1045: Chapter One Thousand Twenty-Nine He is the Dragon Knight 1045: Chapter One Thousand Twenty-Nine He is the Dragon Knight The machine gunners set up an ambush with interlocking fire, firing with high precision, knowing how to infiltrate and establish the position in advance.
They are aware of the need to shift positions, and they can reload swiftly and in a standard manner, but still not swift enough.
It’s all by-the-book precision, not the kind of fluid motion born from extreme familiarity.
Just like reconstructing a scene, unraveling clues bit by bit, Gao Yang then obtained the answer he was looking for.
Gao Yang nodded lightly, a hint of a smile blossoming on his face.
Realizing his lapse in composure, he looked up and said, “Alright, I understand now.
Thank you, thank you everyone for your explanations, I truly appreciate it.”
Gao Yang tried hard to maintain a calm expression.
He stood up and said with a slight bow, “Excuse me, everyone, I need to use the restroom.”
As Gao Yang got up to leave, Li Jinfang casually said, “Wait, I’ll go too.
Might as well go together.”
Without any need for discussion, Li Jinfang covered for Gao Yang.
Gao Yang had to get the message out promptly, while Li Jinfang needed to ensure no one got close enough to overhear him making the call.
However, the astute Peter had already seen through everything.
Seeing Gao Yang and Li Jinfang getting ready to leave, Peter suddenly said, “Wait, if you’re going, we might as well all go.”
Gao Yang glanced at Peter, who then nodded slightly and said softly, “Just kidding.”
With the joke, Peter let Gao Yang know that he was aware Gao Yang knew something.
Now Gao Yang knew Peter was aware that he knew something, but Gao Yang pretended not to know that Peter did not know that he knew something.
With a slight smile, Gao Yang and Li Jinfang left the conference room.
Then Li Jinfang stood by the bathroom door while Gao Yang entered and took out his phone.
After connecting to Number Thirteen, he said solemnly, “There’s some concrete evidence pointing towards our key observation area being related to Iron Wall.
Keep a close eye on it.”
“Okay, understood.”
“Any progress this afternoon?”
“There’s been some, but we need to be cautious and observe slowly.
We can’t make a move in the current situation.
We need to wait.”
“Understood.
I’ll be back, the time is not yet fixed.
Keep in touch if anything comes up.”
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang came out of the restroom and waited for Li Jinfang.
They returned to the conference room together.
Gao Yang did not necessarily want to carry out the revenge himself, but he did not want to leak anything about Iron Wall Mercenary Corps at the moment.
He was worried that prematurely revealing information could complicate the already complex situation.
He feared someone might take premature action out of a desire for credit, potentially spooking the enemy.
Thus, Gao Yang needed to make sure he remained in control.
If Iron Wall Mercenary Corps’ location was confirmed, it could mean Badadi was there as well.
There is a possibility of this, and Gao Yang would call upon the largest forces before launching an attack.
Anyone could join, but until he decides to launch the attack, and the timing is set, it’s better to keep mouths shut.
The situation had changed.
Initially, Satan did not attract much attention, and operations could proceed without interference.
But now, one had to be cautious of someone spoiling a potentially successful attack in their eagerness to overpower the enemy.
Although not highly likely, it was still possible.
If Iron Wall and Badadi were eliminated by someone seeking glory, that would be fine, but failing to succeed and instead wasting hard-earned intelligence would be a significant loss.
Especially since Peter represented Russian interests, Gao Yang couldn’t guarantee the consequences of letting this information out to the Russians.
There was a need to have the air force deploy reconnaissance planes to closely monitor the training grounds, so the location couldn’t remain secret.
But Gao Yang just needed to keep the relationship between Iron Wall Mercenary Corps and Badadi under wraps.
When Gao Yang returned to his seat, Peter looked at him and, after pondering for a moment, suddenly asked, “I was actually not going to ask, but still, could you tell me what you know?”
Gao Yang shook his head but then nodded, saying, “Not for now, but I will tell you.
Just when I think it’s the right time to do so.”
Peter sighed, saying, “It will not be too late, will it?”
Gao Yang replied firmly, “It won’t be too late.”
After a moment’s thought, Gao Yang asked, “Are you close with the injured one?”
Peter shrugged his shoulders and replied, “His name is Palyuka.
We’ve been comrades for twelve years.
We used to share a dorm room until each of us became team leaders.”
After speaking, Peter gave Gao Yang a strained smile and said, “I’m not as calm as I appear.
In fact, I’m scared to death right now.
I’m afraid Palyuka might die here, and I can’t help but think about revenge.
If you know something, please, you must tell me!”
Gao Yang pointed at Peter and said, “I promise that if it relates to you, I will tell you, and it won’t be too late.
Also, almost an hour has passed since the surgery, and so far, no bad news has come.
This is a good sign.
Right now, what you should be doing is praying for your friend, not thinking about revenge.”
Peter nodded, then clasped his hands together, resting them on his forehead, muttering to himself in a low voice.
Waiting feels terrible, but no bad news means there’s still hope for happiness.
Gao Yang wasn’t too anxious; he stayed behind only to wait and return with Andy He, but the Russians were another story—they were like ants on a hot pan.
As Gao Yang predicted, the surgery was indeed taking a long time.
Hours ticked by; more than six had passed, and it was deep into the night with still no sign of activity.
The Russians couldn’t stand it any longer, pacing back and forth in the room, yet eerily quiet.
The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocating.
Finally, a Russian could no longer bear it and whispered to Peter, “Commander, may I go take a look at the operating room?
It’s very late now; there shouldn’t be many people.”
Peter hesitated and then looked at Dani.
Dani nodded, “It’s fine by me.
There are no patients around now, nor any casualties.
I think not many will see you, as long as you’re not worried about it.”
It was Peter and his team who needed to hide their identities; the Syrians, on the other hand, would love to publicize their strong reinforcements.
Peter jumped to his feet and said, “Let’s go and have a look at the operating room.”
Li Jinfang looked at Gao Yang, who was also restless, and with a deep voice said, “Let’s go have a look too.”
A group made their way to the operating room’s floor, where three Russians had been pacing in place.
Seeing Peter, they approached him together.
Peter asked in a low voice, “How’s it going?”
“We don’t know yet.
We were ordered to be cautious and not be seen by too many people.
We’ve been staying inside the room most of the time and only just came out.”
There was a door outside the row of operating rooms, separating them from the outside world.
Gao Yang and others entered the isolation corridor through the single door and reached the operating room entrance.
The area outside the operating room was very quiet, with no other surgeries happening, and only the light was on in Andy He’s room.
Peter gestured with his hand and lowered his voice, “Forget about it, let’s wait here.
Everyone be quiet and make no noise.”
Not long after their wait, a suppressed, angry growl could be heard from the operating room.
“Stop!
What’s wrong with you!
Can’t even do this simple task!
Get out!
You, take his place, and open your eyes wide.
Don’t cause me any more trouble!”
Gao Yang didn’t know the layout of the operating room, but he could clearly hear Andy He’s voice tinged with anger.
The Russians perked up their ears immediately, sweat beading on their foreheads, faces turning pale.
Soon they heard Andy He’s voice again.
“I told you to get out!
Not just stand aside.
Don’t you understand?
Get out!”
Quickly, the door to the operating room opened, and a doctor wearing a mask, covered in blood, rushed out.
Gao Yang and the others took the chance to glance inside, but only saw an anteroom; the actual surgery took place in a room further inside.
The doctor, pushed by someone, saw the cluster of tense faces waiting outside, lowered his head, and hurried away.
The person who came out with the doctor, also in green scrubs and medical gloves, turned to close the door, took off his mask, and it was Gilanor.
Gao Yang asked urgently, “What’s going on?”
Gilanor removed his gloves and took a breath.
The Russians crowded around him, their eyes wide, but they dared not speak.
Gao Yang pressed on, “How’s it going inside?
Why did you take off your gloves?
Don’t you need to go back in?
Speak up!”
Gilanor took another breath and said, “The situation is not bad.
They don’t need me inside anymore.
There are many doctors assisting Dragon Knight now, many from this hospital who have studied abroad and speak English.
They don’t need me as a translator anymore.”
Peter grabbed Gilanor’s arm, his voice trembling, “Is he, is he alright?”
Gilanor breathed out and replied, “I’m not quite sure.
I’ve been standing by in the outer room and I’m not allowed in.
But from what I’ve heard, they’ve managed to control the major bleeding points.”
After saying that, Gilanor suddenly put on an excited expression, lowering his voice, “The Dragon Knight, oh, that doctor, he’s amazing.
He’s just…
just…
I don’t know how to describe it.
Do you know?
Right now, there are five doctors assisting him inside, all the best surgeons from this hospital.
They came in three hours ago, and one by one, after just a glance, they didn’t leave.
They kicked out the nurses and assistants who needed my translation, and a group of surgeons personally stepped in to assist.
In short, the Dragon Knight is just goddamn miraculous.” (To be continued.
