Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 680: A Chance to Change Destiny

Chaihuo Niu naturally made the call to the person on the business card.

The call was answered quickly, and Chaihuo Niu asked cautiously, "Hello, is this Dr. Jason?"

The response on the other end of the phone was quite quick; a very calm voice said, "Yes, how did you find out about this number?"

There was no self-introduction, nor any further questions.

The girl cautiously asked, "Do you know a young Asian man? Um, I don't know his name, but he's very rich and seems powerful. Do you know him?"

Chaihuo Niu didn't know what to say, but her intuition told her it was better to be careful.

Jason only knew one person like this: Asian, young, and seemingly powerful.

More importantly, Jason only gave his phone number, which would never change, to one person, and that person was the gardener.

The doctor, filled with respect, asked in a deep voice, "I know him. Did he send you to find me?"

The doctor clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet; he simply assumed the gardener needed his help and had just had someone call him.

Chaihuo Niu breathed a slight sigh of relief. She looked at Gao Yi on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "It wasn't him who asked me to find you. He was dying, and I found his wallet in his pocket. Uh, I found your business card in the wallet."

The doctor was shocked; he was stunned. After a moment of disbelief, he exclaimed in astonishment, "The gardener is dying? Then who are you!"

"I am...I am...I am just passing by."

The doctor gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, because he was somewhat flustered and afraid.

For Dr. Jason, those who need his help are basically people who have reached the end of their rope and have no hope of turning their lives around, like Andy Jr.

The doctor whispered, "What happened to him? What's his condition? What clothes is he wearing? What kind of injury did he suffer?"

“He was shot. He asked to borrow my phone, but he passed out. So I called his contacts for him. He didn’t have his phone with him. He was wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie, and he only had a wallet on him. He had been shot twice in the chest. I only found one business card in his wallet, so I called you.”

Success means instant ascension, failure means utter ruin.

There were countless opportunities for success, and Dr. Jason had many successful experiences, but these successes were not enough to change his life.

Although Jason had saved Andy Deck Jr., it only brought him trouble.

The gardener was dressed in an evening gown, which meant he was going to a banquet, while the latest breaking news was that the president was assassinated while attending the Smith Charity Dinner and has now been rushed to the hospital.

It's easy to connect these clues together.

This was yet another decision that risked everything, but Jason decided to take the gamble.

Because the gardener had his business card in his wallet, and he received the card with both hands.

With this in mind, all risks can be ignored. Or rather, since the business card is in the gardener's hands, we must do everything we can to get it back.

Where are you?!

"Harlem, Manhattan".

"Bring him here..."

Chaihuo Niu said urgently, "I can't take him away. I don't have a car anymore. I'm worried that the police will find the car and he looks like he's about to die."

"Okay, I'll come find you. Describe it to me...where is his wound located, and is the bleeding heavy?"

"His clothes were covered in blood, and the gun was in his chest, right next to his heart... Oh God!"

Chaihuo Niu suddenly exclaimed in surprise, then said in utter shock, "Shot in the heart, how could he not be dead? Is he really a god?"

Dr. Jason was shocked. He exclaimed, "Nonsense! How could it be a gunshot wound to the heart!"

“But he is! He… he’s still alive, he’s still breathing, and blood bubbles are still coming out of his wounds.”

"Place your fingers on his neck, just below his ears, and press firmly. Can you feel his pulse?"

"No... Oh, yes, I can feel the pulse."

"Is your pulse strong? Can you feel it clearly? And is the interval between your pulse beats long? Here's what we'll do: make a sound every time your pulse beats, and I'll assess it."

The little girl made two soft "uh-huh" sounds, about once every two seconds, which was a relatively steady pulse.

Jason made his decision. He believed the gardener's heart hadn't been shot, so he immediately said, "Tell me the exact address, I'll be there right away. It will take at least thirty minutes, but I'll try to get there within fifteen minutes."

Chaihuo Niu was very wary. She whispered, "Call me when you get there, and I'll come pick you up. Please come quickly."

Chaihuo Niu hung up the phone. Dr. Jason pushed the plates on the table forward and said gently, "Honey, no need to clean up. Take the first aid kit, the biggest one. We're going to save... the gardener."

Dr. Jason had just moved from Long Island to Manhattan and landed his first business deal there.

The person they're trying to save this time is the gardener.

This is fate's arrangement, God's favor.

The two men left with a full set of emergency surgical instruments and medicines.

Chaihuo Niu waited anxiously in her room. She received a call after only ten minutes. The doctor she had just spoken to calmly asked her for her detailed address.

Without much hesitation, Chaihuo Niu gave the detailed neighborhood information and then started waiting outside.

A car drove up and stopped where Chaihuo Niu had mentioned. Chaihuo Niu went to greet them and watched as the two people took two huge rolling suitcases out of the trunk.

Chaihuo Niu became wary and whispered, "Are you a doctor?"

Jason nodded, then said calmly, "My...friend is there."

"They're inside, but why are you carrying boxes?"

Chaihuo Niu could only think of the possibility of murder and dismemberment, which is why she was afraid. So she immediately said, "This is Latin gang territory, you mustn't...you mustn't do anything reckless."

"This contains medical equipment, which is very heavy. If it were used to carry a dead body away, it wouldn't be filled with things. You can try lifting it."

The doctor knew what Chaihuo Niu was thinking.

Chaihuo Niu actually picked up the suitcase and, finding it indeed full of things, asked in confusion, "Aren't you taking him with you? Aren't you taking him to the hospital?"

Jason shook his head and said, "There's no time, hurry up."

This time, Chaihuo Niu didn't hesitate. She led the way inside and opened the door with the key again.

As Chaihuo Niu entered the room, the doctor saw Gao Yi lying on the bed and immediately went over and placed his hand on Gao Yi's right chest.

Judging from the position of the gun muzzle, Gao Yi should be dead. If he's not dead, then his heart must not be on the left side.

Sure enough, the doctor felt a heartbeat in Gao Yi's right chest; it was faint but clear.

The doctor let out a soft sigh, then turned to look at Chaihuo Niu, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is your relationship?"

As the doctor spoke, a scalpel appeared in the hand of the nurse behind Chaihuo Niu.

The doctor believed that this unattractive, plain-looking woman was definitely not a suitable candidate for the gardener. Considering the environment and the woman's appearance, the doctor decided that getting rid of her was the best option.

If Chaihuo Niu doesn't answer well, then the next moment, her neck will be cut open by the nurse behind her with a scalpel.

This time, Chaihuo Niu chose to tell the truth. She whispered, "I was working at the time, and he stopped his car and asked me for help. He said he was my god and could grant me three wishes."

The doctor paused for a moment, then exclaimed in astonishment, "He really said that?"

"He also said he could give me a lot of money, but I didn't really believe that nonsense. But he said he was my god and he could grant me three wishes."

Chaihuo Niu was a little dazed, then she said with a determined look, "So, I must save him. I want to fulfill one wish, just one."

"If he really said that... congratulations, you have the chance to have three wishes granted. Think carefully about your wishes."

After the doctor spoke very seriously, he tilted his head slightly. The nurse standing behind Chaihuo Niu then silently put away her scalpel and turned to open the suitcase she had brought.

Chaihuo Niu said very seriously, "How could a god be injured? But why isn't he dead after being shot in the heart? Can he really grant my wish? Is he really a god?"

The doctor pondered for a moment, then said very seriously, "He is human, but he is also a god, because he truly has the ability to change a person's destiny. Congratulations again. Now, please move aside and go to a corner to stay quietly."
