"Sis, what happened? How did Boss get injured? Haven’t you always worked well together?"
Lin Junyang had just returned to the team when he received news that Mu Xingfeng was injured during the mission. Hearing that Mu Xingfeng was wounded in the chest and had been transferred to the Imperial Military District General Hospital, he immediately applied to return to the Imperial City.
He couldn’t believe it. The hero he always thought invincible had gone down , shot in the chest, how critical must it be to be directly transferred to the Imperial Military District General Hospital?
Faced with Lin Junyang’s questioning, Lin Ruonan cried and shook her head. She didn’t know how to answer him. It was her mistake that allowed the enemy to exploit a gap, and Mu Xingfeng got injured trying to protect her.
"Junyang, this is a hospital, Xingfeng is still in surgery," Gu Haoyu said coldly.
"Brother," facing Gu Haoyu, Lin Junyang felt like he’d found his backbone. Back in school, Gu Haoyu was always the most responsible among them, the one who handled situations with the calmest demeanor and the most decisive actions.
In Nan’an, without Gu Haoyu, he would always call Mu Xingfeng Boss. But in the hearts of their brothers, Gu Haoyu was the true leader, even Mu Xingfeng held him in high regard.
"Brother, do you think second brother..." Lin Junyang’s voice choked up and his eyes reddened.
"He’ll be fine," Gu Haoyu interrupted Lin Junyang.
Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from the end of the corridor.
"Nan," Mom Lin, Jiang Xinru, spotted her daughter and walked over in quick strides.
"What’s going on? How is Xingfeng?"
Lin Weidong had picked up his wife and they came to the hospital together upon learning about Mu Xingfeng’s transfer. Initially, Jiang Xinru thought her daughter was in danger, but she realized it was Mu Xingfeng after getting in the car.
The Lin Family and Mu Family were close allies, neither wanted to see anything bad happen to anyone from either family.
"Mom—" Lin Ruonan looked at her mother, her eyes turned red once again. "Mom, it’s all my fault. Xingfeng got shot saving me. It’s my fault, I held Xingfeng back and now he’s hurt."
Lin Weidong stepped forward and patted his daughter’s shoulder. Although Mu Xingfeng was shot protecting his daughter, his daughter managed to carry Mu Xingfeng out from under the enemy’s fire and completed the mission. He felt proud of his daughter.
Mu Zhenzong also came over, "Ruonan, don’t blame yourself too much. You did your best to get Xingfeng out under such circumstances."
During Mu Xingfeng’s transfer, the south side had already reported the specific situation of this mission. Yet, due to his son’s uncertain condition, he hadn’t been able to think of anyone else.
"Yes, Nan, your Uncle Mu knows you did your best. Don’t blame yourself too much, Xingfeng will come out safely. How about you? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Xinru looked at her daughter, distressed by her disheveled appearance. For the first time, she resented her husband for letting their daughter choose this path.
Thinking of those young ladies from affluent families, who weren’t being nurtured at home, while their daughter was out risking her life.
Forgive her selfishness, she could devote her life to the country’s scientific research, understood her husband and son’s fight for the country, but couldn’t bear her daughter going down the hardest path for a woman.
"I’m fine, it’s just superficial wounds, they’ve already been treated," Lin Ruonan replied while wiping her tears, feeling like it was the day she cried the most in her life.
She grew up in a military family, taught that tears are for bloodshed, not for crying. But today, from the moment Mu Xingfeng was shot, her tears flowed uncontrollably, trying to digest the worry and helplessness.
