Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

After finishing stitching up the tongue, Li Ru began treating the other wounds on Shadow's body.

He carefully cleaned each wound, removing foreign objects and necrotic tissue, and then disinfected and sutured it.

For some larger wounds, he also used skin grafting, taking healthy skin from other parts of the body and transplanting it to the wound to promote healing.

After several hours of intense surgery, Li Ru finally completed the treatment of Yingzi. He even reattached Yingzi's severed limbs and put them in thick casts.

At this moment, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief and wearily took off his mask and gloves.

At this moment, his hands were trembling slightly from the long and intense surgery, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"The surgery was a success; now it's up to her recovery."

Li Ru said to the Japanese dean beside him.

The Japanese hospital director looked at the figure lying on the hospital bed, a complicated look flashing in his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Dr. Li, we owe you a lot this time."

Li Ru smiled and said, "It's nothing. The dean has taken such good care of me, so it's only right that I do these things."

The Japanese hospital director chuckled and said, "I knew Dr. Li was a good friend."

But at this moment, the Japanese hospital director looked at the unconscious figure and said with some worry, "Dr. Li, will she really do something to harm us after she wakes up?"

Li Ru smiled and retorted, "Dean, you've seen it yourself. Her arms and legs are broken. Even if she wakes up, what can she do? Can she fly away? Our top priority right now is to save her life. If she dies, how will you explain it to Lord Uchida?"

The Japanese hospital director thought about it and felt that Li Ru's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Li."

Li Ru nodded slightly, then continued, "She is very weak right now and needs to be observed. It will take at least 24 hours to confirm whether she is really alright. So during these 24 hours, the Imperial Army should not take any extreme actions, otherwise I will not be responsible if she dies."

The Japanese hospital director nodded; he understood. It was perfectly normal for someone who had just been pulled back from the brink of death to be observed for 24 hours.

So the Japanese hospital director ordered the nurses to push the gurney to the intensive care unit.

Li Ru and the Japanese hospital director stayed by the bedside, with the director occasionally exchanging a few words with Li Ru in hushed tones.

However, just as they were about to reach the door of the intensive care unit, a series of hurried footsteps came, and Uchida led several agents over menacingly, blocking the bedside.

Uchida's face was grim. He glanced at the shadow on the hospital bed and said, "Who told you to reattach her arms and legs? Do you even know what you're doing?"

The Japanese hospital director immediately explained, "Mr. Uchida, this person's injuries are extremely serious, and she has lost too much blood. If her hands and feet are not set properly, they will become necrotic!"

Uchida scoffed, "Damn it, so what if she dies? She won't live more than a few days anyway."

The Japanese dean swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Two Japanese agents stepped forward to remove the cast from Shadow's arm. However, Li Ru stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Sir, do you want her to die? If you don't want her to live, you shouldn't have brought her to the hospital for treatment."

Uchida glanced coldly at Li Ru and retorted, "Chinese, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"

Li Ru, whose imposing manner was in no way inferior to Uchida's, said: "It is the Imperial Japanese Army, and it is our Dean!"

At this moment, Li Ru emphasized the word "dean" in order to drag the Japanese dean into the mess.

And sure enough, when Li Ru mentioned the Japanese dean, the Japanese dean's posture involuntarily rose a few degrees.

The Japanese hospital director suddenly seemed like a different person, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mr. Uchida, are you making things difficult for us? You want us to save this person, yet you won't listen to our advice? Do you know that this person was practically dead when she arrived? If it weren't for Dr. Li's superb skills, she would have died long ago. And now, she's still in critical condition, and your people want to harm her. Do you think we're all gods?"

Uchida was speechless after being rebuked.

Moreover, the Japanese dean was not under his jurisdiction at all; people respected him and addressed him as "Your Excellency." If they didn't respect him, he would just be a nobody.

He then looked at the shadow on the hospital bed again and said, "I'm taking this person with me."

But before Li Ru could speak, the Japanese hospital director blocked the bedside and said, "Mr. Uchida, did you really not understand what I said? This person was just pulled back from the brink of death by Dr. Li. She is extremely weak and needs to be immediately admitted to the intensive care unit for observation and follow-up treatment. If you take her away now, you can only do so if you guarantee that if she dies, it will have nothing to do with our hospital, and you will not send her to my hospital again."

Uchida frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He said coldly, "What, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

The Japanese hospital director remained unmoved and said, "I wouldn't dare! Mr. Uchida, I'm just explaining this to you from a medical perspective. If you don't believe me, Mr. Uchida, feel free to take the person away."

At this moment, Li Ru stepped aside and said to the Japanese hospital director, "Director, as you have seen, the other party questioned my professionalism. So if anything happens to this person again, it has nothing to do with me. You must testify for me. I serve the Imperial Army wholeheartedly. I have done my best to treat every patient that the Imperial Army asked me to treat."

At this moment, Li Ru was also gambling, hoping that his words would dispel Uchida's suspicions and make him let go. At least for 24 hours, he wouldn't take the girl away, giving Li Ru a chance to ask her some questions.

Uchida fell into deep thought. He had initially assumed that Li Ru, being Chinese, had developed sympathy for the Shadow. However, the Dean's statement made him somewhat uncertain again.

Moreover, it's not hard to guess from the Japanese hospital director's words that Li Ru is the best doctor in the entire hospital.

And right now, the shadow does indeed look very weak.

But he was somewhat unwilling to give up the idea of ​​taking the shadow away, after all, the shadow was related to a big plan of his.

Just then, a Japanese spy leaned close to Uchida's ear and whispered a few words.

Uchida's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and then he slowly nodded.

He then looked at the Japanese dean and Li Ru and said, "Alright, considering how hard you've worked, I won't take her with me. But I'm telling you, if anything happens to her, or if she runs away, don't blame me for being impolite."

With that, Uchida waved his hand, and four Japanese agents immediately took up positions on either side; clearly, they were there to keep watch on Shadow! (End of Chapter)
