Twenty-Nine He is the Dragon Knight The machine gunners set up an ambush with interlocking fire, firing with high precision, knowing how to infiltrate and establish the position in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are aware of the need to shift positions, and they can reload swiftly and in a standard manner, but still not swift enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s all by-the-book precision, not the kind of fluid motion born from extreme familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like reconstructing a scene, unraveling clues bit by bit, Gao Yang then obtained the answer he was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded lightly, a hint of a smile blossoming on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing his lapse in composure, he looked up and said, “Alright, I understand now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, thank you everyone for your explanations, I truly appreciate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang tried hard to maintain a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and said with a slight bow, “Excuse me, everyone, I need to use the restroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gao Yang got up to leave, Li Jinfang casually said, “Wait, I’ll go too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well go together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any need for discussion, Li Jinfang covered for Gao Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang had to get the message out promptly, while Li Jinfang needed to ensure no one got close enough to overhear him making the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the astute Peter had already seen through everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gao Yang and Li Jinfang getting ready to leave, Peter suddenly said, “Wait, if you’re going, we might as well all go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang glanced at Peter, who then nodded slightly and said softly, “Just kidding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the joke, Peter let Gao Yang know that he was aware Gao Yang knew something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Gao Yang knew Peter was aware that he knew something, but Gao Yang pretended not to know that Peter did not know that he knew something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight smile, Gao Yang and Li Jinfang left the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Jinfang stood by the bathroom door while Gao Yang entered and took out his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After connecting to Number Thirteen, he said solemnly, “There’s some concrete evidence pointing towards our key observation area being related to Iron Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep a close eye on it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any progress this afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s been some, but we need to be cautious and observe slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t make a move in the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be back, the time is not yet fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep in touch if anything comes up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang came out of the restroom and waited for Li Jinfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned to the conference room together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang did not necessarily want to carry out the revenge himself, but he did not want to leak anything about Iron Wall Mercenary Corps at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was worried that prematurely revealing information could complicate the already complex situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared someone might take premature action out of a desire for credit, potentially spooking the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Gao Yang needed to make sure he remained in control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Iron Wall Mercenary Corps’ location was confirmed, it could mean Badadi was there as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a possibility of this, and Gao Yang would call upon the largest forces before launching an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could join, but until he decides to launch the attack, and the timing is set, it’s better to keep mouths shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Satan did not attract much attention, and operations could proceed without interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, one had to be cautious of someone spoiling a potentially successful attack in their eagerness to overpower the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not highly likely, it was still possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Iron Wall and Badadi were eliminated by someone seeking glory, that would be fine, but failing to succeed and instead wasting hard-earned intelligence would be a significant loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Peter represented Russian interests, Gao Yang couldn’t guarantee the consequences of letting this information out to the Russians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a need to have the air force deploy reconnaissance planes to closely monitor the training grounds, so the location couldn’t remain secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gao Yang just needed to keep the relationship between Iron Wall Mercenary Corps and Badadi under wraps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gao Yang returned to his seat, Peter looked at him and, after pondering for a moment, suddenly asked, “I was actually not going to ask, but still, could you tell me what you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang shook his head but then nodded, saying, “Not for now, but I will tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when I think it’s the right time to do so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter sighed, saying, “It will not be too late, will it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang replied firmly, “It won’t be too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Gao Yang asked, “Are you close with the injured one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter shrugged his shoulders and replied, “His name is Palyuka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve been comrades for twelve years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We used to share a dorm room until each of us became team leaders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Peter gave Gao Yang a strained smile and said, “I’m not as calm as I appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I’m scared to death right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m afraid Palyuka might die here, and I can’t help but think about revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you know something, please, you must tell me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang pointed at Peter and said, “I promise that if it relates to you, I will tell you, and it won’t be too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, almost an hour has passed since the surgery, and so far, no bad news has come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a good sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, what you should be doing is praying for your friend, not thinking about revenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter nodded, then clasped his hands together, resting them on his forehead, muttering to himself in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting feels terrible, but no bad news means there’s still hope for happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang wasn’t too anxious; he stayed behind only to wait and return with Andy He, but the Russians were another story—they were like ants on a hot pan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gao Yang predicted, the surgery was indeed taking a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours ticked by; more than six had passed, and it was deep into the night with still no sign of activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Russians couldn’t stand it any longer, pacing back and forth in the room, yet eerily quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a Russian could no longer bear it and whispered to Peter, “Commander, may I go take a look at the operating room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s very late now; there shouldn’t be many people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter hesitated and then looked at Dani.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dani nodded, “It’s fine by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no patients around now, nor any casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think not many will see you, as long as you’re not worried about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Peter and his team who needed to hide their identities; the Syrians, on the other hand, would love to publicize their strong reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter jumped to his feet and said, “Let’s go and have a look at the operating room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang looked at Gao Yang, who was also restless, and with a deep voice said, “Let’s go have a look too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group made their way to the operating room’s floor, where three Russians had been pacing in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Peter, they approached him together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter asked in a low voice, “How’s it going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were ordered to be cautious and not be seen by too many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve been staying inside the room most of the time and only just came out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a door outside the row of operating rooms, separating them from the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang and others entered the isolation corridor through the single door and reached the operating room entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area outside the operating room was very quiet, with no other surgeries happening, and only the light was on in Andy He’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter gestured with his hand and lowered his voice, “Forget about it, let’s wait here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone be quiet and make no noise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after their wait, a suppressed, angry growl could be heard from the operating room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t even do this simple task!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You, take his place, and open your eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t cause me any more trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang didn’t know the layout of the operating room, but he could clearly hear Andy He’s voice tinged with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Russians perked up their ears immediately, sweat beading on their foreheads, faces turning pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they heard Andy He’s voice again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you to get out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just stand aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the door to the operating room opened, and a doctor wearing a mask, covered in blood, rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang and the others took the chance to glance inside, but only saw an anteroom; the actual surgery took place in a room further inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor, pushed by someone, saw the cluster of tense faces waiting outside, lowered his head, and hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who came out with the doctor, also in green scrubs and medical gloves, turned to close the door, took off his mask, and it was Gilanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang asked urgently, “What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilanor removed his gloves and took a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Russians crowded around him, their eyes wide, but they dared not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang pressed on, “How’s it going inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did you take off your gloves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you need to go back in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speak up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilanor took another breath and said, “The situation is not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t need me inside anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many doctors assisting Dragon Knight now, many from this hospital who have studied abroad and speak English.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t need me as a translator anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter grabbed Gilanor’s arm, his voice trembling, “Is he, is he alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilanor breathed out and replied, “I’m not quite sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been standing by in the outer room and I’m not allowed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from what I’ve heard, they’ve managed to control the major bleeding points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Gilanor suddenly put on an excited expression, lowering his voice, “The Dragon Knight, oh, that doctor, he’s amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how to describe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, there are five doctors assisting him inside, all the best surgeons from this hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came in three hours ago, and one by one, after just a glance, they didn’t leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kicked out the nurses and assistants who needed my translation, and a group of surgeons personally stepped in to assist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the Dragon Knight is just goddamn miraculous.” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to
