The doctor was also a shrewd observer, quickly realizing Hariri's deep concern for the patient. Connecting this with the patient's condition, he guessed that there was more to it and decided to support Luo Zheng, who was feigning illness. He hurriedly said, "If not treated in ti, there might be a life-threatening situation. The specific condition can only be determined after verification. From what we can see now, there are signs of deterioration. There are too many people here, which is not conducive to his recovery."
Hariri stared sternly at the doctor for a full minute, like a venomous snake watching its prey, unnerving the doctor to the point of near collapse. Suddenly, Hariri said, "No matter what, we must treat him well," and he gave so instructions to the surrounding people in the local language.
Soon, the ard personnel withdrew, and Hariri also left. The room only had the doctor and one ard guard left. This guard was left by Hariri to monitor the situation. The doctor glanced at the guard and again focused on Luo Zheng, pretending to start an examination, speaking in the international language, "Can you hear ? If you can, take deep breaths, relax your body, and don't worry, you'll be alright."
Luo Zheng increased his breathing, and after getting so oxygen, his complexion improved a bit. Seeing this, the doctor beca even more sure of his guess, but with soone beside him, he couldn't say much, so he patiently waited. Having nothing else to do, he sat down at the bedside, suddenly feeling his hand being grabbed.
The doctor's expression changed slightly, looking down to see it was Luo Zheng. He imdiately looked at the guard beside him and saw the guard had no suspicion, secretly relieved. Suddenly, he felt Luo Zheng drawing a cross in his palm, prompting him to look at the guard and say, "Hey, I'm thirsty. Is there any water to drink?"
The guard only glared coldly at the doctor without moving, leading the doctor to feign dissatisfaction, saying, "You strong ones, have kidnapped us for three years without release, kept us in sunless caves. How long do you plan to keep us confined? God will punish you."
"Want to die?" the guard suddenly retorted coldly, "Say more of this, and I'll kill you; have you forgotten the rules?"
"It's been three years, living's worse than dying; you kill, if you do, no one can save him anyway. I don't want to live either, that cave's nice, scenic, with a big tree. The river passes by the cave entrance, just thirty miles east. If you kill , rember to bury under that big tree," the doctor coldly said.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng was secretly delighted, itching to thank the doctor imdiately but restrained himself, slowly releasing his grip on the doctor's hand. The doctor looked at Luo Zheng with complex emotions, noting the guard's angry approach, whose eyes flashed with panic but still bravely said, "Co, kill , see who will save him."
The guard pulled the doctor aside and started inspecting Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng imdiately held his breath, pretending to be unconscious. The guard inspected carefully, assuming Luo Zheng hadn't heard the earlier words. His face darkened, glaring at the doctor, "Say even half of a relevant word, and I'll kill you; you know the rules. I'll report this, you just wait for punishnt."
"Whatever, living's worse than dying, might as well die sooner," the doctor pretended nonchalant but said no more, having already conveyed the necessary.
Afterward, the room fell silent, ti passing in waiting. After a while, soone brought equipnt over, and the doctor began busying himself, testing food, then administering a glucose IV to Luo Zheng, informing the guard, "Mild food poisoning causing other symptoms, administer an IV, let him lie down overnight, should be better by tomorrow morning."
The monitoring guard had the doctor sent away. Seeing Luo Zheng still unconscious, he quickly arranged for soone to watch over, running to report. Hariri waited in the room's hall, hearing the doctor's complaints, inquiring about details, especially Luo Zheng's awareness at that mont. Upon confirming through checks that Luo Zheng was unconscious, he relaxed and said to the monitoring guard, "Imdiately increase vigilance, place hidden sentries thirty kiloters out to prevent any mishaps."
"What if they're sent by the enemy?" the monitoring guard quietly reminded.
"It's too early to conclude if they're enemy sent; let's discuss tomorrow morning. First, deliver a batch of goods. If they pay honestly and behave properly, it shows they're buyers. The doctor's complaints are just that, after the matter, I'll personally deal with the doctor, temporarily don't act against him," Hariri advised.
"Yes." The monitoring guard promptly agreed.
"No, position hidden sentries fifty kiloters out, see if there's any enemy ambush nearby; mustn't be careless. Double the vigilance level here, conduct operations secretively, don't alert anyone. Everything deferred until tomorrow's transaction," Hariri instructed.
"Yes!" The monitoring guard agreed and departed.
Lying in bed, feigning illness, Luo Zheng knew the monitoring guard would watch closely and surely report, but it didn't matter now. The doctor's words contained abundant information involving the detention location and indicating the doctor was a Red Cross mber, kidnapped with a dostic dical team, held for three years.
This news excited Luo Zheng greatly, breathing fresh air deeply, recovering physically. Outside, Ghost Hand suspiciously entered, looked at Luo Zheng quietly and asked, "Madrid is on duty at the entrance, no one's eavesdropping, are you okay?"
Luo Zheng opened his eyes joyfully and said, "I'm fine, I have news."
"What news?" Ghost Hand asked offhandedly, then caught on, shock-filled, pursuing Luo Zheng, "Fantastic, what news? How did you manage?"
"Not too difficult, haha." Luo Zheng chuckled happily, recounting the earlier situation in detail, concluding, "Having the location is good, but don't rush; I estimate the enemy's increased vigilance. Hasty actions would only expose us. They're surely waiting for tomorrow's transaction; if successful, it proves we're clear, and ample chances to rescue afterward. Got it?"
"Don't worry, I understand." Ghost Hand replied excitedly, eyes full of joy, couldn't help rubbing his hands and chuckling, "This doctor's clever, interesting. Considering his help, we'll rescue him later, as thanks. What's your next plan? Should we call for backup?"
"Not now, it's too late, wait for tomorrow morning's transaction first. Don't ntion this to Madela for now to prevent accidents; for now, we only have news of our people, not of who he seeks." Luo Zheng quietly advised.
"Got it." Ghost Hand seriously nodded in agreent, thinking of soon eting his fiancée separated for three years; Ghost Hand felt excited, secretly vowed to rescue her this ti no matter what.
