Chapter 718: Gu Jingyi is back

Chapter 718: Gu Jingyi is back

She said she was watching TV, but her mind was wandering, and she didn't remember anything that was on TV.

With the TV on, the room didn't feel so cold and empty.

Lu Ye was all she could think about.

She would get anxious and worried every time he didn't come back at the agreed time.

She didn't turn off the TV and the living room lights until after 10 p.m. before going back to her room to sleep.

She was exhausted from overusing her brain these days, so she forced herself to stop overthinking.

I still have work to do during the day, and if I don't get enough rest, I'll feel lethargic all day, which has a negative impact.

In her sleep, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.

Bai Zhi struggled to open her sleepy eyes; the bedroom light was already on.

What came into her view was an enlarged image of a tired, unshaven face.

"Brother Ye, you're back?"

Bai Zhi exclaimed in surprise, fearing she was hallucinating, and quickly raised her hand to touch his face.

The prickly stubble between her fingers told her she wasn't dreaming.

Lu Ye sat on the edge of the bed, pulled the person into his arms, his eyes full of tenderness, "Yes, I just got back."

"Have you eaten? I have some spare ribs that Wang Yumei brought over in the fridge. I'll heat them up for you." Bai Zhi didn't know what time it was; her first thought was to make sure Lu Ye didn't go hungry.

After she finished speaking, she tried to sit up.

"Wife, I'm not hungry." Lu Ye pulled her into his arms.

It's like holding a rare treasure, unwilling to let go.

Bai Zhi lay in his arms, looking at his tired face and bloodshot eyes, feeling really sorry for him. She said, "You look very tired. Why don't you wash up and go to bed to rest?"

"Wife, are you awake?" Lu Ye didn't move, but met her eyes and asked this question.

Bai Zhi laughed and said, "You're awake now, but you definitely haven't had enough sleep."

She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was only 2 a.m.

Lu Ye often came back in the middle of the night.

"I want to tell you something."

Seeing that his wife's eyes were clear and she was sober, Lu Ye became more serious than ever before, wanting to talk to her about serious matters.

Bai Zhi met his deep eyes and sensed that something was amiss. She sat up straight, looked at him, and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Her first reaction was to look him up and down, and then touch him all over.

Are you injured anywhere?

Lu Ye shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not injured."

Afraid his wife wouldn't believe him, he stood up and raised his arm. He turned around so she could check his back.

Bai Zhi checked him over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had returned unharmed.

As long as he returns safely, nothing else matters to her.

Her tone softened, "So, what do you want to tell me?"

"Gu Jingyi is back!" Lu Ye said.

"What did you say?" Bai Zhi looked at him in astonishment, her voice rising slightly involuntarily.

Lu Ye gestured for her to slow down her voice.

Bai Zhi lowered her voice and confirmed, "Did you come back today? Was your mission to find him this time?"

Lu Ye knew his wife was very smart.

He nodded. "Yes, after the unit received the tip, I went with several other comrades from the army to pick him up."

"How is he now? Is he seriously injured?" Bai Zhi asked anxiously.

When I was rescued in my previous life, I was so badly injured that I was unrecognizable, with not a single part of my body unharmed.

His face was slashed, he was crippled, he was shot, and most importantly, he was injected with a drug.

If it falls into the hands of those beasts, it's inevitable that it will get contaminated with that stuff.

Especially for undercover agents, the first step in getting close to those people is to control them with that kind of thing.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, one can only passively accept it.

Of course, there were also cases where, after their identities were exposed, those people retaliated in an inhumane way, wanting them to suffer a fate worse than death.

Lu Ye's expression was grave. "He is indeed seriously injured and is currently in the intensive care unit."

"Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Bai Zhi thought that if Gu Jingyi was also injected with poison in this life, then she would have to save him.

Lu Ye replied, "Don't worry, we'll go check on him tomorrow morning. We won't be able to see him now anyway."

"good."

"When should we inform my sister and his family of this news?" Bai Zhi's first thought was to let Lu Shan and Gu Jingyi's family know that he was alive as soon as possible.

They have endured too much suffering in the past two years.

"The organization will arrange for the notification of his family."

Since the organization was unaware of Gu Jingyi's relationship with Lu Shan, it was naturally impossible for them to inform that outsider.

Even if they notify him themselves, they need to wait until Gu Jingyi's condition stabilizes and he is able to see people before doing so.

In addition, given Gu Jingyi's special status, the fewer people who know about his return, the better.

This was done to protect the safety of his family and friends.

"Don't worry, go to sleep first, we'll go to the hospital together in the morning."

"good."

Because of the important news brought by Lu Ye, Bai Zhi couldn't fall asleep in bed. Lu Ye was too tired from being away these days, and he started snoring as soon as he hugged his wife.

Bai Zhi gently stroked his cheek, lying there for several hours with mixed feelings. She wondered how excited Lu Shan would be when she heard that Gu Jingyi had returned.

She stayed awake until morning, got up and made breakfast, and Lu Ye also opened his eyes when the alarm clock rang at home.

Bai Zhi said considerately, "Brother Ye, you look very tired. Why don't you rest for a while, and I'll go to the hospital?"

"I slept with my wife in my arms all night, and all my fatigue disappeared."

Lu Ye was about to get up and get dressed when Bai Zhi said...

"Wait a moment, I'll go get you some clean clothes from the closet."

Bai Zhi very kindly got him a change of clothes, then pulled him into the bathroom and told him to shave and wash up first.

I quickly tidied up and then served a simple breakfast.

"Drink some milk. I made two egg pancakes. Let's eat them before we go to the hospital."

"Thank you, my dear wife, you're so good to me." Lu Ye's eyes were full of happiness.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi rode her motorcycle to the military hospital. Lu Ye was supposed to ride the motorcycle, but Bai Zhi, considerate of his hard work, told him to just sit on the back of her motorcycle.

After arriving at the hospital and parking the car, Bai Zhi asked, "Would it be inappropriate for me to go with them?"

After all, she was just an ordinary doctor, and strictly speaking, she didn't belong to a military hospital.

Given Gu Jingyi's special status, he certainly wouldn't allow unauthorized individuals to approach.

Lu Ye patted her head and said, "Honey, you go to work first. I'll go ask our comrades about the situation."

"good."

When Lu Ye arrived at the intensive care unit, there were two comrades guarding the outside.

"How is the situation?" he asked.

"They said his vital signs were stable, but the wound on his leg was infected and he might need debridement surgery."

Just as we were talking, a large group of doctors who had been to the emergency room the night before walked over.

The emergency room doctor explained the situation: "Here's the thing, this guy's leg wound is very infected. We need to perform debridement surgery first to resolve the infection, and then we can perform surgery on his leg."
