Aside from occasionally comforting Mu's father, Lin Chuchu was filled with worry. He had been inside for so long, and she wondered how he was doing.

"Don't worry, Comrade Lin. The doctor who will perform the surgery on Mu Chen is the best in the entire hospital."

Seeing the grim expressions on their faces, the bureau chief offered words of comfort in a low voice.

This was also a way of comforting himself. Mu Chen was a promising junior he had high hopes for; he was capable and had a bright future. He didn't want anything to happen to Mu Chen.

Lin Chuchu nodded and said firmly.

"Yes, everything will be alright."

Mu Chen is very skilled, as personally certified by Captain Qin.

Team Leader Qin said his skills were even good enough to join a special operations team, so he was sure nothing would happen.

Lin Chuchu bit her lip, feeling very guilty. If she hadn't been so busy, she wouldn't have been unaware that Mu Chen was in trouble.

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and Lin Chuchu's spirits lifted. She rushed forward and asked the doctor anxiously.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"The surgery was a success. As long as he wakes up, everything will be fine."

The doctor sounded a little tired; after all, it had been several hours of surgery, and he wasn't young, so he was finding it a bit too much.

"The young soldier inside was lucky. If the bullet had been slightly off-target and hit his heart, he wouldn't have made it to the hospital."

The doctor's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

But Lin Chuchu's expression remained tense, and she spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Doctor, does that mean Mu Chen isn't completely out of danger yet? Could it be... he won't wake up?"

Her gaze was fixed on the doctor's face, and the others' hearts, which had just relaxed, were raised again.

The doctor nodded. "There are some risks, but the young soldier is in great shape. I think he'll wake up without any problems."

Hearing the doctor's words, Lin Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least there was a good chance of success.

Mr. Mu stepped forward and excitedly took the doctor's hand, "Doctor, thank you so much, thank you so much."

His eyes were filled with gratitude, and he didn't know how to express his thanks, so he could only keep saying thank you.

While Mr. Mu and the doctor exchanged pleasantries, Lin Chuchu kept her eyes fixed on the operating room door.

A short while later, the person was wheeled out; Mu Chen's face was pale and bloodless.

Lin Chuchu's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She always knew that Mu Chen's work would be dangerous, but she always thought that Mu Chen was very capable and wouldn't get too badly hurt.

But this time, she was really scared.

No matter how powerful Mu Chen is, he is still just an ordinary person.

Once it was confirmed that Mu Chen's surgery had gone very well, the director and Mu Chen's colleagues were relieved.

"Comrade Lin, I'm entrusting Mu Chen to you from now on. Thank you for your hard work."

The bureau chief said to Lin Chuchu with a face full of apology.

Lin Chuchu nodded. "Director, don't worry, Mu Chen is our family. We will take good care of him."

The bureau chief opened his mouth as if to say something more, but ultimately said nothing.

When he left, his steps were quick, and his expression was serious.

After taking the person to the ward, Mu's father meant that this matter should not be told to his maternal grandmother and mother, so as not to worry them.

Lin Chuchu meant the same thing.

She gave Mu Chen a deep look, then led Xiao Lu and Captain Qin out of the ward.

She said to Captain Qin with a serious expression, "Captain Qin, could you please contact my superiors? I want to know how Mu Chen got injured and why he was so badly injured."

She could tell from the director's expression that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated. She wanted to know what had happened and see if she could help in any way, perhaps even personally avenge him.

Lin Chuchu's eyes were filled with icy killing intent. For the first time, she wanted to kill someone. But when she thought of Mu Chen covered in blood and lifeless, she could no longer remain calm.

Team Leader Qin instinctively wanted to object.

"Comrade Lin, we and the public security are two different systems, so there will definitely be confidentiality agreements involved. There are some things that you are not allowed to participate in."

Lin Chuchu nodded; she was self-aware enough to agree, but she still stuck to her own ideas.

She said expressionlessly, "I'll discuss this with my superiors."

Lin Chuchu is very stubborn; once she's made up her mind, no one can easily change it.

Team Leader Qin sighed. "I'll ask my superiors first and see if I can find out what happened."

He was Lin Chuchu's bodyguard, and these things were his duty. Since Lin Chuchu had made up her mind, he could only listen to her.

Lin Chuchu's expression softened somewhat, and she thanked him earnestly, "Thank you very much, Captain Qin!"

Team Leader Qin hurriedly left and headed towards Mu Chen's ward. She saw two plainclothes police officers guarding Mu Chen's ward with vigilant expressions.

Seeing this, Lin Chuchu's worries did not lessen but rather increased.

Since the other party has sent people to protect Mu Chen, it means that Mu Chen's mission is not simple.

There's a possibility of danger even in the hospital.

Since Mu Chen is unconscious and unable to protect himself, she must protect Mu Chen and absolutely not let him get hurt.

Xiao Lu also tucked his pistol into his waistband, while the other group members hid in the shadows to help protect Mu Chen and Lin Chuchu.

Lin Chuchu entered the ward. The nurse had just started an IV drip for Mu Chen and was giving the group some instructions.

"Dad, you go back first. I'll stay here and watch over him."

Lin Chuchu spoke gently to Mu's father.

Mr. Mu shook his head. “You can’t be left alone in the hospital. I’ll help you take care of Chen’er.”

He was really worried about leaving Lin Chuchu alone.

"Dad, I'm actually worried about home. I feel more at ease with you here. Mu Chen's colleagues and my bodyguards are here. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
