Chapter 725: Hard to Say (Bonus Chapter 2)

"Then take a look." Although Nie Lao did not go out, he had heard of matters within the Military, and regarding the title of Life-Saving Bodhisattva for An Yinan, he maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

An Yinan had been smiling gently just a moment ago, but as she performed the Pulse Reading, her smile slowly vanished, and she then asked Nie Lao to switch to his other hand.

Her smile was completely gone, and her eyes even looked somewhat heavy.

"What is it?" Until she put her hand down, her eyes filled with deep contemplation, Professor Feng could not help but ask.

An Yinan shook her head, "I'll talk about it in a moment. May I look at your leg now?"

Nie Lao nodded, and the Guard squatted down, then rolled up Nie Lao's pant leg; that bullet from back then was lodged between the bones of Nie Lao's lower leg.

An Yinan pressed with her hand, using her X-ray Vision to look inside, only then signaling for the Guard to put the pant leg back down.

"Can't you say?" Professor Feng's expression changed slightly as he asked softly.

An Yinan looked up at him, "It's hard to say."

Three words, representing a great deal.

Nie Lao looked at Professor Feng, then at An Yinan; the jargon used by the Doctor left him somewhat bewildered, "What is hard to say?"

An Yinan looked toward Yun Fei.

Chen Xun and Zhang Qian were both standing behind An Yinan at this moment.

Yun Fei smiled, "Guard, take everyone out first, go to the room over there; a table has been set for you all there, go eat now."

The people in the room were no fools; this was something they were not meant to hear.

One by one they went out, but the Guards for Nie Lao and Chen Lao did not move; the people they were guarding were generals of the country, and without their own orders, they dared not move.

"You go out too." Nie Lao raised his hand.

Before Nie Lao spoke, Chen Lao had already let his own Guard go out as well.

There had been quite a few people just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, only seven people remained.

On one side were An Yinan, Chen Xun, and Zhang Qian.

On the other side were Yun Fei, Chen Lao, and Nie Lao.

And there was also Professor Feng.

An Yinan and Chen Xun exchanged a glance; Chen Xun nodded and walked straight out, with Zhang Qian following closely behind.

The two of them, one guarding the doorway and the other watching the window outside, clearly had something to say that could not be known by others, preventing walls from having ears.

"What was said when the surgery was performed back then?" An Yinan asked.

She had read the medical records and naturally had the notes from the previous surgery; it was clearly recorded at the time that the shrapnel had been removed during the operation, but she had just looked, and the shrapnel had not been removed at all.

"The process of removing the shrapnel went very smoothly, but because Nie Lao was older at the time and the bullet was lodged in the gap of the lower leg bone, the leg bone was injured during the extraction; he would have to use a wheelchair from then on, but his life was considered saved."

An Yinan's eyes narrowed, "What about the person who performed the surgery?"

"That person retired three years ago, and I don't know where they are now," Professor Feng said.

Moreover, he was from the Traditional Chinese Medicine faction, while that person was from the Western medicine faction, and they had always looked down on each other.

He suddenly realized that since Nan Nan was asking this, perhaps the previous surgery...

"Is there something wrong with the surgery?" Professor Feng asked immediately.

An Yinan nodded and rubbed her brow, "The bullet was never removed at all. It was called a shrapnel removal surgery, but in reality, it was..."

She did not finish her sentence, instead looking at Nie Lao.

He was a sharpshooter; even though he was old, his gaze remained sharp and keen. Such a person, in the Military, should have been unparalleled in his prominence.

Yet...

"Speak, this old man can take it." Nie Lao smiled heartily, but his eyes were already cold.

The eyes of Chen Lao and Yun Fei also tightened; this was someone wielding a knife right under their noses, and Nie Lao's leg had been injured for so many years without anyone discovering it.

If Nan Nan hadn't come to look today, then perhaps...

This matter would have gone to the grave unknown.

"During the surgery, they shifted the position of the shrapnel and wedged it between the bone gaps; ordinary instruments probably wouldn't be able to capture it."

"The remaining shrapnel shouldn't be large, but some shrapnel should have been removed; I don't know if it was swapped during the surgery, or..."

When An Yinan said this, she felt a chill run through her.

There are just some people who only care about their own interests, disregarding human life and ignoring the country.
