Wei Ziming was gently laid into the cave.
Only three people returned with him.
It was pretty clear that one person… had made a heroic sacrifice.
“Where were you hit?” Song Zhizhi crawled over quickly, asking. “Gunshot wounds, left thigh base, right calf.” Luo Xiaolang said.
“Two bullets hit him,” Song Zhizhi muttered.
“We need to remove the bullets first,” Luo Xiaolang said, “Master, did you bring the emergency medical kit?”
“Hmm,” Wei Ziming made an affirmative sound, his voice was heavy, apparently from holding back pain.
“Bear with me.”
Wei Ziming didn’t say anything more.
Luo Xiaolang had Song Zhizhi hold a military flashlight, its light was very focused and wouldn’t scatter to avoid exposure.
Ji Baijian and Yin Qin went to the mouth of the cave, they gathered some leaves to cover the light in the cave, ensuring that nothing could be seen from the outside.
Now inside the cave, everything was set. “Master, hang in there,” Luo Xiaolang said softly.
“Hmm.”
“Zhu Ming, give Master your clothing to bite on. Wang Wen, hold Master’s hands.”
‘Yes, sir,” the two elite troops replied respectfully. Song Zhizhi was by his side all the time.
She didn’t know what to say.
It seemed like all of this had happened because of her.
But she… did not want to regret it.
Because, what had happened, happened. Regretting it or not was not the point, what mattered was how to fight back.
In the quiet cave came the low, yet intense, sounds of Wei Ziming’s restraint.
“There’s one more bullet left,” Luo Xiaolang had taken out one.
Then.
There was another period of extreme restraint.
“Okay,” Luo Xiaolang said.
He administered medicine and bandaged him up.
Only after everything was done did Wei Ziming spit out the clothing from his mouth, took a deep breath, trying to manage his pain.
“Brother Ziming,” Song Zhizhi was by his side all along. “I’m fine, ” Wei Ziming said, “A little rest will do.”
“Hmm,” Song Zhizhi nodded heavily.
Luo Xiaolang found a clean spot and let Wei Ziming rest there. The three elite troops stayed by his side, and soon came the somewhat deep sound of Wei Ziming’s breathing.
The entire cave seemed filled with Wei Ziming’s steady yet somewhat rapid breathing.
Song Zhizhi hugged her own legs.
She really didn’t know, whether they could make it out safely.
Probably, nobody had expected that the Corpse Organization would come to assassinate her.
She herself hadn’t expected it, she had thought that Nie Wenzhi wouldn’t and couldn’t go this far.
Obviously.
She shouldn’t underestimate Nie Wenzhi, shouldn’t underestimate her power.
She was even guessing that the mastermind behind the scenes may not have acted on a whim. This must have been planned out for a while, perhaps for many years, or even generations, otherwise how could there be such a big force operating in the shadows?!
Why had her family become the target of this mastermind?
Among the four chief officials of the Commercial Management Agency, why were they selected?
Was it all just mere coincidence, or were there other reasons?
Song Zhizhi bit her lip hard, and her hatred spread endlessly moment by moment.
Someday the truth would come out, and someday she would pay them back double!
Just at that moment.
Luo Xiaolang’s body suddenly shuddered.
Ji Baijian also walked in from the cave’s entrance at the same time.
Song Zhizhi heard Ji Baijian say, “Someone’s coming.”
Luo Xiaolang seemed to have felt it too. “I’ll go and lead them here now.”
“Ji Baijian,” Song Zhizhi grabbed him.
“Luo Xiaolang, Song Zhizhi is in your hands now.” Ji Baijian pushed Song Zhizhi away and turned around to leave.
“Ji Baijian, I don’t want you to die.”
“I won’t..” Ji Baijian left a word behind, “Wait for me to come back alive!”
