Chapter 298 Battle Ended, Surgery Preparation

Lu Yu and Xu Yuan stood in the long, narrow corridor and looked at the corpse lying on the ground.

Li Yin, whose throat had been cut by Lu Yu’s claw, was dead. He lay on the ground, motionless.

The surrounding hospital walls and floors were all damaged to varying degrees. Some of the walls had been broken, revealing their internal structure.

Lu Yu looked at the corpse and said, “Finally, he’s dead. This assassin’s strength is something else, and I can see that the Lionheart Empire values you.”

Xu Yuan sighed helplessly. “This is not something to be proud of. I would rather not want them to value or chase after me.”

“Now that the problem has been solved, let’s clean it up.”

Lu Yu said as he pushed open the door of the operating theater and looked at the people inside. He shouted, “Everyone, the problem outside is over, and you can come out now!”

Doctor Zhao took the lead and walked out, followed by a few nurses.

When they saw the corpse in the corridor, they were anxious.

Of course, they weren’t afraid of the corpse being doctors that had seen all kinds of gruesome situations.

What scared them was that someone could sneak into such an important hospital and even threaten to blow up the entire building!

What an uneasy situation to be in.

“Where did this guy come from?” Doctor Zhao came to Lu Yu’s side and asked nervously.

Lu Yu glanced at him and replied indifferently, “This guy is an enemy sent by the Lionheart Empire. He is here to assassinate Xu Yuan.”

Doctor Zhao unhappily retorted, “It’s one thing for this guy to assassinate him, but he’s just a terrorist after he planted explosives and threatened to blow up the entire building!”

Xu Yuan looked at him and protested, “Hey, what do you mean by that? You make it sound like I’m not important.”

Doctor Zhao shrugged. “You are the one that attracted him, or else nothing would have happened to our hospital.”

These doctors were unhappy as, from their point of view, this crisis was all Xu Yuan’s fault.

Lu Yu quickly interrupted them because both sides were about to quarrel.

“Stop. This assassin is the crazy one here, planning to blow up Ixdale Central Hospital. Maybe his mission isn’t even just simply assassinating Xu Yuan, and that’s just an extra!”

Both parties stopped arguing and concluded that Li Yin was just a lunatic terrorist.

Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and let out a long sigh. “Thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for you, I would have died then.”

“This guy forced me into a corner. Fortunately, you took action.”

Lu Yu glanced at him. “I didn’t do it to save you. If it weren’t for him threatening to blow up the building and put my aunt’s life in danger, I wouldn’t have done what I did, as my goal here is to protect my aunt!”

Xu Yuan nodded. “I know you care about your aunt the most, but you still saved me. This is a fact.”

Lu Yu’s actions were to save his aunt, but it was also true that he saved Xu Yuan. He killed two birds with one stone.

“Hurry up and dispose of the body, then free all the doctors and nurses that were captured.”

Lu Yu reminded them, and Doctor Zhao quickly brought his nurses to deal with the corpse.

Some other nurses began searching for the medical staff tied up in each room.

As the originally empty corridor began to get busy, Lu Yu turned around and walked into the operating theater.

After entering, Lu Yu immediately went to his aunt’s bedside.

Seeing that her condition was the same as before, Lu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuan followed him in. When he saw Liu Yi lying on the hospital bed, he couldn’t help but quip, “Your aunt’s condition is dire. However, such a severe illness couldn’t hide her stunning looks.”

Lu Yu shot him an annoyed look. “Do I need you to say that? Can you perform this surgery or not?”

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment in the face of Lu Yu’s question.

“Mr. Lu Yu, you saved me, so I will definitely repay the favor!”

“I wasn’t willing to take any responsibility because I don’t trust others, especially strangers who I haven’t met before.”

“But from the battle just now, you are indeed trustworthy. I am willing to perform the surgery for your aunt!”

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded. “I hope you can do your best. My aunt’s life is in your hands, so don’t let me down!”

Xu Yuan placed a hand on his chest and replied earnestly, “Don’t worry. I will gamble my career to complete this surgery!”

Lu Yu scanned his surroundings. After the incident, the operating theater was in a slight mess, and it would take some time to rearrange.

Moreover, the hospital had suffered a major attack, so they had to deal with the aftermath first.

It seemed that the operation would have to be delayed.

At that moment, Doctor Zhao pushed the door open and walked in. He came in front of Lu Yu and adjusted his glasses.

“The hospital director is going to have a meeting to discuss this attack, the repair work, and future security enhancements. Therefore, the operation might have to be pushed back. At the soonest, it can start tomorrow.”

Lu Yu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

“You guys can go and handle this matter first. It doesn’t matter if it’s delayed for one night; the surgery can start tomorrow.”

These medical personnel had suffered quite a shock after experiencing an assassin’s attack from another country. Even if they were to start the surgery immediately, they might not be able to perform their best.

Therefore, to prevent any risk to the surgery, it was better to wait until tomorrow.

Doctor Zhao nodded. He turned around, walked out of the operating theater, and headed toward the conference room.

“You’re not in a hurry, right? Let’s wait until tomorrow for the surgery.”

Xu Yuan shrugged. “Of course, I’m not in a hurry. What else can I say to my saviour?”

“If you hadn’t released the last burst of poisonous fog, it wouldn’t have been easy for me to win the battle.”

Xu Yuan hurriedly shook his head, “The order is wrong. You were the one who took the brunt of almost the entire battle.”

“Although I had the upper hand, he had his final trump card to detonate the bomb.”

Lu Yu continued, “If you hadn’t weakened him, I wouldn’t have been able to stop him from pressing the detonation button.”

Xu Yuan nodded and stopped arguing.

“I didn’t expect you to be so strong at such a young age. If I had such a powerful bodyguard like you, I wouldn’t be worried about assassins anymore.”

Lu Yu chuckled, “That’s a dream come true.”

“That’s true. With your talent, I can only dream of having you as my bodyguard.”

Xu Yuan walked toward the operating theater exit.

“I’m going out for a while. I’ll come back tomorrow to perform the surgery…”
