The instant Lin Chuchu fired her gun, Liu Xiaonuan reacted immediately, and then saw the first half of a venomous snake, still writhing, fall toward her head.

Liu Xiaonuan's years of training allowed him to tilt his head, causing the snake to fall to the ground.

Before she could speak, the enemy opened fire on them.

Liu Xiaonuan quickly retaliated.

A few minutes later, the battle ended.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she remembered that Lin Chuchu seemed to have not moved for a long time.

She quickly crawled over, "Sister Chuchu, what's wrong?"

Liu Xiaonuan's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

She was afraid something would happen to Lin Chuchu.

In her heart, Lin Chuchu was a hero who did what she had always wanted to do since she was a child.

She once vowed to protect Lin Chuchu.

However, it hadn't been long before Lin Chuchu was injured.

Lin Chuchu opened her eyes at her voice. It hurt, it really hurt. Her shoulder was injured.

"I...I think I'm injured..."

He said one sentence and then fainted.

Before she fainted, she was still complaining in her mind, knowing that nothing good ever came of her going into the woods.

When Lin Chuchu woke up again, she was already in the field hospital at the Beijing base.

Sitting next to her was Liu Xiaonuan, whose eyes lit up when she saw Lin Chuchu open them.

"Sister Chuchu, are you feeling any better? Does it still hurt? Should we call the doctor?"

Lin Chuchu shook her head. She probably hadn't lost the effects of the medicine yet, so she didn't feel any pain.

Is this our base?

"Yes, Sister Chuchu, when you were injured, you told your superiors directly and they arranged for a helicopter to be brought in from the nearby army."

"After your wounds are treated, we'll take you directly back to our base by helicopter."

Lin Chuchu struggled to sit up, but Liu Xiaonuan stopped her. The bed was adjustable, and after adjusting the tilt, Lin Chuchu was able to sit up.

Lin Chuchu took a sip of water.

Feeling a bit better in my throat, I then asked.

"Where's Captain Qin? Are my parents alright? Did they get back safely?"

Liu Xiaonuan nodded, "Your uncle and aunt have returned. We didn't tell them about your injury; we just said you went on a temporary mission."

Lin Chuchu nodded. "Okay, by the way, where's Captain Qin?"

Liu Xiaonuan didn't dare to look Lin Chuchu in the eye until Lin Chuchu asked again.

"Captain Qin has been put in solitary confinement, and the higher-ups are very angry. This time they want to transfer Captain Qin away from you."

Qin's actions at the time were correct, but what angered the higher-ups was that Qin had taken it upon himself to use Lin Chuchu as bait to lure those people out.

Goodness, my prediction came true.

In fact, Lin Chuchu felt that there was nothing wrong with Captain Qin's actions, so she had always been supportive.

The enemy is lurking in the shadows and might cause them trouble at any time; it's better to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Moreover, given the circumstances at the time, even if they left, the other side might have other plans.

It would be better to let Lin Chuchu go with them, with Captain Qin providing close protection. If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Chuchu will be fine.

However, Lin Chuchu encountered an accident. Not wanting to watch Liu Xiaonuan get hurt, she disobeyed orders and preemptively threw a grenade at the enemy.

If she made a mistake, she was partly to blame, so how could she let Captain Qin bear the consequences for her?

"Xiao Nuan, have the commander and the others come over? I'd like to talk to them."

Captain Qin has always protected her very well, and she can't let him leave like this.

Liu Xiaonuan's eyes lit up. "The commander is outside. I'll call him in right now."

When the leader came in, he gave Lin Chuchu a complicated look. He knew that Lin Chuchu wanted to plead for Captain Qin. Although the responsibility did not lie entirely with Captain Qin this time, he had already made a mistake once. If he made another mistake next time, could Qin Rui and the others really protect Lin Chuchu?

"Sir, I know Captain Qin and the others very well. If it's someone else, I'll have to get to know them all over again, which would be a waste of time."

Lin Chuchu did not directly mention pleading for mercy, but instead started by talking about her own situation.

The leader remained serious, maintaining his previous attitude.

"I think that one's spirit is cultivated little by little. Anyway, you don't have any tasks recently, so six months or a year should be enough."

Seeing that his attitude remained so resolute, Lin Chuchu sighed.

"Sir, I'm slow to warm up to people, and there are some people I just can't get along with. If a new person comes along and we don't have enough chemistry, I'll be in even more danger."

"Moreover, this time it was indeed my decision to act on my own, so we can't just blame Captain Qin."

Lin Chuchu then recounted what had happened before.

The commander sighed, "As their comrade-in-arms, I am indeed grateful that you were willing to help save them, but we hope even more that you can protect your own safety."

Lin Chuchu knew, of course, how important her life was to China.

But she didn't want to put her safety at the expense of others.

"Sir, I hope you can convey my thoughts to the leaders above. I hope they can reconsider."

The leader nodded. "Okay, I understand."

He didn't want Captain Qin to leave the base just like that. After all, Captain Qin was very capable, and they felt at ease with him protecting Lin Chuchu.

Although she didn't receive a definite answer, Lin Chuchu knew that the possibility was actually quite high.

Next, Lin Chuchu quietly recuperated.

Every day, Liu Xiaonuan stayed with her, getting her meals, talking to her, and even helping her wash herself when it was too hot.

The punishment for Captain Qin has been announced: his military rank has been reduced by one level, he has been fined six months' salary, and he has to write a 10,000-word self-criticism.

When Captain Qin came to see Lin Chuchu, Lin Chuchu felt guilty looking at his haggard appearance.

"Captain Qin, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Team Leader Qin shook his head. "No, I should be thanking you. Thank you for saving my comrade."

Thinking about it, Captain Qin was still afraid. If Lin Chuchu hadn't reacted quickly, Liu Xiaonuan would definitely have been poisoned.

Even though Lin Chuchu has serum and antidote in her space, no one can be sure that she can be cured.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Lin Chuchu; otherwise, he would have lived with guilt for the rest of his life.

Team Leader Qin felt he had been slacking off and needed to train harder and use his brain more often.

Next time I'll definitely come up with a more comprehensive solution.

Mu Chen found it strange that he had seen Chu Chu's personal bodyguard today.

But didn't Mom say Lin Chuchu was on a mission? Why didn't Lin Chuchu's friends go with her?

He frowned as he thought about the person he had just met.

He always felt that Lin Chuchu was hiding something from him.

No, he has to go and see for himself.

Mu Chen turned and walked in the direction Liu Xiaonuan had left.
