Chapter 622 - 592: I Really Can’t Thank You Enough! (Double-Length)
Wu Shou nodded eagerly, extremely sincere.
The Master of Ceremonies sighed softly, and this sigh instantly tensed Wu Shou’s nerves, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead, fearing he might hear a refusal.
"Can the delivery be made now?" The Master of Ceremonies turned to ask Red Dragonfly.
Red Dragonfly’s lips curled slightly, showing a half-smiling expression:
"No, the employer has strict requirements on delivery time, neither early nor late."
She glanced at her wristwatch and added,
"The exact time will be two days from now."
The Master of Ceremonies’ eyes returned to Wu Shou:
"It was agreed that once you delivered here, we’d let you go. I am someone who usually adheres to the rules.
But since you are so enthusiastic, we can’t ignore your goodwill, so..."
The Master of Ceremonies deliberately elongated the tone, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes as he smiled and said:
"Alright, let’s agree to let you stay with us for another two days."
Wu Shou’s mouth involuntarily formed an ’O’ shape, wanting to cry but forced a wide smile:
"That’s... that’s great, thank you, really thank you so much!"
........
In the Fourth Hospital, the air unique to the VVIP ward area, with its mix of disinfectant and expensive fragrance, was being stirred by the busy coming and going.
The cold ticking of the machines no longer dominated, replaced by soft footfalls, low murmured instructions, and the faint clinking of metal instruments against the special glass.
The medical staff were busy installing anti-shock supports, electromagnetic gears, etc., around the aquarium (nutrient tank) in the ward.
In the aquarium, Qian Huan’s head was floating powerlessly above the surface, with his body fully submerged underwater below the neck.
Compared to the initial horrifying bloody state, now, at least visually, he was no longer so repulsive.
A layer of fair pink new skin had been transplanted on his body, thin enough to reveal the tangled network of bluish-purple blood vessels underneath.
Although the visual brutality had diminished, the sight was harsher on the eyes because he was unclothed.
Fortunately, the medical staff were well-experienced professionals, and no one would peek beneath Qian Huan’s waist.
To prevent muscle atrophy, the aquarium was electrified, maintaining 24-hour electrical stimulation massages on his muscles.
Therefore...
Even though Qian Huan’s brain hadn’t awakened, his lower body already had.
This was a positive sign, indicating his vital signs were gradually stabilizing.
The attending physician even suggested that Li Hanyu could find two women to help Qian Huan relieve himself; after all, a comatose person also has normal physiological needs.
It might also slightly stimulate Qian Huan’s cerebral cortex, which could aid in his awakening.
The doctor’s advice was reasonable, and Li Hanyu took note of it.
Of course, this kind of "auxiliary treatment" wasn’t suitable for conducting in the hospital. It would have to wait until her son returned home and then hire a few professional caregivers for the "rehabilitation service."
At this moment, several medical staff were carefully placing a cover over the aquarium.
There wasn’t a need for concealment in the VVIP ward, but considering privacy protection during transport, they thoughtfully covered the aquarium with frosted glass.
Half an hour later, everything was ready, and the medical staff pushed the aquarium onto a medical vehicle.
Li Hanyu followed along the entire time, and behind her were two rows of differently dressed bodyguards, all exuding an intimidating aura that warned strangers to stay away.
The accompanying medical team was equipped with a full set of emergency equipment; they would station themselves at the Li family villa to provide 24-hour continuous monitoring for Qian Huan, preventing any unexpected incidents.
Li Hanyu stopped at the car door, her gaze shifted to Hou Wendong, who was always close by her side.
Li Hanyu smiled and asked:
"Secretary Hou, is everything all set at the villa?"
The entire transport process and the modifications to the villa were all handled by Hou Wendong, highlighting a sense of transparency and unconditional trust.
Trusting Hou Wendong was akin to trusting Member of Parliament Wang Xinfa.
Sure enough, Member of Parliament Wang Xinfa not only did not obstruct Qian Huan’s discharge but also took the opportunity to show his "concern" during the process, portraying the image of a loving father and good husband vividly.
Hou Wendong slightly bowed:
"Rest assured, Madam, the villa has been modified according to the hospital’s requirements.
The innermost bedroom on the ground floor has been vacated, transformed into a sterile medical room, equipped with a complete set of life-support equipment, including backup power and oxygen supply systems, all tuned and tested."
Hou Wendong paused and specifically pointed out who deserved credit:
"The Member of Parliament is very concerned about this matter, and specifically instructed that it must be flawless."
Li Hanyu nodded slightly, a slightly tired and faint smile appeared on her face:
"Thank you, Secretary Hou, and pass my thanks to Xinfa."
"Madam, you are too kind, it’s all within my duty." Hou Wendong replied with a lowered head.
Two hours later, the convoy drove into a high-end villa area nestled amid lush greenery.
The villa area placed a high value on privacy, so certainly no surveillance existed.
However, the spacing between the villas was not very expansive, which was unavoidable, as every district in the Lower City was quite compact after the great calamity.
As the "Ghoul" mocked, people in the city were like those locked in tight iron cages.
The poor live cramped together, and the wealthy have land that is worth its weight in gold.
Luckily, tall redwoods and carefully manicured shrubs encircled each villa, forming a natural visual barrier, ensuring some degree of privacy.
Li Hanyu’s villa was a bit further in, with construction noise coming from the adjacent villa, suggesting renovations were underway.
Sitting inside the car, Li Hanyu frowned in displeasure:
"This noise is too loud, it would affect Little Huan’s recovery. Secretary Hou, handle it in the next couple of days and have the construction next door stopped."
"Understood, Madam."
Hou Wendong answered respectfully, with no tell of emotion on his face.
Of course, he wouldn’t take action—not due to lack of ability, but because he understood the nuances well.
Those living in high-end villa areas in Zone 9 inevitably held some status, either wealthy or noble.
There was no need to involve the Member of Parliament over such matters, nor was there any need to risk creating enemies or trouble for him over it.
Still, Hou Wendong wouldn’t say much but would completely agree and comply with Li Hanyu, showcasing the wisdom of being a secretary.
Li Hanyu merely mentioned it without further emphasis; she too realized the low probability of Hou Wendong acting on it, yet she mentioned it because there naturally was a reason behind it.
The medical vehicle drove directly into the underground garage, smoothly transferring the aquarium to the most internal large bedroom on the ground floor via a dedicated lift platform.
The bedroom door was remodeled into an explosion-resistant alloy door, thickened by four layers.
Furthermore, the entire outer wall of the building was thickened, all windows sealed with special concrete, leaving only the air conditioning vent for filtered ventilation.
Well...
Indeed, Qian Huan’s mother, this level of security consciousness perfectly exemplified the notion of "a mother and son being of one heart."
Although Hou Wendong thought it was somewhat exaggerated, given how Qian Huan first survived an explosion and then an assassination attempt, barely escaping death both times.
Li Hanyu’s arrangements didn’t seem entirely inexplicable.
The aquarium was placed in the central reserved position of the room, swiftly interfacing with the pre-set lines.
The medical staff operated proficiently, with the flashing green light and stable curves on the instruments indicating stable vital signs.
"Madam, Prison Director Qian’s vital signs are stable, perfectly synchronized with the hospital’s data, and the life-support system is functioning normally."
The lead doctor reported to Li Hanyu.
Li Hanyu nodded, her gaze sweeping the converted enclosed bedroom; for safety, it no longer had a shred of "home" warmth, more like a sealed iron chamber.
Li Hanyu took a deep breath and began making various arrangements.
She forcibly reorganized the two groups of bodyguards into three, one patrolling the villa entrance, another in the ground floor hall, with the last group on rotational rest in the guest room on the second floor.
She considered post locations, rotation schedules, and emergency protocols.
Regarding the rooms adjacent to the bedroom, she left them for herself and a few medical staff members.
She meticulously organized everything, leaving no room for anyone to find a reason to refute, ensuring that, regardless of individual thoughts, everyone on the surface had no choice but to follow her directives.
