Chapter 541 The Tragedy of Reunion
"You were shot twice, lost too much blood, and suffered multiple organ failure. With your current health, it will be difficult for you to make it to Xia Country."
Qi Tongwei's voice was low and serious. He looked helplessly at the weak Bingbing lying on the hospital bed.
When Bingbing heard Qi Tongwei's words, she was stunned at first, and then her emotions suddenly became excited.
Her eyes widened, filled with fear and unwillingness.
Her body trembled slightly and she tried to sit up, but because she was too weak she could only lie down halfway.
"If there is organ failure, can we just get an organ transplant?"
Bingbing's voice was filled with tears, and her mind became a little confused due to extreme fear.
All she thought about was surviving and returning to Xia Country, and organ transplantation seemed to be the only life-saving straw she could grasp now.
A hint of madness suddenly flashed in her eyes, and her fingers tightly grasped the corner of Qi Tongwei's clothes, as if grasping the last glimmer of hope.
"We have so many organs at home, can't you use them for me?"
She cried, tears kept flowing from her red eyes, sliding down her cheeks and wetting the pillow.
Her emotions were completely out of control. At this critical moment, she didn't care about the crimes behind those organs and only wanted to survive.
Bingbing continued to cry, "Go find the doctor who performed the surgery on me, or go find Gauss. He's the best doctor here. He'll definitely be able to save me."
Her voice grew louder and louder, each word filled with a desire for life.
Her heart was full of expectations for Qi Tongwei, as if as long as Qi Tongwei agreed to her, she could be pulled back from the brink of death immediately.
Qi Tongwei looked at Bingbing, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
He knew how ridiculous Bingbing's current idea was. Those organs were obtained through criminal means and could never be used for transplantation.
But he also understood Bingbing's desire for life. She was just a child who was trafficked here and grew up in a sinful environment. In the face of death, she had lost her mind.
Qi Tongwei gently held Bingbing's hand, trying to calm her down. His voice remained steady as he said, "Bingbing, those organs cannot be used. They came from a criminal transaction. We cannot use crime to save lives."
"Don't get excited yet. I'll find a way to make you feel better."
However, Bingbing didn't seem to listen to Qi Tongwei's words. She was still immersed in her own despair and desire to survive.
She kept shaking her head and crying, "No, you lied to me. It must be possible. As long as it can save me, I don't care where those organs came from."
Her body was shaking violently with excitement, and Qi Tongwei could only hold her down tightly to prevent her from hurting herself.
At this point, Qi Tongwei finally realized one thing: Bingbing was no longer the well-behaved and obedient child in Sister Qu's mind.
Qi Tongwei's thoughts began to drift away, and he seemed to see Bingbing in another parallel time and space.
In that beautiful world, Bingbing grew up healthily beside Sister Qu.
The early morning sun shines into the cozy little house. Bingbing will reluctantly crawl out of the warm bed at the urging of the alarm clock, wear neat school uniform, and sit at the dining table to eat breakfast prepared by Sister Qu.
Then, she carried her schoolbag and went to school humming a little tune.
In school, Bingbing is a hard-working and motivated student.
She sat in a bright classroom for morning self-study, reciting the text or doing exercises carefully.
Occasionally, she would have arguments with her mother, Sister Qu, because of minor adolescent troubles, such as declining academic performance.
Sister Qu would teach her earnestly, and Bingbing would pout. Although she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she would still listen to her mother.
She also has her own little secret, somewhere in the campus, where she is obsessed with a boy she only caught a glimpse of.
She would secretly share her little thoughts with her bestie, with a shy and sweet smile on her face.
She would participate in various activities at school, cheer for her classmates at sports meets, and show her talents in cultural performances.
Her life is full of sunshine, laughter and normal troubles. She respects life and knows how to care for others. She is a girl full of vitality and positive energy.
However, the reality is so cruel.
Now, Bingbing's personality has been completely distorted due to the harsh environment of the criminal group.
She regarded human life as worthless. At the critical moment of life and death, she actually wanted to use organs obtained through criminal means to save her own life, without considering the moral and ethical issues behind it.
She became extremely self-centered, thinking only of her own survival, and had no respect for life at all.
Qi Tongwei looked at Bingbing, who was crying hysterically and had crazy thoughts in her head, and his heart was filled with regret and helplessness.
He knew that Bingbing had embarked on a path that was completely different from a normal life, and this path was full of darkness and sin. It seemed extremely difficult to pull her back on track.
Qi Tongwei didn't say anything else. He silently picked up a new medicine and changed Bingbing's medicine skillfully and mechanically.
Then, as if trying to escape from something, he turned and walked quickly towards the door.
With every step he took, Bingbing's crying became weaker in his ears.
His steps were a little heavy, and Sister Qu's face kept appearing in his mind.
Qi Tongwei knew very well that Sister Qu had missed and expected her daughter for so many years. It was an emotion that ran deep in her bones.
But now Bingbing has become so strange and distorted. He really can't imagine how Sister Qu will react when she sees such a daughter.
Was it shock? Was it grief? Or despair? Qi Tongwei didn't dare to think any further. He only felt a heaviness in his heart.
After Qi Tongwei walked out of the ward, he closed the door gently, as if this could isolate Bingbing's madness and despair inside the door.
He stood in the corridor, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
At this time, the entire base had been cleared in less than half a day.
On the other side of the base, the handling of abducted persons is proceeding in an orderly manner.
These abducted people come from different countries, and their faces show confusion and fear of surviving the disaster.
The staff carefully transported them to different embassies.
Some of the abducted people had dull eyes and their bodies moved mechanically as if they had lost their souls; others kept shaking as if everything around them was full of danger.
Some of them have developed serious psychological problems due to long-term torture and abuse.
They couldn't even utter a complete sentence, but only mumbled some unclear syllables, which were the release of their deep fear and pain.
The embassy staff patiently received every abducted person with sympathy and a sense of responsibility.
They provide these poor people with food, water and basic medical assistance, and record their information so that they can be sent back to their respective countries smoothly later.
These abducted people finally see hope of returning home, but they don’t know how long it will take for the trauma in their hearts to heal.
Qi Tongwei watched all this with mixed feelings.
He knew that although the rescue operation was successful, the future of these abducted people, both physically and mentally, still had a long way to go.
And he himself will soon face the difficult problem of how to explain Bingbing's situation to Sister Qu.
Sister Qu and her husband arrived at noon.
They rushed here, their hearts filled with worry and longing for their children, their eyes red and swollen from crying.
Those red and swollen eyes were filled with fatigue and anxiety, and every bloodshot line seemed to be a trace of their inner torment.
The first time Sister Qu saw Qi Tongwei, it was like seeing the dawn of hope.
But at the same time, the emotions that had been suppressed for so long suddenly burst out.
Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she asked anxiously, her voice filled with tears: "Chief Qi, where is the child?"
Her body was trembling slightly, and every cell in her body was longing to see her long-lost child immediately.
Sister Qu’s husband, a gentle and refined man of short stature, follows closely behind Sister Qu, like her strong backing.
His eyes were also filled with worry. He reached out his hand to support Sister Qu and asked worriedly, "How is the situation now? Is he awake?"
Although his voice was steady, his slightly trembling lips betrayed his inner nervousness.
Qi Tongwei looked at them. He knew that the scene they were about to face would have a huge impact on Sister Qu and her husband, but he could not hide the truth.
He nodded silently and led the two of them towards the ward where Bingbing was.
Bingbing's cries could be heard from the corridor. It was a voice full of despair and madness, but Sister Qu and the others could not understand the words.
Sister Qu seemed to have telepathy. When she heard the voice, her body shook violently, and then she stumbled towards the source of the voice.
She ran so fast that she almost fell several times. Her husband followed closely behind, trying to hold her up.
Sister Qu finally ran to Bingbing's ward. Through the window, she saw a thin and small girl.
That's her daughter, she cried in her heart.
However, the scene before her made her heart feel like it was being hit hard.
Bingbing had tubes inserted into her body and looked so fragile and helpless, but she was struggling and crying. Her crazy look was something Sister Qu had never imagined.
Sister Qu covered her mouth tightly with her hands to prevent herself from crying out loud, but her tears kept rolling down like beads from a broken string.
Her body was shaking violently, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Her husband quickly hugged her from behind, and his eyes became wet.
Sister Qu's heart was filled with joy at having her daughter recovered, but more of it was grief and despair over her daughter's current situation.
She could never have imagined that the child she had been thinking about for many years would become like this.
Her mind was blank, and she just stared blankly at her daughter in the ward, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.
Bingbing in the ward seemed to hear the noise outside. Her frantic struggle paused slightly, as if she was trying to distinguish something.
Then she raised her head with difficulty and tried to look outside.
The little head raised up a little with difficulty, the pale face was covered with sweat, and there were still traces of tears in the eyes.
Qi Tongwei looked at Sister Qu. He knew that he would have to face this problem sooner or later, so he asked Sister Qu softly, "Sister Qu, do you want to go in now?"
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing Bingbing in the ward, and as if he was treating Sister Qu's already broken heart with great care.
Sister Qu's body was trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on her daughter in the ward, her lips trembling. She seemed to muster up a great deal of courage before she sobbed and asked, "Is she still alive? How long can she live?"
Her voice was filled with fear and desperation, and every word seemed to be forced out of her throat.
She hoped that Qi Tongwei could give her a different answer, even if it was just a glimmer of hope.
Qi Tongwei looked at Sister Qu, his heart filled with helplessness and sympathy.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said slowly, "It's hard to say, maybe a week at most."
His voice was low and heavy. When Sister Qu heard this answer, she felt as if her soul had been sucked out of her.
Her eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.
Her lips trembled even more violently, and she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Suddenly, her body shook and her husband wanted to support her, but Sister Qu fell directly to the ground.
Her husband was calling her name anxiously, but Sister Qu had already fainted from crying, with tears still on her face, those were the tears of a mother's despair.
Qi Tongwei and Sister Qu's husband quickly helped Sister Qu up. Qi Tongwei frowned, his heart full of self-blame.
He knew what a heavy blow this news was to Sister Qu, but he was powerless to do anything.
Sister Qu's husband hugged her tightly, his eyes full of grief. He didn't know how to face such a situation and just hoped that Sister Qu could wake up soon.
