Chapter 1160 - 689: Wounded
Chapter 1160 - 689: Wounded
"Captain Luo, be careful..." As Lao Miao called out, Luo Ye had already dashed far ahead, waving back without turning her head, "Take care of yourself, don’t move around and open up your wound!"
"Got it." Lao Miao shook his head with a bitter smile. When did he become so useless? Look at that young girl, so full of energy. Thinking of Luo Ye’s shooting skills, Lao Miao secretly clicked his tongue in admiration.
Sigh, he probably won’t reach that level in this lifetime. When his son takes the college entrance exam, he must make him apply to a military academy. Such shooting skills can only be honed in the military...
Lao Miao anxiously stared in the direction of the village, his mind wandering, no longer concerned with competing against Company Three, just hoping that Shan Gang and the others would show up soon...
Five minutes later, Shan Gang and his team finally appeared in sight, and Lao Miao waved repeatedly: "Captain Shan, over here, over here!"
Shan Gang ran up to Lao Miao in a few steps, his eyes falling on Lao Miao’s abdomen: "Captain Miao, your wound..."
Lao Miao quickly explained: "It’s nothing, just looks scary. The one who stabbed me was a rookie, the knife went in at an angle, though there’s quite a bit of blood, it didn’t hit any vital areas. Moreover, Major Luo has already stopped the bleeding and bandaged it up; the blood you see is from before.
Captain Shan, Captain Hang went to the orchard to rescue Xiang Lianxing, and Captain Luo followed them in. Their situation is extremely dangerous, don’t worry about me, go help them quickly."
"Li Jinqiang, Wang Xiaosheng, get Captain Miao to the hospital quickly. Everyone else, follow me into the orchard and act in groups as planned!" With those words, Shan Gang had already dashed several meters away, then turned back to add, "No one is allowed to disobey orders."
Li Jinqiang and Wang Xiaosheng helped the still-resisting Lao Miao: "Our leader gave the order, so don’t try to be a hero anymore. Look at your abdomen, the gauze is soaked through. Even if it’s not a vital area, losing this much blood is life-threatening."
"I’m really fine. Going back like this, I won’t be at ease, sigh..." Lao Miao, not daring to struggle with his wound tightened, could only sigh helplessly, "I promise not to move, why don’t you go help them, okay?"
"No way!" Li Jinqiang firmly refused.
"There are about a hundred members of Forest Wolf, and we’re clearly outnumbered. At a time like this, every additional person is an extra bit of strength. Believe me, I wouldn’t joke around with my own life..."
"Don’t say more, if you truly want the operation to go smoothly, listen to us. Get you in the car, let Xiaosheng take you to the hospital, and I’ll hurry back."
"I’d rather hurry back myself..."
Li Jinqiang glared at Wang Xiaosheng: "Between us, who’s the better fighter?"
"But you have a family, a wife who’s good to you, and such a cute nephew; how could you bear to..."
Li Jinqiang glared at him again: "Stop jinxing it, it’s not our first mission. What nonsense are you spouting, not afraid of Captain Miao laughing at us?"
Lao Miao waved his hand repeatedly: "Why would I laugh? At a time like this, your calmness only brings me admiration. If it weren’t for us losing our cool, things wouldn’t be so passive..." He sighed regrettably, "It’s all my fault, I’ve put everyone in trouble. If anything really happens to Captain Hang and Lianxing, I’d be guilty for life."
"Captain Miao, deviations in missions are very normal. Xiaosheng, let’s speed up and increase our pace."
"Yes!"
With Li Jinqiang and Wang Xiaosheng carrying him speedily forward, Lao Miao’s face turned beet red: "I’m not that useless, save your strength, eh? Why is a car coming over?"
Li Jinqiang and Wang Xiaosheng followed Lao Miao’s line of sight and saw a Beijing Jeep speeding toward them. Li Jinqiang’s face lit up with joy after a moment’s thought: "The perimeter’s been sealed by teams Five and Six. If this car can get through, it means it’s ours. Great, someone can take Captain Miao to the hospital."
"Screech!" The car stopped beside the three of them, and the door opened as two tall and strong men emerged one after another.
"Commander Mo?" Li Jinqiang rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then swiftly stood at attention, "Reporting to Commander Mo, I am First-class Noncommissioned Officer Li Jinqiang!"
"Reporting to Commander Mo, I am Second-level Noncommissioned Officer Wang Xiaosheng!"
"Where’s Luo Ye?"
Studying the interrogating man, Li Jinqiang slapped his forehead abruptly, looking at the other with some excitement: "Could you be Major General Ye?"
"That’s right, I am Ye Xuan, currently the Mayor of Xiangshan City."
Mo Datong quickly chimed in: "He’s Luo Ye’s fiancé. Li Jinqiang, briefly describe the situation."
"Yes!"
"Wait!" Ye Xuan glanced at Wang Xiaosheng, "Can you drive?"
"Yes!"
Ye Xuan pointed at Lao Miao: "Take him to the hospital, Commander Mo will have Team Five’s people meet you, leave immediately, take our car."
"Yes!" Wang Xiaosheng replied, quickly helping Li Jinqiang get Lao Miao into the car.
"Mayor Ye, Commander Mo, my injury is fine, let me wait here." Lao Miao pleaded again, unwilling to give up.
"No, your wound may be okay for now, but if it gets delayed and infected, it’ll be trouble." Ye Xuan waved to Wang Xiaosheng, "Hurry up and take him away."
As the car drove away, Ye Xuan, Mo Datong, and Li Jinqiang rushed toward the orchard, with Li Jinqiang detailing the specifics of the operation so far along the way.
Halfway along the road, a large group of people marched over in a grand procession.
"We’re still late." Ye Xuan sighed, taking a few quick steps to leave Mo Datong and Li Jinqiang behind.
...
Luo Ye’s hands were tightly twisted together, her eyes anxiously fixated on the operating room, her body slightly trembling.
"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan tenderly held her hands, "Don’t worry too much, with her physical condition, she should be able to overcome this crisis."
Luo Ye bit her lip: "With her physical condition, it really shouldn’t be a problem, but... she did it on purpose."
When she rushed in, Hang Menglin had already engaged in a lively conversation with Arthur, the second leader of the Forest Wolf, using the code signals and tokens she previously obtained.
And Xiang Lianxing was tied to a stout fruit tree by the Forest Wolf members, his body wrapped in explosives.
To avoid arousing suspicion, she hid behind the tree, waiting for the right moment to act.
During the wait, Captain Shan rushed in with his men, followed by the outer team attacking, and within five minutes of intense battle, the Forest Wolf was clearly at a disadvantage.
Seeing the inevitable defeat, Arthur laughed maniacally and made a dash for Xiang Lianxing.
Hang Menglin was well aware of her capabilities.
Hang Menglin also knew how formidable her Flying Needle Technique was.
Hang Menglin was even more aware of how incredible her gun skill was.
As long as Hang Menglin could distract Arthur, she had the skill to kill him, but whether Xiang Lianxing could be saved depended on everyone’s cooperation, preventing them from lighting the explosives.
However, despite knowing all this, Hang Menglin chose the simplest method—she personally killed Arthur!
As a result, as her knife plunged into Arthur’s back, Arthur’s knife also pierced into her chest.
At the same time, Luo Ye fired shots while sprinting to Hang Menglin’s side.
At that moment, Hang Menglin hadn’t lost consciousness yet; she smiled at Luo Ye in relief and murmured, "Finally, I can be free."
From that sentence alone, it was clear she did it on purpose.
Considering her personality, she shouldn’t have acted this way. Despite the hardships she endured before, she persevered. Now, with love and a career... could it be because of Mr. Hang’s pressure that she decided to give up on life?
Luo Ye truly couldn’t understand, despite the initially tense relationship between them, they had formed a deep camaraderie now.
This mission’s success owed much to Hang Menglin.
Although she intentionally disrupted the plan and acted on her own, she managed to keep everything on track.
Why, at the final moment when victory was within grasp, did she take this path first?
The Hang Family had received the news and should be on a plane heading to Qujing; what are they thinking? Would they realize that Hang Menglin was driven to this by them?
Recalling her previous conversations with Hang Menglin, Luo Ye felt frustrated. Actually, Hang Menglin’s words had already hinted at a desperate plan; her advice to Luo Ye and Yu Na to get along well indicated this intention.
So, if someone loses the will to live, what’s the chance of saving them?
Ye Xuan gently patted Luo Ye, his brows furrowed tightly; this situation was unforeseen because he wanted to avoid impacting Luo Ye’s plan, which is why he rushed over at the last moment.
This was Luo Ye’s first time leading independently, and naturally, he hoped to be the first to congratulate her, but unexpectedly, everything was perfect except for Hang Menglin’s accident.
This incident would undoubtedly have an impact on Luo Ye, as the team leader, she would have to shoulder the responsibility regardless of who made the mistake.
There’s no reason to it.
His only concern was the Hang father and son, if they laid blame on Luo Ye, demanded accountability, then her next independent mission might be indefinitely postponed.
Hang Menglin’s action this time put the Hang Family in a defensive position, so shifting anger onto someone else, even dragging others down with them, might be what the father and son wished most to do?
"I ruined Captain Hang; it was all my fault..." A man’s sobbing voice came through as Luo Ye and Ye Xuan looked over to see Xiang Lianxing staggering towards them.
Luo Ye suddenly clapped her forehead: "I forgot to notify Qi Bin."
