in casual clothes, they stood in front of Ye Jian and said, “Hello, Ye Jian. Our superiors have ordered us to stand guard. You can order us to do anything at any time.”

His voice was so cold that it made people feel safe. Every word was powerful. One could tell that they were not ordinary guards with just the few sentences that man said. One could tell that they were disciplined and powerful.

The colleagues beside Officer Lu looked at the four soldiers in casual clothes who were standing in front of them with an imposing aura. After glancing at them, they looked at their own people while moving away.

...

Even though they were wearing casual clothes, the officers knew that they were soldiers through their strong aura alone.

A retired soldier who was specially hired back to the military unit gained the attention of the military and even guards were specially sent over. Yan Chi and Ji Jie, the two younger police officers, instantly thought that they must’ve been blind. They didn’t realize the true identity of the person involved!

Could it be… a certain head of the military?

Ye Jian was very grateful for their arrival. With them guarding this place, she felt more at ease.

Also, if this matter was leaked because of Uncle Chen’s identity, the police investigating this matter might be in danger. They couldn’t implicate the innocent police anymore.

She asked, “I wonder if there are any other arrangements from the higher-ups? Will we have to handle it ourselves?”

“Leave it to us. The police will only be in charge of the preliminary investigation and the investigation of suspicious people in the train station square. This matter has already been reported to the higher-ups. Commander Xia asked us to tell you that Principal Chen has the military backing him. Don’t worry.

“Just wait for Principal Chen’s surgery to end. Leave the rest to the higher-ups.”

Just as Ye Jian was about to speak, the light above the operating room suddenly turned from red to green. One needed to swipe an access card to enter the first protective heavy door of the operating room. The door opened automatically, and a doctor wearing a light green surgical gown, a sterile cap, and a mask walked out.

The police officers who were looking at the four guards turned around. Ye Jian rushed over and asked, “Doctor, how’s my uncle?”

There was no need to ask who the family member was. The doctor took off his mask and looked at the young female soldier who had an anxious facial expression but was hopeful because he had come out. He sighed softly and said, “I’m sorry. We tried our best. The patient is still unconscious. You can go in and take a look at him.”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Ye Jian.

‘Sorry… we… tried… our… best?’

His words were like a thunderclap. Ye Jian’s slender body shook violently.

‘Sorry, we tried our best.’

She grabbed the doctor’s hand tightly and forcefully. Ye Jian asked the doctor very softly, “Doctor, what do you mean? What do you mean?

“Why are you apologizing? Why…

“What about my Uncle Chen? Do we still need to carry out the surgery? Hurry up and go in. I won’t delay you anymore. I can wait. I can wait. Hurry up and go in. I can wait.”

The doctor had seen too many situations like this. He patted Ye Jian’s hand that was grabbing his arm and sighed. “Hurry up and go in. The patient is holding on. Go and take a last look.”

It was a cruel but irreversible fact.
