Chapter 174 Oh, really? My foot does hurt a little!
Qiao Manman's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly pushed open the ward door and saw Wei Hanpeng carrying Lu Yuan as he rushed in from the hospital entrance.
His face was covered in tears and snot.
Behind them followed Miao Shoujun and Meng Taining, who were almost out of breath from running, and Comrade Zhong Jingfeng, who had injured his arm.
"What happened to him?" Qiao Manman's voice trembled as she reached out to check Lu Yuan's breath. Seeing that he was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"He took the bomb for Director Miao!" Wei Hanpeng placed Lu Yuan on the hospital bed, looking at his bloodied back, his voice choked with emotion.
Qiao Manman had only two words in her mind—Holy crap.
That's incredibly brave of him to shield others from a bomb. He survived on the spot; he's just incredibly lucky.
As the doctors and nurses wheeled the person into the emergency room, Miao Shoujun said with a face full of guilt, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for being so useless, I've dragged Lu down with me..."
Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is wounded!
Qiao Manman waved her hand, speechless. She slumped onto a bench in the corridor, utterly exhausted.
What could she say? Blame Miao Shoujun?
Protecting the safety of the people is what soldiers should do; Lu Yuan was simply following his heart.
But you can't say you have no resentment.
Knowing there was danger, he still rushed forward. Did Lu Yuan get his head stuck in a door? Did he even consider her feelings?
If this really happens, won't people criticize her for bringing bad luck to her husbands?
Good intentions!
After a long silence, he said to Wei Hanpeng, "Tell me what exactly happened!"
Wei Hanpeng nodded and said that they were ambushed while escorting Ishiguro Tomotada, Sada Tomoya, and other agents away from the machine factory to the interrogation room.
A man strapped with explosives rushed out from the street corner, intending to drag them down to hell with him.
At that moment, Lu Yuan swiftly kicked the man three meters away, then grabbed Miao Shoujun and Meng Taining, who were slow to react, and ran away.
When he felt the heat wave, he pushed Meng Taining two meters away, said "It's too late", used his back to block Miao Shoujun, and fell to the ground.
A rumbling sound rang out, and the shockwave could be felt within a radius of several meters.
Lu Yuan was knocked unconscious by the shock, but Miao Shoujun was well protected and only injured his ankle.
A group of people went over to check on his injuries and found that his back was covered in blood, with burns from the heat wave, as well as metal fragments and small stones embedded in it by the shockwave.
Miao Shoujun was deeply moved. He only realized that Lu Yuan was a soldier when Wei Hanpeng called him "Deputy Battalion Commander".
Considering the cause and effect, I have even greater respect for this group of soldiers who serve the people and disregard their own lives. I just don't know if he still acknowledges Comrade Xiao Qiao as his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Miao Shoujun slapped his forehead: "What are you doing? Get to the hospital to save my life!"
Wei Hanpeng tearfully put Lu Yuan in the car, followed by Miao Shoujun and Meng Taining. The rest of the people dealt with the scene and checked for any civilians who had been accidentally injured.
Qiao Manman asked, "What about those agents? Did you check if they were still alive?"
Wei Hanpeng shook his head: "It was too chaotic at the time. I was afraid of delaying the treatment, so I took Deputy Battalion Commander Lu away first. I wasn't sure about the specific situation of the spies."
However, even Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was so seriously injured; those others probably won't survive!
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, closed her eyes, and rubbed her aching temples: "Comrade Lu is alone in the ward, could you please go and help him out?"
"Okay!" Wei Hanpeng glanced longingly at the emergency room before jogging away.
Qiao Manman asked the system to amplify the sound from the emergency room. When she heard the doctor say that Lu Yuan's vital signs were stable and that the metal shards had not injured any vital parts, but that his back had been burned over a large area, her heart, which had been clenched with anxiety, finally settled down a little.
"It's alright, the system store has so many medicines, we can definitely cure him!"
What puzzled Qiao Manman was that it was just catching a spy, so how could it be so complicated? Could there be some other hidden story behind it?
"Master, please exchange two peace charms for me, and I want them to transform into the shape of red ropes!"
"Okay, host. 200 points deducted. Peace charm successfully redeemed!"
Last time, she was rewarded with 10 points by the system for thwarting Xiao Rizi's extermination plan, and she spent them without any hesitation.
Looking back now, I really regret not exchanging one more for Lu Yuan, which caused him such a serious injury.
Time passed slowly, and after the doctor cleaned Lu Yuan's wound, he was wheeled into the ward.
She was to share a room with Lu Yifeng for easier care. He instructed Qiao Manman not to get her wound wet and to constantly monitor Lu Yuan's temperature.
If a fever develops, ask the nurse to give the patient aminopyrine.
Qiao Manman thanked the other party and tied a red string around Lu Yuan's neck when no one was watching.
"Comrade Wei, I'm going out for a bit to buy Lu Yuan a towel and get him some food while I'm at it."
Please look after them.
Miao Shoujun quickly said, "Xiao Qiao, you stay here and take care of Deputy Battalion Commander Lu. I'll go buy some food and get some meals."
It's getting dark, it's not safe for a young girl like you to go out like this!
"Yes, sister-in-law, why don't you let me go? What if there are still spies..."
"Pah, pah, pah, don't jinx it." Qiao Manman politely declined: "They're both grown men, they're not awake yet. If they woke up, they'd be turning over and going to the toilet, I couldn't handle that."
Besides, it's not convenient!
After saying that, he looked at Miao Shoujun and said, "Factory Director, our train tickets are for tomorrow morning, right? Look at me, I won't be able to go back anytime soon."
Could you please help me cancel my ticket? It's getting late, you should go home and rest too!
Miao Shoujun waved his hand: "No rush, no rush, I'll take care of things here. After all, Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was injured while saving me, how can I go back to rest by myself!"
Qiao Manman then noticed that he was limping and quickly asked, "Boss, are you injured somewhere?"
"Oh, really? My foot does hurt a little!"
As he spoke, he looked down at his ankle and noticed that his pants were torn and had dark red bloodstains on them.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered a three-centimeter-long cut on my skin from a piece of metal. It wasn't deep, but it wasn't shallow either.
"Ouch, that explains why my leg felt so uncomfortable. Turns out I hurt it. Looks like I won't be able to go out and get lunch!"
Meng Taining said, "Hey, why do you all like to go to the trouble of finding things that are not close by? There's everything in Lu Gong's dormitory, why don't you just go back and get it?"
There's food too; our company has a cafeteria. Why bother with all this trouble? We can just ask Chef Fatty to make something for us!
Qiao Manman slapped her forehead: "I forgot!"
Miao Shoujun also said, "I thought it was in Changping City, so nothing was convenient." He recalled that when Yan Chengke and Guo Youfeng were hospitalized, everything had to be bought again.
Meng Taining's plan was unanimously approved by everyone. Even if Qiao Manman wanted to act alone, she had no choice but to return with him first.
The two, no, the three, along with Zhong Jingfeng whose wound had been stitched up, followed each other back to the machinery factory. They were very cautious the whole way, not saying a word, and keeping an eye on their surroundings.
Fortunately, there were no major incidents, and we returned to the machine factory safely.
The gatekeeper saw the group from afar and hurried over to ask, "Factory Director, Comrade Xiao Qiao, Comrade Zhong, how is Engineer Lu? Is he out of danger?"
