Li Jue stood at the hospital entrance with a frown on his face.

He had lost a lot of manpower and did not dare to rashly enter the hospital.

"Stay here and don't let even a fly escape!" Li Jue ordered his men. "I'll go to the garrison headquarters to borrow some troops."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yang acted quickly. The leader's operation was completed, and he carefully transferred the leader to the ambulance.

In the car, Xiao He pretended to be a nurse, an underground party comrade pretended to be a driver, and Lu Yang sat in the ambulance at the back.

Slowly drove towards the hospital gate.

From a distance, he saw the checkpoints set up by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents.

"Stop! No one is allowed to go out!" A secret agent stopped the ambulance.

The driver rolled down the window and said calmly, "I'm sending a patient out of the hospital."

The agent sneered: "No one can leave without orders."

At this time, Lu Yang opened the car window at the back and stuck his head out: "Do you know the consequences of delaying the patient's treatment?"

The spy remained unmoved: "Rules are rules."

Lu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then I'll show you my ID."

He took out the credentials of the director of the Financial Committee. When the spy took it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed.

"Director Li... Director Li?" the spy stammered.

Among them was a spy who had set up a checkpoint that morning, and he recognized him at a glance.

Lu Yang nodded: "Can you let me go now?"

The agent hesitated for a moment: "But... our commander said..."

Lu Yang said coldly: "Who is your superior? Li Jue? What right does he have to stop provincial officials?"

The spy was stumped by the question and could not utter a word.

Lu Yang continued to press: "Do you know the consequences of delaying my official duties?"

The spy's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "This...this..."

Lu Yang said impatiently: "Get out of the way, or I'll call the provincial chairman."

When the spy heard this, he immediately panicked: "No, no, no, Director Li, please come in."

In this way, Lu Yang successfully passed the checkpoint and sent the leader to the safe house.

The underground party comrades have arranged for a doctor to give the leader anti-inflammatory injections every day.

After dealing with all this, Lu Yang finally returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lin Wei waiting anxiously.

"How is it?" Lin Wei asked anxiously.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa: "It's safe for now."

Lin Wei handed him a glass of water and said, "Tell me more about it."

Lu Yang recounted the entire process. After listening, Lin Wei frowned and said, "There were quite a few loopholes this time."

Lu Yang nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect the Central Bureau of Investigation to react so quickly."

Lin Wei pondered for a moment: "You have to find a way to fill these loopholes."

Lu Yang said, "I've already thought about it. I'll say it's an important mission from above. I'm responsible for receiving a distinguished guest who suddenly became unwell. I don't know who the doctor is. After examination, it was found to be appendicitis. I will quickly operate. I want to take the distinguished guest back."

Lin Wei shook her head: "There is a question here. Why don't you continue to stay in the hospital? Why are you running away?"

Lu Yang explained: "It can be said that the nobleman has a noble status and has his own medical team. He went home to recuperate."

Lin Wei frowned: "What if we go to the higher-ups to verify, how can you say who this person is?"

Lu Yang was speechless for a moment: "This...what do you say we should do?"

Lin Wei thought for a moment and said, "Why not just say it's you? You take responsibility for everything."

Lu Yang looked at Lin Wei in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Lin Wei explained, "The enemy also knows that you are protecting someone, so they will think that person is very powerful. But you keep your mouth shut, so they can't do anything to you."

Lu Yang pondered for a while, his eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

Lin Wei continued, "You can say you had a sudden onset of appendicitis, but because of your special status, you couldn't stay in a regular hospital for long, so you were urgently transferred."

Lu Yang nodded: "That explains why I left the hospital in such a hurry."

Lin Wei added, "Also, you can take this opportunity to rest for a few days and avoid the enemy's eyes and ears."

Lu Yang smiled: "Lin Wei, you are so smart. This way, we can protect the leader and cover our actions at the same time."

Lin Wei patted Lu Yang's hand gently and said, "Remember, be more careful next time. This was a false alarm, but you won't be so lucky next time."

Lu Yang nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will remember this lesson well."

Lin Wei smiled. For the first time, she was praised by Lu Yang and stopped calling herself a fool.

She stood up, walked to the window, opened a crack and looked outside: "It should be safe outside now. You should rest for a while, I will go prepare dinner."

Lu Yang lay on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Today's experience made him realize the arduousness of the task. But with Lin Wei by his side, he felt much more at ease.

"No, Lin Wei."

Lin Wei hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If I say I have appendicitis, I'll have to make an incision."

"Ah? You really want to make a cut?"

"if not?"

As Lu Yang spoke, he lifted up his clothes, took out a dagger, and burned the tip of the knife with a match.

"Lin Wei, do you have a sewing needle at home?"

Lin Wei was shocked and said, "No, this hurts so much."

"Go now, and stop talking nonsense. Just three symbolic stitches will be enough."

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he waited for Lin Wei to go and sew.

Lin Wei still didn't move. "Go quickly, the enemy will be here soon."

...

Lu Yang lay on the sofa, took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his abdomen.

"Lin Wei, bring the wine." Lu Yang said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, then fetched a bottle of white wine from the kitchen. Her hands trembled slightly, and she was clearly uneasy about what was about to happen.

Lu Yang took the bottle, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, relaxing his nerves a little.

"Okay, let's start." Lu Yang said, pouring the wine on the dagger and pouring some on the lower right side of his abdomen.

The cold wine made him shudder. Lu Yang took a deep breath, gripped the dagger tightly, and aimed it at the intended position.

"Lu Yang, do you really want to do this?" Lin Wei asked worriedly.

Lu Yang did not answer, but gritted his teeth and slowly pressed the dagger down.

"hiss--"

The sharp blade cut through the skin, and blood immediately gushed out. Cold sweat broke out on Lu Yang's forehead, but he endured the pain and continued to cut.

Lin Wei was horrified, but she knew she couldn't back down now. She picked up the gauze she had prepared, ready to stop the bleeding.

Lu Yang's hands trembled slightly, but he persisted, slowly cutting a wound about five centimeters long. Blood flowed down the wound, staining the sofa red.

"Alright," Lu Yang gasped, "Now give me some stitches."

Lin Wei took a deep breath and picked up the needle and thread. Her hands were shaking a little, but she forced herself to calm down.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Lin Wei asked one last time.

Lu Yang nodded. "We have to do this. Hurry up, while the wound is still fresh."

Lin Wei bit her lip and began to sew. She carefully pushed the needle through the skin, and each stitch made Lu Yang gasp.

"I'm sorry," Lin Wei whispered, "I'll try to be gentler."

Lu Yang forced a smile and said, "It's okay, you did a great job."

The three stitches were quickly completed. Lin Wei bandaged the wound with gauze and then helped Lu Yang wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay," Lin Wei said, her voice filled with pain. "How do you feel now?"

Lu Yang smiled weakly, "It's like having an actual appendectomy."

Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh, but there was still worry in her eyes, "You are really a lunatic."

Lu Yang closed his eyes, feeling the pain coming from his wound. This pain made him feel real and alert.

"Lin Wei," Lu Yang said softly, "Thank you."

Lin Wei held his hand and shook her head gently, "Don't talk about this. I'll go make you some porridge. You need to replenish your energy."

Lu Yang nodded and watched Lin Wei walk into the kitchen.
