Meng Yuke wanted to hear more, but the patrol team came over, and the whispers around them instantly disappeared.

He couldn't hide his disappointment and gave a wink to the person behind him.

The people behind him understood, squeezed through the crowd a few times, and disappeared into the surging tide of people.

Jiang Ling didn't care about Meng Yuke and the others' every move, but the four people responsible for protecting her were constantly watching their actions.

"Second brother, go and follow them to take a look."

The burly man with a thick beard among the four spoke to the tall, thin young man beside him.

"Um."

Just as the tall, thin young man was about to leave, a strong and powerful hand grabbed him.

Where are you going?

Meng Yuke looked at him, his expression filled with suppressed displeasure and warning.

Zheng Zhe hesitated to look Meng Yuke in the eye, "I...I need to go to the bathroom."

"Perfect timing! I want to go too, let's go together!"

A short man with a baby face emerged from behind Meng Yuke, smiling as he hooked his arm around Zheng Zhe's neck and pulled him out of the crowd.

"Zheng Zhe, the base commander sent you out to protect Jiang Ling, so just do your job well and don't get involved in anything you shouldn't."

After walking away, Zhou Long released Zheng Zhe, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.

"It's not that I wanted to reach out!"

Zheng Zhe looked aggrieved, glancing meaningfully into the crowd. "I wouldn't dare disobey Big Beard!"

"2306".

Zhou Long suddenly said a string of numbers.

"2306?" Zheng Zhe asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"The next time Big Beard asks you or two other people to do something they shouldn't do, just tell him this string of numbers."

Zhou Long patted Zheng Zhe on the shoulder, his eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint in them, "Also, give him four words: 'Take care of yourself.'"

After saying that, Zhou Long turned around and walked back, leaving Zheng Zhe standing there with a cold sweat on his forehead.

He didn't know what the number 2306 represented, but he inexplicably felt a chill that made his heart tremble.

After Zhou Long and Meng Yuke met up, they noticed that the bearded man looked very unwell.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Meng Yuke questioningly.

Meng Yuke smiled slightly at him, and Zhou Long understood without saying a word.

If the base is in trouble, the four men with the big beard will definitely pick up their weapons and charge into the enemy ranks; they are a group of passionate men.

It's a pity we're not on the same side as them, which is frustrating.

......

Jiang Nian'an sped along and finally saw Yunhua ten kilometers away from Jingshikou.

"Second Brother!"

After getting out of the car, Jiang Nian'an rushed to Yun Hua's side. Looking at Yun Hua, who was covered in injuries, her hands trembled involuntarily, and she dared not touch him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury, it'll heal with a little rest."

Yunhua's face was ashen, and she was extremely listless, but she still managed to force a comforting smile at Jiang Nian'an.

"How could everything be alright..."

She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, her voice filled with self-blame and regret, "It's all our fault!"

"Don't overthink it. It's not your fault. It was my oversight that I didn't bring enough people with me when I went out."

At this point, Yunhua coughed twice, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He casually wiped his face with his hand, trying to distract Jiang Nian'an, and said while looking at the car, "An'an, it's really cold outside, why don't we go home first?"

"Yes, yes, let's go home first!"

Jiang Nian'an hastily wiped her face and quickly opened the car door. The Shadow Team members quickly helped Yun Hua into the car.

After Yunhua got into the car, the Shadow Team members bowed to her and then disappeared into the night.

Yunhua's injuries had been treated, but she had lost too much blood and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got in the car.

Jiang Nian'an turned up the car's temperature and drove as smoothly as possible.

When she returned to Jingshikou, she saw Yunfan and Shen Nanxing standing in front of the special passage.

"An'an, brother!"

Yunfan ran all the way here, and when he saw Yunhua, who was covered in injuries, his eyes flashed with heartache and anger.

"Those bastards, I'll tear them to pieces sooner or later to avenge my brother!"

He slammed his fist hard on the car, the loud bang waking Yunhua.

"Your brother didn't get killed by the enemy, but you almost scared me to death!"

Yunhua moved slightly to open the car door, patted the seat next to her, and said, "Get in first, we'll talk about everything when we get back."

Shen Nanxing had already sat in the passenger seat.

Yunfan took a deep breath and bent down to sit next to Yunhua.

Jiang Nian'an restarted the car and sped through the special passage, returning to the Shen family as quickly as possible.

First, they called a doctor to give Yunhua a full-body check-up, and then they gave him a crystal core to absorb and restore.

Abundant heterogeneous energy can accelerate wound healing.

Jiang Nian'an went to the kitchen and brought out a large amount of blood-nourishing ingredients, asking the chef to make several blood-nourishing dishes.

"Second brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have sneaked out on my own!"

If I hadn't sneaked out, my sister and brother-in-law wouldn't have gone out looking for me, and you wouldn't have gotten hurt while looking for us.

Xiao Longzhan stood beside Yunhua, tears welling in his eyes, his little hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, sobbing as he admitted his mistake.

“You do bear some responsibility for this incident.”

Yunhua first took the opportunity to scold Xiaolongzhan with a stern face.

"If it weren't for the timely rescue, you would never have seen your second brother again, and you would have had to go to my grave to cry!"
