Gu Zheng was rushed into another resuscitation room.
After a series of examinations, the doctor reached a conclusion:
"The patient's vital signs are all normal. He likely fainted from days of exhaustion combined with excessive mental strain!"
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Zheng was transferred to a regular ward and put on an IV drip.
It was nearly five in the morning by then.
The soldier named Zhang Ming promised to keep a close watch over Commander Gu.
Zhang Ming was from the North China Military District.

Lei Ming had originally arranged to have dinner with Gu Zheng and Song Ning.
But he had waited at the agreed place all evening yesterday, and neither of them had shown up.
