Chapter 0002 Hospital
Zhuang Rui was unaware that the intense airflow generated when the bullet whizzed past him had caused all the pores around his eyes to rupture, and his cornea had also sustained damage. However, by the time he was lifted onto the ambulance for the hospital, it had miraculously healed, all thanks to the unknown cool sensation in his eyes.
Zhuang Rui's grandfather was a renowned geologist in his hometown's ancient city. However, he could not survive the decade of turmoil, and even Zhuang Rui's father was implicated, passing away due to health issues when Zhuang Rui was five years old. Zhuang Rui's mother was merely an ordinary high school teacher, who raised Zhuang Rui and his sister with great hardship, and she retired early last year.
Uncertain of the cause of this phenomenon, Zhuang Rui initially felt a sense of panic, fearing that he might go blind. However, he later sensed that this coolness seemed to make his eyes increasingly comfortable, thus he set his worries aside.
First, a flash of green appeared before his eyes, and then what emerged in Zhuang Rui's gaze was an expanse of dazzling white. The distance was so close that Zhuang Rui only needed to slightly raise his head for the tip of his nose to touch it. Zhuang Rui had never felt that white could be so radiant, making his body, which had been nourished daily with several bottles of glucose water, feel a sense of dryness in his mouth and throat.
The nurses in the intensive care unit are selected from across the entire hospital; they are not only young but also exceptionally attractive. A few days ago, when Zhuang Rui's former dormitory leader from university came to visit him, he secretly praised Zhuang Rui for his good fortune with women, which left Zhuang Rui feeling both amused and helpless, as he could not see and thus had no idea how beautiful they were.
A familiar voice sounded in Zhuang Rui's ear, accompanied by the soft sound of weeping from www.hetushucomcom. It was his sister's voice. Hearing his loved ones nearby, Zhuang Rui gradually calmed down. The voices of his mother and sister brought him comfort, and he fell into a deep sleep once again
Oh? Pink...
Due to Zhuang Rui's outstanding performance in this incident, the pawnshop suffered no losses whatsoever. Coupled with Uncle De's recommendation, it is highly likely that Zhuang Rui will be appointed as the manager of the pawnshop once he recovers from his illness. This was also privately disclosed by Uncle De during his visit to Zhuang Rui a few days ago. Zhuang Rui felt quite pleased about this, as it signifies a substantial increase in his income. Additionally, with the consolation money received this time, he could consider moving out of the current makeshift housing in Zhabei and taking out a loan to purchase a small apartment in Zhonghai City, bringing his mother to live with him.
After Zhuan Rui was injured, Zhuan's mother and his sister received the notification and immediately rushed to Zhonghai City. They have been guarding Zhuan Rui's hospital bed for two days, and both mother and daughter show signs of fatigue and concern on their faces
The doctor's words brought silence to the mother and daughter, who looked worriedly at Zhuang Rui on the hospital bed
Doctor, how is Xiao Rui? Why has he fallen unconscious again?
Zhuang Rui only felt that as he concentrated his gaze, trying to see clearly what was in front of him, a flash of green light passed by. The cool aura that had been enveloping his eyes for more than half a month suddenly began to flow around his eye sockets, and with the direction of his gaze, it shot away. Before Zhuang Rui could react to what was happening, the scenery he subsequently saw completely stunned him.
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of the hospital room, brightening the dim space. The ward where Zhuang Rui was located was in the inpatient area, where most patients had night-time companions. Now, most of them had risen to begin their morning routines, and the doctors had started their rounds. In an instant, the originally quiet place became somewhat lively, bringing a touch of vitality to the somewhat cold atmosphere of the hospital
... ...
Zhuang Rui was quite confident about regaining the light in his eyes, because after waking up for the second time, he felt as if a cool breeze was enveloping his eyes, preventing them from experiencing the burning sensation associated with injury. Moreover, this cool breeze significantly alleviated the pain from the wound at the back of his head
"Xiao Zhuang, take a moment to adjust to the light, slowly open your eyes, and don't rush..." said the doctor who was treating the wound on Zhuang Rui's head from behind.
The public security authorities and the leaders of the pawnshop have fully recognized and highly praised the professional ethics and courageous actions demonstrated by Zhuang Rui during this incident. A few days ago, they delivered a consolation payment of 100,000 yuan to Zhuang Rui's bedside. It is important to note that if Zhuang Rui had not handled the situation appropriately, those items worth over one million yuan could have very likely been stolen by the robbers
Just after 8:00 in the morning, the leaders of the municipal investment company and Uncle De, the manager of the pawnshop, arrived at the hospital room
In the hospital room, Zhuang Rui felt his mother's hands resting on his shoulder trembling slightly, so he spoke words of comfort. His sister had already returned to Pengcheng after Zhuang Rui first woke up, as she needed to take care of her child. For the past few days, it had been his mother who stayed by his side in the hospital room.
Zhuang Rui's attending physician patted his shoulder and then gestured to the nurse following him, indicating for her to come forward and unwrap the bandages from Zhuang Rui's head and face
Mom ... m.hetushu.com ... It's alright, the doctor has said that the worst possibility is just some impact on vision, but there will be no blindness, so please don't worry ... ...
At this moment, Zhuang Rui suddenly felt that his pride in his calculating mind was somewhat inadequate, presenting a blank slate, with only four words flashing in his mind: so big, so white
Zhuang Rui's sister, Zhuang Min, is five years older than him. She is already married and has a child over three years old. After giving birth, she has not returned to work. Her husband comes from a family with several brothers, and they are an ordinary family, with parents who are unable to provide much support. Her husband is an ordinary worker, very honest, and treats Zhuang Rui's sister well, but his income is not very high. The three of them live somewhat frugally. Zhuang Rui's mother's retirement pension contributes a significant portion to their household expenses, which is one of the reasons Zhuang Rui came to Zhonghai to seek a high-paying job.
Today marks the day when Zhuang Rui's head injury stitches will be removed, and it is also the day when we will know whether his eyesight can be restored. If there are no significant issues with his eyes, he will be able to be discharged today. As for complete recovery, that will require time and gradual recuperation.
As the nurse gently unwrapped the gauze from his face with her delicate hands, Zhuang Rui's heart also calmed down. The earlier feelings of anxiety and uncertainty had completely vanished, replaced by the soothing fragrance emanating from the nurse.
Young man, relax a bit, do not be nervous, it is all right
It has been more than half a month since the robbery at the pawnshop, and under the attention of many individuals, the details of the case have become quite clear
Little Rui, do not be afraid, Mother is here
... ...
Finally, the gauze was removed from the face, but the nurse was still assisting the doctor with the stitches on Zhuang Rui's occiput, where a cut had been made by glass. At that time, it had been stitched with six sutures, and now it could be opened. However, at this moment, the positions of the nurse and Zhuang Rui appeared somewhat unusual; from behind, it seemed as if the nurse was entirely cradling Zhuang Rui's head with her own tall and upright figure.
The doctor's explanation is that the medicinal properties are somewhat cooling, which played a role in causing Zhuang Rui to feel a cool sensation in his eyes. At that moment, it was merely the airflow generated by the bullet being fired that stimulated Zhuang Rui's eyes, and it did not cause any actual damage. By the time he was sent to the hospital, the wound on Zhuang Rui's eye had completely healed, so there would be no significant impact on his vision. However, the injury to the back of his head caused some concern among the doctors. Nevertheless, after a period of observation, it was determined that there were no lasting effects.
Zhuang Rui's mother tightly grasped the white coat of the doctor who rushed over upon hearing the news, her tear-filled eyes full of expectation, fearing to hear bad news from the doctor's mouth
Why does it seem like I have seen similar objects somewhere before, is it Rina Mutou, or is it Matsushima Kaori or Akiyo Sora
In a high-level special care ward of a hospital in Zhonghai City, Zhuang Rui, who had been in a coma for three days, finally awakened. The intense headache made him forget everything that had happened before his unconsciousness. The darkness before his eyes and the pungent smell of disinfectant filled him with panic. Zhuang Rui desperately tried to open his eyes, only to find that all his efforts were in vain, leaving him to flail his hands in the air.
It is nothing to worry about; his electrocardiogram is very stable, and he should be asleep now. Please do not disturb him; let him wake up naturally. The patient's eyes require further examination, but his retina is not detached; it has only been subjected to strong stimulation, so there should be no risk of blindness. Rest assured! The patient is a hero of our city, and the leaders have also given instructions. We will do our utmost to treat him.
In fact, when the medicated black eye mask covering the innermost layer of Zhuang Rui's eyes was removed, he had not yet opened his eyelids, but he could already sense the presence of light. After hearing the doctor's instructions, he slowly opened his eyes
The first thing seen through a slightly opened eye was a blur of pink, seemingly very close. The fragrant scent previously detected at the tip of the nose must have originated from that direction. Zhuang Rui widened his eyes, wanting to see exactly what that place was.
This is a robbery gang that has infiltrated Zhonghai City, consisting of four individuals. The lookout who was stationed outside was also apprehended by the Zhonghai police in the following days. After interrogation, it was revealed that these individuals had disguised themselves as customers and repeatedly visited the pawn shop to scout the location in the week leading up to the incident. On the day of the robbery, Xu Ling's early departure led them to believe that their plan could be executed with ease. However, the good habit that Zhuang Rui had developed over a year of work—strictly adhering to regulations by securing valuable items in the counter before leaving each day—completely thwarted the robbers' plan. Additionally, the early arrival of the bank's cash transport vehicle sealed their tragic fate.
Why is everything black in front of me? Why do my eyes hurt so much, and why can't I open them?
Just as Zhuang Rui focused his gaze on the patch of pink, he suddenly felt a greenish-blue light manifest in his eyes, transforming the entire world before him into shades of greenish-blue. At the same time, the black pupils of Zhuang Rui's eyes seemed to undergo a process akin to cell division, suddenly splitting into two and then swiftly merging back into one. This process was extremely brief, lasting perhaps only a fraction of a second. Within the recombined pupils, an invisible and colorless beam of light shot towards the area of pink that Zhuang Rui was observing, propelled by the intensity of his gaze.
