After packing everything, including the emptied drug bottles, Xia Jinyuan told his future father-in-law, “Heroic souls return home, and sleep forever in their homeland, we will definitely bring him back, I promise you on my soldier’s honor, he will definitely be brought back.”
Chief Engineer Fu didn’t show a relieved look. Instead, his expression turned grimmer.
Because he knew bringing a sacrificed soldier back home was another extremely dangerous matter.
“We already know his exact location tonight; we’ll first send you and the three scientists off, then we’ll start our operation tomorrow.” As if knowing what he was thinking, Xia Jinyuan said in a more reassuring manner.
Chief Engineer Fu got up, then gently patted the back of the young soldier’s hand, “Please be careful.” He wanted to bring his guard home, but he didn’t want this group of soldiers who were risking their lives to be casualties.
“We will act carefully; there is no need to worry; bringing a fallen hero back home is also our duty.” Their resting time was done, Xia Jinyuan got up and prepared for departure.
Chief Engineer Fu spoke up. Instead, he asked Ye Jian, “Young woman, I think I heard you in pain. Did you get hurt anywhere? Quickly get it treated now.”
Probably because this female soldier’s voice was too similar to his wife, even though she had endured it and only drew in a quiet breath, he managed to hear it loud and clear.
Before even reuniting, Ye Jian, who was being cared about, had a warm feeling flowing through her heart, even Captain Xia didn’t hear what was wrong with her, yet her father had managed to figure it out.
She touched under her shoulder blades and got a handful of blood, as well as a piece of shrapnel that had embedded into her skin.
Probably was injured by the mortar shrapnel; her situation was already considered quite good.
“Thank you for your concern; I’m okay, just a small scratch.” They were still too close to where the crossfire at Radner’s home was, and they needed to leave immediately.
Ye Jian didn’t want to treat her injury right now; while speaking, she quietly put her hand down and wiped away the blood in her palms onto her shirt.
Her wounds will be treated after they send off these four scientists.
Ye Jian being injured, the special forces soldiers of the Elite Platoon were also quite worried, G3 whispered: “We need to treat even a scratch, now that we don’t have anything happening ahead, Blue Bird, get your injury treated then we’ll leave.”
“Blue Bird, don’t talk back; get your injury treated.”
“Where’s the injury? Let us take a look!”
K7, Z7 had all spoken up; everyone disagreed with Ye Jian treating her injury later.
Xia Jinyuan had already opened up the sanitary bag that he had just stowed away, while Chief Engineer Fu was answering the questions of the special forces soldiers, “Should be on the back, is it when she pulled me down to cover me and was injured by the shrapnel from the mortar?”
“Should be an injury from the shrapnel, it’s lodged in her flesh, pick it out with tweezers then we’ll leave; otherwise, as we walk and her back muscles move, the injury would keep rubbing against the same shrapnel, and the injury would only turn worse.”
As expected of a military engineer in missile development, he said everything so clearly, that even Ye Jian couldn’t come up with a way to deny them.
In the end, Ye Jian’s injury was treated.
K7 was using the dim light to shine on her back, while Xia Jinyuan was cutting apart her shirt with the dagger, a piece of shrapnel that wasn’t completely lodged in her skin was exposed in their view.
Chief Engineer Fu’s gaze slowly moved up from her injury; in the end, his eyes stared at the beautiful side-face that was being outlined by the dim light.
This was his first time seeing Ye Jian’s side-face, even though it was only being illuminated by dim light, but that intense feeling of familiarity violently crashed inside Fu Yusheng’s chest, when his heart tensed up from the feeling, the man standing on the side moved two steps in one, and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Jian’s face.
“You… raise your head, let me see.” He asked while trembling and with much disbelief.
