The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Chaos erupted instantly in the VIP ward! The piercing alarm of the electrocardiogram monitor struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Ronnie's heart rate plummeted from a steady 70-something to 40, and it's still dropping!

Blood pressure is also dropping rapidly, and blood oxygen saturation levels are sending alarming warning signals!

"Quickly! 1 mg of adrenaline IV push!"

"Prepare for defibrillation!"

"Check all IV lines! Stop all medications being administered immediately!"

Dr. Blake was sweating profusely as he gave instructions at breakneck speed, but there was a hint of panic in his voice.

This situation came too suddenly and was completely unexpected for postoperative complications.

Anna was protected by bodyguards outside the door. Through the glass, she saw the chaotic scene inside and her grandfather's rapidly deteriorating vital signs. She was so frightened that she trembled all over, tears blurred her vision, and she almost collapsed.

Ling Ye tossed the unconscious Marcus to the bodyguard at the door: "Keep an eye on him!" Then he rushed into the ward like a whirlwind!

His gaze, like the most sophisticated scanner, swept over all the equipment, pipes, and medical staff in an instant.

Dr. Blake was about to personally administer adrenaline to Ronnie.

"Wait a minute!" Ling Ye shouted suddenly, grabbing Dr. Blake's wrist!

His strength was immense, and Blake felt pain all over his body, causing him to stop moving abruptly.

"What are you doing?! It'll be too late if you don't use the medicine soon!" Dr. Blake was both anxious and angry.

Ling Ye completely ignored him; all his attention was focused on the new IV bag that the nurse next to him had just opened and was about to connect!

The liquid labeled "saline solution" looked perfectly normal.

But Ling Ye's nose twitched slightly.

Amidst the strong smells of disinfectant and various medicines, he detected a faint, almost imperceptible, sweet almond scent!

Cyanide?! Or other highly toxic substances that can cause rapid metabolic acidosis and shock?!

"Where did you get this bag of saline solution?!" Ling Ye demanded sharply of the young nurse holding the IV bag.

The nurse trembled at his imposing manner: "I...I took it from the mobile medicine cart by the wall of the ward...I've always taken it from here..."

Ling Ye snatched the bag of "saline solution," tore open the packaging with his fingers, dripped a small amount of liquid onto the back of his hand, and touched it lightly with the tip of his tongue with extreme caution (he had been trained to have a strong resistance to toxins)!

A strong bitter and burning sensation instantly came over me!

"Poisoned!" Ling Ye's voice was as cold as iron. "This bag contains poison, not saline solution!"

The entire room fell into a deathly silence! All the medical staff were stunned!

Dr. Blake gasped, his face turning deathly pale as he stared at the bag of liquid. "How is this possible?! All the medications on the cart undergo rigorous inspection!"

"Flush the pipeline immediately with a 5% sodium thiosulfate solution! Quickly!" Ling Ye gave the order while acting as if it were an instinct.

He quickly pulled out all the IV lines that were connected to Ronnie to prevent any remaining toxins from being injected!

At the same time, he took out the box of silver needles again!

Time is of the essence! The toxins may have already partially entered the circulation!

His movements were so fast they left afterimages! One silver needle after another, imbued with a faint burst of energy, pierced Ronnie's vital acupoints!

Neiguan (strengthens the heart and regulates the pulse), Yongquan (stimulates kidney qi and detoxifies), Baihui (raises yang and consolidates the body, awakens the mind), Zusanli (strengthens the body and nourishes the vital energy)...

He even used his fingernails to cut open Ronnie's fingertips and earlobes to perform traditional Chinese bloodletting therapy, squeezing out a few drops of slightly dark red blood in an attempt to quickly expel some of the toxins!

"Normal saline solution! Genuinely unopened! Rapid intravenous infusion to dilute toxins!"

"High-flow oxygen therapy!"

"Monitor arterial blood gases to prepare for correction of acidosis!"

Ling Ye's voice was frighteningly calm, and his instructions were clear and precise, as if he were the attending physician here.

Dr. Blake, recovering from his shock, witnessed Ling Ye's masterful acupuncture skills and composed command, and immediately chose to trust him unconditionally: "Quick! Do as he says! Go and get new, sealed saline solution immediately! Check all the medicines in the medicine cart!"

The nursing team was intimidated by Ling Ye's imposing presence and instinctively obeyed his commands, carrying them out swiftly.

Serious saline solution was quickly infused via IV drip. Sodium thiosulfate (a component of a cyanide antidote; the nature of the toxin is uncertain, but it can be tried) was prepared.

Sweat beaded on Ling Ye's forehead, but his hand remained as steady as a rock as he inserted the needle.

He focused on using acupuncture to protect Ronnie's fragile heart and major organs, and forcibly stimulated his body's own metabolism and detoxification functions to fight the toxins!

Outside the ward, Anna covered her mouth tightly, watching Ling Ye work like a god of war to save her grandfather. Her heart was clenched, and she prayed for another miracle.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling incredibly long.

Finally, thanks to Ling Ye's focused acupuncture and the combined effect of Western medicine's symptomatic support, the despairing alarm on the monitor gradually subsided!

My heart rate started to rise slowly! My blood pressure gradually stabilized! My blood oxygen saturation also climbed back above the safe level!

Mr. Ronnie was pulled back from the brink of death once again!

"The vital signs are stable..." a nurse murmured in disbelief, looking at the monitor, her voice filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

All the medical staff breathed a sigh of relief; they were almost completely exhausted.

Dr. Blake looked at Ling Ye with a complex expression, filled with lingering fear, boundless gratitude, and admiration.

If it weren't for this young man, Ronnie Roth would have died twice already!

Ling Ye slowly removed the needles, his face even paler than before, and he even swayed slightly.

The continuous high-intensity exertion, especially the final acupuncture stimulation that required him to concentrate all his energy, was a huge burden for him.

"The old man is out of danger for now." His voice was hoarse with a hint of weariness.

"But the damage to the body from the toxins will require further treatment. Dr. Blake, this is your responsibility. Completely seal off the ward. All medications, food, and equipment must be inspected three times by someone you absolutely trust before use!"

"I understand! Thank you! Thank you so much, Mr. Ling!" Dr. Blake said sincerely.

Ling Ye nodded and walked out of the ward. Anna immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Ling Ye... Grandpa, he..."

"It's alright now." Ling Ye gently patted her back, his voice softening.

Anna felt his body tremble slightly and his unusually high temperature. Looking up at his pale face, she felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

"How are you? You look terrible..."

"You've used up a lot of energy, you'll be fine after a rest."

Ling Ye indicated that he was fine, but his gaze turned to Marcus, who had just woken up and was being controlled by bodyguards!

And the torn-open poison bag.

His gaze turned cold and sharp once again.

There was more than one mole.

Marcus is the key link in delivering information and executing "Plan B".

But the person who could silently replace the poison in the ward's medicine cart—

That's the one who truly held the poisoned blade to the old man's neck!

This person is very likely in the hospital right now, or even just observing the results nearby!

"Little Sparrow," Ling Ye whispered into the earpiece:

"Investigate! Investigate everyone who has entered or exited this floor in the last hour, especially those who have been near the medicine cart in this ward!"

"Nurses, doctors, caregivers, even cleaning staff! Surveillance footage, access control records—we can't overlook a single one!"

"We're already investigating!" Lin Que's voice was filled with anger.

"Marcus's bank account just received a huge transfer from the overseas black market, immediately after he gave the signal!"

"This is clearly payment for murder to cover it up!"

"Furthermore, the packaging and labeling of that poison bag are extremely sophisticated, almost indistinguishable from the real thing; it's not something you can get through ordinary channels!"

Ling Ye walked up to Marcus, squatted down, and stared coldly into his eyes, which were filled with fear and despair.

"Marcus, or rather, what's your codename?"

Ling Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a soul-crushing pressure:

"Who ordered you to replace the poison? Tell me, and you might still live. Don't!"

Ling Ye glanced at the ward:

"I will make you experience twice as much pain as Ronnie did."

Marcus was trembling violently!

He looked into Ling Ye's eyes, eyes that seemed capable of devouring everything—

Thinking back to the near-successful poisoning attempt and the sudden reversal of the plan, her mental defenses completely collapsed.

"It's...it's 'Night Wolf'..."

He uttered a code name, his voice trembling:

"I...I only know this code name..."

"She always gave me the instructions through the dead pitch point..."

"I've never seen her before...and I don't know who she is..."

"She also placed the poison at a designated location beforehand for me to retrieve..."

Night Wolf! Yet another codename!

Ling Ye's eyes narrowed slightly. Pluto, carrier pigeons, night wolves... this organization has a tight structure and a clear division of labor.

"Was this poison replacement also ordered by 'Night Wolf'?"

"Yes...yes...she said...if the 'carrier pigeon' loses contact or I am discovered, immediately activate 'Plan B'...she will make sure the poison is in place..."

Marcus wept uncontrollably, "I...I'm just a nobody...please..."

Ling Ye stood up, no longer looking at him. A minor character? It's often these minor characters who can unleash the entire conspiracy.

"Little Sparrow, did you hear that? 'Night Wolf.' Focus on female medical staff, or people whose voices have been altered to sound like women. The scope has been narrowed down."

"Understood! 'Night Wolf'...is fully filtering personnel files and surveillance!" Lin Que's voice was once again full of energy.

Ling Ye looked out the window at the gradually appearing dawn, knowing that the night was about to end.

This night was filled with the danger of death, but it also tore open a corner of the enemy's dense fog.

Pluto, Night Wolf... who are you? And where are you hiding?

Meanwhile, the mole codenamed "Night Wolf" might be hiding in some corner of the hospital, frustrated by the failure of his plan, or perhaps looking for another opportunity.

Ling Ye's lips curled into a cold and wicked smile.

The game is getting more and more interesting.
